corporation based in California) (collectively, “Plaintiffs” or “Enochian”) motion for preliminary
injunction, and in support ofDefendants’ motion for dismissal ofthis action (the “Vermont
lawsuit”). As will be explained below, Enochian filed this lawsuit, with no notice to Defendants,
to attempt to intimidate Mr. Wolfe and dissuade him from exercising his rights in the Danish
court. It is very much akin to a “SLAPP” suit against a whistleblower. Defendants incorporate

A. BACKGROUND
1. On or about June 30, 2017, PlaintiffEnochian Biosciences Denmark, ApS, a
Danish company that is a subsidiary ofPlaintiff Enochian Bioscienccs, Inc., entered into a CFO
Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Defendants Crossfield, 1110., and Mr. Wolfe.
Plaintiffs’ Complaint, at 3, 1] ll. A copy ofthe Agreement is attached as Exhibit A to Plaintiffs’
Complaint.‘ Crossfield is owned by Mr. Wolfe. The Agreement was drafied by Enochian.
Affidavit of Robert E. Wolfe (“Wolfe Aff.”), at 11 8. The Agreement was amended on December
29, 2017 (the “Amendmen ”) to alter Defendants’ compensation but was otherwise lefi intact.
Complaint, at 3, 1i 12; Wolfe Aff., at 1] ll. A copy ofthe Amendment is attached as Exhibit B to
Plaintiffs’ Complaint. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Wolfe acted as Enochian’s Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) and provided CFO services to Enochian. Complaint, at 3, 1m 13-15;
Wolfe Affi, at 11 9. Pursuant to Danish law, the Agreement is considered an employment
agreement, conferring upon Mr. Wolfe all ofthe rights ofan employee under Danish law. _S_ee
Employers’ and Salaried Employees Legal Relationship Consolidation Act of2017.2,

Arbitration’ and the arbitral tribunal is to be made up ofarbitrators appointed by the Danish
Institute ofArbitration. The arbitral tribunal is to sit in Copenhagen.”
4. Enochian terminated the Agreement on December 13, 2018. Wolfe Aff., at 1i 19.
On that date Enochian’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Eric J. Leire, telephoned Mr. Wolfe and
informed him that the Agreement was terminated, efi‘ective immediately, and that the
compensation owing to Defendants would be paid immediately. E, Dr. Leire (who himselfwas
subsequently terminated by Enochian) made clear to Mr. Wolfe that the termination was due to
Mr. Wolfe’s raising ofconcerns about Enochian’s hiring ofand payments to an individual as an
“advisor” who was a convicted criminal. I_d., at 1] 20. The allegation in Paragraph 23 of
Plaintiffs’ Complaint, that Enochian terminated Defendants’ services on or about January 9,
2019, is false. On December l8, 2018 Enochian Biosciences, Inc.’s Board Chairman, Rene
Sindlev, telephoned Mr. Wolfe and confirmed that Defendants’ services had been terminated by
Dr. Leire on December 13. 1i, at 11 21. The termination was further documented in an email of
December 18, 2018 fiom Mr. Sindlev to Mr. Wolfe and other Enochian employees, and
Enochian’s attorney. gg Exhibit 2 hereto. A Form 8-K filed by Enochian Biosciences, Inc., on
January 9, 2019 states that Enochian had hired Luisa Puche to take over Defendants’
responsibilities as CFO ofEnochian efl‘ective January 7, 2018. S+ee Exhibit 3 hereto; Wolfe

9. Unlike Enochian’s secret filing in this Court, Defendants’ Danish attorney
notified Enochian on January 17, 2019 — three (3) weeks before filing suit in Denmark -oftheir
legal claims for compensation under Danish law. §_e§ Exhibit 7 hereto; Wolfe Aff., at 1] 30.

