NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

A. Organizational Background

 

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. (“OWCP” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 7, 2008. On July 6, 2014, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, One World Cannabis Ltd. (“OWC” or the “Israeli subsidiary”) under the laws of the State of Israel. The Company is a medical cannabis research and development company that applies conventional pharmaceutical research protocols and disciplines to the field of medical cannabis with the objective of establishing a leadership position in the research and development of medical cannabis therapies, products and delivery technologies. The Company is currently engaged in the research and development of cannabis-based medical products (the “Product Prospects”) for the treatment of multiple myeloma, psoriasis and fibromyalgia as well as development of a cannabis soluble tablet delivery system and topical cream for localized external treatment that may have applications for other indications. The Company also provides consulting services to governmental and private entities to assist them with developing and implementing tailor-made comprehensive medical cannabis programs.

 

B. Liquidity and going concern uncertainty

 

The development and commercialization of the Company’s product is expected to require substantial expenditures. The Company has not yet generated material revenues from operations, and therefore is dependent upon external sources for financing its operations. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $11,838,959, and its stockholders’ equity is $1,237,157. In addition, in each year since its inception the Company has reported losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. Management considered the significance of such conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its current and future obligations and determined that such conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Until such time as the Company generates sufficient revenue to fund its operations (if ever), the Company plans to finance its operations through the sale of equity or equity-linked securities and/or debt securities and, to the extent available, short-term and long-term loans. There can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in obtaining the necessary financing to continue its operations as a going concern.

 

During the first six months of 2017, the Company raised a total amount of $1,667,524 (net of related expenses), from the issuance of units that included Common Stock and detachable warrants. In addition, during 2017 the Company received $77,083 through the exercise of warrants.

 

C. Risk factors

 

As described in the above paragraph, the Company has a limited operating history and faces a number of risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties regarding continuation of the development process, demand and market acceptance of the Company’s products, the effects of technological changes, competition and the development of products by competitors. Additionally, other risk factors also exist, such as the ability to manage growth and the effect of planned expansion of operations on the Company’s future results and the availability of necessary financing. In addition, the Company expects to continue incurring significant operating costs and losses in connection with the development and marketing of its products. The Company has not yet generated material revenues from its operations to fund its activities and therefore is dependent on the receipt of additional funding from its stockholders and/ or new investors in order to continue its operations.

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (cont.)

 

D. Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates. As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to (i) Stock based compensation and (ii) the going concern assumptions.

 

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A. Basis of Presentation

 

Accounting Principles

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) related to interim financial statements. As permitted under those rules, certain information and footnote disclosures normally required or included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are considered necessary to present fairly the results of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017 or for any other interim period or for any future period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

B. Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not have material impact on the Company’s equity, net assets, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

 

C. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

1. Effective January, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations’ balance sheet. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, all deferred tax assets and liabilities will be required to be classified as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods (i.e., in the first quarter of 2017 for calendar year-end companies).Early adoption is permitted for all entities as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The guidance may be applied either prospectively, for all deferred tax assets and liabilities, or retrospectively (i.e., by reclassifying the comparative balance sheet). If applied prospectively, entities are required to include a statement that prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. If applied retrospectively, entities are also required to include quantitative information about the effects of the change on prior periods. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

2. Effective January, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments are intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share-based payment awards to their employees.

 

Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments also simplify two areas specific to private companies.

 

For public companies, the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period periods (i.e., in the first quarter of 2017 for calendar year-end companies).

 

The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

3. In May 2014, The FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).

 

ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 also requires entities to disclose sufficient information, both quantitative and qualitative, to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

 

During 2016, the FASB issued several Accounting Standard Updates that focuses on certain implementation issues of the new revenue recognition guidance including Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, Principal versus Agent Considerations and Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.

 

An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following two methods: 1. Retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented with a possibility to elect certain practical expedients, or, 2. Retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application. If an entity elects the latter transition method, it also should provide certain additional disclosures.

