NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – PRESENTATION, NATURE OF BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
Nature of Business
The Company, prior to December 12, 2011, was involved in the business of exploiting new technologies for the production of clean energy. The Company is now moving in the direction of a diversified biotechnology company. The mission of the company is to acquire a diversified portfolio of biotechnological technologies. The Company’s current revenue was generated from the Company’s natural wellness cannabis complement line launched in August 2014.
In May 2011, the Company had entered into an exclusive memorandum of understanding with Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. (“ITL”) (an Israeli company) whereby the Company would acquire a subsidiary of ITL. On December 12, 2011, the Company terminated this memorandum of understanding and entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with ITL, pursuant to which the Company received an immediate exclusive and worldwide license to commercialize all the Licensed Products based on ITL’s current and future patents and a patent in-licensed from the University of Arizona. The license granted covers two experimental products for the treatment of cancer in clinical development called AlloStim TM and Allo Vax TM (“Licensed Products”). On May 8, 2012, the Company changed its name to Immunovative, Inc. to better reflect its new direction on the development and commercialization of the next generation of immunotherapy treatments.
On January 8, 2013, the Company received from ITL, a notice by which ITL purported to terminate the License Agreement dated December 9, 2011 between the Company and ITL (the “ITL Notice”), along with alleged damages. It is the Company’s position that ITL breached the License Agreement by delivering the ITL Notice and, that prior to the ITL Notice, the License Agreement was in full force and, on January 17, 2013, and that the Company had complied in all material respects with the License Agreement and therefore the Company believes that there are no damages to ITL. As such, on January 17, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against ITL, which included the request for various injunctive relief against ITL for damages stemming from this breach. On February 19, 2013, the Company and ITL entered into a settlement agreement whereby the parties have agreed to the following: (1) the Company will submit a letter to the Court advising the Court that the parties have reached a settlement and that the Company is withdrawing its motion, (2) ITL will pay the Company $20,000, (3) ITL will issue to the Company, ITL’s share capital equivalent to 9% of the issued and outstanding shares of ITL, (4) the Company will change its name and (5) the settling parties agree that the license agreement will be terminated.
On March 13, 2013, the Company changed its name to Tauriga Sciences, Inc. to better reflect its new direction. The Company traded under the symbol “TAUG” beginning April 9, 2013.
On May 31, 2013, the Company signed a Licensing Agreement with Green Hygienics, Inc. (“GHI”) to enable the Company, on an exclusive basis for North America, to market and sell 100% tree-free, bamboo-based, biodegradable, hospital grade wipes, as well as other similar products. The Company contracted to pay $250,000 for the licensing rights. In addition, the Company issued 4,347,826 shares of its common stock to GHI whereas GHI’s parent company, Green Innovations Ltd. (“GNIN”) has issued the Company 625,000 shares of common stock of GNIN, valued at $250,000. The Company paid $143,730 in cash to GHI and, in lieu of the remaining $106,270 to be paid in cash the Company issued an additional 2,500,000 shares of its common stock for the licensing rights. See Note 4.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On October 29, 2013, the Company entered into a strategic alliance with Bacterial Robotics, LLC (Bacterial Robotics). Bacterial Robotics owns certain patents and/or other intellectual property related to the development of genetically modified micro-organisms (GMOs) and GMOs tailored to perform one or more specific functions, one such GMO being adopted to clean polluting molecules from nuclear waste, such GMO being referred herein as the existing BactoBot Technology (the BR Technology). Bacterial Robotics is developing a whitepaper to deliver to the Company for acceptance. Upon acceptance by the Company, the parties will form a strategic relationship through the formation of a joint venture in which the Company will be the majority and controlling owner which will use the NuclearBot Technology to further the growth of the nuclear wastewater treatment market. The intent is for Bacterial Robotics to issue a 10 year license agreement. In connection with the strategic alliance agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 75,000,000 shares of its common stock valued at $1,100,000 and paid an additional $50,000 in cash.
On November 25, 2013, the Company executed a definitive agreement to acquire Pilus Energy, LLC (“Pilus”), a Ohio limited liability company and a developer of alternative cleantech energy platforms using proprietary microbial solutions that creates electricity while consuming polluting molecules from wastewater. Pilus is converging digester, fermenter, scrubber, and other proven technologies into a scalable Electrogenic Bioreactor (“EBR”) platform. This transformative technology is the basis of the Pilus Cell™. The EBR harnesses genetically enhanced bacteria, also known as bacterial robots, or BactoBots™, that remediate water, harvest direct current (“DC”) electricity, and produce economically important gases. The EBR accomplishes this through bacterial metabolism, specifically cellular respiration of nearly four hundred carbon and nitrogen molecules. Pilus’ highly metabolic bacteria are non-pathogenic. Because of the mediated biofilm formation, these wastewater-to-value BactoBots resist heavy metal poisoning, swings of pH, and survive in a 4-to-45 degree Celsius temperature range. Additionally, the BactoBots are anaerobically and aerobically active, even with low BOD/COD. On January 28, 2014, the acquisition was completed. Pilus will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As a condition of the acquisition, Pilus will get one seat on the board of directors, and the shareholders of Pilus will receive a warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, which represented a fair market value of approximately $2,000,000. In addition, the Company paid Bacterial Robotics, LLC (“BRLLC”), formerly the parent company of Pilus, $50,000 on signing the memorandum of understanding and $50,000 at the time of closing. The Company has concluded that the acquisition of Pilus Energy, LLC is to be treated as the purchase of an asset.