12. Instead ofaddressing their confidentiality concerns with Defendants before they
filed in Denmark, or immediately responding in the Danish court, or both, on Saturday, February
9 Enochian’s attorneys sent a letter to Defendant’s Danish counsel and to Defendants themselves
(despite the fact that Enochian’s attorneys knew that Defendants were represented by Danish
counsel) accusing Defendants of having disclosed Enochian’s confidential information in their
Danish filing.8 Wolfe Aff., at 11 36. A copy ofthe letter is attached as Exhibit D to Plaintiffs’
Complaint. In sending its letter, Enochian waited over three (3) weeks afier Enochian had been
notified in writing of Defendants’ claim, and four (4) days after Enochian had actually seen the
filing (before it was filed) —
despite now claiming that thefiling disclosed confidential
information that irregarablz harms Enochian.
l3. Defendants’ Danish attorney, Carsten Busk, promptly responded to Enochian’s
attorneys on Monday, February 11, denying that Defendants breached the confidentiality
provisions of the Agreement, and advising them that under Danish law regarding employee
rights, Defendants were entitled to file a lawsuit notwithstanding the arbitration clause in the
Agreement. Wolfe Affi, at 1] 38. A copy ofthe letter is attached as Exhibit E to Plaintiffs’

17. Subsequent to this Court’s issuance ofthe e__x par; temporary restraining order, on

Court that Defendants’ filing in the Danish court disclosed confidential information and caused
Enochian irreparable harm, Enochian waited nineteen (19) days to reSpond to the Danish filing.

should be enforced unless enforcement is shown by the resisting party to be ‘unreasonablc’ under
the circumstances?” Im’l Collection Serv. Inc. v. Gibbs, 147 Vt. 105, 107 (1986) (citing and
quoting The Bremen v. Zapata Off-Shore C0,, 407 U.S. 1, 10 (1972)). To escape a contractually
agreed forum selection clause, the resisting patty must “show that trial in the contractual forum
will be so gravely diflicult and inconvenient that he will for all practical purposes be deprived of
his day in court.” I_d; (quoting The Bremen, 407 U.S. at 18). Enochian — a Danish company that
specified Danish forum and Danish law in its Agreement, and which has already made a filing in
the Danish case — cannot possibly meet this burden.
There can be no doubt here that the claims made in Enochian’s Vermont lawsuit fall
squarely within the Agreement’s forum selection clause, and therefore dismissal is warranted
under V.R.C.P. 12(b)(3) and l2(b)(6). One need not look any further than Count I, which alleges
breach ofthe Agreement —
i.e., “a binding an enforceable contract between Plaintiffs and
Defendants.” Complaint, at fl 33. Clearly, Enochian’s assertion that Defendants breached the
Agreement “aris[es] out ofthis ongoing relationship or the conclusion, construction or end of
this CFO Service Agreement.”12 That Enochian’s filing in this Court is improper is further
underscored by the fact that Enochian alleges that Defendants’ “wrongfiil conduct” included not
adhering to the forum selection clause. 13
l_d., at 1i 27.a. In view ofthat allegation, how can
Enochian possiblyjustify filing the Vermont action in the first place?
Nor can Enochian claim that this Court’s enforcement ofthe forum selection clause
12 Counts It and III, which allege breach offiduciary duty and breach ofduty of loyalty, respectively, also fall under
the forum selection clause, as they each are premised on obligationsthat Enochian alleges existed under the
Agreement and continue to exist at the end ofthe Agreement. Complaint, at w 38-39, 43.
l3 As noted above, the fact that Defendants instituted a lawsuit in Denmark rather than arbitration there is not, by
operation ofDanish law, a violation ofthe clause.

