Our Strategy

Our  objective  is  to  develop  and  commercialize  our  product  candidates  to  treat  diseases  where  the  innate  immune  system  is  not  functioning
normally and contributing to the patient’s disease. This can be in cancer where Natural Killer (“NK”) cells are inactive and contribute to a tumor’s evasion
of the immune system and/or disease progression while expression of MUC4 and immunosuppressive cells of the tumor microenvironment proliferate to
protect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system or this can be other diseases such as neurologic and metabolic diseases where chronic
inflammation results in innate immune system dysfunction. Our initial focus will be the treatment of cancer, treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease (“AD”), and
the treatment of Treatment Resistant Depression (“TRD”). In cancer, we plan to pursue two parallel development programs: (1) with INKmune we will
initially focus on treating women with resistant disease relapse refractory ovarian carcinoma and patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (high
risk MDS); (2) with INB03, we will treat patients with cancers that express MUC4, a mucinous polyglucan on the surface of some epithelial cancer cells,
that appears to predict resistant to immunotherapy including women with MUC4 expressing HER2+ breast cancer. Our third drug candidate XPro1595
(“XPro"), targets Alzheimer’s Disease and TRD. XPro for AD has completed Phase I trials and is being prepared for Phase II trials. XPro for TRD is being
prepared for Phase II trials. During 2021, we closed our Phase II clinical trial for treatment of pulmonary complications due to COVID-19 infection as the
Company determined it was a high-risk, low reward program due to the development of vaccinations and therapies which were not available when we
started the clinical trial. The principal components of our strategy to achieve this objective are to:

●

pursue  development  strategies  and  regulatory  approval  pathways  that  allow  the  treatment  of  oncology  patients  with  our  lead  product
candidates, INKmune and INB03;

●  pursue development strategies and regulatory approval pathways that allow the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases in patients with our

lead product candidates, XPro;

●

●

adopt a product development strategy that solidifies our existing intellectual property (“IP”) to prevent competition and expand our IP suite
into related immunotherapeutic areas;

provide  clear  value  propositions  to  third-party  payers,  such  as  managed  care  companies  or  government  programs  like  Medicare,  to  merit
reimbursement for our product candidates; and

● Collaborate with other pharmaceutical companies with respect to, among other things, our INKmune and the DN-TNF platform that includes

INB03 and XPro product candidates and other products that will benefit from development or marketing beyond our current resources.

Pursue  development  and  regulatory  approval  pathways.  We  believe  INKmune,  INB03  and  XPro  may  be  approvable  under  pathways  that  are
potentially shorter than those typically available for drug products based on novel active ingredients, including as an orphan drug under the Orphan Drug
Act and approval under the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) Accelerated Approval Program (see “Government Regulation”). We have not yet
had a discussion with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) and/or FDA regarding such designation, but plan to do so in
the  future.  We  believe  the  INKmune  MDS  cancer  program  may  qualify  for  orphan  status.  We  believe  that  it  would  take  a  minimum  of  six  months  to
receive Orphan Drug status once we submit an application and a minimum of 12 months to receive a designation once we submit an application. We
might  never  have  these  discussions,  submit  applications  under  the  Orphan  Drug  Act  as  the  FDA  Accelerated  Approval  Program  or  have  these
applications approved if we do.

Adopt a two-pronged patent strategy.  We are pursuing a two-pronged product development strategy that will seek to solidify our existing IP to
prevent competition and expand our IP suite into related therapeutic areas. We are confident that our core in-licensed IP (see “Intellectual Property”) will
allow us both freedom-to-operate and provide robust protection from outside competition. We will continue to invest in expanding our patent suite. We
will also seek to further to strengthen our IP position by looking to in-license IP related to our focus on the innate immune system.

Provide  clear  value  propositions  to  third-party  payors  to  merit  reimbursement  for  our  product  candidates .  We  are  designing  our  clinical
development programs to demonstrate compelling, competitive advantages to patients and prescribers, and to demonstrate value propositions to third-
party  payors.  We  believe  the  use  of  INKmune  and/or  INB03  in  patients  with  a  high  risk  of  tumor  progression  and  death  from  tumor  should  prolong
survival, improve the patient’s quality of life and decrease the total cost of care for patients with these lethal malignancies. For example, ovarian cancer
patients relapse frequently. Each relapse requires a complex treatment regimen that has decreasing benefits. Treatment with INKmune as an out-patient
may provide a more durable remission and limit the need for treatment-associated hospitalizations. At the patient level, we believe INKmune and INB03
therapy,  once  approved,  should  improve  survival  and  quality  of  life.  At  the  payor  level,  we  believe  INKmune,  once  approved,  should  provide  more
predictable  costs  and  outcomes.  Therapies  for  Alzheimer’s  disease  are  needed  for  medical,  social  and  economic  reasons.  The  cost  of  Alzheimer’s
disease  to  the  government  is  large  and  growing.  The  cost  to  families  and  care  givers  is  real  and  burdensome.  We  believe  treatment  of  patients  with
dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, may provide a strategy to alter the costly dynamic of this disease in society today.

Collaborate to maximize the value of our technology . We believe there are two reasons for us to enter collaborations with other companies. The
first  is  the  further  development  of  INKmune,  INB03  and  XPro  by  either  providing  additional  innovations  to  the  product,  including  combination  therapy
strategies, and/or providing resources to improve the speed and breadth of the development process. The second is to optimize the commercialization of
our products either globally or regionally. The ideal partner will benefit us in both ways.

We continue to look for ways to utilize our unique capabilities to optimize clinical application of cell therapies. We believe that we have identified
a  way  to  manufacture  human  mesenchymal  stem  cells  for  the  medical  research  and  biotech  community  that  offers  large  volumes  of  high-quality,  low
passage human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells with minimal batch-to-batch variability. We believe this may solve the problem associated with
supplying an adequate supply of human mesenchymal stem cells for clinical applications. We have established a reliable supply of human umbilical cords
based on our agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank in the United Kingdom. We have developed a validated manufacturing process that
reliably  produces  contract  manufacturer  of  the  clinical  grade  (“cGMP”)  quality  mesenchymal  stem  cells  that  we  call  CORDstrom.  The  manufacturing
process can be performed at a contract manufacturing site under the direction of Mark Lowdell, the Company’s CSO. We will seek academic laboratories
and  biopharma  companies  who  need  a  reliable  source  of  high  quality  pooled  human  umbilical  cord  mesenchymal  stem  cells  for  research  of  and
development  of  clinical  products.  Once  identified,  we  plan  to  act  as  a  cGMP  for  the  development  of  therapeutic  products  by  utilizing  contract
manufacturers. Because the production of the product is not continuous, we do not expect to engage a contract manufacturer until we have a customer
identified.  To  date,  we  are  supporting  two  academic  clinical  trials  with  CORDstrom.  One  program  is  a  Phase  2  trial  sponsored  by  the  Great  Ormond
Street Children’s Hospital in the UK treating children with erythematous bullousa, a disfiguring skin disease in children that is similar to a second degree
burn and the second program is treatment of system lupus in adults. Both these studies are ongoing. INmune Bio is supplying the clinical product for
treatment of these patients. The Company does not know the results of these trials until they are announced by the principle investigators at the clinical

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
sites. We have identified contract manufacturers in the UK that have the capability to produce cGMP stem cells. We expect the commercial arrangement
with academic laboratories or biopharma companies to be a combination of fee-for-service and licensing that does not require additional investment by
us. We will be opportunistic in pursuing therapeutic opportunities for our own portfolio with this platform in the future if resources become available. The
regulatory path for therapeutic applications of the mesenchymal stem cell products is well established and similar to the regulatory approval process for
other cell therapies. We will only be responsible for regulatory compliance related to manufacturing of the mesenchymal stem cells when the product is
being developed by a third party. When developing a therapeutic product for the Company’s commercial portfolio, the Company will be responsible for all
aspects of the regulatory process.

Overview of Immunotherapy for Cancer

The  immune  system  has  two  parts,  innate  and  adaptive.  The  innate  immune  system  is  the  body’s  first  line  of  defense  against  an  infection,
providing  immediate,  non-specific  responses  to  eliminate  harmful  cells  in  the  body.  Components  of  the  innate  immune  system  include  cytokines,
chemokines, macrophages, neutrophils and NK cells, among others.

The adaptive immune system is often initially triggered by the innate immune system, mounts a delayed response against diseased cells and
plays a role protecting against re-infection. An adaptive immune response is highly specific to a pathogen or antigen and is developed or learned from
prior  exposure.  Key  components  of  the  adaptive  immune  system  include  antibodies  which  bind  to  antigens  and  mark  them  for  destruction  by  other
immune cells, B-cells which produce these antibodies upon exposure to antigens, and T-cells which attack and eliminate the diseased cells.

The biopharmaceutical industry has made significant advances in harnessing specific components of innate and adaptive immune systems for

therapeutic use. Some of these approaches are summarized below.

Cytokines. One of the early applications of immunotherapy is the use of cytokines, including interferons and interleukin-2 (“IL-2”). Interferons are
molecules that inhibit the growth and replication of diseased cells and stimulate innate immune cells to attack them. They have been used as standard of
care for hepatitis B and C and multiple sclerosis, and to a lesser extent, as treatment for certain cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia, cutaneous
T-cell  lymphoma,  myeloma  and  non-Hodgkin’s  lymphoma.  However,  the  use  of  interferons  has  generally  decreased  over  the  years  due  to  serious
adverse events (e.g., flu-like symptoms and dramatic weight loss) and introduction of new therapies with higher efficacy, better safety profiles and more
convenient  administration  although  Alpha-interferon  remains  the  treatment  of  choice  for  some  hematological  conditions  such  as  polycythemia.  IL-2
activates T-cells and NK cells to attack diseased cells. IL-2 has been used to treat select cancers, but due to its relatively poor safety profile, physicians
often  only  resort  to  this  therapy  for  the  most  advanced  settings.  Tumor  Necrosis  Factor  alpha  (“TNF”)  is  the  focus  of  INB03.  TNF  biology  has  four
elements that include two cytokines, soluble TNF and trans-membrane TNF (“sTNF” and “tmTNF,” respectively), and two receptors, TNF Receptor 1 and
2  (“TNFR1”  and  “TNFR2”).  The  biology  of  TNF  ligation  of  TNFR  varies  dramatically  based  on  what  elements  of  the  TNF  system  that  are  used.  sTNF
binding  to  TNFR1  is  responsible  for  inflammation  and  cell  death  while  sTNF  binding  to  TNFR2  promotes  proliferation  of  regulatory  T  cells  (“Treg”).  In
patients with advanced cancers, increased sTNF is not favorable to long-term survival because it promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and
metastasis while making the tumor microenvironment more immunosuppressive promoting resistance to therapy. In the CNS, sTNF promotes neuronal
cell  death,  demyelination  and  synaptic  pruning  while  tmTNF  promotes  nerve  cell  survival,  improves  synaptic  function  and  stimulates  remyelination.  In
brief,  sTNF  is  the  “bad”  TNF  and  tmTNF  is  the  “good”  TNF.  In  patients  with  cancer,  infection  or  neurologic  disease,  blockade  of  tmTNF  function  has
negative consequences such as immunosuppression, increased infection, synaptic dysfunction and demyelination.

Antibody therapy. Antibodies exist in three formats: monoclonals (“mAbs”), oligo/polyclonal and antibody-drug conjugates. mAbs represent an
effective  therapeutic  modality  and  are  important  to  the  treatment  paradigm  of  various  diseases.  Drug  manufacturers  have  leveraged  mAbs’  ability  to
induce an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, or ADCC effect to develop better treatments that prolong survival and quality of life of patients.
In addition, mAbs designed to inhibit specific checkpoints in the immune system have overcome in vivo immune suppression and the resulting immune
responses have led to profound therapeutic benefit in some patients. However, the degree of efficacy of these therapies is heavily reliant on the immune
system  of  patients,  many  of  whom  are  severely  immuno-compromised.  In  addition,  mAbs  are  manufactured  through  a  complex  process  that  requires
purification of cell products created from a cell line. Polyspecific antibodies, for example bi-specific antibodies, are able to target more than one antigen.
These are often used to bring and effector T cell in contact with a target cell. Antibody drug conjugates are mAbs attached to a toxin, chemotherapy or
radio therapy that delivers the cancer killing payload directly to the cancer.

3

Dendritic  Cell  Therapies.  This  approach  is  designed  to  indirectly  stimulate  a  patient’s  T-cells  by  leveraging  the  role  of  dendritic  cells  in
presenting  antigens  to  T-cells.  Cancer  vaccines  are  the  most  common  application  of  dendritic  cells.  The  only  FDA-approved  dendritic  cell  therapy  is
PROVENGE, which entails collecting monocytes from the patient, maturing them into dendritic cells, “loading” ex vivo with the patient’s cancer antigens,
and then re-infusing in the patient. Currently, this process is cumbersome and expensive, and again, relies on an intact and effective immune system of
the  patient.  There  are  additional  ongoing  preclinical  studies  and  clinical  trials  being  conducted  by  our  competitors  aimed  at  addressing  certain  of  the
limitations associated with this approach. To date, current clinical results of dendritic cell therapies have been mixed.

CAR-T and TCR Therapies.  T-cells recognize diseased cells by receptors engaging with antigens that are present on or inside the diseased
cells. CAR-T therapy entails genetically engineering T-cells to express synthetic CARs that direct T-cells to antigens on the surface of cancer cells. TCR
therapy modifies T-cells to express high-affinity tumor specific TCRs that recognize intra-cellular antigens that must be presented on the surface of target
cells. In early clinical trials, CAR-T and TCR therapies have demonstrated impressive anti-tumor activity in a narrow spectrum of hematologic cancers
and  garnered  significant  attention  by  research  institutions  and  biopharmaceutical  companies.  We  believe  a  key  limitation  of  adaptive  autologous
immunotherapy  is  the  need  to  retrieve  non-compromised  immune  cells  from  a  cancer  patient  which  requires  a  complex  and  costly  manufacturing
process to develop the therapy. The complexity of this personalized process is reflected in the price of the two approved therapies. CAR-T therapies -
tisagenlecleucel  and  axicabtagene  ciloleucel  for  advanced  leukemia  and  lymphoma  respectively.  The  cost  of  a  single  therapy  is  many  hundreds  of
thousands of dollars. As a consequence of this need to harvest active T-cells, current Phase I clinical trials for autologous CAR-T cell therapy in large part
enroll  patients  from  highly  selected,  often  relatively  early-stage  disease  in  a  narrow  spectrum  of  cancers,  including  bulky  hematological  cancers.  In
addition,  Phase  I  clinical  trials  of  CAR-T  cell  immunotherapy  have  reported  severe  adverse  toxicities  of  cytokine  release  syndrome  and  neurotoxicity,
requiring hospitalization, pre-conditioning and, in some instances, intensive care unit admission following side effects associated with cytokine release
syndrome. As a result, though our competitors continue to develop their CAR-T and TCR product candidates with the goal of addressing certain of the
limitations associated with these approaches, we believe these serious challenges may limit their potential and use in a variety of indications, including

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
solid tumors.

Checkpoint  Inhibitors.  Immune  cells  express  proteins  that  are  immune  checkpoints  that  control  and  down-regulate  the  immune  response.
These are best defined in T lymphocytes and include PD-1, CTLA-4, TIM-3 and LAG3. Tumor cells express the ligands to these receptors. When T cells
bind  the  ligand  to  these  proteins  on  the  tumor  cells,  the  T  cell  is  turned  off  and  does  not  attempt  to  attack  the  tumor  cell.  Thus,  checkpoint  inhibitors
(“CPI”) are part of the complex strategy used by the tumor to evade the patient’s immune system and are responsible for resistance to immunotherapy.
Biopharmaceutical companies have successfully developed CPI that block the receptor/ligand interaction to promote the adaptive immune response to
the tumor. Six CPI are currently approved, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab for a wide variety of solid
tumors including melanoma, lung, bladder, gastric cancers and others. More CPI are in development and more tumor types will be added to the list of
sensitive tumors over the next years. CPI have become the backbone of cancer therapy and are expected to be the best -selling class of drugs by 2027.

NK Cells.  NK cells typically represent approximately 2% to 13% of circulating lymphocytes and are a critical component of the immune system
responsible  for  innate  immunity.  Unlike  adaptive  immune  cells,  they  are  ever  present  and  ready  to  attack,  having  the  inherent  ability  to  detect  and
eliminate diseased cells without the need for antigen presentation, which is why they are called “natural killers.”

NK cells bind to stress ligands expressed by the diseased cells and directly eliminate them. This binding induces NK cells to release cytokines,
including, interferons and GM-CSF, which are integral in recruiting additional innate and adaptive immune responses by the host. NK cells also represent
a critical effector cell for ADCC, whereby target cells bound with human antibodies, whether made by the patient’s body or administered, are selectively
destroyed by the NK cells.

Our Innate Immune Dominant-Negative TNF product candidate

We renamed XPro, which we license from Xencor, to INB03 when it is used for cancer related indications. We will continue to call the drug XPro
when used for treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and TRD discussed below. INB03 and XPro are the same drug with
different names for marketing purposes. INB03 is a novel innate immune system check-point inhibitor that we believe decreases expression of MUC4 by
the tumor, an important resistance mechanism to immunotherapy, decreases proliferation of MDSC, promotes recruitment of cytotoxic T cells to the TME
and  may  convert  immunosuppressive  tumor  macrophages  into  tumor  phagocytic  macrophages.  In  murine  models,  these  changes  make  the  tumor
reverse resistance to treatment with immunotherapy alone or in combination with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such a lapatinib. MUC4 expression is
increased by sTNF. Resistance to trastuzumab therapy by MUC4 expressing HER2+ breast and gastric cancer cells is driven by steric hinderance. By
neutralizing sTNF with INB03, MUC4 expression decreases allow trastuzumab to bind HER2/neu. The mechanism by which combination of INB03 with
TKI improves efficacy over TKI alone remains under investigation. By using INB03 as part of combination therapy for cancer, we believe the patient’s
dysregulated immune response, a hallmark of cancer progression and resistance to therapy, to be converted to a coordinated immune response that can
overcome resistance mechanisms to immunotherapy. These immune responses have been studied in at least two animal models. In a murine model of
an  inflammatory  cancer,  where  3-methylcholanthrese  is  given  to  mice  in  a  subcutaneous  injection  that  causes  the  development  of  multiple  cutaneous
fibrosarcoma.  This  model  was  developed  by  Y  Akamatsu  in  1967  while  working  at  the  National  Cancer  Institute  of  the  NIH.  In  research  published  by
Professor Nikola Vujanovic in Cancer Immunology Research  in 2016, treatment with INB03 resulted in smaller and fewer cancers with increased survival.
INB03  is  an  engineered  PEGylated  protein  that  neutralizes  human  soluble  TNF,  a  human  inflammatory  cytokine  that  is  increased  in  patients  with
advanced cancer. By specifically neutralizing the cytokine, there is decreased phosphorylation of STAT3, an essential step required for the proliferation of
the  MDSC  population,  and  secretion  of  the  immunosuppressive  cytokines.  The  combination  of  decreased  MDSC  proliferation  and  decreased
immunosuppressive  cytokines  allows  the  immune  system  to  respond  to  the  tumor.  This  data  was  published  in  an  article  entitled  Inhibition  of  Soluble
Tumor Necrosis Factor Prevents Chemically Induced Carcinogenesis in Mice in Cancer Immunology Research in Cancer Immunology Research  2016. In
summary, INB03 functions as an innate immune system checkpoint inhibitor by eliminating the population of MDSC that provides an immunosuppressive
shield protecting the tumor, the patient’s immune system is able to function normally to the benefit of the patient – it can attack the tumor. TNF plays an
important  role  in  breast  cancer  (Schillaci  R,  Front.  Oncol.,  22  April  2020  | https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2020.00584).  In  a  murine  model  of  trastuzumab
resistant breast cancer using JMIT-1 cells, a human cell line of HER2 positive breast cancer resistant to trastuzumab placed into immunocompromised
mice,  INB03  downregulates  MUC4  from  the  surface  of  the  JMIT-1  HER2+  breast  cancer  cells  to  allow  the  trastuzumab  resistant  cells  to  become
trastuzumab  sensitive  (Figure  A  from  Bruni,  NYAS  2020)  to  decrease  tumor  growth  (from  Schillaci  SABCS  2018,  Figure  B).  JMIT-1  cells  are  also
resistant to lapatinib, a TKI inhibitor used as a second line therapy in women with trastuzumab resistant HER2+ breast cancer. The addition of INB03 to
lapatinib in the animal model reverses lapatinib resistance in part by decreasing expression of MUC4 (from Bruni NYAS 2020, Figure C). In addition to
decreasing  resistance  to  trastuzumab  by  decreasing  MUC4  expression,  INB03  decreases  the  immunosuppressive  tumor  microenvironment  (Schillaci
SABCS  2018,  Bruni  NYAS  2020).  Recently,  Dr.  Schillaci  reported  the  MUC4  expressing  triple  negative  breast  (TNBC)  cancer  patients  have  a  worse
overall  survival.  (Schillaci  SABCS  2021).  These  data  may  be  relevant  to  all  tumors  that  express  HER2  or  MUC4  including  upper  gastrointestinal
malignancies  such  as  gastric  and  pancreatic  cancer.  We  believe  MUC4  expression  is  a  biomarker  of  resistance  that  may  dictate  changes  therapeutic
strategy by clinical teams

Because INB03 targets the patient’s immune system and not the tumor, we believe INB03 is an immunotherapy that can be used to treat many
types of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors as part of combination therapy. The decision to use INB03 in a patient will be based on biomarkers
that  should  predict  that  a  patient  will  benefit  from  treatment  with  the  drug.  We  believe  the  ideal  biomarker  is  easy  to  use  and  is  determined  before
treatment begins. MUC4 expression by epithelial tumors is an example of this type of biomarker. Our Phase I clinical trial preceded the identification of
MUC4  as  a  biomarker  and  focused  on  using  INB03  as  monotherapy.  This  is  a  typical  Phase  I  clinical  trial  design  for  first-in-man  trials  in  cancer.  We
expect to use INB03 as part of combination therapy with approved cancer therapies as part of Phase II development. We do not expect to need to modify
INB03 therapy to treat each different type of cancer, because INB03 therapy targets the immune system, not the cancer. We do expect to develop the
INB03 beyond Phase II to target a specific type of cancer to meet the current system of regulatory approval. For instance, INB03 may be approved to
treat  patients  with  HER2+/MUC4+  breast  cancer.  To  get  subsequent  approval  for  the  treatment  of  patients  with  MUC4+  TNBC  or  MUC4+  pancreatic
cancer, we will need to perform a pivotal trial in patients with TNBC and pancreatic cancer respectively. After the first regulatory approval, if and when
achieved,  we  believe  the  difficulty  and  cost  of  achieving  these  labels  extensions  will  decline  with  each  successive  approval.  At  this  time,  we  cannot
predict  if  patients  without  biomarkers  of  inflammation,  elevated  MDSC  or  cytokines,  or  increased  expression  of  MUC4  will  benefit  from  treatment  with
INB03. Those studies may be performed in the future, but they are not a priority.

XPro neutralizes soluble TNF in the brain in exactly the same way INB03 neutralizes soluble TNF in the tumor microenvironment but the effects
of soluble TNF neutralization in the brain are different. The cause of the destructive neuroinflammation in the brain are microglial and astroglial cells. The
glial cell are two of four cells in the neural unit that also includes oligodentrocytes and nerve cells. Activated microglial cells are considered the resident
macrophages of the brain. The primary role of microglial cells is to protect the neural unit from infection. When innate immune dysfunction causes chronic
inflammation, activated microglial cells produce soluble TNF that activates astrocytes. Activated glial cells cause nerve cell and oligodrocyte dysfunction

 
 
 
 
 
 
that  results  in  synaptic  pruning,  nerve  cell  death  and  demyelination  of  neurons.  These  pathologies  contribute,  in  part,  to  neurodegenerative  diseases
such as AD, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, MS, Huntington’s disease, glaucoma and TBI (traumatic brain injury) may contribute to neuropsychiatric diseases
such  as  depression,  bi-polar  disease,  sleep  disorders,  autism,  schizophrenia  and  PTSD.  In  the  setting  of  AD,  microglial  activation  causes  dendritic
pruning,  synaptic  dysfunction  and  nerve  cell  death  that  contributes  to  cognitive  decline  and  the  behavioral  manifestations  of  AD  including  depression,
aggressiveness, sleep disorders, hallucinations and anhedonia. Elimination of microglial activation should reverse these symptoms. Because soluble TNF
is the apex cytokine in the inflammatory cytokine cascade, neutralization of soluble TNF with XPro should prevent glial activation and normalizes function
of the neural unit.

The  Company  has  completed  a  Phase  I  trial  using  XPro  to  reverse  neuroinflammation  in  patients  with  Alzheimer’s  disease.  The  trial  was
performed in Australia and is partially funded by a $1M USD Part-the-Cloud Award from the Alzheimer’s Association. The clinical trial is the first in the
Company’s  development  program  for  the  treatment  of  dementia.  The  open  label,  dose  escalation  trial  in  patients  with  Alzheimer’s  disease  with
biomarkers of peripheral inflammation (one of CRP>1.5mg/L, HgbA1c>6.0, ESR>10sec or have ApoE4) treats the patients with XPro as a once-a-week
subcutaneous  injection  for  3  months.  Patients  have  multiple  biomarkers  of  neuroinflammation  tested  before  and  during  therapy  including  soluble
biomarkers in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, behavioral biomarkers (neuropsychiatric symptoms of AD) and neuroimaging biomarkers using MRI. The
primary goal of this short, open label study is to demonstrate that treatment with XPro decreases neuroinflammation safely and to define the dose of XPro
to use in the Phase II trial. Studies of cognitive function are performed on the patients but are not expected to show significant change because of the
short duration of the trial and the wide range of disability in patients enrolled in the clinical trial (MMSE range: 24-12). The goal of the planned Phase II
trial will be to demonstrate the prolonged control of neuroinflammation in patients with dementia will help control cognitive decline. The Company plans
two Phase II trials, one each in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild AD.

The trial enrolled 18 patients at doses of 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0mg/kg given once a week as subcutaneous injection for three months. Patients in the
10mg/kg  group  were  offered  extended  us  of  the  drug  for  up  to  12  months.  Three  patients  remained  on  XPro  for  12  months.  Preliminary  data  was
presented in a webinar on 13 July 2020. Neuroimaging data from six patients were presented in the figure below. In summary, treatment with XPro at
either  0.3  or  1.0mg/kg  once-a-week  as  a  subcutaneous  injection  (low  and  target  dose  respectively)  decreased  white  matter  free  water  (WMFW)  as
measured  by  MRI.  WMFW  is  a  validated  biomarker  of  neuroinflammation.  Although  the  number  of  patients  is  low,  there  was  a  dose  response  with  a
greater  decrease  in  WMFW  in  the  target  dose  compared  to  the  low  dose  group.  An  analysis  of  inflammation  in  white  matter  tracts  demonstrated  a
significant  decrease  in  WMFW  (40%;  range  20-52%)  in  the  arcute  fasciculus,  a  white  matter  tract  important  in  the  control  of  language  and  short-term
memory (Figure D). These data suggest XPro is decreasing neuroinflammation in patients with Alzheimer’s disease who have biomarkers of peripheral
inflammation.

Additional data was presented on January 21, 2021. The goal of the January 21 data release was to show a correlation between the white matter
free water, a novel biomarker of inflammation with cerebral spinal fluid (“CSF”) cytokines and chemokine levels, a traditional measure neuroinflammation.
CSF  cytokine/chemokines  were  measure  in  9  patients  before  and  after  12  weeks  of  weekly  therapy  with  XPro  using  a  panel  from  OLINK  Target  48
Cytokine (https://www.olink.com/products/olink-target-48-cytokine/), that measures 45 (Figure AD1).

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In the 6 patients in the 1mg/kg per week dose, only one cytokine and chemokine, interferon gamma (INFg) did not change in the CSF of patients,
the  remainder  all  decreased  on  average  of  15%.  Using  data  from  all  patients  treated  for  12  weeks  (3  low  dose,  6  target  dose),  a  high  correlation
(R2=.7561) between the white matter free water safe mask and the inflammation composite score is shown in figure AD2. The data analyzed provides
evidence that XPro decreases neuroinflammation in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

We believe these data support the use of XPro to treat other diseases where neuroinflammation is a part of the pathophysiology of the disease.

platform
(https://www.proteomics.com/services/tmtcalibrator-workflow). A large data set of proteins were identified. Early analysis of the data focusing on 26 AD
related  proteins  demonstrated  changes  in  inflammation,  neuronal  and  synaptic  proteins  caused  by  decreasing  neuroinflammation  after  treatment  with
XPro  (Figure  AD3).  The  proteome  also  demonstrated  a  clear  dose  response  with  a  greater  number  of  proteins  being  affected  by  the  target  dose
compared to low dose XPro therapy (0.3 vs 1.0 mg/kg/week for 12 weeks) (Figure AD4). The CSF proteome data is only partially analyzed. Additional
data may result from these ongoing analytics.

