PROTOKINETIX, INCORPORATED
(A Development Stage Company)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation – Going Concern Uncertainties

ProtoKinetix, Incorporated (the “Company”), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 1999.  The Company is a medical research company whose mission is the advancement of human health care.

The Company is currently researching the benefits and feasibility of synthesized Antifreeze Glycoproteins (“AFGP”) or anti-aging glycoproteins, trademarked AAGP.  During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired certain patents and rights for cash consideration of $30,000 (25,000 Euros), as well as additional patent applications for cash consideration of $10,000 and 6,000,000 share purchase warrants with a fair value of $25,000 (Note 4).

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company filed Form 51-105F1 – Notice – OTC Issuer Ceases to be an OTC Reporting Issuer with the British Columbia Securities Commission (“BCSC”).

The Company’s financial statements are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern.

The Company has not developed a commercially viable product, has not generated any significant revenue to date, and has incurred losses since inception, resulting in a net accumulated deficit at June 30, 2018.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company needs additional working capital to continue its medical research or to be successful in any future business activities and continue to pay its liabilities.  Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective.  Management is presently engaged in seeking additional working capital through equity financing or related party loans.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and is unable to operate for the coming year.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 9, 2018, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The more significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates as to valuation of equity related instruments issued and deferred income taxes.

Cash

Cash consists of funds held in checking accounts.  Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits from time to time.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments, which includes cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Level 1 inputs are used to measure cash. At June 30, 2018, there were no other assets or liabilities subject to additional disclosure.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxed following the assets and liability method in accordance with the ASC 740 “Income Taxes.”  Under such method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  The Company applies the accounting guidance issued to address the accounting for uncertain tax positions.  This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as well as provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years that the asset is expected to be recovered or the liability settled.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Intangible assets – patent and patent application costs

The Company owns intangible assets consisting of certain patents and patent applications. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

As at June 30, 2018, the Company does not hold any intangible assets with indefinite lives.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization method and amortization period of an intangible asset with a finite life is reviewed at least annually.

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the Company’s patents, whereas no amortization has been recognized on the patent application costs as at June 30, 2018.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Loss per Share and Potentially Dilutive Securities

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period.  Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities.  The effect of 43,300,000 stock options (June 30, 2017 – 44,100,000), 6,500,000 warrants (June 30, 2017 – 6,500,000) were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for all periods presented because it was anti-dilutive due to the Company’s losses.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company has granted warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to various parties for consulting services.  The fair values of the warrants and options issued have been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.  The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2018

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d)

Share-Based Compensation (cont’d)

The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with persons classified as non-employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Stock-Based Transactions with Nonemployees”, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period.

Common stock

Common stock issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and classified as equity. The measurement date is defined as the earliest of the date at which the commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the common shares is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common stock, units and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Related Party Transactions

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company.  A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 – Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This accounting pronouncement, which went into effect December 12, 2017, is far reaching and covers several presentation areas dealing with measurement, impairment, assumptions used in estimating fair value and several other areas. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 7.  Stock Options (cont’d)
 
As of June 30, 2018, 25,000,000 options and no shares of common stock have been granted and are outstanding under the 2017 Plan.

The 2017 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, or a committee appointed by the Board of Directors.  In addition to determining who will be granted options or stock bonuses, the committee has the authority and discretion to determine when options and bonuses will be granted and the number of options and bonuses to be granted.  The committee also may determine a vesting and/or forfeiture schedule for bonuses and/or options granted, the time or times when each option becomes exercisable, the duration of the exercise period for options and the form or forms of the agreements, certificates or other instruments evidencing grants made under the 2017 Plan.  The committee may determine the purchase price of the shares of common stock covered by each option.  The committee also may impose additional conditions or restrictions not inconsistent with the provisions of the 2017 Plan.  The committee may adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as in its opinion may be advisable for the administration of the 2017 Plan. 

In the event that a change, such as a stock split, is made in the Company’s capitalization which results in an exchange or other adjustment of each share of common stock for or into a greater or lesser number of shares, appropriate adjustments will be made to unvested bonuses and in the exercise price and in the number of shares subject to each outstanding option.  The committee also may make provisions for adjusting the number of bonuses or underlying outstanding options in the event the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalizations, rights offerings, or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding common stock.  Options and bonuses may provide that in the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, a corporate separation or division or the merger or consolidation of the Company, the holder may exercise the option on such terms as it may have been exercised immediately prior to such dissolution, corporate separation or division or merger or consolidation; or in the alternative, the committee may provide that each option granted under the 2017 Plan shall terminate as of a date fixed by the committee.