Delaware company based in California); b) has no connection to the Agreement or to the dispute
between the parties; and c) is not well-suited to the application ofDanish law, which expressly
governs the Agreement.” Worse yet, there was simply no good faith basis for Enochian to seek
its restraining order on an g gm basis, premised upon (false) allegations of improper
disclosures ofEnochian’s confidential information (in Denmark). Mr. Wolfe resides in
Randolph, Vermont, in Orange County, a drive ofless than thirty (30) minutes to the Chelsea
courthouse via VT Route 66. Wolfe Aff., at 1] 42. Indeed, Mr. Wolfe was at his residence at all
times between Tuesday, February 12 (the date on which Enochian filed its secret lawsuit and
obtained the g order) and Friday February 15 (the date on which the order was served on
him by sheriff) —
completely unaware ofthis action. LL, at 1] 44. Defendants gave Enochian
advance warning of its Danish filing, and exactly what it would contain. By contrast, Plaintiffs
did nothing, and then, a week later, filed a secret SLAPP-style action in Vermont. Had Mr.
Wolfe received notice ofthe motion for restraining order, he would readily have come to the
Court and explained why the information is not confidential — that it can be found in Enochian’s
own SEC filings and a public video, and by a search ofpublic sources — but is apparently
embarrassing to Enochian. m” at 1] 42.

Although Enochian filed the present action on February 12, there can be no doubt — based upon the sheer volume

that Enochian had been working on this filing for several days prior to filing.
Thus, instead ofacting quickly in Denmark to address what it believed was an irreparably hannful disclosure of
“confidential information” in Denmark, Enochian focused its efforts on concocting a U.S. lawsuit.

2. Even ifThis Action is Not Dismissed, Enochian is Not Entitled to Any Form
of lniunetive Relief Because ta) the Information Disclosed in 'Defendants’
Danish Filing is Not Confidential Information, (b) Enochian Cannot Claim
lrreparable Harm Under the Circumstances, and (c) Neither the Balance of
Harms Nor the Public Interest Warrant Such Relief.
As detailed further below, Enochian obtained an ex page temporary restraining order in
this action on the flimsiest allegations of disclosure by Defendants of “confidential information”
but with no explanation in their motion of exactly what information Defendants disclosed and
why it is (allegedly) confidential. Assuming the Court does not dismiss this action, it should not
convert the restraining order to a preliminary injunction.
The Vermont Supreme Court has cautioned that “[a] preliminary injunction is an
extraordinary remedy never awarded as of right.” Taylor v. 'l‘oWn of‘ Cabot, 2017 V'l‘, 1] 19, 205
Vt. 586 (citing Winter v; Nat. Res..Def. Council Inc. 555 US. 7, 24 (2008)). As the party
seeking injunctive relief, Enochian bears the burden ofestablishing the various factors that must
be considered in granting such relief: “(1) the threat of irreparable harm to the movant; (2) the
potential harm to the other parties; (3) the likelihood ofsuccess on the merits; and (4) the public
interest.” 11,
a. Irregarable Harm
Regarding the irreparable harm factor, Enochian’s argument rests entirely on its
contention that Defendants have disclosed (and will continue to disclose) Enochian’s
“confidential information.” The alleged confidential information is mentioned only at the
I
bottom ofpage 3 ofEnochian’s “Motion for Emergency Ex Parte Temporary Restraining Order”
(Motion 1) and is not described in any detail whatsoever. Enochian identifies the confidential
information only as “allegations concerning payments made by Enochian Bioscience to an

(in-ad the “quanti[ty] [or] those payments.” Motion at 3. How
does this vague identification substantiate to this Court that the information Defendants disclosed
in their Danish filing is actually confidential? Enochian simply alleges that this information was
not public (which is false) and they do not explain: a) why or how it is confidential; b) why or
how it is irreparably harmful to Enochian (except to conclusorily claim it is “confidential”); and
c) why or how Mr. Wolfe, with fiduciary responsibilities as CFO ofa publicly-traded company
to Enochian’s shareholders and to the SEC, was not at liberty -indeed, was not required -to
disclose it. Enochian’s vague allegation does not even come close to meeting its heavy burden
of explaining why Enochian is legally entitled to restrain Defendants from disclosing it — in a
foreign judicial proceeding applying that country’s laws, no less. As summarized below and in
Mr. wolfe’s affidavit accompanying this Memorandum ofLaw, the information at issue is not
confidential and, instead, is publicly available,” to wit:

