VITRO BIOPHARMA, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2023 AND 2022
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization and Description of Business
Vitro Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 31, 1986, under the name Imperial Management, Inc. On December 17, 1986, the Company merged with Labtek, Inc., a Colorado corporation, with the Company being the surviving entity and the name of the Company was changed to Labtek, Inc. The name was then changed to Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. on February 6, 1987. From November of 1990 through July 31, 2000, the Company was engaged in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of purified human antigens (“Diagnostics”) and related technologies. The Company also developed cell technology including immortalization of certain cells, which allowed entry into other markets besides Diagnostics. In August 2000, the Company sold the Diagnostics business, following which it focused on developing therapeutic products, its stem cell technology, patent portfolio and proprietary technology and cell lines for applications in autoimmune disorders and inflammatory disease processes and stem cell research. On February 3, 2021, the Company filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of the Company to Vitro BioPharma, Inc.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On
June 23, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC (“Form 10-K”). Unless otherwise noted in this Interim Report, there have been no material changes to the disclosures contained in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022 contained in the Form 10-K.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2022, was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current presentation on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fitore, Inc. (“Fitore”) and InfiniVive MD, LLC (“InfiniVive”).
Concentrations
During
the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022,
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.
| 9 |
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
For each performance obligation identified in accordance with ASC 606, the Company determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time (in accordance with paragraphs 606-10-25-27 through 25-29) or satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time (in accordance with paragraph 606-10-25-30). If an entity does not satisfy a performance obligation over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.
Control is considered transferred over time if any one of the following criteria is met:
| ● | The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the asset or service which the entity performs; | |
| ● | The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset; or | |
| ● | The entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset that has no alternative use to the entity and the entity has the right to payment for work completed to date. |
For certain contracts to which the Company is party, it uses the recognition over time method to recognize revenue.
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer at the time of the sale. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sources listed below:
Sale of research and development product: Sales of research and development product include the sale of stem cell medium.
Sale of therapeutic product: Includes cell culture media to be used in therapeutic treatment.
Shipping: Includes amounts charged to customers for shipping products.
Consulting Revenue: The Company has agreed to assist another party to develop an FDA-approved biological product. Revenues are recognized when certain contractual milestones are achieved.
Fitore product sales online: Includes internet sales, via the Fitore Nutrition website, of dietary supplements called Stemulife, Spectrum+, Easy Sleep and Thought Calmer.
| 10 |
InfiniVive product sales: InfiniVive, via call-in orders, sells exosomes and daily cosmetic serum.
Disaggregation of revenue

| Total | $ | $ | ||||||
Deferred Revenue
The Company has recorded deferred revenue in connection with a Joint Operating Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “JOA”) executed between the Company and European Wellness/BIO PEP USA (“BIO PEP”). Pursuant to this JOA, which expired in accordance with its terms on July 31, 2023 and is not expected to be renewed, the Company was obligated to use its best efforts to identify, develop and deliver various potential active pharmaceutical ingredients and to oversee the development of a recombinant cell line by a third-party service provider. The Company was also engaged to establish a Quality Management System to be utilized by BIO PEP in their pursuit of FDA authorizations. Prior to its expiration, our work under the JOA had been suspended since April 2023 pending discussions regarding amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work already completed. If those discussions are unsuccessful, we may not be able to collect all of the amounts believed to be owed to us or the other amounts originally expected to be received by us under the agreement.
The
Company records as deferred revenue amounts for which the Company has been paid but for which it has not yet achieved and delivered related
milestones or when the level of effort required to complete performance obligations under an arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated
under the terms of the related agreement. Deferred revenue is classified as current or long-term based on when management estimates the
revenue will be recognized. As of July 31, 2023, the Company has deferred $

Accounts Receivable
Accounts
receivable consists of amounts due from customers. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses
the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The
Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, total accounts receivable
amounted to $
| 11 |
As
of July 31, 2023, two customers accounted for
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic income or loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the following number of potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from diluted net loss since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
| July 31, 2023 | July 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Stock options outstanding | ||||||||
| Shares to be issued in connection with exercise of warrants | ||||||||
| 2021 Series Convertible Notes Payable - Related Party – common shares | ||||||||

Inventory
Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market. Inventories consisted of the following at the balance sheet dates:
| July 31, 2023 | October 31, 2022 | |||||||
| Raw materials | $ | $ | ||||||
| Finished goods | ||||||||
| Total inventory | $ | $ | ||||||
| 12 |
The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did t record any impairment expense.
Leases
In May 2023, the Company executed a new office lease
for its executive offices, with the lease starting July 1, 2023. The Company recognized an initial operating lease right-of-use asset
of $
Recent Accounting Standards
The Company periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued and has not identified any new standards that it believes merit further discussion or would have a significant impact on its financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going
concern. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and generate additional revenues and profit from operations.
Management plans to address the going concern include but are not limited to raising additional capital through an attempted public and/or private offering of equity securities, as well potentially issuing additional debt instruments. The Company also has various initiatives underway to increase revenue generation through diversified offerings of products and services related to its stem cell technology and analytical capabilities. The goal of these initiatives is to achieve profitable operations as quickly as possible. Various strategic alliances that are ongoing and under development are also critical aspects of management’s overall growth and development strategy. There is no assurance that these initiatives will yield sufficient capital to maintain the Company’s operations. There is no assurance that the ongoing capital raising efforts will be successful. Should management fail to successfully raise additional capital and/or fully implement its strategic initiatives, it may be compelled to curtail part or all of its ongoing operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through various private placements of debt and equity securities.
NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value for financial assets and liabilities that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
● Level 1: Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
● Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; and
● Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash or valuation models.
| 13 |
The financial assets and liabilities are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
As disclosed in Note 7, the two tranches’ of 2023 Series Convertible Notes Payable - Stock Settled Derivative/Warrant Liability required identification and quantification of fair value. The derivative liabilities described below only relate to the warrants included with the two tranches of the 2023 Series Convertible Notes Payable – Stock Settled debt. The estimated fair values as of the issuance date of the two tranches of notes are presented in Note 7.
As of July 31, 2023, the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities are presented in the following table:

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and Convertible Notes Payable. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

The sale and purchase were made through a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) entered into with each investor. The Company followed the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” to account for the stock settled debt and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to account for the derivative related to the notes and also to determine the number of warrants to be issued at the time of the issuance of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, or the June 2023 Notes.
Each
of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes bear interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum and are payable
solely in shares of the Company’s common stock. Each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes may be converted
at any time at the option of the holder and are payable in full at the earliest of (i) the completion of a “Qualified Financing,”
as defined below, (ii) a change in control, (iii) in the event of default, or (iv) the maturity date, which is five years from the date
of issuance. A Qualified Financing is defined in the Purchase Agreement as any financing completed after the date of issuance of either
the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, or June 2023 Notes involving the sale of the Company’s equity securities primarily for
capital raising purposes resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $
The
Discounted Qualified Financing Price is defined as the per share price at which the shares of the Qualified Financing Securities are
sold in such Qualified Financing as determined for accounting purposes under GAAP, multiplied by . The Capped Price is the per

Company contemplated ASC 480-10-30-7 related to the valuation of the embedded conversion feature contained in the January 2023 Notes,
March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes. The Company deemed that the most likely scenario to be utilized for valuing the conversion feature
was a qualified financing. Therefore, the Company deemed that the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 were issued at
a premium related to the definition of Discounted Qualified Financing Price contained in the Purchase Agreement. The premium recognized
at the inception of January 2023 Notes was $
The
Company assessed the January 2023 Warrants, March 2023 Warrants, and June 2023 first under ASC 480. Based on the attributes of the January
2023 Warrants, March 2023 Warrants, and June 2023 Warrants, the Company determined that each are outside of the scope of ASC 480 and
proceeded to assess each under ASC 815 to determine if any are considered indexed to the Company’s own common stock. Because the
inputs which affect the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the January 2023 Warrants, March 2023 Warrants, and June 2023
Warrants are not the inputs per 815-40-15-7E, none are deemed to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and have been recorded as

