CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, or this Report, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Report or incorporated by reference into this Report are forward-looking statements. These statements include, among other things, any predictions of earnings, revenues, expenses or other financial items; plans or expectations with respect to our development activities or business strategy; statements concerning clinical studies and results; statements concerning industry trends; statements regarding anticipated demand for our products, or the products of our competitors; statements relating to manufacturing forecasts, and the potential impact of our relationship with contract manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers on our business; statements relating to the commercialization of our products, assumptions regarding the future cost and potential benefits of our research and development efforts; forecasts of our liquidity position or available cash resources; statements relating to the impact of pending litigation; statements regarding the anticipated impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and statements relating to the assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Throughout this Report, we have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by using words such as "may," "believe," "will," "could," "project," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "should," "continue," "potential," "plan," "forecasts," "goal," "seek," "intend," other forms of these words or similar words or expressions or the negative thereof (although not all forward-looking statements contain these words).

We have based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about trends affecting our business and industry and other future events. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties that could cause our future business, financial condition, results of operations or performance, to differ materially from our historical results or those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement contained in this Report. For instance, if we fail to develop and commercialize diagnostic products, we may be unable to execute our plan of operations. Other risks and uncertainties include those associated with:

	·	the COVID-19 pandemic;
	·	our failure to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals to distribute and market future products in the veterinary or clinical in-vitro diagnostics, or IVD, market;
	·	a failure by the marketplace to accept the products in our development pipeline or any other diagnostic products we might develop;
	·	our failure to secure adequate intellectual property protection;
	·	the potential obsolescence of our intended products due to the highly competitive nature of the diagnostics market and its rapid technological change; and
	·	other risks identified elsewhere in this Report, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC.

In addition, actual results may differ as a result of additional risks and uncertainties of which we are currently unaware or which we do not currently view as material to our business. For these reasons, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Our actual financial condition and results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2021, or our Annual Report, this Report, the documents that we file as exhibits to this Report and the documents that we incorporate by reference into this Report, with the understanding that our future results may be materially different from what we currently expect. The forward-looking statements we make speak only as of the date on which they are made. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date hereof to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our opinions or expectations. If we do update or correct any forward-looking statements, readers should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

($ expressed in United States Dollars)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements of VolitionRx Limited (the "Company", "VolitionRx," "we" or "us") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, are not audited. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods and, consequently, do not include all disclosures required to be made in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). In the opinion of our management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2021, and our results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full-year period. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 22, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, borrowing rate used in operating lease right-of-use asset and liability valuations, impairment analysis of intangible assets, and valuations of stock-based compensation.

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021 include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Volition Pte. Limited ("Singapore Volition"). Singapore Volition has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Belgian Volition SRL ("Belgian Volition"). Belgian Volition has four subsidiaries, Volition Diagnostics UK Limited ("Volition Diagnostics"), Volition America, Inc. ("Volition America"), Volition Germany GmbH ("Volition Germany"), and its one majority-owned subsidiary Volition Veterinary Diagnostics Development LLC ("Volition Vet"). See Note 8(f) for more information regarding Volition Vet and Volition Germany. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers interest bearing deposits with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight investments and reflects these amounts in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. As of June 30, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $27.9 million, of which $20.2 million was held in an overnight money market account.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Accounts Receivables

Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. Due to the nature of the accounts receivable balance, the Company believes the risk of doubtful accounts is minimal and therefore no allowance is recorded. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. The Company may provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2021, the accounts receivable balance was $15,832 and the allowance for doubtful debts was $nil.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," effective January 1, 2019. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenues when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation(s).

The Company generates product revenues from the sale of its Nu.Q^® Vet Cancer Screening Test, from the sale of nucleosomes, and from the sale of Research Use Only kits pursuant to its license agreement with Active Motif, Inc. ("Active Motif") from which the Company receives royalties. In addition, revenue is received from external third parties for services the Company performs for them in its laboratory.

Revenues, and their respective treatment for financial reporting purposes under ASC 606, are as follows:

Royalty

The Company receives royalty revenues on the net sales recognized during the period in which the revenue is earned, and the amount is determinable from the licensee. These are presented in "Royalty" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company does not have future performance obligations under this revenue stream. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company records these revenues based on estimates of the net sales that occurred during the relevant period from the licensee. The relevant period estimates of these royalties are based on preliminary gross sales data provided by Active Motif and analysis of historical gross-to-net adjustments. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues are adjusted for in the period in which they become known.

