NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation

Nexien BioPharma, Inc. (the “Company” or “Nexien”) was incorporated in the State of Michigan on November 10, 1952 as Gantos, Inc., was reincorporated in the State of Delaware in 2008, changing its name to Kinder Holding Corp. In October 2017, the Company completed a reverse acquisition of Intiva BioPharma Inc., a Colorado corporation (“BioPharma”), incorporated on March 27, 2017, through an exchange of shares (the “Share Exchange Transaction”) and changed its name to Intiva BioPharma Inc. In September 2018, the Company changed its name to Nexien BioPharma, Inc.

As further described in Note 4, BioPharma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Since this transaction resulted in the existing shareholders of BioPharma acquiring control of the Company, for financial reporting purposes, the business combination has been accounted for as an additional capitalization of the Company (a reverse acquisition with BioPharma as the accounting acquirer). The operations of BioPharma were the only continuing operations of the Company.

BioPharma was incorporated to pursue pre-clinical and drug development activities, in accordance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) protocols, for certain pharmaceutical formulations that include cannabinoids. It is pursuing the formulation and development of drugs containing cannabinoids for the treatment of various diseases, disorders and medical conditions, and owns a license covering certain intellectual property, including certain patent applications, and has filed three of its own provisional patent applications for other drugs that include cannabinoids and other substances, including terpenes, that are intended to be developed with the objective of treating certain medical conditions and disorders. It was formed as a corporate subsidiary of the Colorado corporation Kanativa USA Inc. (“Kanativa USA”), which is a subsidiary of the Ontario, Canada corporation, Kanativa Inc.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include BioPharma and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Intiva BioPharma Inc. (a Colorado corporation), NexN Inc. (“NexN”) and NexDM Inc. (collectively the “Company”), and were prepared from the accounts of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Note 2 - Going Concern Uncertainty

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not established any source of revenue to cover its operating costs, and as such, has incurred an operating loss since inception of $10,836,457. The development of pharmaceuticals with the objective of obtaining approval by the FDA and other international regulatory authorities is not a short-term endeavor for any specific drug candidate. It also requires extremely significant amounts of capital funding for clinical trials and other matters. At March 31, 2022, the Company had negative working capital $63,260. The Company will require significant additional capital to fund the implementation and execution of its business plan. This capital, which likely will be millions of dollars for a single drug candidate, will be required for research, regulatory applications, and clinical trials. At the present time, the Company has a funding commitment which will enable it to continue its research operations for approximately the next twelve months. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from the estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash or cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets including equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The Company’s primary measure of fair value is based on discounted cash flows. The measurement of impairment requires management to make estimates of these cash flows related to long-lived assets, as well as other fair value determinations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. FASB ASC 825 defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the carrying value of certain financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments or interest rates, which are comparable with current rates.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures fair value under a framework that utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs which prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value are:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

	●	Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
	●	Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;
	●	Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
	●	Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

NEXIEN BIOPHARMA, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

The assets or liabilities fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

When the Company changes its valuation inputs for measuring financial assets and liabilities at fair value, either due to changes in current market conditions or other factors, it may need to transfer those assets or liabilities to another level in the hierarchy based on the new inputs used. The Company recognizes these transfers at the end of the reporting period that the transfers occur. For the periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, there were no significant transfers of financial assets or financial liabilities between the hierarchy levels.

As at March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, no assets or liabilities were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Earnings per Common Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earning per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Stock-based compensation

Pursuant to FASB ASC 718, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values.

Issuance of shares for non-cash consideration

The Company accounts for the issuance of equity instruments to acquire goods and/or services based on the fair value of the goods and services or the fair value of the equity instrument at the time of issuance, whichever is more reliably determinable. The Company’s accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of the standards issued by the FASB. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined as the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor’s performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company did not have any applicable convertible debt as of the beginning of its fiscal year on July 1, 2021, and has elected to adopt the guidance under ASU 2020-06 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The adoption of this guidance and had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Although there are several other new accounting pronouncements issued or proposed by the FASB, which the Company has adopted or will adopt, as applicable, the Company does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Management has evaluated accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective as of March 31, 2022 and does not expect such pronouncements to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations, or cash flows.

