−Removed: Segment Information
−Removed: Financial Accounting Standards
−Removed: Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, Segment Reporting , establishes standards
−Removed: for reporting information about operating segments.
−Removed: Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate
−Removed: financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding
−Removed: how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
−Removed: The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer,
−Removed: who reviews the financial performance and the results of operations of the segments prepared in accordance with U.S.

−Removed: decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company.
−Removed: The Company has determined
−Removed: that its reportable segments are products whose marketing approvals were secured via an Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDA”)

−Removed: ANDA products are referred to as
−Removed: generic pharmaceuticals and NDA products are referred to as branded pharmaceuticals.

−Removed: Revenue Recognition
−Removed: The Company generates revenue
−Removed: from the development of pain management products, manufacturing of a line of generic pharmaceutical products with approved ANDA, commercialization

−Removed: and other collaborations.
−Removed: The Company also generates revenue through its focus on the development of various types of drug products,
−Removed: including branded drug products which require NDAs.
−Removed: Under ASC 606, Revenue from
−Removed: Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or
−Removed: services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services.
−Removed: Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606:
−Removed: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer;
−Removed: (ii) identify
−Removed: the performance obligation(s) in the contract;
−Removed: (iii) determine the transaction price;
−Removed: (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance
−Removed: obligation(s) in the contract;
−Removed: and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
−Removed: The Company only
−Removed: applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange
−Removed: for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.
−Removed: At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope
−Removed: of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations
−Removed: and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct.
−Removed: The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction
−Removed: price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
−Removed: Sales, value add,
−Removed: and other taxes collected on behalf of third parties are excluded from revenue.
−Removed: Nature of goods and services
−Removed: The following is a description
−Removed: of the Company’s goods and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of
−Removed: performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each, as applicable:
−Removed: a) Manufacturing Fees
−Removed: The Company is equipped to
−Removed: manufacture controlled-release products on a contract basis for third parties, if and when the products are approved.
−Removed: These products
−Removed: include products using controlled-release drug technology and products utilizing abuse deterrent technologies.
−Removed: The Company also develops
−Removed: and markets (either on its own or by license to other companies) generic and proprietary controlled-release and abuse deterrent pharmaceutical
−Removed: The Company recognizes revenue
−Removed: when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms of the contract.
−Removed: product are presented gross because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible
−Removed: to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears risk of loss while the inventory is
−Removed: in-transit to the commercial partner.
−Removed: Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for
−Removed: transferring products to a customer.
−Removed: b) License Fees
−Removed: The Company enters into licensing
−Removed: and development agreements, which may include multiple revenue generating activities, including milestones payments, licensing fees,
−Removed: product sales and services.

