MYMETICS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2020
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
Note 1. The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
 
The amounts in the notes are shown in thousands of EURO, unless otherwise noted, and rounded to the nearest thousand except for share and per share amounts.
 
  The accompanying interim period consolidated financial statements of Mymetics Corporation (the "Company") set forth herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. The interim period consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
 
  The accompanying financial statements of the Company are unaudited. However, in the opinion of the Company, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments made during the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2020 were of a normal and recurring nature.
 
  The Company was created for the purpose of engaging in vaccine research and development. Its main research efforts in the beginning have been concentrated in the prevention and treatment of the AIDS virus and malaria. The Company has established a network which enables it to work with education centers, research centers, pharmaceutical laboratories and biotechnology companies. Besides the HIV and malaria vaccine candidates under development, the Company additionally has the following vaccines in its pipeline; (i) Herpes Simplex which is at the pre-clinical stage and currently on hold, (ii) influenza for elderly which has finished a clinical trial Phase I, (iii) Respiratory Syncytial Virus (“RSV”) which is at the pre-clinical stage and currently on hold and (iv) Chikungunya virus at the discovery stage and currently on hold.
 
  As of June 30, 2020, the Company was engaged in the pre-clinical testing of some of its vaccine candidates but a commercially viable product is not expected for several more years. However, the Company generated some revenue as of the prior quarter through collaboration and grant agreements. The Company is working on several research projects with commercial partners for immunotherapy in the fields of allergy and oncology and for some infectious diseases with academic partners. Since April 2020 the Company has additionally started to work on the development of a virosome-based vaccine to prevent Covid-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. For the Covid-19 vaccine candidates the Company is collaborating with leading academic institutions, such as Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. The allergy project is in collaboration with Anergis SA, for which the Company prepared virosome-based vaccines which include Anergis peptides for treating birch pollen allergy. These formulations were tested in two preclinical studies, compared to the Anergis’ earlier formulations and other comparators, and showed successful results.
 
  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations and significant losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of €91,057 at June 30, 2020. Further, the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by €60,049 as of June 30, 2020, and there is no assurance that cash will become available to pay current liabilities in the near term. Management is seeking additional financing but there can be no assurance that management will be successful in any of those efforts. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance of the financial statements.
 
 IMPACT OF THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS
 
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
 
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.
 
 
 
 
Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, scientific collaborations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.
 
The Company’s partner for the oncology immunotherapy project in the Netherlands has decreased their laboratory experiments due to reduced operating hours in those facilities. While the Company considers this disruption to be temporary, continued disruption in this project will lead to delayed advances by the Company of its research and could negatively impact future revenue in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
The Company is dependent on its workforce to deliver and advance its research. Developments such as physical distancing and working from home directives have and will continue to impact the Company’s ability to deploy its workforce effectively. While expected to be temporary, prolonged workforce disruptions may negatively impact future revenues in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
The Company is dependent on its partners in certain projects, such as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (“ULL”) for the NIH funded project to maintain the agreed timelines and execute their tasks. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives and lock-down directives have and will continue to impact the Company’s ability to execute on project plans and research objectives effectively. While expected to be temporary, prolonged disruptions in collaboration projects may negatively impact funding in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.
 
CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF AND ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT
 
On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes various income and payroll tax provisions. The Company has analyzed the tax provisions of the CARES Act and determined they have no significant financial impact to the condensed financial statements. The Company has no intention of taking advantage of other benefits provided by the CARES Act but will continue to evaluate the impact on the Company’s financial position.
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
  On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, to improve the effectiveness of disclosures. The amendments remove, modify, and add certain disclosure requirements in Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption had no impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
The Company translates non-Euro assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the period. Unrealized gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of comprehensive income. Transaction gains or losses are included in foreign exchange (gain) loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations. The Company's reporting currency is the Euro because substantially all of the Company's activities are conducted in Europe.
 
CASH
 
  The Company consider all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash deposits are occasionally in excess of insured amounts.
 