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In the following discussion, “Vitro”.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Vitro BioPharma, Inc., and its subsidiaries, as the context requires.
The following discussion analyzes our operating results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and compares those results to results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022. The discussion below also analyzes our liquidity and capital resources as of July 31, 2023 and material changes in those resources since the October 31, 2022. We suggest that you read the following information in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 contained elsewhere in this Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K. Further, we encourage you to review the Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
Overview
We are an innovative biotechnology company targeting autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders, with an ancillary focus in the research services and cosmeceutical fields. With respect to our regenerative medicine business, we are developing novel cellular therapeutic candidates intended to address significant unmet medical needs. In the United States, we are authorized to conduct two clinical trials under two FDA IND applications to assess the safety and efficacy of AlloRx Stem Cell therapy in PTHS and Long COVID, and expect to commence those trials in late 2023 pending receipt of sufficient working capital. We generate revenue from our other technologies through a number of other activities, including through the sale of our stem cell products as well as cosmeceuticals through InfiniVive MD, our wholly-owned subsidiary, which helps to alleviate our capital expenses.
Reverse Stock Split
On June 23, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1-for-26 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s (a) authorized shares of common stock; and (b) issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split became effective upon acceptance of the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on July 6, 2023 (the “Effective Date”). On the Effective Date, the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock held by each stockholder was converted automatically into a number of whole shares of common stock equal to (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, divided by (ii) 26, with any resulting fractional shares being treated as discussed below. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, (a) holders of certificates or book-entry positions representing fewer than 26 shares of common stock prior to the Effective Date (who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares) received cash in lieu of such fractional share interests, based upon an estimated fair value of $6.00 per whole share following the Reverse Stock Split, and (b) holders of certificates or book-entry positions representing more than 26 shares of common stock prior to the Effective Date (who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares) received one additional whole share in lieu of any such fractional share interests.
Components of Operating Results
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from our proprietary products and technologies, including through supplying AlloRx Stem Cells, CAFs, native fibroblasts and other stem cell products and technologies developed by us. We have also generated consulting revenue from the Joint Operating Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “JOA”) among the Company, European Wellness Biomedical Group (“European Wellness”), a multinational company based in Europe, and its U.S. subsidiary, Bio Peptides LLC (“BioPep”), however, deliverables under the JOA were suspended since April 2023 pending discussions regarding amounts believed to be owed to us under the JOA for work already completed. If those discussions are unsuccessful, we may not be able to collect all of the amounts believed to be owed to us or the other amounts originally expected to be received by us under the JOA, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue, cash flow, operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, the JOA expired in accordance with its terms on July 31, 2023. While discussions are ongoing, management does not currently expect our agreement with European Wellness to be renewed beyond its expiration date. Regardless of whether the agreement is renewed, however, we intend to continue to seek to recover all amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work completed.
In addition, our acquisitions of InfiniVive MD, and to a lesser extent, Fitore, provide us revenue through sales of topical cosmetic conditioned media and exosomes serums through InfiniVive MD and sales of dietary supplements, nutraceuticals and health products through Fitore. However, we expect that sales of Fitore products in the future will be limited, as we are currently selling such products solely from remaining inventory and with minimal marketing efforts, and do not anticipate manufacturing any additional Fitore products in the foreseeable future or at all. We also terminated the chief executive officer and all other employees of Fitore as of June 2022.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist of salaries and other related costs, stock-based compensation, legal fees relating to corporate matters, other professional fees for accounting, auditing, tax and consulting services, insurance costs, travel expenses, and facility-related expenses.
We expect that our SG&A expenses will increase in the future as we expect to increase our headcount to support increased research and development activities relating to our clinical programs. We also expect to incur increased SG&A expenses associated with being a public company, including costs of accounting, audit, legal, regulatory and tax-related services associated with maintaining compliance with stock exchange and SEC requirements, director and officer insurance costs, and investor and public relations costs.
| 26 |
Research and Development Expenses
All our research and development expenses to date have been incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our research products and product candidates. We expect our research and development expenses to increase significantly for the foreseeable future when we commence clinical trials and advance the pre-clinical and clinical development of our programs, including the conduct of our planned clinical trials.
Research and development expenses consist of personnel-related costs, including salaries, benefits, and non-cash stock-based compensation, external research and development expenses incurred under arrangements with third parties, laboratory supplies, costs to acquire and license technologies aligned with our goal of translating engineered cells to medicines, facility and other allocated expenses, including rent, depreciation, and allocated overhead costs, and other research and development expenses. Where appropriate, we will allocate our third-party research and development expenses on a program-by-program basis.
The successful development of product candidates is highly uncertain and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties.
Accordingly, at this time, we cannot reasonably estimate the nature, timing or costs required to complete the remaining development of any product candidates and to obtain regulatory approval for one or more of these product candidates.
Other Income and Expenses
Other income/expense consisted of interest expense on our outstanding debt.
Going Concern
Our consolidated financial statements contained in this Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in our consolidated financial statements, we have an accumulated deficit as of July 31, 2023 of $26.2 million. We incurred net losses of approximately $3.5 million and $6.9 million during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and the year ended October 31, 2022, respectively. We used cash in operating activities of $2.0 million and $1.4 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had a working capital deficit of approximately $769,000 as of July 31, 2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have commenced the execution of our long-range business plan and efforts to generate additional revenue; however, our current cash position is not sufficient to support our daily operations for the next 12 months. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional funds through debt or equity financings and our ability to further implement our business plan and generate additional revenue.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $871,684 in the three months ended July 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,854,307 from the three months ended July 31, 2022, or 68%. The decreased loss in the three months ended July 31, 2023 was due primarily to an impairment expense of $914,091 that was recorded in the three months ended July 31, 2022 and no corresponding cost in the three months ended July 31, 2023. In addition, there were decreases in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the three months ended July 31, 2023, as discussed further below. Interest expense increased during the three months ended July 31, 2023 due to the issuance of the 8% 2023 Series and 2023 Series B notes. We expect to continue reporting losses until such time, if ever, we can improve the operation of our newly acquired subsidiaries and/or commercialize one or more of our product candidates and generate sales sufficient to offset our operating costs and expenses and interest expenses.
Product Sales
Total revenue in the three months ended July 31, 2023 decreased by $88,601, or 13%, from the three months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease is attributable to the factors described below, primarily reduced sales of AlloRx Stem Cells to foreign third-party clinics. Our revenue is generated by sales of research products, sales of AlloRx Stem Cells to foreign third-party clinics and medical centers, consulting revenue and sales from our subsidiaries, InfiniVive MD and Fitore, There was no consulting revenue recognized in the three months ended July 31, 2023 or 2022.
During the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, research and development product sales were $284,306 and $189,745, respectively, an increase in the three months ended July 31, 2023 of $94,561, or 50%. The increase was attributable to biopharmaceutical institutions, university research labs and clinics purchasing more CAFs and native fibroblasts in the three months ended July 31, 2023. CAFs and native fibroblasts are used by such institutions for stem cell research and the development of advanced immunotherapy of cancer, and our sales to such institutions are generally completed on a purchase order basis and without minimum purchase obligations. As a result, sales volumes in a particular period may fluctuate based on the number of research programs then being pursued by such institutions.
Sales of AlloRx Stem Cells to foreign third-party clinics for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were $217,991 and $432,000 respectively, a decrease of $214,009, or 50%. The decrease is attributable to diminished sales volumes, as third-party clinics for which we supply AlloRx Stem Cells treated less patients during the three months ended July 31, 2023. Despite the decrease, we expect AlloRx Stem Cell sales internationally to increase over the next year as these products expand into additional foreign third-party clinics and medical centers and our current foreign third-party clinics and medical center customers increase their total monthly patients as international travel continues to pick back up.
For the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, InfiniVive MD revenue amounted to $60,159 and $0, respectively. The increase was attributable to the temporary respite in sales of InfiniVive MD products in the three months ended July 31, 2022 while we conducted an investigation into the potential improper administration of this product by medical professionals that have purchased this product directly from us or via distribution from other medical professionals. Upon completion of the investigation, it was determined that InfiniVive MD’s Exosome Serum was not being misused or misapplied and, following discussion with our legal advisors specializing in regulations relevant to the sale of our products, we resumed sales of InfiniVive MD’s Exosome Serum. This voluntarily suspension of sales of InfiniVive MD’s Exosome Serum in the United States did not have a material impact on our operating results for fiscal year 2022.
| 28 |
For the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, Fitore product revenue amounted to $14,783 and $44,096, respectively. Fitore revenues were lower in the three months ended July 31, 2023 due to reduced efforts at marketing Fitore products, compared to the three months ended July 31, 2022. We are currently selling Fitore products solely from remaining inventory and with minimal marketing efforts, and do not anticipate manufacturing any additional Fitore products in the foreseeable future or at all. We expect that sales of Fitore products in the future will be limited.
Product Sales – Related Parties
Product sales to related parties are sales to the medical practice of Dr. Zamora, our former Chief Executive Officer. Such sales for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, were $15,750 and $0, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold during the three months ended July 31, 2023 totaled $96,815 compared to $138,189 during the three months ended July 31, 2022, a decrease of $41,374, or 30%, resulting in gross profit of $480,425 and $527,652 for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The gross profit percentages for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were 83% and 79%, respectively. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of product sales remained generally consistent for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The overall decrease in gross profit in the three months ended July 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue from product sales, as discussed above under “Product Sales.”
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses decreased from $2,222,487 in the three months ended July 31, 2022 to $1,486,866 in the three months ended July 31, 2023. This decrease of $735,621 or 33% was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $872,181 and reductions in advertising expense of $62,846, partially offset by increases in other expense items, such as directors’ and officers’ insurance $47,919 and professional fees $118,284.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were $33,146 and $79,071, respectively, a decrease of $45,925 or 58%, as the Company continues working to identify additional indications for the study of AlloRx Stem Cell therapy and to prepare AlloRx Stem Cell therapy for future Phase 1/2a clinical trials for PTHS and Long COVID which have been authorized by the FDA. In the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company primarily continued its efforts to prepare AlloRx Stem Cell therapy for future clinical trials. In the three months ended July 31, 2022, in addition to such preparation activities, significant testing was conducted, including to detect any contaminants, diseases and pathogens, for AlloRx Stem Cell therapy.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2023 was $81,976, an increase of $43,982 from the interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2022 of $37,994. This increase is related to the issuance of 8% convertible promissory notes (the “8% Convertible Notes”) at various dates between January 2023 through July 2023. The interest expense related to the remaining debt on our balance sheet of approximately $4.4 million is expected to be all non-cash interest expense.
Other Project Income, Net
As of July 31, 2023, upon the expiration of the JOA, the Company recognized $250,000 as other project income that was deemed as non-refundable by the JOA and offset by $58,254 in project related expenses. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that it did not satisfy the performance obligations at a point in time (ASC paragraph 606-10-25-30) and did not recognize the aforementioned amount as revenue.
Unrealized Gain on Derivative/Warrant Liability
During the three months ended July 31, 2023, we issued 8% Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $525,000, bringing the total of such notes issued to $1,717,600. In connection with these notes, the Company recognized a Derivative/Warrant liability. At July 31, 2023, this liability was marked to market, resulting in an unrealized gain of $58,133.

Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $3,476,509 in the nine months ended July 31, 2023, a decrease of $946,604 or 21% from the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The decreased loss in the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was due primarily to an impairment expense of $914,091 and a loss on conversion of a senior secured note payable of $695,342 that were each recorded in the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and no corresponding cost or loss on conversion in the nine months ended July 31, 2023, offset by a 49% reduction in product sales revenue attributable to diminished sales volumes in the nine months ended July 21, 2023, coupled with decreased consulting revenue, of which $500,000 was recognized in the nine months ended July 31, 2022, and only $25,000 in the nine months ended July 31, 2023. In addition, there was a modest decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses in the nine months ended July 31, 2023, as discussed further below. Interest expense increased during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 due to the issuance of new 8% Convertible Notes during 2023. We expect to continue reporting losses until such time, if ever, we can improve the operation of our newly acquired subsidiaries and/or commercialize one or more of our product candidates and generate sales sufficient to offset our operating costs and expenses and interest expenses.
Net Loss to Common Stockholders
In connection with the sale of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in Fiscal 2020 and 2021, we determined that there was an embedded conversion feature associated with the value of the beneficial conversion feature. The initial embedded conversion feature was initially determined to be $930,577. For the nine months ended July 31, 2022, the accretion of this embedded conversion feature was $793,175 and has been recorded as a deemed dividend. All of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was converted during the year ended October 31, 2022, so there was no corresponding accretion of dividend in the nine months ended July 31, 2023. Including the deemed dividend on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 and the cumulative dividend on that Preferred Stock, the net loss to common stockholders for that period was $5,327,621, or $1.32 per share.
Product Sales
Total product sales revenue in the nine months ended July 31, 2023 decreased by $1,170,551, or 49%, from the nine months ended July 31, 2022. The decrease is attributable to the factors described below, primarily reduced research and development product sales and reduced sales of AlloRx Stem Cells to foreign third-party clinics. Our revenue is generated by sales of research products, sales of AlloRx Stem Cells to foreign third-party clinics and medical centers, consulting revenue and sales from our subsidiaries, InfiniVive MD and Fitore.
| 30 |
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, research and development product sales were $307,324 and $871,480, respectively, a decrease in the nine months ended July 31, 2023 of $564,156 or 65%. The decrease was attributable to biopharmaceutical institutions, university research labs and clinics purchasing less CAFs and native fibroblasts in the nine months ended July 31, 2023. CAFs and native fibroblasts are used by such institutions for stem cell research and the development of advanced immunotherapy of cancer, and our sales to such institutions are generally completed on a purchase order basis and without minimum purchase obligations. As a result, sales volumes in a particular period may fluctuate based on the number of research programs then being pursued by such institutions. Although demand increased in the quarter ended July 31, 2023, we believe that demand in the first half of fiscal year 2023 was also impacted by strong sales of CAFs and native fibroblasts to such institutions in fiscal year 2022, as these institutions still had unused CAFs and native fibroblasts in their inventory.
Sales of AlloRx Stem Cells to foreign third-party clinics for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were $661,208 and $1,089,341 respectively, a decrease of $428,133 or 39%, again related to diminished sales volumes, as third-party clinics for which we supply AlloRx Stem Cells treated less patients during the nine months ended July 31, 2023. Despite the decrease, we expect AlloRx Stem Cell sales internationally to increase over the next year as these products expand into additional foreign third-party clinics and medical centers and our current foreign third-party clinics and medical center customers increase their total monthly patients.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, InfiniVive MD revenue amounted to $183,148 and $232,021, respectively. The decrease was attributable to certified plastic surgeons, cosmetic surgeons, aestheticians and other medical professionals purchasing less InfiniVive MD products in the nine months ended July 31, 2023, as compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2022, resulting from less Company personnel and resources being devoted to marketing InfiniVive MD products in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, Fitore product revenue amounted to $52,434 and $181,823, respectively. Fitore revenues were lower in the nine months ended July 31, 2023 due to reduced efforts at marketing Fitore products, compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2022. We are currently selling Fitore products solely from remaining inventory and with minimal marketing efforts, and do not anticipate manufacturing any additional products in the foreseeable future or at all. We expect that sales of Fitore products in the future will be limited.
Product Sales – Related Parties
Product sales to related parties are sales to the medical practice of Dr. Zamora, our former Chief Executive Officer. Such sales for in the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were $33,750 and $30,500, respectively.
Consulting Revenue
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, our consulting revenue was derived from our JOA with European Wellness, which expired in accordance with its terms on July 31, 2023, under which we agreed to assist in the discovery, development and commercialization of biological products related to regenerative medicine. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022, we recognized $500,000 in revenue as we completed two milestones under the JOA. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, we recognized $25,000 in consulting revenue under this agreement. In addition to the revenue that was recognized, we recorded deferred revenue of $650,000 related to those services during the year ended October 31, 2022. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, we recorded an additional $285,005 in deferred revenue related to the JOA. As of July 31, 2023, upon the expiration of the JOA, the company recognized as other project income $250,000 that was deemed by the JOA as non-refundable, offset by $58,254 in project related expenses, as further described below (see “–Other Project Income, Net”).
Prior to the expiration of the agreement, we suspended deliverables under the agreement with European Wellness in April 2023 pending discussions regarding amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work already completed. If those discussions are unsuccessful, we may not be able to collect all of the amounts believed to be owed to us or the other amounts originally expected to be received by us under the agreement, which could have an adverse effect on our revenue, cash flow, operating results and financial condition. While discussions are ongoing, management does not currently expect our JOA with European Wellness to be renewed beyond its expiration date. Regardless of whether the agreement is renewed, however, we intend to continue to seek to recover all amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work completed. With the expiration of the JOA with European Wellness, we expect our consulting revenue in the future will be limited unless and until an alternative consulting partnership or collaboration becomes available to us.
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 totaled $225,960 compared to $434,051 during the nine months ended July 31, 2022, a decrease of $208,091 or 48%, resulting in gross profit of $1,003,154 and $2,440,614 for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The gross profit percentages for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were 82% and 85%, respectively. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of product sales remained generally consistent for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022. The overall decrease in gross profit in the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to a $475,000 decrease in consulting revenue for that period compared to the nine months ended July 31, 2022 as discussed above. Also contributing to the decrease in gross profit was a decrease in revenue from product sales, as discussed above under “Product Sales.”
| 31 |
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses decreased from $4,947,485 in the nine months ended July 31, 2022 to $4,445,217 in the nine months ended July 31, 2023. This decrease of $502,268 (10%) was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation of $901,399 and a decrease in supplies costs of $56,949, offset by an increase of $525,294 in professional fees.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses for nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 were $106,426 and $147,112, respectively, a decrease of $40,686, or 38%. In the nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company primarily continued its efforts to prepare AlloRx Stem Cell therapy for future clinical trials. In the nine months ended July 31, 2022, in addition to such preparation activities, significant testing was conducted, including to detect any contaminants, diseases and pathogens, for AlloRx Stem Cell therapy.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $178,606, an increase of $18,909 from the interest expense for the nine months ended July 31, 2022 of $159,697. This increase is related to new 8% Convertible Notes issued in 2023. The interest expense related to the remaining debt on our balance sheet of approximately $4.4 million is expected to be all non-cash interest expense.
Other Project Income, Net
As of July 31, 2023, upon the expiration of the JOA with European Wellness the Company recognized $250,000 as other project income that was deemed as non-refundable by the JOA, offset by $58,254 in project related expenses. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that it did not satisfy the performance obligations at a point in time (ASC paragraph 606-10-25-30) and did not recognize the aforementioned amount as revenue.
Unrealized Gain on Derivative/Warrant Liability
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, we issued $1,717,600 of the 8% Convertible Notes. In connection with these notes, the Company recognized a Derivative/Warrant liability. At July 31, 2023, this liability was marked to market, resulting in an unrealized gain of $58,840.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses as we advance the preclinical and clinical development of our programs. We expect that our sales, research and development, and general and administrative costs will increase in connection with conducting additional preclinical studies and clinical trials for our current and future programs and product candidates, expanding our intellectual property portfolio, and providing general and administrative support for our operations. As a result, we will need additional capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months and beyond, which we hope to obtain from additional equity or debt financings, collaborations, licensing arrangements, or other sources.
We currently have no credit facility or other committed sources of capital. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we raise additional funds through other third-party funding, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances, licensing arrangements or marketing and distribution arrangements, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our drug development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market products or product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.
| 32 |
In order to continue as a going concern, as well as to meet our operational goals, we will need to obtain additional capital in both the short and long term, which we will likely obtain through a variety of means, including through public or private equity, debt financings or other sources, including up-front payments and milestone payments from strategic collaborations. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of convertible debt or equity securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Such financing may result in dilution to stockholders, imposition of debt covenants, increased fixed payment obligations or other restrictions that may affect our business. If we raise additional funds through up-front payments or milestone payments pursuant to strategic collaborations with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. In addition, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans.
Working Capital
As of July 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $769,000, comprised of current assets of $3.3 million and current liabilities of $4.1 million. The working capital at July 31, 2023 decreased $0.7 million from October 31, 2022, our prior fiscal year end. Cash was reduced from $0.7 million as of October 31, 2022 to $0.3 million at July 31, 2023 as we used cash for operations and preparation for a proposed public offering of our securities.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, we sold $1,717,600 of 8% Convertible Notes as well as warrants to purchase our common stock for aggregate proceeds of $1,717,600. The 8% Convertible Notes are payable solely in shares of our common stock and are convertible upon the happening of certain events, including the completion of a “Qualified Financing.” The proceeds from the sale of the 8% Convertible Notes and the warrants has been and will be used for general corporate purposes. We continue efforts to raise capital for our short-term liquidity and capital needs.
As a result of our limited working capital position as of July 31, 2023, we continue to rely on cash from outside sources to meet our liquidity requirements. Our need for liquidity and capital in the next 12 months include:
| ● | advancing the clinical development of AlloRx Stem Cell therapy for the treatment of several indications; | |
| ● | pursuing the preclinical and clinical development of other current and future research programs and product candidates; | |
| ● | in-license or acquire the rights to other products, product candidates or technologies; | |
| ● | maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio; | |
| ● | hire additional personnel in research, manufacturing and regulatory and clinical development as well as management personnel; | |
| ● | seek regulatory approval for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical development; | |
| ● | expand our manufacturing capabilities; |
| 33 |
| ● | expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our operations as a public company; and | |