Product

The Company includes revenue from product sales recognized during the period in which goods are shipped to third parties, and the amount is deemed collectable from the third parties. These are presented in "Product" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Services

The Company includes revenue recognized from laboratory services performed in the Company's laboratory on behalf of third parties in "Services" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

For each development and/or commercialization agreement that results in revenues, the Company identifies all performance obligations, aside from those that are immaterial, which may include a license to intellectual property and know-how, development activities and/or transition activities. In order to determine the transaction price, in addition to any upfront payment, the Company estimates the amount of variable consideration at the outset of the contract either utilizing the expected value or most likely amount method, depending on the facts and circumstances relative to the contract. The Company constrains (reduces) the estimates of variable consideration such that it is probable that a significant reversal of previously recognized revenue will not occur throughout the life of the contract. When determining if variable consideration should be constrained, management considers whether there are factors outside the Company's control that could result in a significant reversal of revenue. In making these assessments, the Company considers the likelihood and magnitude of a potential reversal of revenue. These estimates are re-assessed each reporting period as required.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings Per Share," which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") on the face of the statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of June 30, 2021, 4,732,235 potential common shares equivalents from warrants, options, and restricted stock units ("RSUs") were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Reclassification

Certain amounts presented in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation. The Company has reclassified the prior period comparative amounts in the statement of stockholders' equity and cash flows to be consistent with the current year classification.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. The Company does not believe there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact

As of the date of this filing, there continue to be widespread concerns regarding the ongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the regions in which the Company operates. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that could impact our clinical trials, including delays enrolling patients and in sample collection.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations in the future is highly uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors. These include the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of new variants of the COVID-19 virus that may be more contagious or virulent than previous versions, the scope of mandated or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the effect of government stabilization and recovery efforts, and the success of vaccine distribution programs.

Note 2 - Going Concern

The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $121.8 million, has negative cash flows from operations, and has minimal revenues, which creates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions, financing and/or to generate revenues as may be required to sustain its operations. Management plans to address the above as needed by (a) securing additional grant funds, (b) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity transactions, (c) granting licenses to third parties in exchange for specified up-front and/or back-end payments and (d) developing and commercializing its products on an accelerated timeline. Management continues to exercise tight cost controls to conserve cash.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

b) Operating Lease Right-of-Use Obligations

As all the existing leases subject to the new lease standard ASC 842 ("Leases") were previously classified as operating leases by the Company, they were similarly classified as operating leases under the new standard. The Company has determined that the identified operating leases did not contain non-lease components and require no further allocation of the total lease cost. Additionally, the agreements in place did not contain information to determine the rate implicit in the leases, so the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Volition Germany

On January 10, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Belgian Volition, acquired an epigenetic reagent company, Octamer GmbH ("Octamer"), based in Munich, Germany, and hired its founder for his expertise and knowledge to be passed to Company personnel. On March 9, 2020, Octamer was renamed to Volition Germany GmbH (or "Volition Germany").

Upon considering the definition of a business, as defined in ASC 805 "Business Combinations," paragraph 805-10-20, which is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return, the Company has determined that this did not constitute a business. This is primarily due to the fact that additional inputs are needed in the form of training personnel further to produce outputs. Accordingly, the Company has treated this transaction as the hiring of a member of management, described below, rather than accounting for the transaction as a business combination.

The Company agreed to terms of the transaction on December 13, 2019 and closed on January 10, 2020. Pursuant to the transaction agreement, the Company purchased all outstanding shares of Octamer. In exchange, the Company agreed to issue 73,263 newly issued restricted shares of Company common stock valued at $333,969 (based on the $4.56 per share volume weighted trading price for the five days prior to December 13, 2019), committed to pay approximately €350,000, subject to adjustments, and agreed to pay off certain Octamer expenses leading up to the agreement (representing net liabilities of $6,535). At closing, the Company issued 73,263 restricted shares of Company common stock, paid an adjusted amount of approximately $357,000 (€321,736) and recorded a holdback liability of $55,404 (€50,000). During the three months ended March 31, 2021, an amount of €43,152 was paid in full settlement of the amount due.