On March 26, 2014, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Pilus Energy, LLC, has commenced a five-phase, $1,700,000 commercial pilot test with the Environmental Protection Agency utilizing Chicago Bridge and Iron Company’s Federal Services serving as the third-party-contractor through the EPA’s Test and Evaluation Facility. This five phase commercial pilot will include significant testing of the Pilus Energy Electrogenic Bioreactor Synthetic Biology Platform for generating value from wastewater.
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire California based Honeywood, LLC, a developer of a tropical medicinal cannabis product which is a therapeutic cream that currently sells in numerous dispensaries across the State of California. This definitive agreement is valid for a period of 120 days and the Company has advanced to Honeywood approximately $175,000 in cash and incurred legal fees and other costs of approximately $249,000 through September 24, 2014.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On July 15, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of California-based medicinal cannabis firm Honeywood LLC (“Honeywood”), the formulator for Doc Green’s topical cannabis cream and for other products. Under terms of the completed acquisition agreement, Honeywood will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The final acquisition terms result in stakeholders of Honeywood receiving 15.5% of Tauriga Sciences non-diluted shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to closing. Honeywood’s principals have the opportunity to collectively earn up to an additional aggregate equal to 10% of Tauriga’s common stock outstanding (utilizing the same initial Closing Date) upon achieving the following gross revenue based milestones: upon the generation and receipt of $2,000,000 USD of gross revenues derived strictly from the sale and licensing of Honeywood’s products, the three Honeywood principals shall each be issued either restricted stock or stock options equal to 1.6666% shares of Common Stock of Tauriga; upon the generation and receipt of an additional $2,000,000 USD ($4,000,000 USD total gross revenues by Honeywood), its three principals shall each be issued an additional 1.6666% shares of Common Stock of Tauriga (each such additional issuance to be set off the outstanding shares immediately prior to the Closing Date).
In connection with the Honeywood acquisition, the Company entered into employment agreements with three Honeywood executives effective upon closing. The agreements are for a term of three years and provide for monthly payments of $7,000 each, an aggregate of $21,000, and commissions based on new business generated, as defined in the agreements.
On September 24, 2014, the Company, Honeywood, and each of the Honeywood executives entered into an agreement to unwind the acquisition and the transactions entered into therewith, including a refund of certain advances made by the Company to Honeywood. As a result, the acquisition agreement and employment agreements with the Honeywood executives were terminated and Honeywood issued a secured promissory note to the Company in the amount of $170,000. The note is to be paid, together with interest thereon of 6% from October 1, 2014, in six quarterly installments commencing on March 31, 2015 and ending on June 30, 2016. The promissory note is secured by all of the assets of Honeywood, as defined in the security agreement. The Company and Honeywood also entered into a license agreement (See Note 8).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2014 annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 14, 2014.
Going Concern
As indicated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred net operating losses of $3,395,155 for the six months ended September 30, 2014. Since inception of development stage, the Company has incurred net losses of $29,118,319. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through equity markets to fund future operations and cultivating new license agreements or acquiring ownership in medical companies. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses, acquire new license agreements or ownership interests in medical companies and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenues will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Consolidated Financial Statements
The financial statements include the accounts and activities of Tauriga Sciences, Inc. and its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Tauriga Canada, Inc. (formerly known as Immunovative Canada, Inc.) All inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Foreign Currency Translation
Commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company considers the U.S. dollar to be its functional currency. Prior to March 31, 2012, the Company considered the Canadian dollar to be its functional currency. Assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Statement of operations amounts were translated using the average rate during the year. Gains and losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements were included in accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss, a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At September 30, 2014, the Company had $250,787 in cash at one financial institution which exceeded the total insurance limit of $250,000 by $787. At March 31, 2014, the Company had $553,785 and $259,122 in cash at two financial institutions, which exceeded the FDIC insured limit of $250,000 by $303,785 and $9,122, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of finished goods and is stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Routine maintenance, repairs and replacement costs are expensed as incurred and improvements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. When property and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in operations.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of licensing fees and a patent which are stated at cost. Licenses are amortized over the life of the agreement and patents are amortized over the remaining life of the patent at the date of acquisition.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260 Earnings per Share (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to Common Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock equivalents outstanding during the periods. A fully diluted calculation is not presented since the results would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Any stock options or warrants issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and an offset to additional paid-in capital in shareholders’ equity/(deficit) over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options or warrants at the end of each period.
The Company issues stock to consultants for various services. The costs for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (1) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The Company recognized consulting expense and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted ASC 211-05 effective January 1, 2012 which requires entities to report comprehensive income within a continuous statement of comprehensive income.
Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability method of accounting. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates in effect in years in which differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are expected to be realized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. The Company will perform a periodic assessment of assets for impairment in the absence of such information or indicators. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company would recognize an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.
Research and Development
The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs were $18,425 and $60,425 in the three and six months ended September 30, 2014. There were no research and development costs in the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.
Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.
The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:
Level 1- fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities);
Level 2- fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3- fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Financial instruments classified as Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets include cash.
These consolidated financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

TAURIGA SCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(Formerly Immunovative, Inc. and Subsidiary)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2014. The respective carrying value of certain financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible debentures are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model we use for determining fair value of our derivatives is the Monte Carlo Pricing Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company utilized an expected life ranging from 66 days to 325 days based upon the look-back period of its convertible debentures and notes and volatility in the range of 168% to 196%.
Uncertainty in Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.
ASC 740 “Income Taxes” clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by ASC 740 and concluded that the tax position of the Company does not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold as of September 30, 2014.