We have filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register our securities for sale in a proposed underwritten public offering. If that offering is successful, we intend to use the proceeds to initiate and conduct one or more clinical trials of our AlloRx Stem Cell therapy, for preclinical activities for other possible treatments with AlloRx, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. If we are successful in completing a public offering of our securities, including our common stock, and obtaining a market for that stock, we may realize additional capital through the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants. However, that will depend on the warrants being “in the money,” in addition to having a market for our stock. We may also endeavor to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or debt in one or more non-public offerings. We do not anticipate commencing any clinical trials of our AlloRx Stem Cell therapy unless and until we receive substantial additional capital, as costs are estimated to be $4 million to $6 million to commence our contemplated Phase 1/2a clinical trials for PTHS and Long COVID, depending on whether we commence one or both trials.
Our significant contractual cash requirements as of July 31, 2023 primarily include payments for operating and finance lease liabilities and principal and interest on loans. Our current and long-term obligations related to these items are outlined in “Note 6—Lease Obligations,” and “Note 7—Debt,” of the Notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements within this Report. Additionally, we may incur purchase obligations in the ordinary course of business that are enforceable and legally binding and enter into enforceable agreements to purchase goods or services that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased and fixed or estimated prices to be paid at the time of settlement. As of July 31, 2023, we had payments for lease, loan and other known contractual obligations of approximately $5.3 million, of which approximately $0.8 million are payable within 12 months as of July 31, 2023.
In addition to our other outstanding debt as further described in “Note 7—Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements within this Report, we currently have outstanding a 5% Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $480,000 that is scheduled to mature in the next 12 months, on July 31, 2024. The note is convertible into our common stock at a price of $26.00 per share at the option of the holder and is subject to mandatory conversion in the event (i) our common stock is publicly traded, (ii) the common stock trades at a price of at least $3.00 per share for at least 20 days and the average daily trading volume during such 20 day period is at least 15,000 shares, and (iii) we either have an effective registration statement allowing for resale of the common stock free of any restrictions or the shares are eligible for sale without restriction by the holder upon conversion. There can be no assurance that such note will be converted into our common stock prior to the maturity date. Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal of, to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness, including such note, depends on our future performance and receipt of additional capital, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Repayment of these obligations, even if we are able to obtain the requisite capital, would decrease the funds available to further our business plan.
Our working capital needs beyond the next 12 months include ongoing general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses, the latter of which are expected to increase if and when we commence one or more of our planned clinical trials. In addition to our long-term debt obligations, our long-term capital requirements also include the cost of building a planned new cGMP biomanufacturing facility, which is estimated to cost approximately $1.0 to $3.0 million depending on the amount of anticipated production increase, available capital and manufacturing demands at that time
| 34 |
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of our product candidates, it is difficult to estimate with certainty the amount of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
| ● | the progress, costs and results of our clinical trials for our programs for our cell-based therapies; | |
| ● | the progress, costs and results of additional research and preclinical studies in other research programs we initiate in the future; | |
| ● | the costs and timing of process development and manufacturing scale-up activities associated with our product candidates and other programs we advance through preclinical and clinical development; | |
| ● | our ability to establish and maintain strategic collaborations, licensing or other agreements and the financial terms of such agreements; | |
| ● | the extent to which we in-license or acquire rights to other products, product candidates or technologies; and | |
| ● | the costs and timing of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and protecting our intellectual property rights and defending against any intellectual property-related claims. |
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022:
| Nine Months Ended July 31, | ||||||||
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
| Net Cash Used in Operating Activities | $ | (1,966,899 | ) | $ | (1,363,747 | ) | ||

