ITEM 1. BUSINESS
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., a Wyoming corporation, is a corporation organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications in technical textile. We use genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create our recombinant spider silk. Applications include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics and more. We believe that we have been a leader in the research and development of commercially scalable and cost effective spider silk for technical textile and non-fibrous applications. Our primary proprietary fiber technology includes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. Our business brings twenty-first century biotechnology to the historical silk industry, permitting us to introduce materials with innovative properties and claims into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning and weaving, and manufacture of garments and other products that can include our specialty fibers and textiles. Specialty fibers are engineered for specific uses that require exceptional strength, flexibility, heat resistance and/or chemical resistance. The specialty fiber market is exemplified by two synthetic fiber products that come from petroleum derivatives: (1) aramid fibers; and (2) ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The technical textile industry involves products for both industrial and consumer products, such as filtration fabrics, medical textiles (e.g., sutures and artificial ligaments), safety and protective clothing and fabrics used in military and aerospace applications (e.g., high-strength composite materials).
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency and flexibility for use in our target markets, namely the specialty fiber and technical textile industries. We believe that the genetically engineered protein-based fibers we seek to produce have properties that are in some ways superior to the materials currently available in the marketplace. Production of our product in commercial quantities holds what we believe to be potential life-saving ballistic resistant material, which we believe is lighter, thinner, more flexible, and tougher than steel. Other potential applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets.
Through our technologies, the introduction of the gene sequence based on those found in native spider silk, results in a germline transformation and is therefore self-perpetuating. This technology is in essence a protein expression platform which has other potential applications including diagnostics and pharmaceutical production. Moreover, our technologies are “green” inasmuch as our fibers and textiles are derived from nature and do not use any petrochemicals as an input into the fibers.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our financial statements as of December 31, 2021 include an explanatory paragraph stating that our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency at December 31, 2021 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Corporate Information
Kraig was incorporated in Wyoming in 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 2723 South State St. Suite 150, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104. Our website is located at www.kraiglabs.com and we make available, free of charge, on or through our website all of our periodic reports, including our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K, as soon as reasonably practicable after we file such reports with the SEC. Our website and the information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference and is not a part of this Annual Report.
Recent Developments
In August 2019, we received authorization from governmental authorities to begin rearing genetically enhanced silkworms at our production facility in Vietnam. In October 2019, the Company delivered the first batch of these silkworms and began operations. These silkworms served as the basis for the commercial expansion of our proprietary silk technology. On November 4, 2019, we reported that we had successfully completed rearing the first batch of its transgenic silkworms at the Quang Nam production factory. Seasonal challenges in late December 2019 slowed production operations and governmental restrictions imposed due to the global COVID pandemic further delayed our operations in 2020. In January of 2021 we received the first shipment of silk from our factory in Vietnam. We believe that we will be able to target metric tons of capacity of our recombinant spider silk fiber per annum from this factory once it reaches maximum utilization. This capacity will allow us to address initial demand for our products and materials for various applications in the protective, performance, and luxury textile markets.
In January 2022, we completed production of the first Dragon Silk yarn produced entirely in Vietnam. The finished recombinant spider silk yarn was spun from raw spider silk produced at Prodigy Textiles. We believe this production fully integrated Prodigy Textiles into Vietnam’s substantial silk textile industry. Vietnam produced nearly 1,000 metric tons of mundane silk in 20201. While Prodigy Textiles remains focused on ramping up the output of recombinant spider silk cocoons, these supporting vendors will play an essential role in processing that silk into finished goods for a wide range of consumer markets. We plan to ship this Dragon Silk yarn to SpydaSilk Enterprises in Singapore, a joint venture partially owned by the Company for weaving into fabrics and finished garments. Over the coming months, Prodigy Textiles will continue to leverage this expanded silk production success to address the material needs of SpydaSilk and make additional materials available for purchase to fill the numerous and backlogged material requests it has received.
Strategic Partnership
On November 23, 2020, we entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (the “SPA”) with Mthemovement Kings Pte Ltd (“Kings”). Kings is an eco-friendly luxury streetwear apparel line, part of the Kings Group of Companies and its affiliated companies. On January 25, 2021, the parties exchanged signatures for an amendment to the Agreement, which amended the procedures for termination of the SPA to only allow for the termination of the SPA by mutual agreement of the Company and Kings following a consultation period of 120 (one hundred and twenty) calendar days or such period as agreed otherwise between the parties (the “Amendment,” together with the SPA, the “Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties have formed a joint venture to develop and sell the Company’s spider silk fibers under the new innovative apparel and fashion brand, trade named SpydaSilk™ and potential other trademarks to be announced. All intellectual property related to SpydaSilk™ will be jointly owned by the Company and Kings. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted the joint venture and the SpydaSilk Enteprises Pte. Ltd. brand an exclusive geographic license to all the Company’s technologies for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, in exchange for a 4-year firm commitment to purchase up to $32 million of the Company’s raw recombinant spider silk over the 4-year period, with an initial payment of $250,000 to the Company. Kings is projected to purchase an additional $8 million of material in the fourth year, but there is no guarantee that such additional purchase will be made. Upon commencement, in consideration for its ownership position in the joint venture, the Company shall issue 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to Kings.
The Agreement has a 60-month term, which can be terminated at any time by mutual agreement following a consultation period of 120 days, or such other period as agreed by the parties. If applicable, the parties will honor their share of committed expenditures of the joint venture and King will repay the Company any unused brand funds.
Yorkville Transaction
On January 18, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of USD$3,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued upon signing the Securities Purchase Agreement and a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued on or about the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the notes effective (collectively, the First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”). These additional funds, together with those from the previously completed transactions we conducted with Yorkville between December 2020 and March 2021, account for an $8 million total Yorkville investment; as of the date hereof, $250,000 remains under the debentures previously issued to Yorkville pursuant thereto. The Company also issued Yorkville a warrant to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.12 per share and a warrant to purchase 4,285,714 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.14 per share. The warrants have a term of five (5) years and can be exercised via cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the applicable warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the applicable warrant shall be reduced to such lower price. The warrants also have the same ownership cap as set forth in the Convertible Debentures, as described below. The Company is also required to reserve no less than 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from incurring specified indebtedness, liens, except with the prior written consent from the holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of Convertible Debentures.