Restatement for Correction of an Accounting Error
The consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to reflect a correction of an accounting error related to the remeasurement of the derivative liability as at September 30, 2013 and the related change in the derivative liability for the period then ended.. We are restating the September 2013 consolidated financial statements to reflect this correction. The correction results in a reduction of other expense and net loss of $63,515 and $54,016 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013.

In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation” (ASU 2014-10). ASU 2014-10 removes all incremental financial reporting requirements regarding development-stage entities, including the removal of Topic 915 from the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. In addition, ASU 2014-10 adds an example disclosure in Risks and Uncertainties (Topic 275) to illustrate one way that an entity that has not begun planned operations could provide information about risks and uncertainties related to the company’s current activities. ASU 2014-10 also removes an exception provided to development-stage entities in Consolidations (Topic 810) for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity. Effective with the first quarter of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, the presentation and disclosure requirements of Topic 915 will no longer be required. The revisions to Consolidation (Topic 810) are effective the first quarter of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We have not determined the potential effects on our financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 will be applied using one of two retrospective methods. The effective date will be the first quarter of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. We have not determined the potential effects on our financial statements.

License Agreements:
Immunovative Therapies, Ltd.
On December 12, 2011, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Immunovative Therapies, Ltd., an Israeli Corporation (“ITL”), pursuant to which the Company received an immediate exclusive and worldwide license to commercialize all product candidates (the “Licensed Products”) based on ITL’s current and future patents and a patent in-licensed from the University of Arizona. The license granted covers two experimental products for the treatment of cancer in clinical development called AlloStim TM and Allo Vaz TM (“Licensed Products”).
On January 8, 2013, the Company received from ITL, a notice by which ITL purported to terminate the License Agreement dated December 9, 2011 between the Company and ITL (the “ITL Notice”), along with alleged damages. It is the Company’s position that ITL breached the License Agreement by delivering the ITL Notice and, that prior to the ITL Notice, the License Agreement was in full force and, on January 17, 2013 and that the Company had complied in all material respect with the License Agreement therefore the Company believes that there are no damages to ITL. As such, on January 17, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against ITL, which included the request for various injunctive relief against ITL for damages stemming from this breach. On February 19, 2013, the Company and ITL entered into a settlement agreement whereby the parties have agreed to the following: (1) the Company will submit a letter to the Court advising the Court that the parties have reached a settlement and that the Company is withdrawing its motion, (2) ITL will pay the Company $20,000, (3) ITL will issue to the Company, ITL’s share capital equivalent to 9% of the issued and outstanding shares of ITL, (4) the Company will change its name and (5) the settling parties agree that the license agreement will be terminated. No value has been assigned to the ITL shares received, as they are deemed to be worthless. The Company, based upon its evaluation of the ITL financial statement, considered its investment in ITL to be impaired as the ITL Company had negative net worth and the funds advanced were being utilized for research, development and testing.

NOTE 5 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND NOTES PAYABLE
Convertible Notes Payable Institutions
During the year ended March 31, 2014, the Company entered into a number (approximately 30) of convertible note debentures and recorded gross proceeds of $2,037,000 with interest rates ranging from 5% to 12%. All of the note agreements have conversion features which allow the note holder to convert the debenture into common stock of the Company. The conversion price, which is discounted, is based upon either the lowest trading price for a period ranging between 20 and 25 days prior to the date of the notice of conversion or an average of the previous 20 to 25 days prior to conversion. Due to the variable characteristic of the notes, the Company has concluded that a derivative liability existed at the date of issuance and accordingly has recorded a derivative liability for each note. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, 13 notes were converted to common stock and one was paid in cash. As of September 30, 2014, and March 31, 2014, one and fifteen convertible notes, respectively, were outstanding. The balance of the convertible notes at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 is $39,974 and $263,917, respectively. The related derivative liability is $59,991 and $1,581,119 at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The Company has reserved 18,412,000 shares of common stock for conversion on this note.
Convertible Notes Payable to Individuals
The Company at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, has $48,775 and $56,425, respectively, of notes payable to individuals. The notes are convertible into common stock of the company at $0.025 per share. The interest rate is 8% per annum and the notes are unsecured. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, three notes were converted to common stock.
Other
On October 19, 2012, the Company entered into a one year convertible promissory note agreement for $445,000 with JMJ Financial, a California based institutional investor. The note is non-interest bearing for the first 90 days and subsequent to that, the note has an interest rate of 5% per annum. The note, at the holder’s option, is convertible at $0.15 per share and if the price per share at the time of conversion is greater than $0.15 per share, on average for the previous 25 trading days, the conversion rate shall have a 25% discount, with the minimum price of $0.15 per share. The Company paid an origination fee of 200,000 shares of its common stock to secure the loan. On November 14, 2012, the Company received $150,000 and an additional $25,000 on March 27, 2013. The 25% discount created a beneficial conversion feature at the commitment date aggregating $37,500 representing a discount which is being accreted monthly from the issuance date of the note through maturity and is recorded as additional interest expense. At March 31, 2013, the loan balance was $106,425, net of unamortized discount of $68,575. On June 3, 2013 the Company issued 9,900,000 shares of its common stock to convert the note. Under the terms of the original agreement, approximately 4,125,000 shares were required to be issued. To entice the conversion, the Company issued an additional 5,775,000 shares resulting in a loss on conversion of $321,000 in the six months ended September 30, 2013.
NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTIES
On May 31, 2013, the Company executed a licensing agreement with GHI (see Notes 1 and 4). The Company’s former CFO, Bruce Harmon, is also the CFO and Chairman of Green Innovations Ltd., the parent company of GHI.

