Background
Business Overview
Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sigyn” or the “Company”) was established on October 29, 2019 in the State of Delaware. We are a development-stage therapeutic technology company that is headquartered in San Diego, California USA. Our primary focus is directed toward a significant unmet need in global health: the treatment of acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions that are precipitated by Cytokine Storm Syndrome (“The Cytokine Storm” or “Cytokine Release Syndrome”) and not addressed with approved drug therapies. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a dysregulated immune response that can be induced by a wide range of infectious and non-infectious conditions. A hallmark of the Cytokine Storm is an over-production of inflammatory cytokines, which can destroy tissue, trigger multiple-organ failure and cause death.
On October 19, 2020, Reign Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with our organization (Sigyn Therapeutics) that resulted in the registrant acquiring 100% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 75% of the fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Registrant’s common stock outstanding (the “Acquisition”). In conjunction with the transaction, the Registrant changed its name to Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to an amendment to its articles of incorporation that was filed with the State of Delaware. Subsequently, the Registrant’s trading symbol was changed to SIGY. The Acquisition was treated as a “tax-free exchange” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and resulted in the Sigyn corporate entity (established on October 29, 2019) to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Among the conditions for closing the acquisition, the Registrant extinguished all previously reported liabilities, its preferred class of shares, and all stock purchase options. As a result, the reported liabilities totaling $3,429,516 converted into a total of 7,907,351 common shares. Additionally, assets held on the books of Reign Resources Corporation, such as Gem inventory, was kept in the Company and therefore recorded as assets on the Share Exchange date. The Registrant’s Board of Directors appointed James A. Joyce and Craig P. Roberts to serve as members of the Registrant’s Board of Directors upon closing of the Acquisition.
As of April 5, 2021, we have a total 35,248,513 shares issued and outstanding, of which 9,561,513 shares are held by non-affiliate shareholders.
About Sigyn Therapy
Sigyn Therapy is a novel blood purification technology designed to mitigate cytokine storm syndrome through the broad-spectrum depletion of inflammatory targets from the bloodstream. Sigyn Therapy’s mechanism of action allows for it to be implemented on the established infrastructure of dialysis and CRRT machines that are already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a hallmark of sepsis, which is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Virus induced cytokine storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality and is a leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Other therapeutic opportunities include but are not limited to bacteria induced cytokine storm (BICS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute forms of liver failure such as Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is associated with elevated levels of toxins and inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream.
Recent Clinical Disclosures
On December 1, 2020, we reported the results of an in vitro study that validated the ability of Sigyn Therapy to simultaneously deplete a broad-spectrum of critical inflammatory targets from human blood plasma. In the study, Sigyn Therapy reduced the presence of endotoxin and relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines, which included Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a). Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide or LPS) is a well-known inflammatory trigger implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock resulting from gram-negative bacterial infections. The dysregulated over-production of IL-1b, IL-6 and TNF-a is known to induce organ failure and cause death. An objective of the study was to rebalance elevated cytokine levels and optimize the elimination of endotoxin from human blood plasma. The study was conducted in triplicate over four-hour time periods with a pediatric version of Sigyn Therapy. Average reduction of endotoxin load peaked at 83% during the studies. The average reduction of IL-1b was 69%, IL-6 reduction was 59% and TNF-a reduction was 57% during the four-hour studies. We plan to incorporate this data into an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that we expect to submit to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to the end of the 2021 calendar year. Our IDE submission will request permission to initiate U.S. human feasibility studies with a primary objective to demonstrate that Sigyn Therapy can be safely administered to subjects diagnosed with a Cytokine Storm Syndrome related condition. There is no assurance that FDA will approve our IDE submission to permit human studies.

We are also evaluating the ability of Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory cytokine cargos throughout the bloodstream. Based on recent peer-reviewed publications and emerging scientific evidence, we believe the simultaneous clearance of circulating CytoVesicles, endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines may overcome the limitations of previous drug and medical device candidates to treat sepsis and other life-threatening inflammatory conditions.
On January 6, 2021, we disclosed the results of an in vitro pilot study that modeled the ability of the adsorbent components we incorporate within Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles. CytoVesicles (extracellular vesicles that transport inflammatory cytokine cargos) participate in concert with freely circulating cytokines to further escalate the Cytokine Storm. CytoVesicles have previously been elusive targets for extracorporeal blood purification therapies as they can be 20-50 times larger than cytokines themselves. In our in vitro pilot study, 104 nanometer liposomes were utilized as a model system to assess the ability of Sigyn Therapy’s adsorbent components to deplete CytoVesicles from human blood plasma. After a two-hour interaction with our cocktail of adsorbent components, liposome concentrations in human blood plasma were reduced ~90%. Previously published studies have validated liposomes as a model for the isolation of extracellular vesicles from blood based on the similarity of their size and structural characteristics. There is no assurance that any in vitro study outcome of Sigyn Therapy or its components will translate into similar performance outcomes in human studies.
Sigyn Therapy Mechanism of Action
Sigyn Therapy is a novel blood purification technology whose broad-spectrum mechanism of action establishes a basis to treat an expansive pipeline of candidate indications. Incorporated within Sigyn Therapy is a “cocktail” of adsorbent components that have been formulated to optimize the depletion of inflammatory cytokines, toxins, CytoVesicles, endotoxin and potentially other pathogenic factors that are known to induce Cytokine Storm Syndrome.
In the medical field, the term “cocktail” is a reference to the simultaneous administration of multiple drugs (a drug cocktail) with differing mechanisms of actions. While drug cocktails have begun to emerge as potential mechanisms to treat cancer, they are proven life-saving countermeasures to treat HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis-C virus infection. However, dosing of multi-drug agent cocktails is limited by toxicity and adverse events that can result from deleterious drug interactions. Sigyn Therapy is not constrained by such limitations as our active components are not introduced into the body. As a result, we are able to incorporate a substantial dose of multiple adsorbents, each with differing mechanisms and capabilities to optimize Sigyn Therapy’s ability to calm the cytokine storm that underlies life-threatening inflammatory conditions.
Beyond our advantageous dosing strategy, the components of our adsorbent cocktail have surface characteristics and structures that permit Sigyn Therapy to bind or adsorb inflammatory targets that exceed 100 nanometers in diameter. Whereas the two most broadly deployed devices to treat acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions are limited to addressing either a single molecular target (endotoxin) or a broad-spectrum of inflammatory cytokines below 5 nanometers in diameter.
Beyond these mechanistic advantages, Sigyn Therapy is a single-use, “blood-in-blood-out device” that can be deployed on the established infrastructure of dialysis and CRRT machines that are already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Sigyn Therapy isolates inflammatory targets from the bloodstream to optimize their interaction with our cocktail of adsorbent components. We believe this mechanism to be a further competitive advantage as our adsorbent components are restricted from contacting or activating blood cells.
From a technical perspective, Sigyn Therapy converges the plasma separation function of hollow-fiber plasmapheresis devices with the expansive capacity of adsorbent components housed in the extra-lumen space (outside the fiber walls, yet inside the outer shell of the cartridge) to optimize the elimination of inflammatory targets in a low-shear force environment without interacting with blood cells. As blood flows into our device, the plasma components along with inflammatory targets move through the porous walls (≈200 nm) of the hollow-fibers (2500+ fibers) due to the blood side pressure. Because the hollow fiber bundle creates a resistance to the flow of blood, a pressure drop is created along the length of the device such that the blood-side pressure is higher at the blood inlet and lower at the blood outlet. This causes plasma to flow away from the blood and into the extra-lumen space (home of our adsorbent components) along the proximal third of the fiber bundle. In the distal third of the fiber bundle, the pressure gradient is reversed, which causes the plasma to flow backward through the fiber walls where it is recombined with cellular components without the inflammatory initiators, cytokines or toxins that have been bound or captured by the cocktail of adsorbent components housed in the extra-lumen space. Based on blood flow rates of 200ml/min, a patient’s entire blood volume can pass through Sigyn Therapy approximately 10 times during a four-hour treatment period.

