NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2017 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Business and Basis of Presentation – Enochian Biosciences, Inc. formerly DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc. (“Enochian”, or “Registrant”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”, “we” or “us”) engages in the research and development, manufacturing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biological products for the human treatment of HIV and cancer. The Registrant was originally incorporated in the State of Delaware on January 18, 2011. On March 2, 2018, the Dandrit BioTech USA, Inc. amended its articles of incorporation changing the name of the Company to Enochian Biosciences, Inc.

 

Subsidiaries

EBI owns a perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable, and sole and exclusive worldwide license to research, develop, use, sell, have sold, make, have made, offer for sale, import and otherwise commercialize certain intellectual property in cellular therapies for the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy exclusively for HIV in humans, and research and development exclusively relating to HIV in humans (the “Field”). The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of EBI from the date of the acquisition which was completed on February 16, 2018.

 

DanDrit BioTech A/S, a Danish corporation was incorporated on April 1, 2001 (“DanDrit Denmark”) and is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Registrant (subject to 123,464 common shares of DanDrit Denmark or 3.08% of outstanding shares to be acquired with the 185,053 shares of common stock of the Registrant (“Common Stock”) held in escrow according to Danish law (the “Escrow Shares”)).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation — The functional currency of Enochian and EBI is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of DanDrit Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. Dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. Dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured amounts at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 of $16,768,493 and $3,624,482, respectively.

 

Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from four to nine years (See Note 3).

 

Intangible Assets — Definite life intangible assets include patents and licenses. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. License agreements cost represent the Fair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, patents and licenses are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use is their respective fair values.

 

Revenue Recognition and Sales

The sale of the Company’s product is limited to compassionate use within approved countries. The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB 101), and FASB ASC 605 Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when rights and risk of ownership have passed to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product has been shipped or delivered to the customer, the price and terms are finalized, and collections of resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Products are primarily shipped FOB shipping point at which time title passes to the customer.

 

7

 

 

The sale of the Company’s product, ENO-4001 (previously known as MCV), is limited to compassionate use within approved countries.

 

Performance Obligations

 

We recognized revenue upon completion of our performance obligation. Our performance obligation is the delivery of product. Product revenue performance obligations are completed upon delivery and at that point in time, the control of the product is transferred to the customer and we are entitled to bill the customer for the product delivered.

 

Products are primarily shipped FOB shipping point at which time title passes to the customer.

 

Value Added Tax — In Denmark, Value Added Tax (“VAT”) of 25% of the invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities. VAT of 25% is also paid to Danish and EU vendors on invoices these amounts are refundable from the respective governmental authority and recorded as other receivables in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Research and Development Expenses — The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of the HIV and Cancer therapies and technologies for use in the prevention, treatment, amelioration of and/or therapy for HIV and Cancer.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.

 

Loss Per Share — The Company calculates earnings/(loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive common shares. Potential common shares included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. Because of the net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, the dilutive shares for both periods were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential common shares is anti-dilutive.

  

Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 

  Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

 

  Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.

 

Stock Options and Warrants   -  The Company has granted stock options to certain employees, officers and directors that were subsequently converted to Grant Warrants (See Note 9). During the years presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has granted stock options and warrants. The Company accounts for options and warrants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Non-cash compensation costs for employee compensation and consulting fees for the nine month period ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $217,837 and $626,487, respectively. Non-cash compensation for the three month period ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $105,000 and $0, respectively. Non-cash compensation costs of $626,487 have been recognized for the vesting of options and warrants granted to officers, Board members, employees and consultants with an associated recognized tax benefit of $0 for both periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

The Company follows ASC Topic 505 - 50, formerly EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling Goods and Services,” for stock options and warrants issued to consultants and other non-employees.  In accordance with ASC Topic 505-50, these stock options and warrants issued as compensation for services provided to the Company are accounted for based upon the fair value of the services provided or the estimated fair market value of the option or warrant, whichever can be more clearly determined. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

 

Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates include the fair value and potential impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of fixed assets, and fair value of equity instruments issued.