Maxim Group LLC received a cash placement agent fee of $230,000.
Covid-19
On March 19, 2020, we furloughed non-essential staff in response to governmental regulations relating to COVID. This decision primarily impacted staff at our fully owned subsidiary, Prodigy Textiles, in Vietnam and resulted in the temporary closing of silk rearing operations at that facility. As of the date hereof, we have resumed silk production operations at the factory in Vietnam. The Company supported its furloughed staff and paid their salaries during all mandatory closures. During the duration of the furlough, the Company’s CEO voluntarily waved the payment or accrual of his salary. The Company leveraged this forced closure time to improve its production infrastructure based on the lessons learned from its operations. After the mandated closure, the Company has enhanced its production operations with process automation, moved its production headquarters to a facility designed for silk production, created a more self-reliant supply chain, and established a microbiology laboratory in its factory for enhanced quality control. The global COVID pandemic and government regulations associated with the pandemic continue to evolve. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, including its potential effect on our plans and timelines.
Reverse Stock Split & Series A Voting Power
In 2019, in order to facilitate a proposed uplisting to a national exchange, our stockholders approved a possible reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock. However, the Board elected not to proceed with a reverse stock split. A significant factor in that decision was our ability to access financing as described above without having to expend time and money on the uplisting process.
The Product
Our products exploit the unique characteristics of spider silk, specifically dragline silk from Nephila clavipes (golden orb-web spider) and variants thereof. Such fibers possess unique mechanical properties in terms of strength, resilience and flexibility. Through the use of genetic engineering, we believe that we have produced a variety of unique transgenic silkworm strains that produce recombinant spider silk. Our recombinant spider silk fiber blends the silk proteins found in spider silk with the native silkworm silk proteins. This approach allows for the cost-effective and eco-responsible production of spider silk at commercial production levels.
Monster Silk®
Monster Silk® was the first recombinant spider silk fiber product we developed. Monster Silk incorporates the natural elasticity of spider silk to make a silk fiber which is more flexible that conventional silk fibers and textiles. We have produced sample products using Monster Silk® including knit fabrics, gloves, and shirts in collaboration with textile mills. We expect that Monster Silk® will have market applications across the traditional textile markets where its increased flexibility will provide increased durability and comfort.
Dragon SilkTM
Dragon SilkTM is the next evolution in recombinant spider silk, combining the elasticity of Monster Silk® with additional high strength elements of native spider silk. Some samples of Dragon SilkTM have demonstrated strength beyond that of native spider silk. This combination of strength and elasticity results in a silk fiber which is soft and flexible, yet tougher than leading synthetic fiber available on the market. Based on inquires we have received from end market leaders, we believe that Dragon SilkTM- will have applications in performance apparel, durable workwear, luxury goods and apparel, and composites.
Other Products
We are continuing to develop new recombinant silks and other protein-based fibers and materials using our genetic engineering capabilities. Our silkworm based knock-in knock-out production and development platform has significant advantages over our legacy technology which created Dragon Silk and Monster Silk. Chief among these is the potential to produce spider silks with greatly increased purity and performance. Due to the biocompatible and biodegradable properties of silk, we believe that the materials developed using this higher purity process will create opportunities for products in the medical industry, including sutures, grafts, and implants.
Our Technology
Our technology builds upon the unique advantages of the domesticated silkworm. The silkworm is an efficient commercial and industrial producer of protein based polymers, and forty percent (40%) of the caterpillars’ weight is devoted to the silk glands. The silk glands produce large amounts of an insoluble protein called fibroin, which the silkworm spins into a composite protein thread (silk).
We use our genetic engineering technology to create proprietary recombinant silk polymers from the silkworms. On September 29, 2010, we, along with our collaborators at Notre Dame created approximately twenty different strains of transgenic silkworm which produce recombinant silk polymers. In October of 2017, with the support of funding from the U.S. Army, we transitioned our research operations out of Notre Dame and into our own research and development headquarters.
Our transgenic silkworms are created by inserting the genes expressing spider silk with either natural or engineered amino acid sequences into the embryos of the silkworm. The spider silk sequence is introduced to the embryo of the silkworm and incorporated into the silkworm genome using state of the art molecular biology approaches. The spider sequence is created on a circular loop of DNA called a plasmid. We developed a method to alter the plasmid DNA to more readily allow the mixing and matching of various targeted traits including spider DNA genes, disease resistance, commercially marketable proteins and other physical properties. In this way, we can combine different genetic cassettes to create fibers and proteins with the desired chemical, physical, and mechanical properties more rapidly than through conventional methods.
In addition to this ability to easily mix and match DNA construction, we have also adapted new approaches to accelerate the rate we generate new transgenic silkworms. Our initial approaches limited us to process silkworm eggs at a rate of roughly 50-200 a day, however, we have developed approaches which allows us to process thousands of eggs a day. Utilizing both visual and non-visual genetic markers, we have successfully developed methods to speed up the screening of potentially transgenic silkworms, which allows for rapid screening of transgenic eggs. The eggs expressing the new spider silk constructs or other targeted properties are propagated while the eggs without the visual marker are discarded, greatly increasing the efficiency of our screen for transgenic eggs. This new approach has been highly effective in increasing the rate of development for new transgenics. We have employed this new procedure and have filed patent applications to protect its use.
We utilize the latest advancements in molecular biology and genetic engineering to deliver targeted gene incorporations. The new constructs are designed to integrate in the silkworm genome directly where the native silkworm silk is created. First made public in 2020, this capability is designed for the full knock out and knock in replacement of the native silkworm heavy chain silk protein. We believe that this increased expression and incorporation of the spider protein into the silkworm cocoon will lead to increased performance and open the door for additional opportunities beyond fibers and textiles.
Production of this material in commercial quantities holds the potential of a life-saving ballistic resistant material, which is lighter, thinner, more flexible, and tougher than steel. However, the Company does not currently have any life-saving ballistic products and could be some time before we are able to produce such a product from the material. Other applications for spider silk based recombinant fibers include use as structural material and for any application in which light weight and high strength are required. We believe that fibers made with recombinant protein-based polymers will make significant inroads into the specialty fiber and technical textile markets. Our interactions with manufacturers of high performance textiles, convince us that there is an eager commercial market for our innovative, sustainable, and differentiated technology and products.
Manufacturing
Our spider silk technology is designed for easy plug and play incorporation into the existing silk production model. We manufacture and plan to continue to manufacture our proprietary spider silk fibers using traditional silkworm production practices (sericulture).
In August 2019, we received authorization from Governmental authorities to begin rearing genetically enhanced silkworms at our production facility in Quang Nam, Vietnam. In October 2019, we delivered the first batch of these silkworms and began operations. These silkworms served as the basis for the commercial expansion of our proprietary silk technology. On November 4, 2019, we reported that we had successfully completed rearing the first batch of our transgenic silkworms at the Quang Nam factory. Seasonal challenges in late December 2019 slowed production operations and Governmental restrictions imposed due to the global COVID pandemic further delayed our operations in 2020. In January of 2021, we received the first shipment of silk from our factory in Vietnam. We believe that we will be able to target metric tons of capacity of our recombinant spider silk fiber per annum from this factory once it reaches maximum utilization. This capacity will allow us to address initial demand for our products and materials for various applications in the protective, performance, and luxury textile markets.
We contract with local farmers and farming cooperatives to provide fresh mulberry for our operations. Prodigy Textiles has also established its own mulberry rearing operations as part of our supply chain resilience program. Prodigy Textiles has hired local workers with experience in sericulture production to care for and raise our silkworms through the five instars, or stages, of the silkworm life cycle, including the final instar when the mature caterpillars produce a cocoon comprised of pure silk. These cocoons are then reeled to our specifications to form the final recombinant spider silk threads such as Dragon SilkTM and Monster Silk®.
By utilizing existing production methodology in traditional silk regions to produce our high performance materials, we leverage historical knowledge, available labor and existing capital infrastructure for production, spinning, and weaving of our recombinant spider silk materials. This approach reduces the risk to our manufacturing operations and decreases our need for upfront capital expenditure.
We believe that we will be able to target metric tons of capacity of recombinant spider silk fiber per annum from this factory once it reaches maximum utilization. This capacity will allow us to address our anticipated initial demand for applications in the protective, performance, and luxury textile markets.
Our long-term goal for Prodigy Textiles is to create a research center for development of our specialized silk, to contract with local farming cooperatives to grow upwards of 2,500 hectares of mulberry (which would allow for production of up to 250 metric tons of our high strength silk per year), and to serve as our principal manufacturing center. As of December 31, 2021 we are well on track to achieve this goal.
On March 19, 2020, we furloughed non-essential staff in response to governmental regulations relating to COVID. This decision primarily impacted staff at our fully owned subsidiary, Prodigy Textiles, in Vietnam and resulted in the temporary closing of silk rearing operations at that facility. As of the date hereof, we have resumed silk production operations at the factory in Vietnam. The Company supported its furloughed staff and paid their salaries during all mandatory closures. During the duration of the furlough, the Company’s CEO voluntarily waved the payment or accrual of his salary. The Company leveraged this forced closure time to improve its production infrastructure based on the lessons learned from its operations. After the mandated closure, the Company has enhanced its production operations with process automation, moved its production headquarters to a facility designed for silk production, created a more self-reliant supply chain, and established a microbiology laboratory in its factory for enhanced quality control.
The global COVID pandemic and government regulations associated with the pandemic continue to evolve. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, including its potential effect on our plans and timelines. See, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak.”
The Market
We are focusing our work on the creation of new fibers with unique properties including fibers with potential high performance and technical fiber applications for the performance fiber market. The performance fiber market is currently dominated by two classes of product: aramid fibers, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. These existing products serve the need for materials with high strength, resilience, but are unable to delivery flexibility. Because these synthetic performance fibers are stronger and tougher than steel, they are used in a wide variety of military, industrial, and consumer applications.
The military and police are among the users of performance fibers for its ballistic protection. The materials are also used for industrial applications requiring superior strength and toughness, e.g., critical cables and abrasion/impact resistant components. Performance fibers are also employed in safety equipment, high strength composite materials for the aero-space industry and for ballistic protection by the defense industry.
The global market for technical textiles was estimated at greater than $184 billion in 2020 and projected to reach $250 billion by 20271.
These are industrial materials which have become essential products for both industrial and consumer applications. The market for technical textiles can be defined as consisting of:
● Medical textiles;
● Geotextiles;
● Textiles used in Defense and Military;
● Safe and Protective Clothing;
● Filtration Textiles;
● Textiles used in Transportation;
● Textiles used in Buildings;
● Composites with Textile Structure; and,
● Functional and Sportive Textiles.