 
 
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
  The Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASU No. 2014-19, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (“Topic 606”), the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of Topic 606, the Company assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
 
  The Company has concluded that government grants are not within the scope of Topic 606, as they do not meet the definition of a contract with a “customer”. The Company concluded the definition of a contract with a “customer” was not met as the counterparty to the government grants has not contracted to obtain goods or services and thus the contracts are not considered to have commercial substance. Government grants provide the Company with payments for certain types of expenditures related to research and development activities over a contractually defined period. Revenue from government grants is recognized in the period during which the related costs are incurred, provided that the applicable conditions under the government contracts have been met.
 
NIH
 
  On April 29, 2019, the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) awarded the Company and Texas Biomedical Research Institute (“Texas Biomed”) a five-year grant for the project called “Cold Chain-independent, Needle-free Mucosal Virosomal Vaccine to Prevent HIV-1 Acquisition at Mucosal Levels”. The project started on May 1, 2019 and is planned for five years. The overall budget related to the project is USD 8,850, with USD 1,940 approved for the first year, and USD 1,856 for the second year. The overall portion of the grant allocated to the Company is USD 5,930, with USD 1,190 approved for the first year, and USD 1,052 for the second year. It was initially co-led by Texas Biomed, but due to the move of Dr. Ruth Ruprecht, the Co-Principal Investigator, to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (“ULL”) at the end of 2019, ULL has become the co-lead with Mymetics for this project. To date, the Company has recognized €903 of grant revenue from the NIH, of which €389 and €135 have been recognized during the six and three months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. First results are expected to be reported in 2020.
 
  The project has the objective to prepare the Company’s promising HIV-1 vaccine candidate for clinical trials, by first executing a non-human primate (“NHP”) study, where the test subjects will be receiving Mymetics’ virosome based HIV-1 vaccine candidate by several intra-muscular and intra-nasal applications, followed by rectal challenges. As of June 30, 2020, Mymetics has successfully produced two sets of virosome based vaccines and the NHPs have received two intramuscular vaccinations and three intranasal vaccinations. The vaccinations were well tolerated and there were no safety issues. This study is ongoing. The vaccine is created to induce protective mucosal antibodies acting as a frontline defense against sexual HIV transmission. This newly awarded grant from the NIH can continue some of the developments that were achieved during the European Horizon 2020 project.
 
License Agreement – UPPERTON Ltd.
 
  On July 26, 2019 Mymetics and Upperton Ltd. signed a License Agreement (the “Agreement”) that sets out the rights and obligations of the two parties with respect to the development, manufacturing and exploitation of certain virus-like particles based vaccines (which includes virosomes) into solid (powder or tablet) form that are based on each party’s background or pre-existing intellectual property (“IP”) and the foreground IP rights or the IP that was developed by either party or both parties during the Maciviva project and could be developed during future collaborations.
 
  Under the terms of the Agreement Mymetics receives an exclusive and royalty-free, worldwide license to use the Upperton background IP for the development, research, sale or in/out license for virus-like particle vaccines that use the foreground IP rights. All title, right and interest in and to all foreground IP rights vests in Mymetics for such development, research, sale or in/out license, and Mymetics is free to use and exploit such foreground IP rights. Mymetics has provided Upperton the non-exclusive license to manufacture virus-like particle-based vaccines for third parties for indications other than respiratory viruses, certain allergies, HIV, malaria and chikungunya. For these foreground IP licenses, the parties have agreed to pay each other a certain low single digit percentage of revenues, license fees and royalties that each of the parties receives from their exploitation. No revenue has been received nor recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
 
 
 