C. Recently Issued Accounting Standards (cont.)

 

3. (cont.)

 

For a public entity, the amendments in ASU 2014-09 (including the amendments introduced through recent ASU’s) are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period (the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 for the Company). Early application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.

 

The Company intends to adopt ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018.

 

The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its revenue streams and selling contracts, if any, and on its financial reporting and disclosures. Management is expecting to complete the evaluation of the impact of the accounting and disclosure changes on the business processes, controls and systems throughout 2017. Since the Company did not report so far, material revenues, management believes that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have significant impact on its financial statements.

 

4. Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480);Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) : (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception

 

In July 2017, the FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480);Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) : (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features, (Part II) Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception (ASU 2017-11).

 

Among others, Part I of ASU 2017-11 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features, a provision in an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) that provides a downward adjustment of the current exercise price based on the price of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for organizations that issue financial instruments with down round features by requiring, on an ongoing basis, fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option.

 

ASU 2017-11 require companies to disregard the down round feature when assessing whether the instrument is indexed to its own stock, for purposes of determining liability or equity classification. Companies that provide earnings per share (EPS) data will adjust their basic EPS calculation for the effect of the feature when triggered (i.e., when the exercise price of the related equity-linked financial instrument is adjusted downward because of the down round feature) and will also recognize the effect of the trigger within equity.

 

ASU 2017-11 also addresses navigational concerns within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification related to an indefinite deferral available to private companies.

 

The provisions of the new ASU related to down rounds are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (fiscal 2019 for the Company). Early adoption is permitted for all entities.

 

The Company hasn’t began evaluating the impact of part I of ASU 2017-11 on its financial statements.

B. Stock-based compensation

 

1. During the period, the Company issued 300,000 fully vested shares of the Company common stock and 400,000 warrants (200,000 “G” warrants with exercise price of $0.25 and 200,000 “H” warrants with exercise price of $0.40) for the purchase of one share each of common stock to a consultant as payment for services. As the equity instruments issued are fully vested and non-forfeitable, the fair value of the grant was recognized as an increase to stockholders’ equity at the measurement date with an offsetting amount as a deduction from stockholders’ equity within the caption “Services receivable”. This amount will be recognized as consulting expense over the terms of the agreements. The shares were valued at the closing price as of the date of the agreements ($0.67) and resulted in current recognition as at June 30, 2017, of $83,704 in consulting services expense and $117,296 as future services receivable. This amount will be recognized as consulting expense over the terms of the agreement. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model to estimate the fair value as at June 30, 2017, of $153,963 and resulted in current recognition of $71,287 in additional consulting services expense and $82,676 as additional future services receivable. This amount will be recognized as consulting expense over the terms of the agreement. The Black-Sholes-Merton pricing model assumptions used are as follows: expected dividend yield of 0%; risk-free interest rate of 0.10%-.0.11%; expected volatility of 282%, and warrant exercise period based upon the stated terms. See also C1 below.

B. Stock-based compensation (cont.)

 

6. During the period, the engagement of the Subsidiary’s CEO was terminated and the CFO resigned. These actions triggered the forfeiture of 10,456,094 options previously granted under the 2016 Employee Incentive Plan. The forfeitures resulted in the de-recognition of $645,434 of previously recognized compensation expense related to the pre-vested forfeitures.

 

The following tables present a summary of the status of the grants to employees, officers and directors as of June 30, 2017.

 

Options outstanding at December 31, 2016     35,050,000     $ 0.051  
Forfeited     (10,456,094 )   $ 0.050  
Options outstanding at June 30, 2017     24,593,906     $ 0.051  
Options exercisable at June 30, 2017     12,423,406     $ 0.051  

 

As such award was subject to a clawback feature in certain contingent events such as termination for cause, the Company accounted for the cancellation of the award in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718-10-55. Thus, the Company recognized the original compensation cost related to that grant (which was determined to be less than the current fair value of such award) as a credit to income statement within line item “General and administrative”.