We believe that the superior mechanical characteristics of the next generation of protein-based polymers (in other words, genetically engineered silk fibers), will open up new applications for the technology. The materials which we are working to produce are many times tougher and stronger than steel.
We are actively pursuing relationships within target end markets to secure product collaborations with key market channel leaders. Due to the unique nature of our product, we received numerous unsolicited requests from leading businesses across a range of attractive end markets requesting materials for applications development. This substantial demand for spider silk materials across the broad spectrum of applications for high performance fibers and textiles, combined with the limited initial production capacity, has provided the opportunity to be selective in choosing market channel partners best able to quickly bring our product to market at scale. We are working under non-disclosure agreements to secure these collaborative development agreements and to establish limited channel exclusivity for firms we believe mirror our culture of innovation. In January 2021 the Company entered into a partnership and exclusive purchase agreement worth up to $40 million with M the Movement by Kings Group. This partnership will establish a jointly owned apparel and fashion brand headquarter in Singapore focuses on sales to the ASEAN region. With recent advancements in our manufacturing capacity, we expect to generate revenues from these relationships in 2022.
Research and Development
In 2007, we entered into the first series of the Notre Dame Agreements to develop new transgenic silkworms. In 2010, we achieved our longstanding goal of producing new silk fibers composed of recombinant proteins. In 2016, we received a contract from the U.S. Army to deliver the first samples of its recombinant spider silk materials. In 2017, this contract was expanded to include research into the development of stronger silk materials. As a result of that contract, the Company brought its research operations in-house, opening its own research laboratories and expanding its scientific staff. This transition to in-house operations has led to a series of new technical breakthroughs and is believed to have accelerated the pace of new development. We intend to turn its technology to the development and production of high performance polymers.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we have spent approximately 9,505 hours and 11,754 hours, respectively, on research and development activities, which consisted primarily of laboratory research on genetic engineering by our in-house research operations.
As of the date of this Report, our research and development efforts remain focused on growing our internal capabilities, but we may consider renewing funding of the collaborative research and development of high strength polymers with Notre Dame or other joint development opportunities; we have not had any formal discussions regarding any such collaborations.
We have initiated production of our recombinant materials including Monster Silk® and Dragon SilkTM. Additionally, we plan to accelerate both our microbiology and selective breeding programs, as well as providing more resources for their material and genetic testing protocols in 2022.
Our Intellectual Property Approach
Our intellectual property strategy utilizes a blended approach of licensed technologies and in-house developments. As part of our intellectual property portfolio, we have licensed the exclusive right to use certain patented gene splicing technologies for use in silkworm.
Under the Notre Dame Agreements, we were issued and exercised our right to exclusive commercial use for spider silk technologies developed under that agreement. We have worked collaboratively with the university to develop fibers with the mechanical characteristics of spider silk. We are applying this proprietary genetic engineering technology to domesticated silkworms, which to our knowledge, is the only proven commercially scaled system for producing silk.
In 2017, we opened a research and development facility to expand on the work conducted at Notre Dame. Since opening this new facility, we have expanded our intellectual property portfolio with six additional provisional patent filings based on new discoveries and inventions and made numerous advancements that have decreased the development time for new technologies, none of which rely on the patented material from our collaboration with Notre Dame. We will continue to utilize this in-house research facility to expand and strengthen its patent portfolio while also maintaining and growing its trade secret technologies approach to genetic advancement. We are actively working to develop and patent new approaches to the development of genetically engineering silkworms, underlying construction techniques, and fundamental genetic sequences for improved material performance.
The Notre Dame Agreements will last for the duration of the patented materials that we developed with Notre Dame. The new technologies that we are developing in our internal research labs does not rely on the Notre Dame patented materials and as a result will not be impacted by an expiration of those agreements.
The introduction of the gene sequence, in the manner employed by us, results in a germline transformation and is therefore self-perpetuating.
License Agreements/Intellectual Property
We have obtained certain rights to use a number of university created, and patented gene splicing and spider silk protein technologies.
As part of the joint development program with the University of Notre Dame and the Notre Dame Agreements, Kraig Labs negotiated an option for exclusive global commercial rights to technologies jointly developed with Notre Dame. Kraig Labs has exercised that option. As of the date of this filing, four patents relating to the jointly developed technologies have been issued, number 10-1926286 in South Korea, number 2011314072 in Australia, number 26612 in Vietnam, and number 2,812,791 in Canada. These jurisdictions are a mix of silk producing and consuming countries. We believe protecting our technologies in these countries will be beneficial to our future operations.
In addition to the patents related to licensed technologies from Notre Dame listed above, Kraig Labs has filed a number of patent applications and provisional applications based on technologies developed solely within the Company’s own laboratories. Kraig has filed two such patent applications and four provisional patent applications based on technologies developed and discoveries from our own independent research operations.