Legal Matters
ITL
On January 8, 2013, the Company received from ITL, a notice by which ITL purported to terminate the License Agreement dated December 9, 2011 between the Company and ITL (the “ITL Notice”), along with alleged damages. It is the Company’s position that ITL breached the License Agreement by delivering the ITL Notice and, that prior to the ITL Notice, the License Agreement was in full force and, on January 17, 2013 and that the Company had complied in all material respect with the License Agreement therefore the Company believes that there are no damages to ITL. As such, on January 17, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against ITL, which included the request for various injunctive relief against ITL for damages stemming from this breach. On February 19, 2013, the Company and ITL entered into a settlement agreement whereby the parties have agreed to the following: (1) the Company will submit a letter to the Court advising the Court that the parties have reached a settlement and that the Company is withdrawing its motion, (2) ITL will pay the Company $20,000, (3) ITL will issue to the Company, ITL’s share capital equivalent to 9% of the issued and outstanding shares of ITL, (4) the Company will change its name and (5) the settling parties agree that the license agreement will be terminated.
On September 5, 2014, the Company’s transfer agent issued to Typenex Co-Investment, LLC (“Typenex”) 70,080,714 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) without a restrictive legend pursuant to a demand letter by Typenex to the transfer agent under a purported warrant issued in connection and arising from a convertible promissory note issued by the Company to Typenex on June 24, 2013 and subsequently terminated by an exchange and release agreement between the Company and Typenex on March 21, 2014. In response to its transfer agent’s actions, the Company filed for a preliminary injunction against Typenex and its transfer agent on September 8, 2014 in the Circuit Court for the 13th Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsbourgh County Florida (the “Court”), Case No. 12-CA-009076. On September 9, 2014, the Court issued the preliminary injunction requested by the Company against its transfer agent and Typenex. On October 9, 2014, subsequent to a hearing before the Court on September 3, 2014 requested by Typenex to vacate the preliminary injunction, the Court denied the request to vacate the injunction, indicating the Company had a substantial likelihood of success on the merits. The Court further ordered that the Shares be treated as cancelled on the books of the Company’s transfer agent. The Company believes all of Typenex’s claims to the Shares are frivolous and without merit. Additionally, the Company is contemplating the claims it has against Typenex. At the time of this filing, the potential cost of this litigation cannot be accurately estimated.

NOTE 9 – PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured based on the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences are included in the Company’s tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets consist of the following:
September 30, 2014 | March 31, 2014 | |||||||
Net operating losses | 2,700,000 | $ | 2,200,000 | |||||
Impairment of assets | 1,800,000 | 1,800,000 | ||||||
Valuation allowance | (4,500,000 | ) | (4,000,000 | ) | ||||
- | $ | - |
At March 31, 2014, the Company had a U.S. net operating loss carryforward in the approximate amount of $6,700,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2034. The Company established valuation allowances equal to the full amount of the deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods. The Company also has a Canadian carry forward loss which approximates $600,000 and is available to offset future taxable income through 2034. The valuation allowance increased by $500,000 and $1,500,000 in the six months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended March 31, 2014, respectively.
A reconciliation of the Company’s effective tax rate as a percentage of income before taxes and the federal statutory rate for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is summarized as follows:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Federal statutory rate | (34.0 | )% | (34.0 | )% | ||||
State income taxes, net of federal benefits | (3.3 | ) | (3.3 | ) | ||||

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
We are a Florida corporation formed on April 8, 2001. We were originally organized to be a blank check company.
On June 8, 2009, the Board of Directors approved the change of name to “Novo Energies Corporation”. As described in a report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2009, a majority of shareholders executed a written consent in lieu of an Annual Meeting (the “Written Consent”) effecting the change of the name of our business from “Atlantic Wine Agencies, Inc.” to “Novo Energies Corporation” on June 8, 2009 to better reflect what we then intended to be our future operations. We filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation on June 8, 2009 with the Florida Secretary of State to affect this name change after receiving the requisite corporate approval.
On June 23, 2009, the Board of Directors approved a 3-for-1 forward stock split. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted in the accompanying financial statements.
On July 30, 2009, Novo Energies Corporation (“Novo”) formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, WTL Renewable Energy, Inc. (“WTL”). WTL was established as a Canadian Federal Corporation whose business is to initially research available technologies capable of transforming plastic and tires into useful energy commodities. Simultaneously, WTL also intended to plan, build, own, and operate renewable energy plants throughout Canada utilizing a third party technology and using plastic and tire waste as feedstock. On May 8, 2012, the name was changed to Immunovative Canada, Inc.
On May 17, 2011, Novo entered into an exclusive memorandum of understanding with Immunovative Clinical Research, Inc. (“ICRI”), a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Immunovative Therapies, Ltd. (“ITL”), an Israeli corporation pursuant to which the Company and ICRI intended to pursue a merger resulting in Novo owning ICRI.
In April 2012, the Board of Directors approved the change of name to “Immunovative, Inc.” As described in a report filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2012, a majority of shareholders executed a written consent in lieu of an Annual Meeting (the “Written Consent”) effecting the change of the name of our business from “Novo Energies Corporation” to “Immunovative, Inc.” on April 2, 2012 to better reflect what we then intended to be our future operations. We filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation on April 30, 2012 with the Florida Secretary of State to affect this name change after receiving the requisite corporate approval.