Market Overview
Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a hallmark of sepsis, which is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Virus induced cytokine storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality and is a leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Other therapeutic opportunities include but are not limited to bacteria induced cytokine storm (BICS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute forms of liver failure such as Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is associated with elevated levels of toxins and inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream. The annual market opportunity for a therapeutic strategy to prevent or mitigate the Cytokine Storm has been reported to exceed $20 billion.
In April 2020, the FDA published the following statement, which supports the regulatory advancement of anti-cytokine blood purification technologies: “Based on the totality of scientific evidence available, the removal of pro-inflammatory cytokines may ameliorate the cytokine storm due to the overabundance of pro-inflammatory cytokines and, in turn, provide clinical benefit.”
The Cytokine Storm Precipitates Sepsis
Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. In January of 2020, a report entitled; “Global, Regional, and National Sepsis Incidence and Mortality, 1990-2017: Analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study,” was published in the Journal Lancet. The publication reported 48.9 million cases of sepsis and 11 million deaths in 2017. In that same year, an estimated 20.3 million sepsis cases and 2.9 million deaths were among children younger than 5-years old. The report referenced that sepsis kills more people around the world than all forms of cancer combined. In the United States, sepsis was reported to be the most common cause of in-hospital deaths with annual costs exceeding $24 billion.
To date, more than 100 human studies have been conducted to evaluate the safety and benefit of candidate drugs to treat sepsis. With one brief exception (Xigris, Eli Lilly), none of these studies resulted in a market approved therapy. As the treatment of sepsis remains elusive for therapeutic drug agents, an increased understanding of the complex mechanisms that underlie sepsis support the potential of therapeutic strategies that modulate a broad-spectrum of inflammatory factors.
As a result, an increased focus has been directed toward extracorporeal blood purification, with an emphasis on devices that improve immune homeostasis through the depletion of circulating inflammatory mediators. Given the pivotal role of endotoxin and cytokine production in sepsis, it is anticipated that the simultaneous depletion of these inflammatory factors may establish the basis for an efficacious strategy. We also believe that inflammatory cytokine cargos transported by CytoVesicles represent a novel, yet important therapeutic target.
Virus Induced Cytokine Storm (VICS)
Virus Induced Cytokine Storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality rates and is defined by an excess production of inflammatory cytokines in response to a virulent viral infection. As the vast majority of human viruses are not addressed with a corresponding drug or vaccine, there is an urgent and ongoing need for therapies that mitigate the Cytokine Storm that can be initiated by a broad-spectrum of viral pathogens. At present, VICS is a leading cause of COVID-19 deaths and often precipitates other life-threatening conditions including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and sepsis, which are highly prevalent in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
In March of 2020, Yale University researchers reported that elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines correlated with the severity of COVID-19 infection and increased mortality rates. Inversely, the researchers reported that declining levels of these same cytokines are associated with patient recovery. In April of 2020, the FDA established pro-inflammatory cytokine reduction as a clinical endpoint to ameliorate the cytokine storm induced by a viral infection.
Beyond COVID-19, virus induced Cytokine Storms are associated with many of the 250,000 to 500,000 global deaths that result from severe influenza infections each year. In some years, the death toll resulting from influenza rises to pandemic proportions. In modern history, the best-known example is the H1N1 Spanish Flu of 1918 which caused the deaths of more than 50 million individuals. Other deadly influenza outbreaks included the 1957 H2N2 Asian influenza, the 1968 H3N2 Hong Kong influenza, and the 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza. Between 1997 and 2014, several epizootic avian influenza viruses (e.g., H5N1, H7N9, and H10N8) crossed the species barrier to cause increased human death tolls.