 

C. Exercise of Warrants

 

1. During the period, the consultant mentioned in Note 3B1 above, exercised their 400,000 warrants and acquired 334,450 shares of common stock. In accordance with the original terms of the warrant agreement the exercise of the warrants was made on a net share settlement basis and resulted in delivery to the Company of 65,550 shares by the consultant for the exercise price, based on the average market value of the common shares ten days period preceding the date of exercise.

 

2. During the period, the Company received $77,083 in cash for the exercise of 308,334 warrants to purchase 308,334 shares of common stock. The warrants carried an exercise price of $0.25.

 

3. During the period, the consultant mentioned in Note 8C1E of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2016, exercised their 400,000 warrants and acquired 262,363 shares of common stock.

Plan of Operations

 

We are engaged in research and development of cannabis-based medical products for the treatment of a variety of medical conditions such as multiple myeloma, psoriasis, fibromyalgia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and migraine, and (ii) consulting services to companies and governmental agencies with respect to complex international medical cannabis protocols and regulations.

 

We have not yet commenced any significant activities related to our consulting services.

 

Recent Developments

 

On September 28, 2016, we entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Medmar LLC, pursuant to which Medmar has agreed to loan us a total of $300,000 (the “Loan”) on a non-interest bearing basis, with no conversion rights. The Loan is due in 36 months from the Effective Date, September 22, 2016, and repayment shall be made only by the set off of royalties payable by Medmar to us as follows: (i) prior to the full repayment of the Loan, which OWC Ltd may prepay at any time, if and to the extent Medmar is required to pay any royalties to OWC under a License Agreement dated March 17, 2016, Medmar shall set off such royalties from the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (ii) OWC shall not be required to pay the Loan other than through the set off from the royalties; and (iii) the Loan is a non-recourse loan, meaning that if and to the extent that the royalties are insufficient for any reason in order to fully repay the Loan, Medmar waived any right and/or claim to any deficiency.

 

In addition, the Loan Agreement also provides that: (i) subject to Medmar funding the entire Loan, Medmar shall receive the exclusive right to manufacture, produce, publicize, promote and market the OWC’s Licensed Products (as defined in the above-referenced License Agreement) in any state in the U.S., subject to a new license agreement to be negotiated and signed between the parties with respect to each and every state; (ii) the rights to be granted to Medmar under (i) above shall expire within three (3) years subject to certain conditions and limitations; and (iii) the right of first refusal agreement between the parties that was executed on February 8, 2016 providing Medmar certain rights in connection with the commercialization of Licensed Products in the States of Hawaii and Pennsylvania be terminated.

 

On April 21, 2017, OWC served written notice to Medmar of OWC’s determination to prepay the non-recourse loan by Medmar to OWC in the principal amount of $300,000. OWC has elected to exercise what it believes is its absolute right to terminate certain distribution rights granted to Medmar under the loan agreement and has repaid the entire principle balance of $300,000, during the period.

 

On February 1, 2017, following the very encouraging results that have been achieved at the mid-point of the Study, the Registrant’s Board of Directors and the management and scientific personnel of OWC Ltd have determined to extend the size and scope of the Study for the purpose of, among other things, checking the biological markers that have been generated to date with respect to the treatment of psoriasis (proliferation/inhibition and several interleukins). Despite extending its size and scope of the Study, the Registrant expects to compete the Study within the same projected time frame.

 

Our goal is to become a leader in the research and development of cannabis-based medical drugs and treatments. To achieve our goal, we plan to focus our activities on the following areas:

 

Research and Development

 

Our research and development is focused primarily on exploring several formulations containing active compounds from the cannabis plant, including (but not exclusive to) the cannabinoids CBD and THC, and identifying potential therapeutic applications of the synergistic effects of these active compounds. The synergistic contributions of our formulations have not been scientifically researched and demonstrated in a preclinical model concerning our topical cream formulation. We aim to standardize the formulations across the extracts as a whole, not simply by reference to their key active components (CBD and/or THC).