On January 8, 2013, the Company received from ITL, a notice by which ITL purported to terminate the License Agreement dated December 9, 2011 between the Company and ITL (the “ITL Notice”), along with alleged damages. It is the Company’s position that ITL breached the License Agreement by delivering the ITL Notice and, that prior to the ITL Notice, the License Agreement was in full force and, on January 17, 2013 and that the Company had complied in all material respect with the License Agreement therefore the Company believes that there are no damages to ITL. As such, on January 17, 2013, the Company filed a lawsuit against ITL, which included the request for various injunctive relief against ITL for damages stemming from this breach.

On February 19, 2013, the Company and ITL entered into a settlement agreement whereby the parties have agreed to the following: (1) the Company will submit a letter to the Court advising the Court that the parties have reached a settlement and that the Company is withdrawing its motion, (2) ITL will pay the Company $20,000, (3) ITL will issue to the Company, ITL’s share capital equivalent to 9% of the issued and outstanding shares of ITL, (4) the Company will change its name and (5) the settling parties agree that the license agreement will be terminated.
On March 13, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the change of name to “Tauriga Sciences, Inc.” from “Immunovative, Inc.” We filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation on March 13, 2013 with the Florida Secretary of State to affect this name change after receiving the requisite corporate approval. The Company’s symbol change to “TAUG” was approved by FINRA effective April 9, 2013.
On May 31, 2013, the Company signed an exclusive North American license agreement with Green Innovations, Inc. (“Green Innovations”) for the commercialization of Bamboo-Based “100% Tree Free” products including hospital grade biodegradable disinfectant wipes. This 5 year license agreement functioned such that profits were to be split equally between Tauriga and Green Innovations. In consideration for such agreement Tauriga agreed to pay Green Innovations $250,000 USD and 4,347,826 shares of TAUG common stock. Tauriga received 625,000 shares of Green Innovations common stock as well. The agreement was later amended and completed for the following consideration: Tauriga paid Green Innovations a total of $143,730 USD and an additional 2,500,000 shares of TAUG common stock (for an aggregate share issuance of 6,847,826 shares). As of Year End March 31, 2014, Tauriga has not generated any revenues from the license agreement. And this agreement expires on June 01, 2018.
On October 29, 2013 the Company entered into a Strategic Alliance with Synthetic Biology Pioneer Bacterial Robotics LLC to Develop And Commercialize Industry Specific Bacterial Robots “BactoBots”. Under terms of the Agreement the companies will jointly develop a nuclear industry-specific Bacterial Robot (“BactoBots(TM)”). BactoBots are ubiquitous microscopic robots applicable to therapeutics, wastewater, and chemicals. Specifically, Bacterial Robotics owns a family of intellectual property beginning with U.S Patent # 8,354,267 B2 that relates generally to genetically enhanced bacteria that conduct specific functions. Bacterial Robotics initial focus with Tauriga is developing a proprietary BactoBot to remediate wastewater generated by nuclear energy production.
On November 25, 2013, the Company entered a definitive agreement to acquire Cincinnati, Ohio based Pilus Energy LLC (“Pilus Energy”), a developer of alternative cleantech energy platforms using proprietary microbial solutions that creates electricity while consuming polluting molecules from wastewater. Upon consummation of the proposed transaction, which has been unanimously ratified by Tauriga’s board of directors, Pilus Energy will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tauriga. In addition certain advisors of Pilus Energy will be incorporated into the existing management team of Tauriga and will report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Stella M. Sung. A total of $100,000 was paid by Tauriga to Bacterial Robotics in connection with the execution of this November 2013 definitive agreement for the acquisition of Pilus Energy.
On January 28, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Cincinnati, Ohio based synthetic biology pioneer Pilus Energy LLC (“Pilus Energy”). Structurally Pilus Energy will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Tauriga (pursuant to the terms of the definitive agreement) and will maintain its headquarters location in the State of Ohio. The management of Pilus Energy will report directly to both the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) of Tauriga with the expectation that at least one board seat of Tauriga will be allocated to a Pilus Energy affiliate. The Board of Directors of Tauriga Sciences unanimously approved both the previously announced definitive merger agreement on October 25, 2013 as well as the completion of the acquisition inclusive of amended closing terms. In consideration for early closing of this acquisition, shareholders of Pilus Energy received a warrant to purchase 100,000,000 shares of Tauriga Sciences, Inc. common stock at $0.02 per share.
Both management teams are highly confident that the capital and liquidity needs will be sufficiently met through commitments from existing institutional investors and progress in non-dilutive funding initiatives (i.e., grants, low interest loans). The main benefits in accelerating the closing of this acquisition are to enhance Tauriga’s access to capital markets and enable the intrinsic value of Pilus Energy’s technology to be realized sooner through demonstrable progress in the commercialization process. Pilus Energy utilizes a proprietary clean technology to convert industrial customer “wastewater” into value. This wastewater-to-value (“WTV”) proposition provides customers with substantial revenue-generating and cost-saving opportunities. Pilus Energy is converging digester, fermenter, scrubber, and other proven legacy technologies into a single scalable Electrogenic Bioreactor (“EBR”) platform. This transformative microbial fuel cell technology is the basis of the Pilus Cell(TM). The EBR harnesses genetically enhanced bacteria, also known as bacterial robots, or BactoBots(TM), that remediate water, harvest direct current (DC) electricity, and produce economically important gases and chemicals. The EBR accomplishes this through bacterial metabolism, specifically cellular respiration of nearly four hundred carbon and nitrogen molecules typically called pollutants in wastewater. Pilus Energy’s highly metabolic bacteria are non-pathogenic. Because of the mediated biofilm formation, these wastewater-to-value BactoBots(TM) resist heavy metal poisoning, swings of pH, and survive in a 4-to-45 degree Celsius temperature range. Additionally, the BactoBots(TM) are anaerobically and aerobically active, even with low biological oxygen demand (“BOD”) and chemical oxygen demand (“COD”).