In recent years, virus induced Cytokine Storm was associated with high mortality resulting from the 2003 SARS virus outbreak and the 2014-15 Ebola virus outbreak. VICS is also reported to play a role in mosquito-borne viral infections, including severe Dengue infections, which result in approximately 40,000 deaths each year.
We believe that Sigyn Therapy can serve as a first-line countermeasure to mitigate Cytokine Storm Syndrome resulting from emerging viral outbreaks that are increasingly being fueled by a confluence of global warming, urban crowding and intercontinental travel. As it is improbable for post-exposure drugs and vaccines to be developed, proven effective, manufactured and delivered at the outset of a pandemic, we believe there will be an ongoing demand for therapies to address virus induced Cytokine Storm Syndrome. Additionally, we believe that Sigyn Therapy aligns with U.S. Government initiatives that support the development of broad-spectrum medical countermeasures that mitigate the impact of emerging pandemic threats, yet also have viability in established disease indications.
Bacteria Induced Cytokine Storm (BICS)
Gram-negative bacteria infections are a significant global health issue due to their resistance to antibiotic therapy. In severe infections, bacteria shed endotoxins into the circulatory system, which are potent drivers of Cytokine Storm Syndrome. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over two million infections are caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria each year in the United States, resulting in approximately 23,000 deaths. From a national biodefense perspective, four species of bacteria have been classified as “Category A” biological threats as they pose a high risk to national security and public health. These include Bacillus anthracis (anthrax), Clostridium botulinum toxin (botulism), Yersinia pestis (plague) and Francisella tularensis (tularemia). The extracorporeal elimination of circulating endotoxin has previously been demonstrated to help rebalance the innate immune system, decrease levels of inflammatory mediators and improve vascular function and hemodynamics.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Treatment Opportunity
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a form of respiratory failure characterized by the rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs. ARDS is often associated with multiple organ failure and is known to be precipitated by a variety of clinical disorders, including Cytokine Storm Syndrome. Globally, ARDS is associated with approximately 3 million deaths each year and has a mortality rate of 30-50%.
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE)
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) is a life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis that results in 25,000-40,000 U.S. hospital admissions each year. The three-year survival rate following the first episode of HE is approximately 15%. HE severity has been correlated with highly elevated serum concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines and toxins. At present, we have not conducted studies that validate the ability of Sigyn Therapy to deplete HE related toxins from blood or blood plasma.
Bridge-To-Liver Transplant
There is a significant need for a medical device that can reduce the circulating presence of inflammatory cytokines and toxins in patients with liver failure. Based on these requirements, Sigyn Therapy is a candidate strategy to stabilize or extend the life of a patient prior to the identification of a matched liver for transplantation. Otherwise known as a bridge-to-liver transplant. In 2017, 8,082 U.S. patients received a liver transplant and 13,885 patients were on the waiting list for a liver transplant. The average cost associated with a liver transplant is $577,100 USD. As with Hepatic Encephalopathy, we have not conducted studies that validate the ability of Sigyn Therapy to deplete deleterious toxins associated with liver failure.
Other Potential Opportunities
Cytokine Storm Syndrome may also result from trauma, severe burns, acute pancreatitis, adverse drug reactions, cancer immunotherapies, cancer cachexia, acute kidney injury (AKI) and severe pneumonia.
7 |
Competition
Our primary focus is directed toward treating acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions that are precipitated by Cytokine Storm Syndrome and not addressed with approved drug therapies. As a result of COVID-19, single-mechanism drugs to inhibit specific cytokine targets are being clinically evaluated in COVID-19 infected individuals. The candidate targets for these drug agents include IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-a, which are simultaneously addressed by Sigyn Therapy based on recent in vitro study outcomes.
Emerging and historic evidence reveals the considerable challenge to temper the Cytokine Storm through the inhibition of a single cytokine target. In April of 2020, an article in the Journal Nature reported 14 different inflammatory cytokines to be highly elevated in bloodstream of COVID-19 patients. In May of 2020, Stanford researchers reported that elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines in COVID-19 patients are consistent with those observed in critically ill (non-COVID-19) sepsis and ARDS patients, which are conditions for which anti-cytokine drugs have previously been unable to demonstrate benefit in clinical studies. Specific to sepsis, more than 70 human studies have been conducted to evaluate the safety and benefit of candidate drugs. With one brief exception (Xigris, Eli Lilly), none of these studies resulted in a market approved therapy.
In the absence of safe and effective drugs to address Cytokine Storm related conditions, we anticipate that the market for therapeutic blood purification technologies to address Cytokine Storm Syndrome will be extremely competitive.
The most broadly deployed blood purification technologies to address life-threatening inflammatory conditions are the Toraymyxn device from Toray Industries and the CytoSorb device from CytoSorbents Corporation. While not yet market cleared in the United States, these industry-pioneering technologies are approved for use in more than 40 countries, have been administered to hundreds of thousands of patients, are the subject of hundreds of peer-reviewed publications and are being evaluated to treat severe COVID-19 infections. However, the mechanism of action of each of these technologies differs substantially.
The Toraymyxin device houses an immobilized antibiotic agent that has a high specificity to bind circulating endotoxin, which is a potent activator of cytokine storm syndrome induced by gram-negative bacterial infections. However, Toraymyxin does not address inflammatory cytokines or CytoVesicles. Conversely, the CytoSorb device incorporates an adsorbent bead that depletes inflammatory cytokines from the bloodstream but does not address endotoxin or CytoVesicles.
We believe that Sigyn Therapy’s ability to address inflammatory cytokines, endotoxin and CytoVesicles provides us with a significant competitive advantage that we plan to demonstrate in human clinical studies. However, there is no assurance that we will advance human clinical studies that demonstrate safety and efficacy of our technology.
Marketing and Sales
At present, we do not market or sell any therapeutic products. We plan to establish relationships with organizations that have established distribution channels into markets that might be served by Sigyn Therapy should it receive market clearance from FDA or other foreign regulatory agencies.
Intellectual Property
We own the intellectual property rights to pending royalty-free patents that have been assigned to us by our co-founders, James A. Joyce and Craig P. Roberts. We have also received a “Notice of Allowance” from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) related to the use of Sigyn Therapeutics, Sigyn Therapy and the protection of our corporate logo. We plan to continually expand our intellectual property portfolio and protect trade secrets that are not the subject of patent submissions. However, there is no assurance that the claims of current pending and future patent applications will result in issued patents.
At present, we own the rights to the following patents pending.

Government Regulation
In the United States, Sigyn Therapy is subject to regulation by the FDA and other healthcare agencies. Should we seek to commercialize Sigyn Therapy outside the United States, we expect to face comparable international regulatory oversight. Based on published guidance by FDA, we anticipate Sigyn Therapy to be a Class III medical device whose regulatory jurisdiction will be the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the FDA branch that oversees the market approval of medical devices. As a Class III device, we are subject to a Pre-Market Approval (PMA) submission pathway with CDRH. The approval of PMA application to support market clearance of Sigyn Therapy will require extensive data, which includes but is not limited to technical documents, preclinical studies, human clinical trials, the establishment of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMA) standards and labeling that fulfills FDA’s requirement to demonstrate reasonable evidence of safety and effectiveness of a medical device product. There is no assurance that Sigyn Therapy will be demonstrated to be a safe and effective product to treat any life-threatening inflammatory condition precipitated by Cytokine Storm Syndrome.
Additionally, we must comply with applicable laws and regulations that govern the development, testing, manufacturing, labeling, marketing, storage, distribution, advertising and promotion, and post-marketing surveillance reporting for medical devices. Failure to comply with these applicable requirements may subject a device and/or its manufacturer to a variety of administrative sanctions, such as issuance of warning letters, import detentions, civil monetary penalties and/or judicial sanctions, such as product seizures, injunctions and criminal prosecution. Our failure to comply with any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Manufacturing and Procurement
We are advancing a manufacturing relationship with an FDA registered Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) to establish GMP compliant manufacturing to support human clinical studies and potential commercialization should we receive clearance to market Sigyn Therapy. We plan to establish manufacturing procedure specifications that define each stage of our manufacturing, inspection and testing processes and the control parameters or acceptance criteria that apply to each activity that result in the production of our technology.
We have also established relationships with industry vendors that provide components necessary to manufacture our device. Should the relationship with an industry vendor be interrupted or discontinued, we believe that alternate component suppliers can be identified to support the continued manufacturing of our product. However, delays related to interrupted or discontinued vendor relationships could adversely impact our business.
Research and Product Development
We have sourced our research and product development activities, which include the performance of in vitro validation studies, pre-GMP product assembly and manufacturing through an organization with extensive experience in advancing extracorporeal blood purification technologies. At present, we do not plan to build and staff our own research and product development facility.
Environmental Laws and Regulations
At present, our operations are not subject to any environmental laws or regulations.
Employees
We have 2 full-time employees and no part-time employees as of the date of this filing. We have an employer contribution for healthcare, but we do not provide pension, annuity, insurance, profit sharing, or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. To conserve cash and resources, we utilize consultants on an as-needed basis to provide various functions. Additionally, we also contract with clinical and research organizations to support the advancement of Sigyn Therapy.

