NOTE 1 – BUSINESS AND RECAPITALIZATION
 
Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp., through its wholly owned subsidiary Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Tonix Sub, is a specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to the identification and development of novel pharmaceutical products for challenging disorders of the central nervous system (“CNS”), including fibromyalgia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
 
On August 16, 2010, Tonix Sub formed Krele LLC ("Krele") in the state of Delaware. Krele is a limited liability corporation whose sole member is Tonix Sub. Krele was established to commercialize products that are generic versions of predicate new drug application products or versions of drug efficacy study implementation products. The Company expects that its relationship to Krele will be similar to that of several other pharmaceutical companies and their subsidiaries that market generic versions of the parent's branded products at different periods in their product life-cycle.
 
On October 7, 2011, Tonix Sub (formerly Krele Pharmaceuticals, Inc. incorporated on June 7, 2007 in the State of Delaware) and a publicly traded non-operating shell company Tamandare Explorations Inc. (“Tamandare”), incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, along with certain other parties executed and consummated a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange, each share of Tonix Sub’s common stock was exchanged for 0.045 shares of Tamandare’s common stock and each share of Tonix Sub’s Series A and B preferred stock was exchanged for 0.24 shares of Tamandare’s common stock. Upon completion of the Share Exchange, the Tonix Sub shareholders, including holders of restricted shares, which were subject to accelerated vesting, received in exchange for all of their shares, an aggregate of 1,133,334 shares of Tamandare’s common stock and Tamandare’s existing shareholders retained 200,000 shares of common stock. The 1,133,334 shares issued to the Tonix Sub shareholders constituted approximately 85% of Tamandare’s 1,333,334 issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the Share Exchange. Upon completion of the Share Exchange, Tonix Sub became Tamandare’s wholly-owned subsidiary and in October 2011 Tamandare was renamed Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. As the owners and management of Tonix Sub obtained voting and operating control of Tamandare after the Share Exchange and Tamandare was non-operating, had no assets or liabilities and did not meet the definition of a business, the transaction has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Tonix Sub, accompanied by the issuance of its common stock for outstanding common stock of Tamandare, which was recorded at a nominal value. The accompanying financial statements and related notes give retroactive effect to the recapitalization as if it had occurred on June 7, 2007 (inception date) and accordingly all share and per share amounts have been adjusted.
 
On April 23, 2013, Tonix Sub formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Tonix Pharmaceuticals (Canada), Inc., in the province of New Brunswick, Canada for the purpose of obtaining research and development credits from the Canadian government for any research and development studies performed in Canada.
 
Tonix Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as the “Company”.