On February 27, 2014, the Company appointed Dr. Stella M. Sung (its previous Chief Operating Officer) to the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). In addition, Dr. Sung maintained her title as Chief Operating Officer as well as Interim Chief Financial Officer. At this time her employment agreement was modified and amended to reflect her new positions with the Company. The outgoing CEO Seth M. Shaw (“Mr. Shaw”) also resigned from the Board of Directors and accepted the position of Vice President, Strategic Planning.
On March 10, 2014, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (“definitive”) to acquire California based Honeywood LLC, developer of a topical medicinal cannabis product (Therapeutic Cream) that currently sells in numerous dispensaries across the state of California. This definitive agreement is valid for a period of 120 days and Tauriga advanced to Honeywood $217,000 USD to be applied towards the final closing requisite cash total and incurred 178,000 in legal fees as of march 31, 2014 in connection with the acquisition.
On March 26, 2014, the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Pilus Energy LLC (“Pilus Energy”) has commenced a five-phase, $1,700,000 USD commercial pilot test (“commercial pilot”) with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), utilizing Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. (NYSE:CBI) (“CB&I”) Federal Services serving as the third-party-contractor through the EPA’s Test and Evaluation (“T&E”) facility. This five phase commercial pilot will include significant testing of the Pilus Energy Electrogenic Bioreactor (“EBR”) synthetic biology platform for generating value from wastewater. This commercial pilot is of great importance to the Company, because it represents the scale up from the benchtop (laboratory) scale to commercial (industrial) scale. The Metropolitan Sewer District of Greater Cincinnati (“MSDGR”), which is co-located with EPA’s T&E facility, will host the commercial scale EBR prototype at its main treatment plant in Cincinnati.
On March 17, 2014, Black Mountain Equities submitted a conversion notice for the repayment of $65,000 USD principal amount. This conversion for a total of 11,500,000 TAUG shares was not settled until after the year end March 31, 2014, therefore this debt was not removed from the Company’s balance sheet until the first fiscal quarter 2015. Additionally Black Mountain Equities invested $75,000 USD into the Company’s 6 cent private placement during April 2014 (first fiscal quarter 2015).
On March 26, 2014, JMJ Financial sent a conversion notice to the Company for the repayment of $85,000 USD principal amount ($15,000 USD and $70,000 USD separate Notes). While the request was sent prior to year end, the conversion into 9,083,201 TAUG shares did not occur until April 02, 2014. Therefore the debt was not removed from the Company’s balance sheet until the first fiscal quarter of 2015.
On March 28 2014, The Company notified JMJ Financial that it would repay the final outstanding note in principal amount of $75,000 USD for $83,333.00 USD. The Company did not receive the wire instructions from JMJ Financial until April 01, 2014 and proceeded to wire this $83,333.00 USD cash payment to JMJ Financial on April 02, 2014. Therefore this debt was not removed from the Company’s balance sheet until first fiscal quarter of 2015.
On March 30, 2014, the Company notified Redwood Capital that it would repay the final outstanding note in principal amount of $60,000 USD for $77,615.00 USD. On April 14, 2014, the Company proceeded to wire this $77,615.00 USD cash payment to Redwood Capital. Therefore, this debt was not removed from the Company’s balance sheet until first fiscal quarter of 2015. The Company generated this $77,615 USD through its 6 cent private placement; 1,294,167 Restricted TAUG shares were issued for this $77,615.00 USD.
On April 4, 2014, The Company made a cash payment of $50,000 USD to the law firm of Winston and Strawn LLP to settle ALL remaining outstanding legal debts (the arose from the 2013 litigation with Immunovative Therapies Ltd.). There is no longer any debt owed to this law firm and the Company received such acknowledgment from Winston and Strawn via email.
On April 7, 2014, an institutional investor Group 10 Holdings LLC invested $150,000 USD into the Company’s 6 cent private placement for a total of 2,500,000 Restricted TAUG shares.
On April 30, 2014, the Company repaid and retired a convertible note held by Union Capital for the principal amount of $75,000 USD. This was repaid in full for a cash payment of $75,000 USD and a one time restricted share issuance of 1,500,000 TAUG shares. Therefore this debt was not removed from the Company’s balance sheet until first fiscal quarter of 2015.
Between April 1, 2014 and April 30, 2014 (not reflected in the Year End Results due to the timing of settlements), the Company repaid and retired more than $400,000 USD of convertible notes (principal amounts). This activity will be reflected on the Company’s balance sheet during the first fiscal quarter of 2015 (04/01/2014 - 06/30/2014).
As of July 13, 2014, the Company reported total cash and marketable securities of $664,219.40 USD (of which $33,750 was in the form of marketable securities).

On September 24, 2014, Tauriga Sciences, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), Honeywood LLC, a California limited liability company (“Honeywood”), and Doc Green’s Healing Collective, a California unincorporated nonprofit association (“DGHC,” and together with Honeywood, “Licensor”), entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement was entered into coincident with the consummation of the Unwinding Transaction (as defined in Item 2.01 below) as a result of which Honeywood ceased to be owned by the Company.
Pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensor granted to the Company, its affiliates and designees, a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable right and license to use, offer for sale, sell, import, distribute and otherwise exploit any products offered for distribution by Licensor (“Products”). The Company is free to change, modify, supplement, combine, enhance and otherwise manipulate Products in developing and commercializing its own products and services. Licensor also granted to the Company the nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use Licensor’s trademarks in connection with any Products. Licensor agreed to provide to the Company, its affiliates and designees, Products in such quantities as may be ordered by the Company in the ordinary course of business, and as such Products may be available for delivery. Licensor must fulfill the orders for Products by the Company, its affiliates and designees on a first priority basis when commercially reasonable. The payment, shipping and other terms related to fulfillment of the Company’s orders shall be at Licensor’s then-existing commercial wholesale terms. However, the price shall be Licensor’s wholesale price (for Products of any sort to be shipped for distribution in California, or Products shipped anywhere without Licensor’s trademarks) and Licensor’s wholesale price less a discount for Products for distribution under Licensor’s trademarks outside of California. The Company has a right of first negotiation for a supply agreement with respect to each new Product. Absent an uncured material breach of the License Agreement by the Company, Licensor may not terminate the License Agreement before September 24, 2020. In the event of a default under the Note (as defined below), the Company has the right to set-off against its obligations under the License Agreement any outstanding obligations under the Note.
On July 15, 2014 the Company completed its acquisition of Honeywood pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by Amendment No.1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated July 15, 2014 (collectively, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Doc Greene’s Acquisition Sub, LLC, a limited liability company (“Honeywood Acquiror”), Honeywood, Elie Green (“Green”), Daniel Kosmal (“Kosmal”) and Ramona Rubin (“Rubin” and, collectively with Green and Kosmal, the “Honeywood Principals”). As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Honeywood Acquiror merged with and into Honeywood, with Honeywood being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). In connection with the closing of the Merger, the Company, Honeywood and each of the Honeywood Principals entered a Standstill Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) in which Honeywood and the Honeywood Principals agreed to restrictions on acquisition of additional Company capital stock and transactions involving the Company and each Honeywood Principal entered into an employment agreement with Honeywood (collectively, the “Employment Agreements”). A description of the Merger was contained in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 15, 2014.
On September 24, 2014 (the “Unwinding Date”), the Company, Honeywood and each of the Honeywood Principals entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) to unwind the effects of the Merger (the “Unwinding Transaction”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Standstill Agreement and the Employment Agreements were all terminated. As required by the Termination Agreement, on the Unwinding Date the Company entered into an Assignment of Interest (the “Assignment of Interest”) pursuant to which it conveyed its membership interest in Honeywood to the Honeywood Principals, as a result of which Honeywood ceased to be owned by the Company and became owned again by the Honeywood Principals.
In the Termination Agreement, the Honeywood Principals relinquished their right to any merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including the right to any shares of capital stock of the Company (which had never been formally issued or delivered), and agreed that all indicia of any Company shares issuable as merger consideration reflected on the transfer books of the Company, if any, would be cancelled without any further action by the Honeywood Principals. The shares of the Company that would have been issuable as merger consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement if the Unwinding Transaction had not been consummated consisted of: (i) shares of the Company’s common stock representing approximately 15.457% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the Merger (109,414,235 shares) payable to the Honeywood Principals, (ii) 18,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock payable to a consultant of Honeywood, and (iii) additional shares of the Company’s common stock representing up to 10% of the Company’s outstanding common as of the Merger payable to the Honeywood Principals as an earn-out upon the achievement of certain milestones. Because of the Unwinding Transaction, none of the foregoing shares will be issued by the Company and the stockholders of the Company will not experience the dilution that would have resulted from such issuance.
In accordance with the Termination Agreement, Honeywood agreed to repay to the Company substantially all of the advances made by the Company to Honeywood prior to and after the Merger by delivering to the Company on the Unwinding Date a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $170,000 (the “Note”). The Note bears interest at 6% per annum and is repayable in six quarterly installments on the last day of each calendar quarter starting on March 31, 2015 and ending on June 30, 2016. The Note is secured by a blanket security interest in Honeywood’s assets pursuant to a Security Agreement entered into on the Unwinding Date between Honeywood and the Company (the “Security Agreement”).
The Termination Agreement contains a general release and covenant not to sue pursuant to which the Company, Honeywood and the Honeywood Principals released, and agreed not to sue with respect to, any and all rights they have against each other through the Unwinding Date except for their respective rights under the Termination Agreement, the Assignment of Interest, the Note, the Security Agreement, the License Agreement and the Release and Covenant Not to Sue dated July 15, 2014 entered into in connection with the closing of the Merger. The Termination Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including covenants regarding confidentiality and non-disparagement.
The following Management Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013
Revenue. The Company is currently developing its business and as a result it has not developed a material or consistent pattern of revenue generation. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company generated $10,831 as compared to no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
The revenue was generated from the Company’s natural wellness cannabis compliment line launched in August of 2014. The Company expects to revenue increase slightly in the next quarter. Additionally, the Company is continuing its efforts to commercialize the other aspects of its business, although there can be no guaranty such efforts will result in material revenue production.
Cost of Goods Sold. The Company’s cost of goods sold for the three months ended was $3,018, which resulted in a gross profit for that period of $7,813 at a gross margin of 70.1%. The Company had no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and therefore had no cost of goods sold for that period. The Company expects the gross margin to be relatively consistent in next fiscal quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,512,151 compared to $1,255,029 for the same period in 2013.
Net Loss. We generated net losses of $1,819,547 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,375,412 for the same period in 2013, an increase of 32.2%.