Note 4 – Share Exchange Agreement

On August 8, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement, as amended and restated on October 13, 2017 (the “Agreement”), with BioPharma. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the shareholders of BioPharma 42,642,712 post-reverse stock-split shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”), in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of BioPharma capital stock, thereby making BioPharma a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As part of the Closing of the Agreement, the 20,000,000 pre-reverse split shares of the Company’s Common Stock previously purchased by Kanativa USA, effective on June 26, 2017 in a change in control transaction from the Company’s control shareholders, were canceled. Since this transaction resulted in the existing shareholders of BioPharma acquiring control of the Company, for financial reporting purposes, the business combination has been accounted for as an additional capitalization of the Company (a reverse acquisition with BioPharma as the accounting acquirer).

Note 5 – License Agreements

Accu-Break License Agreement

On February 28, 2018, the Company obtained a worldwide exclusive license with respect to a proprietary delivery system for cannabinoid-based medications from Accu-Break Pharmaceuticals Inc (Accu-Break), whose President was an affiliate of the Company as of the date of the agreement. Upon execution of the agreement, as amended September 18, 2018, $35,000 was paid to the licensor; an additional $30,000 was paid in cash during the year ended June 30, 2019; and a final payment of $35,000 was paid in common stock of the Company during the year ended June 30, 2020. The Company is required to pay milestone payments upon obtaining regulatory approval of pharmaceutical licensed products and royalties based upon sales of licensed products. The Company may grant sublicenses under the terms of the agreement.

The Company had previously estimated that it may not be able to recover the $65,000 of costs capitalized under the Accu-Break License Agreement, and recognized an impairment of $65,000 for the license at June 30, 2019. The $35,000 value of common stock issued in the year ended June 30, 2020 was charged to operations. Although the Company has recognized an impairment under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, it retains its rights under the AccuBreak license agreement.

Note 6– Stockholders’ Equity

Common stock

In January 2022, the Company issued 2,250,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $0.001 per share, pursuant to the exercise of a warrant granted to an unrelated party. The Company received cash proceeds of $2,250.

In connection with the issuance of a convertible note with Quick Capital, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Quick Capital”) (See Note 7), the Company issued 500,000 restricted shares of common stock and a three-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 347,512 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.075 per share (the “Warrant Shares”). The shares issued were valued at $0.053 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as of the date of issuance.

In May 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company to each of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with 250,000 of such shares to be issued to each of them every quarter beginning July 1, 2021 and continuing every three months through October 1, 2023, it being the intent of the Board that the issuance of these shares represents compensation for services rendered for the then completed calendar quarter. At March 31, 2022, the Company has included as a component of Stockholders’ Equity the $35,000 fair value of the aggregate 500,000 shares issued in April 2022 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued, pursuant to the agreement, an aggregate 1,500,000 shares, valued at $105,000.

CRX Limited Liability Company Interest Purchase Agreement

On October 26, 2018, Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the members of CRx Bio Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CRx”), to acquire all of the membership interest in CRx in exchange for 11,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Acquisition”), valued at $0.76 per share. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition, and not a business combination, and has been valued at the fair value of the common stock issued by the Company, as CRx’s cost basis was $0 in the assets. CRx was engaged in the research and development of advanced cannabinoid formulations and drug delivery systems with a focus on bioavailability and related pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) enhancement. The Acquisition transaction was consummated on October 26, 2018. By acquiring CRx as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company acquired all of its assets, which consist primarily of three U.S. provisional patent applications relating to cannabinoid formulations to treat convulsive disorders, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, and neuropathic pain. At the closing, the Company issued to the six members of CRx (the “Sellers”) 1,100,000 shares not subject to any forfeiture restrictions and 9,900,000 shares which were to be released from forfeiture restrictions in three equal tranches upon each anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition.

Any Seller who was not then providing services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries on any vesting date, whether through voluntary termination or termination “for cause,” would forfeit his unvested shares, which would be cancelled.

The transaction was valued at $8,360,000, based on the fair value of the 11,000,000 shares issued of $0.76 per share, as per the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the agreement. The $836,000 fair value of the 1,100,000 shares issued not subject to any forfeiture restrictions was charged to operations during the six months ended December 31, 2018. The $7,524,000 fair value of the 9,900,000 shares subject to forfeiture was charged to stockholders’ equity as a contra equity account, and was being amortized over the vesting periods. The net amount charged to stockholder’s equity was $0 on the date of the acquisition.