The  results  of  the  Phase  I  study  demonstrates  that  XPro  safely  decreases  neuroinflammation  in  patients  with  AD  who  have  biomarkers  of
peripheral inflammation or are ApoE4 positive when given for at least 3 months at the 1mg/kg once a week dose. Decreasing neuroinflammation with
XPro  appears  to  decrease  neurodegeneration  and  improve  synaptic  function  and  promote  remyelination.  The  biologic  characteristics  suggests  XPro
therapy  in  patients  with  peripheral  biomarkers  of  inflammation  or  ApoE4  allele(s)  may  impact  cognitive  decline.  Although  there  were  anecdotes  of
improved cognitive function in patients receiving the target dose of XPro, this cannot be verified because the trial was not a blinded, randomized trial.
The impact on cognition of controlling neuroinflammation with XPro will be studied in the Phase II programs.

The Company plans two Phase II trials in patients with AD with biomarkers of inflammation. A blinded randomized trial in patients with mild AD
plans to enroll 201 patients in a 2:1 ratio (XPro:placebo) at 1mg/kg once a week. Patients will be treated for 6 months. A patient enrichment strategy will
be used to ensure patients have neuroinflammation – patients must have at least two of elevated CRP, hemoglobinA1c, ESR or have an ApoE4 allele.
The  primary  end-point  is  Early/Mild  Alzheimer’s  Cognitive  Composite  (EMACC),  a  sensitive  cognitive  end-point  validated  for  use  in  patients  with  early
AD. Secondary cognitive (ADAS-Cog13, CDR-SB and NPI) and functional (GAS, ADCS-ADL) end-points will be measured. Biomarkers of inflammation
using  white  and  gray  matter  analytics  measured  by  MRI  DTI  similar  to  those  used  in  the  Phase  I  trial  will  also  be  used.  All  patients  will  be  eligible  to
continue on XPro for at least 6 additional months. Clinical and MRI metrics will be followed during the extension trial.

The second Phase II trial will be a blinded randomized trial in patients with MCI in which the Company plans to enroll 60 patients in two arms in a
2:1 ratio (1mg/kg/week XPro, placebo). Patients will be treated for 3 months. Patients must have at least one ApoE4 allele to qualify for the trial. The
primary end-point is EMACC, a sensitive cognitive end-point validated for use in patients with early AD. Secondary clinical endpoints include the CDR-
SB, Cogstate Battery, E-Cog, NPI, and ADCS-ADL. Imaging endpoints of neuroinflammation (White matter free water), white matter integrity (apparent
fiber density, radial diffusivity), and gray matter quality (cortical disarray measurement) will be assessed via MRI. Changes in brain metabolism will be
assessed via FDG-PET. Additional secondary measures of function include EEG, and speech and language. All patients will be eligible to continue on
XPro  for  at  least  9  additional  months.  Clinical  and  MRI  metrics  will  be  followed  during  the  extension  trial.    The  Company  may  amend  the  clinical  trial
design from time-to-time to improve the quality of the data or the probability of success.

Effective therapy for TRD is a large unmet need. Twenty percent of patients with a Major Depressive Disorder have TRD. Once third of TRD
patients have peripheral biomarkers to inflammation (elevated CRP). This is a large patient population. The role of TNF and anti-TNF therapeutics was
explored  in  a  small  open  label  clinical  trial  by  Prof.  Andrew  Miller,  MD  of  Emory  University  whereby  it  was  demonstrated  that  patients  which  have
elevated TNF levels responded to treatment with infliximab (Miller, 2011).

The  Company  received  a  $2.9M  USD  award  from  the  National  Institute  of  Mental  Health  (“NIMH”)  to  treat  TRD  with  XPro.  The  blinded,
randomized Phase II trial will use a biomarkers of peripheral inflammation to select patients with TRD for enrollment. Patients will be treated for 6 weeks.
Primary end-points include both clinical and neuroimaging measures. The final trial design is ongoing and discussions with the FDA are not complete.
The Company anticipates receiving authorization to initiate the clinical trial in the second half of 2022.

INB03 and XPro are delivered as a subcutaneous injection, similar to an insulin treatment, given one to three times per week. Because this is a
simple subcutaneous injection similar to an insulin injection (the therapy patients give themselves for treatment of Type 1 diabetes mellitus), we expect
patients to administer the therapy to themselves and not require expensive or logistically challenging clinic visits to receive the therapy.

Three step process to preparation for INB03 and XPro for human clinical trials:

Release of INB03 and XPro drug supply

GMP DN-TNF product (INB03 and XPro) are available for clinical development after completion of release testing. The annual process for release testing
was completed in February 2018, January 2019, December 2019 and November 2020. The supply of DN-TNF product is limited, but allowed completion
of the Phase I study in Alzheimer’s disease and support of patients in the extension study. For future trials, new batches of XPro have been produced.
The  Company  engaged  KBI  Biopharma  to  manufacture  6  lots  of  XPro/INB03  at  the  Boulder,  Colorado  facility  using  the  original  master  cell  bank  and
updated  manufacturing  process.  Two  lots  have  been  converted  into  drug  product  using  the  US  fill/finish  facility  of  Vetter  Pharma.  Two  of  the  lots  are
frozen as drug substance at -80C with a plan to convert to drug product the second half of 2023. The final two lots are frozen as a cell paste with a plan to
process to drug substance in during 2023 or 2024 as needed to support the clinical trials. We plan to use a two-step approach to improve the yield of the
drug substance from the fermentation process. We hope to improve the yield of the drug product using the existing E.coli based system. Once the new
process is validated and functional, we will perform a manufacturing campaign drug for future clinical trials. In the future, the Company may consider a
strain  change  to  improve  yield  of  the  fermentation  step  further.  The  decision  for  strain  improvements  and  strain  change  will  be  made  in  the  future  as

Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INB03 and XPro Development

We  have  completed  a  Phase  I  trial  with  INB03  in  oncology  and  a  Phase  I  trial  with  XPro  in  patients  with  Alzheimer’s  disease.  The  Phase  II
program with Alzheimer’s disease will start first half 2022. The Phase I trial with XPro in patients with Alzheimer’s disease is performed in Australia under
the regulatory authority of the TGA using the Clinical Trials Exemption (“CTX”) scheme. Our first interaction with the regulatory body occurred in March
2018.  The  Company  received  approval  to  initiate  the  Phase  I  trial  with  INB03  in  patients  with  advanced  solid  tumors  on  May  21,  2018.  The  second
interaction  with  the  regulatory  body  occurred  in  March  2019.  The  Company  received  approval  to  initiate  the  Phase  I  trial  with  XPro  in  patients  with
Alzheimer’s disease in May 2019 and received authorization to start the Phase II trial in patients with mild AD on January 5, 2022. Our first interaction
with the FDA occurred in July 2020 as part of the Phase II Quellor program to treat respiratory failure in patients hospitalized with COVID19 infection. We
plan to complete the regulatory process for the Phase II clinical trials in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and Phase II TRD clinical trials with the FDA
during the first half of 2022.

INB03 Product Development Path: Proposed Phase II Studies in patients with cancer

Phase  I  open  label  study  in  patients  with  advance  solid  tumors  has  been  completed.  All  future  studies  cancer  will  use  INB03  as  part  of
combination therapy. Based on the results of the Phase I study and work performed and reported by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, we are planning a study of
INB03 in combination with currently approved second line therapy for treatment of tumors that express MUC4. This may include a study in women with
trastuzumab resistant HER2+ metastatic breast cancer where primary or secondary resistance to trastuzumab is common and may include women with
brain  metastasis.  Alternatively,  the  Phase  II  trial  may  include  women  with  MUC4+  TNBC  or  patients  with  MUC4+/HER2+  gastric  cancer  or  MUC4+
pancreatic cancer. These trials will not be initiated until the COVID-19 pandemic has run its course. We do not expect to treat patients in an oncology
INB03 Phase II trial with INB03 before 2023. Pre-clinical studies of INB03 in MUC4 expressing tumors continue.

INB03 Registration Studies and/or Partnering

We plan to pursue an efficient registration strategy using INB03 to improve the lives of patients with cancer and biomarkers of inflammation such
as  MUC4.  We  believe  that  this  strategy  has  use  across  many  types  of  solid  tumors  including  patients  who  have  failed  CPI,  tyrosine  kinase  inhibitors
(“TKI”)  and  anti-cancer  antibody  therapy  such  as  trastuzumab  monoclonal  antibodies  and  trastuzumab  based  antibody  drug  conjugates.  We  have  an
active partnering position as it relates to INB03 development in cancer, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. We do not expect
partnering discussions to begin until Phase II data demonstrating efficacy of INB03 as part of combination therapy for cancer are available.

Our INB03 platform can be used in cancer patients in many ways. The Phase I trial suggests the drug should not be used alone to treat cancer
but  used  in  combination  with,  but  not  limited  to,  other  cancer  therapies  including  cytotoxic  chemotherapy,  immunotherapy,  radiation  and  surgery.  We
believe that INB03 can also be used to treat many types of hematologic and epithelial cancers.

INB03 and XPro Regulatory Strategy

Drugs from the DN-TNF platform will be developed using adequately powered, well designed studies with the goal to demonstrate a meaningful
clinical benefit to patients. Beyond Phase I, these will be blinded, randomized clinical trials using validated end-points that have been authorized by a
regulatory authority – the FDA, TGA, MHRA, EMA, etc. Currently, all planned studies will be performed in North America, AUS and/or the UK. Studies
will be expanded to Europe and beyond as resources permit and development needs expand. Because there are no therapies similar to INB03 or XPro
approved  in  any  market  and  no  therapies  approved  for  the  treatment  of  the  diseases  we  are  pursuing,  we  plan  to  take  advantage  of  the  regulatory
opportunities afforded to therapies that treat markets with a high unmet need. In the U.S., this includes Orphan Drug Designation and expedited programs
for  approval  including  Accelerated  Approval,  Breakthrough  Therapy  Designation,  Fast  Track  Designation,  and  priority  review  (see  “Government
Regulation”),  and  in  the  setting  of  COVID-19,  Emergency  Use  Authorization.  We  cannot  predict  which,  if  any,  of  these  programs  we  will  benefit  from
without further discussions with the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the EMA. We will engage the EMA once we have initiated Phase II trials
in the United States and Australia.

Immunotherapy for Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease 

XPro  is  being  developed  for  the  treatment  of  Alzheimer’s  disease.  Microglial  activation  and  neuroinflammation  are  important  causes  of  the
synaptic dysfunction and nerve cell death that causes cognitive decline in patient with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. The relationship between β
amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles, the traditional targets in AD drug development and neuroinflammation is complex. We believe targeting
plaques and tangles is not an effective treatment strategy, but that targeting neuroinflammation, the common pathway leading to synaptic dysfunction and
nerve  cell  death,  may  be  an  effective  treatment  strategy.  Substantial  pre-clinical  data  supports  the  use  of  XPro  in  murine  models  of  AD.  Substantial
indirect  data  supports  use  of  XPro  in  humans  including  a  decreased  risk  of  AD  in  patients  treated  with  non-selective  TNF  inhibitors  for  rheumatoid
arthritis  and  treatment  using  direct  injection  into  paraspinous  venous  plexus.  Because  of  different  mechanism  of  action  of  XPro  compared  to  the  non-
selective TNF inhibitors, we expect a lower risk of immunosuppression and demyelinating complications such as multiple sclerosis (MS). The Company
reported preliminary data on July 13, 2020 and January 21, 2021 supporting the use of XPro to decrease neuroinflammation in patients with Alzheimer’s
disease and biomarkers of peripheral inflammation (see above).

We completed enrollment of patients into an open label, biomarker directed, Phase I clinical trial in AUS that approaches AD as an immunologic
disease. Patients with dementia with the diagnosis of AD with biomarkers of chronic inflammation that includes at least one of a hs-CRP>1.5 mg/L, a
ESR>10 mm/h, a HbgA1C>6.0% or are ApoE4 positive will be treated with XPro for 12 weeks. Three dosing cohorts were preformed – 0.3, 0.6 and 1.0
mg per week as a subcutaneous injection. Patients had multiple inflammatory biomarkers test before therapy, at 6 weeks and at 12 weeks. Biomarkers
were  reported  in  blood  and  cerebral  spinal  fluid,  MRI  measures  of  white  matter  tract  neuroinflammation,  axonal  quality  and  axon  myelin,  and  MRI
measures of gray matter quality after XPro therapy. Cognitive end-points were not the focus of the Phase 1 clinical trial because of the wide range of
disease severity enrolled and lack of a placebo group. Patients enrolled in the Phase I trial had MMSE ranging from 24 to 12. This wide range of disease
severity at the time of enrollment and the lack of a blinded concurrent control group did not allow for determination of cognitive benefit beyond several

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
anecdotal  reports.  The  first  patient  was  enrolled  in  the  low  dose  0.3mg/kg/week  cohort  in  the  last  week  of  November  2019.  The  Safety  Review
Committee  met  by  teleconference  on  January  7,  2020  to  review  the  course  of  the  patients  in  the  first  cohort  and  voted  to  open  the  second  cohort,
1.0mg/kg/week, to enrollment. The first patients were enrolled in the cohort the second week of February 2020. Based on preliminary data released on
July 13, 2020 and January 21, 2021, we closed after completion of a 0.6mg/kg treatment group. We canceled plans to treat patients with 3.0mg/kg. The
data from the Phase I trial allow the Company to choose a design the Phase II trials described above.

XPro Registration Studies and/or Partnering

We  plan  to  aggressively  pursue  an  efficient  registration  strategy  using  XPro  to  improve  the  lives  of  patients  with  ADi.  We  define  ADi  as  Alzheimer’s
disease with biomarkers of inflammation. We believe ADi is not the only indication for XPro in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. We plan
to pursue other indications in neurodegenerative diseases as resources become available. We have received NIMH funding to support a Phase II TRD
program that hopes  to  start  patient  enrollment  in  the  second  half  of  2022.  We  have  an  active  partnering  position  as  it  relates  to  XPro  development  in
neurodegenerative and neuropshyciatric diseases, although no partnering discussion are underway at this time. There are two partnering opportunities
with this novel immunotherapy for the treatment of neurologic and psychiatric diseases. The first is a traditional partnership focused on the developing
the  drug  for  all  neurodegenerative  and  neuropsychiatric  applications.  The  second  is  a  more  focused  partnership  developing  XPro  as  part  of  a
combination  therapy  for  a  company’s  existing  therapy.  After  completion  of  proof-of-concept  Phase  II  studies,  we  will  decide  what  the  most  efficient
registration strategy is available to the company with XPro. We may to have biopharma partners participate in this decision making. We may also seek to
be acquired at this stage.

INKmune: Our NK cell Directed Product Candidate

INKmune is our lead product candidate that converts the patient’s resting NK cells into cancer memory like NK cells, an essential step to allow
them to participate in the immune control the patient’s cancer. We have shown this works ex vivo in human tissue cell cultures, and we believe that this
will work in vivo which is the purpose of our planned clinical trials.

Cancers grow and relapse because they evade the immune system. In many cancers, NK cells are the most important cell for the elimination of
residual disease that causes cancer relapse. NK cells target cells based on a series of complex antigens on the cancer cell surface that signal the NK
cells to activate and kill the cancer cell. NK cells develop a memory like NK cell phenotype to enhance killing of cancer cells. This phenotype requires
multiple simultaneous signals to be delivered to the NK cells. A cocktail of three cytokines, IL12, IL15 and IL18 can be used to convert a resting NK cell to
cytokine  induced  memory  like  NK  cells  (CIML)  [Fehneger  2016  ]  or  by  INKmune  priming  with  INB16  (TpNK  –  tumor  primed  NK  cells).  Although  the
intracellular biology if these two strategies has yet to be worked out, they do not appear to be identical. In summary, INKmune converts resting NK cells
in to tumor killing memory like NK cells. (Figure 1 below).

14

The ability of NK cells to kill tumor cells depends on the strength and duration of the cell-cell interaction. This is call avidity. The higher the avidity
the  greater  the  tumor  cell  killing.  Cytokine  stimulation  may  increase  avidity  of  NK  binding  to  some  cancer  cells  whereas,  in  all  experiments  to  date,
INKmune priming enhances NK binding to all cancer cells tested. The relative increase in avidity to specific cancer cells is cytokine specific; as shown
below, IL15 increases NK avidity for the ovarian cancer line SKOV-3 whereas IL2 has a limited effect. IL15 primed NK cells lyse SKOV-3 cells whereas
IL2 primed NK do not. INKmune primed NK (TpNK) showed the highest avidity for the tumor cells and the highest level of cytotoxicity. It is likely that the
use  of  multiple  cytokines  will  achieve  the  same  level  of  avidity  and  cytotoxicity  as  INKmune  but  studies  with  multiple  cytokines  have  not  yet  been
performed (Figure below).

We have demonstrated TpNK killing of many tumor types in laboratory studies. Tumor priming is effective regardless of the source of the NK
cells (normal volunteers or patients with cancer) and in many types of tumors – both cell lines and primary tumors from patients. The principle of TpNK
killing has also been demonstrated in two Phase I trials in patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (“AML”). These trials were not supported by us and
used  a  first-generation  personalized  cell  therapy  product  and  treatment  strategy  that  is  different  from  the  INKmune  product  and  treatment  strategy.  In
these trials, haplo-identical NK cells obtained from a first degree relative by leukapheresis were primed ex-vivo using a lysate of the parent cell line from
which we derived INB16 - INKmune. Once the TpNK therapy has been produced and passed quality testing, the patient received conditioning therapy
with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine), the primed haplo-identical NK cells were given to patients by intravenous infusion. Two Phase I
clinical trials have been performed using that first-generation adoptive cell therapy treatment strategy. An investigator initiated trial performed at the Royal
Free Hospital in London 2009 was funded by a UK charity. Fifteen patients with relapsed, high-risk AML were enrolled in the trial. Because of drop-out
due to disease progression, delays in product production and complications of conditioning therapy, only 7 of the fifteen patients were treated with the
TpNK cell product. Four of seven patients showed clear benefit from the treatment with the TpNK product with prolonged relapse free remission and, in
one patient, conversion of a partial remission to full remission. None of the remissions were durable; all patients ultimately died from disease progression.
The safety of the product was found to be a combination of toxicity from the chemotherapy/radiotherapy conditioning regimen and the TpNK therapy. In
general, the complications were well tolerated although did require medical intervention including prolonged periods of aplasia in two heavily pretreated
patients that resolved with supportive care. The results of this study have been published in a medical journal (PLoS One. 2015 Jun 10;10(6):e0123416.
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0123416. eCollection 2015). In 2013, a second open label, multi-center trial was performed in the US using the same product
and procedures but targeting a slightly different patient population. In the second trial, 12 patients in first remission with AML were treated with the haplo-
identical TpNK product produced using  the  first  generation  ex-vivo  priming  process.  After  conditioning  with  chemotherapy  alone,  the  patients  received
TpNK  in  three  dosing  cohorts  –  3x10^5,  1x10^6  or  3x10^6  TpNK  per  kilogram.  Patients  were  followed  for  safety  and  relapse  free  survival.  This  trial
confirmed  the  safety  of  the  TpNK  treatment  in  patients  with  AML  and  reinforced  many  of  the  efficacy  findings  seen  in  the  first  trial  with  none  of  the
previously experienced side effects. Patients benefited from haplo-identical TpNK therapy with prolonged relapse free survival including two patients that
remain  in  remission  more  than  42  months  after  treatment.  This  trial  has  been  published.  (Biol  Blood  Marrow  Transplant.  2018  Mar  26.  pii:  S1083-
8791(18)30132-0.  doi:  10.1016/j.bbmt.2018.03.019.)  The  results  of  the  laboratory  and  Phase  I  studies  provide  evidence  that  our  strategy  for  treating
residual disease is sensible but unproven.

Because INKmune primes NK cells to target naturally occurring antigens, we believe INKmune can be used in to treat a wide variety of cancers
including hematologic malignancy (AML, MM, CML, high risk MDS) and solid tumors (renal, prostate, breast, ovarian, pancreas and lung). We expect the
list of INKmune sensitive tumors to continue to expand.

The primary role for INKmune will be an immunotherapy targeting residual disease in patients after debulking cancer therapies such as cytotoxic
chemotherapy  and  surgery.  At  this  time,  we  plan  to  give  INKmune  as  monotherapy.  We  do  not  rule  out  the  possibility  of  using  INKmune  as  part  of
combination therapy in the future. We do not expect to need to modify INKmune to treat these additional types of cancer, because we believe INKmune is
a universal cancer therapy where “one size fits all”. We believe for INKmune to receive regulatory approval for each cancer indication, clinical trials will
need to be performed which demonstrate its safety and effectiveness as a treatment for each such cancer. We believe the difficulty and cost of achieving
these labels extensions will decline with each successive approval, if and when achieved. For example, if INKmune is proven to be effective therapy in
patients with ovarian cancer and high-risk MDS, we will need to perform separate pivotal trials for approval in lung, prostate or renal cancer.

Three step process to preparation for INKmune human clinical trials:

INKmune GMP scale-up for Phase I/II clinical material

The working cell banks and individual INKmune product to be used in the patients for the clinical trial have been produced at the Centre for Cell,

  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Gene & Tissue Therapeutics at Royal Free Hospital / University College London to full cGMP (MHRA MIA(IMP)11149). All manufacturing has been under
the  direction  of  Professor  Mark  Lowdell.  The  Company  can  produce  enough  INKmune  to  complete  both  Phase  I  clinical  trials  in  women  with  ovarian
cancer and in patients with high-risk MDS. We have validated storage of INKmune for up over 3 years in vapor phase nitrogen and have a fully scalable,
closed system manufacturing process in validation which can produce up to 6 patient doses per week during phase I and II trials. At intermediate scale
we can manufacture 40 doses per week in a single 80 liter bioreactor. Importantly, we have validated the storage of INKmune at -80 oC for up to 27 days
which greatly facilitates the delivery and local storage of the drug for clinical trials and post commercialization use. In contrast, as far as we know all other
NK cell therapies and T cell therapies require complex shipping of drug products in vapor phase nitrogen below -150oC and specialized arrangements for
ongoing storage at the clinical sites. We may need additional INKmune for future clinical trials.

INKmune Biomarker Development Program

We  have  discovered  two  biomarker  strategies  that  we  believe  can  be  used  to  demonstrate:  i)  who  should  receive  INKmune  therapy;  ii)  if  the
INKmune therapy is working; and iii) when INKmune therapy should be repeated. For the initial Phase I/II trials in patients with ovarian cancer and high-
risk  MDS,  we  expect  the  biomarker  testing  will  be  performed  in  a  single  laboratory  under  our  direction.  We  may  develop  training  programs  for  our
standard operating procedures to ensure uniform testing of the biomarkers to facilitate expansion of the clinical programs to multiple sites. We anticipate
that, in the future, the biomarker program may be a surrogate marker for both clinical effectiveness and marketing purposes.

Interaction with Regulatory Authorities Regarding INKmune Development

The  INKmune  Phase  I  studies  in  high-risk  MDS  and  ovarian  cancer  will  be  performed  in  the  UK  and  US.  We  met  with  the  Medicines  and
Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”), the UK version of the FDA as part of a Scientific Advice Meetings in preparation for submitting the
CTA  for  our  first  planned  program.  The  purpose  of  the  meeting  was  to  explain  to  the  MHRA  our  manufacturing  process  and  clinical  plan  for  the
development of INKmune in a Phase I relapse/refractory ovarian cancer. We plan to expand the MDS program beyond the UK. This may include sites in
the EU and the US. We will need to work with the relevant regulatory authorities as we make those expansions. We will seek regulatory approval to start
the ovarian cancer program in the US after the first cohort of patients have been treated in the UK.

INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with ovarian cancer

Pending  the  resolution  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  in  2022,  we  plan  to  initiate  an  open  label  Phase  I  cancer  study  in  patients  with  ovarian
carcinoma.  Patients  will  be  enrolled  who  have  a  low  burden  of  relapse  refractory  disease  and  have  peripheral  blood  or  ascites  NK  cells  which  can
respond to INKmune in a laboratory test on NK function. The study design agreed upon after discussion with the MHRA on September 12, 2017 was for
a two-step Phase I/II study but this has been modified to an classic Phase I study followed by a randomized phase II. At present we anticipate the Phase I
to be performed under the modified CTA at a single UK site, Sheffield University Hospital. We expect to initiate trial by the third quarter of 2022. In the
Phase  I  trial,  women  with  relapse  refractory  ovarian  cancer  will  be  treated  with  INKmune,  given  as  an  intravenous  infusion  in  a  traditional  open  label
study to demonstrate safety and determine the dose of INKmune to be carried into the larger Phase II portion of the study. Based on pre-clinical studies
that indicate that women with relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer have NK cells in their peritoneal cavity that response to INKmune to kill SKOV3, an NK-
resistant  ovarian  cell  line,  we  believe  intravenous  delivery  of  INKmune  will  be  therapeutically  effective  in  treating  intra-peritoneal  disease.  The  key
secondary efficacy end-points to be studied are i) increased NK cell priming as determined by multicolor flow cytometry of NK cells from the patient; ii)
increased NK cell killing of SKOV3 tumor in a bioassay as shown in Figure 2 below; and iii) a decrease in tumor burden as measured by CA125 levels in
the blood. Once safety and the optimal INKmune dose have been determined, a randomized study of women treated with INKmune will be compared to a
group of control patients who receive only standard of care. We expect to treat six patients in the Phase I portion of the trial, but this number can increase
by as many as 18.

17

INKmune Product Development Path Proposed Phase I Study in patients with high-risk MDS

During 2021, we initiated an open label Phase I cancer study in patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (“MDS”). Patients are being
enrolled who have a low burden of disease after completion of conventional therapy. At present we anticipate the Phase I to be performed at two sites UK
site  and  will  expand  into  additional  sites  in  EU  and/or  US  during  2022.  The  first  patients  was  enrolled  in  the  first  quarter  of  2021.  In  the  Phase  I  trial,
patients  with  detectable  residual  disease  in  bone  marrow  and/or  peripheral  blood  (<15%  blasts  by  conventional  tests)  will  be  treated  with  intravenous
infusions of INKmune and monitored for changes in peripheral blood NK activation, NK function and changes in residual blast counts in blood and bone
marrow.  We  and  others  have  previously  shown  that  MDS  patients  with  inadequate  NK  function  have  statistically  significantly  poorer  prognosis  than
matched patients with normal levels of NK function (Tsirogianni et al 2019) and we have shown in laboratory experiments that the functional activity of NK
cells from MDS patients can be enhanced by exposure to INKmune. Moreover, INKmune-primed NK cells are not inhibited by the hypoxic conditions of
the diseased bone marrow microenvironment.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The first patient was treated in the second quarter of 2021. The patient is now more than 6 months out from therapy with INKmune. The patient,
part of the first cohort, received 1x10^8 INKmune cells on day 1,8 and 15 as an in-patient. The patient did not require any type of conditioning therapy or
cytokine support. The patient tolerated the three infusions without any problems. The patient underwent intensive monitoring over 120 days. There are 4
observations from this first patient. The patient has dramatically increased the number of activated, “memory-like” NK cells in circulation. Memory-like NK
cells (mlNK) are activated NK cells with a unique cell surface protein phenotype and which show enhanced lysis of tumor cell in vitro. Post treatment with
INKmune,  elevated  levels  of  mlNK  cells  were  present  in  the  patients  in  the  peripheral  blood  for  more  than  119  days  when  trial  follow-up  ceased.  The
patient mlNK actively kill NK resistant cancer targets in vitro. Finally, the patient has had a significant clinical improvement with a reduction of his ECOG
score from 2 to 0 and a significant reduction in blood product support.

Two  compassionate  use  cases  have  also  been  treated.  Both  were  young  patients  with  AML  who  had  failed  previous  hematopoietic  stem  cell
transplants  (HSCT).  The  first  compassionate-treatment  patient  showed  such  improved  neutrophil  and  platelet  counts  that  she  was  discharged  from
hospital  for  the  first  time  in  six  months.  She  remains  well  and  at  home  three  months  under  the  care  of  her  clinical  team.  The  second  patient  treated
compassionately had failed two high risk HSCT and entered the course of INKmune therapy with high percentage of blasts in his bone marrow. His blood
NK cells responded in differentiation into mlNK as hoped but it is too early to determine if INKmune has provide any clinical benefit.

18

Because both INKmune programs are being run in the UK, delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic continues to delay enrolment into the MDS

clinical trial and is delaying site initiation for the ovarian cancer trial.

INKmune Registration Studies and/or Partnering

After completion of proof-of-concept Phase II studies with INKmune, we will decide whether to continue to develop INKmune as a treatment for
ovarian carcinoma indication and/or high risk MDS. Other solid cancers are of interest including nasopharyngeal cancer (“NPC”) which is a known target
for  NK  cells  and  an  important  unmet  clinical  need  in  emerging  markets  such  as  mainland  China.  Renal  cell  carcinoma  is  also  a  known  target  for
INKmune.  We  expect  to  have  biopharma  partners  participate  in  this  decision.  We  may  also  seek  to  be  acquired  at  this  stage  or  partner  INKmune.
Although our development strategy is focused on North America and Europe, we believe INKmune will also be attractive for markets on the Pacific Rim,
South Asia and South America, but will wait for partners to help with the development in those regions, however, at this time, we are not negotiating with
any potential partners.