Six months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2013
Revenue. The Company is currently developing its business as a result it has not developed a material or consistent pattern of revenue generation. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, the Company generated $10,831 as compared to no revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2013.
The revenue was generated from the Company’s natural wellness cannabis compliment line launched in August of 2014. The Company expects to revenue increase slightly in the next quarter. Additionally, the Company is continuing its efforts to commercialize the other aspects of its business, although there can be no guaranty such efforts will result in material revenue production.
Cost of Goods Sold. The Company’s cost of goods sold for the six months ended was $3,018, all of which was incurred during the second fiscal quarter, which resulted in a gross profit for those periods of $7,813 at a gross margin of 70.1%. The Company had no revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and therefore had no cost of goods sold for that period. The Company expects the gross margin to be relatively consistent in next fiscal quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. For the six months ended September 30, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,847,292 compared to $3,298,742 for the same period in 2013. The expense for 2014 is primarily composed of stock-based compensation of $1,771,934, professional fees of $424,880, consulting fees of $170,260 and salaries and wages of $43,762.
Net Loss. We generated net losses of $3,395,155 for the six months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $3,836,024 for the same period in 2013, a decrease of 11.5%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We continue to fund our operations through private placement offerings and other financings.
During the six months ending September 30, 2014, the Company sold 26,416,667 shares of common stock for a total of $537,500.
At September 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $404,638 compared to $812,907 at March 31, 2014.
Cash Flows
Net cash used in operating activities amounted to $6,372,104 for the period from December 12, 2011 (inception of Development Stage) to September 30, 2014. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1,071,946 and $1,060,631, respectively.
During the six months ended September 30, 2014, we used $39,394 in investing activities, primarily the acquisition of the license agreement. During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we used $147,579 investing activities primarily related to the purchase of intangible assets.
During the six months ended September 30, 2014, we generated cash from financing activates of $704,167 primarily from the sale of common stock. During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we generated cash from financing activities of $1,263,988 primarily from the sale of common stock under convertible debentures.
We do not believe that our cash on hand at September 30, 2014 will be sufficient to fund our ongoing business operations for more than five months. We will continue to seek additional equity financing. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful in our equity private placements.

Going Concern Qualifications
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had $10,831 in revenue and net losses of $3,395,155 for the six months ended September 30, 2014 compared to no revenue and net loss of $3,836,024 for the six months ended September 30, 2013. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, since inception of the Development Stage (December 12, 2011) the Company had losses of $29,118,319 and there are existing uncertain conditions which the Company faces relative to its obtaining financing and capital in the equity markets. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is highly dependent on its ability to continue to obtain investment capital from future funding opportunities to fund the current and planned operating levels. The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to bring in income generating activities and its ability to continue receiving investment capital from future funding opportunities. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term “disclosure controls and procedures” to mean a company’s controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its chief executive and chief financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC’s rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to the chief executive and Chief financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of such date. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that the Company continues to have the following deficiencies which represent a material weakness:
1. | The Company does not have an Audit Committee; |
2. | Lack of in-house personnel with the technical knowledge to identify and address some of the reporting issues surrounding certain complex or non-routine transactions. With material, complex and non-routine transactions, management has and will continue to seek guidance from third-party experts and/or consultants to gain a thorough understanding of these transactions; |
3. | Insufficient personnel resources within the accounting function to segregate the duties over financial transaction processing and reporting; |
4. | Insufficient written policies and procedures over accounting transaction processing and period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
To remediate our internal control weaknesses, management intends to implement the following measures:
● | The Company will add sufficient number of independent directors to the board and will form an Audit Committee with a qualified person to chair the committee. | |
● | The Company has hired a part-time chief financial officer and will add sufficient accounting personnel to properly segregate duties and to effect a timely, accurate preparation of the financial statements. | |
● | The Company will hire staff technically proficient at applying U.S. GAAP to financial transactions and reporting. | |
● | Upon the hiring of additional accounting personnel, the Company will develop and maintain adequate written accounting policies and procedures. |
9 |
The additional hiring is contingent upon the Company’s efforts to obtain additional funding through equity or debt and the results of its operations. Management expects to secure funds in the coming fiscal year but provides no assurances that it will be able to do so.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect that there are resource constraints and that the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. 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, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

On September 5, 2014, the Company’s transfer agent issued to Typenex Co-Investment, LLC (“Typenex”) 70,080,714 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) without a restrictive legend pursuant to a demand letter by Typenex to the transfer agent under a purported warrant issued in connection and arising from a convertible promissory note issued by the Company to Typenex on June 24, 2013 and subsequently terminated by an exchange and release agreement between the Company and Typenex on March 21, 2014. In response to its transfer agent’s actions, the Company filed for a preliminary injunction against Typenex and its transfer agent on September 8, 2014 in the Circuit Court for the 13th Judicial Circuit in and for Hillsbourgh County Florida (the “Court”), Case No. 12-CA-009076. On September 9, 2014, the Court issued the preliminary injunction requested by the Company against its transfer agent and Typenex. On October 9, 2014, subsequent to a hearing before the Court on September 3, 2014 requested by Typenex to vacate the preliminary injunction, the Court denied the request to vacate the injunction, indicating the Company had a substantial likelihood of success on the merits. The Court further ordered that the Shares be treated as cancelled on the books of the Company’s transfer agent. The Company believes all of Typenex’s claims to the Shares are frivolous and without merit. Additionally, the Company is contemplating the claims it has against Typenex. At the time of this filing, the potential cost of this litigation cannot be accurately estimated.
Not applicable.

All such shares were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