| Ending Cash Balance | $ | 285,175 | $ | 1,691,627 | ||||
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $1,966,899, compared to $1,363,747 during the nine months ended July 31, 2022, representing an increase of $603,152. The reduction in net loss during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was offset by the lack of non-cash adjustments for impairment expense and loss on conversion of senior secured note payable that occurred during the nine months ended July 31, 2022.
Investing Activities
Cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $160,289 compared to $264,664 in the nine months ended July 31, 2022, representing a decrease in cash used of $104,375. We purchased property and equipment and incurred some IP-related costs during the nine months ended July 31, 2023, while there was a significant item of equipment purchased during the nine months ended July 31, 2022.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2023 was $1,670,825, while cash used by financing activities during the nine months ended July 31, 2022 was $1,056,945. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, we issued $1,717,600 in 8% Convertible Notes and common stock purchase warrants, and made capital lease principal payments of $46,775. During the nine months ended July 31, 2022, we made capital lease principal payments of $59,588 and revolving line of credit principal payments of $58,596 and incurred $1,138,761 of deferred offering costs in connection with our proposed public offering.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to stock-based awards and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Of our policies, the following are considered the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements as they require the application of the most subjective and complex judgment, involving critical accounting estimates and assumptions impacting our consolidated financial statements. We have applied our policies and critical accounting estimates consistently across our businesses.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense represents the cost of the grant date fair value of equity awards recognized over the requisite service period of the awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line basis. We estimate the fair value of equity awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize forfeitures as they occur. Estimating the fair value of equity awards as of the grant date using valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes option pricing model, is affected by assumptions regarding a number of variables, including the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, the expected term of stock options, the expected dividend yield and the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Changes in the assumptions can materially affect the fair value and ultimately how much stock-based compensation expense is recognized. These inputs are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop.
Estimating the Fair Value of Common Stock
When performing the fair value calculations using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, we are required to estimate the fair value of our common stock underlying our stock-based awards, which is the most subjective input into the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Because there has previously been no public market for our common stock, the fair value of our common stock underlying stock options has been determined on each grant date by the Board, with input from management, primarily by referencing arms-length transactions inclusive of our common stock underlying such transactions which occurred on or near the valuation date(s). In addition to an evaluation of arms-length transactions involving our common stock, the Board considered various objective and subjective factors to estimate the estimated fair value of our common stock, including:
| ● | the estimated value of our securities both outstanding and anticipated; | |
| ● | the anticipated capital structure, which will directly impact the value of the currently outstanding securities; | |
| ● | our results of operations and financial position; | |
| ● | the status of our research and development efforts; | |
| ● | the lack of liquidity of our common stock as a private company; | |
| ● | our stage of development and business strategy and the material risks related to our business and industry; | |
| ● | external market conditions affecting the life sciences and biotechnology industry sectors; | |
| ● | U.S. and global economic conditions; | |
| ● | the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event for the holders of common stock, such as a public offering, or a sale of our Company, given prevailing market conditions; and | |
| ● | the market value of comparable companies. |
In determining the estimated fair value of our common stock for equity awards granted from August 2021 to February 2022, the Board primarily considered the then most recent independent third-party valuation obtained by the Company in connection with its acquisition of InfiniVive MD and Fitore on August 1, 2021, in addition to the subjective factors discussed above. After considering the independent third-party valuation and the other subjective factors discussed above, the Board determined valuations of our common stock of $4.94 per share as of August 1, 2021, and such valuations by the Board were used for the purposes of determining the stock-based compensation expense for all stock options and equity awards granted from August 2021 to February 2022. More recently, in determining the estimated fair value of our common stock underlying stock options and equity awards granted since February 22, 2022, the Board, with input from management and recognizing the arms-length nature of the transaction, primarily considered the holder’s election in February 2022 to voluntarily convert a Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note into 142,788 shares of our common stock at the embedded conversion price of $26.00 per share pursuant to the terms of the Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note. The Board also considered other pertinent information available to it at the time of the grants, including the subjective factors discussed above. After considering these factors, the Board determined valuations of our common stock of $26.00 per share as of March 1, 2022 and July 6, 2022, and such valuations by the Board were used for the purposes of determining the stock-based compensation expense for the options granted on each of March 1, 2022 and July 6, 2022. Stock based compensation expense related to options for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $2,197,597 and $2,040,617, respectively. Stock based compensation expense related to options for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $386,616 and $902,688, and $302,785 and $545,290 respectively.
The assumptions underlying these valuations represented management’s best estimate, which involved inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if we had used different assumptions or estimates, the fair value of our common stock and our stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different.
Intangibles
Most of our identifiable intangible assets were recognized as part of business combinations we have executed in prior periods. Our identifiable intangible assets are considered definite life intangible assets and are comprised of, trademarks and trade names, customer relationships and patents. Definite life intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of useful life.
Our determination of the fair value of the intangible assets acquired involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. We believe that the fair value assigned to the assets are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that a market participant would use. Should conditions differ from management’s estimates at the time of the acquisition, including changes in volume or timing to current expectations of future revenue growth rates and forecasted margins, or changes in market factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, material write-downs of intangible assets may be required, which would adversely affect our operating results.
We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of intangible assets may not be recoverable. We review the carrying amounts of our intangible assets for potential impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators may include any significant changes in the manner of our use of the assets or the strategy of our overall business, certain reorganization initiatives, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant decline in our share price for a sustained period.
| 36 |
When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we compare the carrying amounts of the asset or assets groups with their respective estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the asset or assets group are determined to be impaired, an impairment charge is recorded in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or assets group exceed their fair value.
Goodwill
Goodwill reflects the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is tested for impairment annually, or whenever events or circumstances present an indication of impairment.
Determining the fair value requires significant judgment, including judgments about the appropriate terminal growth rates, weighted average costs of capital and the amounts and timing of projected future cash flows. Fair value determinations are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions, estimates, and market factors. Projected future cash flows are based on our most recent budget, forecasts and strategic plans as well as certain growth rate assumptions.
We will continue to monitor the fair value to determine whether events and changes in circumstances such as further deterioration in the business climate or operating results, further significant decline in our share price, changes in management’s business strategy or downward changes of our cash flows projections, warrant further interim impairment testing.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a system of controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of July 31, 2023, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to ineffective internal control over financial reporting. See information under “Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” below for information as to a material weakness in our internal control, which in turn affected our disclosure controls and procedures.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Company identified a material weakness in its internal controls with respect to revenue recognition. Specifically, the Company improperly recognized revenue in accordance with the terms of the JOA that was entered into in August 2021. The material weakness resulted in a restatement of our financial statements for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2022.
Management has commenced taking steps to remediate this weakness discovered during the prior fiscal year and to enhance our internal control over financial reporting.
These steps may include:
| (1) | Improving the communication between Company management and the Company staff working on the JOA. | |
| (2) | Establishing formal billing templates and protocols with the counterparty to the JOA so as to achieve proper recognition of milestones achieved under the terms of the JOA. | |
| (3) | Establishing a formal review process for all revenue recognized under the terms of the JOA in accordance with the appropriate accounting standards codification. |
Other than as described above, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 31, 2023 that materially affected, or is likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
| 39 |
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we may become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. However, to our knowledge, no legal proceedings, government actions, administrative actions, investigations, or claims are currently pending or threatened against us or our officers and directors in which we are adverse. The results of any future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.
There are many risks inherent in our business. Factors that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity, and the trading price of our common stock are described under Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on January 27, 2023. Other than the risk factor included below, there have been no material changes regarding risk factors since that date:
A significant portion of our revenue has been concentrated on a few large customers and our agreement with one of those customers, European Wellness, recently expired. As a result, we expect our consulting revenue in the future to be more limited and, if we lose more customers, our results of operations would be expected to be further adversely impacted.
Our revenue has been concentrated in a small number of our domestic customers and European Wellness/BioPep. The sales to three domestic customers accounted for approximately 17%, 15% and 14% of our sales in fiscal year 2022. The consulting revenue from European Wellness/BioPep accounted for approximately 18% of our sales in fiscal year 2022. With respect to European Wellness/BioPep, we had suspended delivering work product to it under our agreement since April 2023 while we engaged in discussions regarding amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work already completed, and our agreement with them expired in accordance with its terms on July 31, 2023 and is not expected to be renewed. Although we intend to continue to seek to recover and recognize as revenue or other project income all amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement, we may not be able to collect or recognize as revenue or other project income all of the amounts believed to be owed to us through the date of expiration or the other amounts originally expected to be received by us under the agreement for completion of all services thereunder as originally contemplated. Because our contract with European Wellness expired on July 31, 2023 and has not been renewed, we expect our consulting revenue in the future will be materially adversely affected, in particular if we are unsuccessful in ultimately recognizing our deferred revenue or other project income associated with this agreement or collecting other amounts from them for work already completed, unless and until an alternative consulting partnership or collaboration becomes available to us. The loss of all or a part of our revenue from any of the other customers could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, cash flow, operating results and financial condition until an alternative partnership or collaboration might be developed, and there can be no assurance that an alternative partnership or collaboration will be available to us, on terms acceptable to us or at all, in such a circumstance.

| NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Organization and Description of Business
Vitro Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 31, 1986, under the name Imperial Management, Inc. On December 17, 1986, the Company merged with Labtek, Inc., a Colorado corporation, with the Company being the surviving entity and the name of the Company was changed to Labtek, Inc. The name was then changed to Vitro Diagnostics, Inc. on February 6, 1987. From November of 1990 through July 31, 2000, the Company was engaged in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of purified human antigens (“Diagnostics”) and related technologies. The Company also developed cell technology including immortalization of certain cells, which allowed entry into other markets besides Diagnostics. In August 2000, the Company sold the Diagnostics business, following which it focused on developing therapeutic products, its stem cell technology, patent portfolio and proprietary technology and cell lines for applications in autoimmune disorders and inflammatory disease processes and stem cell research. On February 3, 2021, the Company filed an amendment to the articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of the Company to Vitro BioPharma, Inc.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
On June 23, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a 1-for-26 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s (a) authorized shares of common stock, par value $(the “Common Stock”); and (b) issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. All share and per share information included in these financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split, which became effective on July 6, 2023.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC (“Form 10-K”). Unless otherwise noted in this Interim Report, there have been no material changes to the disclosures contained in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2022 contained in the Form 10-K.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2022, was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim Consolidated Balance Sheet, Statements of Operations, Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows, contained herein, reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of the Company’s prior audited consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the current presentation on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Fitore, Inc. (“Fitore”) and InfiniVive MD, LLC (“InfiniVive”).
Concentrations
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, 3% and 1% respectively, of the Company’s total revenues were derived from sales to an entity controlled by the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer and President, Dr. Jack Zamora (“Dr. Zamora”) (Note 10). Dr. Zamora is also a 30% stockholder. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023, 38% of the Company’s total revenue was attributable to product sales to one customer. Also, during the nine months ended July 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 17%. 16% and 13% of the Company’s revenues. Other than the revenues derived through sales to an entity controlled by Dr. Zamora and the additional customers referenced herein, no customer accounted for greater than 10% of the Company’s gross sales for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 or 2022. In addition to the product revenue concentrations noted above, the Company recognized $25,000 in consulting revenue from a single client during the nine months ended July 31, 2023. This amount was 4% of the total revenue recognized for the period. The Company also recognized $500,000 in consulting revenue from a single client during the nine months ended July 31, 2022. This amount was 17% of the total revenue recognized for the period.
Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
For each performance obligation identified in accordance with ASC 606, the Company determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time (in accordance with paragraphs 606-10-25-27 through 25-29) or satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time (in accordance with paragraph 606-10-25-30). If an entity does not satisfy a performance obligation over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.
Control is considered transferred over time if any one of the following criteria is met:
For certain contracts to which the Company is party, it uses the recognition over time method to recognize revenue.
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer at the time of the sale. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sources listed below:
Sale of research and development product: Sales of research and development product include the sale of stem cell medium.
Sale of therapeutic product: Includes cell culture media to be used in therapeutic treatment.
Shipping: Includes amounts charged to customers for shipping products.
Consulting Revenue: The Company has agreed to assist another party to develop an FDA-approved biological product. Revenues are recognized when certain contractual milestones are achieved.
Fitore product sales online: Includes internet sales, via the Fitore Nutrition website, of dietary supplements called Stemulife, Spectrum+, Easy Sleep and Thought Calmer.
InfiniVive product sales: InfiniVive, via call-in orders, sells exosomes and daily cosmetic serum.
Disaggregation of revenue
The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue for the reporting periods, disaggregated by product or service type:
Deferred Revenue
The Company has recorded deferred revenue in connection with a Joint Operating Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “JOA”) executed between the Company and European Wellness/BIO PEP USA (“BIO PEP”). Pursuant to this JOA, which expired in accordance with its terms on July 31, 2023 and is not expected to be renewed, the Company was obligated to use its best efforts to identify, develop and deliver various potential active pharmaceutical ingredients and to oversee the development of a recombinant cell line by a third-party service provider. The Company was also engaged to establish a Quality Management System to be utilized by BIO PEP in their pursuit of FDA authorizations. Prior to its expiration, our work under the JOA had been suspended since April 2023 pending discussions regarding amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work already completed. If those discussions are unsuccessful, we may not be able to collect all of the amounts believed to be owed to us or the other amounts originally expected to be received by us under the agreement.
The Company records as deferred revenue amounts for which the Company has been paid but for which it has not yet achieved and delivered related milestones or when the level of effort required to complete performance obligations under an arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated under the terms of the related agreement. Deferred revenue is classified as current or long-term based on when management estimates the revenue will be recognized. As of July 31, 2023, the Company has deferred $685,005 in revenue. The Company has recorded $159,618 in prepaid project costs related to this deferred revenue in current assets. The amounts recorded as deferred revenue and prepaid project costs will be recognized if and when the Company achieves and delivers the milestones under the terms of the agreement.
The table below summarizes Deferred Revenues as of July 31, 2023:
During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized as revenue $ and $500,000 in previously deferred revenue, respectively and $0 and $78,257 in expenses related to the JOA, respectively. The expenses are included in the Selling, general and administrative line on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
As of July 31, 2023, upon the expiration of the European Wellness Agreement, the Company recognized $250,000 as other project income that was deemed as non-refundable by the amendment and offset by $58,254 in project related expenses. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company determined that it did not satisfy the performance obligations at a point in time (ASC paragraph 606-10-25-30) and did not recognize the aforementioned amount as revenue.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from customers. The Company considers accounts more than 30 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, total accounts receivable amounted to $79,302 and $73,537, respectively, net of allowances. The Company monitors accounts receivable for collectability and when doubt as to the realization of amounts recorded arises, an allowance is recorded and/or accounts deemed to be uncollectible will be written off. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $975 and $2,500, respectively.
As of July 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 53% and 11% of accounts receivable. As of October 31, 2022, 28% and 10%, of the Company’s accounts receivable were attributable to sales to two customers. No other customer comprised more than 10% of the accounts receivable balance as of July 31, 2023 or October 31, 2022.
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic income or loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the following number of potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from diluted net loss since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive:
Inventory
Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost (using the specific identification method) or market. Inventories consisted of the following at the balance sheet dates:
The Company periodically reviews the value of items in inventory and provides write-downs or write-offs of inventory based on its assessment of market conditions. During the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did t record any impairment expense.
Leases
In May 2023, the Company executed a new office lease for its executive offices, with the lease starting July 1, 2023. The Company recognized an initial operating lease right-of-use asset of $271,396 and an operating lease liability of $271,396. Due to the simplistic nature of the Company’s leases, no retained earnings adjustments were required. No amortization of this operating lease right-of-use asset was taken during the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, however, the Company did recognize right-of-use asset amortization for other office leases in the amount of $12,345 and $38,032, and $13,716 and $42,256 for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