Importantly, we have published data demonstrating INKmune efficacy at priming allogeneic NK cells ex-vivo (described above) and this includes
priming  of  NK  cells  differentiated  from  cord-blood  derived  hematopoietic  stem  cells  (Domogala  et  al Cytotherapy 2017:  19:710-720).  Numerous
companies are developing therapeutic strategies using cord blood derived NK cell products and one or more may wish to partner with us to potentiate
their product by co-incubation or co-administration with INKmune. We are also aware of companies developing cytokine primed NK cells (CIML) for the
treatment  of  cancer.  We  believe  tumor  primed  NK  cells  are  superior  to  ex  vivo  or  in  vivo  cytokine  strategies.  Data  to  support  this  belief  should  be
presented in 2022.

19

INKmune Regulatory Strategy

INKmune is a new therapy for the treatment of cancer that will need to be proven safe and effective by well-designed clinical trials that show a
meaningful clinical benefit to patients. We believe that registration trials will need to be designed as randomized trials in patients with cancer where one
group of patients received INKmune and another receive best available care. We received advice from the MHRA on September 12, 2017 on the design
the  Phase  I  clinical  trial  for  ovarian  cancer.  And  have  used  that  advice  to  plan  both  current  phase  I  trials.  We  plan  to  initiate  the  Phase  I  trials  with
INKmune in the United Kingdom under two clinical trials authorizations (“CTA”) – one for each indication. Both trials will be expanded to sites in the US
after opening of an IND. We expect those IND’s to be open by the end of 2022. If either phase I elicits “positive” data we plan to open one or more Phase
II programs to additional sites in the United Kingdom, EU and/or US. For each regulatory jurisdiction outside of the UK, the competent regulatory authority
will need to be engaged. In the US, that is the FDA. In the EU, it will be the country specific regulatory authority. These follow-on regulatory submissions
will  include  data  from  the  patients  treated  in  the  UK  in  the  clinical  trials  or  as  part  of  compassionate  use.  Because  there  are  no  therapies  similar  to

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
INKmune approved in any market, we plan to take advantage of the regulatory opportunities afforded to therapies that treat small markets with a high
unmet  need.  In  the  U.S.,  this  includes  Orphan  Drug  Designation  and  expedited  programs  for  approval  including  Accelerated  Approval,  Breakthrough
Therapy  Designation,  Fast  Track  Designation,  and  priority  review  (see  “Government  Regulation”).  We  cannot  predict  which  of  these  programs  we  will
benefit from, if any at all, without further discussions with the FDA. Similar programs exist in the EU with the European Medicines Agencies (“EMA”) and
in the UK with the MHRA.

Emerging Market Opportunity

The  cancer  therapy  market  is  large,  diverse  and  competitive.  Although  the  concept  of  immunotherapy  with  monoclonal  antibodies  has  been
around  for  more  than  20  years,  the  concept  that  patient  derived  immunosuppressive  factors  was  a  barrier  to  effective  cancer  treatment  was  recently
recognized and had its first therapy approved just four years ago (ipilimumab, Yervoy, BMS, March 2011). Since then, more than five additional “check
point” inhibitors have been approved, but the market is in its infancy. Most of the focus on strategies for modulating tumor-based immunosuppression
focus  is  on  the  adaptive  immune  system  (“T-cells”).  The  role  of,  and  the  importance  of  manipulating  the  innate  immune  system  has  more  recently
become a target of therapeutic development. NK cells are part of the innate immune system and are critical in both tumor surveillance (prevention) and
treatment (killing). MDSCs and Tumor Associated Macrophages (TAM) are part of the innate immune system that only appear in the TME of patients with
cancer. The main role of the MDSC and TAM is to protect the tumor from attack by the patient’s immune system. Because T-cell focused strategies do
not have an effect on the innate immune system, patient’s receiving such treatments may fail to recruit half of the patient’s immune system, the innate
immune system, to attack the patient’s cancer. Clinicians increasingly recognize that durable responses to cancer require a coordinated attack by the
patient’s  adaptive  and  innate  immune  system.  Normalizing  the  response  of  the  innate  immune  system  requires  eliminating  the  dysregulated  innate
immune  response  that  decreases  the  patient’s  ability  to  see  and  attack  the  cancer  as  well  as  mechanisms  the  protect  the  cancer  from  immunologic
attack  (effector  and  protector  function  respectively).  INKmune  primes  NK  cells  to  enable  them  to  attack  the  tumor.  INB03,  by  decreasing  the
immunosuppressive function of MDSC and TAM, will lessen the immunosuppressive shield that protects the tumor from immunologic attack and, through
NK/DC  crosstalk,  recruit  the  adaptive  immune  system  to  the  fight  and  potentially  increase  local  innate  anti-tumor  effects  such  as  improved  NK  cell
function and anti-tumor macrophage phagocytic activity.

Challenges in the Market for Our Product Candidates

The market for new oncology therapies is busy, complicated, and rapidly evolving. We will be competing with companies that are older, larger,
better  financed  and  have  greater  experience.  There  are  two  types  of  drug  companies  –  development  companies  and  commercial  companies.
Development companies take the risk of developing new products to proof-of-concept. Once proof-of-concept has been achieved, if the drug provides
clinical benefit, the product is usually acquired by a commercial company, which completes the drug’s clinical development and markets the product. We
are a development company which will seek to develop products such as INKmune from the bench to the bedside to demonstrate proof-of-concept. The
goal for us is to successfully develop such products to the point where they are attractive targets for potential partners/acquirers.

20

According to a recent Markets and Markets report, the immunotherapy market is growing rapidly at an annual rate of over 13%. Recently, the
market is biased towards T cell-based immunotherapies including bi-specific antibody therapies, checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell-based therapies.
There  are  substantial  numbers  of  clinical  trials  that  are  focused  on  the  adaptive  immune  system  versus  clinical  trials  that  are  focused  on  the  innate
immune system for the treatment of cancer. Our challenge will be to educate partners on the value of NK cell-based therapeutic strategies. The need to
educate people of the importance of INB03 is equally challenging. At the academic and investor level, there is little recognition of the role MUC4 plays in
causing resistance to immunotherapy. The concept of adding a drug to modify the immunosuppressive environment of the TME to allow immunotherapy
to be effective is also new. We will be responsible for educating them on the importance of MUC4 expression, TAM, MDSC and why INB03 may be an
important addition to the oncologist’s armamentarium. We believe educating investors and partners about new therapeutic opportunities is an easier task
than  trying  to  differentiate  our  company  from  the  many  other  cancer  immunotherapy  companies.  We  plan  to  use  a  combination  of  publication,
presentation and investor relations to promote INKmune and INB03 and to educate the clinical, biopharma and investor community on the value of these
novel therapeutic approaches.

DN-TNF Competition

To  our  knowledge,  there  are  no  other  innate  immune  system  check-point  inhibitors  in  development  that  combine  the  characteristics  of
neutralizing  soluble  TNF,  decreasing  the  population  and  function  of  MDSC  while  promoting  NK/DC  crosstalk  that  expands,  decreases  expression  of
MUC4  and  recruits  the  adaptive  immune  response  to  attack  the  patient’s  tumor.  Lilly  is  developing  LY3022855,  a  human  IgG1  monoclonal  antibody
designed to target the CSF1R that should inhibit MDSC from receiving CSF1 signals, decreasing their survival and relieving the effect of MDSC in the
tumor. Daiichi Sankyo Inc., in collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb, is testing DS-8273a, a TRIAL-R2 agonistic antibody in combination with a PDL1
inhibitor to decrease the number of MDSC in patients with colorectal cancer. Rgenix Inc., is developing RGX-104, an orally bioavailable small molecule
immunotherapy that targets LXR (liver X Receptor). RGX-104 reportedly depletes MDSC. Syntrix Biosystems is developing SX-682. SX-682 is a small-
molecule dual-inhibitor of CXCR1 and CXCR2, the chemokine receptors pivotal to tumor metastasis, therapy-resistance, and myeloid cell suppression of
cancer  surveillance  by  the  adaptive  immune  system.  By  blocking  the  CXCR1/2  pathway,  SX-682  may  prevent  recruitment  of  MDSC  to  the  tumor
microenvironment.  The  University  of  Minnesota  has  a  trivalent  antibody  program  aimed  at  treating  patients  with  advanced  hematologic  malignancies.
This  CD16/IL-15/CD33  (161533)  Tri-Specific  Killer  Engagers  (TriKes)  product  may  target  CD33+  MDSC.  Siamab  Therapeutics  is  developing  an  anti-
sialyl-Tn  monoclonal  antibody  that  targets  MDSC  in  some  tumor  types.  Clathera  Biosciences,  in  collaboration  with  Incyte,  a  US  based  biotech,  is
developing CB-1158 (INCB01158), an arginase inhibitor to decreases MDSC. A Phase II clinical trial is open that combines CB-1158 with nivolumab, an
anti-PD1  CPI  marketed  by  Bristol  Myers  Squib.  Reata  Pharmaceuticals  is  testing  omaveloxolone  (RTA  408)  in  the  phase  Ib/II  REVEAL  trial  in
combination with either ipilimumab (Yervoy) or nivolumab (Opdivo) in patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Currently approved
non-selective TNF inhibitors, infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab and others, are not considered direct competitors of INB03 in the treatment of cancer
because  of  their  mechanism  of  action  and  safety  side  effects.  Non-  selective  TNF  inhibitors  block  the  function  of  both  sTNF  and  tmTNF.  Blockade  of
tmTNF  is  immunosuppressive  increasing  the  risk  of  infection  and  cancer  in  patients.  This  is  shown  in  Figure  3  below  where  maintaining  function  to
tmTNF by genetic or pharmacologic means results in an immunocompetent animal that can protect itself against infection. Blockade or knock-out of both
sTNF and tmTNF results in death from infection.

INKmune Competition

Our  industry  is  highly  competitive  and  subject  to  rapid  and  significant  technological  change.  Our  potential  competitors  include  large
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, academic institutions, government agencies and
research  institutions.  We  believe  that  key  competitive  factors  that  will  affect  the  development  and  commercial  success  of  our  product  candidates  are
efficacy,  safety,  tolerability,  reliability,  price,  and  reimbursement  level.  Many  of  our  potential  competitors,  including  many  of  the  organizations  named
below,  have  substantially  greater  financial,  technical,  and  human  resources  than  we  do  and  significantly  greater  experience  in  the  discovery  and
development of product candidates, obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of products and the commercialization of those products. Accordingly,
our  competitors  may  be  more  successful  than  us  in  obtaining  FDA  approval  for  and  achieving  widespread  market  acceptance  of  their  drugs.  Our
competitors’  drugs  may  be  more  effective,  or  more  effectively  marketed  and  sold,  than  any  drug  we  may  commercialize  and  may  render  our  product
candidates  obsolete  or  non-competitive  before  we  can  recover  the  expenses  of  developing  and  commercializing  any  of  our  product  candidates.  We
anticipate that we will face intense and increasing competition as new drugs enter the market and advanced technologies become available. Further, the
development of new treatment methods for the conditions we are targeting could render our drugs non-competitive or obsolete.

INKmune  is  an  immunotherapy  that  harnesses  the  biology  of  NK  cells  for  the  treatment  of  cancer.  There  is  a  long  list  of  immunotherapy
strategies  for  the  treatment  of  cancer  and  the  immunotherapy  for  cancer  market  is  growing  rapidly.  There  are  at  least  three  ways  to  classify
immunotherapy for cancer. The list below classifies immunotherapy strategies beginning with those that are most closely related to INKmune:

1. Companies in the NK cell therapy business;

2. Companies in the personalized immune-oncology business; and

3. Companies in the precision immuno-oncology business.

22

We are not aware of any approved treatments that are classified as NK cell therapies. We are aware of public companies in the NK cell therapy
business such as Century Therapeutics, Immunity Bio, Nkarta, Fate Therapeutics, Glycostem and others. These companies are developing products that
involve replacing or supplementing NK cells of the patient for the treatment cancer. Their product requires extensive ex-vivo cell manipulations which,
with  respect  to  Century  Therapeutics  and  Fate  Therapeutics,  may  include  gene  therapy.  The  next  larger  group  of  companies  are  in  the  personalized
immuno-oncology  business  with  products  focused  on  T  cell  activation  strategies.  The  most  popular  are  the  CAR-T  cell  therapies  which  are  a  patient
specific ex-vivo gene therapy approach to a single disease (for example: pediatric ALL). CAR-T therapy has become wildly popular of late and includes
many  private  companies,  newer  public  companies  such  as  Bluebird,  Juno  Therapeutics  and  Mustang  Bio  as  well  as  established  companies  such  as
Novartis  and  Gilead.  For  many  of  the  companies,  CAR-T  cell  therapies  is  their  only  business.  For  the  latter  two,  CAR-T  cell  therapies  is  a  newly  in-
licensed  program  with  marketing  authorization  in  the  US.  Finally,  the  precision  immune-oncology  category  also  includes  companies  with  anti-cancer
antibody  products  and  the  newer  “check-point”  inhibitors.  Antibody  therapies  are  all  about  “illuminating”  the  cancer  to  the  innate  immune  system  (NK
cells). Monoclonal antibodies were the original immunotherapy that drove the growth of well-known biopharma companies including Genentech/Roche,
Amgen, Merck and others. Each of these products is disease specific (ie: treat only HER2+ breast cancer). Modern therapeutic antibodies are much more
complicated bi-specific and tri-specific antibodies that attempt to connect the cancer with activated T-cells of the adaptive immune system. Check-point
inhibitors  are  currently  the  most  rapidly  expanding  product  category  in  immuno-oncology.  These  CTLA-4  (ipilimumab)  and  PD-1  inhibitors
(pembrolizumab and nivolumab) specifically block a mechanism that shields cancers from T-cell killing. The two companies in this business are Merck
(pembrolizumab) and GSK (ipilimumab and nivolumab). There are many others trying to join this promising therapeutic area including large companies
such as BMS and Roche.

There  are  several  FDA  approved  drugs  that  improve  the  ability  of  the  innate  immune  system  (NK-cells)  to  treat  cancer  including  mono-clonal
antibody  therapies  (for  example:  Rituximab®;  Avastin®  and  Herceptin®  marketed  by  Roche/Genentech);  and  “check-point”  inhibitors  (Yervoy®  and
Opdivo®,  BMS,  Keytruda®,  Merck  and  others).  There  is  a  large  amount  of  development  activity  in  the  immune  checkpoint  inhibitor  field  from  both
pharmaceutical giants including AstraZeneca, Merck & Co, Pfizer, Merck KGaA, Roche, GSK, Novartis and Amgen and many start-ups, small companies

both  private  and  public  companies  (Amgen,  Xencor,  F-Star,  Merus  and  many  others).  Finally,  two  CAR-T  cell  therapies  were  just  approved  for  the
treatment of ALL – Kymriah™ (Novartis) and Yescarta™ (Gilead). We expect additional drugs to gain marketing authorization in the immune-oncology
space.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To  our  knowledge,  there  are  no  innate  immune  check-point  inhibitors  in  development  that  have  the  unique  characteristics  of  INB03  that
neutralize  sTNF  to:  i)  decreases  the  proliferation  of  MDSC;  ii)  decreasing  local  and  systemic  immunosuppression  caused  by  MDSC  by  stopping
production of immunosuppressive cytokines and; iii) improving NK/DC cross-talk to recruit the adaptive immune system to fight the cancer.

Intellectual Property

We seek to protect our therapeutic programs by continuously developing patent properties covering novel compositions, formulations, purpose-
limited compositions, combination treatments, methods of medical treatment, and other inventions, whether created internally or in-licensed, in the United
States Patent & Trademark Office (the “USPTO”), the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”),
and in patent offices for various foreign jurisdictions. While each invention is unique and territories for protection are decided on a case-by-case basis, we
generally pursue patents in Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States, and sometimes in Brazil, China and/or Korea. We currently have in
our portfolio eleven (11) issued patents and forty-seven (47) pending patent applications, including both company-owned and in-licensed properties. The
following sections and corresponding tables summarize, for each of our current therapeutic programs, our pending and granted patent positions, to the
extent publicly available, as of the time of preparing this document:

DN-TNF Platform Technology (Oncology, Central Nervous System Disorders, Acute and Chronic Peripheral Diseases)

The  DN-TNF  Platform  Technology  covers  a  variety  of  dominant  negative  tumor  necrosis  factor  (“DN-TNF”)  variant  proteins,  including  the
pegylated DN-TNF protein variants known as XPro, INB03, LIVNate. These DN-TNF protein variants can be considered a platform technology for treating
the underlying immune dysfunction associated with many disease manifestations. Unlike approved anti-TNF therapeutics, DNTNF selectively targets and
neutralizes  soluble  TNF,  and  is  therefore  not  immunosuppressive.  Additionally,  XPro  has  been  shown  to  cross  the  blood  brain  barrier  after  peripheral
administration,  making  it  attractive  for  use  in  treating  CNS  disorders.  The  following  table  summarizes  current  IP  covering  our  DN-TNF  Platform

INKmune is a replication-incompetent derivative of our proprietary INB-16 cell line. One commercial application of INKmune includes use as a
therapeutic  composition  designed  to  enhance  the  ability  of  a  patient’s  own  NK  cells  to  seek,  recognize  and  eliminate  cancer.  Another  commercial
application of INKmune includes use as a cytokine-like (“pseudokine”) agent for enhancing NK cell killing specificity, potency, and efficacy of NK cell -
based  therapeutics.  INKmune,  as  a  therapeutic,  is  intended  for  provision  as  an  I.V.  -infused  product  containing  replication-incompetent  bio  substrate
units,  each  of  which  is  adapted  to  present  an  aggregate  of  protein  ligands  and/or  receptors  to  a  patient’s  own  NK  cells, in vivo.  Upon  contacting  the
patient’s  NK  cells,  INKmune  converts  resting  NK  cells  into  what  we  call  “primed”  NK  cells  (“pNKs”).  Data  suggests  that  pNKs  demonstrate  enhanced
killing of tumor cells, thus INKmune may indirectly improve a patient’s own immune response to cancer. As a pseudokine agent, INKmune can be used to
contact the NK cells of an NK cell therapeutic product in vitro, e.g., during manufacturing, for enhancing characteristics of the NK cell therapeutic and
rendering an improved product. The following table summarizes current IP covering INB-16 / INKmune:

General IP Disclosures 

Our commercial success depends in part on obtaining and maintaining patent and trade secret protections, where applicable, of our current and

future product candidates and the methods used to manufacture them, as well as successfully defending our patents against third-party challenges.

Our  ability  to  stop  third  parties  from  making,  using,  selling,  offering  to  sell  or  importing  our  products  depends  on  the  extent  to  which  we  have
rights under valid and enforceable patents or trade secrets that cover these activities, and whether we are able to enforce such rights. We cannot assure
you that our pending patent applications will result in issued patents, or that any or all rights will be enforceable in every jurisdiction whether or not patent
rights are sought.

International PCT patent applications cover all 152 nations which are signatories of the PCT. However, our global IP strategy generally targets
Australia, Canada, Europe, Japan, and the United States, and sometimes Brazil, China and/or Korea, as targets for extending patent protection under
the PCT. Decisions regarding which countries to extend patent coverage under the PCT is taken on a case-by-case basis, subject to normal business
considerations  such  as  value  and  return  on  investment.  Given  the  markets  for  products  we  are  developing,  we  consider  the  foregoing  jurisdictions  to
amount to “global” coverage as used herein as it relates to IP.

The above disclosures related to patents and patent applications are subject to change based on strategic patent portfolio building decisions,
which may include refiling and reissue, certain abandonments, including those in favor of continuing patent applications, maturations from provisional to
non-provisional filings, and other regular patent prosecution activities.

IP License Agreements

Immune Ventures, LLC License Agreement

On October 29, 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement (the “INKmune License Agreement”) with Immune Ventures,
LLC  (“Immune  Ventures”).  Pursuant  to  the  INKmune  License  Agreement,  we  were  granted  an  exclusive  worldwide,  sub-licensable,  royalty-bearing
license  to  commercialize  INKmune  (the  “INKmune  License”).  In  consideration  for  the  INKmune  License,  we  are  obligated  to  pay  Immune  Ventures
certain milestone and royalty payments.

25

The term of the Immune Ventures Agreement began on October 29, 2015 and, if not terminated sooner pursuant to the agreement, ends on a
country-by-country basis on the date of the expiration of the last to expire patent rights where patent rights exists. Subject to granting, prosecution-related
patent term adjustments, and requirements for maintenance and renewals, the latest to expire patent is scheduled to expire on March 15, 2038 (“Natural
Expiration”).  Upon  Natural  Expiration  of  the  Immune  Ventures  Agreement,  we  shall  have  a  fully  paid  up,  perpetual,  royalty-free  license  without  further
obligation to Immune Ventures. The Immune Ventures Agreement can be terminated by Immune Ventures if, after 60 days from our receipt of notice that
we have not made a payment under the Immune Ventures Agreement we still do not make this payment. On July 18, 2018, the parties amended the
agreement  under  which  the  Company  was  required  to  achieve  milestones  pursuant  to  the  agreement.  On  October  30,  2020,  the  parties  executed  an
additional amendment to the agreement under which the Company is required to achieve the following milestones:

Initiation of Phase II clinical trials or equivalent by October 29, 2023;
Initiation of Phase III clinical trials or equivalent by October 29, 2025; and
Filing of NDA or equivalent by October 29, 2026 or equivalent.

If  we  don’t  achieve  the  above  milestones,  we  are  required  to  negotiate  in  good  faith  with  Immune  Ventures  to  determine  how  we  can  either
remedy the failure or achieve an alternate development. If we fail to make any required efforts or if the efforts do not remedy the situation within 60 days
of written notice by Immune Ventures then Immune Ventures may provide notice to terminate the license or convert it to a non-exclusive license.

University of Pittsburg License Agreement

On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement with Immune Ventures related to intellectual property
licensed  from  the  University  of  Pittsburgh.  Pursuant  to  the  Assignment  and  Assumption  Agreement  (the  “Assignment  Agreement”),  Immune  Ventures
assigned all of its rights, obligations and liabilities under an Exclusive License Agreement between the University of Pittsburgh – Of the Commonwealth
System of Higher Education (“Licensor”) and Immune Ventures to INmune Bio (“Licensee”), (the “PITT Agreement”).

As  consideration  under  the  PITT  Agreement,  we  are  obligated  to  pay:  (i)  annual  maintenance  fees,  (ii)  royalty  payments  based  on  the  sale  of

products making use of the licensed technology, and (iii) milestone payments.

In 2021, the company paid $5,000 according to the PITT Agreement as an annual maintenance fee.

The  PITT  Agreement  expires  upon  the  earlier  of:  (i)  expiration  of  the  last  claim  of  the  Patent  Rights  forming  the  subject  matter  of  the  PITT

Agreement; or (ii) the date that is 20 years from the effective date of the agreement (June 26, 2037).

The  Company  may  terminate  the  PITT  Agreement  upon  3  months  prior  written  notice  provided  all  payments  under  the  license  are  current.
Licensor may terminate the PITT Agreement upon written notice if: (i) the Company defaults as to performance of material obligations which have not
been cured within 60 days after receiving written notice; or (ii) the Company ceases to carry out its business, becomes bankrupt or insolvent, applies for
or consents to the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of its assets or seeks relief under any law for the aid of debtors.

Xencor License Agreement

On  October  3,  2017,  the  Company  entered  into  a  license  agreement  with  Xencor,  Inc.  (“Xencor”),  which  has  discovered  and  developed  a
proprietary  biological  molecule  that  inhibits  soluble  tumor  necrosis  factor  (the  “Xencor  Agreement”).  During  June  2021,  the  Company  entered  into  the
First Amendment to License Agreement with Xencor. Pursuant to the Xencor Agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royalty-
bearing license in licensed patent rights, licensed know-how and licensed materials (as defined in the Xencor Agreement) to make, develop, use, sell and
import  any  pharmaceutical  product  that  comprises,  contains,  or  incorporates  Xencor’s  proprietary  protein  known  as  “XPro”  that  inhibits  soluble  tumor
necrosis  factor  (or  all  modifications,  formulations  and  variants  of  the  licensed  protein  that  specifically  bind  soluble  tumor  necrosis  factor)  alone  or  in
combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. The Xencor Agreement expires upon the later of: (a) the expiration of the
last to expire valid claim covering any pharmaceutical product that contains, comprises, or incorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as XPro alone
or in combination with one or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. (“Licensed Product”) in such country or (b) ten years following the
first sale to a third party of the licensed product in such country. Net Sales with respect to any Licensed Product is the gross amounts invoiced by us for
sales of the Licensed Products less deductions actually incurred. A valid claim is an issued, unexpired or pending claim with the patent rights that Xencor
controls as of October 3, 2017 which patent rights are necessary to make, develop, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import a Licensed Product in
the  Field  (the  Field  means  all  applications  for  the  treatment  of  diseases  in  humans)  or  the  Product  Patent  Rights,  which  claim  has  not  lapsed,  been
abandoned,  been  revoked  or  been  held  to  be  unpatentable,  invalid  or  unenforceable  by  a  final  judgment  of  a  court  or  other  governmental  agency  or
competent  jurisdiction  from  which  no  appeal  can  be  or  is  taken  within  the  time  allowed  for  appeal  and  which  has  not  been  admitted  to  be  invalid  or

 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
unenforceable  through  reissue,  re-examination,  disclaimer  or  otherwise.  Product  Patent  Rights  shall  mean  any  and  all  our  patent  rights  that  are
necessary to make, develop, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale and import a Licensed Product in the Field, including any improvements or patent rights
directed to the Licensed Product. Either party may terminate the Xencor Agreement upon 60 days’ (10 days for any payment default) prior written notice
to the other party after the breach of any material provision of the agreement by the other party if the breaching party has not cured the breach within the
60-day period (10-day period for any payment default) following written notice of termination by the non-breaching party. We can terminate the Xencor
Agreement  upon  180  days  prior  written  notice  to  Xencor.  Xencor  may  terminate  the  Xencor  Agreement  in  its  entirety  or  with  respect  to  any  specific
Licensed  Product  upon  written  notice  in  the  event  that  we  contest,  oppose  or  challenge  or  assist  any  party  in  contesting,  opposing  or  challenging,
Xencor’s ownership of, or the enforceability or validity of the Patent Rights that Xencor controls as of October 3, 2017 which Patent Rights are necessary
to make develop, use, sell, have sold, offered for sale and import a Licensed Product in the Field. Either party may terminate the Xencor Agreement upon
written notice to the other party upon or after the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution or winding up of such other party or the making or seeking to make or
arrange  an  assignment  for  the  benefit  of  creditors  of  such  other  party  or  the  initiation  of  proceedings  in  voluntary  or  involuntary  bankruptcy  which
proceeding or action remains undismissed or unstayed for a period of more than 60 days.

In consideration of the Xencor Agreement, we agreed to royalty payments and a percentage of any payments received in exchange for a sub-

license.

University College London License Agreement – MSC

On  July  19,  2019,  the  Company  entered  into  license  agreement  with  UCL  Business  PLC  (“UCLB”)  with  a  ten  (10)  year  term.  Pursuant  to  the
license agreement, the Company acquired an exclusive license (and a right to sub-license) to the technology and know-how relating to an isolation and
commercial scale expansion methodology of GMP grade human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (“MSC”).

On July 16, 2021, we provided notice of intent to terminate the agreement with UCLB, which per the agreement became effective August 15,

2021.

INKmune Research and Development

We expect to use third parties to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials under the direct supervision of management.

INKmune Manufacturing

We intend to contract with third parties for the manufacture of our compounds for investigational purposes, for preclinical and clinical testing and
for any FDA approved products for commercial sale. Pre-clinical and clinical material for the early clinical trials with INKmune has been manufactured
under the direction of Mark Lowdell at a licensed Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) facility. The master cell bank, working cell bank and individual
product doses were completed in July 2018. This clinical material is planned for use in the Phase I/II clinical trials in ovarian cancer. As we progress in
our  clinical  programs,  additional  working  cell  banks  and  therapeutic  product  will  be  produced  from  the  existing  master  cell  bank.  This  process  takes
approximately  6  months  and  is  not  anticipated  to  delay  the  initiation  of  the  high-risk  MDS  Phase  I/II  trials.  We  may  transfer  the  manufacturing  to  a
different commercial contract manufacturing organization after completion of these Phase II studies.