OVERVIEW:
Historical Development
Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sigyn” or the “Company”) was established on October 29, 2019 in the State of Delaware. We are a development-stage therapeutic technology company that is headquartered in San Diego, California USA. Our primary focus is directed toward a significant unmet need in global health: the treatment of acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions that are precipitated by Cytokine Storm Syndrome (“The Cytokine Storm” or “Cytokine Release Syndrome”) and not addressed with approved drug therapies. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a dysregulated immune response that can be induced by a wide range of infectious and non-infectious conditions. A hallmark of the Cytokine Storm is an over-production of inflammatory cytokines, which can destroy tissue, trigger multiple-organ failure and cause death.
On October 19, 2020, Reign Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with our organization (Sigyn Therapeutics) that resulted in the registrant acquiring 100% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 75% of the fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Registrant’s common stock outstanding (the “Acquisition”). In conjunction with the transaction, the Registrant changed its name to Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to an amendment to its articles of incorporation that was filed with the State of Delaware. Subsequently, the Registrant’s trading symbol was changed to SIGY. The Acquisition was treated as a “tax-free exchange” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and resulted in the Sigyn corporate entity (established on October 29, 2019) to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Among the conditions for closing the acquisition, the Registrant extinguished all previously reported liabilities, its preferred class of shares, and all stock purchase options. As a result, the reported liabilities totaling $3,429,516 converted into a total of 7,907,351 common shares. Additionally, assets held on the books of Reign Resources Corporation, such as Gem inventory, was kept in the Company and therefore recorded as assets on the Share Exchange date. The Registrant’s Board of Directors appointed James A. Joyce and Craig P. Roberts to serve as members of the Registrant’s Board of Directors upon closing of the Acquisition.
As of April 5, 2021, we have a total 35,248,513 shares issued and outstanding, of which 9,561,513 shares are held by non-affiliate shareholders.
About Sigyn Therapy
Sigyn Therapy is a novel blood purification technology designed to mitigate cytokine storm syndrome through the broad-spectrum depletion of inflammatory targets from the bloodstream. Sigyn Therapy’s mechanism of action allows for it to be implemented on the established infrastructure of dialysis and CRRT machines that are already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a hallmark of sepsis, which is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Virus induced cytokine storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality and is a leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Other therapeutic opportunities include but are not limited to bacteria induced cytokine storm (BICS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute forms of liver failure such as Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is associated with elevated levels of toxins and inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream.
Recent Developments
On December 1, 2020, we reported the results of an in vitro study that validated the ability of Sigyn Therapy to simultaneously deplete a broad-spectrum of critical inflammatory targets from human blood plasma. In the study, Sigyn Therapy reduced the presence of endotoxin and relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines, which included Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a). Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide or LPS) is a well-known inflammatory trigger implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock resulting from gram-negative bacterial infections. The dysregulated over-production of IL-1b, IL-6 and TNF-a is known to induce organ failure and cause death. An objective of the study was to rebalance elevated cytokine levels and optimize the elimination of endotoxin from human blood plasma. The study was conducted in triplicate over four-hour time periods with a pediatric version of Sigyn Therapy. Average reduction of endotoxin load peaked at 83% during the studies. The average reduction of IL-1b was 69%, IL-6 reduction was 59% and TNF-a reduction was 57% during the four-hour studies. We plan to incorporate this data into an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that we expect to submit to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to the end of the 2021 calendar year. Our IDE submission will request permission to initiate U.S. human feasibility studies with a primary objective to demonstrate that Sigyn Therapy can be safely administered to subjects diagnosed with a Cytokine Storm Syndrome related condition. There is no assurance that FDA will approve our IDE submission to permit human studies.

We are also evaluating the ability of Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory cytokine cargos throughout the bloodstream. Based on recent peer-reviewed publications and emerging scientific evidence, we believe the simultaneous clearance of circulating CytoVesicles, endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines may overcome the limitations of previous drug and medical device candidates to treat sepsis and other life-threatening inflammatory conditions.
On January 6, 2021, we disclosed the results of an in vitro pilot study that modeled the ability of the adsorbent components we incorporate within Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles. CytoVesicles (extracellular vesicles that transport inflammatory cytokine cargos) participate in concert with freely circulating cytokines to further escalate the Cytokine Storm. CytoVesicles have previously been elusive targets for extracorporeal blood purification therapies as they can be 20-50 times larger than cytokines themselves. In our in vitro pilot study, 104 nanometer liposomes were utilized as a model system to assess the ability of Sigyn Therapy’s adsorbent components to deplete CytoVesicles from human blood plasma. After a two-hour interaction with our cocktail of adsorbent components, liposome concentrations in human blood plasma were reduced ~90%. Previously published studies have validated liposomes as a model for the isolation of extracellular vesicles from blood based on the similarity of their size and structural characteristics. There is no assurance that any in vitro study outcome of Sigyn Therapy or its components will translate into similar performance outcomes in human studies.
We began our planned principal operations, and accordingly, we have prepared our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is limited historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, and possible cost overruns due to increases in the cost of services. To become profitable and competitive, we must receive additional capital. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available, we may be unable to continue operations.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs and professional fees required to support our operations and growth.
Depending on the extent of our future growth, we may experience significant strain on our management, personnel, and information systems. We will need to implement and improve operational, financial, and management information systems. In addition, we are implementing new information systems that will provide better record-keeping, customer service and billing. However, there can be no assurance that our management resources or information systems will be sufficient to manage any future growth in our business, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $1,259,590 for year ended December 31, 2020 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $75,325, primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $15,095, accrued payroll and payroll taxes of $59,707, and other current liabilities of $523. In addition, net cash used in operating activities includes adjustments to reconcile net profit from depreciation expense of $346, amortization expense of $10,954, accretion of original issuance costs of $67,823, and accretion of debt discount of $275,333.
Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $1,550 from date of formation (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019, offset primarily by expenses paid by founders of $640, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $910, primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $910.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities – For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in investing was $10,799 due to the purchase of intangible assets compared to cash flows from investing activities of $0 from date of formation (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities – For the year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing was $925,010 due to proceeds from short term convertible notes. From date of formation (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019, cash flows from financing activities was $0.
Financing – We expect that our current working capital position, together with our expected future cash flows from operations will be insufficient to fund our operations in the ordinary course of business, anticipated capital expenditures, debt payment requirements and other contractual obligations for at least the next twelve months. However, this belief is based upon many assumptions and is subject to numerous risks, and there can be no assurance that we will not require additional funding in the future.
We have no present agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions of other businesses, products, product rights or technologies or any other material capital expenditures. However, we will continue to evaluate acquisitions of and/or investments in products, technologies, capital equipment or improvements or companies that complement our business and may make such acquisitions and/or investments in the future. Accordingly, we may need to obtain additional sources of capital in the future to finance any such acquisitions and/or investments. We may not be able to obtain such financing on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Due to the ongoing global economic crisis, we believe it may be difficult to obtain additional financing if needed. 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 shareholders, in the case of equity financing.

