NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company acquires assets still in development and enters R&D arrangements with third parties that often require milestone and royalty payments to the third-party contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events linked to the success of the asset in development. Milestone payments may be required, contingent upon the successful achievement of an important point in the development lifecycle of the pharmaceutical product (e.g., approval of the product for marketing by a regulatory agency). If required by the license agreements, the Company may have to make royalty payments based upon a percentage of the sales of the pharmaceutical products if regulatory approval for marketing is obtained. For the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company expensed $95,157 and $96,016, respectively, in research and development expenses within the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. There have been no recognized costs related to royalty payments.
There are future royalty payments as follows:
Office Lease
In January 2023, the Company entered into a month-to-month agreement of the Las Vegas office space, commencing on May 1, 2023. Additionally, the Company rents storage space pursuant to a month-to-month agreement in Laguna Hills, California.
Rent expenses for these offices for the three months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024 were $7,131 and $7,210, respectively.
With the month-to-month office rental agreements there are no aggregate future minimum lease payments required to be made.
Service Agreements
The Company has entered into several service agreements with independent and related parties pursuant to which services will be provided over a specified period-of-time related to the IND which the FDA has placed on clinical hold. The services include regulatory affairs strategy, advice and follow-up work on the IND and services related to having the clinical hold lifted. The total remaining cost is estimated to be approximately $591,000, of which the related party (SG Austria and its subsidiaries) portion will be approximately $157,000. These amounts take into account some of the cost associated with the work and preclinical studies required to lift the clinical hold.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of pending claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe that the outcome of any pending claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results.
On May 16, 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and release agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC relating to a complaint filed on December 4, 2023, alleging a breach of contract. The Settlement Agreement resolved fully all differences, disputes or claims without admitting any liability, fault or wrongdoing on the part of all parties. The Settlement Agreement required the Company to pay $1.55 million, comprised of an initial payment of $1.25 million paid on May 20, 2025, and twelve equal payments of $25,000 beginning on the one-month anniversary of the initial payment. On May 16, 2025, as part of the settlement, the Company also issued warrants “(First Warrant Issuance”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $4.00 per share and a term of five years from the issuance date. On July 29, 2025, as part of the settlement, the Company issued additional warrants (“Additional Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $4.00 per share and a term of five years. See Note 6 – Stock Options and Warrants.
To our knowledge there are no other legal proceedings pending to which any property of the Company is subject.