 
License Agreement – ANERGIS SA
 
  In December 2018, the Company announced that the success criteria of the Research and Option to License Agreement with Anergis SA (“Anergis”) had been met. Under the terms of the Research Agreement, a pre-clinical study program evaluated the immunogenicity profile of the Anergis’ peptides designed to treat birch allergy when presented on Mymetics’ proprietary virosomes, with or without undisclosed TLR ligands or other adjuvants, and these results were compared to Anergis’ AllerT product combination. In October 2019 Anergis started a new evaluation study in collaboration with Stallergenes Greer SA, in which the Mymetics COP virosomes were evaluated in a preclinical study. On May 28, 2020 the Company announced that Stallergenes Greer and Anergis reported the results of the joint research study (the second study) evaluating the effects of the second generation Contiguous Overlapping Peptides (COP) allergen immunotherapy in a therapeutic model of birch allergy, with the aim of shortening the AIT administration schemes. In the second study, conducted by Stallergenes Greer, COP-Virosomes, and COP and virosomes alone were compared to a placebo group in an in-house therapeutic model of birch pollen allergy. Recombinant Bet v 1 alone (the major allergen of birch pollen) and birch extract were also used as controls in this setting. COP-virosomes were the only synthetic therapy able to fully reverse asthma symptoms as well as lung inflammation (i.e., significant reduction in eosinophils in bronchial fluids). Pro-allergic immune responses also decreased with COP-virosome therapy with a significant decrease of the IL-4, a Th2 cytokine.
 
Anergis had a time limited option to license the virosomes from Mymetics in the field of allergies that requires Anergis to raise funds from third parties to pay Mymetics the license fee under the terms of the License and Collaboration Agreement and the clinical development. Although the option to license has expired as Anergis has not yet been able to raise sufficient funds, Anergis and Mymetics are currently in negotiation about a possible business relationship, but there is no assurance that this will be concluded. No revenue has been received nor recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
 
RECEIVABLES
 
Receivables are stated at their outstanding principal balances. Management reviews the collectability of receivables on a periodic basis and determines the appropriate amount of any allowance. There was no allowance necessary at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019. The Company writes off receivables to the allowance when management determines that a receivable is not collectible. The Company may retain a security interest in the products sold.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is depreciated over its estimated useful life on straight-line basis from the date placed in service. Estimated useful lives are usually taken as three years.
 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS
 
Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, are assessed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. The impairment testing involves comparing the carrying amount to the forecasted undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset. In the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows generated by that asset and the carrying value is not considered recoverable, impairment exists. An impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, calculated using a discounted future cash flow method. An impairment loss would be recognized in net income (loss) in the period that the impairment occurs.
 
GOODWILL
 
  Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business acquired. The Company typically performs its annual goodwill impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that time. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors, the Company determined that no further testing was necessary. If further testing was necessary, the Company would determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. The Company has one reporting unit.
 
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
TAXES ON INCOME
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
 
 
 
 
The Company reports a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense and other expense, respectively.
 
The Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties at June 30, 2020, or December 31, 2019. The Company’s United States tax returns are open to audit for the years ended December 31, 2015 to 2018. The returns for the Swiss subsidiary, Mymetics S.A., are open to audit for the year ended December 31, 2019. The returns for the Netherlands subsidiaries, Bestewil B.V. and Mymetics B.V., are open to audit for the year ended December 31, 2019.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
  Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted earnings per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities. For the periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, options and convertible debt were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to net losses incurred under the treasury stock method.
 
  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the basic weighted and diluted average number of shares was 303,757,622. The total potential number of shares issuable of 712,281,117 at June 30, 2020 includes 685,531,117 potential issuable shares related to convertible loans, and 26,750,000 potential issuable shares related to outstanding stock options granted to employees.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the basic weighted and diluted average number of shares was 303,757,622. The total potential number of shares issuable of 678,083,281 at June 30, 2019 includes 648,983,281 potential issuable shares related to convertible loans, and 29,100,000 potential issuable shares related to outstanding stock options granted to employees.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
The Company has authorized 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock that may be issued in several series with varying dividend, conversion and voting rights. No preferred shares are issued or outstanding at June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
 
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
  Compensation cost for all share-based payments is based on the estimated grant-date fair value. The Company amortizes stock compensation cost ratably over the requisite service period.
 