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

In November 2017, we entered into a Material Transfer and License Agreement with the Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank (“AN”), the oldest and
largest  non-directed  cord  blood  bank  in  the  United  Kingdom  for  the  supply  the  starting  material  for  the  mesenchymal  stem  cells  -  umbilical  cords  not
used  after  cord  blood  harvest.  Mark  Lowdell’s  research  group  developed  and  validated  a  methodology  for  producing  large  numbers  of  clinical-grade
pooled human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (“HucMSC”). We believe the reproducible and reliable supply of large quantities of high-
quality a may solve one of the major problems associated with the development of mesenchymal stem cell therapies for medicine. We believe we are
well positioned to become a preferred manufacturing partner for companies who need MSC for clinical programs. Manufacture of HucMSC is performed
under  the  direction  of  Mark  Lowdell  in  a  licensed  GMP  facility  that  is  contracted  to  the  Company  as  part  of  existing  research  and  development
agreements. The starting material for the HucMSC product is provided by the AN. The HucMSC product produced in this facility are fully qualified to be
used  for  either  research  or  clinical  trials.  We  have  developed  a  validated  manufacturing  process  that  reliably  produces  contract  manufacturer  of  the
clinical  grade  (“cGMP”)  quality  mesenchymal  stem  cells  that  we  call  CORDstrom.  To  date,  we  are  supporting  two  academic  clinical  trials  with
CORDstrom. One program is a in the UK treating children with erythematous bullousa, a disfiguring skin disease in children that is similar to a second
degree burn and treatment of system lupus in adults. Both these studies are ongoing. INmune Bio is supplying the clinical product for treatment of these
patients. The Company does not know the results of these trials until they are announced by the principal investigators at the clinical sites. Currently, we
plan to supply HucMSC to third parties for their research use and in clinical trials as part of the development process for commercial pro/ducts. We may
decide to expand this agreement in the future if the commercial and/or development opportunities warrant such expansion. At the current time, we expect
this program to be funded by revenues from commercial sales. The agreement with AN terminates on November 29, 2027. AN may terminate the license
on written notice to us, if a donor withdraws consent to the continued use of umbilical cord tissue samples that were obtained by AN. Additionally, either
party may terminate the agreement on 30 days prior written notice to the other if that other party materially breach any term of the agreement and such
breaches (to the extent it is remediable) is not remedied within 30 days of the written request to the other party to do so.

Challenges in the Market for Immunotherapy Products

Government Regulation

The  FDA  and  other  federal,  state,  local  and  foreign  regulatory  agencies  impose  substantial  requirements  upon  the  clinical  development,
approval, labeling, manufacture, marketing, and distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development
activities and the testing, approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of our
product  candidates.  The  regulatory  approval  process  is  generally  lengthy  and  expensive,  with  no  guarantee  of  a  positive  result.  Moreover,  failure  to
comply with applicable FDA or other requirements may result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a product from the market.

Various regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion, and distribution of drugs in the United States
under the FDA and other statutes and implementing regulations. The process required by the FDA before prescription drug product candidates may be
marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

●

●

●

●

●

completion  of  extensive  nonclinical  laboratory  tests,  animal  studies  and  formulation  studies,  all  performed  in  accordance  with  the  FDA’s
Good Laboratory Practice regulations;

submission  to  the  FDA  of  an  investigational  new  drug  application,  or  IND,  which  must  become  effective  before  human  clinical  trials  may
begin;

for  some  products,  performance  of  adequate  and  well-controlled  human  clinical  trials  in  accordance  with  the  FDA’s  regulations,  including
Good Clinical Practices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;

submission to the FDA of a new drug application or NDA;

satisfactory  completion  of  an  FDA  preapproval  inspection  of  the  manufacturing  facilities  at  which  the  product  is  produced  to  assess
compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice, or cGMP, regulations; and

●

FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.

The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and we cannot be certain that any approvals for our

product candidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals
and other animal studies. The results of preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to
the FDA. Some preclinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more protocols for the initial clinical trial or
trials and an investigator’s brochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30-day time
period, raises concerns or questions relating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such
cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may
be  imposed  at  any  time  before  or  during  studies  due  to  safety  concerns  or  non-compliance  with  regulatory  requirements.  An  independent  institutional
review board, or IRB, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conduct the clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it
commences  at  that  center.  An  IRB  considers,  among  other  things,  whether  the  risks  to  individuals  participating  in  the  trials  are  minimized  and  are
reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trial participants and must monitor the study until
completed.

The FDA offers several regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs in the indications
on  which  we  are  focusing  our  efforts.  These  include  accelerated  approval  under  Subpart  H  of  the  agency’s  NDA  approval  regulations,  fast  track  drug
development procedures and priority review.

29

We plan to seek orphan drug designation for INKmune for the treatment of high-risk MDS if the results of the clinical trials support this activity.
The United States, European Union and other jurisdictions may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,”
which,  in  the  United  States,  is  generally  a  disease  or  condition  that  affects  no  more  than  200,000  individuals.  In  the  European  Union,  orphan  drug
designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitating and affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the European
Union;  without  incentive  it  is  unlikely  that  the  drug  would  generate  sufficient  return  to  justify  the  necessary  investment;  and  no  satisfactory  method  of
treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affected by the condition. If a product that has an
orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to
orphan  exclusivity,  meaning  that  the  applicable  regulatory  authority  may  not  approve  any  other  applications  to  market  the  same  drug  for  the  same
indication, except in limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the United States and 10 years in the European Union Orphan drug designation
does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. Orphan drug
designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential
orphan  use  are  publicly  disclosed.  Orphan  drug  designation  does  not  convey  an  advantage  in,  or  shorten  the  duration  of,  the  review  and  approval
process. However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization (NDA) fees. We plan to follow a similar path with INB03 or
XPro, although the precise indication cannot be determined until we are farther along in the development process.

Clinical Trials

Phase 1 clinical trials typically involve the initial introduction of the product candidate into healthy human volunteers. In Phase 1 clinical trials, the

product candidate is typically tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmacodynamics.

Phase 2 clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the product candidate for specific,

targeted indications; to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage; and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks.

Phase  3  clinical  trials  are  undertaken  to  evaluate  clinical  efficacy  and  to  test  for  safety  in  an  expanded  patient  population  at  geographically
dispersed clinical trial sites. The size of Phase 3 clinical trials depends upon clinical and statistical considerations for the product candidate and disease,
but  sometimes  can  include  several  thousand  patients.  Phase  3  clinical  trials  are  intended  to  establish  the  overall  risk-benefit  ratio  of  the  product
candidate and provide an adequate basis for product labeling.

Clinical  trials  involve  the  administration  of  the  product  candidate  to  human  subjects  under  the  supervision  of  qualified  medical  investigators
according to approved protocols that detail the objectives of the study, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to
be  used  to  monitor  participant  safety.  Regulatory  procedures  differ  in  each  country  we  will  be  working  in.,  For  example,  in  the  US,  each  protocol  is
submitted, to the FDA as part of the IND for their review and consent before enrolling patients in the clinical trial. The US is not the only place to perform
clinical  trials.  Most  countries  have  systems  in  place  to  allow  academics  and  companies  to  sponsor  clinical  trials  of  novel  therapies  in  patients.  For
financial and technical reasons, the Company will perform the Phase I clinical trials of our programs in the United Kingdom and Australia. The US will be
included in the Phase II programs. Other venues such as Europe, Canada, Japan and other Pacific Rim countries may be included in the development

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
program  in  the  future.  The  first  clinical  trial  with  INKmune  will  be  initiated  in  the  United  Kingdom.  In  the  United  Kingdom,  the  regulatory  submission  is
made to the MHRA for a clinical trials authorization (“CTA”). This is a multistep process. The Company had a Scientific Advice meeting with the MHRA in
September 2017 to discuss the INKmune Phase I/II trial in women with relapse/refractory ovarian cancer including trial design, manufacturing processes
and clinical trial execution. The MHRA gave recommendations on trial design, manufacturing controls and the regulatory procedures needed to initiate
the clinical trial. We received CTA approval from the MHRA for an INKmune trial in ovarian cancer on December 18, 2018. The approval allows for the
execution of the Phase I/II INKmune clinical trial in the United Kingdom. We plan to have two cancer clinics referring the 6 patients needed for the Phase
I portion of the trial. We expect the first Phase I sites to be in the United Kingdom. If the first cohort of the Phase I trial proceeds as planned, we expect to
expand the clinical trial in the United Kingdom and may include clinical sites in the US. Any Phase II program will start as a multi-national trial because at
least 30 patients will be required to complete the Phase II program. The additional clinical sites in the United Kingdom or US have not been identified at
this time. No additional regulatory procedures will be needed to add sites in the United Kingdom. To add sites in the US, we will need to file an IND with
the FDA. Once the FDA approves the IND, clinical sites can be opened. We have chosen relapsed/refractory ovarian cancer as the anticipated Phase 1
study for INKmune for a number of reasons. Relapsed refractory is a disease with poor treatment options. Our pre-clinical data suggests INKmune may
have advantages over other immunotherapies in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer has a sensitive and validated biomarker to measure
disease burden – CA125. This allows the Company to accurately select patients for the clinical trial and determine if INKmune therapy is effective. This
provides  regulatory  advantages  for  registration  of  INKmune.  INB03  will  follow  a  similar  development  strategy,  but  used  Australia  for  the  Phase  I
programs.  In  Australia,  clinical  trials  for  INB03  are  performed  under  the  clinical  trials  notification  (“CTN”)  scheme  authorized  by  the  Therapeutic  Good
Administration (“TGA”). The TGA is the equivalent agency to the FDA in the US and the MHRA in the United Kingdom. We filed an Australian Clinical
Trial Notification, or CTN, for INB03 and XPro during the second quarter of 2018 and 2019 respectively. Applications were accepted in May 2018 and
2019 to allow us to initiate the Phase I trials in cancer and Alzheimer’s disease respectively. We have completed the oncology Phase 1 open label dose
escalation trial in patients with advanced solid tumors and biomarkers of inflammation in their blood.

30

The  Phase  I  trial  has  been  completed  and  provided  evidence  of  safety  and  a  pharmacodynamic  drug  affect,  decrease  of  inflammatory
biomarkers, needed to move the program to a Phase II clinical trial in cancer. The Phase II clinical trial will combine INB03 with approved second line
therapy  in  patients  with  MUC4+  breast  cancer  with  or  without  brain  metastasis  that  have  a  measurable  pharmacodynamic  biomarker.  This  is  a
combination  trial  where  the  addition  of  INB03  to  approved  second  line  therapy  may  provide  a  therapeutic  alternative  in  a  disease  without  any  drugs
approved. The Company has not lost interest in combining INB03 with immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), but competition for patients is fierce in this
arena.  Our  plan  is  to  pursue  treatment  of  tumors  that  express  MUC4  as  our  lead  indication.  Tumors  that  express  MUC4  are  resistant  to  all  forms  of
immunotherapy due to a combination of increased MDSC in the tumor, decrease tumor macrophage (TAM) phagocytosis, decreased inflammation in the
tumor  (a  “cold”  tumor)  and  direct  effects  of  MUC4  and  soluble  TNF  on  HER2/neu  function.  If  combination  therapy  with  INB03  decreases  MUC4
expression  and  changes  the  TME  to  make  the  “cold”  tumor  “hot”,  then  addition  of  a  CPI  will  be  warranted.  At  this  time,  the  combination  trial  to  treat
MUC4+ trastuzumab resistant HER2+ expressing cancer is our most probable registration strategy for INB03. This includes the combination of INB03
with trastuzumab antibody drug conjugate therapies such as ENHERTU (trastuzumab-deruxtecan; (Daiichi-Sankyo). Current therapies for trastuzumab
resistant cancers are used on a trial by error approach. Using MUC4 expression as a biomarker for to predict trastuzumab resistance brings a precision
medicine approach to this difficult clinical scenario. Addition of INB03 to the treatment regimen for treating HER2+ cancers may convert “cold” tumors to
“hot” tumors making the eligible for treatment with CPI. Finally, the clinical development landscape for CPI combination therapies to treat CPI resistant
therapies  is  chaotic.  The  design  and  successful  completion  of  a  Phase  II  trial  is  not  guarantee  of  clinical  relevance  or  commercial  viability.  There  are
multiple therapies on the market or in development for the treatment of trastuzumab resistant breast cancer. The most prominent are antibody conjugates
including  ado-trastuzumab  emtansine  (Kadycycla/T-DM1,  Genentech/Roche)  and  trastuzumab  deruxtecan  (Enhertu,  Daiichi  Sankyo).  The  registration
and  development  strategy  for  INB03  is  multinational.  The  Phase  II  program  may  enroll  patients  in  other  countries,  including  the  United  States  after
submitting an Investigational New Drug application, or IND, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. If partnering is successful at any stage of
INB03 development, we expect the partner to influence the development and regulatory decisions needed with moving the drug to commercialization.
Finally, combination therapy to treat patients resistant to trastuzumab or CPI are not the only oncology application for INB03. INB03 can be combined
with other immune-oncology therapy to improve efficacy, safety or both. INB03 can be used as part of combination therapy with immuno-oncology drugs,
paired with tradition therapies such as cytotoxic chemotherapy, kinase inhibitors, cell therapies or radiation therapy. The company is pursuing pre-clinical
data in some of these areas. When and if positive developments occur, we will communicate them to our shareholders. There are other regulatory venues
that  will  be  important  for  both  our  products  –  the  largest  and  most  important  is  Europe.  In  Europe,  the  European  Medicines  Agencies  (“EMA”)  is
responsible for authorization of clinical trials in member states. In EU, there may be a requirement to get individual country authorization at the same time
as EMA authorization. The initial development of INB03 and XPro occurred in AUS followed by trials in other regulatory jurisdictions including the US. The
development of INKmune will start in the United Kingdom followed by trials in the US. XPro is being developed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
under a Part-the-Cloud Award received Feb 2019. The biomarker directed Phase I trial is being performed in AUS using a regulatory strategy identical to
that  used  for  INB03  in  cancer.  Regulatory  approval  to  initiate  the  trial  was  received  on  February  8,  2019.  XPro  treats  microglial  activation  and  innate
immune  dysregulation  may  be  the  cause  with  Alzheimer’s  disease  in  some  patients.  To  our  knowledge,  there  are  few  companies  using  an  anti-
inflammatory strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Those companies include Denali Therapeutics (NASDAQ: DNLI); developing DNL747 that
targets critical signaling proteins in the TNF pathway that regulate inflammation and cell death. Alector (NASDAQ: ALEC) in partnership with Abbvie is
developing AL002 that targets TREM2 on microglial cells. Gliacure is targeting microglial cells in Alzheimer’s disease with a small molecule candidate
GC021109.

31

Clinical testing must satisfy extensive FDA regulations. Reports detailing the results of the clinical trials must be submitted at least annually to
the FDA and safety reports must be submitted for serious and unexpected adverse events. Success in early stage clinical trials does not assure success
in  later  stage  clinical  trials.  The  FDA,  an  IRB  or  we  may  suspend  a  clinical  trial  at  any  time  on  various  grounds,  including  a  finding  that  the  research
subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

New Drug Applications

Assuming  successful  completion  of  the  required  clinical  trials,  the  results  of  product  development,  preclinical  studies  and  clinical  trials  are
submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA. An NDA also must contain extensive manufacturing information, as well as proposed labeling for the finished
product.  An  NDA  applicant  must  develop  information  about  the  chemistry  and  physical  characteristics  of  the  drug  and  finalize  a  process  for
manufacturing  the  product  in  accordance  with  cGMP.  The  manufacturing  process  must  be  capable  of  consistently  producing  quality  product  within
specifications approved by the FDA. The manufacturer must develop methods for testing the quality, purity and potency of the final product. In addition,
appropriate  packaging  must  be  selected  and  tested  and  stability  studies  must  be  conducted  to  demonstrate  that  the  product  does  not  undergo

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life. Prior to approval, the FDA will conduct an inspection of the manufacturing facilities to assess compliance
with cGMP.

The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing. The FDA may request additional information rather than accept an NDA
for filing. In this event, the NDA must be resubmitted with the additional information and is subject to review before the FDA accepts it for filing. After an
application is filed, the FDA may refer the NDA to an advisory committee for review, evaluation and recommendation as to whether the application should
be approved and under what conditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it considers them carefully when
making decisions. The FDA may deny approval of an NDA if the applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. Data obtained from clinical trials are not
always conclusive and the FDA may interpret data differently than we interpret the same data. The FDA may issue a complete response letter, which
may require additional clinical or other data or impose other conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the NDA. If a product receives
regulatory approval, the approval may be significantly limited to specific diseases and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which
could restrict the commercial value of the product. In addition, the FDA may require us to conduct Phase 4 testing which involves clinical trials designed
to further assess a drug’s safety and effectiveness after NDA approval, and may require surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products
which have been commercialized. Once issued, the FDA may withdraw product approval if ongoing regulatory requirements are not met or if safety or
efficacy questions are raised after the product reaches the market.

Post-Approval Requirements

Any  products  manufactured  or  distributed  by  us  pursuant  to  FDA  approvals  are  subject  to  pervasive  and  continuing  regulation  by  the  FDA,
including, among other things, requirements relating to record-keeping, reporting of adverse experiences, periodic reporting, distribution, and advertising
and promotion of the product. After approval, most changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications or other labeling claims, are subject
to prior FDA review and approval. There also are continuing, annual user fee requirements for any marketed products and the establishments at which
such products are manufactured, as well as new application fees for supplemental applications with clinical data. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their
subcontractors  are  required  to  register  their  establishments  with  the  FDA  and  certain  state  agencies,  and  are  subject  to  periodic  unannounced
inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with GMP, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements upon us
and our third-party manufacturers. Changes to the manufacturing process are strictly regulated, and, depending on the significance of the change, may
require  prior  FDA  approval  before  being  implemented.  FDA  regulations  also  require  investigation  and  correction  of  any  deviations  from  cGMP  and
impose  reporting  requirements  upon  us  and  any  third-party  manufacturers  that  we  may  decide  to  use.  Accordingly,  manufacturers  must  continue  to
expend  time,  money  and  effort  in  the  area  of  production  and  quality  control  to  maintain  compliance  with  cGMP  and  other  aspects  of  regulatory
compliance. If our future suppliers are not able to comply with these requirements, the FDA may, among other things, halt our clinical trials, require us to
recall a product from distribution, or withdraw approval of the product.

32

The  FDA  may  withdraw  approval  if  compliance  with  regulatory  requirements  and  standards  is  not  maintained  or  if  problems  occur  after  the
product  reaches  the  market.  Later  discovery  of  previously  unknown  problems  with  a  product,  including  adverse  events  of  unanticipated  severity  or
frequency, or with manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new
safety  information;  imposition  of  post-market  studies  or  clinical  studies  to  assess  new  safety  risks;  or  imposition  of  distribution  restrictions  or  other
restrictions under a REMS program.

The  FDA  closely  regulates  the  marketing,  labeling,  advertising  and  promotion  of  pharmaceutical  products.  A  company  can  make  only  those
claims relating to safety and efficacy, purity and potency that are approved by the FDA and in accordance with the provisions of the approved label. The
FDA and other agencies actively enforce the laws and regulations prohibiting the promotion of off-label uses. Failure to comply with these requirements
can  result  in,  among  other  things,  adverse  publicity,  warning  letters,  corrective  advertising  and  potential  civil  and  criminal  penalties.  Physicians  may
prescribe legally available products for uses that are not described in the product’s labeling and that differ from those tested by us and approved by the
FDA.  Such  off-label  uses  are  common  across  medical  specialties.  Physicians  may  believe  that  such  off-label  uses  are  the  best  treatment  for  many
patients in varied circumstances. The FDA does not regulate the behavior of physicians in their choice of treatments. The FDA does, however, restrict
manufacturer’s communications on the subject of off-label use of their products.

Other Healthcare Laws and Compliance Requirements

Our  sales,  promotion,  medical  education,  clinical  research  and  other  activities  following  product  approval  will  be  subject  to  regulation  by
numerous regulatory and law enforcement authorities in the United States in addition to FDA, including potentially the Federal Trade Commission, the
Department of Justice, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, or CMS, other divisions of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
and state and local governments. Our promotional and scientific/educational programs must comply with the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the civil False
Claims Act, physician payment transparency laws, privacy laws, security laws, and additional federal and state laws similar to the foregoing.

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, the knowing and willing, direct or indirect offer, receipt, solicitation or payment of
remuneration in exchange for or to induce the referral of patients, including the purchase, order or lease of any good, facility, item or service that would
be paid for in whole or part by Medicare, Medicaid or other federal health care programs. Remuneration has been broadly defined to include anything of
value, including cash, improper discounts, and free or reduced price items and services. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute has been interpreted to apply
to arrangements between pharmaceutical manufacturers on one hand and prescribers, purchasers, formulary managers, and beneficiaries on the other.
Although there are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, the exceptions and
safe  harbors  are  drawn  narrowly.  Practices  that  involve  remuneration  that  may  be  alleged  to  be  intended  to  induce  prescribing,  purchases  or
recommendations may be subject to scrutiny if they do not qualify for an exception or safe harbor. Failure to meet all of the requirements of a particular
applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor does not make the conduct per se illegal under the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. Instead, the
legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on a cumulative review of all its facts and circumstances. Several courts
have  interpreted  the  statute’s  intent  requirement  to  mean  that  if  any  one  purpose  of  an  arrangement  involving  remuneration  is  to  induce  referrals  of
federal  healthcare  covered  business,  the  federal  Anti-Kickback  Statute  has  been  violated.  The  government  has  enforced  the  federal  Anti-Kickback
Statute to reach large settlements with healthcare companies based on sham research or consulting and other financial arrangements with physicians.
Further, a person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation. In addition,
the government may assert that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or
fraudulent claim for purposes of the False Claims Act. Many states have similar laws that apply to their state health care programs as well as private
payors.

33

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Federal false claims and false statement laws, including the federal civil False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on persons or entities that,
among other things, knowingly present or cause to be presented claims that are false or fraudulent or not provided as claimed for payment or approval by
a  federal  health  care  program.  The  FCA  has  been  used  to  prosecute  persons  or  entities  that  “cause”  the  submission  of  claims  for  payment  that  are
inaccurate or fraudulent, by, for example, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers, promoting a product off-label, submitting claims
for services not provided as claimed, or submitting claims for services that were provided but not medically necessary. Actions under the FCA may be
brought  by  the  Attorney  General  or  as  a  qui  tam  action  by  a  private  individual  in  the  name  of  the  government.  Violations  of  the  FCA  can  result  in
significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federal government is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its
investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of
products  for  unapproved  uses  and  other  illegal  sales  and  marketing  practices.  The  government  has  obtained  multi-million  and  multibillion  dollar
settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminal statutes. In addition, certain companies that were found
to  be  in  violation  of  the  FCA  have  been  forced  to  implement  extensive  corrective  action  plans,  and  have  often  become  subject  to  consent  decrees  or
corporate integrity agreements, restricting the manner in which they conduct their business.

The  federal  Health  Insurance  Portability  and  Accountability  Act  of  1996,  or  HIPAA,  created  additional  federal  criminal  statutes  that  prohibit,
among other things, knowingly and willfully executing, or attempting to execute, a scheme to defraud any healthcare benefit program, including private
third-party  payors;  knowingly  and  willfully  falsifying,  concealing  or  covering  up  a  material  fact  or  making  any  materially  false,  fictitious  or  fraudulent
statement in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items or services; and willfully obstructing a criminal investigation of a
healthcare  offense.  Like  the  federal  Anti-Kickback  Statute,  the  Affordable  Care  Act  amended  the  intent  standard  for  certain  healthcare  fraud  statutes
under  HIPAA  such  that  a  person  or  entity  no  longer  needs  to  have  actual  knowledge  of  the  statute  or  specific  intent  to  violate  it  in  order  to  have
committed a violation.

Given  the  significant  size  of  actual  and  potential  settlements,  we  expect  that  the  government  will  continue  to  devote  substantial  resources  to
investigating healthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws. Also, many states have similar fraud and abuse
statutes or regulations that may be broader in scope and may apply regardless of payor, in addition to items and services reimbursed under Medicaid and
other  state  programs.  Additionally,  to  the  extent  that  our  products,  once  commercialized,  are  sold  in  a  foreign  country,  we  may  be  subject  to  similar
foreign laws.

In  addition,  there  has  been  a  recent  trend  of  increased  federal  and  state  regulation  of  payments  made  to  physicians  and  other  healthcare
providers.  The  Patient  Protection  and  Affordable  Care  Act,  as  amended  by  the  Health  Care  and  Education  Reconciliation  Act,  or  collectively,  the
Affordable Care Act, among other things, imposed new reporting requirements on certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics and medical supplies
for  which  payment  is  available  under  Medicare,  Medicaid  or  the  Children’s  Health  Insurance  Program,  with  specific  exceptions,  for  payments  or  other
transfers  of  value  made  by  them  to  physicians  and  teaching  hospitals,  as  well  as  ownership  and  investment  interests  held  by  physicians  and  their
immediate family members. Covered manufacturers are required to collect and report detailed payment data and submit legal attestation to the accuracy
of such data to the government each year. Failure to submit required information may result in civil monetary penalties of up to an aggregate of $150,000
per year (or up to an aggregate of $1 million per year for “knowing failures”), for all payments, transfers of value or ownership or investment interests that
are  not  timely,  accurately  and  completely  reported  in  an  annual  submission.  Additionally,  entities  that  do  not  comply  with  mandatory  reporting
requirements  may  be  subject  to  a  corporate  integrity  agreement.  Certain  states  also  mandate  implementation  of  commercial  compliance  programs,
impose  restrictions  on  covered  manufacturers’  marketing  practices  and/or  require  the  tracking  and  reporting  of  gifts,  compensation  and  other
remuneration to physicians and other healthcare professionals.

We may also be subject to data privacy and security regulation by both the federal government and the states in which we conduct our business.
HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information Technology and Clinical Health Act, or HITECH, and their respective implementing regulations, imposes
specified  requirements  on  certain  health  care  providers,  plans  and  clearinghouses  (collectively,  “covered  entities”)  and  their  “business  associates,”
relating  to  the  privacy,  security  and  transmission  of  individually  identifiable  health  information.  Among  other  things,  HITECH  makes  HIPAA’s  security
standards directly applicable to “business associates,” defined as independent contractors or agents of covered entities that create, receive, maintain or
transmit  protected  health  information  in  connection  with  providing  a  service  for  or  on  behalf  of  a  covered  entity.  HITECH  also  increased  the  civil  and
criminal penalties that may be imposed against covered entities, business associates and possibly other persons, and gave state attorneys general new
authority to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce HIPAA and seek attorney’s fees and costs associated with pursuing
federal civil actions. In addition, certain states have their own laws that govern the privacy and security of health information in certain circumstances,
many of which differ from each other and/or HIPAA in significant ways and may not have the same effect, thus complicating compliance efforts.

Coverage and Reimbursement

Sales of pharmaceutical products depend significantly on the extent to which coverage and adequate reimbursement are provided by third-party
payors.  Third-party  payors  include  state  and  federal  government  health  care  programs,  managed  care  providers,  private  health  insurers  and  other
organizations. Although we currently believe that third-party payors will provide coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, we
cannot  be  certain  of  this.  Third-party  payors  are  increasingly  challenging  the  price,  examining  the  cost-effectiveness,  and  reducing  reimbursement  for
medical products and services. In addition, significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approved healthcare products. The U.S.
government, state legislatures and foreign governments have continued implementing cost containment programs, including price controls, restrictions on
coverage  and  reimbursement  and  requirements  for  substitution  of  generic  products.  Adoption  of  price  controls  and  cost  containment  measures,  and
adoption of more restrictive policies in jurisdictions with existing controls and measures, could further limit our net revenue and results. We may need to
conduct expensive clinical studies to demonstrate the comparative cost-effectiveness of our products. The product candidates that we develop may not
be considered cost-effective and thus may not be covered or sufficiently reimbursed. It is time consuming and expensive for us to seek coverage and
reimbursement  from  third-party  payors,  as  each  payor  will  make  its  own  determination  as  to  whether  to  cover  a  product  and  at  what  level  of
reimbursement.  Thus,  one  payor’s  decision  to  provide  coverage  and  adequate  reimbursement  for  a  product  does  not  assure  that  another  payor  will
provide coverage or that the reimbursement levels will be adequate. Moreover, a payor’s decision to provide coverage for a drug product does not imply
that an adequate reimbursement rate will be approved. Reimbursement may not be available or sufficient to allow us to sell our products on a competitive
and profitable basis.

Healthcare Reform

The United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the
healthcare  system  in  ways  that  could  affect  our  ability  to  sell  our  products  profitably.  Among  policy  makers  and  payors  in  the  United  States  and

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
elsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality
and/or  expanding  access.  In  the  United  States,  the  pharmaceutical  industry  has  been  a  particular  focus  of  these  efforts  and  has  been  significantly
affected by major legislative initiatives.

By  way  of  example,  in  March  2010,  the  Affordable  Care  Act  was  signed  into  law,  intended  to  broaden  access  to  health  insurance,  reduce  or
constrain  the  growth  of  healthcare  spending,  enhance  remedies  against  fraud  and  abuse,  add  new  transparency  requirements  for  the  healthcare  and
health insurance industries, impose new taxes and fees on the health industry and impose additional health policy reforms. Among the provisions of the
Affordable Care Act of importance to our potential drug candidates are:

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

an  annual,  nondeductible  fee  on  any  entity  that  manufactures  or  imports  specified  branded  prescription  drugs  and  biologic  agents,
apportioned among these entities according to their market share in certain government healthcare programs;

an increase in the statutory minimum rebates a manufacturer must pay under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to 23.1% and 13.0% of the
average manufacturer price for branded and generic drugs, respectively;

a new methodology by which rebates owed by manufacturers under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program are calculated for drugs that are
inhaled, infused, instilled, implanted or injected;

a  new  Medicare  Part  D  coverage  gap  discount  program,  in  which  manufacturers  must  agree  to  offer  50%  point-of-sale  discounts  off
negotiated  prices  of  applicable  brand  drugs  to  eligible  beneficiaries  during  their  coverage  gap  period,  as  a  condition  for  a  manufacturer’s
outpatient drugs to be covered under Medicare Part D;

extension of a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability to covered drugs dispensed to individuals who are enrolled in Medicaid managed care
organizations;

35

expansion  of  eligibility  criteria  for  Medicaid  programs  by,  among  other  things,  allowing  states  to  offer  Medicaid  coverage  to  additional
individuals  and  by  adding  new  mandatory  eligibility  categories  for  certain  individuals  with  income  at  or  below  133%  of  the  federal  poverty
level, thereby potentially increasing a manufacturer’s Medicaid rebate liability;

expansion of the entities eligible for discounts under the Public Health Service pharmaceutical pricing program; and

a  new  Patient-Centered  Outcomes  Research  Institute  to  oversee,  identify  priorities  in,  and  conduct  comparative  clinical  effectiveness
research, along with funding for such research.