act sooner undercuts the sense ofurgency that ordinarily accompanies a motion for preliminary
relief and suggests that there is, in fact, no irreparable injury”) (quotation omitted). Most
notably, on February 5, 2019, afier receiving a copy ofDefendants’ anticipated Danish court
filing with two days? advance notice, Enochian did nothing to intervene and stop the filing on the
supposed grounds that it contained confidential information. Instead, it waited four days, until
February 9, to send a letter (dated February 8) to Defendants and their Danish counsel
complaining about the filing (which was made on February 7). Enochian then waited, according
to the docket in this ease, another three (3) days, until February 12, to file its (improper) action in
this Court. Enochian also waited l9 days afier Defendants made their filing in Denmark to
submit a response to the Danish court. Enochian had the opportunity all along to move to seal
Defendants’ Danish filing on the grounds ofconfidentiality and irreparable harm, but
demonstrated no urgency at all. There simply is no irreparable harm here.
Finally, even ifthe Court should allow this lawsuit to continue, a preliminary injunction
is improper because any alleged harm to Enochian fi'om a disclosure ofactual confidential
information — to be determined by a Danish tribunal under Danish lawpursuant to Enochian ’s
Agreement — can be compensated by money damages.

Regarding the likelihood of success factor, Enochian’s argument fails for two primary
reasons. First, as with irreparable harm, Enochian’s position on the merits of its claims is
grounded on its unjustified conclusion that the information disclosed in Defendants’ Danish
filing is confidential — which it isn’t, as explained above and in Mr. Wolfe’s afiidavit. Second,
Enochian contends that the information at issue is not relevant to Defendants’ claims in the
FILED

Danish action. But as explained above, Defendants’ raising ofconcerns regarding Enochian’s
relationship with-isvery relevant, as it forms the basis for Defendants’ position as
to why Enochian wrongfully terminated the Agreement.
c. Balance at Harms and Public Inferes!
Once again, Enochian’s argument on each of these factors revolves substantially around
the disclosure ofwhat it contends is confidential information, but in actuality is publicly-
available information. Thus, for the reasons discussed above, these factors tip toward the denial
of injunctive relief. And on a broader level, courts should be especially reluctant to enjoin
speech involving publicly-known matters (as here), and even more so when that speech is a
necessary component in court filings in a foreign tribunal, which tribunal is capable of
determining whether the information is or is not confidential and should or should not be sealed.
In summary, Defendants have not disclosed any confidential information in their Danish
lawsuit, and they have no intention of doing so in the future. As such, injunctive relief is not
necessary or warranted.22 But Defendants take to heart the final paragraph ofthis Court’s
temporary restraining order: that it is up to the Danish court to decide what information is and is
not confidential, and what information may or may not be publicly filed in that court. Defendant
must and will, as ordered by the Danish court, respond by March 27 to Enochian’s February 26
filing, pursuant to Danish law and represented by a Danish attorney.
22 In granting the temperary restraining order, the Court determined that EIiOchian need not post a bond because
“there is; no indication that Defendants will be harmed ifthey are enjoined ii'om further disclosing confidential
information under the parties’ agreement at least until thismatter can be further heard.” Ifthe Court'