Notre Dame Agreements
As discussed above, in 2007 we entered into the first series of Notre Dame Agreements. We provided financial support to ongoing research and development of transgenic silkworms and the creation of recombinant silk fibers. In exchange, we have an option to obtain the exclusive global commercialization rights to the technology developed pursuant to the research effort.
Following the first agreement, we entered into successive intellectual property and collaborative research agreements with Notre Dame to provide different levels of financial support. The trend had been for an increase in financial support for the research and development in nearly every successive agreement. In June 2012, we entered into an Intellectual Property / Collaborative Research Agreement with Notre Dame (“2012 Notre Dame Research Agreement”). On March 4, 2015, we entered into a new Intellectual Property / Collaborative Research Agreement with Notre Dame extending the agreement through March 2016 (“2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement”). Under the 2015 Notre Dame Research agreement, the Company provided approximately $534,000 in financial support. On September 20, 2015, the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement was amended to increase the total funding by approximately $179,000; in February 2016, the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement was extended to July 31, 2016 and in August 2016, the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement was extended to December 31, 2016. In May 2017, the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement was amended to increase the total funding by approximately $189,000 and the duration of the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement was extended to September 30, 2017. With the funding we received from the U.S. Army, we were able to conduct our research and development in-house, at less cost, and therefore we did not extend the 2015 Notre Dame Research Agreement after September 30, 2017, but in the future we may consider forming new collaborative research agreements.
In 2011, we exercised our option to obtain the global commercialization rights to the technology developed under the Notre Dame Agreements, which resulted in a separate license agreement with Notre Dame (the “2011 Notre Dame Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2011 Notre Dame Agreement, Notre Dame filed an international patent application and numerous national patent applications on technology relating to the creation and use of recombinant spider silks and we received exclusive and non-exclusive rights to certain spider silk and gene splicing technologies including commercial rights with the right to sublicense such intellectual property. The 2011 Notre Dame Agreement obligates us to reimburse Notre Dame for costs associated with the filing, prosecuting and maintaining of such patents and patent applications. In exchange for the rights to commercialization, Notre Dame has received 2,200,000 shares of our Common Stock and we have agreed to pay Notre Dame royalties equal to 2% of our gross sales of the licensed products and 10% of any sublicensing fees received by the Company on licensed technology. We have also agreed to pay to Notre Dame $50,000 a year, which will be reduced from the total amount of royalties paid in the same year. The $50,000 payment to Notre Dame is not owed for any year in which the Company is sponsoring research within Notre Dame.
Cooperative Agreement in Vietnam
On December 30, 2015, we entered into a cooperative agreement with a provincial government office in Vietnam for the research and pilot production of hybrid silkworms. In April 2018, we received our investment registration certificate for our facility in Vietnam. Later that month the Company was issued its ERC so that it could begin operations in Vietnam. We have established a subsidiary in Vietnam which is currently producing our recombinant spider silk in small quantities. Management believes the ERC puts the Company on a path to scale at a much greater level by harnessing existing silk production infrastructure with the capacity to match the existing demand for their spider silk materials.
Other Agreements
On October 15, 2013, we entered into an intellectual property agreement with a scientific researcher relating to the development of new recombinant silk fibers. Under the terms of that agreement, the scientific researcher transferred his rights of intellectual property, inventions and trade secrets which the researcher develops relating to recombinant silk to us. Upon signing, the researcher received 8,000,000 common stock purchase warrants from the Company, exercisable 24 months from the date of the agreement. As per the terms of the agreement, the researcher received an additional 10,000,000 warrants after creating a new recombinant silk fiber for us that met specified performance characteristics and another 8,000,000 warrants for performing the contract in good faith. The warrants described above all contain a cashless exercise provision and are exercisable on the 24-month anniversary of the date on which they were issuable under the agreement.
Governmental Regulations
We are subject to U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as Vietnam central, provisional, and district laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern, among other things, labor relations, the labeling and safety of the products we sell, the methods we use to sell these products and/or the production of the products we sell. We believe that we are in material compliance with all such applicable laws and regulations, although no assurance can be provided that this will remain true in the future.
Environment
Kraig Labs is fully committed to its vision of bringing spider silk technologies to commercial markets while maintaining the highest levels of environmental responsibility. We believe our technology, built on a renewable resource, has a positive environmental impact and offers significant benefits over competing synthetic textiles. Our production system is derived from nature and does not use any petrochemicals as an input into our fibers.
We seek to comply with and exceed all applicable statutory and administrative requirements concerning environmental quality. Expenditures for compliance with federal state and local environmental laws have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on our capital expenditures, results of operations or competitive position.
While being environmentally conscious is the objective of all producers in this industry, the fermentation process used by our competitors produces high levels of carbon dioxide. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and is argued to be the leading cause of global warming. In stark contrast, Kraig Labs’ mulberry trees and the silk from silkworms have proven to be effective at sequestering carbon dioxide and are renewable resources. Mulberry trees are also very low maintenance, while still providing essential global green-cover and significantly help in reducing soil erosion in areas.
In addition to climate impacts of the fermentation approach, solvents typically used to wet-spin fibers can have significant environmental impacts. DMSO, a common wet-spinning solvent, can be absorbed directly through human skin, carrying with it potentially dangerous side effects. This is another reason we pride ourselves on the use of silkworms, which do not require the use of DMSO, to produce our products.
Competition
We compete directly with numerous other companies with similar product lines and/or distribution that have extensive capital, resources, market share, and brand recognition.
There are presently three primary competitors that we face in our industry, but there are few barriers to entry in our industry. This creates the strong possibility of new competitors emerging, and of others succeeding in developing the same or similar fibers for application that we are trying to develop. The effects of this increased competition may be materially adverse to us and our stockholders. As this is an emergent industry there is no one producer that has captured a significant portion of the market. Bolt Threads, Inc. based in California and Spiber Inc. based in Japan are competitors which have raised the largest amounts of investment capital to date. We also compete with AMSilk, which is based in Germany. We believe that our technology offers more cost-effective methods with lower environmental impact than technologies used by our identified competitors, however, new technologies could be developed that remove this advantage.
These competitors have raised and spent 100’s of millions of dollars in pursuit of the same results that we have achieved, but through different and more complex means. The Company believes that its competitors will continue to overspend while struggling to deliver the results that we have been able to achieve utilizing the existing global infrastructure.
Based on our research and internal assessments, the following chart illustrates why we believe we have a competitive advantage over our three main, known competitors:
Employees
The Company currently employs between 9-11 people at its U.S. facilities, 8 full-time and up to 3 part-time, including Kim Thompson, our officer and sole director and Jonathan R. Rice, our Chief Operating Officer. The Company employs between 8-30 full time personnel at its Vietnamese subsidiary depending on the production cycle. We plan to hire more persons on as-needed basis.

Sale of Unregistered Securities
Information regarding any equity securities we have sold during the period covered by this Report that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended is set forth below. Each such transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC, unless otherwise noted. Unless stated otherwise: (i) the securities were offered and sold only to accredited investors; (ii) there was no general solicitation or general advertising related to the offerings; (iii) each of the persons who received these unregistered securities had knowledge and experience in financial and business matters which allowed them to evaluate the merits and risk of the receipt of these securities, and that they were knowledgeable about our operations and financial condition; (iv) no underwriter participated in, nor did we pay any commissions or fees to any underwriter in connection with the transactions; and, (v) each certificate issued for these unregistered securities contained a legend stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on the transferability and the sale of the securities.
On March 9, 2019, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with one investor (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the investor 14,797,278 Units at a purchase price of $0.06758 per Unit, for total gross proceeds to the Company of $1,000,000. The Units consist of 14,797,278 shares of the Company’s common stock and two warrants (the “Warrants”): (i) one warrant entitles the investor to purchase up to 14,797,278 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.06 per share (the “6 Cent Warrants”) and (ii) one warrant entitles the investor to purchase up to 7,398,639 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per share (the “8 Cent Warrant”). The securities sold in the private placement were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Regulation S”). The bases for the availability of this exemption include the facts that the sales of the securities were made to a non-U.S. person (as defined under Rule 902 section (k)(2)(i) of Regulation S), pursuant to an offshore transaction, and no directed selling efforts were made in the United States by the issuer, a distributor, any of their respective affiliates, or any person acting on behalf of any of the foregoing.
On July 30, 2020, the Company issued 9,941,623 shares of common stock in connection with the cashless exercise of 10,000,000 warrants.
On December 11, 2020, the Company issued a $1,000,000, thirteen-month (13), unsecured, convertible note, which was due and paid on January 11, 2022. The convertible note had an interest at 10%, with a 5% original issue discount ($50,000), resulting in net proceeds of $950,000. The note contained a discount to market feature, whereby, the lender was able to purchase stock at 90% of the lowest trading price for a period of ten (10) days preceding the conversion date. As a result, we issued approximately 15,000,000 shares. Additionally, the Company issued 3,125,000 five-year (5) warrants to the note holder. The warrants had a fair value of $2,599,066, based upon using a black-scholes option pricing model.
On March 2, 2021, the Company issued 1,479,728 shares of Common Stock in exchange for $88,783.68, per the terms of a cash stock warrant exercise.
On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of USD$4,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business day following the initial closing, a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business day following the satisfaction of conditions for a second closing and a secured convertible debenture (the “Third Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture and the Second Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Third Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business day following satisfaction of conditions for a third closing (the first closing, second closing and third closing are each referred to as a “Closing” or collectively as the “Closings) and (collectively, the First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price, the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Third Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”).
Each Convertible Debenture shall mature twelve (12) months after the date of issuance and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The principal must be paid in cash, but the Company has the right to extend the maturity date by 30 days, during which time interest will continue to accrue, upon written notice of same to the holder. Interest shall be provided in cash, unless certain conditions as specified in the Convertible Debenture are satisfied, in which case the company has the right to pay interest in shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion price on the trading day immediately prior to the pay date. The debenture holder may convert each Convertible Debenture into shares of common stock at any time after issuance at a price equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date they convert the debenture; provided, however if the Company’s Common Stock is uplisted to the Nasdaq, the conversion price shall not be less than 20% of the conversion price used in the first conversion thereunder. The debenture holder may not convert the Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest, unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”).
The Company held the first closing on March 25, 2021 and contemporaneously therewith, the Company issued Yorkville a warrant (the “Yorkville Warrant”) to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Yorkville Warrant has a term of five (5) years and is initially exercisable at $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment and can be exercise via cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the exercise price, the exercise price shall be reduced to such lower price. The Yorkville Warrant also has the same Ownership Cap as set forth in the Convertible Debenture.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock underling the Debentures and the Yorkville Warrant.
Following fulfillment of the requirements in the Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 6, 2021, the Company issued the Second Convertible Debenture to Yorkville in the amount of $500,000.