In  addition,  other  legislative  changes  have  been  proposed  and  adopted  since  the  Affordable  Care  Act  was  enacted.  These  changes  include,
among  others,  the  Budget  Control  Act  of  2011,  which  mandates  aggregate  reductions  to  Medicare  payments  to  providers  of  up  to  2%  per  fiscal  year
effective  April  1,  2013,  and,  due  to  subsequent  legislative  amendments,  will  remain  in  effect  through  2024  unless  additional  Congressional  action  is
taken.  In  January  2013,  President  Obama  signed  into  law  the  American  Taxpayer  Relief  Act  of  2012,  which,  among  other  things,  further  reduced
Medicare payments to several providers, including hospitals and cancer treatment centers, increased the statute of limitations period for the government
to  recover  overpayments  to  providers  from  three  to  five  years.  These  new  laws  may  result  in  additional  reductions  in  Medicare  and  other  healthcare
funding, which could have a material adverse effect on customers for our product candidates, if approved, and, accordingly, our financial operations.

We  expect  that  the  Affordable  Care  Act,  as  well  as  other  healthcare  reform  measures  that  may  be  adopted  in  the  future,  may  result  in  more
rigorous coverage criteria and lower reimbursement, and in additional downward pressure on the price that we receive for any approved product. Any
reduction in reimbursement from Medicare or other government-funded programs may result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors. The
implementation  of  cost  containment  measures  or  other  healthcare  reforms  may  prevent  us  from  being  able  to  generate  revenue,  attain  profitability  or
commercialize our drugs.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2021, we had 10 full-time employees. We consider the intellectual capital of our employees to be an important driver of our
business and key to our future prospects. We monitor our compensation programs closely and provide what we consider to be a very competitive mix of
compensation  and  insurance  benefits  for  all  our  employees,  as  well  as  participation  in  our  equity  programs.  None  of  our  employees  is  subject  to  a
collective bargaining agreement or represented by a trade or labor union. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

We will need additional capital. If additional capital is not available or is available at unattractive terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce the
scope of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations.

In order to develop and bring our product candidates to market, we must commit substantial resources to costly and time-consuming research, preclinical
and clinical trials and marketing activities. We anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to maintain our current operations for
at least the next twelve months. We anticipate using our cash and cash equivalents to fund further research and development with respect to our lead
product candidates. We may, however, need to raise additional funding sooner if our business or operations change in a manner that consumes available
resources more rapidly than we anticipate. Our requirements for additional capital will depend on many factors, including:

●

●

●

●

●

successful commercialization of our product candidates;

the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

costs associated with protecting our intellectual property rights;

development of marketing and sales capabilities;

payments received under future collaborative agreements, if any; and

● market acceptance of our products, if any.

To the extent we raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities, the issuance of those securities could result in dilution to our shareholders.
In addition, if we obtain debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such
indebtedness, thus limiting funds available for our business activities. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope
of or eliminate our research and development programs, reduce our commercialization efforts or curtail our operations. In addition, we may be required to
obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to technologies, product candidates or
products that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves or license rights to technologies, product candidates or products on terms
that are less favorable to us than might otherwise be available.

The Company will require substantial additional funds to support its research and development activities, and the anticipated costs of preclinical studies
and clinical trials, regulatory approvals and eventual commercialization. Such additional sources of financing may not be available on favorable terms, if
at all. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to initiate clinical trials or obtain approval of any product
candidates  from  the  FDA  and  other  regulatory  authorities.  In  addition,  we  could  be  forced  to  discontinue  product  development,  forego  sales  and

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
marketing efforts and forego attractive business opportunities. Any additional sources of financing will likely involve the issuance of our equity securities,
which will have a dilutive effect on our stockholders.

We  face  intense  competition  in  the  markets  targeted  by  our  lead  product  candidates.  Many  of  our  competitors  have  substantially  greater
resources  than  we  do,  and  we  expect  that  all  of  our  product  candidates  under  development  will  face  intense  competition  from  existing  or
future drugs.

We expect that all of our product candidates under development, if approved, will face intense competition from existing and future drugs marketed by
large companies. These competitors may successfully market products that compete with our products, successfully identify drug candidates or develop
products earlier than we do, or develop products that are more effective, have fewer side effects or cost less than our products, if any.

38

Additionally, if a competitor receives FDA approval before we do for a drug that is similar to one of our product candidates, FDA approval for our product
candidate may be precluded or delayed due to periods of non-patent exclusivity and/or the listing with the FDA by the competitor of patents covering its
newly-approved drug product. Periods of non-patent exclusivity for new versions of existing drugs such as our current product candidates can extend up
to three and one-half years. See “Business — Government Regulation.”

These competitive factors could require us to conduct substantial new research and development activities to establish new product targets, which would
be costly and time consuming. These activities would adversely affect our ability to commercialize products and achieve revenue and profits.

Competition and technological change may make our product candidates and technologies less attractive or obsolete.

We compete with established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that are pursuing other forms of treatment for the same indications we are
pursuing  and  that  have  greater  financial  and  other  resources.  Other  companies  may  succeed  in  developing  products  earlier  than  us,  obtaining  FDA
approval for products more rapidly, or developing products that are more effective than our product candidates. Research and development by others
may render our technology or product candidates obsolete or noncompetitive, or result in treatments or cures superior to any therapy we develop. We
face  competition  from  companies  that  internally  develop  competing  technology  or  acquire  competing  technology  from  universities  and  other  research
institutions. As these companies develop their technologies, they may develop competitive positions that may prevent, make futile, or limit our product
commercialization efforts, which would result in a decrease in the revenue we would be able to derive from the sale of any products.

There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates will be accepted by the marketplace as readily as these or other competing treatments.
Furthermore, if our competitors’ products are approved before ours, it could be more difficult for us to obtain approval from the FDA. Even if our products
are successfully developed and approved for use by all governing regulatory bodies, there can be no assurance that physicians and patients will accept
our product(s) as a treatment of choice.

Furthermore, the pharmaceutical research industry is diverse, complex, and rapidly changing. By its nature, the business risks associated therewith are
numerous  and  significant.  The  effects  of  competition,  intellectual  property  disputes,  market  acceptance,  and  FDA  regulations  preclude  us  from
forecasting revenues or income with certainty or even confidence.

If  we  fail  to  protect  our  intellectual  property  rights,  our  ability  to  pursue  the  development  of  our  technologies  and  products  would  be
negatively affected.

Our  success  will  depend,  in  part,  on  our  ability  to  obtain  patents  and  maintain  adequate  protection  of  our  technologies  and  products.  If  we  do  not
adequately protect our intellectual property, competitors may be able to use our technologies to produce and market drugs in direct competition with us
and  erode  our  competitive  advantage.  Some  foreign  countries  lack  rules  and  methods  for  defending  intellectual  property  rights  and  do  not  protect
proprietary  rights  to  the  same  extent  as  the  United  States.  Many  companies  have  had  difficulty  protecting  their  proprietary  rights  in  these  foreign
countries. We may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights.

We have received, and are currently seeking, patent protection for numerous compounds and methods of treating diseases. However, the patent process
is  subject  to  numerous  risks  and  uncertainties,  and  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  we  will  be  successful  in  protecting  our  products  by  obtaining  and
defending  patents.  These  risks  and  uncertainties  include  the  following:  patents  that  may  be  issued  or  licensed  may  be  challenged,  invalidated,  or
circumvented, or otherwise may not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of which have substantially greater resources than us and
many of which have made significant investments in competing technologies, may seek, or may already have obtained, patents that will limit, interfere
with, or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sell our potential products either in the United States or in international markets; there may be significant
pressure on the United States government and other international governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the
United  States  for  treatments  that  prove  successful  as  a  matter  of  public  policy  regarding  worldwide  health  concerns;  countries  other  than  the  United
States may have less restrictive patent laws than those upheld by United States courts, allowing foreign competitors the ability to exploit these laws to
create, develop, and market competing products.

39

Moreover,  any  patents  issued  to  us  may  not  provide  us  with  meaningful  protection,  or  others  may  challenge,  circumvent  or  narrow  our  patents.  Third
parties may also independently develop products similar to our products, duplicate our unpatented products or design around any patents on products we
develop. Additionally, extensive time is required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product. While extensions of patent term
due to regulatory delays may be available, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent, even with
an extension, may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent.

In  addition,  the  United  States  Patent  and  Trademark  Office  (the  “USPTO”)  and  patent  offices  in  other  jurisdictions  have  often  required  that  patent
applications concerning pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology-related inventions be limited or narrowed substantially to cover only the specific innovations
exemplified in the patent application, thereby limiting the scope of protection against competitive challenges. Thus, even if we or our licensors are able to
obtain patents, the patents may be substantially narrower than anticipated.

Our success depends on patent applications that are licensed exclusively to us and other patents to which we may obtain assignment or licenses. We

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
may  not  be  aware,  however,  of  all  patents,  published  applications  or  published  literature  that  may  affect  our  business  either  by  blocking  our  ability  to
commercialize our product candidates, by preventing the patentability of our product candidates to us or our licensors, or by covering the same or similar
technologies that may invalidate our patents, limit the scope of our future patent claims or adversely affect our ability to market our product candidates.

In addition to patents, we rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality, nondisclosure and other contractual provisions, and security measures to
protect our confidential and proprietary information. These measures may not adequately protect our trade secrets or other proprietary information. If they
do  not  adequately  protect  our  rights,  third  parties  could  use  our  technology,  and  we  could  lose  any  competitive  advantage  we  may  have.  In  addition,
others may independently develop similar proprietary information or techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, which could impair any
competitive advantage we may have.

Patent protection and other intellectual property protection is crucial to the success of our business and prospects, and there is a substantial risk that
such protections will prove inadequate.

We license our patents from third party owners. If such owners do not properly maintain or enforce the intellectual property underlying such
licenses, our competitive position and business prospects could be harmed. Our licensors may also seek to terminate our license.

We are a party to a number of licenses that give us rights to third-party intellectual property that is necessary or useful to our business. To this end, we are
dependent on our licenses with Xencor, Inc., Immune Ventures, LLC and the University of Pittsburgh. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our
licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce our licensed intellectual property. Our licensors may not successfully prosecute any applications for or maintain
intellectual  property  to  which  we  have  licenses,  may  determine  not  to  pursue  litigation  against  other  companies  that  are  infringing  such  intellectual
property, or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might
be able to offer similar products for sale, which could adversely affect our competitive business position and harm our business prospects. If we lose any
of our right to use third-party intellectual property, it could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our technologies, products or services, as well as
harm our competitive business position and our business prospects.

40

We  are  dependent  on  our  licensing  agreement  with  Xencor  and  the  termination  of  this  agreement  could  a  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our
business.

On  October  3,  2017,  the  Company  entered  into  a  license  agreement  with  Xencor,  Inc.,  which  has  discovered  and  developed  a  proprietary  biological
molecule that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royalty-
bearing license in licensed patent rights, licensed know-how and licensed materials to make, develop, use, sell and import any pharmaceutical product
that  comprises,  contains,  or  incorporates  Xencor’s  proprietary  protein  known  as  XPro  that  inhibits  soluble  tumor  necrosis  factor  (or  all  modifications,
formulations  and  variants  of  the  licensed  protein  that  specifically  bind  soluble  tumor  necrosis  factor)  alone  or  in  combination  with  one  or  more  active
ingredients, in any dosage or formulation. If we breach this Agreement Xencor may be able to terminate it and as a result of this terminate our business
could be negatively impacted.

Our officers and Directors own the company that we license our INKmune patent from.

On October 29, 2015, we entered into an exclusive license agreement with Immune Ventures, LLC (Immune Ventures). The license agreement relates to
our  natural  killer  program,  INKmune.  Immune  Ventures  is  owned  by  our  President  and  a  member  of  our  Board  of  Directors,  David  Moss,  our  Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, our Chief Scientific Officer. Because our officers and directors also own Immune Ventures there may
be an inherent conflict of interest which could result in unanticipated actions that adversely affect us.

We have a limited operating history, and expect to incur significant additional operating losses.

We  are  an  early-stage  company  formed  in  September  2015  and  have  only  a  limited  operating  history.  Therefore,  there  is  limited  historical  financial
information upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. Our prospects must be considered in light of the uncertainties, risks, expenses, and
difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of operations. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the
next  several  years  as  our  research,  development,  and  commercial  activities  increase.  The  amount  of  future  losses  and  when,  if  ever,  we  will  achieve
profitability are uncertain. Our ability to generate material revenue and achieve profitability will depend on, among other things, successful completion of
the  preclinical  and  clinical  development  of  our  product  candidate;  obtaining  necessary  regulatory  approvals  from  the  FDA  and  international  regulatory
agencies;  implementing  successful  manufacturing,  sales,  and  marketing  arrangements;  and  raising  sufficient  funds  to  finance  our  activities.  If  we  are
unsuccessful at some or all of these undertakings, our business, prospects, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment that creates significant challenges for us.

We believe INKmune represents a novel approach to cancer treatment. Advancing this novel therapy creates significant challenges for us, including:

● Educating medical personnel regarding the potential side effect profile of INKmune;

● Sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our product candidates;

● Obtaining  regulatory  approval,  as  the  FDA  and  other  regulatory  authorities  have  limited  experience  with  commercial  development  of

immunotherapies for cancer; and

● Establishing sales and marketing capabilities upon obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance of a novel therapy.

Even  if  we  are  able  to  commercialize  any  product  candidate  that  we  develop,  the  product  may  become  subject  to  unfavorable  pricing
regulations, third-party payor reimbursement practices or healthcare reform initiatives that could harm our business.

The  commercial  success  of  our  product  candidates  will  depend  substantially,  both  domestically  and  abroad,  on  the  extent  to  which  the  costs  of  our
product  candidates  will  be  paid  by  health  maintenance,  managed  care,  pharmacy  benefit  and  similar  healthcare  management  organizations,  or
reimbursed  by  government  health  administration  authorities  (such  as  Medicare  and  Medicaid),  private  health  coverage  insurers  and  other  third-party
payors. If reimbursement is not available, or is available only to limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our product candidates.
Even  if  coverage  is  provided,  the  approved  reimbursement  amount  may  not  be  high  enough  to  allow  us  to  establish  and  maintain  pricing  sufficient  to
realize a meaningful return on our investment.

There  is  significant  uncertainty  related  to  third-party  payor  coverage  and  reimbursement  of  newly  approved  drugs.  Marketing  approvals,  pricing  and
reimbursement for new drug products vary widely from country to country. Some countries require approval of the sale price of a drug before it can be
marketed.  In  many  countries,  the  pricing  review  period  begins  after  marketing  or  product  licensing  approval  is  granted.  In  some  non-U.S.  markets,
prescription pharmaceutical pricing remains subject to continuing governmental control even after initial approval is granted. As a result, we might obtain
marketing approval for a product in a particular country, but then be subject to price regulations that delay commercial launch of the product, possibly for
lengthy time periods, which may negatively impact the revenues we are able to generate from the sale of the product in that country. Adverse pricing
limitations may hinder our ability to recoup our investment in one or more product candidates, even if our product candidates obtain marketing approval.

We depend on obtaining certain patents and protecting our proprietary rights.

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain patents, maintain trade secret protection and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights
of third parties or having third parties circumvent our rights. We have filed and are actively pursuing a patent application for our product candidates. The
patent  positions  of  biotechnology,  biopharmaceutical  and  pharmaceutical  companies  can  be  highly  uncertain  and  involve  complex  legal  and  factual
questions. Thus, there can be no assurance that our patent application will result in the issuance of a patent, that we will develop additional proprietary
products that are patentable, that any patents issued to us will provide us with any competitive advantages or will not be challenged by any third parties,
that the patents of others will not impede our ability to do business or that third parties will not be able to circumvent our patents. Furthermore, there can
be no assurance that others will not independently develop similar products, duplicate any of our products not under patent protection, or, if patents are
issued to us, design around the patented products we developed or will develop.

We  may  be  required  to  obtain  licenses  from  third  parties  to  avoid  infringing  patents  or  other  proprietary  rights.  No  assurance  can  be  given  that  any
licenses required under any such patents or proprietary rights would be made available, if at all, on terms we find acceptable. If we do not obtain such
licenses, we could encounter delays in the introduction of products or could find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring such
licenses could be prohibited.

A  number  of  pharmaceutical,  biopharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  companies  and  research  and  academic  institutions  have  developed  technologies,
filed  patent  applications  or  received  patents  on  various  technologies  that  may  be  related  to  or  affect  our  business.  Some  of  these  technologies,
applications or patents may conflict with our technologies or patent applications. Such conflict could limit the scope of the patents, if any, that we may be
able to obtain or result in the denial of our patent applications. In addition, if patents that cover our activities are issued to other companies, there can be
no assurance that we would be able to obtain licenses to these patents at a reasonable cost or be able to develop or obtain alternative technology. If we
do  not  obtain  such  licenses,  we  could  encounter  delays  in  the  introduction  of  products,  or  could  find  that  the  development,  manufacture  or  sale  of
products requiring such licenses could be prohibited. In addition, we could incur substantial costs in defending ourselves in suits brought against us on
patents it might infringe or in filing suits against others to have such patents declared invalid.

Much  of  our  know-how  and  technology  may  not  be  patentable.  To  protect  our  rights,  we  plan  to  require  employees,  consultants,  advisors  and
collaborators to enter into confidentiality agreements. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for
our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure. Further, our business may be adversely
affected by competitors who independently develop competing technologies, especially if we obtain no, or only narrow, patent protection.

42

We are subject to various government regulations.

The  manufacture  and  sale  of  human  therapeutic  products  in  the  U.S.  and  foreign  jurisdictions  are  governed  by  a  variety  of  statutes  and  regulations.
These laws require approval of manufacturing facilities, controlled research and testing of products and government review and approval of a submission
containing manufacturing, preclinical and clinical data in order to obtain marketing approval based on establishing the safety and efficacy of the product
for each use sought, including adherence to current cGMP during production and storage, and control of marketing activities, including advertising and
labeling.

The products we are currently developing will require significant development, preclinical and clinical testing and investment of substantial funds prior to
its commercialization. The process of obtaining required approvals can be costly and time-consuming, and there can be no assurance that we develop
successfully this product or any future products, or that this product or any future products we develop will prove to be safe and effective in clinical trials
or receive applicable regulatory approvals. Potential investors and shareholders should be aware of the risks, problems, delays, expenses and difficulties
which we may encounter in view of the extensive regulatory environment which controls our business.

If we are unable to keep up with rapid technological changes in our field or compete effectively, we will be unable to operate profitably.

We are engaged in a rapidly changing field. Other products and therapies that will compete directly with the product that we are seeking to develop and
market  currently  exist  or  are  being  developed.  Competition  from  fully  integrated  pharmaceutical  companies  and  more  established  biotechnology
companies is intense and is expected to increase. Most of these companies have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in discovery and
development, manufacturing, preclinical and clinical testing, obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing than us. Smaller companies may also prove to
be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large pharmaceutical and established biopharmaceutical or biotechnology
companies. Many of these competitors have significant products that have been approved or are in development and operate large, well-funded discovery
and development programs. Academic institutions, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations also conduct research,
seek patent protection and establish collaborative arrangements for therapeutic products and clinical development and marketing. These companies and
institutions compete with us in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific and management personnel. In addition to the above factors, we will face
competition  based  on  product  efficacy  and  safety,  the  timing  and  scope  of  regulatory  approvals,  availability  of  supply,  marketing  and  sales  capability,
reimbursement  coverage,  price  and  patent  position.  There  is  no  assurance  that  our  competitors  will  not  develop  more  effective  or  more  affordable
products, or achieve earlier patent protection or product commercialization, than our own.

Other  companies  may  succeed  in  developing  products  earlier  than  ourselves,  obtaining  FDA  and  European  Medicines  Agency  (“EMA”)  approvals  for
such products more rapidly than we will, or in developing products that are more effective than products we propose to develop. While we will seek to

 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
expand our technological capabilities in order to remain competitive, there can be no assurance that research and development by others will not render
our  technology  or  products  obsolete  or  non-competitive  or  result  in  treatments  or  cures  superior  to  any  therapy  we  develop,  or  that  any  therapy  we
develop will be preferred to any existing or newly developed technologies.

We  may  request  priority  review  for  our  product  candidate  in  the  future.  The  FDA  may  not  grant  priority  review  for  our  product  candidate.
Moreover, even if the FDA designates such product for priority review, that designation may not lead to a faster regulatory review or approval
process and, in any event, would not assure FDA approval.

We  may  be  eligible  for  priority  review  designation  for  our  product  candidate  if  the  FDA  determines  such  product  candidate  offers  major  advances  in
treatment  or  provides  a  treatment  where  no  adequate  therapy  exists.  A  priority  review  designation  means  that  the  goal  for  the  FDA  to  review  an
application in six months, rather than the standard review period of ten months. The FDA has broad discretion with respect to whether or not to grant
priority review status to a product candidate, so even if we believe a particular product candidate is eligible for such designation or status, the FDA may
decide not to grant it. Thus, while the FDA has granted priority review to other oncology disease products, our product candidate, should we determine to
seek priority review, may not receive similar designation. Moreover, even if our product candidate is designated for priority review, such a designation
does not necessarily mean a faster regulatory review process or necessarily confer any advantage with respect to approval compared to conventional
FDA procedures. Receiving priority review from the FDA does not guarantee approval within an accelerated timeline or thereafter.

43

We  believe  we  may  in  some  instances  be  able  to  secure  approval  from  the  FDA  or  comparable  non-U.S.  regulatory  authorities  to  use
accelerated development pathways. If we are unable to obtain such approval, we may be required to conduct additional preclinical studies or
clinical trials beyond those that we contemplate, which could increase the expense of obtaining, and delay the receipt of, necessary marketing
approvals.

We anticipate that we may seek an accelerated approval pathway for our product candidates. Under the accelerated approval provisions in the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and the FDA’s implementing regulations, the  FDA  may  grant  accelerated  approval  to  a  product  designed  to
treat a serious or life-threatening condition that provides meaningful therapeutic benefit over available therapies upon a determination that the product
has an effect on a surrogate endpoint or intermediate clinical endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. The FDA considers a clinical
benefit to be a positive therapeutic effect that is clinically meaningful in the context of a given disease, such as irreversible morbidity or mortality. For the
purposes  of  accelerated  approval,  a  surrogate  endpoint  is  a  marker,  such  as  a  laboratory  measurement,  radiographic  image,  physical  sign,  or  other
measure that is thought to predict clinical benefit, but is not itself a measure of clinical benefit. An intermediate clinical endpoint is a clinical endpoint that
can  be  measured  earlier  than  an  effect  on  irreversible  morbidity  or  mortality  that  is  reasonably  likely  to  predict  an  effect  on  irreversible  morbidity  or
mortality or other clinical benefit. The accelerated approval pathway may be used in cases in which the advantage of a new drug over available therapy
may not be a direct therapeutic advantage, but is a clinically important improvement from a patient and public health perspective. If granted, accelerated
approval is usually contingent on the sponsor’s agreement to conduct, in a diligent manner, additional post-approval confirmatory studies to verify and
describe the drug’s clinical benefit. If such post-approval studies fail to confirm the drug’s clinical benefit, the FDA may withdraw its approval of the drug.

Prior  to  seeking  such  accelerated  approval,  we  will  seek  feedback  from  the  FDA  and  will  otherwise  evaluate  our  ability  to  seek  and  receive  such
accelerated approval. There can be no assurance that after our evaluation of the feedback and other factors we will decide to pursue or submit a New
Drug Application, or NDA, for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or approval. Similarly, there can be no assurance
that after subsequent FDA feedback we will continue to pursue or apply for accelerated approval or any other form of expedited development, review or
approval,  even  if  we  initially  decide  to  do  so.  Furthermore,  if  we  decide  to  submit  an  application  for  accelerated  approval  or  under  another  expedited
regulatory designation (e.g., breakthrough therapy designation), there can be no assurance that such submission or application will be accepted or that
any expedited development, review or approval will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. The FDA or other non-U.S. authorities could also require us to
conduct further studies prior to considering our application or granting approval of any type. A failure to obtain accelerated approval or any other form of
expedited development, review or approval for our product candidate would result in a longer time period to commercialization of such product candidate,
could increase the cost of development of such product candidate and could harm our competitive position in the marketplace.

Clinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with an uncertain outcome. We may incur additional costs or experience
delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidate.

Our product candidates are either in early clinical development or have not entered into clinical trials and are in development stage. Therefore, the risk of
failure of our product candidates is high. It is impossible to predict when or if our product candidates will prove effective or safe in humans or will receive
regulatory approval. Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of any product candidate, we must complete preclinical
development  and  then  conduct  extensive  clinical  trials  to  demonstrate  the  safety  and  efficacy  of  our  product  candidate  in  humans.  Clinical  testing  is
expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more clinical trials can
occur  at  any  stage  of  testing.  The  clinical  development  of  our  product  candidates  is  susceptible  to  the  risk  of  failure  inherent  at  any  stage  of  drug
development, including failure to demonstrate efficacy in a clinical trial or across a broad population of patients, the occurrence of severe or medically or
commercially unacceptable adverse events, failure to comply with protocols or applicable regulatory requirements and determination by the FDA or any
comparable non-U.S. regulatory authority that a drug product is not safe or effective for its intended uses. It is possible that even if our product candidate
has  a  beneficial  effect,  that  effect  will  not  be  detected  during  clinical  evaluation  as  a  result  of  one  or  more  of  a  variety  of  factors,  including  the  size,
duration, design, measurements, conduct or analysis of our clinical trials. Conversely, as a result of the same factors, our clinical trials may indicate an
apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive effect, if any. Similarly, in our clinical trials we may fail to detect
toxicity of or intolerability caused by our product candidates, or mistakenly believe that our product candidates are toxic or not well tolerated when that is
not in fact the case.

The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not be predictive of the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial
do not necessarily predict final results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in late-
stage clinical trials after achieving positive results in earlier development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face additional setbacks.

The design of a clinical trial can determine whether its results will support approval of a product; however, flaws in the design of a clinical trial may not
become  apparent  until  the  clinical  trial  is  well  advanced  or  completed.  In  addition,  preclinical  and  clinical  data  are  often  susceptible  to  varying

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
interpretations and analyses. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have
nonetheless failed to obtain marketing approval for the product candidates. Even if we believe that the results of clinical trials for our product candidate
warrant marketing approval, the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities may disagree and may not grant marketing approval of our product
candidate.

In some instances, there can be significant variability in safety or efficacy results between different clinical trials of the same product candidate due to
numerous factors, including changes in trial procedures set forth in protocols, differences in the size and type of the patient populations, changes in and
adherence  to  the  clinical  trial  protocols  and  the  rate  of  dropout  among  clinical  trial  participants.  Any  clinical  trials  that  we  may  conduct  may  not
demonstrate the efficacy and safety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market our product candidate.

The results of preclinical studies and early-stage clinical trials may not be predictive of future results. Initial success in clinical trials may not
be indicative of results obtained when these trials are completed or in later-stage trials.

The results of preclinical studies may not be predictive of the results of clinical trials, and the results of any early-stage clinical trials we commence may
not be predictive of the results of the later-stage clinical trials. In addition, initial success in clinical trials may not be indicative of results obtained when
such trials are completed. In particular, the small number of patients in our planned early clinical trials may make the results of these trials less predictive
of the outcome of later clinical trials. For example, even if successful, the results of our initial clinical trials for XPro may not be predictive of the results of
further clinical trials of this drug candidate or any of our other drug candidates. Moreover, preclinical and clinical data often are susceptible to varying
interpretations  and  analyses,  and  many  companies  that  have  believed  their  drug  candidates  performed  satisfactorily  in  preclinical  studies  and  clinical
trials nonetheless have failed to obtain marketing approval of their products. Our future clinical trials may not ultimately be successful or support further
clinical  development  of  any  of  our  drug  candidates.  There  is  a  high  failure  rate  for  drug  candidates  proceeding  through  clinical  trials.  A  number  of
companies  in  the  pharmaceutical  and  biotechnology  industries  have  suffered  significant  setbacks  in  clinical  development  even  after  achieving
encouraging results in earlier studies. Any such setbacks in our clinical development could materially harm our business, results of operations, financial
condition and prospects.

Interim  top-line  and  preliminary  data  from  our  planned  clinical  trials  that  we  announce  or  publish  from  time  to  time  may  change  as  more
patient data become available and are subject to audit and verification procedures that could result in material changes in the final data.