 

  Reclassification — The financial statements as of June 30, 2017 have been reclassified to conform with the headings used as of March 31, 2018 and included breaking out $1,600,354 in advances for purchase of common shares   from Notes Payable – Related Party to Advances for the Purchase of Common Shares. This reclassification is related to a private placement offering of 1,231,561 Units (see Note 9) for total proceeds to the Company of $1,601,029 that was completed on July 12, 2017, for which some funds were advanced prior to June 30, 2017.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 - Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either financing or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, however early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance.

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

The values assigned in these financial statements are preliminary and represent management’s best estimate of fair values as of the Closing Date. The Company has recorded estimated amounts of the fair market value of the assets acquired.  The determination of the allocation of the purchase price to the underlying tangible and intangible assets in the financial statements are subject to change as additional information becomes available.  As required by ASC 805-20, Business Combinations—Identifiable Assets and Liabilities, and Any Non-controlling Interest, management conducted a review to reassess whether they identified all the assets acquired and all the liabilities assumed, and followed ASC 805-20’s measurement procedures for Closing Date recognition of the fair value of net assets acquired.

NOTE 8 — LEASES

 

Operating Leases — The Registrant leased laboratory and production space under an operating lease agreement which terminated September 30, 2017. The lease called for monthly payments of DKK 6,300 (approximately $1,000 at September 30, 2017).

 

The Registrant had an agreement for use of virtual office space at a rate of $450 per month on a month-to-month basis, which was terminable by either party on one month’s notice. This lease was terminated effective November 30, 2017.

The Leased Premises consist of approximately 2,325 rentable square feet. The base rent for the Leased Premises increases by 3% each year over the Term, and ranges from approximately $8,719 per month for the first year to $10,107 per month for the two months of the sixth year.

Our Business

On January 12, 2018, the Registrant, Acquisition Sub, EBI and Weird Science entered into the Acquisition Agreement. On February 16, 2018, the Acquisition was completed when the Acquisition Sub merged with and into EBI, with EBI as the surviving corporation. As consideration for the Acquisition, the stockholders of EBI received (i) 50% of the number of shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the effective time of the Acquisition, in the aggregate, after giving effect to the Acquisition, and (ii) the right to receive earn-out shares of Common Stock pro rata upon the exercise or conversion of any of the Registrant’s stock options and warrants which were outstanding at closing.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

 As a company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, enacted in April 2012. An “emerging growth company” may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise applicable to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

 

  Reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

 

  No non-binding shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;

 

  Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and

 

  Reduced disclosure of financial information in this prospectus, limited to two years of audited financial information and two years of selected financial information.

 

Each of the foregoing exemptions is currently available to us. We may take advantage of these exemptions until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, which such fifth anniversary will occur on June 30, 2019 or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenues as of the end of a fiscal year, if we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year-period. The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies; provided, however, that an emerging growth company may elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have not elected to opt out of the transition period.

Because we have elected to take advantage of certain of the reduced disclosure obligations and may elect to take advantage of other reduced reporting requirements in future filings, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than you might receive from other public reporting companies in which you hold equity interests.   

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically satisfied our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from our largest shareholders, the issuance of convertible notes (which over time have been converted into shares of Common Stock) and the sale of Common Stock. At this time we believe we have sufficient liquidity to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

 

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had $17,018,493 in cash and working capital of $16,159,082 as compared to $3,941,712 in cash and working capital of $1,209,462 as of June 30, 2017.

 

On May 15, 2017, the Company completed a private placement offering of Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and two warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock at a strike price of $1.30 per share for $1.30 per unit. In total, the Company issued and sold 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to acquire 5,400,000 shares of Common Stock for total proceeds to the Company of $3,510,000.

 

On July 12, 2017, the Company completed a private placement offering of 1,231,561 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and warrants to purchase two shares of Common Stock at a strike price of $1.30 per share for $1.30 per unit for total proceeds to the Company of $1,601,029.

 

On February 16, 2018, the Company completed a private placement offering of 1,677,130 shares of Common Stock at a price of $8.00 per share for total proceeds to the Company of $13,417,040.

