CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management and expected market growth, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “could,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,”, “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “seek,” “contemplate,” “project,” “continue,” “potential,” “ongoing” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the risk factors discussed throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
● | our ability to obtain additional funds for our operations; |
● | our financial performance; |
● | risks relating to the timing and costs of clinical trials and the timing and costs of other expenses; |
● | risks related to market acceptance of products; |
● | intellectual property risks; |
● | the impact of government regulation and developments relating to our competitors or our industry; |
● | our competitive position; |

● | our ability to attract and retain qualified key management and technical personnel; |
● | statements regarding our goals, intensions, plans and expectations, including the introduction of new products and markets; |
● | our cash needs and financing plans. |
These statements relate to future events or our future operational or financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
Any forward-looking statement in this report reflects our current view with respect to future events and is subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to our business, results of operations, industry and future growth. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
This report also contains estimates, projections and other information concerning our industry, our business and our markets, including data regarding the estimated size of those markets and their projected growth rates. Information that is based on estimates, forecasts, projections or similar methodologies is inherently subject to uncertainties and actual events or circumstances may differ materially from events and circumstances reflected in this information. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we obtained these industry, business, market and other data from reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by third parties, industry, and general publications, government data and similar sources. While we believe that the reports, research surveys, studies and similar data prepared by third parties are reliable, we have not independently verified the data contained in them.
You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect any events or circumstances, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, after the date hereof. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

Additionally, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $13,534,071 on September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had working capital of $7,216,955.
The positive working capital serves to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the Company has sufficient cash and liquid short-term investments to meet its obligations for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this filing.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include the collectability of notes receivable, the percentage of completion of research and development projects, valuation of equity investments, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, and the fair value of shares and stock options issued for services.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $4,177,000 and $2,805,000, respectively. In connection with the early termination of a certificate of deposit, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company paid a penalty of $166,034, which is reflected on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Any material loss that we may experience in the future could have an adverse effect on our ability to pay our operational expenses or make other payments.
Short-Term Investments
The Company’s portfolio of short-term investments consists of marketable debt securities which are comprised solely of highly rated U.S. government securities with maturities of more than three months, but less than one year. The Company classifies these as available-for-sale at purchase date and will reevaluate such designation at each period end date. The Company may sell these marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities depending upon changing liquidity requirements. These debt securities are classified as current assets in the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income and as a component of the unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Gains and losses are recognized when realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
An impairment loss may be recognized when the decline in fair value of the debt securities is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis each quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of the short-term investments may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below the cost basis, as well as adverse conditions related specifically to the security, such as any changes to the credit rating of the security and the intent to sell or whether the Company will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
The Company recorded $11,771 and $26,024 of unrealized gain on short-term investments as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded $2,558 and $(723) of unrealized gain (loss) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

Equity Investments, at Fair Value
Realized gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s carrying value and the net proceeds received from such disposition. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific identification. Net unrealized gains or losses are computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and the cost basis of such investment. Net unrealized gains or losses for equity investments are recognized in operations as the difference between the carrying value at the beginning of the period and the fair value at the end of the period. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no such investments.
Note Receivable
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current note receivable aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded as part of general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company recognized an allowance for loss on the note receivable and accrued interest receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses, and accordingly, the Company recorded bad debt expense of $69,600, which represents the note receivable principal balance of $60,000 and accrued interest receivable of $9,600. As of September 30, 2024, there were no subsequent collections of previously written-off notes receivable.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $246,454 and $15,970 on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, consist primarily of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, prepaid expenses and other assets – non-current amounted to $60,604 and $64,983, respectively, and consist primarily of costs paid for future services which will occur after a year. Prepaid expenses may include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for consulting, research and development, license fees, public relations and business advisory services, and legal fees which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements, which may exceed a year of service.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, consisting of an exclusive license agreement, are carried at cost less accumulated amortization, computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 20 years, less any impairment charges. The Company examines the possibility of decreases in the value of these assets when events or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.
For the license and royalty income, revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation based on the related license agreement. Payments received from the licensee that are related to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized as revenues over the term of the related license agreement (see Note 7).