The issuance of common shares for services is recorded at the quoted price of the shares on the date the shares are issued. No shares were issued to individuals as fee for services rendered in the six months ended June 30, 2020 nor in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
 
During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, stock compensation expense amounted to €0 and €0, respectively. Stock compensation expense amounted to €0 and €2 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss within general and administrative expenses.
 
ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Fair value guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
 
Level  1-
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level  2-
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level  3-
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company generally has the following financial instruments: cash, receivables, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying value of cash, receivables and accounts payable, approximates their fair value based on the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Management believes that it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the notes payable due to the unique nature of these instruments.
 
 
 
 
CONCENTRATIONS
 
  The Company derived 100% of grant revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 93% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 from one grantor, respectively.
 
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Mr. Ernest M. Stern, the Company’s outside U.S. counsel, is both a director of the Company and is a partner in Culhane Meadows PLLC, the firm retained as legal counsel by the Company. The Company incurred professional fees to the counsel's law firms totaling €11 and €5 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively; and €22 and €13 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
 
Two of the Company’s major shareholders have granted secured convertible notes and short-term convertible notes and promissory notes, which have a total carrying amount of €60,713 including interest due as of June 30, 2020. Conversion prices on the Euro-denominated convertible debt have been fixed to a fixed Euro/US dollar exchange rate.
 
Note 2. Debt Financing
 
Certain principal shareholders have granted the Company secured convertible notes (in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in the State of Delaware), short term convertible notes and other short-term notes, which have a total carrying value of €61,131 including interest due to date.

IMPACT OF THE NOVEL CORONAVIRUS
 
  On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
 
  The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.
 
  Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, scientific collaborations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.
 
  The Company’s partner for the oncology immunotherapy project in the Netherlands has decreased their laboratory experiments due to reduced operating hours in those facilities. While the Company considers this disruption to be temporary, continued disruption in this project will lead to delayed advances by the Company of its research and could negatively impact future revenue in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
  The Company is dependent on its workforce to deliver and advance its research. Developments such as physical distancing and working from home directives have and will continue to impact the Company’s ability to deploy its workforce effectively. While expected to be temporary, prolonged workforce disruptions may negatively impact future revenues in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
  The Company is dependent on its partners in certain projects, such as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (“ULL”) for the NIH funded project to maintain the agreed timelines and execute their tasks. Developments such as social distancing and shelter-in-place directives and lock-down directives have and will continue to impact the Company’s ability to execute on project plans and research objectives effectively. While expected to be temporary, prolonged disruptions in collaboration projects may negatively impact funding in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
  Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.
 
 
 
 
CORONAVIRUS AID, RELIEF AND ECONOMIC SECURITY ACT
 
  On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes various income and payroll tax provisions. The Company has analyzed the tax provisions of the CARES Act and determined they have no significant financial impact to the condensed financial statements. The Company has no intention of taking advantage of other benefits but will continue to evaluate the impact on the Company’s financial position.
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2020 revenue was €145, of which €134 was related to the revenue recognized for the work performed under the NIH grant / HIV project and the remaining for a small pre-clinical research project with a US academic institution, and €128 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, mainly related to the revenue recognized for the work performed under the “Cold Chain-independent, Needle-free Mucosal Virosomal Vaccine to Prevent HIV-1 Acquisition at Mucosal Levels” grant (“NIH grant”) provided by the NIH via Texas Biomedical Institute.
 
Costs and expenses increased to €501 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from €436 (14.9%) for the three months ended June 30, 2019, mainly due to higher research and development subcontracting services during the same period in 2020, related to the “NIH grant” project.
 
  Research and development expenses increased to €252 in the current period from €210 (20.0%) in the comparative period of 2019, mainly due to higher subcontracting services in relation with the “NIH grant” project incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
 
General and administrative expenses increased to €296 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from €249 (18.9%) in the comparative period of 2019, mainly due to the directors and officers (“D&O”) liability annual insurance premium expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
 
Interest expense increased to €676 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 from €667 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 related to an increase in existing loans from related parties.
 