| GOING CONCERN | NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses of approximately $3.5 million for the nine months ended July 31, 2023 and approximately $6.9 million for the year ended October 31, 2022. The Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $769,000 as of July 31, 2023. In addition, the revenues of the Company do not provide adequate working capital for the Company to sustain its current and planned business operations.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheets is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company’s ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and generate additional revenues and profit from operations.
Management plans to address the going concern include but are not limited to raising additional capital through an attempted public and/or private offering of equity securities, as well potentially issuing additional debt instruments. The Company also has various initiatives underway to increase revenue generation through diversified offerings of products and services related to its stem cell technology and analytical capabilities. The goal of these initiatives is to achieve profitable operations as quickly as possible. Various strategic alliances that are ongoing and under development are also critical aspects of management’s overall growth and development strategy. There is no assurance that these initiatives will yield sufficient capital to maintain the Company’s operations. There is no assurance that the ongoing capital raising efforts will be successful. Should management fail to successfully raise additional capital and/or fully implement its strategic initiatives, it may be compelled to curtail part or all of its ongoing operations.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through various private placements of debt and equity securities.

| FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT | NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value for financial assets and liabilities that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
● Level 1: Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
● Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities that are observable for the asset or liability; and
● Level 3: Unobservable pricing inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources, such as discounted cash or valuation models.
The financial assets and liabilities are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
As disclosed in Note 7, the two tranches’ of 2023 Series Convertible Notes Payable - Stock Settled Derivative/Warrant Liability required identification and quantification of fair value. The derivative liabilities described below only relate to the warrants included with the two tranches of the 2023 Series Convertible Notes Payable – Stock Settled debt. The estimated fair values as of the issuance date of the two tranches of notes are presented in Note 7.
As of July 31, 2023, the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial liabilities are presented in the following table:
The following table presents a roll-forward of the fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Company’s warrants included with its 2023 Series Convertible Notes Payable, categorized as Level 3:
During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the unrealized gain on the Derivative Warrant Liability was $58,133 and $58,840 respectively. There were no comparable amounts recorded in the prior periods.
The fair value of the warrants granted in connection with the two, tranches of 2023 Series Convertible Notes Payable-Stock Settled during the periods presented was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and Convertible Notes Payable. The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amount of the Company’s Convertible Notes Payable approximates fair value as they bear interest over the term of the loans.

