Please respond to this letter within ten business days by providing the requested

Form 10-Q for the Quarterly Period Ended September 30, 2024
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 7. Note payable, related party, page 12
We note your disclosure on page 9 that your Note payable, related party contains an
embedded derivative in the form of payment via equity and therefore has been
accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. We further note your disclosure of the
movement in the liability and derivative components of the Note payable, related
party on page 12. Please address the following:
•Provide us with a copy of the Revolving Promissory Note, as amended on July 24,
2024. In this regard, we could not locate this most recent amendment in your
exhibits.
Provide us with a robust accounting analysis for this transaction, including your
consideration of the guidance set forth in ASC 470-50-40 as it relates to debt •1.

modifications and ASC 815-15-25 as it relates to bifurcation of the embedded
conversion option. In this regard, cite the specific guidance you relied upon in
determining that the conversion option required bifurcation.
•Explain how you applied the guidance in ASC 815-15-30-2 in allocating the
carrying amount of the hybrid instrument between the debt host contract and the
embedded derivative and how this allocation resulted in a $5.6 million gain. In
this regard, it is unclear to us why if the embedded derivative was determined to
have a fair value of $1.4 million (as disclosed on page 12), $7.1 million was
allocated from the carrying amount of the Note payable, related party, resulting in
a $5.6 million gain. ASC 815-15-30-2 requires the embedded derivative to be
recognized at its fair value at inception and the carrying value assigned to the host
contract to be calculated as the difference between the previous carrying amount
of the hybrid instrument and the fair value of the derivative. Please advise.

2.We note your disclosure regarding the Equivir License Agreement which was entered
into with ProPhase BioPharma on March 18, 2022. Please revise your future filings to
also disclose the significant terms of the July 18, 2022 License Agreement with
ProPhase for the development and commercialization of your LB-1 and LB-2
compounds. Please also disclose your revenue recognition policy for each of these
agreements, including your performance obligations under each contract, your
determination of the transaction price and the method by which revenue is being
recognized. As it relates to the July 18, 2022 License Agreement, explain how you
determined that upfront recognition of the $50,000 license fee was appropriate.
In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments,
action or absence of action by the staff.