 

On February 16, 2018, certain of the Registrant’s warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock (including Grant Warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of Common Stock) for total proceeds to the Company of $3,295,000.

Emerging Growth Company

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are not choosing to “opt out” of this provision. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable. As a result of our election, not to “opt out” of Section 107, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

For a full explanation of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the financial statements.

  

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company.  The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.

 

The Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”).  Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The deficiencies are attributed to the fact that the Company does not have adequate resources to address complex accounting issues, as well as an inadequate number of persons to whom it can segregate accounting tasks within the Company so as to ensure the segregation of duties between those persons who approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record and reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system.  These control deficiencies will be monitored and attention will be given to the matter as we continue to accelerate through our current growth stage.

 

34

 

 

The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified material weaknesses in controls over financial reporting, detailed below.  In order to reduce the impact of these weaknesses to an acceptable level, the Company has contracted with consultants with expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC.  However, even with the added expertise of these consultants, we still expect to be deficient in our internal controls over disclosure and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff and individuals with requisite GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge.  There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.

 

35

 

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

There are presently no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries, is a party or as to which any of its property is subject, and no such proceedings are known to the Company to be threatened or contemplated against it.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

The Parties acknowledge that the Inventions and the intellectual property otherwise referred to herein in this Agreement relate only to the intellectual property controlled by Enochian, namely as applied to the area of HIV research and HIV intellectual property. This Agreement does not otherwise restrict Consultant from researching, developing, inventing or otherwise pursuing related technology and intellectual property that pertains to other modalities other than HIV, and Consultant shall have no obligation to Enochian or any other party hereto for inventions relating to such other modalities. In accordance with the foregoing, Enochian is entering into that certain License Agreement of equal date hereof, and upon which the Consultant is relying as inducement for entering into this Agreement. Nothing contained herein is intended to expand Enochian’s rights as set forth in the License Agreement, nor to in any way expand the “Field” described therein, and Enochian shall not obtain any other rights hereunder greater than its rights within the Field under the License Agreement. During the term of this Agreement, Enochian will grant the Consultant the nonexclusive, royalty-free, personal right to assign to any of its members who are medical doctors the right to use the intellectual property controlled by Enochian relating to HIV treatment in humans solely to treat patients in the personal practice of medicine by such members (the “ Right to Use ”).

8.            Non-Solicitation. The Consultant agrees that during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one year after the Termination Date, the Consultant will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of the Company or Enochian to leave the Company or Enochian for any reason.

This Agreement shall be deemed to have been executed and delivered within the State of California, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of California without regard to principles of conflict of laws. In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to arbitrate all claims related to this Agreement before a single arbitrator in Los Angeles County, California under the Rules of the American Arbitration Association.

 

10.           Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the Agreement which can be given effect without the invalid provisions or applications and to this end, the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

 

11.           Advice of Counsel. In entering into this Agreement, the parties recognize that this Agreement is a legally binding contract and acknowledge and agree that each party has had the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of its choice.

 

12.           Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the License Agreement, and the Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement, together with all schedules and Exhibits made a part hereof and thereof constitute and contain the entire agreement and final understanding between the parties covering the services to be provided by the Consultant. It is intended by the parties as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement, and they supersede all prior negotiations and agreements, proposed or otherwise, whether written or oral, between the parties concerning Consulting Services. Any representation, promise or agreement not specifically included in this Agreement shall not be binding upon or enforceable against either party. This Agreement may be modified only with a written instrument duly executed by each of the parties. No person has any authority to make any representation or promise on behalf of any of the parties not set forth herein and this Agreement has not been executed in reliance upon any representations or promises except those contained herein.

 

13.           No Assignment. The Consultant shall not assign either in whole or in part any of the Consultant’s duties or responsibilities hereunder without the written consent of the Company, and any attempt of assignment transfer or delegation without such consent shall be void.