 

- 15 -
   

 

Although there are existing reports and studies on CBD and THC, our formulations will contain several other active compounds from the cannabis plant, that must be fully researched and documented in order to verify their effectiveness in specific indications, at what doses and which method of administration will be the most appropriate and effective.

 

One World Cannabis plans to produce pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid-based products and treatments that will be standardized in composition, formulation and dose, administered by means of an appropriate and efficient delivery system, and tested in properly controlled pre-clinical and clinical studies. OWC plans to conduct its research, led by internationally renowned investigators, at the facilities of leading Israeli hospitals and scientific institutions. The Company will adhere to legislation, rules and guidelines regarding the investigations. Dr. Yehuda Baruch, OWC’s Director of Research and Regulatory Affairs, and Mr. Alon Sinai, OWC’s Chief Operating Officer, will monitor the research and studies.

 

To date, OWC has signed three research collaboration and license agreements as well as service agreements with Sheba Academic Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel (“Sheba”), with respect to three potential indications.. Sheba is a university-affiliated hospital that serves as Israel’s national medical center and the most comprehensive medical center in the Middle East. Within the framework of the abovementioned agreements with Sheba, as well as other potentially negotiated agreements, OWC intends to initiate two studies at the Sheba facilities to explore the effect of two formulations, all based on active ingredients in the cannabis extracts, on multiple myeloma and psoriasis.

 

The Company expects to start developing other delivery systems, designed for different indications, during 2017.

 

Pursuant to the above mentioned research agreement in connection with the psoriasis indication, the Medical Research Infrastructure Development and Health Services of the Chaim Sheba Center (the “Fund”) shall perform a Phase I, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, maximal dose study (the “Study”) to determine the safety and tolerability of topical cream containing MGC (“Medical Grade Cannabis” or the “Study Drug”) in healthy volunteers. Dr. Aviv Barzilay, Director of the Department of Dermatology at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center will lead the Study (the “Investigator”). The Study as defined in the Research Agreement, shall be conducted in compliance with the following: (1) the Protocol; (2) the Ministry Guidelines; (3) the instructions and terms specified in the Helsinki Committee’s approval; (4) the ICH-GCP; (5) the Helsinki Declarations; (6) the applicable laws, rules and regulations regulating such studies which are applicable in Israel (the “Applicable Laws”); and (7) written instructions and prescriptions issued by the OWC and governing the administration of the Study Drug.

 

On February 1, 2017, following the very encouraging results that were achieved by OWC at the mid-point of the psoriasis related study conducted by OWC with an Israeli research institute, the Company determined to extend the size and scope of the Study for the purpose, among other parameters, of checking the biological markers that have been generated to date with respect to the treatment of psoriasis (proliferation/ inhibition and several interleukins) which was conducted by such institute. Such trial results concluded that application of OWC’s unique active cannabinoid-based topical cream formulation, resulted in up to 70% improvement in a variety of inflammation markers directly associated with Psoriasis and inhibition of proliferation.

 

To date, One World Cannabis has filed 13 National Phase and 3 PCT patents with the United States Patent and Regulatory Office (USPTO), all related to its line of activity related to cannabis-based medical products. Assuming the successful completion of the clinical trials, of which there can be no assurance, the Company believes that it will be able to retain the intellectual rights and secure patent protections.

 

While we retain full ownership on our intellectual property rights that we conceived prior to the signing of the research collaboration and license agreements with Sheba Academic Medical Center, the psoriasis agreement with Sheba provide that all intellectual property that is conceived during the course of the research is to be jointly owned by Sheba and One World Cannabis.