2. Even ifThis Action is Not Dismissed, Enochian is Not Entitled to Any Form
of lniunetive Relief Because ta) the Information Disclosed in 'Defendants’
Danish Filing is Not Confidential Information, (b) Enochian Cannot Claim
lrreparable Harm Under the Circumstances, and (c) Neither the Balance of
Harms Nor the Public Interest Warrant Such Relief.
As detailed further below, Enochian obtained an ex page temporary restraining order in
this action on the flimsiest allegations of disclosure by Defendants of “confidential information”
but with no explanation in their motion of exactly what information Defendants disclosed and
why it is (allegedly) confidential. Assuming the Court does not dismiss this action, it should not
convert the restraining order to a preliminary injunction.
The Vermont Supreme Court has cautioned that “[a] preliminary injunction is an
extraordinary remedy never awarded as of right.” Taylor v. 'l‘oWn of‘ Cabot, 2017 V'l‘, 1] 19, 205
Vt. 586 (citing Winter v; Nat. Res..Def. Council Inc. 555 US. 7, 24 (2008)). As the party
seeking injunctive relief, Enochian bears the burden ofestablishing the various factors that must
be considered in granting such relief: “(1) the threat of irreparable harm to the movant; (2) the
potential harm to the other parties; (3) the likelihood ofsuccess on the merits; and (4) the public
interest.” 11,
a. Irregarable Harm
Regarding the irreparable harm factor, Enochian’s argument rests entirely on its
contention that Defendants have disclosed (and will continue to disclose) Enochian’s
“confidential information.” The alleged confidential information is mentioned only at the
I
bottom ofpage 3 ofEnochian’s “Motion for Emergency Ex Parte Temporary Restraining Order”
(Motion 1) and is not described in any detail whatsoever. Enochian identifies the confidential
information only as “allegations concerning payments made by Enochian Bioscience to an

$500,000 in eXchange for the Enochian Biopharma Note to fund pre-clinical study programs, including a study with
syngeneic and humanized mice models. The Enochian Biopharma Note was assumed and forgiven upon the completion of
the Acquisition on February l6, 201,8, and the Company is continuing Enochian Biopharma’s pre-clinical study programs
as research and development expenses of the Company (see Note l, Research and Development Expenses).
Shares held for non-consenting shareholders - In connection with the Share Exchange certain shareholders of
DanDrit Denmark had not been identified or did not consent to the exchange of shares. 1n accordance with Section 70 of
the Danish Companies Act and the Articles of Association of DanDrit Denmark, the Non-Consenting Shareholders that
did not exchange the DanDrit Denmark equity interests owned by such Non-Consenting Shareholders for shares of the
Company, will be entitled to receive up to 185,053 shares of Common Stock of the Company that each such Non-
Consenting Shareholder would have been entitled to receive if such shareholder had consented to the Share Exchange.
During the year ended June 30, 2018, the Registrant issued 55,457 shares of Common Stock to such non-consenting
shareholders of DanDrit Denmark. The 129,596 remaining shares have been reflected as issued and outstanding in the
accompanying financial statements.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - The FDA has extensive regulatory authority over biopharmaceutical
products (drugs and biological products), manufacturing protocols and procedures and the facilities in which they will be
manufactured. Any new bio product intended for use in humans is subject to rigorous testing requirements imposed by the
FDA with respect to product efficacy and safety, possible toxicity and side effects. FDA approval for the use of new bio
products (which can never be assured) requires several rounds of extensive preclinical testing and clinical investigations
conducted by the sponsoring pharmaceutical company prior to sale and use of the product. At each stage, the approvals
granted by the FDA include the manufacturing process utilized to produce the product. Accordingly, the Company’s cell
systems used for the production of therapeutic or bio therapeutic products are subject to significant regulation by the FDA
under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended.
Product Iiability- The contract production services for therapeutic products offered exposes an inherent risk of
liability as bio therapeutic substances manufactured, at the request and to the specifications of customers, could
foreseeably cause adverse effects The Company seeks to obtain agreements from contract production customers
indemnifying andgdefending the Company from any potential liability arising from such risk. There ean be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such agreements in the future or that such indemnification
agreements will adequately protect the Company against potential claims relating to such contract production services.
The Company may also be exposed to potential product liability claims by users of its products. A successful partial or
completely uninsured claim against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company‘s operations.
Employment Agreements- The Com any has an employment agreement with Eric Leire, the Chic Bxecgtiye
Officer with a base compensation of $3 l3,775.(The Com