Other Capital Expenditures

Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,261,000 at December 31, 2020, had working capital of approximately $76,000 and a working capital deficit of $1,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, had a net loss of approximately $1,260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $830,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, with no revenue earned since inception, and a lack of operational history. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
24 |
While the Company is attempting to expand operations and increase revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private offering or an asset sale transaction. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds or transact an asset sale, there can be no assurances to that effect or on terms acceptable to the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Commission has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and which require us to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies that are significant to understanding our results.
The following are deemed to be the most significant accounting policies affecting us.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: inventory valuation, common stock valuation, and the recoverability of intangibles. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of developed technology – website. Our intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.
Assignment of Patent
On January 8, 2020, James Joyce, the Company’s CEO and Craig Roberts, the Company’s COO, assigned to the Company the rights to patent 62/881,740 pertaining to the devices, systems and methods for the broad-spectrum reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of property, equipment and intangible assets has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. There are no impairments as of December 31, 2020.
25 |
Our impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and discounted cash flow models. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and from inception (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets. However, there can be no assurances that the demand for the Company’s products and services will continue, which could result in an impairment of long-lived assets in the future.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. This process involves calculating the temporary and permanent differences between the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which would be recorded on our balance sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. We must assess the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Changes in our valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision on the consolidated Statements of Operations and comprehensive income.
From the date of our inception we adopted ASC 740-10-30. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740-10, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, ASC 740-10 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10, we recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.
Debt
We issue debt that may have separate warrants, conversion features, or no equity-linked attributes.
Debt with warrants – When we issue debt with warrants, we treat the warrants as a debt discount, record as a contra-liability against the debt, and amortize the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. When the warrants require equity treatment under ASC 815, the offset to the contra-liability is recorded as additional paid in capital in our consolidated balance sheet. When we issue debt with warrants that require liability treatment under ASC 815, such as a clause requiring repricing, the warrants are considered to be a derivative that is recorded as a liability at fair value. If the initial value of the warrant derivative liability is higher than the fair value of the associated debt, the excess is recognized immediately as interest expense. The warrant derivative liability is adjusted to its fair value at the end of each reporting period, with the change being recorded as expense or gain. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The debt is treated as conventional debt.
26 |
Convertible debt – derivative treatment – When we issue debt with a conversion feature, we must first assess whether the conversion feature meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, as follows: a) one or more underlyings, typically the price of our common stock; b) one or more notional amounts or payment provisions or both, generally the number of shares upon conversion; c) no initial net investment, which typically excludes the amount borrowed; and d) net settlement provisions, which in the case of convertible debt generally means the stock received upon conversion can be readily sold for cash. An embedded equity-linked component that meets the definition of a derivative does not have to be separated from the host instrument if the component qualifies for the scope exception for certain contracts involving an issuer’s own equity. The scope exception applies if the contract is both a) indexed to its own stock; and b) classified in shareholders’ equity in its statement of financial position.
If the conversion feature within convertible debt meets the requirements to be treated as a derivative, we estimate the fair value of the convertible debt derivative using Monte Carlo Method upon the date of issuance. If the fair value of the convertible debt derivative is higher than the face value of the convertible debt, the excess is immediately recognized as interest expense. Otherwise, the fair value of the convertible debt derivative is recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded as a debt discount, which offsets the carrying amount of the debt. The convertible debt derivative is revalued at the end of each reporting period and any change in fair value is recorded as a gain or loss in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. The debt discount is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt.
Convertible debt – beneficial conversion feature – If the conversion feature is not treated as a derivative, we assess whether it is a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF’). A BCF exists if the conversion price of the convertible debt instrument is less than the stock price on the commitment date. This typically occurs when the conversion price is less than the fair value of the stock on the date the instrument was issued. The value of a BCF is equal to the intrinsic value of the feature, the difference between the conversion price and the common stock into which it is convertible, and is recorded as additional paid in capital and as a debt discount in the consolidated balance sheet. We amortize the balance over the life of the underlying debt as amortization of debt discount expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. If the debt is retired early, the associated debt discount is then recognized immediately as amortization of debt discount expense in the statements of operations and comprehensive income.
If the conversion feature does not qualify for either the derivative treatment or as a BCF, the convertible debt is treated as traditional debt.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in SEC Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-l5(f) of the Securities Exchange Act). Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) (2013). Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on the COSO criteria, due to the following material weaknesses listed below.
32 |
The specific material weaknesses identified by the company’s management as of end of the period covered by this report include the following:
● | we have not performed a risk assessment and mapped our processes to control objectives; | |
● | we have not implemented comprehensive entity-level internal controls; | |
● | we have not implemented adequate system and manual controls; and | |
● | we do not have sufficient segregation of duties. As such, the officers approve their own related business expense reimbursements |
Despite the material weaknesses reported above, our management believes that our consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and that this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report.
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report.

The weaknesses and their related risks are not uncommon in a company of our size because of the limitations in the size and number of staff. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties has not always been possible and may not be economically feasible.
However, we plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the current fiscal year as resources allow:
(i) | appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and implement modifications to our financial controls to address such inadequacies; |
The remediation efforts set out herein will be implemented in the current 2021 fiscal year. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our 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.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
There have been no events required to be reported under this Item.