The exercise price of any option granted under the 2017 Plan must be no less than 100% of the “fair market value” of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The exercise period of any option shall not exceed ten years from the date of grant of the option. Any incentive stock option granted under the 2017 Plan to a person owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the common stock must be at a price of no less than 110% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant and the term shall be for no more than five years.

The Company was delinquent in filing certain income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and reports disclosing its interest in foreign bank accounts on form TDF 90-22.1, “Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts” (“FBARs”). In September 2015, the Company filed the delinquent income tax returns and has sought waivers of any penalties under the IRS Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program for late filing of the returns and FBARs.  Under the program, the IRS has indicated that it will not impose a penalty for the failure to file delinquent income tax returns if there are no underreported tax liabilities.  On November 30, 2017, the Company received a letter from the IRS concluding their review of the Company’s tax returns under the program and accepting the returns as filed.  No penalties have been assessed by the IRS to date, and management does not believe that the Company will incur any penalties relating to the tax years submitted under the program.

Gross Profit and Expenses
The Company’s net loss was $650,902 for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $706,759 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017.  These expenses were primarily incurred for professional fees, consulting services related to the operations of the Company’s business, research and development and other general and administrative expenses.  Significant changes from the prior six month period ended June 30, 2017 include:

General and Administrative fees decreased by  $18,900 from $61,937 to $43,037 primarily as a result of a decrease in spending on advertising and public relations.
 
Research and development also remain relatively flat year over year with a decrease of only by $201 from $155,273 to $155,072 with the primary spending being testing of effects of glycopeptides on bone marrow stem cell engraphment and antibody production with the University of British Columbia.
 
Share-based compensation decreased by $36,591 from $416,541 to $379,950 primarily as a result of a decrease in management stock options for the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
The following summarizes our statements of cash flows at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

At June 30, 2018, we had $214,408 in cash and $276,897 in total current assets.  As of June 30, 2018, we had a working capital equity position of $271,477. Based upon our working capital equity as of June 30, 2018, we require additional equity and/or debt financing in order to meet cash flow projections and carry forward our business objectives.  

There can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to raise capital from outside sources in sufficient amounts to fund our new business. The failure to secure adequate outside funding would have an adverse effect on our plan of operation and results therefrom and a corresponding negative impact on stockholder liquidity.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $121,749 from $412,743 to $290,994 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively.  This decrease was predominantly due to a decrease in compensatory stock options awarded to management.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $9,578 for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 while the Company had net cash used in investing activities of $40,009 for the comparative period.  The difference is attributable to a decrease in the purchase of intangible assets.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $107,962 from $320,000 to $212,038 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2018, respectively due to a decrease in funding from private placements.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The history of losses and the inability for the Company to make a profit from selling a good or service has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In spite of the fact that the current cash obligations of the Company are relatively minimal, given the cash position of the Company, we have very little cash to operate. We intend to fund the Company and attempt to meet corporate obligations by selling common stock.  However, the Company’s common stock is at a low price and is not actively traded.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Contractual Obligations

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by paragraph (a)(5) of this Item.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements.


 
22






Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q.

While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived there from have been identified as being critical.

Share-Based Compensation

On July 1, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2015 Stock Option and Stock Bonus Plan (the “Plan”).  The Company has granted warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to various parties for consulting services outside of the Plan, and beginning July 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2016 pursuant to the Plan.  On December 30, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2017 Stock Option and Stock Bonus Plan (the “2017 Plan”). During the six month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company granted options to purchase a total of 800,000 shares of common stock to two consultants pursuant to the 2017 Plan.  The fair values of the warrants and options issued have been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.  The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance.

The Company accounts for stock compensation arrangements with persons classified as non-employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 505-50 “Stock-Based Transactions with Nonemployees”, which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period.

Sales and Marketing

The Company is currently not selling or marketing any products.

Inflation

Although management expects that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer), and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal accounting officer) has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by 1934 Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of June 30, 2018 (the end of the period covered by this report).  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.

The Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its internal controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act) during the six months ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Other than previously reported, the Company and its management are not aware of any regulatory or legal proceedings or investigations pending involving the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors or employees.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item.  However, our current risk factors are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2018, and such risk factors are incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Between June 22, 2018 and June 29, 2018, the Company issued a total of 3,240,760 shares of common stock at a price per share of $0.05 for gross proceeds of $162,038 to accredited investors pursuant to a private placement, of which 840,760 shares of common stock were issued to Clarence E. Smith, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer for $42,038.

For these sales of common stock of the Company no solicitation was used in the offerings.  The Company relied on the exemption from registration available under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”) and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the 1933 Act with respect to transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  No commissions were paid in connection with these issuances of securities.  A Form D was filed previously on September 21, 2017 and an amended Form D was filed with the SEC on July 9, 2018.

Other than previously reported, there have been no unregistered sales of equity securities during the six month period ended June 30, 2018.
