Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2024
(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 September 30, 2024, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024.
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 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.
| 8 |
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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023, and 2022, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.

Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use. These costs also include the expensing of employee compensation and employee stock based compensation.
For
the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company had $

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 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 March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 was effective for the Company January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on 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.
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.
| 10 |
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 September 30, 2024, and 2023. | |
| ● | 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:
| September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Board of Directors, who serves as the Custodian, is responsible for the safekeeping of gold bullion owned by the Company.
| 11 |
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 fair value of the treasury bills is based on quoted market prices in an active market. The Company has determined the fair value based on financial factors that are considered level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
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.
The following tables summarize activity in gold bullion for the quarter ended September 30, 2024:

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, 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 September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023,
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 September
30, 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
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Investments without a Readily Determinable Fair Value (Cost Method)
Investments in nonmarketable entities in which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence, our “Cost Method Investments,” are accounted for at our initial cost, minus any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
The following information should be read in conjunction with Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) condensed unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Information in this Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q that does not consist of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements.” Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “anticipates,” “presume,” and “assume” constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, are not a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond our control. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated as a result of the factors described in the “Risk Factors” and detailed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, international, national and local general economic and market conditions: demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its growth; the ability of the Company to successfully make and integrate acquisitions; raw material costs and availability; new product development and introduction; existing government regulations and changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulations; adverse publicity; competition; the loss of significant customers or suppliers; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting operating results; changes in business strategy or development plans; business disruptions; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the ability to obtain sufficient financing to continue and expand business operations; the ability to develop technology and products; changes in technology and the development of technology and intellectual property by competitors; the ability to protect technology and develop intellectual property; and other factors referenced in this and previous filings. Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results.
Because of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report or incorporated by reference might not transpire. Factors that cause actual results or conditions to differ from those anticipated by these and other forward-looking statements include those more fully described elsewhere in this report and in the “Risk Factors” section of our registration statement on Form S-1.
The Company disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this report.
Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. Kraig Labs was organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications in technical textile. We use genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create our recombinant spider silk. Potential applications include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics and more. We believe that we have been a leader in the research and development of commercially scalable and cost-effective spider silk for technical textile and non-fibrous applications. Our primary proprietary fiber technology includes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. Our business brings twenty-first century biotechnology to the historical silk industry, permitting us to introduce materials with innovative properties and claims into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning and weaving, and manufacture of garments and other products that can include our specialty fibers and textiles. Specialty fibers are engineered for specific uses that require exceptional strength, flexibility, heat resistance and/or chemical resistance. The specialty fiber market is exemplified by two synthetic fiber products that come from petroleum derivatives: (1) aramid fibers; and (2) ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The technical textile industry involves products for both industrial and consumer products, such as filtration fabrics, medical textiles (e.g., sutures and artificial ligaments), safety and protective clothing and fabrics used in military and aerospace applications (e.g., high-strength composite materials).
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency and flexibility for use in our target markets, namely the specialty fiber and technical textile industries.
| 25 |
We are continuing to work with our non-CRISPR Cas9 platform technology to accelerate our R&D operations. We are refining that approach for our targeted end-market applications. We are simultaneously working with other technologies to advance, accelerate, and broaden our genetic engineering capabilities. All of these systems are built on our eco-friendly and cost-effective silkworm production system, which we believe is more advanced than current competing methods. Knock-in knock-out technology allows for the targeting of specific locations and genetic traits for modification, addition, and removal. We are implementing these gene editing technologies to develop new protein structures well beyond the native spider silk sequences that were used to create our Monster silk and dragon silk lines.
Based on our internal analysis, management believes that these new platform technologies will allow us to outpace and surpass the performance of Dragon Silk, a fiber that we developed with our previous tools. Samples of Dragon Silk have already demonstrated to be tougher than many fibers used in bullet proof vests. We expect that this new approach will yield materials beyond those capabilities based upon its potential for significantly improved purity.
In August 2019, we received authorization from governmental authorities to begin rearing genetically enhanced silkworms at our production facility in Vietnam. In October 2019, the Company delivered the first batch of these silkworms and began operations. These silkworms served as the basis for the commercial expansion of our proprietary silk technology. On November 4, 2019, we reported that we had successfully completed rearing the first batch of its transgenic silkworms at the Quang Nam production factory. Seasonal challenges in late December 2019 slowed production operations, and governmental restrictions imposed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic further delayed our operations in 2020. In 2021, we received the first shipment of silk from our factory in Vietnam despite obstacles relating to the global pandemic. Production operations in 2022 and early 2023 were hampered by unseasonable climate fluctuations and poor robustness of the silkworm strains we were utilizing at that time. To address these challenges, we have taken significant steps to improve the genetics of our silkworms and radically improve our internal procedures at Kraig labs and Prodigy Textiles to strengthen our operations. We believe that we will be able to target metric tons of capacity of our recombinant spider silk fiber per annum from our operations once we overcome the current challenges and reach maximum utilization. This capacity will allow us to address the initial demand for our products and materials for various applications in the protective, performance, and luxury textile markets.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our financial statements as of December 31, 2023, includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency at December 31, 2023, 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 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. This will involve new selective breed protocols, the creation of new hybrids, and the development of new transgenics utilizing plasmids that are already in an advanced state of development. |