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
The following table sets forth the names, ages, and biographical information of each of our current directors and executive officers and the positions with the Company held by each person. Our executive officers are elected annually by the board of directors. The directors serve one-year terms until their successors are elected. The executive officers serve terms of one year or until their death, resignation or removal by the board of directors. Unless described below, there are no family relationships among any of the directors and officers.
Name | Age | Title | ||
Jim Joyce | 59 | Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors (“CEO”) | ||
Craig Roberts | 68 | Chief Technology Officer |
Mr. Joyce is the Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. He has 30+ years of diverse public market experience, which includes two decades of public company CEO and Corporate Board leadership roles.
Mr. Joyce was previously the founder, Chairman and CEO of Aethlon Medical, a therapeutic device company that he navigated from a single shareholder start-up to Nasdaq-traded Company with 8000+ shareholders. During his tenure, Mr. Joyce oversaw the development of the Aethlon Hemopurifier, the first and only therapeutic candidate to receive two “Breakthrough Device” awards from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Under his leadership, the Hemopurifier received FDA “Emergency Use Authorization” (EAU) approval to treat Ebola virus and was cleared to treat Ebola by the German Government and Health Canada as well. In response, Time Magazine named the Hemopurifier one of the “11 Most Remarkable Advances in Healthcare” and designated the device to its “Top 25 Best Inventions” award list.
During Mr. Joyce’s tenure, Aethlon won two Department of Defense (DOD) contract awards, a National Cancer Institute (NCI) contract award and a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). He also led the completion of approximately $100 million of equity financings and originated preclinical and clinical collaborations with more than twenty government and non-government institutes and organizations. Mr. Joyce is also the former Executive Chairman of Exosome Sciences, Inc., a company he founded to advance the discovery of exosomal biomarkers to diagnose and monitor cancer and neurological disorders.
Mr. Roberts is an inventor of several life-saving therapeutic device technologies. This includes the Percutaneous Adult Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) system, which was licensed and subsequently sold to C.R. Bard. During the current pandemic, ECMO is being broadly deployed to treat critically ill COVID-19 patients. Additionally, Mr. Roberts is the inventor of the IMPACT System, which received CE Mark clearance in the European Union and was subsequently registered in 32 countries and successfully deployed to treat cytokine storm related conditions, including sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), acute liver failure, severe pneumonia and H5N1 bird flu virus infection. The IMPACT system incorporated a series of cartridges, which included an adsorbent-based column to deplete endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines from human blood plasma.
Conflicts of Interest
Certain potential conflicts of interest are inherent in the relationships between our officers and directors and us.
From time to time, one or more of our affiliates may form or hold an ownership interest in and/or manage other businesses both related and unrelated to the type of business that we own and operate. These persons expect to continue to form, hold an ownership interest in and/or manage additional other businesses which may compete with our business with respect to operations, including financing and marketing, management time and services and potential customers. These activities may give rise to conflicts between or among the interests of us and other businesses with which our affiliates are associated. Our affiliates are in no way prohibited from undertaking such activities, and neither we nor our shareholders will have any right to require participation in such other activities.
We may transact business with some of our officers, directors and affiliates, as well as with firms in which some of our officers, directors or affiliates have a material interest, potential conflicts may arise between the respective interests of us and these related persons or entities. We believe that such transactions will be effected on terms at least as favorable to us as those available from unrelated third parties. As of this filing, we have not transacted business with any officer, director, or affiliate.
34 |
With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted policies and procedures which require that: (i) the fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval, (ii) the transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors, and (iii) the transaction be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.
Our policies and procedures regarding transactions involving potential conflicts of interest are not in writing. We understand that it will be difficult to enforce our policies and procedures and will rely and trust our officers and directors to follow our policies and procedures. We will implement our policies and procedures by requiring the officer or director who is not in compliance with our policies and procedures to remove himself and the other officers and directors will decide how to implement the policies and procedures, accordingly.
Corporate Governance
The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.
Director Independence
We do not have any independent directors. Because our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
● | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; | |
● | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); | |
● | a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company; | |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); | |
● | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or | |
● | the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
Board Composition
Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors, which upon the consummation of this offering will consist of two members. Directors serve for a term of one year and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified.
Director Independence
We are not required to have independent members of our board of directors, and do not anticipate having independent directors until such time as we are required to do so.
35 |
Committees of the Board
Our Company currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our Company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the directors can adequately perform the functions of such committees.
In lieu of an audit committee, the Company’s board of directors is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other services provided by the Company’s independent public accountants. The board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company review the Company’s internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the FINRA Rules.
We believe that our directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The directors of our Company do not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the board of directors can adequately perform the functions of an audit committee. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
Our directors and our executive officers have not been involved in or a party in any of the following events or actions during the past ten years:
1. | any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; |
2. | any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |
3. | being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or |
4. | being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated. |
5. | Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated; |
6. | Such person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated; |
7. | Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of: (i) Any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; or (ii) Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or |
8. | Such person was the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member. |
36 |
Code of Ethics
The Company has not formally adopted a written Code of Ethics that governs the Company’s employees, officers and directors as the Company is not required to do so. The board of directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide this disclosure.
Role of Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
Our board of directors oversees an enterprise-wide approach to risk management, designed to support the achievement of business objectives, including organizational and strategic objectives, to improve long-term organizational performance and enhance stockholder value. The involvement of our board of directors in setting our business strategy is a key part of its assessment of management’s plans for risk management and its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for our company. The participation of our board of directors in our risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to our company, including operational, financial, legal and regulatory, and strategic and reputational risks.
While our board of directors has the ultimate responsibility for the risk management process, senior management and various committees of our board of directors, when formed, will also have responsibility for certain areas of risk management. Our senior management team is responsible for day-to-day risk management and regularly reports on risks to our full board of directors or a relevant committee. Our finance and regulatory personnel serve as the primary monitoring and evaluation function for company-wide policies and procedures, and manage the day-to-day oversight of the risk management strategy for our ongoing business. This oversight includes identifying, evaluating, and addressing potential risks that may exist at the enterprise, strategic, financial, operational, compliance and reporting levels.
Director Compensation
All of the Company’s directors are employees of the Company and such persons have not been separately compensated for their services to the Company as a director.
37 |
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters
Our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits our Certificate of Incorporation from limiting the liability of our directors for the following:
● | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; | |
● | any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; | |
● | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or | |
● | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. Our Articles of Incorporation does not eliminate a director’s duty of care and in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under our bylaws, we will also be empowered to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom we are required or permitted to indemnify.
In addition to the indemnification required in our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, we have entered or will enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements provide indemnification for certain expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, or alternative dispute resolution mechanism, or hearing, inquiry, or investigation that may lead to the foregoing, to which they are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of our company, or any of our subsidiaries, by reason of any action or inaction by them while serving as an officer, director, agent, or fiduciary, or by reason of the fact that they were serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, agent, or fiduciary of another entity. In the case of an action or proceeding by, or in the right of, our company or any of our subsidiaries, no indemnification will be provided for any claim where a court determines that the indemnified party is prohibited from receiving indemnification. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our shareholders. A shareholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. Insofar as we may provide indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act to our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. There is no pending litigation or proceeding naming any of our directors or officers as to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any director or officer.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The following is a discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers, or NEOs. This discussion contains forward looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion. As an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and have elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies.