Effective December 31, 2018, one of the Sellers resigned from the Company and forfeited 1,732,500 unvested shares previously issued. In May 2019, that Seller returned to the Company an additional 142,500 vested shares issued in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The fair value of the returned shares was credited to the operations as of June 30, 2019.

In March 2021, four of the Sellers terminated their relationships with the Company and forfeited their remaining 2,409,000 unvested shares, valued at the original issuance price of $1,830,840 ($0.76 per share).

As at March 31, 2022, all shares issued were fully vested and an aggregate $5,104,159 was charged to operations for the value of vested shares issued and the amortization of the unvested CRX shares. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, $223,255 and $1,034,319, respectively, has been charged to operations for the amortization of unvested CRX shares during each of the periods.

Note 7 – Convertible Notes Payable

Convertible note purchase agreement

On January 18, 2022, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement with Quick Capital pursuant to which the Company issued Quick Capital a twelve-month convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $170,454 (the “Note”) for a $150,000 investment, which included an original issuance discount of 12%. In connection with the Note issuance, Quick Capital was also issued 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock and a three-year warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 347,512 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.075 per share). The Company received the $146,750 net proceeds from the note, after Quick Capital’s legal fees of $3,250.

Quick Capital is entitled to a cash payment of $20,000 as liquidated damages for any failure to include all shares issuable upon the conversion of the Note (the “Conversion Shares”) and the Warrant Shares on any registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For twelve months following the issuance of the Quick Note, Quick Capital will have the right of first refusal to participate in future financings proposed to the Company by bonafide third parties on the same terms as such third parties and participation rights to purchase up to $1,000,000 of securities in other offerings, subject to certain exceptions.

The Note is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.035 per share. The Note may be prepaid at any time within the first six months at 130% of face value. Thereafter, the Note can only be prepaid at Quick Capital’s discretion.

If an event of default (as described in the Note) occurs, the Note will become immediately due and payable in an amount equal to 150% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Note plus any interest or amounts owing to Quick Capital.

Note 7 – Convertible Notes Payable (continued)

The Note may not be converted and the Warrant may not be exercised if after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as the case may be, Quick Capital and its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. On or after May 7, 2022 and upon the mutual agreement of the Company and Quick Capital, Quick Capital may purchase additional note(s) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350,000 on similar terms.

The Company has recorded the original issue discount, legal fees, financing shares and warrants of the notes, aggregating $62,806 as a discount to the note. The fair value for the expense portion of the note is being amortized over the term of the note. This fair value has been determined based on the current trading prices of the Company’s common stock. Management has determined that this treatment is appropriate given the uncertain nature of the value of the Company and its stock, and there will be no revaluations until the note is paid or redeemed for stock. During the initial period of the note ended March 31, 2022, $12,389 was charged to operations for amortization of the recorded discount.

Convertible notes payable - related

On November 24, 2020, the Company entered into financing agreements with two individuals, its CEO and a shareholder. Under the agreements, the Company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes due in three years (November 24, 2023) with accrued interest at the rate of 8% per annum, compounded annually. The notes and accrued interest are convertible at the option of the holders at any time into restricted shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.037631, being the volume-weighted average price of the common stock over the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date the notes were funded. The CEO was issued a note in the principal amount of $40,000, which included a $15,000 advance made in October 2020 and an additional loan of $25,000. A stockholder of the Company loaned $25,000 on these terms. Both lenders were also issued three types of warrants, exercisable for a five-year period, at prices of $0.040265, $0.043276, and $0.045157, to purchase a total of 5,181,897 shares (Note 6).

The Company has recorded the conversion feature as a Beneficial Conversion Feature. The fair value of $65,000 for the expense portion of the notes is being amortized over the term of the notes. As the warrants exceeded the value of the notes themselves, the discount is the entire amount of the notes. This fair value has been determined based on the current trading prices of the Company’s common stock. Management has determined that this treatment is appropriate given the uncertain nature of the value of the Company and its stock, and there will be no revaluations until the note is paid or redeemed for stock. During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, $16,205 was charged to operations for amortization during the period of the Beneficial Conversion Feature.

Note 8 – Related Party Transactions

BioPharma was formed as a subsidiary of Kanativa USA, which is a subsidiary of Kanativa Inc.