 

Pursuant to the collaboration agreements, we are expected to pay Sheba $170,000 for conducting the multiple myeloma trial between the 3rd quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016. Pursuant to the collaboration agreements, we are obliged to pay Sheba $85,000 throughout 2017 for conducting the safety study for the cream for treatment of psoriasis. We currently have the financial resources to fund our current obligations under these agreements, but anticipate that we will require additional funding during the next 12 months for our continuing and planned expanded operations. As of June 30, 2017, we have paid Sheba $65,669 as per Sheba’s payment requests.

OW C’s Investigation on Multiple Myeloma

 

Dr. Merav Leiba, Head of Multiple Myeloma Outpatient Clinic and Multiple Myeloma Research Lab at Sheba’s Hematology Institute, led the in vitro tests on multiple myeloma. Dr. Leiba, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Hematology, was a postdoctoral fellow at the Jerome Lipper Multiple Myeloma Center at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts (2006-2008). Dr. Leiba has participated in numerous clinical and investigational studies aimed at developing novel drugs for multiple myeloma.

 

Our tests results on multiple myeloma cells studied in vitro, which we announced on June 17, 2015, led us to proceed with further pre-clinical studies (safety and toxicity, PK, PD) of our formulation, to has assess the scientific merit for further development as an investigational new drug. Whilst we are encouraged by the results of the limited in vitro tests, there can be no assurance that any clinical trial will result in commercially viable products or treatments.

 

- 17 -
   

 

Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming and difficult to design and implement. We, as well as the regulatory authorities in Israel and elsewhere, such as an IRB (Helsinki committee), IMCU - Israel Medical Cannabis Unit, or the FDA, may suspend, delay or terminate our clinical trials at any time, may require us, for various reasons, to conduct additional clinical trials, or may require a particular clinical trial to continue for a longer duration than originally planned, including, among others:

 

● lack of effectiveness of any formulation or delivery system during clinical trials;
● discovery of serious or unexpected toxicities or side effects experienced by trial participants or other safety issues;
● slower than expected rates of subject recruitment and enrollment rates in clinical trials;
● delays or inability in manufacturing or obtaining sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials due to regulatory and manufacturing constraints;
● delays in obtaining regulatory authorization to commence a trial, including IRB approvals, licenses required for obtaining and using cannabis for research, either before or after a trial is commenced;
● unfavorable results from ongoing pre-clinical studies and clinical trials.
● patients or investigators failing to comply with study protocols;
● patients failing to return for post-treatment follow-up at the expected rate;
● sites participating in an ongoing clinical study withdraw, requiring us to engage new sites;
● third-party clinical investigators decline to participate in our clinical studies, do not perform the clinical studies on the anticipated schedule, or act in ways inconsistent with the established investigator agreement, clinical study protocol, good clinical practices, and other Institutional Review Board requirements;
● third-party entities do not perform data collection and analysis in a timely or accurate manner or at all;
● regulatory inspections of our clinical studies require us to undertake corrective action or suspend or terminate our clinical studies;

 

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Consulting Services

 

OWCP believes that the complexity of the medical cannabis programs has created a demand for consulting and advisory services in different aspects of the medical cannabis industry. The Company’s services are designed to help government officials, policy-makers and regulatory agencies develop and implement tailor-made comprehensive medical cannabis programs. In addition, One World Cannabis offers medical cannabis regulatory compliance services and patient-care consultancy services.

 

Our initial activities to secure consulting contracts will be in member states of the European Union and states of the United States that allow for public medical cannabis programs.

 

OWC management has the expertise in designing training programs for physicians, caregivers, and researches that are essential to the establishment of a successful, patient-focused medical cannabis program. By working with policy-makers, government officials, public agencies, and privately owned businesses, we believe we can also raise the public’s awareness of the benefits of cannabis-based treatments and products.

 

In furtherance of our plans, we may, in the future, consider strategic acquisitions and joint ventures as well as other projects to grow our business activities including but not limited to: product licensing and royalty agreements, consulting, and strategic alliances to support our Product Prospect development. However, there can be no assurance that this strategy will be successful in generating any revenues or growing our business.