−Removed: to determine appropriate revenue recognition.
−Removed: The terms of the license agreement may include payment to the Company of licensing fees,
−Removed: non-refundable upfront license fees, milestone payments if specified objectives are achieved, and/or royalties on product sales.
−Removed: If the contract contains
−Removed: a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation.
−Removed: Contracts that contain
−Removed: multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices
−Removed: of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation.
−Removed: The Company determines standalone selling prices based on
−Removed: the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately.
−Removed: If the standalone selling price is not observable through past transactions,
−Removed: the Company estimates the standalone selling price taking into account available information such as market conditions and internally
−Removed: approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.
−Removed: The Company recognizes revenue
−Removed: from non-refundable upfront payments at a point in time, typically upon fulfilling the delivery of the associated intellectual property
−Removed: to the customer.
−Removed: For those milestone payments which are contingent on the occurrence of particular future events (for example, payments
−Removed: due upon a product receiving FDA approval), the Company determined that these need to be considered for inclusion in the calculation
−Removed: of total consideration from the contract as a component of variable consideration using the most-likely amount method.
−Removed: As such, the Company
−Removed: assesses each milestone to determine the probability and substance behind achieving each milestone.
−Removed: Given the inherent uncertainty of
−Removed: the occurrence of future events, the Company will not recognize revenue from the milestone until there is not a high probability of a
−Removed: reversal of revenue, which typically occurs near or upon achievement of the event.
−Removed: Significant management judgment
−Removed: is required to determine the level of effort required under an arrangement and the period over which the Company expects to complete
−Removed: its performance obligations under the arrangement.
−Removed: If the Company cannot reasonably estimate when its performance obligations either
−Removed: are completed or become inconsequential, then revenue recognition is deferred until the Company can reasonably make such estimates.
−Removed: is then recognized over the remaining estimated period of performance using the cumulative catch-up method.
−Removed: When determining the transaction
−Removed: price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from a customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance,
−Removed: resulting in a significant financing component.
−Removed: Applying the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether
−Removed: a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when
−Removed: the customer pays is one year or less.
−Removed: None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of March
−Removed: In accordance with ASC 606-10-55-65,
−Removed: royalties are recognized when the subsequent sale of the customer’s products occurs.
−Removed: Collaborative Arrangements
−Removed: Contracts are considered
−Removed: to be collaborative arrangements when they satisfy the following criteria defined in ASC 808, Collaborative Arrangements :
−Removed: The parties to the contract must actively participate in the joint
−Removed: operating activity;
−Removed: The joint operating activity must expose the parties to the possibility
−Removed: of significant risk and rewards, based on whether or not the activity is successful.
−Removed: The Company considers all
−Removed: highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
−Removed: Cash and cash equivalents consist
−Removed: of cash on deposit with banks and money market instruments.
−Removed: The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality, U.S.
−Removed: financial institutions and, to date has not experienced losses on any of its balances.
−Removed: Accounts Receivable
−Removed: Accounts receivable are comprised
−Removed: of balances due from customers, net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts, if any.
−Removed: In determining collectability, historical
−Removed: trends are evaluated, and specific customer issues are reviewed on a periodic basis to arrive at appropriate allowances.
−Removed: Inventory is recorded at
−Removed: the lower of cost or market on a specific identification by lot number basis.
−Removed: Long-Lived Assets
−Removed: The Company periodically
−Removed: evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangibles, whenever events or changes in circumstances
−Removed: indicate that its carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
−Removed: Property and equipment are
−Removed: stated at cost.
−Removed: Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which
−Removed: range from three to forty years.
−Removed: Major repairs or improvements are capitalized.
−Removed: Minor replacements and maintenance and repairs which
−Removed: do not improve or extend asset lives are expensed currently.
−Removed: Upon retirement or other
−Removed: disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if
−Removed: any, is recognized in income.
−Removed: Intangible Assets
−Removed: The Company capitalizes certain
−Removed: costs to acquire intangible assets;
−Removed: if such assets are determined to have a finite useful life they are amortized on a straight-line
−Removed: basis over the estimated useful life.
−Removed: Costs to acquire indefinite lived intangible assets, such as costs related to ANDAs are capitalized
−Removed: The Company tests its intangible
−Removed: assets for impairment at least annually (as of March 31st) and whenever events or circumstances change that indicate impairment may have
−Removed: A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred.
−Removed: Such indicators may
−Removed: include, among others and without limitation:
−Removed: a significant decline in the Company’s expected future cash flows;
−Removed: a sustained, significant
−Removed: decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization;
−Removed: a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business
−Removed: climate of the Company’s segments;
−Removed: unanticipated competition;
−Removed: and slower growth rates.
−Removed: Research and Development
−Removed: Research and development expenditures
−Removed: are charged to expense as incurred.
−Removed: Lease agreements are evaluated
−Removed: to determine if they are capital leases meeting any of the following criteria at inception:
−Removed: (a) transfer of ownership;
−Removed: (b) bargain purchase
−Removed: (c) the lease term is equal to 75 percent or more of the estimated economic life of the leased property;
−Removed: or (d) the present value
−Removed: at the beginning of the lease term of the minimum lease payments, excluding that portion of the payments representing executory costs
−Removed: such as insurance, maintenance, and taxes to be paid by the lessor, including any profit thereon, equals or exceeds 90 percent of the
−Removed: excess of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at lease inception over any related investment tax credit retained by the
−Removed: lessor and expected to be realized by the lessor.
−Removed: If at its inception a lease
−Removed: meets any of the four lease criteria above, the lease is classified by the Company as a capital lease;
−Removed: and if none of the four criteria
−Removed: are met, the lease is classified by the Company as an operating lease.
−Removed: Contingencies
−Removed: Occasionally, the Company
−Removed: may be involved in claims and legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business.
−Removed: The Company records a provision for
−Removed: a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
−Removed: If these estimates and assumptions change or prove to be incorrect, it could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
−Removed: financial statements.
−Removed: Contingencies are inherently unpredictable, and the assessments of the value can involve a series of complex judgments
−Removed: about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions.
−Removed: Income taxes are accounted
−Removed: for under the asset and liability method.
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences
−Removed: attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
−Removed: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences
−Removed: are expected to be recovered or settled.
−Removed: Where applicable, the Company records a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax assets
−Removed: that it determines will not be realizable in the future.
−Removed: The Company recognizes the
−Removed: benefit of an uncertain tax position that it has taken or expects to take on income tax returns it files if such tax position is more
−Removed: likely than not to be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.
−Removed: These tax benefits
−Removed: are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
−Removed: The Company operates in multiple
−Removed: tax jurisdictions within the United States of America.
−Removed: The Company remains subject to examination in all tax jurisdiction until the applicable
−Removed: statutes of limitation expire.