| ● | We plan to develop a line of fabrics and apparel, to create a line of spider silk based fashion and performance wear. The company plans to pursue this market entry in combination with one or more joint venture or development partners. |

|
| ● | We will also actively consider pursuing collaborative research opportunities with private laboratories in areas of research that overlap the company’s existing research and development. One such potential area for collaborative research that the company is considering is protein expression platforms. 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 2024 and going forward. |
| ● | We plan to actively pursue the development of commercial scale production of our recombinant materials including under the brand names: Monster Silk®, Dragon SilkTM, SpydaSilkTM, and SpydraTM. |
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.

Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world relating to coronavirus include restrictions on travel, quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. Governmental actions taken relating to coronavirus are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While the closures and limitations on movement, domestically and internationally, are expected to be temporary, if these actions continue, the duration of the supply chain disruption could reduce the availability or result in delays, of materials or supplies to and from the Company, which in turn could materially interrupt the Company’s business operations. Given the speed and frequency of the continuously evolving developments with respect to this pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the impact to its consolidated results of operations. We have taken every known and reasonable precaution possible to ensure the safety of our employees.
On March 19, 2020, we furloughed non-essential staff in response to governmental regulations relating to COVID. This decision primarily impacted staff at our fully owned subsidiary, Prodigy Textiles, in Vietnam and resulted in the temporary closing of silk rearing operations at that facility. As of the date hereof, we have resumed silk production operations at the factory in Vietnam. The Company supported its furloughed staff and paid their salaries during all mandatory closures. During the duration of the furlough, the Company’s CEO voluntarily waved the payment or accrual of his salary. The Company leveraged this forced closure time to improve its production infrastructure based on the lessons learned from its operations. After the mandated closure, the Company has enhanced its production operations with process automation, moved its production headquarters to a facility designed for silk production, created a more self-reliant supply chain, and established a microbiology laboratory in its factory for enhanced quality control. On October 24, 2020, silk production operations at the factory resumed.
The actions of governments in response to COVID, both domestic and foreign, impacted our ability to transport goods, people, essential equipment, and other items essential to our production. In turn, these restrictions are impacting our ability to produce intermediate and end products and are delaying our timelines for commercialization and revenue.
Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including losses on inventory; impairment losses related to goodwill and other long-lived assets and current obligations.

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 $2,547,264 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The accumulated deficit is $52,234,044 at September 30, 2024. 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 September 30, 2024, we had $1,190,027 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.
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.

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, 2023, 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
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, or presentation thereof. Management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued through the date these financial statements were available to be issued and found no recent accounting pronouncements issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, when adopted, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminates the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) for creditors in ASC 310, Receivables (Topic 310), and requires entities to provide disclosures about current period gross write-offs by year of origination. Also, ASU 2022-02 updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 was effective for the Company January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2022-02 did not have a material impact on 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of our fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024, 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, 2023, 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.

Part II – Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may become a party to litigation or other legal proceedings that it considers to be a part of the ordinary course of its business. To the best of our knowledge, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, or results of operations; however, the Company may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.