Indemnification Agreements
We have entered or intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, will require us to indemnify each individual to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the individual in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director, officer or other employee.
Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we have not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with our executive officer(s), director(s) and significant shareholders. We rely on our board to review related party transactions on an ongoing basis to prevent conflicts of interest. Our board reviews a transaction in light of the affiliations of the director, officer or employee and the affiliations of such person’s immediate family. Transactions are presented to our board for approval before they are entered into or, if this is not possible, for ratification after the transaction has occurred. If our board finds that a conflict of interest exists, then it will determine the appropriate remedial action, if any. Our board approves or ratifies a transaction if it determines that the transaction is consistent with the best interests of the Company. We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our board of directors, or an appropriate committee thereof.
Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal period for the audit of our annual financial statements and services normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm for this fiscal period were as follows:

Total Fees | $ | 10,000 | $ | 0 |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operation and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Convertible Promissory Debentures
As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, in January, June and September 2020, the Company issued approximately $1 million of Convertible Promissory Debentures due in 2021 (“Convertible Debt”), which, upon conversion, permit the Company to pay or deliver cash, shares of its common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of common stock at the Company’s election.
Auditing the Company’s accounting for the Convertible Debt was complex due to the significant judgment required in determining the liability component of the Convertible Senior Notes as well as the balance sheet classification of the components of the Convertible Debt. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature based on an outside valuation of the underlying common stock. Additionally, the Company performed a detailed analysis of the terms of the Convertible Debt to identify whether any derivatives that required separate mark-to-market accounting under applicable accounting guidance were present.
Our testing of the Company’s initial accounting and modification of the notes for the Convertible Debt included, among other procedures, reading the underlying agreements and evaluating the Company’s accounting analysis of the initial accounting and modification of the Convertible Debt, including the determination of the balance sheet classification of each component of the Convertible Debt and identification of any derivatives included in the arrangements. We involved a valuation specialist in our testing of the fair value of the underlying stock, including evaluating the Company’s selection of the valuation methodology and other significant assumptions used by the Company. We have evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020 AND 2019
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Corporate History and Background
Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sigyn” or the “Company”) was established on October 29, 2019 in the State of Delaware. We are a development-stage therapeutic technology company that is headquartered in San Diego, California USA. Our primary focus is directed toward a significant unmet need in global health: the treatment of acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions that are precipitated by Cytokine Storm Syndrome (“The Cytokine Storm” or “Cytokine Release Syndrome”) and not addressed with approved drug therapies. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a dysregulated immune response that can be induced by a wide range of infectious and non-infectious conditions. A hallmark of the Cytokine Storm is an over-production of inflammatory cytokines, which can destroy tissue, trigger multiple-organ failure and cause death.
On October 19, 2020, Reign Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with our organization (Sigyn Therapeutics) that resulted in the registrant acquiring 100% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 75% of the fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Registrant’s common stock outstanding (the “Acquisition”). In conjunction with the transaction, the Registrant changed its name to Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to an amendment to its articles of incorporation that was filed with the State of Delaware. Subsequently, the Registrant’s trading symbol was changed to SIGY. The Acquisition was treated by the Company as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, Sigyn is considered to have acquired the Registrant as the accounting acquirer because: (i) Sigyn stockholders own 75% of the combined company, on an as-converted basis, immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) Sigyn directors hold a majority of board seats in the combined company and (iii) Sigyn management held all key positions in the management of the combined company. Accordingly, Sigyn’s historical results of operations will replace the registrant’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Acquisition and, for all periods following the Acquisition, the results of operations of the combined company will be included in the Company’s financial statements. The Acquisition was treated as a “tax-free exchange” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and resulted in the Sigyn corporate entity (established on October 29, 2019) to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Among the conditions for closing the acquisition, the Registrant extinguished all previously reported liabilities, its preferred class of shares, and all stock purchase options. As a result, the reported liabilities totaling $3,429,516 were converted into a total of 7,907,351 common shares. Additionally, assets held on the books of Reign Resources Corporation, such as Gem inventory, was kept in the Company and therefore recorded as assets on the Share Exchange date. The Registrant’s Board of Directors appointed James A. Joyce and Craig P. Roberts to serve as members of the Registrant’s Board of Directors upon closing of the Acquisition.
As of April 5, 2021, we have a total 35,248,513 shares issued and outstanding, of which 9,561,513 shares are held by non-affiliate shareholders.
About Sigyn Therapy
Sigyn Therapy is a novel blood purification technology designed to mitigate cytokine storm syndrome through the broad-spectrum depletion of inflammatory targets from the bloodstream. Sigyn Therapy’s mechanism of action allows for it to be implemented on the established infrastructure of dialysis and CRRT machines that are already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a hallmark of sepsis, which is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Virus induced cytokine storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality and is a leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Other therapeutic opportunities include but are not limited to bacteria induced cytokine storm (BICS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute forms of liver failure such as Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is associated with elevated levels of toxins and inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream.