The Company reported a net loss of (€1,031), or (€0.00) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of (€982), or (€0.00) per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2019.
 
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020 AND 2019
 
Revenue was €417 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, with €389 related to the revenue recognized for the work performed under the NIH grant / HIV project and the remaining for a small pre-clinical research project with a US academic institution, and E128 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, related to the revenue recognized for the work performed under the NIH grant provided by the NIH via Texas Biomedical Institute.
 
Costs and expenses increased to €1,254 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €995 (26.0%) for the six months ended June 30, 2019, mainly due to higher research and development subcontracting services during the same period in 2020, related to the “NIH grant” project.
 
Research and development expenses increased to €574 in the current period from €425 (35.1%) in the comparative period of 2019, mainly due to higher subcontracting services during the same period in 2019 related to the “NIH grant” project.
 
General and administrative expenses increased to €621 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from €527 (17.8%) in the comparative period of 2019, mainly due to the D&O liability annual insurance premium expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
 
Foreign exchange revaluation generated a net loss of €38 and €22 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which is due to the revaluation of existing US$ based loans from related parties and US$ cash position.
 
The Company reported a net loss of (€2,195), or (€0.01) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a net loss of (€2,210), or (€0.01) per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
 
 
 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
We had cash of €1,135 at June 30, 2020 compared to €683 at December 31, 2019.
 
  During 2019 our revenue has been generated through the “NIH grant” project. New significant revenues will not be expected, unless and until a major licensing agreement or other commercial arrangement is entered into with respect to our technology or new grant financings are awarded.
 
As of June 30, 2020, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately €91 million, and had net loss of €2,195 in the six-month period ending on that date. We expect to continue to incur net losses in the future for research, development and activities related to the future licensing of our technologies, and because of the accrual of interest payable on existing loans.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was €808 and €487 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase was mainly due to a decrease in account receivables during the six-month period ending June 30, 2019 related to final funding received from the “Maciviva” project.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was €5 during the six-months ended June 30, 2020 and NIL during the same period in 2019.
 
Financing activities provided net cash of €1,258 for the six-months ended June 30, 2020, which includes €1,100 of promissory notes from our main investors and €158 of borrowings on a Swiss Federal credit line in relation with the Covid-19, and €600 for the six-months ended June 30, 2019, related to promissory notes from our main investors.
 
  Salaries and related payroll costs represent gross salaries for two executives, our CSO of Mymetics BV and seven employees. Under Executive Employment Agreements with our CEO and two CSOs, we pay our executive officers a combined amount of €65 per month.
 
  Our Swiss subsidiary, Mymetics S.A., has, besides the CEO and CSO, two additional employees on its payroll: Director of Finance and Head of Manufacturing and Quality. Mymetics BV has, besides the full time Chief Scientific Officer, two full-time technicians and one part-time assistant.
 
  We intend to continue to incur additional expenditures during the next nine months for additional research and development of our HIV, Covid-19 vaccine development project and immunotherapy projects, which we will try to seek through collaborations with pharmaceutical companies or with not-for-profit organizations. These expenditures will relate to the continued research and testing of these prototype vaccines and are included in the monthly cash outflow described above.
 
  In the past, we have financed our research and development activities primarily through debt and equity financings from various parties and through license and collaboration agreements and grant agreements.
 
  We anticipate that our normal operations will require approximately €900 of cash in the year ending December 31, 2020. We will seek to raise the required capital from equity or debt financings, and grants through donors and potential partnerships with major international pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on satisfactory terms, or at all, to finance our operations. In the event that we are not able to obtain such additional capital, we will be required to further restrict or even cease our operations.
 
Monthly fixed and recurring expenses for "Property leases" of €13 represent the monthly lease and maintenance payments to unaffiliated third parties for our offices, of which €4 is related to our executive office located at Route de la Corniche 4, 1066 Epalinges in Switzerland (100 square meters), and €9 related to Bestewil Holding B.V. and its subsidiary Mymetics B.V operating from a similar biotechnology campus near Leiden in the Netherlands, where they occupy 204 square meters.
 