In connection with the transaction agreement, the Company also entered into a two-year Managing Director's agreement with the founder of Octamer to continue to manage Volition Germany for a payment of €288,000 payable in equal monthly installments over such two-year period and a royalty agreement with the founder providing for the payment of royalties in the amount of 6% of net sales of Volition Germany's nucleosomes as reagents to pharmaceutical companies for use in the development, manufacture and screening of molecules for use as therapeutic drugs for a period of five years post-closing.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded approximately $753,000 in January 2020 as compensation expense as a result of cash paid in, holdback liability, stock issued and assumption of expenses. As of June 30, 2021, $85,330 is still to be paid by the Company under the Managing Director's agreement and $229 is payable under the 6% royalty agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Report and in our Annual Report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations and reflect our plans, estimates and anticipated future financial performance. These statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including those related to the anticipated impact on our business from, and our response to, the COVID-19 pandemic. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in this Report and in our Annual Report, as well as our other public filings with the SEC. Please refer to the section of this Report entitled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information.

Company Overview

VolitionRx is a multi-national epigenetics company that applies its Nucleosomics^TM platform through its subsidiaries to develop simple, easy to use, cost-effective blood tests to help diagnose a range of cancers and some other diseases, including sepsis and COVID-19, that are associated with the presence in the blood of networks of fibers released from activated neutrophils, a phenomenon known as NETosis. We hope that through earlier diagnosis we can help save and improve the quality of human and animals' lives throughout the world.

Our assays are based on the science of Nucleosomics^TM, which is the practice of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream or other bodily fluid, since changes in these parameters are an indication that disease is present.

Volition's approach is to investigate the epigenetic structure of chromatin and nucleosomes rather than investigating only the DNA sequence. We are continuously developing new technologies including:

	·	A suite of low cost Nu.Q® immunoassays that can accurately measure nucleosomes containing numerous epigenetic signals or structures, now being developed on a range of different enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA, platforms.
	·	Nu.Q® Capture technology to isolate or enrich nucleosomes containing particular epigenetic signals or structures for a wide range of potential scientific and medical applications, e.g., the enrichment of nucleosomes of tumor origin in blood samples taken from cancer patients.
	·	The production of synthetic (recombinant) nucleosomes, containing exact defined epigenetic signals and structures, which is now in-house. These nucleosomes are used to ensure maximal accuracy of Nu.Q® immunoassay tests but also have many other applications including Research Use Only, or RUO, kits and as tools in epigenetic drug development.

Volition has also developed the use of the Nu.Q^® technology in veterinary applications and launched its first product, the Nu.Q^® Vet Cancer Screening Test, in the fourth quarter of 2020. We are in the process of developing additional veterinary products, including a treatment monitoring test, a disease recurrence test and a point-of-care platform. Our extensive intellectual property portfolio includes the coverage of veterinary applications.

Commercialization Strategy

Volition believes that given the global prevalence of cancer and diseases associated with NETosis, and the low-cost, accessible and routine nature of our tests, Nu.Q^®could potentially be used throughout the world. We plan to work with partners to commercialize Nu.Q^®worldwide.

Commercialization will take multiple forms in various markets and opportunities including, but not limited to:

	·	Licensing and direct sales of the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Screening Test.
	·	Sales of veterinary clinical products utilizing Nu.Q® Vet assays and/or Nu.Q® Capture reagents through distributor networks.
	·	Licensing of intellectual property, or IP, for clinical products utilizing Nu.Q® assays and/or Nu.Q® Capture reagents.
	·	Sales of clinical products utilizing Nu.Q® assays and/or Nu.Q® Capture reagents through distributor networks.
	·	Licensing of IP for RUO kit sales of Nu.Q® assays and/or Nu.Q® Capture reagents.
	·	Licensing of IP for laboratory developed patient testing services utilizing Nu.Q® assays and/or Nu.Q® Capture reagents.
	·	Provision of direct research services in the processing of samples using Nu.Q® RUO assays and/or Nu.Q® Capture.

Developments - COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization designated the outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus known as COVID-19 as a global pandemic. Governments and businesses around the world have taken unprecedented actions to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, including, but not limited to, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, as well as restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets.