Recent Developments
On December 1, 2020, we reported the results of an in vitro study that validated the ability of Sigyn Therapy to simultaneously deplete a broad-spectrum of critical inflammatory targets from human blood plasma. In the study, Sigyn Therapy reduced the presence of endotoxin and relevant pro-inflammatory cytokines, which included Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a). Endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide or LPS) is a well-known inflammatory trigger implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis and septic shock resulting from gram-negative bacterial infections. The dysregulated over-production of IL-1b, IL-6 and TNF-a is known to induce organ failure and cause death. An objective of the study was to rebalance elevated cytokine levels and optimize the elimination of endotoxin from human blood plasma. The study was conducted in triplicate over four-hour time periods with a pediatric version of Sigyn Therapy. Average reduction of endotoxin load peaked at 83% during the studies. The average reduction of IL-1b was 69%, IL-6 reduction was 59% and TNF-a reduction was 57% during the four-hour studies. We plan to incorporate this data into an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that we expect to submit to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) prior to the end of the 2021 calendar year. Our IDE submission will request permission to initiate U.S. human feasibility studies with a primary objective to demonstrate that Sigyn Therapy can be safely administered to subjects diagnosed with a Cytokine Storm Syndrome related condition. There is no assurance that FDA will approve our IDE submission to permit human studies.
We are also evaluating the ability of Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory cytokine cargos throughout the bloodstream. Based on recent peer-reviewed publications and emerging scientific evidence, we believe the simultaneous clearance of circulating CytoVesicles, endotoxin and inflammatory cytokines may overcome the limitations of previous drug and medical device candidates to treat sepsis and other life-threatening inflammatory conditions.
On January 6, 2021, we disclosed the results of an in vitro pilot study that modeled the ability of the adsorbent components we incorporate within Sigyn Therapy to address CytoVesicles. CytoVesicles (extracellular vesicles that transport inflammatory cytokine cargos) participate in concert with freely circulating cytokines to further escalate the Cytokine Storm. CytoVesicles have previously been elusive targets for extracorporeal blood purification therapies as they can be 20-50 times larger than cytokines themselves. In our in vitro pilot study, 104 nanometer liposomes were utilized as a model system to assess the ability of Sigyn Therapy’s adsorbent components to deplete CytoVesicles from human blood plasma. After a two-hour interaction with our cocktail of adsorbent components, liposome concentrations in human blood plasma were reduced ~90%. Previously published studies have validated liposomes as a model for the isolation of extracellular vesicles from blood based on the similarity of their size and structural characteristics. There is no assurance that any in vitro study outcome of Sigyn Therapy or its components will translate into similar performance outcomes in human studies.
The Company has begun its planned principal operations, and accordingly, the Company has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.
The Company currently operates in one business segment. The Company is not organized by market and is managed and operated as one business. A single management team reports to the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, who comprehensively manages the entire business. The Company does not currently operate any separate lines of businesses or separate business entities.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $1,261,000 at December 31, 2020, had working capital of approximately $76,000 and a working capital deficit of $1,000 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, had a net loss of approximately $1,260,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $830,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, with no revenue earned since inception, and a lack of operational history. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
F-8 |
While the Company is attempting to expand operations and increase revenues, the Company’s cash position may not be significant enough to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private offering or an asset sale transaction. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While management believes in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds or transact an asset sale, there can be no assurances to that effect or on terms acceptable to the Company. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include among others: common stock valuation, and the recoverability of intangibles. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
Cash
The Company’s cash is held in bank accounts in the United States and is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. The Company has not experienced any cash losses.
Income Taxes
The Company is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes; accordingly, income taxes have not been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. All of the Company’s income or losses are passed through to its members.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
Advertising expenses are recorded as general and administrative expenses when they are incurred. There was no advertising expense for the periods presented.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (net realizable value) on a lot basis each quarter. A lot is determined by the cut, clarity, size, and weight of the sapphires. Inventory consists of sapphire jewels that meet rigorous grading criteria and are of cuts and sizes most commonly used in the jewelry industry. Inventory consists loose sapphire jewels, jewelry for sale on our website, and jewelry held as samples. Samples are used to show potential customers what the jewelry would look like. Promotional items given to customers that are not expected to be returned will be removed from inventory and expensed. There have been no promotional items given to customers as of December 31, 2020. The Company performs its own in-house assessment based on gem guide and the current market price for metals to value its inventory on an annual basis or if circumstances dictate sooner to determine if the estimated fair value is greater or less than cost. In addition, the inventory is reviewed each quarter by the Company against industry prices from gem-guide and if there is a potential impairment, the Company would appraise the inventory. The estimated fair value is subject to significant change due to changes in popularity of cut, perceived grade of the clarity of the sapphires, the number, type and size of inclusions, the availability of other similar quality and size sapphires, and other factors. As a result, the internal assessed value of the sapphires could be significantly lower from the current estimated fair value. Loose sapphire jewels do not degrade in quality over time.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. Fixed assets are examined for the possibility of decreases in value when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of website development costs. Our intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of three years.
F-9 |
Assignment of Patent
On January 8, 2020, James Joyce, the Company’s CEO and Craig Roberts, the Company’s COO, assigned to the Company the rights to patent 62/881,740 pertaining to the devices, systems and methods for the broad-spectrum reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines in blood.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We periodically evaluate whether the carrying value of property, equipment and intangible assets has been impaired when circumstances indicate the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying value is not recoverable, the impairment loss is measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value.
Our impairment analyses require management to apply judgment in estimating future cash flows as well as asset fair values, including forecasting useful lives of the assets, assessing the probability of different outcomes, and selecting the discount rate that reflects the risk inherent in future cash flows. If the carrying value is not recoverable, we assess the fair value of long-lived assets using commonly accepted techniques, and may use more than one method, including, but not limited to, recent third-party comparable sales and discounted cash flow models. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an impairment charge in the future. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and from inception (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019, the Company had not experienced impairment losses on its long-lived assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, as follows:
● | 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 measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities |
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. There were no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. There have been no transfers between levels.
F-10 |
Basic and diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares (including common stock subject to redemption) plus dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the reporting period. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
There were no potential dilutive securities outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from inception (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019.
Stock Based Compensation
In accordance with ASC No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), we measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation arrangements include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant. We apply this statement prospectively. Equity instruments (“instruments”) issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by ASC 718. ASC No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505”) defines the measurement date and recognition period for such instruments. In general, the measurement date is (a) when a performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) when the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the ASC 505. We have no stock based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the period from inception (October 29, 2019) through December 31, 2019.
Concentrations, Risks, and Uncertainties
Business Risk
Substantial business risks and uncertainties are inherent to an entity, including the potential risk of business failure.
The Company is headquartered and operates in the United States. To date, the Company has generated no revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital and failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Also, the success of the Company’s operations is subject to numerous contingencies, some of which are beyond management’s control. Currently, these contingencies include general economic conditions, price of components, competition, and governmental and political conditions.
Interest rate risk

Major Suppliers
Sigyn Therapy is comprised of components that are supplied by various industry vendors. Additionally, the Company is reliant on third-party organizations to conduct clinical development studies that are necessary to advance Sigyn Therapy toward the marketplace.
Should the relationship with an industry vendor or third-party clinical development organization be interrupted or discontinued, it is believed that alternate component suppliers and third-party clinical development organizations could be identified to support the continued advancement of Sigyn Therapy.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and had an immaterial impact from this standard.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. This standard aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The Company’s accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the proposed amendments and will continue to be expensed as incurred in accordance with existing guidance. This standard does not expand on existing disclosure requirements except to require a description of the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. Entities can choose to adopt the new guidance prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the updated disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2018-15 prospectively in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and had an immaterial impact from this standard.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This standard simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Taxes, while also clarifying and amending existing guidance, including interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. This standard is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and expects the impact from this standard to be immaterial.
Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES
At December 31, 2020, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal and state income tax purposes totaling approximately $1,229,000 available to reduce future income which under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2018, allows for an indefinite carryforward period, with carryforwards limited to 80% of each subsequent year’s net income. There is no income tax affect due to the recognition of a full valuation allowance on the expected tax benefits of future loss carry forwards based on uncertainty surrounding realization of such assets.
A reconciliation of the statutory income tax rates and the effective tax rate is as follows:
From Inception | ||||||||
(October 29, | ||||||||
2019) through | ||||||||
December 31, | December 31, | |||||||

Valuation allowance | (28.0 | )% | (28.0 | )% | ||||
Provision for income taxes | 0.0 | % | 0.0 | % |
The tax effects of the temporary differences and carry forwards that give rise to deferred tax assets consist of the following:

Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 352,912 | $ | 434 | ||||

NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share, requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (EPS) computations.
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same since net losses for all periods presented and including the additional potential common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:
From Inception | ||||||||
(October 29, 2019) | ||||||||
Year Ended December 31, | through December 31, | |||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||