I just had a phonecall with Robert today.
Robert confirms that once he receives his termination as a consultant in
writing, that will be the effective end date of his services. Robert will
continue business and services as usual in the termination period, until a
final
transition and hand over job has taken place.
Dear Evelyn and Eric,
Can I kindly ask you to take control of this process?
Once we have both contracts signed by Robert and Luisa it needs to be
filed as

my Feb. 7 Danish filing with their accusation about the disclosure of confidential information.
Given that they were advised on February 5 of what my Danish filing would say, it is telling
that Enochian’s attorneys spent their time after that (and quite possibly before that) working
on a secret Vermont lawsuit rather than crafting a prompt response to the Danish lawsuit. In
fact, they did not bother to respond to the Danish lawsuit until February 26 (19 days after it
was filed), and then without any sense of urgency.
41. On February 12, unbeknownst to me, Enochian filed this action and sought an
“ex parte” temporary restraining order against me to prevent me from disclosing Enochian’s
supposedly confidential information.
42. I live and work out ofmy home in Randolph, Vermont, not far from the
courthouse, and l believe I should have been notified ofthe motion for temporary restraining
order so that I could have explained to the Court that there is nothing at all “confidential”
about the information contained in my Danish filing, and that the information is relevant to'
why Enochian abruptly and wrongfully terminated the Agreement.
43. I knew nothing about this lawsuit until the temporary restraining order was
served on me at my home by the sheriff on February 15.
44.
I
Although l travel regularly on business, I was at my home at all times between
February 12—15, and could and would easily have attended a hearing at the courthouse if I had
known about this lawsuit.
45. On February 13, the day after Enochian obtained its ex pane order in this Court
(but before I Was served with it) the Danish court directed Enochian to respond to my filing
there.

53. The information contained in my Danish filing is not confidential and is
relevant to the reason for my claim of wrongful termination ofthe Agreement. The filing
explains that Enochian terminated the Agreement because I, in my capacity as Chief Financial
Officer of the company, raised concerns about Enochian’s relationship with, and large
payments to, a felon convicted of a financial crime. The allegations that this information is
“company confidential” are utterly false. All of the information is publicly-available.

NOTE I— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation — The functional currency of DanDn‘t Denmark is the Danish Kroner
(“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance
sheet' accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S.
dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during periods ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.
Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.
Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the
functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in
excess of federally insured States amounts at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 of $13,155,1 85 and $15,350,865 respectively.
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that
extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the assets which range from four to ten years (See Note 2).
Intangible Assets —Definite life intangible assets include patents and licenses. The Company accounts for definite life
intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)
Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to
acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are
charged to expense. License agreements cost represent the Fair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired. Intangible assets
are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date
of application.
Goodwill —Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually in the fiscal fourth quarter or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our
detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair
value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted
cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill
impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible
goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the
reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's
goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied
fair value of the goodWill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value.
V
The carrying value of goodwill at September 30, 2018, was $11.64 million. We do not believe there is a reasonable
likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill.
However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could
be material.

Income Téxes ——
The Company accoimts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income
Taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.
Loss Per Share — The Company calculates eamings/(Ioss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share.
Basic earnings per common share (BPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during
each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially
dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-
the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. Because of the net loss for the three months ended
September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the dilutive shares for both periods .were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as
the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 6,573,036 potential shares of Common Stock
excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of September 30, 2018.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and
financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among
other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset
and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring 0r nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price,
representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market
participants Would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier
fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
o Level l. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
0 Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
0 Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its
own assumptions.
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value ofthe Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded
values due to their short—term maturities.
The following table sets forth the liabilities at September 30, 2018, which is recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a
recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement:

Stock Compensation. Non—cash compensation costs for
employee compensation and consulting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $46,166 and $0,
respectively. Non-cash compensation costs of $46,166 and $0 have been recognized for the vesting of options and warrants granted to
oflicers, board members, employees and consultants with an associated recognized tax benefit of SO for the three months ended

——Stock Compensation and ASC 505 - 50 Equity-Based Payments to Non—Employees. All transactions in which goods or services are
the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received
or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and
the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued
and are recognized over the employees required service period, which is generally the vesting period.