In May 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the issuance of a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company to each of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with 250,000 of such shares to be issued to each of them every quarter beginning July 1, 2021 and continuing every three months through October 1, 2023.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION

Forward-Looking Statements

The following plan of operation provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read along with our financial statements and notes thereto. This section includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Certain statements that the Company may make from time to time, including all statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact, constitute “forward-looking statements”. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “plans,” “expects,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “will,” “should,” and other words of similar meaning used in conjunction with, among other things, discussions of future operations, financial performance, product development and new product launches, market position and expenditures. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help you understand our historical results of operations during the periods presented and our financial condition for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Overview

We are engaged in pursuing pre-clinical and drug development activities for certain pharmaceutical formulations that include cannabinoids. We have filed three provisional patent applications, and acquired a license covering certain intellectual property related to a drug delivery system.

As a relatively new business engaged in start-up operations and activities, we will require substantial additional funding to successfully complete any of our drug development programs. At present, we cannot estimate the substantial capital requirements needed to secure regulatory approvals for our drug candidates. We estimate that we will need to raise at a minimum $50,000 just to maintain our existence as a public company for the remainder of the current calendar year.

We are a start-up company with no revenues from operations. Notwithstanding our successful raise of $2,076,158, net of offering costs, in equity capital since inception to March 31, 2022, and the receipt of $146,750, net of financing costs, from a debt issuance in January 2022, there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months without a significant infusion of capital or entering into a business combination transaction. We do not anticipate that Nexien BioPharma will generate revenues from its research and development activities related to its drug development projects in the near future, due to the protracted revenue model of pursuing pharmaceutical drug development in accordance with the pathway set forth by the FDA. The Company had to cease research and development activities due to the lack of sufficient working capital. In January 2022 the Company received a funding commitment from a third-party lender and will be recommencing research and development activities on its myotonic dystrophy project. While management continues its efforts to raise additional capital for the Company, it is also seeking merger or other business combination or restructuring opportunities.

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to March 31, 2021

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $187,451, an increase in loss of $398,649 from the net income of $211,198 reported for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

General and administrative costs of $153,113 incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2022 includes non-cash charges of $110,264 for the fair value of the warrants granted to an unrelated party for consulting services and $35,000 as the value of non-cash stock-based compensation costs for common shares issued to officers.

General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes a non-cash adjustment of $273,729 to the amortization of the fair value of the shares issued for the acquisition of CRx, as well as non-cash stock-based compensation costs for the period of $33,274 for the fair value of options previously granted. In March 2021, four of the CRx shareholders terminated their relationships with the Company and forfeited their remaining 2,409,000 unvested shares. The reduction in amortization of the fair value of shares issued related to the CRx acquisition of $273,729 is due to an adjustment of the fair value previously recorded for those forfeited shares.

General and administrative expenses, exclusive of non-cash compensation costs, were consistent during the 2022 and 2021 periods, and consisted predominately of costs and expenses associated with the Company’s maintaining its public company status.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $13,696 and $6,233, respectively, for amortization of discount related to the convertible debt financings. Interest expense, all related to convertible debt financings, for the 2022 and 2021 periods was $9,352 and $1,282, respectively. The increase in interest expense for 2022 is attributable to the convertible debt financing of January 2022.

There were no research and development costs for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the Company’s limited financial resources and availability of research personnel.

Professional fees of $11,290 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $2,130 from $9,160 for the period ended March 31, 2021. Fees for the 2022 and 2021 periods consisted of legal fees for securities related matters and fees for auditor quarterly review and other required tax and regulatory filings.

Results of Operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to March 31, 2021

Net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 was $529,356, a decrease of $1,148,900 from the net loss of $1,678,256 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had limited financial resources and substantially all available funds were utilized for maintaining corporate operations as a public company. In January 2022, the Company completed a debt financing agreement resulting in the receipt of $146,750. These funds will be utilized for maintaining corporate operations and continuance of the Company’s research for myotonic dystrophy and myotonia.

General and administrative costs of $464,068 incurred for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 includes non-cash charges of $110,264 for the fair value of the warrants granted to an unrelated party for consulting services, $223,255 for the fair value of the shares issued for the acquisition of CRX Bio Holdings LLC and $105,000 as the value of non-cash stock-based compensation costs for common shares issued to its officers.