On January 18, 2022, we entered into another securities purchase agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of USD$3,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued upon signing the Securities Purchase Agreement and a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued on or about the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the notes effective (collectively, the First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”). These additional funds, together with those from the previously completed transactions we conducted with Yorkville between December 2020 and March 2021, account for an $8 million total Yorkville investment; as of the date hereof, $250,000 remains under the debentures previously issued to Yorkville pursuant thereto. The Company also issued Yorkville a warrant to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.12 per share and a warrant to purchase 4,285,714 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.14 per share. The warrants have a term of five (5) years and can be exercised via cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the applicable warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the applicable warrant shall be reduced to such lower price. The warrants also have the same ownership cap as set forth in the Convertible Debentures, as described below. The Company is also required to reserve no less than 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from incurring specified indebtedness, liens, except with the prior written consent from the holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of Convertible Debentures.
Each Convertible Debenture shall mature thirteen (13) months after the date of issuance, unless extended by the Yorkville, and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Principal, interest and any other payments due under the Convertible Debentures shall be paid in cash. The debenture holder may convert all or part of the Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock at any time after issuance at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination. The debenture holder may not convert the Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest, unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”). The Company also has the option to redeem, in part or in whole, the outstanding principal and interest under a Convertible Debenture prior to the maturity date. The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal and interest amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal amount. Standard events of default are included in the Convertible Debenture, pursuant to which the holder may declare it immediately due and payable. During an event of default, the interest rate shall increase to 15% per annum until the event of default is cured; the holder also has the right to convert the Convertible Debenture into shares of common stock during an event of default.
The Convertible Debentures are secured by all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to (i) that certain amended and restated security agreement by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries (all such security agreements shall be referred to as the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries agree to provide Yorkville a security interest in all personal property of the Prodigy Textiles, the Company’s subsidiary organized under the laws of Vietnam (“Prodigy”), (ii) the amended and restated intellectual property security agreement by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries referenced therein dated January 18, 2022 (all such security agreements shall be referred to as the “IP Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries agree to provide Yorkville a security interest in the intellectual property collateral (as this term is defined in the IP Security Agreement), and (iii) the amended and restated global guaranty by and between Prodigy, in favor of Yorkville, with respect to all of the Company’s obligations to Yorkville dated as of January 18, 2022 (the “Guaranty” and collectively with the Security Agreement and the IP Security Agreement shall be referred to as the “Security Documents”). Pursuant to the Guaranty, Prodigy guarantees the payment and performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the Convertible Debentures, Warrants and related transaction documents.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures and warrants and with respect to subsequent registration statements, if any, such number of shares of Common Stock as requested by Yorkville not to exceed 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Convertible Debentures then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) such Convertible Debentures are convertible at the then current conversion price and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures set forth therein, in each case subject to any cutbacks set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Upon signing the letter of intent for the Yorkville Transaction, the Company paid $10,000 to an affiliate of Yorkville, for due diligence and structuring.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties contained in this report and the other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
The following section reflects management’s views on the financial condition as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. This section is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. Kraig Labs was organized to develop high strength fibers using recombinant DNA technology for commercial applications in technical textile. We use genetically engineered silkworms that produce spider silk proteins to create our recombinant spider silk. Applications include performance apparel, workwear, filtration, luxury fashion, flexible composites, medical implants, cosmetics and more. We believe that we have been a leader in the research and development of commercially scalable and cost effective spider silk for technical textile and non-fibrous applications. Our primary proprietary fiber technology includes natural and engineered variants of spider silk produced in domesticated mulberry silkworms. Our business brings twenty-first century biotechnology to the historical silk industry, permitting us to introduce materials with innovative properties and claims into an established commercial ecosystem of silkworm rearing, silk spinning and weaving, and manufacture of garments and other products that can include our specialty fibers and textiles. Specialty fibers are engineered for specific uses that require exceptional strength, flexibility, heat resistance and/or chemical resistance. The specialty fiber market is exemplified by two synthetic fiber products that come from petroleum derivatives: (1) aramid fibers; and (2) ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. The technical textile industry involves products for both industrial and consumer products, such as filtration fabrics, medical textiles (e.g., sutures and artificial ligaments), safety and protective clothing and fabrics used in military and aerospace applications (e.g., high-strength composite materials).
We are using genetic engineering technologies to develop fibers with greater strength, resiliency and flexibility for use in our target markets, namely the specialty fiber and technical textile industries.
In 2020, we developed a new technology platform, based on a non-CRISPR Cas9 gene editing knock-in knock-out technology. This is our first knock-in knock-out technology which we are now using for the development of advanced materials. This system is built on our eco-friendly and cost-effective silkworm production system, which we believe is more advanced than current competing methods. Knock-in knock-out technology allows for the targeting of specific locations and genetic traits for modification, addition, and removal. This capability should allow us to accelerate new product developments and bring products to market more quickly. This capability also allows for genetic trait modifications that were previously impractical, creating opportunities for products outside of silk fibers and increased flexibility in production location.
Based on our internal analysis, management believes that this new platform technology will allow us to outpace and surpass Dragon Silk, a fiber that we developed with our previous tools. Samples of Dragon Silk have already demonstrated to be tougher than many fibers used in bullet proof vests. We expect that this new approach will yield materials beyond those capabilities based upon its potential for significantly improved purity.
In August 2019, we received authorization from governmental authorities to begin rearing genetically enhanced silkworms at our production facility in Vietnam. In October 2019, the Company delivered the first batch of these silkworms and began operations. These silkworms served as the basis for the commercial expansion of our proprietary silk technology. On November 4, 2019, we reported that we had successfully completed rearing the first batch of its transgenic silkworms at the Quang Nam production factory. Seasonal challenges in late December 2019 slowed production operations and governmental restrictions imposed due to the global COVID pandemic further delayed our operations in 2020. In January of 2021 we received the first shipment of silk from our factory in Vietnam. We believe that we will be able to target metric tons of capacity of our recombinant spider silk fiber per annum from this factory once it reaches maximum utilization. This capacity will allow us to address initial demand for our products and materials for various applications in the protective, performance, and luxury textile markets.
On November 23, 2020, we entered into a Strategic Partnership Agreement (the “SPA”) with Mthemovement Kings Pte Ltd (“Kings”). Kings is an eco-friendly luxury streetwear apparel line, part of the Kings Group of Companies and its affiliated companies. On January 25, 2021, the parties exchanged signatures for an amendment to the Agreement, which amended the procedures for termination of the SPA to only allow for the termination of the SPA by mutual agreement of the Company and Kings following a consultation period of 120 (one hundred and twenty) calendar days or such period as agreed otherwise between the parties (the “Amendment,” together with the SPA, the “Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties formed a joint venture, Spydasilk Enterprises Pte. Ltd., to develop and sell the Company’s spider silk fibers under the new innovative apparel and fashion brand, trade named SpydaSilk™ and potential other trademarks to be announced. All intellectual property related to SpydaSilk™ will be jointly owned by the Company and Kings.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company granted the joint venture and the SpydaSilk brand an exclusive geographic license to all the Company’s technologies for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, in exchange for a 4-year firm commitment to purchase up to $32 million of the Company’s raw recombinant spider silk over the 4-year period, with an initial payment of $250,000 to the Company. Kings is projected to purchase an additional $8 million of material in the fourth year, but there is no guarantee that such additional purchase will be made.
In consideration for its ownership position in the joint venture, the Company shall issue 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to Kings. The Agreement has a 60-month term, which can be terminated at any time by mutual agreement following a consultation period of 120 days, or such other period as agreed by the parties. If applicable, the parties will honor their share of committed expenditures of the joint venture and King will repay the Company any unused brand funds.
Experiencing our strongest cash position to date, we plan to expand production, expand product offering and accelerate R&D on near term products.
The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to our financial statements as of December 31, 2021 includes an explanatory paragraph stating that our net loss from operations and net capital deficiency at December 31, 2021 raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Plan of Operations
During the next twelve months, we expect to take the following steps in connection with the further development of our business and the implementation of our plan of operations:
● We plan to develop a line of fabrics and apparel under a joint venture with Kings to create a line of fashion wear under Spydasilk Enterprises Pte. Ltd., with trade names including SpydasilkTM, SpydraTM and others.
● We plan to continue the expansion of our production operations at our facilities in Quang Nam, Vietnam in accordance with our investment and enterprise registration certificates, including the planting of additional mulberry fields in collaboration with local farming cooperatives and the hiring of additional direct staff for our factory, as needed.
● We plan to accelerate both our microbiology and selective breeding programs, as well as provide more resources for our material testing protocols. We spent approximately $383,900 over the last 12 months on research and development of high strength polymers. In 2021, we directed our research and development efforts on growing our internal capabilities; we plan to continue to dedicate our efforts in 2022 to grow our internal research and development programs.
● We will consider buying an established revenue producing company in a compatible business, in order to broaden our financial base and facilitate the commercialization of our products; as of the date hereof, we have not had any formal discussion or entered into any definitive agreements regarding any such purchase.
● We will also actively consider pursuing collaborative research opportunities with private laboratories in areas of research which overlap the company’s existing research and development. One such potential area for collaborative research which the company is considering is protein expression platforms. If our financing allows, management will strongly consider increasing the breadth of our research to include protein expression platform technologies.
● We plan to actively pursue collaborative research and product testing opportunities with companies in the biotechnology, materials, textile and other industries.
● We plan to actively pursue additional collaborative commercialization, marketing and manufacturing opportunities with companies in the textile and material sectors for the fibers we developed and for any new polymers that we create in 2022 and going forward.
● We plan to actively pursue the development of commercial scale production of our recombinant materials including Monster Silk®, Dragon SilkTM, SpydasilkTM, and SpydraTM
● We have initiated and plan to accelerate our efforts for large scale U.S. production. This work will include the research and possible production of a new transgenic tailored specifically domestic production.
Limited Operating History
We have not previously demonstrated that we will be able to expand our business through an increased investment in our research and development efforts. We cannot guarantee that the research and development efforts described in this filing will be successful. Our business is subject to risks inherent in growing an enterprise, including limited capital resources, risks inherent in the research and development process and possible rejection of our products in development.
If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our research and development and other operations. Equity financing will result in dilution to existing stockholders.

Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and businesses. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While the closures and limitations on movement, domestically and internationally, are expected to be temporary, if the outbreak continues the duration of the supply chain disruption could reduce the availability, or result in delays, of materials or supplies to and from the Company, which in turn could materially interrupt the Company’s business operations. Given the speed and frequency of the continuously evolving developments with respect to this pandemic, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the magnitude of the impact to its consolidated results of operations. We have taken every known precaution possible to ensure the safety of our employees.
On March 19, 2020, we furloughed non-essential staff in response to governmental regulations relating to COVID. This decision primarily impacted staff at our fully owned subsidiary, Prodigy Textiles, in Vietnam and resulted in the temporary closing of silk rearing operations at that facility. As of the date hereof, we have resumed silk production operations at the factory in Vietnam. The Company supported its furloughed staff and paid their salaries during all mandatory closures. During the duration of the furlough, the Company’s CEO voluntarily waved the payment or accrual of his salary. The Company leveraged this forced closure time to improve its production infrastructure based on the lessons learned from its operations. After the mandated closure, the Company has enhanced its production operations with process automation, moved its production headquarters to a facility designed for silk production, created a more self-reliant supply chain, and established a microbiology laboratory in its factory for enhanced quality control. On October 24, 2020, silk production operations at the factory resumed.
The global COVID pandemic and government regulations associated with the pandemic continue to evolve. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, including its potential effect on our plans and timelines. The actions of governments in response to COVID, both domestic and foreign, have impacted our ability to transport goods, people, essential equipment, and other items essential to our production. In turn, these restrictions are impacting our ability to produce intermediate and end products and are delaying our timelines for commercialization and revenue.
Additionally, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions, including losses on inventory; impairment losses related to goodwill and other long-lived assets and current obligations.
Note Financing
December
On December 11, 2020, the Company issued a $1,000,000, thirteen-month (13), unsecured, convertible note, which was due and paid on January 11, 2022. The convertible note had an interest at 10%, with a 5% original issue discount ($50,000), resulting in net proceeds of $950,000. The note contained a discount to market feature, whereby, the lender was able to purchase stock at 90% of the lowest trading price for a period of ten (10) days preceding the conversion date. As a result, we issued approximately 15,000,000 shares upon conversion of the note. Additionally, the Company issued 3,125,000 five-year (5) warrants to the note holder. The warrants had a fair value of $2,599,066, based upon using a black-scholes option pricing model.
March
On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of USD$4,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business day following the initial closing, a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business day following the satisfaction of conditions for a second closing and a secured convertible debenture (the “Third Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture and the Second Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Third Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued within 1 business day following satisfaction of conditions for a third closing (the first closing, second closing and third closing are each referred to as a “Closing” or collectively as the “Closings) and (collectively, the First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price, the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Third Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”).
Each Convertible Debenture shall mature twelve (12) months after the date of issuance and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The principal must be paid in cash, but the Company has the right to extend the maturity date by 30 days, during which time interest will continue to accrue, upon written notice of same to the holder. Interest shall be provided in cash, unless certain conditions as specified in the Convertible Debenture are satisfied, in which case the company has the right to pay interest in shares of common stock at the then applicable conversion price on the trading day immediately prior to the pay date. The debenture holder may convert each Convertible Debenture into shares of common stock at any time after issuance at a price equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date they convert the debenture; provided, however if the Company’s Common Stock is uplisted to the Nasdaq, the conversion price shall not be less than 20% of the conversion price used in the first conversion thereunder. The debenture holder may not convert the Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest, unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”).
The Company held the first closing on March 25, 2021 and contemporaneously therewith, the Company issued Yorkville a warrant (the “Yorkville Warrant”) to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”). The Yorkville Warrant has a term of five (5) years and is initially exercisable at $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment and can be exercise via cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the exercise price, the exercise price shall be reduced to such lower price. The Yorkville Warrant also has the same Ownership Cap as set forth in the Convertible Debenture.
In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of common stock underling the Debentures and the Yorkville Warrant.
Following fulfillment of the requirements in the Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 6, 2021, the Company issued the Second Convertible Debenture to Yorkville in the amount of $500,000.
Following fulfillment of the requirements in the Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 22, 2021, the Company issued the Third Convertible Debenture to Yorkville in the amount of $3,000,000.
As of February 16, 2022, all of the Convertible Debentures issued pursuant to the Security Purchase Agreement signed with Yorkville on March 25, 2021 have been converted and there is no remaining balance.
January
On January 18, 2022, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with YA II PN, LTD., a Cayman Islands exempt company (“Yorkville”), pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of USD$3,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued upon signing the Securities Purchase Agreement and a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price”) shall be issued on or about the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the notes effective (collectively, the First Convertible Debenture Purchase Price and the Second Convertible Debenture Purchase Price shall collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price”) (the “Yorkville Transaction”). These additional funds, together with those from the previously completed transactions we conducted with Yorkville between December 2020 and March 2021, account for an $8 million total Yorkville investment; as of the date hereof, $250,000 remains under the debentures previously issued to Yorkville pursuant thereto. The Company also issued Yorkville a warrant to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.12 per share and a warrant to purchase 4,285,714 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.14 per share. The warrants have a term of five (5) years and can be exercised via cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the applicable warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the applicable warrant shall be reduced to such lower price. The warrants also have the same ownership cap as set forth in the Convertible Debentures, as described below. The Company is also required to reserve no less than 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from incurring specified indebtedness, liens, except with the prior written consent from the holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of Convertible Debentures.
Each Convertible Debenture shall mature thirteen (13) months after the date of issuance, unless extended by the Yorkville, and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Principal, interest and any other payments due under the Convertible Debentures shall be paid in cash. The debenture holder may convert all or part of the Convertible Debentures into shares of common stock at any time after issuance at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination. The debenture holder may not convert the Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest, unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”). The Company also has the option to redeem, in part or in whole, the outstanding principal and interest under a Convertible Debenture prior to the maturity date. The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal and interest amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal amount. Standard events of default are included in the Convertible Debenture, pursuant to which the holder may declare it immediately due and payable. During an event of default, the interest rate shall increase to 15% per annum until the event of default is cured; the holder also has the right to convert the Convertible Debenture into shares of common stock during an event of default.