Included in professional fees are legal fees paid to outside corporate counsel and audit and review fees paid to our independent accountants, and fees paid for investor relations.
 
Cumulative interest expense of €27,150 has been accrued on all of the Company’s outstanding notes and advances (see detailed table in Note 2 to the financial statements).
 
Anergis is investigating the possibility to fund a license agreement with Mymetics, but for now nothing is confirmed. In May 2019, the Company started an NIH grant funded project to evaluate the HIV vaccine in a non-human primate study and prepare for clinical trials. Since April 2020 the Company has started to work on the development of a virosome-based vaccine to prevent Covid-19, the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus and has attracted some in-kind contributions from the European Community through their Transvac2 program. For the Covid-19 vaccine candidates the Company is collaborating with leading academic institutions, like Baylor College of Medicine in Texas. Management believes that the Company’s research and development activities will result in valuable intellectual property that can generate significant revenues in the future through licensing since the Company believes that vaccines are one of the fastest growing markets in the pharmaceutical industry.
 
 
 
 
RECENT FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
  During the six month period ending June 30, 2020, our principal source of funds has been promissory notes received in a prior quarter from our two main investors and the revenue generated through the NIH grant / HIV project.
 
  We have filed or are in the process of filing several new grant applications with U.S. and European institutions in relation to our virosome based vaccines.
 
  We anticipate using our current funds and those we receive in the future both to meet our working capital needs and for funding the ongoing vaccines pre-clinical research costs for new virosome vaccine.
 
  Management anticipates that our existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements through the next six months. We have cash presently on hand in conjunction with the collection of receivables, based upon our current levels of expenditures and anticipated needs during this period. For 2020, we will need additional funding through future collaborative arrangements, licensing arrangements, and debt and equity financings under Regulation D and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933. We do not know whether additional financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms when needed. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
 
  If management cannot raise funds on acceptable terms when needed, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our technologies, take advantage of future opportunities, or respond to unanticipated requirements. If unable to secure such additional financing when needed, we will have to curtail or suspend all or a portion of our business activities and could be required to cease operations entirely. Further, if new equity securities are issued, our shareholders may experience severe dilution of their ownership percentage.
 
  The extent and timing of our future capital requirements will depend primarily upon the rate of our progress in the research and development of our technologies, our ability to enter into a partnership agreement with a major pharmaceutical company, and the results of our present projects and future clinical trials.
 
  On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
 
  The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations.
 
  Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, scientific collaborations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.
 
  The Company’s partner for the oncology immunotherapy project in the Netherlands has decreased their laboratory experiments due to reduced operating hours in those facilities. While the Company considers this disruption to be temporary, continued disruption in this project will lead to delayed advances by the Company of its research and could negatively impact future revenue in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
  The Company is dependent on its workforce to deliver and advance its research. Developments such as physical distancing and working from home directives will impact the Company’s ability to deploy its workforce effectively. While expected to be temporary, prolonged workforce disruptions may negatively impact future revenues in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
  The Company is dependent on its partners in certain projects, such as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (“ULL”) for the NIH funded project to maintain the agreed timelines and execute their tasks.

While expected to be temporary, prolonged disruptions in collaboration projects may negatively impact funding in fiscal year 2020 and the Company’s overall liquidity.
 
  Although the Company cannot estimate the length or gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2020.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
INTEREST RATE RISK
 
Fluctuations in interest rates may affect the fair value of financial instruments. An increase in market interest rates may increase interest payments and a decrease in market interest rates may decrease interest payments of such financial instruments. We have no debt obligations which are sensitive to interest rate fluctuations as all our notes payable have fixed interest rates, as specified on the individual loan notes.
 
ITEM 4. 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure 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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
No changes of internal control over financial reporting were made in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
 
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
 
Our management, Ronald Kempers, who is both CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