2023 Series Convertible Notes – Stock Settled
On January 6, 2023, the Company sold $405,000 of its 8%, 2023 Series Convertible Notes - Stock Settled (the “January 2023 Notes”) and common stock purchase warrants (“January 2023 Warrants”) to five investors.
On various dates during March and April 2023, the Company sold $787,600 of its 8%, 2023 Series B Convertible Notes - Stock Settled (the “March 2023 Notes”) and common stock purchase warrants (“March 2023 Warrants”) to six investors.
On various dates during June and July 2023, the Company sold $525,000 of its 8%, 2023 Series B Convertible Notes - Stock Settled (the “June 2023 Notes”) and common stock purchase warrants (“June 2023 Warrants”) to three investors.
The sale and purchase were made through a Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) entered into with each investor. The Company followed the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” to account for the stock settled debt and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” to account for the derivative related to the notes and also to determine the number of warrants to be issued at the time of the issuance of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, or the June 2023 Notes.
Each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes bear interest at the rate of eight per cent per annum and are payable solely in shares of the Company’s common stock. Each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes may be converted at any time at the option of the holder and are payable in full at the earliest of (i) the completion of a “Qualified Financing,” as defined below, (ii) a change in control, (iii) in the event of default, or (iv) the maturity date, which is five years from the date of issuance. A Qualified Financing is defined in the Purchase Agreement as any financing completed after the date of issuance of either the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, or June 2023 Notes involving the sale of the Company’s equity securities primarily for capital raising purposes resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $5 million. Upon completion of a Qualified Financing, each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes is convertible into the securities issued in such financing (the “Qualified Financing Securities”) in an amount determined by dividing (i) the outstanding principal on the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, or June 2023 Notes plus all accrued interest by (ii) the lessor of (x) the “Discounted Qualified Financing Price” and (y) the “Capped Price.” In the event of a change in control or default, voluntary conversion or upon maturity, each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes is convertible into that number of shares of the Company’s common stock that equals (i) the outstanding principal amount of each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes plus any accrued but unpaid interest, divided by (ii) the Capped Price.
The Discounted Qualified Financing Price is defined as the per share price at which the shares of the Qualified Financing Securities are sold in such Qualified Financing as determined for accounting purposes under GAAP, multiplied by . The Capped Price is the per share price implied by a fully-diluted (on an as-converted to common stock basis), pre-money valuation of $200,000,000 for the Company.
Each January 2023 Warrant issuable by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entitles the holder to purchase that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock determined (A) in the case following a Qualified Financing, by dividing (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the January 2023 Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the time of conversion multiplied by 0.25 by (ii) the quotient of the Discounted Qualified Financing Price divided by 0.75, or (B) in connection with a Change of Control, by dividing (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the January 2023 Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the time of the January 2023 Note’s conversion, by (ii) the Capped Price, subject to adjustment as set forth in the January 2023 Warrant. In each case, the January 2023 Warrants are exercisable at a price of $16.25 per share (as adjusted for the July 2023, 1 to 26 reverse stock split) for a period of five years.
Each March 2023 Warrant and June 2023 Warrant issuable by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement entitles the holder to purchase that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Company’s common stock determined (A) in the case following a Qualified Financing, by dividing (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the March 2023 Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the time of conversion by (ii) the quotient of the Discounted Qualified Financing Price divided by 0.75, or (B) in connection with a Change of Control, by dividing (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the March 2023 Note or June 2023 Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the time of the March 2023 Note’s or June 2023 Note’s conversion, by (ii) the Capped Price, subject to adjustment as set forth in the March 2023 Warrant or June 2023 Warrant. In each case, the March 2023 Warrants and June 2023 Warrants are exercisable at a price of $16.25 per share for a period of five years.
Participation Rights. Each of the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes entitle the holder to purchase in a Qualified Financing an amount of Qualified Financing Securities (as defined above) up to 200% of the aggregate principal amount of either the January 2023 Note, March, 2023 Note, or June 2023 Notes, respectively, subscribed for by such holder in this Offering.
The Company contemplated ASC 480-10-30-7 related to the valuation of the embedded conversion feature contained in the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 Notes. The Company deemed that the most likely scenario to be utilized for valuing the conversion feature was a qualified financing. Therefore, the Company deemed that the January 2023 Notes, March 2023 Notes, and June 2023 were issued at a premium related to the definition of Discounted Qualified Financing Price contained in the Purchase Agreement. The premium recognized at the inception of January 2023 Notes was $135,000, the premium recognized at the inception of the March 2023 Notes was $262,533, and the premium recognized at the inception of the June 2023 Notes was $175,000.
The Company assessed the January 2023 Warrants, March 2023 Warrants, and June 2023 first under ASC 480. Based on the attributes of the January 2023 Warrants, March 2023 Warrants, and June 2023 Warrants, the Company determined that each are outside of the scope of ASC 480 and proceeded to assess each under ASC 815 to determine if any are considered indexed to the Company’s own common stock. Because the inputs which affect the number of shares to be issued upon exercise of the January 2023 Warrants, March 2023 Warrants, and June 2023 Warrants are not the inputs per 815-40-15-7E, none are deemed to be indexed to the Company’s own stock and have been recorded as liabilities under ASC 815 (Note 3) at the fair market value. At issuance, the Company recorded a warrant liability related to the January 2023 Warrants of $73,213, which amount is remeasured at fair market value at the end of each reporting period. The combination of the premium related to the conversion feature of $135,000 and the warrant liability of $73,213 resulted in the recognition of a debt discount of $208,213 at issuance of the January 2023 Notes and January 2023 Warrants. Further, at issuance of the March 2023 Warrants, the Company recorded a warrant liability of $568,574, which is remeasured at fair market value at the end of each reporting period. The combination of the premium related to the conversion feature of $262,533 and the warrant liability of $568,574 resulted in the recognition of a debt discount of $831,108 at issuance of the March 2023 Notes and March 2023 Warrants. Lastly, at issuance of the June 2023 Warrants, the Company recorded a warrant liability of $354,810, which is remeasured at fair market value at the end of each reporting period. The combination of the premium related to the conversion feature of $175,000 and the warrant liability of $354,180 resulted in the recognition of a debt discount of $529,810 at issuance of the June 2023 Notes and June 2023 Warrants.
The combination of the $135,000 premium associated with the conversion feature of the January 2023 Notes and the $208,213 discount associated with the January 2023 Warrants results in a net discount of $73,213 that is accreted over five years utilizing the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for both the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 is 13.0%. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded accretion expense of $2,784 and $6,052, respectively, and a gain on the fair value of the warrant liability of 5,871 and $6,057, respectively, with no comparable amounts in the prior periods.
The combination of the $262,533 premium associated with the conversion feature of the March 2023 Notes and the $831,108 discount associated with the March 2023 Warrants results in a net discount of $568,574 that is accreted over five years utilizing the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 is 44.6%. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded accretion expense of $9,073 and $12,083, respectively, and a gain on the fair value of the warrant liability of $45,667 and $46,187, respectively, with no comparable amounts in the prior period.
The combination of the $175,000 premium associated with the conversion feature of the June 2023 Notes and the $529,810 discount associated with the June 2023 Warrants results in a net discount of $354,810 that is accreted over five years utilizing the effective interest method. The effective interest rate for the three months ended July 31, 2023 is 39.5%. During the three months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded accretion expense of $3,007 and a gain on the fair value of the warrant liability of $6,596 with no comparable amounts in the prior period.
During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023 the Company recorded $8,167 and $18,074 in interest expense on the January 2023 Notes, respectively. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded $15,880 and $21,432 in interest expense on the March 2023 Notes, respectively. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2023, the Company recorded $4,964 and $4,964 in interest expense on the June 2023 Notes, respectively. As of July 31, 2023 and October 31, 2022, the Company had accrued $18,074 and $0, respectively, in interest on the January 2023 Notes.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates
The preparation of the 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The new guidance sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects to receive in exchange for the goods or services. To determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
For each performance obligation identified in accordance with ASC 606, the Company determines at contract inception whether it satisfies the performance obligation over time (in accordance with paragraphs 606-10-25-27 through 25-29) or satisfies the performance obligation at a point in time (in accordance with paragraph 606-10-25-30). If an entity does not satisfy a performance obligation over time, the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in time.
Control is considered transferred over time if any one of the following criteria is met:
For certain contracts to which the Company is party, it uses the recognition over time method to recognize revenue.
The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations with the customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control is transferred upon delivery to the customer at the time of the sale. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods and services. The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from the sources listed below:
Sale of research and development product: Sales of research and development product include the sale of stem cell medium.
Sale of therapeutic product: Includes cell culture media to be used in therapeutic treatment.
Shipping: Includes amounts charged to customers for shipping products.
Consulting Revenue: The Company has agreed to assist another party to develop an FDA-approved biological product. Revenues are recognized when certain contractual milestones are achieved.
Fitore product sales online: Includes internet sales, via the Fitore Nutrition website, of dietary supplements called Stemulife, Spectrum+, Easy Sleep and Thought Calmer.
InfiniVive product sales: InfiniVive, via call-in orders, sells exosomes and daily cosmetic serum.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue for the reporting periods, disaggregated by product or service type:

| Deferred Revenue | Deferred Revenue
The Company has recorded deferred revenue in connection with a Joint Operating Agreement (as subsequently amended, the “JOA”) executed between the Company and European Wellness/BIO PEP USA (“BIO PEP”). Pursuant to this JOA, which expired in accordance with its terms on July 31, 2023 and is not expected to be renewed, the Company was obligated to use its best efforts to identify, develop and deliver various potential active pharmaceutical ingredients and to oversee the development of a recombinant cell line by a third-party service provider. The Company was also engaged to establish a Quality Management System to be utilized by BIO PEP in their pursuit of FDA authorizations. Prior to its expiration, our work under the JOA had been suspended since April 2023 pending discussions regarding amounts believed to be owed to us under that agreement for work already completed. If those discussions are unsuccessful, we may not be able to collect all of the amounts believed to be owed to us or the other amounts originally expected to be received by us under the agreement.
The Company records as deferred revenue amounts for which the Company has been paid but for which it has not yet achieved and delivered related milestones or when the level of effort required to complete performance obligations under an arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated under the terms of the related agreement. Deferred revenue is classified as current or long-term based on when management estimates the revenue will be recognized. As of July 31, 2023, the Company has deferred $685,005 in revenue. The Company has recorded $159,618 in prepaid project costs related to this deferred revenue in current assets. The amounts recorded as deferred revenue and prepaid project costs will be recognized if and when the Company achieves and delivers the milestones under the terms of the agreement.
