NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
Corporate History and Background
Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sigyn” or the “Company”) was incorporated 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 of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 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 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 $ were converted into a total of 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 August 10, 2021, we have a total shares issued and outstanding, of which 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
Since December 1, 2020, we have reported the results from a series of in vitro blood purification studies that have demonstrated the expansive capabilities of Sigyn Therapy to address pathogen sources of inflammation, deadly toxins and relevant inflammatory mediators.
Among the therapeutic targets validated were viral pathogens (including COVID-19), bacterial endotoxin, relevant inflammatory cytokines (Interleukin-1 beta, Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) and hepatic toxins (ammonia, bilirubin, and bile acid). We also completed a study that modeled our ability to capture CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory cargos throughout the bloodstream.
Contributing to these expansive capabilities is a formulation of adsorbent components that are incorporated within Sigyn Therapy. Our adsorbent formulation provides more than 170,000 square meters of surface area on which to adsorb and remove bloodstream targets. This equates to more than 40 acres of surface adsorption area in each adult version of Sigyn Therapy. To date, we have demonstrated that Sigyn Therapy can addresses inflammatory targets as well as pathogen sources of inflammation whose molecular size can exceed 100 nanometers in size.
On July 29, 2020, we disclosed the completion of our first-in-mammal pilot study that demonstrated the safe administration of Sigyn Therapy during six-hour treatment exposures. In coming months, we plan to continue our collection of animal safety data, which will be included in an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that we are drafting for submission to The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support the potential initiation of human clinical studies. However, there is no assurance that FDA will permit the initiation of our proposed human studies in the United States.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 $
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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated 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 $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for 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 the Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 740, which established financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income must be assessed and, to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance is established. Changes in the valuation allowance in a period are recorded through the income tax provision in the consolidated Statements of Operations.
ASC
740-10-30 was adopted from the date of its inception. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized
in an entity’s consolidated 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

Inventories
In conjunction with the October 19, 2020 Share Exchange Agreement, the Company kept the gem inventory of Reign Resources Corporation. 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. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company carried primarily 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 June 30, 2021. 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. The estimated fair value per management’s internal assessment is greater than the cost, therefore, there is no indicator of impairment as of June 30, 2021.

Assignment of Patent
On January 8, 2020, James Joyce, the Company’s CEO and Craig Roberts, the Company’s CTO, 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 analysis requires 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. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had

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 June 30, 2021 and 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.
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. 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 potential dilutive securities outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
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 stock-based compensation as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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
Financial assets and liabilities do not have material interest rate risk.
Credit risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its cash in banks. The credit risk on cash in banks is limited because the counterparties are recognized financial institutions.
Seasonality
The business is not subject to substantial seasonal fluctuations.
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.

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 adopted ASU No. 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, coinciding with the standard’s effective date, and had an immaterial impact from this standard.
Other recently issued accounting updates are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASES
The
Company adopted ASC 842 as of December 31, 2019. The Company has an operating lease for the Company’s corporate office and accounts
for this lease in accordance with ASC 842. Adoption of the standard resulted in the initial recognition of operating lease ROU asset
of $
On
May 27, 2021, the Company entered into a sixty-three month lease for its Corporate office at $
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Generally, the implicit rate of interest in arrangements is not readily determinable and the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of what its credit rating would be. The operating lease ROU asset includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our variable lease payments primarily consist of maintenance and other operating expenses from our real estate leases. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected to account for these lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. We are also electing not to apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases of twelve months or less and instead will recognize lease payments as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The components of lease expense and supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the period are as follows:
In accordance with ASC 842, the components of lease expense were as follows:

Description of Business, Principal Products, Services
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 August 10, 2021, we have a total 36,671,656 shares issued and outstanding, of which 11,031,656 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
Since December 1, 2020, we have reported the results from a series of in vitro blood purification studies that have demonstrated the expansive capabilities of Sigyn Therapy to address pathogen sources of inflammation, deadly toxins and relevant inflammatory mediators.
Among the therapeutic targets validated were viral pathogens (including COVID-19), bacterial endotoxin, relevant inflammatory cytokines (Interleukin-1 beta, Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) and hepatic toxins (ammonia, bilirubin, and bile acid). We also completed a study that modeled our ability to capture CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory cargos throughout the bloodstream.
Contributing to these expansive capabilities is a formulation of adsorbent components that are incorporated within Sigyn Therapy. Our adsorbent formulation provides more than 170,000 square meters of surface area on which to adsorb and remove bloodstream targets. This equates to more than 40 acres of surface adsorption area in each adult version of Sigyn Therapy. To date, we have demonstrated that Sigyn Therapy can addresses inflammatory targets as well as pathogen sources of inflammation whose molecular size can exceed 100 nanometers in size.
On July 29, 2020, we disclosed the completion of our first-in-mammal pilot study that demonstrated the safe administration of Sigyn Therapy during six-hour treatment exposures. In coming months, we plan to continue our collection of animal safety data, which will be included in an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that we are drafting for submission to The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support the potential initiation of human clinical studies. However, there is no assurance that FDA will permit the initiation of our proposed human studies in the United States.

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.
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.
32 |
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.

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.
33 |
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 3 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.

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.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020
Cash Flows from Operating Activities – For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in operations was $681,534 compared to net cash used in operations of $347,089 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $1,111,543 for six months ended June 30, 2021 and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $17,374, primarily due to the increase in accounts payable of $24,661, accrued payroll and payroll taxes of $5,020, other current liabilities of $1,026, offset primarily by other current assets of $27,370, and other assets of $20,711.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $347,089. Net cash used in operations was primarily due to a net loss of $511,578, and the changes in operating assets and liabilities of $21,796, primarily due to the net changes in prepaid expenses of $45,325, accounts payable of $579, accrued payroll and payroll taxes of $67,700. In addition, net cash provided by operating activities was offset primarily by adjustments to reconcile net profit from the accretion of the debt discount of $127,921 and accretion of original issuance costs of $14,772.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities – For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash used in investing was $2,871 due to the purchase of property and equipment compared to cash flows from investing activities of $1,299 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the purchase of website development costs.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities – For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, net cash provided by financing was $1,660,000 due to common stock issued for cash of $1,465,000, proceeds from short term convertible notes of $250,000, and repayment of short term convertible notes of $55,000 compared to cash flows from financing activities of $450,005 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the proceeds from short term convertible notes.
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.

Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 $2,373,000 at June 30, 2021, had working capital of approximately $920,000 at June 30, 2021 and $76,000 at December 31, 2020, respectively, had a net loss of approximately $650,000 and $1,112,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and net cash used in operating activities of approximately $682,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, 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.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

● | an obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that is held by, and material to us, where such entity provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to or engages in leasing, hedging, or research and development services with us. |
Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our results of operations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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 Principal Executive and Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial and Accounting Officer, 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. Based on such evaluation, management identified deficiencies that were determined to be a material weakness.
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 June 30, 2021. 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 June 30, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was ineffective based on the COSO criteria, due to the following material weaknesses listed below.
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 |
45 |
Despite the material weaknesses reported above, our management believes that our unaudited condensed 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.
Management’s Remediation Plan
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 quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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 2022 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 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 six months ending June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
