SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They include the accounts of Alterola and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ABTI Pharma, Phytotherapeutix Ltd, Ferven Ltd and its majority-owned subsidiary, Phytanix Bio. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements and the notes attached hereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company, as of September 30, 2024, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months then ended have been included.

The Company had a September 30 fiscal year end. Subsequent to the Agreement with ABTI Pharma, the Company has changed its year end from September 30 to March 31.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Equivalents

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Alterola’s consolidated financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and loans payable – related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value (“FV”) due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

FV is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The FV should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the FV of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.

In addition to defining FV, the disclosure requirements around FV establish a FV hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring FV are observable in the market. Each FV measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the FV measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The FV are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and notes payable are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their FV due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.

Foreign Currency Translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in US Dollars. Transactions with foreign subsidiaries where US dollars are not the functional currency will be recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830 Foreign Currency Transaction. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity (deficit) is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Revenue Recognition

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606 compared to Topic 605.

Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for at FV in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.

Research and development

We engage in a variety of research and development activities to develop our technologies and work toward development of a saleable product. When it is determined that the research and development products we are creating have reached a point where saleable products are possible, these amounts are capitalized. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 there are no capitalized research and development costs.

The research and development costs incurred by the company relate to the following:

· Licenses for patent and know-how (Nano 4 M) - this relates to the company’s formulation of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for its lead pharmaceutical programs.

· Protein Technologies Ltd – this relates to the company’s research into production of cannabinoids by biosynthesis (as opposed to botanical production by growing plants). The company has genetically modified an organism to produce cannabinoids by fermentation (similar to methodology used for the production of antibiotics)

· Apex Molecular Ltd.- the company has a number of pharmaceutical development programs using both novel and natural molecules. The Company employs third party chemistry / contract, manufacturing companies such as Apex Molecular Ltd. to synthesize and purify these compounds for their pharmaceutical development programs.

· Acquisition of intellectual property from Alinova Biosciences Ltd.

· Continued patent prosecution and internationalization of company intellectual property.

· Staff costs and consultancy costs relating to R & D.

Noncontrolling interests

The Company follows ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation,” governing the accounting for and reporting of noncontrolling interests (“NCI”) in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and the loss of\d control of subsidiaries. Certain provisions of this standard indicate, among other things, that NCI be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability, that increases and decreases in the parent’s ownership interest that leave control intact be treated as equity transactions rather than as step acquisitions or dilution gains or losses, and that losses of a partially-owned consolidated subsidiary be allocated to noncontrolling interests even when such allocation might result in a deficit balance. The net loss attributed to NCI was separately designated in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Losses attributable to NCI in a subsidiary may exceed a NCI’s interests in the subsidiary’s equity. The excess attributable to NCI is attributed to those interests. NCI shall continue to be attributed their share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit NCI balance.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company have recorded the assets acquired as part of the C2 Wellness acquisition as indefinite lived Intangible assets. Indefinite life intangible assets recorded are not amortized and, as a result, are assessed for impairment at least annually, using either a qualitative or quantitative process. The C2 Wellness assets that were acquired were subsequently re-sold as discussed above. The Company performed this annual assessment as of March 31, 2024, noting impairment factors indicating possible impairment of intangible assets recognized and recorded impairment of $392,278.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Alterola does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