I_d., at 1] 20. The allegation in Paragraph 23 of Plaintiffs’ Complaint, that Enochian terminated Defendants’ services on or about January 9, 2019, is false.

Most notably, on February 5, 2019, afier receiving a copy ofDefendants’ anticipated Danish court filing with two days? advance notice, Enochian did nothing to intervene and stop the filing on the supposed grounds that it contained confidential information. Instead, it waited four days, until February 9, to send a letter (dated February 8) to Defendants and their Danish counsel complaining about the filing (which was made on February 7). Enochian then waited, according to the docket in this ease, another three (3) days, until February 12, to file its (improper) action in this Court. Enochian also waited l9 days afier Defendants made their filing in Denmark to submit a response to the Danish court. Enochian had the opportunity all along to move to seal Defendants’ Danish filing on the grounds ofconfidentiality and irreparable harm, but demonstrated no urgency at all. There simply is no irreparable harm here. Finally, even ifthe Court should allow this lawsuit to continue, a preliminary injunction is improper because any alleged harm to Enochian fi'om a disclosure ofactual confidential information — to be determined by a Danish tribunal under Danish lawpursuant to Enochian ’s Agreement — can be compensated by money damages. b. Likelihood at Success on the Merits Regarding the likelihood of success factor, Enochian’s argument fails for two primary reasons.

But as explained above, Defendants’ raising ofconcerns regarding Enochian’s relationship with-isvery relevant, as it forms the basis for Defendants’ position as to why Enochian wrongfully terminated the Agreement. c. Balance at Harms and Public Inferes! Once again, Enochian’s argument on each of these factors revolves substantially around the disclosure ofwhat it contends is confidential information, but in actuality is publicly- available information. Thus, for the reasons discussed above, these factors tip toward the denial of injunctive relief. And on a broader level, courts should be especially reluctant to enjoin speech involving publicly-known matters (as here), and even more so when that speech is a necessary component in court filings in a foreign tribunal, which tribunal is capable of determining whether the information is or is not confidential and should or should not be sealed. In summary, Defendants have not disclosed any confidential information in their Danish lawsuit, and they have no intention of doing so in the future. As such, injunctive relief is not necessary or warranted.22 But Defendants take to heart the final paragraph ofthis Court’s temporary restraining order: that it is up to the Danish court to decide what information is and is not confidential, and what information may or may not be publicly filed in that court. Defendant must and will, as ordered by the Danish court, respond by March 27 to Enochian’s February 26 filing, pursuant to Danish law and represented by a Danish attorney. 22 In granting the temperary restraining order, the Court determined that EIiOchian need not post a bond because “there is; no indication that Defendants will be harmed ifthey are enjoined ii'om further disclosing confidential information under the parties’ agreement at least until thismatter can be further heard.” Ifthe Court' Is inclined to grant furthcr'Injunctivereliefalter review ofthe papers andahearing, Defendants will request that the Court revisit the bondIssue at that time.