From  time  to  time,  we  may  publish  interim  top-line  or  preliminary  data  from  our  planned  clinical  trials.  Interim  data  from  clinical  trials  that  we  may
complete are subject to the risk that one or more of the clinical outcomes may materially change as patient enrollment continues and more patient data
become available. Preliminary or top-line data also remain subject to audit and verification procedures that may result in the final data being materially
different from the preliminary data we previously published. As a result, interim and preliminary data should be viewed with caution until the final data are
available. Adverse differences between preliminary or interim data and final data could significantly harm our reputation and business prospects.

If  clinical  trials  of  our  product  candidates  fail  to  demonstrate  safety  and  efficacy  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  FDA  and  comparable  non-U.S.
regulators,  we  may  incur  additional  costs  or  experience  delays  in  completing,  or  ultimately  be  unable  to  complete,  the  development  and
commercialization of our product candidates.

We are not permitted to commercialize, market, promote or sell any product candidate in the United States without obtaining marketing approval from the
FDA.  Comparable  non-U.S.  regulatory  authorities,  such  as  the  EMA,  impose  similar  restrictions.  We  may  never  receive  such  approvals.  We  must
complete extensive preclinical development and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidate in humans before we will be
able to obtain these approvals.

Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to outcome. We have not
previously submitted an NDA to the FDA or similar drug approval filings to comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities for any product candidate.

Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us and impair our ability to generate revenues
from  product  sales,  regulatory  and  commercialization  milestones  and  royalties.  In  addition,  if  (1)  we  are  required  to  conduct  additional  clinical  trials  or
other testing of our product candidate beyond the trials and testing than we contemplate, (2) we are unable to successfully complete clinical trials of our
product  candidate  or  other  testing,  (3)  the  results  of  these  trials  or  tests  are  unfavorable,  uncertain  or  are  only  modestly  favorable,  or  (4)  there  are
unacceptable safety concerns associated with our product candidate, we, in addition to incurring additional costs, may:

●

●

●

●

●

●

be delayed in obtaining marketing approval for our product candidate;

not obtain marketing approval at all;

obtain approval for indications or patient populations that are not as broad as we intended or desired;

obtain approval with labeling that includes significant use or distribution restrictions or significant safety warnings, including boxed warnings;

45

be subject to additional post-marketing testing or other requirements; or

be required to remove the product from the market after obtaining marketing approval.

If we experience any of a number of possible unforeseen events in connection with clinical trials of any of our product candidates, potential
marketing approval or commercialization of that product candidate could be delayed or prevented.

We  may  experience  numerous  unforeseen  events  during,  or  as  a  result  of,  clinical  trials  that  could  delay  or  prevent  marketing  approval  of  any  of  our
product candidates, including:

●

clinical trials of our product candidate may produce unfavorable or inconclusive results;

● we may decide, or regulators may require us, to conduct additional clinical trials or abandon product development programs;

●

the  number  of  patients  required  for  clinical  trials  of  our  product  candidate  may  be  larger  than  we  anticipate,  patient  enrollment  in  these
clinical trials may be slower than we anticipate or participants may drop out of these clinical trials at a higher rate than we anticipate;

●

●

●

●

data safety monitoring committees may recommend suspension, termination or a clinical hold for various reasons, including concerns about
patient safety;

regulators or institutional review boards, or IRBs, may suspend or terminate the trial or impose a clinical hold for various reasons, including
noncompliance with regulatory requirements or concerns about patient safety;

patients with serious, life-threatening diseases included in our clinical trials may die or suffer other adverse medical events for reasons that
may not be related to our product candidate;

participating patients may be subject to unacceptable health risks;

patients may not complete clinical trials due to safety issues, side effects, or other reasons;

changes in regulatory requirements and guidance may occur, which require us to amend clinical trial protocols to reflect these changes;

our third-party contractors, including those manufacturing our product candidate or components or ingredients thereof or conducting clinical
trials on our behalf, may fail to comply with regulatory requirements or meet their contractual obligations to us in a timely manner or at all;

●

regulators or IRBs may not authorize us or our investigators to commence a clinical trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site;

● we  may  experience  delays  in  reaching  or  fail  to  reach  agreement  on  acceptable  clinical  trial  contracts  or  clinical  trial  protocols  with

prospective trial sites;

●

patients  who  enroll  in  a  clinical  trial  may  misrepresent  their  eligibility  to  do  so  or  may  otherwise  not  comply  with  the  clinical  trial  protocol,
resulting in the need to drop the patients from the clinical trial, increase the needed enrollment size for the clinical trial or extend the clinical
trial’s duration;

● we may have to suspend or terminate clinical trials of our product candidate for various reasons, including a finding that the participants are

being exposed to unacceptable health risks, undesirable side effects or other unexpected characteristics of a product candidate;

46

●

●

●

●

the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our clinical trial design or our interpretation of data from preclinical
studies and clinical trials;

the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities may fail to approve or subsequently find fault with the manufacturing processes or
facilities of third-party manufacturers with which we enter into agreements for clinical and commercial supplies;

the supply or quality of raw materials or manufactured product candidate or other materials necessary to conduct clinical trials of our product
candidate may be insufficient, inadequate, delayed, or not available at an acceptable cost, or we may experience interruptions in supply; and

the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering
our clinical data insufficient to obtain marketing approval.

Product  development  costs  for  us  will  increase  if  we  experience  delays  in  testing  or  pursuing  marketing  approvals  and  we  may  be  required  to  obtain
additional funds to complete clinical trials and prepare for possible commercialization of our product candidates. We do not know whether any preclinical
tests or clinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured or will be completed on schedule, or at all. Significant preclinical or clinical trial
delays also could shorten any periods during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates or allow our competitors to
bring products to market before we do and impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results
of operations. In addition, many of the factors that cause, or lead to, clinical trial delays may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of our
product candidates.

If  we  experience  delays  or  difficulties  in  the  enrollment  of  patients  in  clinical  trials,  we  may  not  achieve  our  clinical  development  on  our
anticipated timeline, or at all, and our receipt of necessary regulatory approvals could be delayed or prevented.

We may not be able to initiate or continue clinical trials for INKmune our DN-TNF product platform or any other product candidate if we are unable to
locate  and  enroll  a  sufficient  number  of  eligible  patients  to  participate  in  clinical  trials.  Patient  enrollment  is  a  significant  factor  in  the  timing  of  clinical
trials, and is affected by many factors, including:

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

the size and nature of the patient population;

the severity of the disease under investigation;

the proximity of patients to clinical sites;

the eligibility criteria for the trial;

the design of the clinical trial;

efforts to facilitate timely enrollment;

competing clinical trials; and

clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages and risks of the drug being studied in relation to other available therapies,
including any new drugs that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
47

Our  inability  to  enroll  a  sufficient  number  of  patients  for  our  clinical  trials  could  result  in  significant  delays  or  may  require  us  to  abandon  one  or  more
clinical trials altogether. Enrollment delays in our clinical trials may result in increased development costs for our product candidates, delay or halt the
development  of  and  approval  processes  for  our  product  candidates  and  jeopardize  our  ability  to  achieve  our  clinical  development  timeline  and  goals,
including  the  dates  by  which  we  will  commence,  complete  and  receive  results  from  clinical  trials.  Enrollment  delays  may  also  delay  or  jeopardize  our
ability to commence sales and generate revenues from our product candidates. Any of the foregoing could cause the value of the Company to decline
and limit our ability to obtain additional financing, if needed.

We  will  need  to  obtain  FDA  approval  of  any  proposed  product  brand  names,  and  any  failure  or  delay  associated  with  such  approval  may
adversely impact our business.

A  pharmaceutical  product  cannot  be  marketed  in  the  U.S.  or  other  countries  until  we  have  completed  rigorous  and  extensive  regulatory  review
processes,  including  approval  of  a  brand  name.  Any  brand  names  we  intend  to  use  for  our  product  candidates  will  require  approval  from  the  FDA
regardless of whether we have secured a formal trademark registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, or the USPTO. The FDA typically
conducts  a  review  of  proposed  product  brand  names,  including  an  evaluation  of  potential  for  confusion  with  other  product  names.  The  FDA  may  also
object to a product brand name if it believes the name inappropriately implies medical claims. If the FDA objects to any of our proposed product brand
names, we may be required to adopt an alternative brand name for our product candidates. If we adopt an alternative brand name, we would lose the
benefit of our existing trademark applications for such product candidate and may be required to expend significant additional resources in an effort to
identify  a  suitable  product  brand  name  that  would  qualify  under  applicable  trademark  laws,  not  infringe  the  existing  rights  of  third  parties  and  be
acceptable to the FDA. We may be unable to build a successful brand identity for a new trademark in a timely manner or at all, which would limit our
ability to commercialize our product candidates.

We may rely on orphan drug status to develop and commercialize our product candidates, but orphan drug designation, if obtained, may not
confer marketing exclusivity or other expected commercial benefits as anticipated.

Market  exclusivity  afforded  by  orphan  drug  designation  is  generally  offered  as  an  incentive  to  drug  developers  to  invest  in  developing  and
commercializing products for unique diseases that impact a limited number of patients. The FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to
treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Qualification to
maintain orphan drug status is generally monitored by the regulatory authorities during the orphan drug exclusivity period, currently seven years from the
date of approval in the United States.

We intend to seek orphan drug designation in the United States for our product candidate for the treatment of AML and ovarian cancer and we expect to
rely on orphan drug exclusivity for our product candidate. Even if granted, orphan drug designation, and related market exclusivity, in the United States
could  be  lost.  Further,  even  if  we  are  granted  orphan  drug  status,  the  FDA  can  still  approve  different  drugs  for  use  in  treating  the  same  indication  or
disease, which would create a more competitive market for us and our revenues will be diminished.

Further, for our product candidate, it is possible that another company also holding orphan drug designation for the same product candidate will receive
marketing  approval  for  the  same  indication  before  we  do.  If  that  were  to  happen,  our  applications  for  that  indication  may  not  be  approved  until  the
competing  company’s  period  of  exclusivity  expires.  Even  if  we  are  the  first  to  obtain  marketing  authorization  for  an  orphan  drug  indication,  there  are
circumstances under which a competing product may be approved for the same indication during the seven-year period of marketing exclusivity, such as
if the later product is shown to be clinically superior to the orphan product, or if the later product is deemed a different product than ours. Further, the
seven-year marketing exclusivity would not prevent competitors from obtaining approval of the same product candidate as ours for indications other than
those in which we have been granted orphan drug designation, or for the use of other types of products in the same indications as our orphan product.

48

If the market opportunities for our product candidates are smaller than we believe they are, our revenues may be adversely affected and our
business  may  suffer.  Because  the  target  patient  populations  of  our  product  candidates  are  small,  we  must  be  able  to  successfully  identify
patients and capture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.

We focus our research and product development on treatments for certain cancer indications. Our projections of both the number of people who have
failed other therapies or have limited medical options for such indications, are based on estimates. These estimates may prove to be incorrect and new
studies may change the estimated incidence or prevalence. The number of patients with such diseases in the United States, Europe and elsewhere may
turn out to be lower than expected or may not be otherwise amenable to treatment with our products, or new patients may become increasingly difficult to
identify  or  gain  access  to,  all  of  which  would  adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations  and  our  business.  Additionally,  because  our  target  patient
populations are small, we will be required to capture a significant market share to achieve and maintain profitability.

We may fail to comply with regulatory requirements .

Our success will be dependent upon our ability, and our collaborative partners’ abilities, to maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, including
cGMP, and safety reporting obligations. The failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in, among other things, fines, injunctions,
civil penalties, total or partial suspension of regulatory approvals, refusal to approve pending applications, recalls or seizures of products, operating and
production restrictions and criminal prosecutions.

Even if our product candidates receive marketing approval, they may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, patients,
third-party  payors  and  others  in  the  medical  community  necessary  for  commercial  success  and  the  market  opportunity  for  the  product
candidates may be smaller than we estimate.

We have never commercialized a product. Even if INKmune, our DN-TNF product platform (INB03 or XPro), or any other product candidate we develop is
approved  by  the  appropriate  regulatory  authorities  for  marketing  and  sale,  it  may  nonetheless  fail  to  gain  sufficient  market  acceptance  by  physicians,
patients,  third-party  payors  and  others  in  the  medical  community.  For  example,  physicians  are  often  reluctant  to  switch  their  patients  from  existing
therapies even when new and potentially more effective or convenient treatments enter the market. Further, patients often acclimate to the therapy that
they are currently taking and do not want to switch unless their physicians recommend switching products or they are required to switch therapies due to
lack of reimbursement for existing therapies.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors on the benefits of our product candidate may require significant resources and may not
be  successful.  If  our  product  candidate  is  approved  but  does  not  achieve  an  adequate  level  of  market  acceptance,  we  may  not  generate  significant
revenues and we may not become profitable. The degree of market acceptance of INmune or any other product candidate we develop, if approved for
commercial sale, will depend on a number of factors, including:

●

●

●

●

the efficacy and safety of the product;

the potential advantages of the product compared to alternative treatments;

the prevalence and severity of any side effects;

the clinical indications for which the product is approved;

● whether the product is designated under physician treatment guidelines as a first-line therapy or as a second- or third-line therapy;

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

limitations or warnings, including distribution or use restrictions, contained in the product’s approved labeling;

our ability to offer the product for sale at competitive prices;

our ability to establish and maintain pricing sufficient to realize a meaningful return on our investment;

the product’s convenience and ease of administration compared to alternative treatments;

49

the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of physicians to prescribe, the product;

the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;

the approval of other new products for the same indications;

changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for the product;

the timing of market introduction of our approved products as well as competitive products and other therapies;

availability and amount of reimbursement from government payors, managed care plans and other third-party payors;

adverse publicity about the product or favorable publicity about competitive products; and

potential product liability claims.

The  potential  market  opportunities  for  our  product  candidate  are  difficult  to  estimate  precisely.  Our  estimates  of  the  potential  market  opportunities  are
predicated on many assumptions, including industry knowledge and publications, third-party research reports and other surveys. While we believe that
our internal assumptions are reasonable, these assumptions involve the exercise of significant judgment on the part of our management, are inherently
uncertain  and  the  reasonableness  of  these  assumptions  has  not  been  assessed  by  an  independent  source.  If  any  of  the  assumptions  proves  to  be
inaccurate, the actual markets for our product candidate could be smaller than our estimates of the potential market opportunities.

Even if we obtain regulatory approvals for INKmune and/or any product from our DN-TNF platform (INB03, XPro) those approvals and ongoing
regulation of our products may limit how we manufacture and market our products, which could prevent us from realizing the full benefit of
our efforts.

If we obtain regulatory approvals, INKmune and/or the DN-TNF product platform, and the manufacturing facilities used for its production will be subject to
continual review, including periodic inspections, by the FDA and other United States and foreign regulatory authorities. In addition, regulatory authorities
may impose significant restrictions on the indicated uses or marketing of INKmune or other products that we may develop. These and other factors may
significantly restrict our ability to successfully commercialize INKmune.

We and many of our vendors and suppliers will be required to comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMP, which include requirements
relating  to  quality  control  and  quality  assurance  as  well  as  to  the  corresponding  maintenance  of  records  and  documentation.  Furthermore,  any
manufacturing facilities will need to be approved by regulatory agencies before these facilities can be used to manufacture, and they will also be subject
to additional regulatory inspections. Any material changes we may make to our manufacturing process may require approval by the FDA and state or
foreign regulatory authorities. Failure to comply with FDA or other applicable regulatory requirements may result in criminal prosecution, civil penalties,
recall or seizure of products, partial or total suspension of production or withdrawal of a product from the market.

We must also report adverse events that occur when our products are used. The discovery of previously unknown problems with INKmune, the DN-TNF
product platform or manufacturing facilities used to manufacture INKmune or the DN-TNF product platform may result in restrictions or sanctions on our
products or manufacturing facilities, including withdrawal of our products from the market. Regulatory agencies may also require us to reformulate our
products,  conduct  additional  clinical  trials,  make  changes  in  the  labeling  of  our  product  or  obtain  re-approvals.  This  may  cause  our  reputation  in  the
market place to suffer or subject us to lawsuits, including class action suits.

50

If our product candidates receive marketing approval and we, or others, later discover that the drug is less effective than previously believed
or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, our ability to market the drugs could be compromised.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Clinical  trials  of  our  product  candidates  will  be  conducted  in  carefully  defined  subsets  of  patients  who  have  agreed  to  enter  into  clinical  trials.
Consequently, it is possible that our clinical trials may indicate an apparent positive effect of a product candidate that is greater than the actual positive
effect, if any, or alternatively fail to identify undesirable side effects. If, following approval of our product candidate, we, or others, discover that the drug is
less effective than previously believed or causes undesirable side effects that were not previously identified, any of the following adverse events could
occur:

●

regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval of the drug or seize the drug;

● we may be required to recall the drug or change the way the drug is administered;

●

additional restrictions may be imposed on the marketing of, or the manufacturing processes for, the particular drug;

● we may be subject to fines, injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties;

●

regulatory authorities may require the addition of labeling statements, such as a “black box” warning or a contraindication;

● we may be required to create a Medication Guide outlining the risks of the previously unidentified side effects for distribution to patients;

● we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients;

●

●

the drug may become less competitive; and

our reputation may suffer.

Any of these events could have a material and adverse effect on our operations and business.

Any product candidate for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, qualification testing, post-approval
clinical  data,  labeling  and  promotional  activities  for  such  product,  will  be  subject  to  continual  and  additional  requirements  of  the  FDA  and
other regulatory authorities.

These  requirements  include  submissions  of  safety  and  other  post-marketing  information,  reports,  registration  and  listing  requirements,  good
manufacturing practices, or GMP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents,
and recordkeeping. Even if marketing approval of our product candidate is granted, the approval may be subject to limitations on the indicated uses for
which the product may be marketed or to conditions of approval, or contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the
safety  or  efficacy  of  the  product.  The  FDA  closely  regulates  the  post-approval  marketing  and  promotion  of  pharmaceutical  products  to  ensure  such
products are marketed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling.

In  addition,  later  discovery  of  previously  unknown  problems  with  our  products,  manufacturing  processes,  or  failure  to  comply  with  regulatory
requirements, may lead to various adverse results, including:

●

●

●

●

●

restrictions on such products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes;

restrictions on the labeling or marketing of a product;

restrictions on product distribution or use;

51

requirements to conduct post-marketing clinical trials;

requirements to institute a risk evaluation mitigation strategy, or REMS, to monitor safety of the product post-approval;

● warning letters issued by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

● withdrawal of the products from the market;

●

●

●

●

●

refusal to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications that we submit;

recall of products, fines, restitution or disgorgement of profits or revenue;

suspension, revocation or withdrawal of marketing approvals;

refusal to permit the import or export of our products; and

injunctions or the imposition of civil or criminal penalties.

We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing products. If we are unable to establish marketing
and sales capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate
product revenue.

We currently have no sales, marketing or distribution capabilities and have no experience as a company in marketing products. If we develop internal
sales, marketing and distribution organization, this would require significant capital expenditures, management resources and time, and we would have to
compete with other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to recruit, hire, train and retain marketing and sales personnel.

If  we  are  unable  or  decide  not  to  establish  internal  sales,  marketing  and  distribution  capabilities,  we  expect  to  pursue  collaborative  arrangements
regarding the sales, marketing and distribution of our products. However, we may not be able to establish or maintain such collaborative arrangements, or
if we are able to do so, their sales forces may not be successful in marketing our products. Any revenue we receive would depend upon the efforts of

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
such third parties, which may not be successful. We may have little or no control over the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of such third parties
and  our  revenue  from  product  sales  may  be  lower  than  if  we  had  commercialized  our  product  candidates  ourselves.  We  also  face  competition  in  our
search for third parties to assist us with the sales, marketing and distribution efforts of our product candidates. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to develop internal sales, marketing distribution capabilities or establish or maintain relationships with third-party collaborators to commercialize any
product in the United States or overseas.

We face substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and our operating results may suffer if we fail to
compete effectively.

The  development  and  commercialization  of  new  drug  products  is  highly  competitive.  We  expect  that  we  will  face  significant  competition  from  major
pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide with respect to INKmune, our DN-TNF product
platform,  and  any  other  of  our  product  candidates  that  we  may  seek  to  develop  or  commercialize  in  the  future.  Specifically,  due  to  the  large  unmet
medical need, global demographics and relatively attractive reimbursement dynamics, the oncology market is fiercely competitive and there are a number
of large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies that currently market and sell products or are pursuing the development of product candidates for
the treatment of cancer. Our competitors may succeed in developing, acquiring or licensing technologies and drug products that are more effective, have
fewer or more tolerable side effects or are less costly than any product candidates that we are currently developing or that we may develop, which could
render our product candidates obsolete and noncompetitive.

52

We rely on key personnel and, if we are unable to retain or motivate key personnel or hire qualified personnel, we may not be able to grow
effectively.

We  are  dependent  on  certain  members  of  our  management,  the  loss  of  services  of  one  or  more  of  whom  could  materially  adversely  affect  us.  In
particular,  our  success  depends  to  a  significant  extent  upon  the  continued  services  of  Dr.  Raymond  J.  Tesi,  our  President  and  CEO.  Dr.  Tesi  has
overseen  INmune  Bio  since  inception  and  provides  leadership  for  our  growth  and  operations  strategy  as  well  as  being  an  inventor  of  our  patents.
Although  we  have  entered  into  an  employment  agreement  with  Dr.  Tesi,  if  he  were  to  nevertheless  terminate  his  employment  with  us,  the  loss  of  the
services of Dr. Tesi, would have a material adverse effect on our growth, revenues, and prospective business. We are also highly dependent on the other
principal members of our management and scientific team. We are not aware of any present intention of any of our key personnel to leave our company
or  to  retire.  The  loss  of  any  of  our  key  personnel,  or  the  inability  to  attract  and  retain  qualified  personnel,  may  significantly  delay  or  prevent  the
achievement of our research, development or business objectives and could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

Our  ability  to  manage  growth  effectively  will  require  us  to  continue  to  implement  and  improve  our  management  systems  and  to  recruit  and  train  new
employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel.

Product  liability  lawsuits  against  us  could  divert  our  resources,  cause  us  to  incur  substantial  liabilities  and  limit  commercialization  of  any
products that we may develop.

We  face  an  inherent  risk  of  product  liability  claims  as  a  result  of  the  clinical  testing  of  our  product  candidate  despite  obtaining  appropriate  informed
consents from our clinical trial participants. We will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any product that we may develop. For example, we
may be sued if any product we develop allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or
sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the
product,  negligence,  strict  liability  or  a  breach  of  warranties.  Claims  could  also  be  asserted  under  state  consumer  protection  acts.  If  we  cannot
successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product
candidate. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

●

●

decreased demand for our product candidate or products that we may develop;

injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention;

● withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

●

●

●

●

●

significant costs to defend resulting litigation;

substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;

loss of revenue;

reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and

the inability to commercialize any products that we may develop.

Although we plan to maintain general liability insurance, this insurance may not fully cover potential liabilities that we may incur. The cost of any product
liability  litigation  or  other  proceeding,  even  if  resolved  in  our  favor,  could  be  substantial.  In  addition,  insurance  coverage  is  becoming  increasingly
expensive. If we are unable to obtain or maintain sufficient insurance coverage at an acceptable cost or to otherwise protect against potential product
liability claims, it could prevent or inhibit the development and commercial production and sale of our product candidate, which could adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

53

We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth.

To  execute  our  business  plan,  we  will  need  to  rapidly  add  other  management,  accounting,  regulatory,  manufacturing  and  scientific  staff.  We  currently

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
have  11  full  time  employees  and  retain  the  services  of  additional  personnel  on  an  independent  contractor  basis.  We  will  need  to  attract,  retain  and
motivate  a  significant  number  of  new  additional  managerial,  operational,  sales,  marketing,  financial,  and  other  personnel,  as  well  as  highly  skilled
scientific and medical personnel, and to expand our capabilities to successfully pursue our research, development, manufacturing and commercialization
efforts and secure collaborations to market and distribute our products. This growth may strain our existing managerial, operational, financial and other
resources.  We  also  intend  to  add  personnel  in  our  research  and  development  and  manufacturing  departments  as  we  expand  our  clinical  trial  and
research  capabilities.  Any  inability  to  attract  and  retain  qualified  employees  to  enable  our  planned  growth  and  establish  additional  capabilities  or  our
failure to manage our growth effectively could delay or curtail our product development and commercialization efforts and harm our business.

If we or any of our third-party manufacturers do not maintain high standards of manufacturing, our ability to develop and commercialize our
product candidate could be delayed or curtailed.

We and any third parties that we may use in the future to manufacture our products must continuously adhere to cGMP regulations rigorously enforced
by the FDA through its facilities inspection program. If our facilities or the facilities of third parties who produce our products do not pass a pre-approval
inspection, the FDA will not grant market approval for our product candidates. In complying with cGMP, we and any third-party manufacturers will need to
expend  significant  time,  money  and  effort  in  production,  record-keeping  and  quality  control  to  assure  that  each  component  of  our  product  candidates
meets  applicable  specifications  and  other  requirements.  We  or  any  of  these  third-party  manufacturers  may  also  be  subject  to  comparable  or  more
stringent  regulations  of  foreign  regulatory  authorities.  If  we  or  any  of  our  third-party  manufacturers  fail  to  comply  with  these  requirements,  we  may  be
subject to regulatory action, which could delay or curtail our ability to develop, obtain regulatory approval of, and commercialize our product candidates. If
our component part manufacturers and suppliers fail to provide components of sufficient quality, and that meet our required specifications, our clinical
trials or commercialization of our product candidates could be delayed or halted, and we could face product liability claims. There can be no assurance
we can manufacture a scalable quantity of our product for clinical trials or commercialization.

If we or our third-party manufacturers use hazardous and biological materials in a manner that causes injury or violates applicable law, we
may be liable for damages.

Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of potentially hazardous substances, including chemical and biological materials, by
us and any third-party manufacturers. We and such manufacturers will be subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations in the United States
governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of medical and hazardous materials. Although we will seek to ensure that our procedures
for using, storing and disposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or
injury resulting from medical or hazardous materials. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal
authorities may curtail the use of these materials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages
or  penalized  with  fines,  and  the  liability  could  exceed  our  resources.  We  do  not  have  any  insurance  for  liabilities  arising  from  medical  or  hazardous
materials. Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our
research, development and production efforts, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations.

We plan to rely on third parties to conduct clinical trials for our product candidates. Any failure by a third party to meet its obligations with
respect  to  the  clinical  development  of  our  product  candidate  may  delay  or  impair  our  ability  to  obtain  regulatory  approval  for  our  product
candidates.

We plan to rely on academic institutions and private oncology centers to conduct clinical trials relating to our product candidates. Our reliance on third
parties to conduct clinical trials could, depending on the actions of such third parties, jeopardize the validity of the clinical data generated and adversely
affect our ability to obtain marketing approval from the FDA or other applicable regulatory authorities.

Such  clinical  trial  arrangements  will  provide  us  with  information  rights  with  respect  to  the  clinical  data,  including  access  to  and  the  ability  to  use  and
reference  the  data,  including  for  our  own  regulatory  filings,  resulting  from  the  clinical  trials.  If  investigators  or  institutions  breach  their  obligations  with
respect to the clinical trials of our product candidate, or if the data proves to be inadequate, then our ability to design and conduct any future clinical trials
may be adversely affected.

54

Our  reliance  on  these  third  parties  for  research  and  development  activities  will  reduce  our  control  over  these  activities  but  will  not  relieve  us  of  our
responsibilities.  For  example,  we  will  design  our  clinical  trials  and  will  remain  responsible  for  ensuring  that  each  of  our  clinical  trials  is  conducted  in
accordance with the general investigational plan and protocols for the trial. Moreover, the FDA requires us to comply with standards, commonly referred
to as good clinical practices, or GCPs, for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are
credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial participants are protected. Our reliance on third parties that we do not control
will  not  relieve  us  of  these  responsibilities  and  requirements.  We  also  are  required  to  register  ongoing  clinical  trials  and  post  the  results  of  completed
clinical trials on a government-sponsored database, ClinicalTrials.gov, within specified timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity
and civil and criminal sanctions.

Furthermore,  these  third  parties  may  also  have  relationships  with  other  entities,  some  of  which  may  be  our  competitors.  If  these  third  parties  do  not
successfully carry out their contractual duties, meet expected deadlines or conduct our clinical trials in accordance with regulatory requirements or our
stated protocols, we will not be able to obtain, or may be delayed in obtaining, marketing approvals for our product candidate and will not be able to, or
may be delayed in our efforts to, successfully commercialize our product candidate.

We  also  expect  to  rely  on  other  third  parties  to  store  and  distribute  drug  supplies  for  our  clinical  trials.  Any  performance  failure  on  the  part  of  our
distributors could delay clinical development or marketing approval of our product candidate or commercialization of our products, producing additional
losses and depriving us of potential product revenue.

Recent legislative and regulatory activity may exert downward pressure on potential pricing and reimbursement for our products, if approved,
could materially affect our opportunity to commercialize such products.