General and administrative costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 include a non-cash charge of $1,034,319 for the fair value of the shares issued for the acquisition of CRx, as well as non-cash stock-based compensation costs for the period of $315,350 for the fair value of options granted and $252,104 for the fair value of warrants issued in conjunction with convertible debt financing during the 2021 period. In March 2021, four of the CRx shareholders terminated their relationships with the Company and forfeited their remaining 2,409,000 unvested shares. The reduction in amortization of the fair value of shares issued related to the CRx acquisition of $273,729 is due to an adjustment of the fair value previously recorded for those forfeited shares.

General and administrative expenses, exclusive of non-cash compensation costs, were consistent during the 2022 and 2021 periods, consisting predominately of costs and expenses associated the Company’s maintaining its public company status.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company incurred $24,559 and $7,539, respectively, for amortization of discount related to the convertible debt financings. Interest expense, all related to convertible debt financings, for the 2022 and 2021 periods was $11,959 and $1,937, respectively. The increase in interest expense for 2022 is attributable to the convertible debt financing of January 2022.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase a total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock to officers of the Company, exercisable for a period of seven years at an exercise price of $0.08 per share. No additional options have been granted through March 31, 2022.

Professional fees of $28,770 for the nine months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $3,380 from $32,150 for the nine months ended March 31, 2021. Fees for both the 2022 and 2021 periods consisted of legal fees for securities related matters and fees for annual audit and other required regulatory filings.

There were no research and development costs for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 due to the Company’s limited financial resources and availability of research personnel.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued 750,000 shares of common stock to each of two officers for services rendered to the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $63,260 and cash of $140,217, as compared to a working capital deficit of $13,775 and cash of $18,041 at June 30, 2021. The increase in both working capital and cash was due primarily to additional funding from a convertible debt financing received in January 2022. Substantially all available funds were being utilized solely for maintaining corporate operations as a public company. We used $51,824 of cash for operating activities, and received a $25,000 advance from one of our officers during the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

While management of the Company believes that the Company will be successful in its current and planned activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its drug development activities, and raise sufficient equity, debt capital or strategic relationships to sustain the operations of the Company.

Our ability to create sufficient working capital to sustain us over the next twelve-month period, and beyond, is dependent on our raising additional equity or debt capital, or entering into strategic arrangements with one or more third parties.

There can be no assurance that sufficient capital will be available to us. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

Availability of Additional Capital

Notwithstanding our success in raising gross proceeds of $2.1 million from the private sale of equity securities through March 31, 2022, and the completion of a debt financing agreement resulting in the receipt of $146,750 in January 2022, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be successful in raising additional funds through equity capital and/or debt financings and have adequate capital resources to fund our operations or that any additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms or in amounts required by us. We estimate that we will require at a minimum $50,000 just to maintain our existence as a public company for the remainder of the current calendar year.

Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of Common Stock. Debt or equity financing may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs.

Capital Expenditure Plan During the Next Twelve Months

To date, we raised approximately $2.1 million, in equity capital (including exercised warrants) and $146,750 in debt financings, and we may be expected to require a minimum of $50,000 in capital during the remainder of the current calendar year to continue our existence as a public company. There can be no assurance that we will continue to be successful in raising capital in sufficient amounts and/or at terms and conditions satisfactory to the Company. Our revenues are expected to come from our drug development projects. As a result, we will continue to incur operating losses unless and until we have obtained regulatory approval with respect to one of our drug development projects and commence to generate sufficient cash flow to meet our operating expenses. There can be no assurance that we will obtain regulatory approval and the market will adopt our future drugs. In the event that we are not able to successfully: (i) raise equity capital and/or debt financing; or (ii) market our drugs after obtaining regulatory approval, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.

Going Concern Consideration

Our registered independent auditors have issued an opinion on our financial statements as of June 30, 2021 which includes a statement describing our going concern status. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills and meet our other financial obligations. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin marketing any drugs that we successfully develop. Accordingly, we must raise capital from sources other than the actual sale from any drugs that we develop. We must raise capital to continue our drug development activities and stay in business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2021, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

On February 28, 2018, we obtained a worldwide exclusive license with respect to a proprietary delivery system for cannabinoid-based medications. Upon execution of the agreement, as amended September 18, 2018, $35,000 was paid to the licensor.