  • 23. Danish action. But as explained above, Defendants’ raising ofconcerns regarding Enochian’s relationship with-isvery relevant, as it forms the basis for Defendants’ position as to why Enochian wrongfully terminated the Agreement. c. Balance at Harms and Public Inferes! Once again, Enochian’s argument on each of these factors revolves substantially around the disclosure ofwhat it contends is confidential information, but in actuality is publicly- available information. Thus, for the reasons discussed above, these factors tip toward the denial of injunctive relief. And on a broader level, courts should be especially reluctant to enjoin speech involving publicly-known matters (as here), and even more so when that speech is a necessary component in court filings in a foreign tribunal, which tribunal is capable of determining whether the information is or is not confidential and should or should not be sealed. In summary, Defendants have not disclosed any confidential information in their Danish lawsuit, and they have no intention of doing so in the future. As such, injunctive relief is not necessary or warranted.22 But Defendants take to heart the final paragraph ofthis Court’s temporary restraining order: that it is up to the Danish court to decide what information is and is not confidential, and what information may or may not be publicly filed in that court. Defendant must and will, as ordered by the Danish court, respond by March 27 to Enochian’s February 26 filing, pursuant to Danish law and represented by a Danish attorney. 22 In granting the temperary restraining order, the Court determined that EIiOchian need not post a bond because “there is; no indication that Defendants will be harmed ifthey are enjoined ii'om further disclosing confidential information under the parties’ agreement at least until thismatter can be further heard.” Ifthe Court' Is inclined to grant furthcr'Injunctivereliefalter review ofthe papers andahearing, Defendants will request that the Court revisit the bondIssue at that time.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - The FDA has extensive regulatory authority over biopharmaceutical products (drugs and biological products), manufacturing protocols and procedures and the facilities in which they will be manufactured. Any new bio product intended for use in humans is subject to rigorous testing requirements imposed by the FDA with respect to product efficacy and safety, possible toxicity and side effects. FDA approval for the use of new bio products (which can never be assured) requires several rounds of extensive preclinical testing and clinical investigations conducted by the sponsoring pharmaceutical company prior to sale and use of the product. At each stage, the approvals granted by the FDA include the manufacturing process utilized to produce the product. Accordingly, the Company’s cell systems used for the production of therapeutic or bio therapeutic products are subject to significant regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended. Product Iiability- The contract production services for therapeutic products offered exposes an inherent risk of liability as bio therapeutic substances manufactured, at the request and to the specifications of customers, could foreseeably cause adverse effects The Company seeks to obtain agreements from contract production customers indemnifying andgdefending the Company from any potential liability arising from such risk.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES T0 UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE I— SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation — The functional currency of DanDn‘t Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet' accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during periods ended September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents —The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark and in the United States in excess of federally insured States amounts at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 of $13,155,1 85 and $15,350,865 respectively. Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from four to ten years (See Note 2). Intangible Assets —Definite life intangible assets include patents and licenses. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Intangible assets are recorded at cost. Patent costs consist of costs incurred to acquire the underlying patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining capitalized patent costs are charged to expense. License agreements cost represent the Fair Value of the license agreement on the date acquired. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life. The estimated useful life of patents is twenty years from the date of application. Goodwill —Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually in the fiscal fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segment level. Our detailed impairment testing involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. Fair value reflects the price a market participant would be willing to pay in a potential sale of the reporting unit and is based on discounted cash flows or relative market-based approaches. If the fair value exceeds carrying value, then it is concluded that no goodwill impairment has occurred. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step is required to measure possible goodwill impairment loss. The second step includes hypothetically valuing the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Then, the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is compared to the carrying value of that goodwill. If the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodWill, we recognize an impairment loss in an amount equal to the excess, not to exceed the carrying value. V The carrying value of goodwill at September 30, 2018, was $11.64 million. We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to test for impairment losses on goodwill. However, if actual results are not consistent with our estimates or assumptions, we may be exposed to an impairment charge that could be material. ' FILED . . VERMONT SUPERIOR COURT .

Loss Per Share — The Company calculates eamings/(Ioss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share (BPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potential shares of Common Stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in- the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised. Because of the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the dilutive shares for both periods .were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as the effect of these potential shares of Common Stock is anti-dilutive. The Company had 6,573,036 potential shares of Common Stock excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as of September 30, 2018. Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring 0r nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants Would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: o Level l. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; 0 Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and 0 Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value ofthe Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short—term maturities. The following table sets forth the liabilities at September 30, 2018, which is recorded on the balance sheet at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement: FILED VERMONT SUPERIOR COURT wa~sZM9 ORANGE UNIT