The United States and several other jurisdictions are considering, or have already enacted, a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change
the  healthcare  system  in  ways  that  could  affect  our  ability  to  sell  any  of  our  products  profitably,  if  approved.  Among  policy-makers  and  payors  in  the
United  States  and  elsewhere,  there  is  significant  interest  in  promoting  changes  in  healthcare  systems  with  the  stated  goals  of  containing  healthcare
costs, improving quality and/or expanding access to healthcare. In the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has been a particular focus of these
efforts  and  has  been  significantly  affected  by  major  legislative  initiatives.  There  have  been,  and  likely  will  continue  to  be,  legislative  and  regulatory
proposals at the federal and state levels directed at broadening the availability of healthcare and containing or lowering the cost of healthcare. We cannot
predict the initiatives that may be adopted in the future. The continuing efforts of the government, insurance companies, managed care organizations and

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
other payors of healthcare services to contain or reduce costs of healthcare may adversely affect:

●

●

●

●

●

the demand for any of our products, if approved;

our ability to set a price that we believe is fair for any of our products, if approved;

our ability to generate revenues and achieve or maintain profitability;

the level of taxes that we are required to pay; and

the availability of capital.

In March 2010, the Affordable Care Act, or the ACA, became law in the United States (see “Business — Government Regulation”). The goal of ACA is to
reduce  the  cost  of  healthcare,  broaden  access  to  health  insurance,  constrain  healthcare  spending,  enhance  remedies  against  fraud  and  abuse,  add
transparency  requirements  for  the  healthcare  and  health  insurance  industries,  impose  taxes  and  fees  on  the  health  industry,  impose  additional  health
policy reforms, and substantially change the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. While we cannot predict what impact
on  federal  reimbursement  policies  this  legislation  will  have  in  general  or  on  our  business  specifically,  ACA  may  result  in  downward  pressure  on
pharmaceutical reimbursement, which could negatively affect market acceptance of any of our products, if they are approved.

55

We  cannot  predict  what  healthcare  reform  initiatives  may  be  adopted  in  the  future.  Further  federal,  state  and  foreign  legislative  and  regulatory
developments  are  likely,  and  we  expect  ongoing  initiatives  to  increase  pressure  on  drug  pricing.  Such  reforms  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on
anticipated  revenues  from  product  candidates  that  we  may  successfully  develop  and  for  which  we  may  obtain  regulatory  approval  and  may  affect  our
overall financial condition and ability to develop product candidates.

Changes in U.S. patent law could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing our ability to protect our products.

As is the case with other pharmaceutical companies, our success is heavily dependent on intellectual property, particularly on obtaining and enforcing
patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the pharmaceutical industry involves both technological and legal complexity, and therefore, is costly, time-
consuming  and  inherently  uncertain.  In  addition,  the  United  States  has  recently  enacted  and  is  currently  implementing  wide-ranging  patent  reform
legislation.  Further,  recent  U.S.  Supreme  Court  rulings  have  either  narrowed  the  scope  of  patent  protection  available  in  certain  circumstances  or
weakened the rights of patent owners in certain situations. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to our ability to obtain patents in the future,
this combination of events has created uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained.

In  September  2011,  the  Leahy-Smith  America  Invents  Act,  or  the  American  Invents  Act,  or  AIA,  was  signed  into  law.  The  AIA  includes  a  number  of
significant changes to U.S. patent law, including provisions that affect the way patent applications will be prosecuted and may also affect patent litigation.
The USPTO is currently developing regulations and procedures to govern administration of the AIA, and many of the substantive changes to patent law
associated  with  the  AIA.  It  is  not  clear  what  other,  if  any,  impact  the  AIA  will  have  on  the  operation  of  our  business.  Moreover,  the  AIA  and  its
implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of our patent application, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business and financial condition.

An important change introduced by the AIA is that, as of March 16, 2013, the United States transitioned to a “first-to-file” system for deciding which party
should be granted a patent when two or more patent applications are filed by different parties claiming the same invention. A third party that files a patent
application  in  the  USPTO  after  that  date  but  before  us  could  therefore  be  awarded  a  patent  covering  an  invention  of  ours  even  if  we  had  made  the
invention  before  it  was  made  by  the  third  party.  This  will  require  us  to  be  cognizant  going  forward  of  the  time  from  invention  to  filing  of  a  patent
application. Furthermore, our ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between our technology
and  the  prior  art  allow  our  technology  to  be  patentable  over  the  prior  art.  Since  patent  applications  in  the  United  States  and  most  other  countries  are
confidential  for  a  period  of  time  after  filing,  we  cannot  be  certain  that  we  were  the  first  to  either  (1)  file  any  patent  application  related  to  our  product
candidates or (2) invent any of the inventions claimed in our patents or patent applications.

Among  some  of  the  other  changes  introduced  by  the  AIA  are  changes  that  limit  where  a  patentee  may  file  a  patent  infringement  suit  and  providing
opportunities for third parties to challenge any issued patent in the USPTO. This applies to all of our U.S. patents, even those issued before March 16,
2013. Because of a lower evidentiary standard in USPTO proceedings compared to the evidentiary standard in United States federal court necessary to
invalidate a patent claim, a third party could potentially provide evidence in a USPTO proceeding sufficient for the USPTO to hold a claim invalid even
though the same evidence would be insufficient to invalidate the claim if first presented in a district court action. Accordingly, a third party may attempt to
use the USPTO procedures to invalidate our patent claims that would not have been invalidated if first challenged by the third party as a defendant in a
district court action.

56

The outbreak of COVID-19 may adversely affect our business and the market price of our common stock.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has broadly affected the global economy, resulted in significant travel and work restrictions in many regions and put a
significant  strain  on  healthcare  resources.  The  pandemic  has  had,  and  we  expect  it  will  continue  to  have,  an  impact  on  our  operations  and  on  the
operations of our collaborators, third-party contractors and other entities, including governmental agencies with which we interact. We have experienced
delays  in  obtaining  materials  and  supplies  needed  to  manufacture  our  product  candidates  as  a  result  of  production  shortages  experienced  by  our
suppliers.  Additionally,  at  times  we  have  been  subject  to  temporary  pauses  in  enrollment  and  dosing  implemented  by  some  clinical  trial  sites  due  to
COVID-19, and some clinical trial sites have also restricted initiation of new trials at times as well as visits by sponsors and clinical research organizations
(CROs) for ongoing trials to protect both site staff and patients from possible COVID-19 exposure.

The COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of new variants, has impacted, and may in the future impact, the clinical development of our product
candidates if we are subject to restrictions or limitations on, or delays in, the performance of study procedures (particularly any procedures that may be
deemed non-essential), participant dosing, distribution of our product candidates or clinical trial materials, study monitoring, or site inspections and data

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
analysis, including as a result of changes in hospital or research institution policies, federal, state or local regulations, prioritization of hospital and other
medical resources toward pandemic efforts, reduced availability of site staff supporting the conduct of clinical trials, heightened risks of exposure of study
participants, principal investigators or site staff to COVID-19 if an outbreak occurs in their geographic region, or other reasons related to the pandemic.
Quarantine  or  other  travel  limitations  (whether  voluntary  or  required)  also  may  impede  participant  movement,  affect  access  to  study  sites,  or  interrupt
healthcare services.

Furthermore,  the  pandemic  could  cause  delays  in  review  and  response  times  by  the  FDA  and  other  regulatory  agencies,  or  such  health  regulatory
agencies may refuse to accept data from our clinical trials due to mitigation strategies we implement in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and current
regulatory  guidance.  In  addition,  our  ability  to  manufacture  and  ship  our  product  candidates  for  our  clinical  trials  may  be  impacted  if  we,  or  any  third
parties  which  manufacture  and  supply  materials  used  in  either  the  manufacture  of  our  product  candidates  or  the  conduct  of  our  research  and
development  activities,  or  which  perform  certain  testing  relating  to  our  product  candidates,  are  adversely  impacted  by  restrictions  resulting  from  the
coronavirus outbreak. There is also the potential that manufacturing facilities, equipment, and materials required for manufacture or administration of our
product candidates could be commandeered under the Defense Production Act of 1950, or equivalent foreign legislation, which may make it more difficult
to obtain materials, equipment, or manufacturing slots necessary for the clinical supply of our product candidates.

The  extent  to  which  the  pandemic  affects  our  operations  and  the  research  and  development  of  our  product  candidates  will  depend  on  continuously
changing  circumstances,  which  are  highly  uncertain  and  cannot  be  predicted  with  confidence,  such  as  the  duration  of  the  pandemic,  including  the
emergence  of  new  variants  of  the  virus,  such  as  the  Delta  and  Omicron  variants,  which  may  impact  rates  of  infection  and  vaccination  efforts,
developments or perceptions regarding the safety of vaccines, future waves of infection, and the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the pandemic or
mitigate  its  impact,  including  vaccination  campaigns.  While  the  ultimate  impact  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  on  our  business  is  highly  uncertain,  any
negative impacts that materialize could materially adversely affect our clinical development and operations, financial performance and stock price.

A cybersecurity incident and other technology disruptions could negatively affect our business and our relationships with customers.

We use technology in substantially all aspects of our business operations. The widespread use of technology, including mobile devices, cloud computing,
and the internet, give rise to cybersecurity risks, including security breach, espionage, system disruption, theft and inadvertent release of information. Our
business  involves  the  storage  and  transmission  of  numerous  classes  of  sensitive  and/or  confidential  information  and  intellectual  property,  including
information relating to suppliers, private information about employees, and financial and strategic information about us and our business partners. If we
fail to effectively assess and identify cybersecurity risks associated with the use of technology in our business operations, we may become increasingly
vulnerable to such risks. Additionally, while we have implemented measures to prevent security breaches and cyber incidents, our preventative measures
and  incident  response  efforts  may  not  be  entirely  effective.  The  theft,  destruction,  loss,  misappropriation,  or  release  of  sensitive  and/or  confidential
information or intellectual property, or interference with our information technology systems or the technology systems of third parties on which we rely,
could  result  in  business  disruption,  negative  publicity,  brand  damage,  violation  of  privacy  laws,  loss  of  customers,  potential  liability  and  competitive
disadvantage.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We  have  paid  no  dividends  on  our  common  stock  to  date,  and  we  do  not  anticipate  paying  any  dividends  to  holders  of  our  common  stock  in  the
foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we anticipate that we will
retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. As an investor, you should take note of the fact that
a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our common stock, and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of federal securities laws, which can be expensive and may divert resources from other projects,
thus impairing our ability grow.

We  are  a  public  reporting  company  and,  accordingly,  subject  to  the  information  and  reporting  requirements  of  the  Exchange  Act  and  other  federal
securities  laws,  including  compliance  with  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  of  2002  (the  “Sarbanes-Oxley  Act”).  The  costs  of  preparing  and  filing  annual  and
quarterly reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC and furnishing audited reports to stockholders would cause our expenses to be
higher than they would be if we remained privately held.

It may be time consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-
Oxley Act. We may need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other finance personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate
internal controls and reporting procedures.

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and if we decide
to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, our common stock
could be less attractive to investors.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of
$1.07 billion or more, (2) December 31, 2024 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering),
(3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt, and (4) the date on which we
are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act (i.e., the first day of the fiscal
year  after  we  have  (a)  more  than  $700.0  million  in  outstanding  common  equity  held  by  our  non-affiliates,  measured  each  year  on  the  last  day  of  our
second fiscal quarter, and (b) been public for at least 12 months).

Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow us to take
advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements
of  Section  404  of  the  Sarbanes-Oxley  Act  and  reduced  disclosure  obligations  regarding  executive  compensation  in  our  periodic  reports  and  proxy
statements. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find
our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our stock price may be volatile.

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
beyond our control, including the following:

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

changes in our industry;

competitive pricing pressures;

58

our ability to obtain working capital financing;

additions or departures of key personnel;

limited  “public  float”  in  the  hands  of  a  small  number  of  persons  whose  sales  or  lack  of  sales  could  result  in  positive  or  negative  pricing
pressure on the market price for our common stock;

sales of our common stock;

our ability to execute our business plan;

operating results that fall below expectations;

loss of any strategic relationship;

regulatory developments;

economic and other external factors;

period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and

inability to develop or acquire new or needed technology or products.

In  addition,  the  securities  markets  have  from  time  to  time  experienced  significant  price  and  volume  fluctuations  that  are  unrelated  to  the  operating
performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

You may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock.

Our securities are not actively traded, and the bid and asked prices for our common stock may fluctuate widely. As a result, investors may find it difficult
to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, our securities. This severely limits the liquidity of the common stock and would likely reduce
the market price of our common stock and hamper our ability to raise additional capital. There is a limited market for our securities. Accordingly, investors
may therefore bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities thereof, for an indefinite period of time.

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.

Given  our  plans  and  expectations  that  we  may  need  additional  capital  and  personnel,  we  may  need  to  issue  additional  shares  of  common  stock  or
securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. The
issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

Anti-takeover provisions in our stockholder rights plan could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult.

We  have  a  stockholder  rights  plan  that  may  have  the  effect  of  discouraging  unsolicited  takeover  proposals.  Specifically,  the  rights  issued  under  the
stockholder rights plan could cause significant dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms not approved in advance by our board of
directors. The rights plan is not intended to prevent a takeover, and we believe it will enable all our stockholders to realize the full potential value of their
investment in the Company and protect the Company and its stockholders from efforts to obtain control of the Company that are inconsistent with the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The rights under the plan will expire on December 30, 2022, subject to a possible earlier expiration to
the extent provided in the stockholder rights plan, unless extended.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company leases approximately 5,000 square feet of office space in Boca Raton, Florida from a third-party, which serves as the headquarters of the
Company. We currently pay approximately $10,000 per month for this sublease which expires in January 2027.

Common Stock

Our common stock trades under the symbol “INMB” on the Nasdaq and has been publicly traded since February 4, 2019. Prior to this time, there was no
public market for our common stock.

As of December 31, 2021, there were 26 holders of record of our common stock. Because shares of our common stock are held by depositories, brokers
and other nominees, the number of beneficial holders of our shares is substantially larger than the number of record holders.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared any cash dividends on our common stock since inception and do not anticipate paying such dividends in the foreseeable future.
We  plan  to  retain  any  future  earnings  for  use  in  our  business  operations.  Any  decisions  as  to  future  payment  of  cash  dividends  will  depend  on  our
earnings and financial position and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

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

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our financial statements and
notes  thereto  appearing  elsewhere  in  this  Annual  Report.  In  addition  to  historical  financial  information,  the  following  discussion  and  analysis  contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these
forward-looking  statements  as  a  result  of  many  factors.  We  discuss  factors  that  we  believe  could  cause  or  contribute  to  these  differences  below  and
elsewhere in this Form 10-K, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

We are a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on developing drugs that may reprogram the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease.
We believe this may be done by targeting cells of the innate immune system that cause acute and chronic inflammation and are involved in the immune
dysfunction associated with chronic diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. The Company has two therapeutic platforms – dominant-
negative TNF platform (“DN-TNF”) and the Natural Killer (“NK”) platform. The DN-TNF platform neutralizes soluble TNF (“sTNF”) without affecting trans-
membrane  TNF  (“tmTNF”)  or  TNF  receptors  -TNFR1  and  TNFR2.  This  unique  biologic  mechanism  differentiates  the  DN-TNF  drugs  from  currently
approved non-selective TNF inhibitors that inhibit both sTNF and tmTNF. Protecting the function of tmTNF while neutralizing the function of sTNF is a
potent  anti-inflammatory  strategy  that  does  not  cause  immunosuppression  or  demyelination  which  occur  in  the  currently  approved  non-selective  TNF
inhibitors. Currently approved non-selective TNF inhibitors are approved to treat autoimmune disease, but are contraindicated in patients with infection,
cancer and neurologic diseases because they increase the risk of infection, cancer and demyelinating neurologic diseases, respectively; all the safety
problems  are  due  to  off-target  effects  on  inhibiting  tmTNF.  The  NK  platform  targets  the  dysfunctional  natural  killer  cells  (“NK  cells”)  in  patients  with
cancer. NK cells are part of the normal immunologic response to cancer with important roles in immunosurveillance to prevent cancer and in preventing
relapse by eliminating residual disease. Residual disease is the cancer left behind after therapy is finished. Residual disease, can grow to cause relapse.
The  NK  cells  of  cancer  patients  loses  the  ability  to  bind  and  kill  cancer  cells.  The  strength  of  the  bond  of  binding  to  cancer  cells,  called  avidity,  is  a
necessary step NK killing of cancer cells. INKmune improves avidity of the patients NK cells to overcome the immune evasion of the patient’s cancer
cells. We believe INKmune is best used to eliminate residual disease after the patient has completed other cancer therapies. Both the DN-TNF platform
and the INKmune platform can be used to treat multiple diseases. The DN-TNF platform will be used as an immunotherapy for the treatment of cancer
and neurodegenerative disease. INKmune is being developed to treat NK sensitive hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. 

We believe our DN-TNF platform can be used as a cancer therapy to reverse resistance in immunotherapy and as a CNS therapy to target glial activation
to  prevent  progression  of  Alzheimer’s  disease  (“AD”),  and  to  target  neuroinflammation  in  treatment  resistant  depression  (“TRD”).  The  drug  is  named
differently for the oncology and CNS indications; INB03 or XPro, respectively, but it is the same drug product. In each case, we believe neutralizing sTNF
is  a  cornerstone  to  the  treatment  of  these  diseases.  As  an  immunotherapy  for  cancer,  we  are  using  INB03  to  neutralize  sTNF  produced  by  HER2+
trastuzumab resistant breast cancers to reverse resistance to therapy. sTNF causes an up-regulation of MUC4 expression that causes steric hindrance of
trastuzumab binding to the HER2/Neu receptor on HER2+ breast cancer cells. Without binding, trastuzumab is not effective. In addition, INB03 changes
the immunobiology of the tumor microenvironment by decreasing the number of immunosuppressive myeloid cells, both myeloid derived suppressor cells
and  tumor  active  macrophages,  and  increasing  the  number  of  cytotoxic  lymphocytes  in  the  TME.  The  Company  has  completed  an  open  label  dose
escalation trial in cancer patients with metastatic solid tumors that have failed multiple lines of therapy. The trial informs the design of the Phase II trial by
demonstrating  that  INB03  was  safe  and  well  tolerated,  defined  the  dose  of  INB03  to  carry  into  Phase  II  trials,  and  demonstrated  a  pharmacodynamic
end-point. A Phase II trial is planned in women with advanced MUC4+ breast cancer with advanced disease.

Likewise, we believe the DN-TNF platform can be used to treat selected neurodegenerative diseases by modifying the brain microenvironment (BME).
The Company believes the core pathology of cognitive decline is a combination of neurodegeneration and synaptic dysfunction. XPro completed a Phase
I trial treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease that was partially funded by a Part-the-Clouds Award from the Alzheimer’s Association. We believe XPro
targets activated microglia and astrocytes of the brain that produce sTNF that promotes  nerve  cell  loss  and  synaptic  dysfunction,  key  elements  in  the
development  of  dementia.  In  animal  models,  elimination  of  sTNF  prevents  nerve  cell  dysfunction  and  reverses  synaptic  pruning.  The  Phase  I  trial  in
patients with biomarkers of inflammation with AD has been completed. The open label, dose escalation trial is designed to demonstrate that XPro can
safely decrease neuroinflammation in patients with AD. The endpoints of the trial are measures of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in blood
and cerebral spinal fluid, measures of neuroinflammation by measuring cytokines in the CSF and MRI by measuring white matter free water. XPro, at the
1mg/kg/week  dose  decreased  inflammatory  cytokines  in  the  CSF  and  white  matter  free  water  in  the  brain  demonstrating  that  XPro  can  decrease
neuroinflammation  in  patients  with  AD.  We  also  studied  downstream  benefits  of  decreasing  neuroinflammation  by  measuring  changes  in  the  CSF
proteome and quantifying changes in novel white matter MRI biomarkers. XPro significantly decreases biomarkers of neurodegeneration as measured by
changes in the CSF proteome including neurofilament light chain, phospho Tau 217 and VILIP-1; decreases of 84%, 46% and 91% respectively after 3
months of therapy. Three months of XPro therapy improved measures of synaptic function, as measured in the CSF proteome including a 222% increase
in Contactin 2 and a 56% decrease neurogranin, proteins that contribute to improved synaptic function.

The successful completion of the Phase I trial in AD has informed the design of two Phase II trials in patients with AD; one in mild AD and the other in
MCI. The mild AD trial will be a blinded randomized trial to test if treatment of mild AD patients with neuroinflammation will affect cognitive decline. The
Phase II trial has six important elements. Two hundred patients will be enrolled in a 2:1 ratio (XPro vs placebo). The patients will receive 1mg/kg/week as
a  subcutaneous  injection  for  six  months.  An  enrichment  strategy  identical  to  the  successful  strategy  used  in  the  Phase  I  trial  will  be  used  to  ensure
patients have neuroinflammation. Patients will need to have some combination of elevated C-reactive protein, hemoglobin A1c, erythrocyte sedimentation
rated in the blood and at least one allele of ApoE4. The primary end-point will be Early/mild Alzheimer’s Cognitive Composite (“EMACC”), a validated
cognitive measure that is more sensitive than traditional end-points used in many studies of patients with early AD. The trial will be performed in North
America and Australia, is expected to start enrolling patients in early 2022. We expect top-line clinical data to be available late-2023. All patients will be
offered to stay on therapy for at least 12 months in an extension trial. Clinical and biomarker data will be collected during the extension trial.

The second Phase II trial will be a blinded randomized trial in patients with MCI in which the Company plans to enroll 60 patients in two arms in a 2:1
ratio (1mg/kg/week XPro, placebo). Patients will be treated for 3 months. Patients must have at least one ApoE4 allele to qualify for the trial. The primary
end-point  is  EMACC,  a  sensitive  cognitive  end-point  validated  for  use  in  patients  with  early  AD.  Secondary  clinical  endpoints  include  the  CDR-SB,
Cogstate Battery, E-Cog, NPI, and ADCS-ADL. Imaging endpoints of neuroinflammation (White matter free water), white matter integrity (apparent fiber
density,  radial  diffusivity),  and  gray  matter  quality  (cortical  disarray  measurement)  will  be  assessed  via  MRI.  Changes  in  brain  metabolism  will  be
assessed via FDG-PET. Additional secondary measures of function include EEG, and speech and language. All patients will be eligible to continue on
XPro  for  at  least  9  additional  months.  Clinical  and  MRI  metrics  will  be  followed  during  the  extension  trial.    The  Company  may  amend  the  clinical  trial
design from time-to-time to improve the quality of the data or the probability of success. 

Effective therapy for TRD is a large unmet need. Twenty percent of patients with a Major Depressive Disorder have TRD. Once third of TRD patients
have peripheral biomarkers to inflammation (elevated CRP). This is a large patient population. The role of TNF and anti-TNF therapeutics was explored in
a small open label clinical trial by Prof. Andrew Miller, MD of Emory University demonstrated the patients have elevated TNF levels and treatment with
infliximab treated their depression (Miller, 2011). The Company received a $2.9M USD award from the National Institute of Mental Health (“NIMH”) to
treat TRD with XPro. The blinded, randomized Phase II trial will use a biomarkers of peripheral inflammation to select patients with TRD for enrollment.
Patients  will  be  treated  for  6  weeks.  Primary  end-points  include  both  clinical  and  neuroimaging  measures.  The  final  trial  design  has  is  ongoing  and
discussions with the FDA are not complete. The Company anticipates receiving authorization to initiate the clinical trial in the second half of 2022.

We believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor. INKmune interacts with the patient’s NK cells to convert
them from inert resting NK cells into memory-like NK cells that kill the patient’s cancer cells. INKmune is a replication incompetent proprietary cell line
that  is  given  to  the  patient  after  determining  that  i)  the  patient  has  adequate  NK  cells  in  their  circulation  and  ii)  those  NK  cells  are  functional  when
exposed  to  INKmune  in  vitro.  INKmune  is  designed  to  be  given  to  patients  after  their  immune  system  has  recovered  after  cytotoxic  chemotherapy  to
target  the  residual  disease  the  remains  after  treatment  with  cytotoxic  therapy.  We  believe  INKmune  can  be  used  to  treat  numerous  hematologic
malignancies  and  solid  tumors  including  leukemia,  multiple  myeloma,  lymphoma,  lung,  ovary,  breast,  renal  and  prostate  cancer.  The  Company  has
initiated a Phase I trial using INKmune to treat patients with high risk MDS, a form of leukemia. One patient has been treated in the Phase I trial. In the
single patient, INKmune therapy is safe, produces memory-like NK cells that kill cancer in vitro, promotes development of cancer killing memory-like NK
cells that can be found in the patient’s circulation of 4 months. The Company will continue to enroll patients in the Phase I trial with a goal of completing
patient enrollment in 2022. The Company intends to treat women with relapsed refractory ovarian in separate Phase I trial beginning during 2022.

The Company has presented pre-clinical data on the use of DN-TNF to treat non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”). The Company has decided to defer
the NASH program for the near future due to the complex and evolving clinical and regulatory environment. The Company may choose to reactivate the
program or abandon the program in the future.

Since our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates, including
clinical  trials  and  preclinical  studies  as  well  as  general  and  administrative  support  for  these  operations.  To  date,  we  have  generated  no  significant
revenue. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately
$63.7 million. Our net losses were $30,340,000 and $12,099,000 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Substantially all of our
net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated
with our operations, including stock-based compensation.

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
Company’s  business  is  highly  uncertain  and  difficult  to  predict.  Also,  economies  worldwide  have  also  been  negatively  impacted  by  the  COVID-19
pandemic, however policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole.
The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

In addition, the Company’s clinical trials have been affected by and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical site initiation and
patient enrollment have and may continue to be delayed due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic. Some patients have

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
not and others may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly,
the ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-
19, may adversely impact the Company’s clinical trial operations.

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the
duration  and  severity  of  the  pandemic  and  the  extent  and  severity  of  the  impact  on  the  Company’s  service  providers,  suppliers,  contract  research
organizations (“CROs”) and the Company’s clinical trials, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s
financial  statements,  the  extent  to  which  the  COVID-19  pandemic  may  materially  impact  the  Company’s  financial  condition,  liquidity  or  results  of
operations is uncertain.

64

As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As an
emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to
public companies. These provisions include:

●

●

●

●

●

only  two  years  of  audited  financial  statements  in  addition  to  any  required  unaudited  interim  financial  statements  with  correspondingly
reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;

exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and

delaying the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those
standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such
earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.07 billion
in  annual  revenues,  we  have  more  than  $700  million  in  market  value  of  our  stock  held  by  non-affiliates,  or  we  issue  more  than  $1  billion  of  non-
convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens.

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

Research and development expense consists of expenses incurred while performing research and development activities to discover and develop our
product candidates. This includes conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacturing development efforts and activities related to regulatory
filings for product candidates. We recognize research and development expenses as they are incurred. Our research and development expense primarily
consist of:

●

●

clinical trial and regulatory-related costs;

expenses incurred under agreements with investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials;

● manufacturing and testing costs and related supplies and materials; and

●

employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation

We typically use our employee, consultant and infrastructure resources across our development programs. We track outsourced development costs by
product candidate or development program, but we do not allocate personnel costs, other internal costs or external consultant costs to specific product
candidates or development programs.

We  participate,  through  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary  in  Australia,  in  the  Australian  research  and  development  tax  incentive  program,  such  that  a
percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as
a  reduction  of  research  and  development  expense.  The  Australian  research  and  development  tax  incentive  is  recognized  when  there  is  reasonable
assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.

65

We participate, through our wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, in the research and development program provided by the United Kingdom
tax relief program, such that a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the United Kingdom government,
and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax incentive is
recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the
consideration can be reliably measured. During 2022, the Company expects to receive a research and development tax rebate for eligible expenditures
incurred in 2021, however the Company will be ineligible for research and development tax incentives for expenditures incurred after 2021 as a result of
changes in the United Kingdom tax relief program.

Substantially all of our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with our current and future product candidates. We
expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future as we advance an increased number of our product
candidates through clinical development, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials and manufacturing drug to be used in those clinical trials. The

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
process  of  conducting  clinical  trials  necessary  to  obtain  regulatory  approval  is  costly  and  time  consuming.  The  successful  development  of  product
candidates is highly uncertain. At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of
any product candidates. This is due to the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of product candidates.

The costs of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project owing to, but not limited to, the following:

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

●

per patient trial costs;

the number of sites included in the clinical trials;

the countries in which the clinical trials are conducted;

the length of time required to enroll eligible patients;

the number of patients that participate in the clinical trials;

the number of doses that patients receive;

the cost of comparative agents used in clinical trials;

the drop-out or discontinuation rates of patients;

potential additional safety monitoring or other studies requested by regulatory agencies;

the duration of patient follow-up;

the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate; and

the cost of manufacturing, finishing, labeling and storage drug used in the clinical trial

We do not expect any of our product candidates to be commercially available for at least the next several years, if ever. We expect to continue to incur
significant  expenses  and  increasing  operating  losses  for  the  foreseeable  future,  which  may  fluctuate  significantly  from  quarter-to-quarter  and  year-to-
year. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially as we:

●

●

●

●

continue research and development, including preclinical and clinical development of our existing product candidates;

potentially seek regulatory approval for our product candidates;

66

seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;

establish a commercialization infrastructure and scale up our manufacturing and distribution capabilities to commercialize any of our product
candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval;

●

seek to comply with regulatory standards and laws;

● maintain, leverage and expand our intellectual property portfolio;

●

●

●

hire  clinical,  manufacturing,  scientific  and  other  personnel  to  support  our  product  candidates  development  and  future  commercialization
efforts;

add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel; and

incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in operating as a public company.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of payroll and personnel expenses, including stock-based compensation; professional fees for
legal,  consulting,  accounting  and  tax  services;  insurance,  overhead,  including  rent  and  utilities;  and  other  general  operating  expenses  not  otherwise
classified as research and development expenses.