During the Term and thereafter, Consultant shall assist the Company and/or Enochian and their nominees at all times in the protection of such Inventions, information, ideas, concepts, improvements, and/or discoveries or inventions, both in the United States and all foreign countries, including the execution of all lawful oaths, applications, specifications and all assignment documents and other instruments requested by the Company and/or Enochian or their nominees in connection with the preparation, prosecution, issuance or enforcement of any applications for United States or foreign letters patent, and any other document application for the protection and/or registration of such Inventions, names and/or marks, including the disclosure to the Company and/or Enochian of all pertinent information and data with respect to all Inventions that the Company and/or Enochian may deem necessary in order to apply for and obtain such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company and/or Enochian, their successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive right, title and interest in and to all Inventions, and any copyright, patent, trade secret, and/or mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating to all Inventions. Consultant also agrees that Consultant’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement.

 

(c)          Moreover, if during the Term, Consultant creates any original work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression which is the subject matter of copyright (such as reports, videotapes, written presentations, computer programs, drawings, maps, architectural renditions, models, manuals, brochures or the like) related to the Company’s and/or Enochian’s business, technology, intellectual property, products, processes or services, as limited to HIV as set forth in Section 8(g), whether such work is created solely by Consultant or jointly with others, the Company and/or Enochian shall be deemed the co-author of such work if the work is prepared by Consultant in the scope of the Consulting Services hereunder; or, if the work is not prepared by Consultant within the scope of the Consulting Services hereunder but is specially ordered by the Company and/or Enochian as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of any written or audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation or as an instructional text, then the work shall be considered to be work made for hire and the Company and/or Enochian shall be the co-author of the work. Both during the Term and thereafter, Consultant shall assist the Company and/or Enochian and their nominees, at any time, in the protection of the Company’s and/or Enochian’s worldwide right, title and interest in and to the work and all rights of copyright therein, including the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by the Company and/or Enochian or their nominees and the execution of all lawful oaths and applications for registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries; provided, however, that Consultant shall be compensated by the Company and/or Enochian at a reasonable hourly rate for assistance given after the end of the Term.

Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason (or at any time prior thereto at the Company’s and/or Enochian’s request), Consultant shall return all property belonging to the Company and/or Enochian or their Affiliates (including any the Company and/or Enochian and/or Affiliate-provided laptops, computers, cell phones, wireless electronic mail devices or other equipment, or materials, information, documents or property, in any form, belonging to the Company and/or Enochian and/or an Affiliate).

 

(e)           Pre-Existing Materials . Subject to Section 8(a) , Consultant agrees that if, in the course of performing the Consulting Services, Consultant incorporates into any Invention developed under this Agreement any pre-existing invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery or other proprietary information owned by Consultant or in which Consultant has an interest, (i) Consultant will inform Company and/or Enochian, in writing while incorporating such invention, improvement, development, concept, discovery or other proprietary information into any Invention and (ii) the Company and/or Enochian and Consultant shall enter into a nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide license to the Company and/or Enochian to make, have made, modify, use and sell such item as part of or in connection with such Invention on terms, including the payment to Consultant of appropriate royalties, which are mutually agreeable by both parties.

(f)            Attorney-in-Fact . Consultant agrees that, if the Company or Enochian is unable because of Consultant’s unavailability, mental or physical incapacity, or for any other reason, to secure Consultant’s signature for the purpose of applying for or pursuing any application for any United States or foreign patents or mask work or copyright registrations covering the Inventions assigned to the Company or Enochian in Section 8(a) , then Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Consultant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on Consultant’s behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyright and mask work registrations with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Consultant.

 

(g)           Inventions limited as to HIV Modalities . The Parties acknowledge that the Inventions and the intellectual property otherwise referred to herein in this Agreement relate to the intellectual property controlled by Enochian, namely as applied to the area of HIV research and HIV intellectual property. This Agreement does not otherwise restrict Consultant from researching, developing, inventing, or otherwise pursuing related technology and intellectual property that pertains to other modalities other than HIV, and Consultant shall have no obligation to Enochian or any other party hereto for inventions relating to such other modalities. In accordance with the foregoing, Enochian is entering into that certain License Agreement of equal date hereof, and upon which the Consultant is relying as inducement for entering into this Agreement.