Cost of Revenues
The primary components of cost of revenues on license fees includes the cost of the license fees. Payments made to the licensor that are related to future periods are recorded as prepaid expense to be amortized over the term of the related license agreement (see Note 7).
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Research and Development
In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs were $1,292,437 and $508,127, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, research and development costs were $517,548 and $174,495, respectively.
Leases
Leases are accounted for using ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has no leases. The Company will analyze any lease to determine if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its unaudited consolidated balance sheets at fair value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Net Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive securities which include stock options and stock warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses.

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Accordingly, the estimates presented in these unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
Level 1 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. | |
Level 2 - | Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
Level 3 - | Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, notes receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy of its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments” allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding equity instruments.

The July 2024 Investor Warrants have an exercise price of $2.75 per share, and are exercisable immediately upon issuance for a five-year period.

The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in legal and accounting fees of $24,659, a decrease in other consulting fees of $77,365, and a decrease in stock-based consulting fees of $22,517 related to the amortization of prepaid expense on previously issued shares to consultants for business advisory and strategic planning services, offset by an increase in investor relations of $45,264.

The increase was a result of an increase in research and development costs in connection with the Investigator-sponsored Study Agreement with UCSF, UMB, Columbia University, and other parties.

● | Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: |
Selling, general and administrative expenses include advertising and promotion, patent related expenses, public company expenses, custodian fees, bank service charges, travel, and other office expenses.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.
Research and Development
In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective or Adopted
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are not required to provide the information required by this Item as we are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024.
The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting:
● | We lack segregation of duties within accounting functions duties as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel; and. | |
● | We have not implemented adequate system and manual controls. |
Until such time as we expand our staff to include additional accounting personnel, it is likely we will continue to report material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control 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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be subject to litigation and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.

Exhibit 10.3
SECOND AMENDMENT
TO
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
This Second Amendment (this “Amendment”) to Employment Agreement is hereby entered into on November 11, 2024 by and between SILO Pharma, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and Daniel Ryweck (“Executive”). The Company and Executive are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive are parties to that certain Employment Agreement dated as of September 28, 2022, as amended by the certain First Amendment to Employment Agreement dated as of October 12, 2022 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend the Employment Agreement as set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. | Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Employment Agreement. |
2. | The first sentence in Section 4.2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: |
“In addition to the Base Salary set forth in Section 4.1 above, the Executive shall be entitled to receive an annual cash bonus (“Annual Bonus”) in an amount up to $60,000 if the Company meets or exceeds criteria adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) for earning bonuses. The criteria shall typically be adopted by the Compensation Committee annually after consultation with the Executive and which criteria must be reasonably likely to be attainable. Annual Bonuses shall be paid by the Company to the Executive promptly after the year end, it being understood that the Compensation Committee’s determinations concerning attainment of any financial targets associated with any bonus determination shall not be determined until following the completion of the Company’s annual audit, if any, but in no event later than April 15th of the year following the year for which it is being paid (and if the Executive was employed as of the last day of the calendar year to which such Annual Bonus relates, then the Executive shall be entitled to the Annual Bonus for such year, even if he is not employed by the Company on the date the Annual Bonus is paid for such last year). The Compensation Committee may provide for lesser or greater percentage Annual Bonus payments for Executive upon achievement of partial or additional criteria established or determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, if Executive is employed upon expiration of the term of this Agreement, he shall be entitled to the Annual Bonus for such last year on a pro-rata basis through the last date of employment, even if he is not employed by the Company on the date the Annual Bonus is paid for such last year. In his sole discretion, the Executive may elect to receive such annual bonus in common stock of the Company at the basis determined by the Compensation Committee in good faith.”
3. | This agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of laws rules thereof or the actual domiciles of the parties. |
4. | Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the Employment Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed. On and after the date of this agreement, each reference in the Employment Agreement to the “Agreement”, “hereinafter”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Employment Agreement as amended by this agreement. |
5. | This agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which taken together shall constitute a single Amendment. |