Other income (expense)

Other expense consists primarily of interest expense incurred on debt in 2021. Other income primarily consists of income from a settlement in 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This  management’s  discussion  and  analysis  of  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  is  based  on  our  financial  statements,  which  we  have
prepared  in  accordance  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States.  The  preparation  of  our  financial  statements  requires  us  to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date  of  our  financial  statements,  as  well  as  the  reported  revenues  and  expenses  during  the  reported  periods.  We  evaluate  these  estimates  and
judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consists of in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), on an
annual basis or more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. An impairment of indefinite-lived intangible assets would occur if the fair value of the
intangible  asset  is  less  than  the  carrying  value.  Intangible  assets  with  finite  lives  are  tested  for  impairment  when  events  or  changes  in  circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If these facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses for recovery by
comparing the carrying values of the assets with their future undiscounted net cash flows. Significant management judgment is required in the forecast of
future operating results that are used in the preparation of expected undiscounted cash flows.

67

IPR&D assets are considered to be indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development projects. During the
period  the  assets  are  considered  indefinite-lived,  they  are  tested  for  impairment.  If  the  related  project  is  terminated  or  abandoned,  the  Company  may
have a full or partial impairment related to the IPR&D assets, calculated as the excess of their carrying value over fair value. The valuation process is
very complex and requires significant input and judgment using internal and external sources with respect to the Company’s future revenue and expense
growth rates, changes in working capital use, the selection of an appropriate discount rate, and other assumptions and estimates.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

R&D expenses consist primarily of costs related to clinical studies and outside services, personnel expenses, and other R&D expenses. Clinical studies
and  outside  services  costs  relate  primarily  to  services  performed  by  clinical  research  organizations  and  related  clinical  or  development  manufacturing
costs,  materials  and  supplies,  filing  fees,  regulatory  support,  and  other  third-party  fees.  Personnel  expenses  relate  primarily  to  salaries,  benefits  and
share-based compensation. R&D expenditures are charged to operations as incurred.

We recognize R&D tax credits receivable from the United Kingdom and Australian government for spending on R&D as an offset of R&D expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

We  measure  and  recognize  compensation  expense  for  all  stock-based  awards  granted  to  service  providers,  employees,  and  directors  based  on  the
estimated fair value of the award on the grant date. We calculate the estimated fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model, which is impacted by the fair value of our common stock, as well as changes in assumptions regarding a number of highly complex
and  subjective  variables.  These  variables  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  the  market  value  of  common  stock  on  the  grant  date,  the  expected  dividend
yield, the expected term of the awards, the risk-free interest rates and the expected common stock price volatility over the term of the option awards. The
expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of a few unrelated public companies within our industry over the most recent period commensurate
with  the  estimated  expected  term  of  our  stock  options  as  we  have  insufficient  historical  information  regarding  the  volatility  of  the  share  price  of  our
common stock. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of
grant. We have never declared or paid dividends and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.

We  recognize  the  fair  value  of  stock  options  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  period  during  which  a  service  provider  is  required  to  provide  services  in
exchange for the award (generally the vesting period). We account for forfeitures as they occur.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under SEC rules.

Licensing and Collaboration Agreements

We  anticipate  that  in-licensing,  out-licensing  and  strategic  collaborations  will  become  an  integral  part  of  our  operations,  providing  the  company  with
opportunities  to  leverage  our  partners’  expertise  and  capabilities  to  further  expand  the  potential  of  our  technologies,  product  candidates  and  revenue
streams.

Xencor

In October 2017, we licensed INB03 (also known as XPro) from Xencor. This exclusive, global, unrestricted license came with considerable know-how,
intellectual  property,  pre-clinical  data,  regulatory  documentation  and  product  stocks.  Currently,  we  are  focused  on  the  immune-oncology  uses  of  this
unique  asset.  In  the  future,  we  may  develop  the  asset  in  a  wide  variety  of  therapeutic  areas,  with  a  variety  of  delivery  techniques  by  ourselves  or  in
conjunction with partners.

Revenues

During 2021, the Company sold MSC’s to three customers and recognized $181,000 of revenues. We recorded $11,000 of revenues in 2020 as a result
of selling MSC’s to one customer.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $8.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $6.3 million for the year ended December
31,  2020.  The  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to  higher  professional  fees  ($1.0  million  higher  in  2021),  higher  stock-based  compensation  expense
($0.6 million higher in 2021), and higher salary expense ($0.5 million higher in 2021).

Research and Development

Research and development expenses increased to $20.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $5.9 million for the year ended December
31, 2020. The increase in research and development expenses during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 is due to $5.4 million of
higher expenses for the Alzheimer’s clinical program, $1.9 million of higher expenses on the COVID-19 clinical trial, and due to the Company incurring
$5.5 million of higher manufacturing costs in connection with producing its DN-TNF product. In addition, the Company’s stock-based compensation was
$1.1 million higher in 2021 compared to 2020.

Other Expense (Income)

Other expense increased during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to 2020 as a result of the  incurring $1.0 million of interest expense from a
loan the Company obtained in June 2021. During 2020, the Company received a refund from a third-party vendor pursuant to a release and settlement
agreement of approximately $0.1 million for services provided in a previous year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity  is  the  ability  of  a  company  to  generate  funds  to  support  its  current  and  future  operations,  satisfy  its  obligations  and  otherwise  operate  on  an
ongoing basis.

We  incurred  a  net  loss  of  $30,340,000  and  $12,099,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Net  cash  used  in  operating
activities  was  $28,504,000  and  $8,943,000  for  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Since  inception,  we  have  funded  our
operations primarily with proceeds from the sales of our common stock and from the receipts of grants. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash
equivalents of $74.8 million. We anticipate that operating losses and net cash used in operating activities will increase over the next few years as we
advance our products under development.

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, third-party clinical and preclinical research and development services, costs incurred
to manufacture our drugs under development, compensation and related expenses, legal, patent and other regulatory expenses and general overhead
costs. We believe our use of CROs provides us with flexibility in managing our spending.

The Company incurs the majority of its research and development expenses in Australia and the United Kingdom. Fluctuations in the rate of exchange
between the United States dollar and the pound sterling as well as the Australian dollar could adversely affect our financial results, including our expenses
as  well  as  assets  and  liabilities.  We  currently  do  not  hedge  foreign  currencies  but  will  continue  to  assess  whether  that  strategy  is  appropriate.  As  of
December 31, 2021, the cash balance held by our foreign subsidiaries with currencies other than the United States dollar was approximately $0.2 million.
We do not have any material financial exposure to one customer or one country that would significantly hinder our liquidity.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $63.7 million and working capital of $78.2 million. Losses have principally occurred
as a result of the substantial resources required for research and development of the Company’s products which included the general and administrative
expenses  associated  with  its  organization  and  product  development,  as  well  as  the  lack  of  sources  of  material  revenues  until  such  time  as  the
Company’s products are commercialized. As of December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $74.8 million. We believe our cash and cash
equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months following the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Registered Direct Offering

During July 2021, the Company completed a registered direct offering whereby the Company sold 1,818,182 shares of its common stock to investors for
net proceeds of $36.9 million.

ATM Sales Agreements

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we issued and sold 178,600 shares of common stock at an average price of $5.45 per share under the 2020
ATM agreement. The aggregate net proceeds were approximately $0.8 million after BTIG’s commission and other offering expenses. 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we issued and sold 1,439,480 shares of common stock at an average price of $20.17 per share under the
2020  ATM  agreement.  The  aggregate  net  proceeds  were  approximately  $28.4  million  after  BTIG’s  commission  and  other  offering  expenses.  As  of
December 31, 2021, sales of our common stock pursuant to the 2020 ATM have been completed. 

During March 2021, the Company entered into the 2021 ATM agreement with BTIG, as sales agent, to establish an ATM offering of up to $45 million of
common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 713,192 shares at an average price per share of $21.73 for net proceeds
of approximately $14.9 million under the 2021 ATM agreement.

Term Loan

On June 10, 2021, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with SVB and an affiliate of SVB, providing for a $15.0 million term loan. The Term
Loan also provides for us to request an additional $5.0 million term loan from the Lenders, which may be granted or denied at the sole discretion of the
Lenders. The Term Loan provides for an annual interest rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate then in effect as reported in The Wall Street Journal
plus 4.50% and (ii) 7.75% and also includes a final payment fee equal to 6.5% of the original principal amount borrowed payable on the earlier of the

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
repayment  of  the  loan  in  full  and  the  maturity  date.  The  Company  used  the  proceeds  of  the  term  loan  to  fund  the  cash  consideration  for  the  Option
Cancellation Agreement with Xencor.

The Lincoln Park Transaction

On May 15, 2019, the Company and Lincoln Park entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company had
the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $20.0 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the
Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company issued 196,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Lincoln Park
for gross proceeds of $1,003,000. During April 2021, the Company terminated the Purchase Agreement.

Our cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by our net loss.

Operating activities used $28.5 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily resulting from our net loss of $30.3 million, a net cash
outflow  of  $3.1  million  for  changes  in  our  net  operating  assets  and  liabilities,  and  non-cash  stock-based  compensation  charges  of  $4.8  million.  The
change in our net operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to an increase in research and development tax credit receivable of $3.2 million and
an increase in prepaid expenses of $2.1 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.2 million.

Operating activities used $8.9 million of cash for the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily resulting from our net loss of $12.1 million, partially offset
by non-cash stock-based compensation charges of $3.1 million.

Investing Activities

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of
INmune Bio, Inc.
Boca Raton, Florida

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of INmune Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial
statements  based  on  our  audits.  We  are  a  public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States)
(“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  PCAOB.  Those  standards  require  that  we  plan  and  perform  the  audits  to  obtain
reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material  misstatement,  whether  due  to  error  or  fraud.  The  Company  is  not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain
an  understanding  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  but  not  for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and
performing  procedures  that  respond  to  those  risks.  Such  procedures  included  examining,  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  regarding  the  amounts  and
disclosures  in  the  financial  statements.  Our  audits  also  included  evaluating  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization and Business Overview

INmune Bio, Inc. (the “Company” or “INmune Bio”) was organized in the State of Nevada on September 25, 2015, and is a clinical stage biotechnology
pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing its product candidates to treat diseases where the innate immune system is not
functioning normally and contributing to the patient’s disease. INmune Bio has two product platforms. The DN-TNF product platform utilizes dominant-
negative technology to selectively neutralize soluble TNF, a key driver of innate immune dysfunction and mechanistic target of many diseases. DN-TNF is
currently  being  developed  for  Alzheimer’s  and  treatment  resistant  depression  (XPro)  and  cancer  (INB03).  The  Natural  Killer  Cell  Priming  Platform
includes INKmune aimed at priming the patient’s NK cells to eliminate minimal residual disease in patients with cancer. INmune Bio’s product platforms
utilize a precision medicine approach for the treatment of a wide variety of hematologic malignancies, solid tumors and chronic inflammation.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(“US GAAP”) in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 
 
 
   
 
 
    
  
   
      
  
   
   
   
      
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
   
      
  
   
      
  
   
   
 
   
      
  
   
      
  
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
   
      
  
   
 
   
      
  
   
   
 
   
      
  
   
      
  
 
   
      
  
   
      
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The  consolidated  financial  statements  herein  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  US  GAAP  and  include  the  accounts  of  INmune  Bio,  its  wholly-
owned  UK  subsidiary,  and  its  wholly-owned  Australia  subsidiary  (collectively,  the  “Company”).  All  significant  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions
have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 63,715,000 and experienced losses since its inception. Losses have principally
occurred  as  a  result  of  the  substantial  resources  required  for  research  and  development  of  the  Company’s  products,  which  included  the  general  and
administrative  expenses  associated  with  its  organization  and  product  development  as  well  as  the  lack  of  sources  of  revenues  until  such  time  as  the
Company’s products are commercialized.

F-6

To meet its current and future obligations the Company has taken the following steps to capitalize the business and achieve its business plan: 

● During July 2021, the Company completed a registered direct public offering in which it sold  1,818,182 shares of common stock to investors

for estimated net proceeds of $36.9 million.

● During June 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement and drew down a $ 15.0 million term loan.

● During March 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement with BTIG, LLC (“BTIG”), as agent, to establish an At-The-Market (“ATM”)
offering of up to $45 million of common stock (the “2021 ATM”), subject to certain limitations on the amount of common stock that may be
offered and sold by the Company set forth in the sales agreement. The Company is required to pay BTIG a commission of 3% of the gross
proceeds from the sale of shares. The Company has sold 713,192 shares of its common stock at an average price of $ 21.73 through the
2021 ATM for net proceeds of $14.9 million.

● During April 2020, the Company entered into a sales agreement with BTIG, as sales agent, to establish an ATM offering to sell up to $ 10.0
million  of  the  Company’s  common  stock  (the  “2020  ATM”).  In  August  2020,  the  sales  agreement  was  amended  whereby  the  aggregate
offering was increased from $10.0 million to $ 30.0 million. From April 2020 through December 2020, the Company sold  178,600 shares of
common stock at an average price of $5.45 per share for net proceeds of approximately $ 0.8 million. During the year ended December 31,
2021, the Company sold in aggregate 1,439,480 shares on common stock at an average price of $ 20.17 per share for net proceeds of $ 28.4
million. As of December 31, 2021, sales of our common stock pursuant to the 2020 ATM have been completed.

Although it is difficult to predict the Company’s liquidity requirements, as of December 31, 2021, and based upon the Company’s current operating plan,
the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash to meet its projected operating requirements for at least the next 12 months following the filing date
of this Annual Report on Form 10-K based on the balance of cash available as of December 31, 2021. The Company anticipates that it will continue to
incur net losses for the foreseeable future as it continues the development of its clinical drug candidates and preclinical programs and incurs additional
costs associated with being a public company.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
Company’s  business  is  highly  uncertain  and  difficult  to  predict.  Also,  economies  worldwide  have  also  been  negatively  impacted  by  the  COVID-19
pandemic, however policymakers around the globe have responded with fiscal policy actions to support the healthcare industry and economy as a whole.
The magnitude and overall effectiveness of these actions remain uncertain.

In addition, the Company’s clinical trials have been affected by and may continue to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Clinical site initiation and
patient enrollment have and may continue to be delayed due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the COVID-19 pandemic. Some patients have
not and others may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. Similarly,
the ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-
19, may adversely impact the Company’s clinical trial operations.

The severity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the
duration  and  severity  of  the  pandemic  and  the  extent  and  severity  of  the  impact  on  the  Company’s  service  providers,  suppliers,  contract  research
organizations (“CROs”) and the Company’s clinical trials, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. As of the date of issuance of Company’s
financial  statements,  the  extent  to  which  the  COVID-19  pandemic  may  materially  impact  the  Company’s  financial  condition,  liquidity  or  results  of
operations is uncertain.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of  three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
holds cash in banks in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. However, the Company believes risk of loss is minimal as the
cash is held by large, highly-rated financial institutions. 

F-7

Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, participates in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that
a percentage of our qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected
as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable
assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured.
At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom, participates in the research and development program provided by the United
Kingdom  tax  relief  program,  such  that  a  percentage  of  our  qualifying  research  and  development  expenditures  are  reimbursed  by  the  United  Kingdom
government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The United Kingdom research and development tax
incentive  is  recognized  when  there  is  reasonable  assurance  that  the  incentive  will  be  received,  the  relevant  expenditure  has  been  incurred  and  the
amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based
on available information at the time.

Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes costs incurred in connection with in-process research and development purchased from others if the asset has alternative uses
and  such  uses  are  not  restricted  under  applicable  license  agreements;  patent  applications  (principally  legal  fees),  patent  purchases,  and  trademarks
related  to  its  cell  line  as  intangible  assets.  Acquired  in-process  research  and  development  costs  that  do  not  have  alternative  uses  are  expensed  as
incurred. When the assets are determined to have a finite life (upon completion of the development of the in-process research and development for its
DN-TNF platform), the useful life will be determined and the in-process research and development intangible assets will be amortized.

During the fourth quarter and if business factors indicate more frequently, the Company performs an assessment of the qualitative factors affecting the
fair  value  of  our  in-process  research  and  development.  If  the  qualitative  assessment  suggests  that  impairment  is  more  likely  than  not,  a  quantitative
analysis  is  performed.  The  quantitative  analysis  involves  a  comparison  of  the  fair  value  of  the  in-process  research  and  development  with  the  carrying
amount. If the carrying amount of the in-process research and development exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal
to that excess. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of its in-process research and
development and determined that there was no impairment.

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

Basic  loss  per  share  is  computed  by  dividing  net  loss  available  to  common  shareholders  by  the  weighted  average  number  of  outstanding  common
shares during the period. Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share
excludes  all  potential  common  shares  if  their  effect  is  anti-dilutive.  For  all  periods  presented,  there  is  no  difference  in  the  number  of  shares  used  to
calculate basic and diluted shares outstanding due to the Company’s net loss position.

At  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  had  4,097,000  potentially  issuable  shares  of  common  stock  upon  the  exercise  of  stock  options  and  93,866
potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.

At  December  31,  2020,  the  Company  had  3,457,000  potentially  issuable  shares  of  common  stock  upon  the  exercise  of  stock  options  and  1,955,922
potentially issuable shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration the
Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under
ASC Topic 606: (1) identify contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4)
allocate  the  transaction  price  to  the  performance  obligations  in  the  contract;  and  (5)  recognize  revenues  when  (or  as)  the  Company  satisfies  the
performance obligations. The Company records the expenses related to revenue in research and development expense, in the periods such expenses
were incurred.

F-8

The Company records deferred revenues when cash payments are received or due in advance of performance, including amounts which are refundable.

The  Company’s  2021  revenues  were  from  the  sale  of  MSC’s  to  three  customers.  The  sales  were  recognized  when  the  MSC’s  were  delivered  to  the
customers.

The  Company’s  2020  revenue  was  from  the  sale  of  MSC’s  to  one  customer.  The  revenue  was  recognized  when  the  MSC’s  were  delivered  to  the
customer.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the
input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the
measure  of  estimated  fair  value  of  our  share-based  compensation.  These  assumptions  are  subjective  and  generally  require  significant  analysis  and
judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions
may  be  derived  from  our  historical  experience  with  stock-based  payment  arrangements.  The  appropriate  weight  to  place  on  historical  experience  is  a
matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. The Company accounts for forfeitures of stock options as they occur.

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development credits are recorded by the Company as a reduction of
research and development costs. Major components of research and development costs include cash compensation, stock-based compensation, costs of
preclinical studies, clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing, costs of drug development, costs of materials and supplies, facilities cost, overhead
costs, regulatory and compliance costs, and fees paid to consultants and other entities that conduct certain research and development activities on the
Company’s behalf.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company recognizes grants as contra research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations on a systematic basis over
the periods in which the entity recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the  estimated  tax  consequences  attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement  carrying  values  and  their  respective  income  tax  basis
(temporary  differences).  The  effect  on  deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  of  a  change  in  tax  rates  is  recognized  in  income  in  the  period  that
includes the enactment date.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s financial statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“$”), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while its functional currencies are
the  U.S.  Dollar  for  its  U.S.  based  operations,  British  Pound  (“GBP”)  for  its  United  Kingdom-based  operations  and  Australian  Dollars  (“AUD”)  for  its
Australian-based operations. All assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at
historical  rates  and  statement  of  operations  items  are  translated  at  the  weighted  average  exchange  rate  for  the  period.  The  resulting  translation
adjustments  are  reported  under  other  comprehensive  income.  Gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  translations  of  foreign  currency  transactions  and
balances are reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

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

F-9

Reclassifications

Certain amounts from the prior period have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated all transactions through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent disclosure consideration.

NOTE 4 – RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY

According to UK tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in the UK for expenses incurred in R&D subject to
certain  requirements.  The  Company’s  UK  subsidiary  submits  R&D  tax  credit  requests  annually  for  research  and  development  expenses  incurred.  At
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $3,319,000 and $833,000, respectively for
R&D expenses incurred in the UK. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $814,000 and $306,000 of R&D tax
credit reimbursements, respectively from the UK.

According to AUS tax law, the Company is allowed an R&D tax credit that reduces a company’s tax bill in AUS for expenses incurred in R&D subject to
certain requirements. The Company’s Australian subsidiary submits R&D tax credit requests annually for research and development expenses incurred.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a research and development tax credit receivable of $1,594,000 and $853,000, respectively, for
R&D expenses incurred in Australia. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $1,296,000 and $178,000 of R&D tax
credit reimbursements, respectively from Australia.

Xencor, Inc. License Agreement

On October 3, 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (“Xencor License Agreement”) with Xencor, Inc. (“Xencor”), which has discovered
and  developed  a  proprietary  biological  molecule  that  inhibits  soluble  tumor  necrosis  factor.  During  June  2021,  the  Company  entered  into  the  First
Amendment to License Agreement. Pursuant to the license agreement, Xencor granted the Company an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license in
licensed  patent  rights,  licensed  know-how  and  licensed  materials  (as  defined  in  the  license  agreement)  to  make,  develop,  use,  sell  and  import  any
pharmaceutical product that comprises, contains, or incorporates Xencor’s proprietary protein known as “XPro” that inhibits soluble tumor necrosis factor
(or all modifications, formulations and variants of the licensed protein that specifically bind soluble tumor necrosis factor) alone or in combination with one
or more active ingredients, in any dosage or formulation (“Licensed Products”). The Company believes the protein has numerous medical applications.
Such  additional  alternative  applications  of  the  technology  are  available  under  the  Xencor  License  Agreement.  In  connection  with  the  Xencor  License
Agreement,  the  Company  paid  Xencor  a  one-time  non-creditable  and  non-refundable  fee  of  $100,000  and  issued  Xencor  1,585,000  shares  of  the
Company’s common stock with a fair value of $12,221,000. In addition, the Company issued Xencor fully vested warrants with a fair value of $ 4,193,000
to purchase an additional number of shares  of  common  stock  equal  to 10%  of  the  fully  diluted  company  shares  immediately  following  such  purchase,
which warrant has since been cancelled (see the description below). The aggregate purchase price for the full exercise of the option was $10,000,000.

The Company recorded $16,514,000 for the acquisition of intangible assets for the in-process research and development as the fair value of the cash,
stock  and  warrants  on  the  date  of  the  License  Agreement  acquisition  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standards  Codification  730  – Research  and
Development. The Company has the license rights to pursue alternative applications of the technology as part of its future development plans.

The Company also agreed to pay Xencor a royalty on Net Sales of all Licensed Products in a given calendar year, which are payable on a country-by-
country and licensed product by licensed product basis until the date that is the later of (a) the expiration of the last to expire valid claim covering such
Licensed Product in such country or (b) ten years following the first sale to a third party of the licensed product in such country.

F-10

Under the Xencor License Agreement, the Company also agreed to pay Xencor a percentage of any sublicensing revenue that it receives.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On June 10, 2021, the Company and Xencor entered into an Option Cancellation Agreement whereby Xencor terminated its warrant to purchase  10% of
the fully diluted shares of the Company in exchange for a cash payment of $15,000,000 and 192,533 shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair
value of $3,300,000 based on the market price of the common stock as of June 10, 2021, which the Company issued in June 2021. The Company filed a
registration statement covering the resale of these shares during September 2021 and agreed to keep the registration statement continuously effective
until  all  such  shares  cease  to  be  outstanding  or  otherwise  cease  to  be  registrable  securities  as  defined  in  the  Option  Cancellation  Agreement.  The
Company  charged  the  cash  consideration  paid  to  Xencor  to  enter  into  the  Option  Cancellation  Agreement  to  equity  as  the  fair  value  of  the  warrant
immediately prior to the Option Cancellation Agreement was greater than the consideration paid to Xencor.

INKmune License Agreement

On  October  29,  2015,  the  Company  entered  into  an  exclusive  license  agreement  (the  “INKmune  License  Agreement”)  with  Immune  Ventures,  LLC
(“Immune Ventures”). Pursuant to the INKmune License Agreement, the Company was granted exclusive worldwide rights to the patents, including rights
to  incorporate  any  improvements  or  additions  to  the  patents  that  may  be  developed  in  the  future.  In  consideration  for  the  patent  rights,  the  Company
agreed to the following milestone payments:

During July 2021, the Company initiated a Phase I clinical trial using INKmune and the Company paid Immune Ventures a $ 25,000 milestone payment.

In addition, the Company agreed to pay the licensor a royalty of  1% of net sales during the life of each patent granted to the Company. The License is
owned  by  Immune  Ventures.  RJ  Tesi,  the  Company’s  President  and  a  member  of  our  Board  of  Directors,  David  Moss,  its  Chief  Financial  Officer  and
Treasurer and Mark Lowdell, its Chief Scientific Officer, are the owners of Immune Ventures. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no sales
had occurred under this license.

The term of the agreement began on October 29, 2015 and, if not terminated sooner pursuant to the agreement, ends on a country-by-country basis on
the date of the expiration of the last to expire patent rights where patent rights exists. Upon the termination of the agreement we shall have a fully paid
up, perpetual, royalty-free license without further obligation to Immune Ventures. The agreement can be terminated by Immune Ventures if, after 60 days
from  the  Company’s  receipt  of  notice  that  the  Company  has  not  made  a  payment  under  the  agreement,  and  the  Company  still  does  not  make  this
payment. On July 20, 2018, the parties amended the agreement under which the Company was required achieve milestones pursuant to the agreement.
On October 30, 2020, the parties executed an additional amendment to the agreement under which the Company is required to achieve the following
milestones:

Initiation of Phase II clinical trials or equivalent by October 29, 2023

Initiation of Phase III clinical trials or equivalent by October 29, 2025

Filing of NDA or equivalent by October 29, 2026 or equivalent

If  the  Company  doesn’t  achieve  the  above  milestones,  it  is  required  to  negotiate  in  good  faith  with  Immune  Ventures  to  determine  how  it  can  either
remedy the failure or achieve an alternate development. If the Company fails to make any required efforts, or if the efforts do not remedy the situation
within 60 days of written notice by Immune Ventures, then Immune Ventures may provide notice to terminate the license or convert it to a non-exclusive
license.

University of Pittsburg License Agreement

of  (i) 3%  of  the  original  principal  amount  borrowed  for  any  prepayment  on  or  prior  to  the  first  anniversary  of  the  loan,  (ii)  2%  of  the  original  principal
amount borrowed for any prepayment after the first anniversary and on or before the second anniversary of the loan or (iii) 1% of the original principal
amount borrowed for any prepayment after the second anniversary of the loan but before the maturity date.

The Company’s gross deferred tax assets of $ 6.8 million and $ 3.5 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, primarily consist of net operating
loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is not more likely than not that some portion or all of
the net deferred tax assets will be realized. Since the Company cannot be assured of generating taxable income and thereby realizing the net deferred
tax assets, a full valuation allowance has been recorded. The change in the valuation allowance was $3,245,000 during the year ended December 31,
2021.

The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the tax
positions  will  be  sustained  upon  examination  by  tax  authorities.  For  those  tax  positions  that  meet  the  more-likely-than  not  recognition  threshold,  we
recognize the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2021, and
2020,  the  Company  has  no  significant  uncertain  tax  positions.  There  are  no  unrecognized  tax  benefits  included  on  the  balance  sheet  that  would,  if
recognized, impact the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate there will be a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next
12 months.

NOTE 10 – COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company was awarded a $500,000 grant from the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”) Association to
fund a study of the efficacy of XPro to reverse ALS in vitro and to fund a study of the efficacy of XPro to protect against ALS model phenotypes in vivo.
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $200,000, and $ 300,000, respectively of cash proceeds pursuant to this
grant which the Company recorded as deferred liabilities. The Company records costs incurred related to the ALS study as a reduction of the deferred
liabilities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has $257,000 recorded as deferred liabilities related to the ALS grant.

During September 2020, the Company was awarded a grant of up to $2.9 million from the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). The grant will support a
Phase 2 study of XPro in patients with treatment resistant depression. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not received any proceeds pursuant
to this grant.

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of our business. Although management currently believes
that resolving claims against the Company, individually or in aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and  procedures  as  of  December  31,  2021.  The  term  “disclosure  controls  and  procedures,”  as  defined  in  Rules  13a-15(e)  and  15d-15(e)  under  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported,  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  SEC’s  rules  and  forms.  Disclosure  controls  and  procedures  include,  without  limitation,  controls  and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated,
can  provide  only  reasonable  assurance  of  achieving  their  objectives  and  management  necessarily  applies  its  judgment  in  evaluating  the  cost-benefit
relationship  of  possible  controls  and  procedures.  Based  on  the  evaluation,  our  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  concluded  that  our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2021.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting
for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our  CEO  and  our  CFO  are  responsible  for  establishing  and  maintaining  adequate  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  as  such  term  is  defined  in
Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-15(f).  Management  conducted  an  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  our  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of
December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (“COSO”).  Our  management  concluded  that  our  internal  controls  over  financial
reporting were effective based on those criteria, as of December 31, 2021.