Net Revenues: During the year ended December 31, 2021, we realized $0 of revenues from our business. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we realized $0 of revenues from our business. Accordingly, there was no change in revenues between the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Research and development expenses: During year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred $197,745 research and development expenses. During year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $88,4700 of research and development expenses, an increase of $109,275 or 123.52% compared with the same period in 2020. The research and development expenses are attributable to the research and development with the Notre Dame University; the decrease was due to the timing of research related activity and costs by insources the Company’s research operations.
Professional Fees: During year ended December 31, 2021, we incurred $326,982 professional expenses, which decreased by $70,745 or 17.79% from $397,727 for year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in professional fees expense was attributable to decreased expenses related to investor relations services during year ended December 31, 2021.
Officers Salary: During year ended December 31, 2021, officers’ salary expenses increased to $734,427 or 42.24% compared to $516,332 for year ended December 31, 2020. The increase is due to the Company’s staff having been furloughed from March 19, 2020 - June 30, 2020, due to the COVID pandemic, during which the CEO also did not receive or accrue any salary.
General and Administrative Expense: General and administrative expenses decreased by $2,021,802 or 57.46% to $1,496,725 for year ended December 31, 2021 from $3,518,527 for year ended December 31, 2020. Our general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2021 consisted of other general and administrative expenses (which includes expenses such as Auto, Business Development, SEC Filing, Investor Relations, General Office, warrant Compensation) of $856,158, Travel of $13,957, office salary of $266,190 for a total of $1,496,725. Our general and administrative expenses for year ended December 31, 2020 consisted of other general and administrative expenses (which includes expenses such as Auto, Business Development, SEC Filing, Investor Relations, General Office, warrant Compensation) of $3,177,652 Travel of $29,528, office salary of $311,347 for a total of $3,518,527. The primary reason for the decrease in general and administrative expenses comparing the year ended December 31, 2021 to the corresponding period for 2020 was mainly due to general business expenses and warrants issuances for services.
Rent - Related Party: During the year ended December 31 2021, rent-related party expense decreased to $3,683 or 71.87% compared to $13,092 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The rent-related party expense was attributable to the Company signing an eight-year property lease with the Company’s President on January 23, 2017. On April 5, 2021, the Company ended this lease agreement with its President.
Net Change in Unrealized Depreciation on Investment in Gold Bullion: Net change in unrealized depreciation on investment in gold bullion decreased by $13,004 to $13,004 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a net change in unrealized depreciation on investment in gold bullion.
Interest Expense: Interest expense increased to $660,419, or 70.82% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $386,624 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to interest on the related party loans and accounts payable and accrued expenses to the related parties.
Amortization of original issue and debt discounts: Amortization of original issue and debt discount increased to $4,702,918, or 9,211.79% for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $50,505 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to amortization of original issue and debt discounts on convertible loans.
Net Loss: Net loss increased by $3,074,526, or 61.85%, to a net loss of $8,045,803 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from a net loss of $4,971,277 for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in net loss was driven primarily by increased in warrant compensation, amortization of original issue discount and professional fees.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we have a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As presented in the financial statements, we incurred a net loss of $8,045,803 during the year ended December 31, 2021, and losses are expected to continue in the near term. The accumulated deficit is $42,814,986 at December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 2 for our discussion of stockholder deficit. We have been funding our operations through private loans and the sale of common stock in private placement transactions. Refer to Note 6 and Note 7 in the financial statements for our discussion of notes payable and shares issued, respectively. Our cash resources are insufficient to meet our planned business objectives without additional financing. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of our company to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to develop and expand our business before significant positive operating cash flows can be achieved. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and profitable operations. At December 31, 2021, we had $2,355,060 of cash on hand. These funds are insufficient to complete our business plan and as a consequence, we will need to seek additional funds, primarily through the issuance of debt or equity securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. 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 stockholders, in the case of equity financing.
Management has undertaken steps as part of a plan to improve operations with the goal of sustaining our operations for the next twelve months and beyond. These steps include (a) raising additional capital and/or obtaining financing; (b) controlling overhead and expenses; and (c) executing material sales or research contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully accomplish these steps and it is uncertain that the Company will achieve a profitable level of operations and obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any additional financing will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if at all. As of the date of this Report, we have not entered into any formal agreements regarding the above.
In the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern, the Company may elect or be required to seek protection from its creditors by filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or may be subject to an involuntary petition in bankruptcy. To date, management has not considered this alternative, nor does management view it as a likely occurrence.
Cash, total current assets, total assets, total current liabilities and total liabilities as of December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020, were as follows:

Current liabilities increased to $8,162,646 at December 31, 2021 from $7,450,794 at December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of primarily as a result of accounts payable and accrued compensation - related party, and convertible note payable.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, and revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 of our financial statements. While all these significant accounting policies impact its financial condition and results of operations, we view certain of these policies as critical. Policies determined to be critical are those policies that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Our management believes that given current facts and circumstances, it is unlikely that applying any other reasonable judgments or estimate methodologies would cause effect on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity for the periods presented in this report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, have been released in November 2018 (2018-19), November 2019 (2019-10 and 2019-11) and a January 2020 Update (2020-02) that provided additional guidance on this Topic. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For SEC filers meeting certain criteria, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. For SEC filers that meet the criteria of a smaller reporting company (including this Company) and for non-SEC registrant public companies and other organizations, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of its analysis of the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance, among other provisions, eliminates certain exceptions to existing guidance related to the approach for intra period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in its effective income tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation, aligning the timing of recognition of the effects from enacted tax law changes on the effective income tax rate with the effects on deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Under existing guidance, an entity recognizes the effects of the enacted tax law change on the effective income tax rate in the period that includes the effective date of the tax law. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, to reduce complexity in applying U.S. GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB .
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company issues stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation.
Auditing management’s calculation of the fair value of stock-based compensation can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on various inputs to the calculation.
To evaluate the appropriateness of the fair value determined by management, we examined and evaluated the inputs management used in calculating the fair value of the stock-based compensation.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION
(A) Ogranization
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. The Company was organized to develop high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries.
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on April 25, 2006. The Company was organized to develop high strength, protein based fiber, using recombinant DNA technology, for commercial applications in the textile and specialty fiber industries.
On March 5, 2018, the Company issued a board resolution authorizing investment in a Vietnamese subsidiary and appointing a representative for the subsidiary.
On April 24, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its investment registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd.
On May 1, 2018, the Company announced that it had received its enterprise registration certificate for its new Vietnamese subsidiary Prodigy Textiles Co., Ltd.
Foreign Currency
The assets and liabilities of Prodigy Textiles, Co., Ltd. (the Company’s Vietnamese subsidiary) whose functional currency is the Vietnamese Dong, are translated into US dollars at period-end exchange rates prior to consolidation. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. The adjustments resulting from translating the Company’s financial statements are reflected as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized in net earnings based on differences between foreign exchange rates on the transaction date and settlement date.
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
For the purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 260, “Earnings per Share.” For December 31, 2021 and 2020, warrants were not included in the computation of income/ (loss) per share because their inclusion is anti-dilutive.
The computation of basic and diluted loss per share for December 31, 2021 and 2020 excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
SCHEDULE OF ANTIDILUTIVE SECURITIES OF EARNINGS PER SHARE
December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020
Stock Warrants (Exercise price - $0.001- $0.25/share) 48,972,277 49,120,917
Stock Options (Exercise price - $0.1150/Share) 26,802,500 27,340,000
Convertible Debt 6,470,674 -
Convertible Preferred Stock
Total 82,245,453 76,460,919
Research and Development Costs
The Company expenses all research and development costs as incurred for which there is no alternative future use. These costs also include the expensing of employee compensation and employee stock based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC No. 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC No. 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The net deferred tax liability in the accompanying balance sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:
SCHEDULE OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Expected income tax (recovery) expense at the statutory rate of 21% $ (1,689,619 ) $ (1,043,948 )
Tax effect of expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes (net of other amounts deductible for tax purposes) 1,141,619 608,152
Change in valuation allowance 548,000 435,795
Provision for income taxes $ - $ -
The components of deferred income taxes are as follows:

Valuation allowance (4,343,336 ) (3,815,336 )
Net deferred tax asset - -
Net deferred tax liability $ - $ -
The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carryforwards before they will expire through the year 2041.
The net change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was an increase of $548,000 and $435,795, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation for employees and directors in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation costs are measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and are recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The fair value of the Company’s common stock options are estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: expected volatility, dividend rate, risk free interest rate and the expected life. The Company expenses stock-based compensation by using the straight-line method. In accordance with ASC 718 and, excess tax benefits realized from the exercise of stock-based awards are classified as cash flows from operating activities. All excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividends on share-based payment awards) are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services, as prescribed by ASC 718-10, at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASU 2018-07.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of ASU’s to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s on our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit, cash flows, or presentation thereof.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, have been released in November 2018 (2018-19), November 2019 (2019-10 and 2019-11) and a January 2020 Update (2020-02) that provided additional guidance on this Topic. This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For SEC filers meeting certain criteria, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. For SEC filers that meet the criteria of a smaller reporting company (including this Company) and for non-SEC registrant public companies and other organizations, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption will be permitted for all organizations for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of its analysis of the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” This guidance, among other provisions, eliminates certain exceptions to existing guidance related to the approach for intra period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in its effective income tax rate in the first interim period that includes the enactment date of the new legislation, aligning the timing of recognition of the effects from enacted tax law changes on the effective income tax rate with the effects on deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Under existing guidance, an entity recognizes the effects of the enacted tax law change on the effective income tax rate in the period that includes the effective date of the tax law. ASU 2019-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, to reduce complexity in applying U.S. GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this pronouncement on January 1, 2021; however, the adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Equipment
The Company values property and equipment at cost and depreciates these assets using the straight-line method over their expected useful life.
In accordance with FASB ASC No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest.
There were no impairment losses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We hold certain financial assets, which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“ASC Topic 820-10”). ASC Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). ASC Topic 820-10 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 on the measurement date. Level 1 instruments include cash, account receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory and account payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying values are assumed to approximate the fair value due to the short term nature of the instrument.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC Topic 820-10 are described below:
● Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. We believe our carrying value of level 1 instruments approximate their fair value at December 31, 2021 and 2020.
● Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
● Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We consider depleting assets, asset retirement obligations and net profit interest liability to be Level 3. We determine the fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities utilizing various inputs, including NYMEX price quotations and contract terms.

The Board of Directors, who serves as the Custodian, is responsible for the safekeeping of gold bullion owned by the Company.
Fair value of the gold bullion held by the Company is based on that day’s London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) Gold Price PM. “LBMA Gold Price PM” is the price per fine troy ounce of gold, stated in U.S. dollars, determined by ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) following an electronic auction consisting of one or more 30-second rounds starting at 3:00 p.m. (London time), on each day that the London gold market is open for business and published shortly thereafter.
The following tables summarize activity in gold bullion for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Investment in Gold bullion 1,884 450,216

Ending balance $ 1,884 $ 437,212
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues have been generated primarily from a contract with the U.S. Government. The Company performed work under a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract. Under the base phase of that contract, the Company produced recombinant spider silk woven into ballistic shootpack panels. Those shootpack panels were delivered to the U.S. Government customer. Under an option period award starting in July 2017 and ending in September 2018, to that original contract, the Company worked to develop new recombinant silks.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC No. 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC No. 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $0 and $0 respectively in revenue.
On January 25, 2021, the Company signed an amendment to a strategic partnership agreement with Kings Group for and exclusive sales agreement for up to $40 million. On April 8, 2021, the Company and Kings Group formed Spydasilk Enterprises Pte. Ltd., a Singapore company, to formalize this partnership.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company at times has cash in banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $2,092,420 and $500,000, respectively in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Original Issue Discount
For certain notes issued, the Company provides the debt holder with an original issue discount. The original issue discount is recorded as a debt discount, reducing the face amount of the note, and is amortized to amortization of original issue discount in the consolidated statements of operations over the life of the debt.
Debt Issue Cost
Debt issuance cost paid to lenders, or third parties are recorded as debt discounts and amortized to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations, over the life of the underlying debt instrument.
Beneficial Conversion Feature
For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a “beneficial conversion feature” (“BCF”) and related debt discount.
When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument. The discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.
NOTE 2 GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $5,796,531 and stockholders’ deficiency of $5,295,875 and used $1,800,809 of cash in operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 EQUIPMENT
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, property and equipment, net, is as follows:
SCHEDULE OF PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
Our Chief Executive Officer, as the principal executive officer (chief executive officer) and principal financial officer (chief financial officer), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, our internal controls and procedures may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “ Internal Control - Integrated Framework” (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that assessment, our management has determined that as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective for the purposes for which it is intended based on the following material weaknesses:
- Lack of internal audit function. During 2021, the Company, upon review of the independent auditors, made some adjustments to its financial statements, including, adjusting salary amounts and the related tax accruals, correcting warrant expense for a warrant issued to a related party, and adding the liability due to our attorney that should have been recorded. Management believes that the foregoing is due to the fact that the Company lacks qualified resources to perform the internal audit functions properly and that the scope and effectiveness of the internal audit function are yet to be developed. Specifically, the reporting mechanism between the accounting department and the Board of Directors and the CEO was not effective, therefore resulting in the delay of recording and reporting.
- No Segregation of Duties Ineffective controls over financial reporting: As of December 31, 2021, we had no full-time employees with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to insure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner.
- Lack of a functioning audit committee: Due to a lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors, and no audit committee has been elected, the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures is inadequate.
- Written Policies & Procedures: Due to lack of written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting, the Company did not establish a formal process to close our books monthly and account for all transactions.
- Lack of controls over related party transactions: As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions.
We are developing a plan to ensure that all information will be recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately, and as of the date of this report, we have hired a payroll service firm to manage all payroll functions including tax withholdings. We will take the following steps to address the above-referenced material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
1. We will continue to educate our management personnel to increase its ability to comply with the disclosure requirements and financial reporting controls; and
2. We will increase management oversight of accounting and reporting functions in the future; and
3. As soon as we can raise sufficient capital or our operations generate sufficient cash flow, we will hire personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions.
While the first two steps of our remediation process are ongoing, we do not expect to remediate the weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting until the time when we start to commercialize a recombinant fiber (and, therefore, may have sufficient cash flow for hiring personnel to handle our accounting and reporting functions).
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s 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 the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

At UEA, he worked as the Director of Advanced Technologies, where he was responsible for new products development and commercialization.

KENNETH LE
Mr. Le was appointed as our Director of government relations and the President of Prodigy Textiles in July 2019. In light of his position with our subsidiary and the duties associated with such position, we believe Mr. Le meets the definition of “executive officer” as such term is defined in the Exchange Act. Kenneth Le has over 25 years of successful international business experience specializing in entrepreneurial enterprises. As previous managing partner of Pacific Bay Ventures, Mr. Le worked on a joint venture developing 1,550 hectares as a mixed use residential industrial park in conjunction with Dat Quang Chu Lai Industrial Park, JSP in Tam An city in Chu Lai province, Vietnam’s first international open economic trade zone. He was Managing Director of Minh Nhat Company which was developing Da Deh Lake, an eco-resort of over 500 hectares in a surrounded lake in the Lam Dong province, the third and the largest plateau province on the Central Highlands three hours outside of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Mr. Le has extensive high-level business contacts in Southeast Asia, many of which he has helped bring together acting as international liaison. Management believes that Mr. Le’s work has been instrumental in helping the Company establish and grow its operations in Southeast Asia.
Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board. Mr. Thompson is employed as the CEO and CFO of the company pursuant to a five year employment contract.
Our sole director was appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, none of the following events occurred during the past ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our executive officers, directors or promoters:
(1) A petition under the Federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which he was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;
(2) Convicted in a criminal proceeding or is a named subject of a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
(3) Subject of any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:
(i) Acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;
(ii) Engaging in any type of business practice; or
(iii) Engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of Federal or State securities laws or Federal commodities laws;
(4) Subject of any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any Federal or State authority barring, suspending or otherwise limiting for more than 60 days the right of such person to engage in any activity described y such activity;
(5) Found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commission to have violated any Federal or State securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;
(6) Found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated any Federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated;

Committees
Our board of directors has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nominating committee or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our sole Board member. Because we have only one director and do not have any independent directors, the establishment of committees of the Board of Directors would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance. In addition, we do not have an “audit committee financial expert,” because our sole director does not qualify as such within the applicable definition of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Meetings of the Board of Directors
During its fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Board of Directors did not meet on any occasion, but rather transacted business by unanimous written consent.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This Code of Ethics was previously filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-KSB on March 26, 2008 and has been included in this annual report as Exhibit 14.1.
Corporate Governance
The business and affairs of the Company are managed under our sole board member. In addition to the contact information in this annual report, each stockholder will be given specific information on how he/she can direct communications to the officers and directors of the Company at our annual stockholders meetings. All communications from stockholders are relayed to the board of member.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships by between or among the members of the Board or other executive officers of the Company.

Director Independence
Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent within one year of our initial public offering. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have identified persons who meet these requirements and are qualified to serve on our board; we anticipate appointing such persons to our Board at such time is required to meet the applicable listing standards.
