Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all of the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025.
Management acknowledges its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. The Company was organized to develop high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries.
On January 24, 2024, the Company signed a memorandum of understand with the Vietnam Sericulture Association (“VSA”) and the Lam Dong Agro-Forestry Research & Experiment Center (“LAREC”) to enhance sericulture in Vietnam through the expanded application of the Company’s spider silk silkworm technology.
On January 14, 2025, the Company was granted a new Investment Registration Certificate and Enterprise Registration Certificate for its production operations in Vietnam.
On March 5, 2018, the Company issued a board resolution authorizing investment in a Vietnamese subsidiary and appointing a representative for the subsidiary.
On April 24, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its investment registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd.
On May 1, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its enterprise registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of Prodigy Textiles, Co., Ltd. (the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary) whose functional currency is the Vietnamese Dong, are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates prior to consolidation. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are reflected as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.

Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of demand deposits at financial institutions, money market funds, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company
had $
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 260, “Earnings per Share.” For March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC No. 740-10-25, 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. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC No. 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
| 9 |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and are recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life (The expected life for awards uses the simplified method for all “plain vanilla” options, as defined in ASC 718-10-S99, and the contractual term for all other employee and non-employee awards. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718 and, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified as cash flows from operating activities. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASU 2018-07.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to require enhanced disclosures that include reportable segment expenses. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose significant segment expenses, segment profit or loss (after significant segment expenses), and allows reporting of additional measures of a segments profit or loss if used in assessing segment performance. Such disclosures apply to entities with a single reportable segment. These amendments were effective for the Company in 2024 and retrospectively to all prior periods using the significant segment expense categories identified. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements to remove various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This guidance is to clarify guidance, simplify wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
| 10 |
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance applies to all business entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. As the Company does not issue profit interest awards, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to require enhanced income tax disclosures to provide information to assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose (1) a tabular income tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, (2) separate disclosure of any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and disaggregation of certain items that are significant and (3) amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including separate disclosure of any individual jurisdictions greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, since the amendments require only enhancement of existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Equipment
The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life.
In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We hold certain financial assets, which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”). ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Level 1 instruments include cash and cash equivalents, account receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory and account payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values are assumed to approximate the fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
| ● | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We believe our carrying value of level 1 instruments approximate their fair value at March 31, 2025, and 2024. |
| 11 |
| ● | Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
| ● | Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We consider depleting assets, asset retirement obligations and net profit interest liability to be Level 3. We determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities utilizing various inputs, including NYMEX price quotations and contract terms. |
The following are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis: as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):
The Company has consistently applied the valuation techniques in all periods presented. The following table presents the Company’s assets which were measured at fair value at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Board of Directors, who serves as the Custodian, is responsible for the safekeeping of gold bullion owned by the Company.
Valuation of Gold Bullion
The investment in Bullion is classified as a level 1 asset, as the Company’s investment in Bullion is calculated using unadjusted quoted prices from primary market sources.
Gains and Losses on Gold Bullion
Fair value of the gold bullion held by the Company is based on that day’s London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Gold Price PM. “LBMA Gold Price PM” is the price per fine troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, determined by ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) following an electronic auction consisting of one or more 30-second rounds starting at 3:00 p.m. (London time), on each day that the London gold market is open for business and published shortly thereafter.
The Company holds gold bullion as part of its strategy to manage inflation risk and diversify its assets. Upon acquisition, the Company elected the Fair Value Option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments – Fair Value Option to account for its investment in gold bullion. This election is irrevocable and was made to better reflect the Company’s intent to manage the assets based on fair value fluctuations.
Accounting Policy and Election
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair value and requires increased disclosure regarding the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
| 12 |
The Company recognizes changes in fair value of the investment in Bullion as changes in unrealized gains or losses on investment in Bullion through the Statement of Operations.
In accordance with ASC 825-10, the Company has elected to measure its gold bullion at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The gold bullion qualifies for the fair value option as it is a non-financial asset that is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis.
| ● | The fair value option was elected at initial recognition of the gold bullion. |
| ● | Changes in fair value are recognized in “Other (Income) Expense, Net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024,
the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $
Storage and Custody
The Company holds its gold bullion in a segregated vault operated by an independent third-party custodian. The Company periodically verifies the existence and condition of the gold through physical inspections and independent third-party audits.
The following tables summarize activity in gold bullion for the three months ended March 31, 2025:
| Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 | Ounces | Cost | Fair Value | |||||||||
| Balance December 31, 2024 | $ | $ | ||||||||||
| Net change in unrealized gain | ||||||||||||
| Balance March 31, 2025 | $ | $ | ||||||||||
Money Market Funds
Money market funds included in cash and cash equivalents and U.S. government-backed securities are measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of the fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC No. 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC No. 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company recognized $ and $ respectively in revenue.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company at times has cash and cash equivalents
in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $

On March 12, 2023, the U.S. government took extraordinary
steps to stop a potential banking crisis after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank, assuring all depositors at the failed institution
that they could access all their money quickly, even as another major bank was shut down. The Company had no exposure to a failed bank.
The Company averts risks associated with such a crisis by holding minimum cash balances required for uninterrupted operations, federal
funds money market fund, and U.S. government-backed securities. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held $
Original Issue Discount
For certain notes issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to amortization of original issue discount in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the debt.
Debt Issue Cost

Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that have the following characteristics: (i) they engage in business activities from which they may earn revenue and incur expense, (ii) their operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for resource allocation decisions and performance assessment, and (iii) their discrete financial information is available. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer, who manages and allocates resources to our operations on a consolidated basis. We operate as one segment, and our operations are focused on developing high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries. Segment information is further described in Note 11.

NOTE 4 - RIGHT TO USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITY
We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the leases in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor.
We have a lease agreement with lease and non-lease components and have elected to utilize the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single combined lease component, from both a lessee and lessor perspective with the exception of direct sales-type leases and production equipment classes embedded in supply agreements. From a lessor perspective, the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease components and associated lease component and, the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.
We have elected not to present short-term leases on the balance sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that we are reasonably certain to exercise. All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. Because our lease does not provide an implicit rate of return, we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
In general, leases, where we are the lessee, may include options to extend the lease term. These leases may include options to terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset. Certain operating leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate. We calculate the present value of future lease payments based on the index or rate at the lease commencement date.
Differences between the calculated lease payment and actual payment are expensed as incurred. Amortization of finance lease assets is recognized over the lease term as cost of revenues or operating expenses depending on the nature of the leased asset.
Interest expense on finance lease liabilities is recognized over the lease term in interest expense.

Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, is a corporation organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications including technical textiles. We use genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create our recombinant spider silk. Applications include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics and more. We believe that we are a world leader in the research, development, and production of commercially scalable and cost-effective spider silk fiber. Our primary proprietary fiber technology utilizes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. Our business brings twenty-first century biotechnology to the historical silk industry. We are introducing materials with innovative properties into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning, weaving, and manufacture of garments and other products.
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency, and flexibility for use in our target markets, including the specialty fiber and technical textile industries . We believe that the genetically engineered protein-based fibers we seek to produce have properties that are in some ways superior to the materials currently available in the marketplace. Production of our product in commercial quantities holds what we believe to be potential life-saving ballistic resistant material, which we believe is lighter, thinner, more flexible, and tougher than steel. Other potential applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets.
Through our technologies, the introduction of the gene sequence based on those found in native spider silk, results in a germline transformation and is therefore self-perpetuating. Our recombinant spider silk fibers incorporate the silk proteins found in spider silk with native silkworm silk proteins. This combination of native silkworm proteins combined with spider silk protein structures results in new and unique recombinant silk fibers. This technology is in essence a protein expression platform which has other potential applications including diagnostics and pharmaceutical production. Moreover, our technologies are “green” inasmuch as our fibers and textiles are derived from nature and do not use any petrochemicals as an input into the fibers.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our financial statements as of December 31, 2023, and as of December 31, 2024, include an explanatory paragraph stating that our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency at December 31, 2024 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Plan of Operations
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
| ● | We plan to accelerate and expand commercial scale production of our recombinant spider silk. |
| ● | We plan to expand our research and development to accelerate our work in creating next generation materials and to improve the robustness of our recombinant spider silk lines. |
| ● | We plan to create a line of recombinant spider silk fashion wear either under our own brand name or in partnership with existing commercial entities. |
| ● | We plan to continue the expansion of our overseas production operations, including working with local contractors or cooperatives and the hiring of additional direct staff, as needed. |
| ● | We plan to accelerate our microbiology research and development to create more advanced materials. We plan to develop more advanced spider silk and non-spider silk based fibers for select target markets. |
| ● | We will consider buying an established revenue producing company in a compatible business, in order to broaden our financial base and facilitate the commercialization of our products; as of the date hereof, we have not had any formal discussion or entered into any definitive agreements regarding any such purchase. |
| ● | We will also actively consider pursuing collaborative research opportunities with private laboratories in areas of research which overlap the company’s existing research and development. If our financing allows, management will strongly consider increasing the breadth of our research to include protein expression platform technologies. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue collaborative research and product testing opportunities with companies in the biotechnology, materials, textile, and other industries. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue additional collaborative commercialization, marketing, and manufacturing opportunities with companies in the textile and material sectors for the fibers we developed and for any new polymers that we create in 2025 and going forward. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue an uplist to a national exchange if such an opportunity presents itself. |
Limited Operating History
We have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in our research and development efforts. We cannot guarantee that the research and development efforts described in this filing will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources, risks inherent in the research and development process and possible rejection of our products in development.
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our research and development and other operations. Equity financing will result in dilution to existing stockholders.

Note Financing
January 2022
On January 18, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of USD$3,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued upon signing the Securities Purchase Agreement and a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued on or about the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the notes effective (collectively, the First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”). These additional funds, together with those from the previously completed transactions we conducted with Yorkville between December 2020 and March 2021, account for an $8 million total Yorkville investment; as of November 17, 2022, all debentures to Yorkville pursuant thereto have been satisfied. The Company also issued Yorkville a warrant to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.12 per share and a warrant to purchase 4,285,714 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.14 per share. The warrants have a term of five (5) years and can be exercised via cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the applicable warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the applicable warrant shall be reduced to such lower price. The warrants also have the same ownership cap as set forth in the Convertible Debentures, as described below.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures and warrants and with respect to subsequent registration statements, if any, such number of shares of Common Stock as requested by Yorkville not to exceed 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Convertible Debentures then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) such Convertible Debentures are convertible at the then current conversion price and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures set forth therein, in each case subject to any cutbacks set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Upon signing the letter of intent for the Yorkville Transaction, the Company paid $10,000 to an affiliate of Yorkville, for due diligence and structuring.
The Securities Purchase Agreement also contained customary representation and warranties of the Company and the Investor, indemnification obligations of the Company, termination provisions, and other obligations and rights of the parties.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Convertible Debentures, Warrant, Security Agreement, IP Security Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Guaranty Agreement is qualified by reference to the full text of the forms of Securities Purchase Agreement, Convertible Debenture and Warrant, which are filed as Exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Maxim Group LLC received a cash placement agent fee of $230,000.
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement
On January 21, 2025, we entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt limited company (the “Investor”). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the SEPA, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.10.
Pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the right to sell to the Investor up to $10 million of its shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA. Sales of the shares of common stock to the Investor under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell any shares of common stock to the Investor under the SEPA except in connection with notices that may be submitted by the Investor, in certain circumstances as described below.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s purchase obligation set forth in the SEPA, including having a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable under the SEPA declared effective by the SEC, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its discretion until the SEPA is terminated to direct the Investor to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Advance”) by delivering written notice to the Investor (“Advance Notice”). While there is no mandatory minimum amount for any Advance, it may not exceed an amount equal to 100% of the average of the daily traded amount during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding an Advance Notice.
| 30 |
In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any common stock under the SEPA which, when aggregated with all other common stock beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates, would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates (on an aggregated basis) of a number of shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of common shares. In addition, in no event shall an Advance exceed the number of common shares registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the registration statement then in effect.
The Company shall pay the Investor a structuring fee in an amount of $25,000, of which $10,000 has been paid, and $15,000 shall be paid on the earlier of (a) the Closing of the first Advance, or (b) the termination of the SEPA. Additionally, within three days of signing the SEPA (the “Effective Date”), the Company shall pay a commitment fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Commitment Amount (the “Commitment Fee”) consisting of such number of Common Shares that is equal to the Commitment Fee divided by the average of the daily VWAPs of the Common Shares during the 3 Trading Days immediately prior to the Effective Date (the “Commitment Shares”). The Commitment Shares issuable hereunder shall be included on the initial Registration Statement.
The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) 36-month anniversary of the Effective Date or (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have made payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA for shares of common stock equal to the Commitment Amount. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five (5) trading days’ prior written notice to the Investor, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued. Neither the Company nor the Investor may assign or transfer their respective rights and obligations under the SEPA, and no provision of the SEPA may be modified or waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by both parties.
The SEPA contains customary representations, warranties, conditions, and indemnification obligations of the parties. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in such agreements were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
The net proceeds received by the Company under the SEPA will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells its shares of common stock to the Investor. The Company expects that any proceeds received from such sales to the Investor will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company sold 2,213,333 shares of Common Stock in exchange for $168,363.
Three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024:

Our revenue, operating expenses, and net loss from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2024, were as follows – some balances on the prior period’s combined financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation:
Net Revenues: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we realized $0 of revenues from our business. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we realized $0 of revenues from our business. The change in revenues between the quarter ended March 31, 2025, and 2023 was $0 or 0%.
Cost of Revenues: Costs of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $0, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a change of $0 or 0%.
Gross Profit: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we realized a gross profit of $0, as compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a change of $0 or 0%.
Research and development expenses: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $23,876 of research and development expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $29,435 of research and development expenses. This was a decrease of $5,559 or 18.89% in 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. This decrease was due to a decrease in research spending.
Professional Fees: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we incurred $63,035 of professional expenses, which increased by $13,147 or 17.26% from $76,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and in investor relations services.
Officers Salary: During the three months ended March 31, 2025, officers’ salary expenses decreased to $184,730 or 3.36% from $178,718 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This change was primarily due to a 6.0% annual increase for the Company’s CEO and offset by a bonus paid to the Company’s COO for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses increased by $144,476 or 87.89% to $308,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $164,375 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted of other general and administrative expenses (which includes expenses such as auto, business development, SEC filings, investor relations, general office, warrants and shares issued for services) of $138,161, travel of $10,900, and office salary of $129,790 for a total of $308,851.
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of other general and administrative expenses (which includes expenses such as auto, business development, SEC filings, investor relations, general office, warrants and shares issued for services) of $5,007, travel of $13,366, and office salary of $111,048 for a total of $164,375.
| 32 |
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation on Investment in Gold Bullion: Net change in unrealized appreciation on investment in gold bullion increased by $73,925 to $117,488 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from appreciation of $43,563 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a net change in unrealized appreciation on investment in gold bullion.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased by $10,414 to $140,348 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from $129,934 for the three month period ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to interest on certain Company loans.
Net Loss: Net loss increased by $92,158, or 18.15%, to a net loss of $600,033 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 from a net loss of $507,875 for the three month period ending March 31, 2024. This increase in net loss was primarily attributable to increases in general and administrative expenses, officers’ salary, and offset by a decrease in research and development and professional fees.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we have a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the unaudited condensed financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $600,033 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The accumulated deficit is $53,685,752 at March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 2 for our discussion of stockholder deficit. We have been funding our operations through private loans and the sale of common stock in private placement transactions. Our cash resources are insufficient to meet our planned business objectives without additional financing. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our 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 our company to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to develop and expand our business before significant positive operating cash flows can be achieved. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At March 31, 2025, we had $397,001 of cash on hand. These funds are insufficient to complete our business plan and as a consequence, we will need to seek additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) controlling overhead and expenses; and (c) executing material sales or research contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. As of the date of this Report, we have not entered into any formal agreements regarding the above.
| 33 |
In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
Cash and cash equivalents, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities, and total liabilities as of March 31, 2025, as compared to December 31, 2024, were as follows:

At March 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $9,373,405, compared to a working capital deficit of $8,874,143 at December 31, 2024. Current liabilities increased to $9,826,119 at March 31, 2025, from $9,614,428 at December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of accounts payable – related party.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in operations of $434,499 was the result of a net loss of $600,033 offset by depreciation expense of $5,683, net change in unrealized appreciation in gold bullions of $117,488, warrants issuance of $34,487, imputed interest on related party loans of $19,936, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $11,308, a decrease in operating lease right of use of $13,520, an increase of accrued expenses and other payables-related party of $195,647, decrease in accounts payable of $12,450 and a decrease in operating lease liabilities of $14,206.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in operations of $489,527 was the result of a net loss of $507,875 offset by depreciation expense of $6,729, net change in unrealized appreciation in gold bullions of $43,563, warrants issuance/cancellation of $67,155, imputed interest on related party loans of $20,157, decrease in prepaid expenses of $10,858, and an increase in operating lease right of use of $11,865, an increase of accrued expenses and other payables-related party of $123,152, decrease in accounts payable of $32,181 and an increase in operating lease liabilities of $11,514.
Net cash used in our investing activities were $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively.
| 34 |
Our financing activities resulted in a cash inflow of $158,237 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which is represented by $168,237 proceeds from the sale of stock and $10,000 payment in debt offering costs.
Our financing activities resulted in a cash outflow of $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which is represented by $15,000 loan repayment.
Critical Accounting Policies
Please refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for disclosures regarding the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates, as well as updates further disclosed in our interim financial statements as described in this Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to require enhanced disclosures that include reportable segment expenses. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose significant segment expenses, segment profit or loss (after significant segment expenses), and allows reporting of additional measures of a segments profit or loss if used in assessing segment performance. Such disclosures apply to entities with a single reportable segment. These amendments were effective for the Company in 2024 and retrospectively to all prior periods using the significant segment expense categories identified. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization in commonly presented expense captions such as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expense, and research and development. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2027, applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted, and interim periods beginning in 2028. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2027 for annual periods and in 2028 for interim periods. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, as the requirements only require more detailed disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements - Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements to remove various references to concepts statements from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This guidance is to clarify guidance, simplify wording or structure of guidance, and other minor improvements. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-01, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards, to clarify whether profits interest and similar awards should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The guidance applies to all business entities that issue profits interest awards as compensation to employees or nonemployees in exchange for goods or services. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual and interim periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. As the Company does not issue profit interest awards, the impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.
| 35 |
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to require enhanced income tax disclosures to provide information to assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks, tax planning, and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. The amendments in this update provide that a business entity disclose (1) a tabular income tax rate reconciliation, using both percentages and amounts, (2) separate disclosure of any individual reconciling items that are equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying the income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes by the applicable statutory income tax rate, and disaggregation of certain items that are significant and (3) amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state and foreign jurisdictions, including separate disclosure of any individual jurisdictions greater than 5% of total income taxes paid. These amendments are effective for the Company for annual periods in 2025, applied prospectively, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company intends to adopt the amendments in this update prospectively in 2025. The impact of the adoption of the amendments in this update is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations, since the amendments require only enhancement of existing income tax disclosures in the footnotes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

As of the end of our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon those evaluations, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2025, to cause the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods prescribed by SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Going forward from this filing, the Company intends to work on establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are designed to be effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance of achieving the desired objectives. Also, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter covered by this Report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting. Although we continue to educate our management personnel to increase its ability to comply with the disclosure requirements and financial reporting controls and management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future, as we stated in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, we do not expect to remediate the weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting until the time when we start to commercialize a recombinant fiber or such time as we have sufficient cash flow to carry out our remediation plans.