−Removed: United States –
−Removed: Federal, 2015 and forward, and State, 2011 and forward.
−Removed: The Company did not have any unrecognized tax positions
−Removed: for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
−Removed: Warrants and Preferred Shares
−Removed: The accounting treatment
−Removed: of warrants and preferred share series issued is determined pursuant to the guidance provided by ASC 470, Debt , ASC 480, Distinguishing
−Removed: Liabilities from Equity , and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , as applicable.
−Removed: Each feature of a freestanding financial instruments
−Removed: including, without limitation, any rights relating to subsequent dilutive issuances, dividend issuances, equity sales, rights offerings,
−Removed: forced conversions, optional redemptions, automatic monthly conversions, dividends and exercise are assessed with determinations made
−Removed: regarding the proper classification in the Company’s financial statements.
−Removed: Stock-Based Compensation
−Removed: The Company accounts for
−Removed: stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation .
−Removed: Under the fair value recognition provisions
−Removed: of this topic, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as
−Removed: an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, based on the terms of the awards.
−Removed: The cost of the stock-based
−Removed: payments to nonemployees that are fully vested and non-forfeitable as at the grant date is measured and recognized at that date, unless
−Removed: there is a contractual term for services in which case such compensation would be amortized over the contractual term.
−Removed: In accordance with the Company’s
−Removed: Director compensation policy and certain employment contracts, director’s fees and a portion of employee’s salaries are to
−Removed: be paid via the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, in lieu of cash, with the valuation of such share being calculated
−Removed: on a quarterly basis and equal to the simple average closing price of the Company’s common stock for each trading day of the quarter
−Removed: Earnings (Loss) Per Share Applicable to
−Removed: Common Shareholders’
−Removed: The Company follows ASC 260,
−Removed: Earnings Per Share , which requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) on the face

−Removed: of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
−Removed: In the accompanying financial statements,
−Removed: basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
−Removed: during the period.
−Removed: Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect was anti-dilutive.
−Removed: Fair Value of Financial Instruments
−Removed: ASC Topic 820, Fair Value
−Removed: Measurements and Disclosures (“
−Removed: ASC Topic 820 ”) provides a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with
−Removed: generally accepted accounting principles.
−Removed: ASC Topic 820 defines fair
−Removed: value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
−Removed: at the measurement date.
−Removed: ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions
−Removed: developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market
−Removed: participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs).
−Removed: The fair value hierarchy
−Removed: consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
−Removed: liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
−Removed: The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC
−Removed: Topic 820 are described as follows:
−Removed: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible
−Removed: at the measurement date.
−Removed: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
−Removed: for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
−Removed: Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
−Removed: in active markets;
−Removed: quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active;
−Removed: inputs other than
−Removed: quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
−Removed: and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
−Removed: market data by correlation or other means.
−Removed: Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.
−Removed: The carrying amounts of the
−Removed: Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts
−Removed: payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments.
−Removed: Based upon current borrowing
−Removed: rates with similar maturities the carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value.
−Removed: Non-Financial Assets that
−Removed: are Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
−Removed: Non-financial assets such
−Removed: as intangible assets, and property and equipment are measured at fair value only when an impairment loss is recognized.
−Removed: The Company did
−Removed: not record an impairment charge related to these assets in the periods presented.
−Removed: Treasury Stock
−Removed: The Company records treasury
−Removed: stock at the cost to acquire it and includes treasury stock as a component of shareholders’
−Removed: equity (deficit).