Throughout 2020 and the first six months of 2021, we have implemented contingency planning to protect the health and well-being of our employees, with the majority of our employees working remotely where possible. We have implemented travel restrictions as well as protocols limiting visitor access to our facilities, and we are following social distancing practices.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced and may continue to experience disruptions that could impact our clinical trials, including:

	·	delays in enrolling patients in clinical trials;
	·	delays in sample collection; and
	·	diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations in the future is highly uncertain and will be affected by a number of factors. These include the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of new variants of the COVID-19 virus that may be more contagious or virulent than previous versions, the scope of mandated or recommended containment and mitigation measures, the effect of government stabilization and recovery efforts, and the success of vaccine distribution programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations since inception primarily through private placements and public offerings of our common stock. As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $27.9 million.

Net cash used in operating activities was $11.6 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in cash used in operating activities for the period ended June 30, 2021 when compared to same period in 2020 was primarily due to increased payroll costs reflecting growth in staff numbers, higher legal and professional fees in relation to the registered public offering and an increase in marketing expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to purchases of laboratory equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $20.7 million and $13.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities for the period ended June 30, 2021 when compared to same period in 2020 was primarily due to $18.9 million in net cash received from the issuance of shares of common stock in a registered public offering in February 2021, $1.2 million in cash received from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the 2018 Equity Distribution Agreement and $1.2 million in cash received from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the 2020 Equity Distribution Agreement, compared to $12.7 million in net cash received from the issuance of shares of common stock in a registered public offering in May 2020 and $1.7 million in cash received from the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the 2018 Equity Distribution Agreement. For additional information on the "at the market offering program," refer to Note 6, Common Stock - Equity Distribution Agreements, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We intend to use our cash reserves to predominantly fund further research and development activities. We do not currently have any substantial source of revenues and expect to rely on additional future financing, through the sale of equity or debt securities, or the sale of licensing rights, to provide sufficient funding to execute our strategic plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.

In the event that additional financing is delayed, we will prioritize the maintenance of our research and development personnel and facilities, primarily in Belgium, and the maintenance of our patent rights. In such instance, the completion of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD and veterinary markets would be delayed. In the event of an ongoing lack of financing, it may be necessary to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of our common stock.

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 an explanatory paragraph regarding factors that raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Net Loss

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company's net loss was $11.7 million in comparison to a net loss of $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The change was a result of the factors described above.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining external financing to continue to pursue our operational and strategic plans. For these reasons, management has determined that there is substantial doubt that the business will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

Future Financings

We may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, if we deem it desirable or necessary. These sales may include the sale of equity securities from time to time through our "at the market offering program" with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. under the Equity Distribution Agreement dated November 10, 2020 (see Note 6 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements). However, we may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution, or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our interim consolidated financial statements and related condensed notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on current facts, historical experiences, information from third party professionals and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those estimates made by management. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations could be affected.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. The Company does not believe that there are any other applicable new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to disclose this information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, as they previously concluded as of December 31, 2020, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2021, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as referenced below and described in detail in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The deficiencies identified involve the segregation of duties in some areas of finance, the oversight in information technologies, where certain processes may affect the internal controls over financial reporting, and the monitoring of review controls with respect to accounting for complex transactions.

During the first half of 2021, our management, with oversight from our audit committee, has implemented the following remediation steps to help address and mitigate some of the underlying deficiencies which gave rise to the previously disclosed material weaknesses and to improve our internal control over financial reporting:

	·	hired additional full-time accounting resources and financial planning and analysis resources with appropriate levels of experience;
	·	changed certain organizational reporting lines and reallocated certain responsibilities to improve segregation of duties; and
	·	reallocated responsibilities across the finance and accounting organization to ensure that the appropriate level of knowledge and experience is applied based on complexity of tasks being undertaken.

We intend to take additional steps to mitigate the issues identified. Such measures include but may not be limited to:

	·	strengthening our internal processes and reviews, including formal documentation thereof;
	·	preparation of risk-control matrices to identify key risks and develop and document policies to mitigate those risks; and
	·	engaging additional resources if necessary to help us assess, document, design and implement control activities related to internal control over financial reporting.

As we continue to evaluate and test the remediation plan outlined above, we may also identify additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify certain of the remediation procedures described above. We also may implement additional changes to our internal control over financial reporting as may be appropriate in the course of remediating the material weakness. Management, with the oversight of our audit committee, will continue to take steps necessary to remedy the material weakness to reinforce the overall design and capability of our control environment.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Except for the ongoing remediation of the material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting noted above, no changes in our internal control over financial reporting were made during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