We used $264,268 in our operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was due to a net loss of $488,118 offset by an increase in foreign currency translation adjustments of $7,681, an increase in adjustments of convertible loans of $68,717, depreciation expenses of $4,825, stock based compensation expenses of $8,074, a decrease in accounts receivable of $4,097, a decrease in other assets of $27,056, an increase in accounts payable of $3,590, an increase in deferred revenues of $100,000 and a decrease in other liabilities of $190.

 

We used $1,080 and $1,860 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to purchase property and equipment.

 

Our financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2017 provided us with $1,494,607 through proceeds of $1,667,524 from issuance of common stock, $77,083 from exercise of warrants, $50,000 from non-recourse loan and a repayment of non-recourse loan of $300,000. Based upon our cash position of $1,379,895 on June 30, 2017, we believe that we have sufficient cash to fund our operation in the next 12 months, however we believe that in order to execute on our plans we need to raise additional capital, either equity or debt and there can be no assurance, that additional capital will be sufficient to fund our anticipated expenditure requirements to execute on our plans.

Our lack of operating history may make it difficult to raise capital. Our inability to borrow funds or raise equity capital to facilitate our business plan may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and future prospects.

 

Funding of Our Research Programs

 

On October 22, 2014, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Sheba Academic Medical Center, a hospital in Tel-Aviv, Israel, relating to the use of cannabis to treat Myeloma. Pursuant to the collaboration agreements, we are expected to pay Sheba $170,000 for conducting the multiple myeloma trial between the 3rd quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016. In addition, we commenced pre-clinical studies on the treatment of psoriasis during the second quarter of 2016. Pursuant to the collaboration agreements, we are obliged to pay Sheba $85,000 throughout 2017 for conducting the safety study for the cream for treatment of psoriasis. We currently have the financial resources to fund our current obligations under these agreements, but anticipate that we will require additional funding during the next 12 months for our continuing and planned expanded operations. As of June 30, 2017, we have paid Sheba $65,669 according Sheba’s payment requests.

 

Our expenditures allocated to our corporate activities conducted through our facilities in Petach Tikva were $39,752 for the year ended December 31, 2016 and we expect will be approximately $40,000 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

 

At present, we use our available working capital to fund these studies. However, we will need to raise additional funding prior to or if clinical studies are to commence.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Back to Table of Contents

 

The Company has filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County for alleged legal malpractice against the NYC law firm of Sichenzia Ross Ference Kesner LLP and Marc J. Ross, Esq. a partner at Sichenzia Ross (collectively, the “Defendants”). Our claims arise out of legal services allegedly negligently performed by the Defendants related to the: (i) filing of a registration statement on Form S-1; (ii) the withdrawal of the S-1; (iii)delayed filing of a second S-1; and (iv)related contracts and convertible note instrument that resulted in OWCP suffering damages in excess of $2 million in equity and the issuance of approximately 35 million shares upon conversion of a note without any consideration or benefit to OWCP. We brought the action seeking recovery of monetary damages noted above due to the defendants’ alleged failure to exercise a professional standard of care in their representation of OWCP. The action is now in the pleading stages. Reference is made to our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 30, 2016, and specifically to the details contained in our attorney’s demand letter to Sichenzia Ross and Ross prior to the commencement of the lawsuit. No changes have incurred related to this matter since the ‘Company’s last report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.

 

On August 10, 2017, the Company filed an action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County seeking to recover unpaid shares due the company from former employees Ziv Turner, Uri Geller and Dubi Kochvar. The lawsuit also seeks an injunction to restrain the sale of shares of the Company by a transferee, Jeffrey Low, and further seeks to rescind the transfer of shares from Ziv Turner to Jeffrey Low. The action is currently pending and is in the pleading stage.

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
