+Added: with the PMTA process, the FDA effectively “banned” flavored ENDS by denying nearly all then-pending PMTAs for such products.
+Added: Following the issuance of Marketing Denial Orders (“MDO”), manufacturers are required to stop selling non-tobacco flavored
+Added: ENDS products.
+Added: Bidi, along with nearly
+Added: every other company in the ENDS industry, received a MDO for its non-tobacco flavored ENDS products.
+Added: With respect to Bidi, the MDO covered
+Added: all non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks, including its Arctic (menthol) BIDI® Stick.
+Added: As a result, beginning in September 2021,
+Added: Bidi challenged the MDO.
+Added: First, on September 21, 2021, separate from the judicial appeal of the MDO in its entirety, Bidi filed a 21
+Added: §10.75 internal the FDA review request specifically
+Added: of the decision to include the Arctic (menthol) BIDI® Stick in the MDO.
+Added: In May 2022, the FDA issued a determination that it views
+Added: the Arctic BIDI® Stick as a flavored ENDS product, and not strictly a menthol flavored product.
+Added: On September 29, 2021, Bidi petitioned the U.S.
+Added: of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the “11 th Circuit”) to review the FDA’s denial of the PMTAs for its
+Added: non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Stick ENDS, arguing that it was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”),
+Added: as well as ultra vires, for the FDA not to conduct any scientific review of Bidi’s comprehensive applications, as required by the
+Added: Tobacco Control Act (“TCA”), to determine whether the BIDI® Sticks are “appropriate for the protection of the public
Bidi further argued that the FDA violated due process and the APA by failing to provide fair notice of the FDA’s
−Removed: new requirement for ENDS companies to conduct long-term comparative smoking cessation studies for their flavored products.
−Removed: 1, 2022, U.S.
−Removed: Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit granted Bidi’s motion to stay (put on hold) the MDO, pending the
−Removed: litigation on the merits.
−Removed: The court-ordered stay means that the MDO is not legally in force.
−Removed: Accordingly, we anticipate being able
−Removed: to continue marketing and selling the Products, subject to the FDA’s enforcement discretion, while Bidi continues with its
−Removed: merits case challenging the legality of the MDO.
−Removed: FDA has indicated that it is prioritizing enforcement against companies that have
−Removed: either not submitted PMTAs, or whose PMTAs have been refused acceptance or filing by FDA, or whose PMTAs remain subject to MDOs.
−Removed: arguments in the merits-based proceeding are currently scheduled for May 2022.
−Removed: Finally, on October
−Removed: 14, 2021, Bidi requested FDA re-review the MDO and reconsider its position that Bidi did not include certain scientific data in
−Removed: its applications sufficient to allow the PMTAs to proceed to scientific review.
−Removed: In light of this request, on October 22, 2021 pursuant
−Removed: § 10.35(a), FDA issued an administrative stay of Bidi’s MDO pending its re-review .
−Removed: Subsequently, FDA lifted its administrative stay on December 17, 2021.
−Removed: Following the lifting of the FDA’s administrative
−Removed: stay, Bidi filed a renewed motion to stay the MDO with the U.S.
−Removed: Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which was granted on
−Removed: February 1, 2022.
−Removed: In the event that the U.S.
−Removed: Court of Appeals
−Removed: issues for the Eleventh Circuit a ruling adverse to Bidi, or if FDA otherwise chooses to enforce against Bidi, Bidi will be forced
−Removed: to cease the continued sale of its non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Stick products in the United States, thereby resulting in the
−Removed: Company being unable to distribute such products, the Company’s business and financial condition would be materially adversely
−Removed: The Company cannot provide any assurances as to the timing or outcome of the merits-based case.
+Added: new requirement for ENDS companies to conduct long-term comparative smoking cessation studies for their flavored products, and that the
+Added: FDA should have gone through the notice and comment rulemaking process for this requirement.
+Added: On October 14, 2021, Bidi requested
+Added: that the FDA re-review the MDO and reconsider its position that Bidi did not include certain scientific data in its applications sufficient
+Added: to allow the PMTAs to proceed to scientific review.
+Added: In light of this request, on October 22, 2021, pursuant to 21 C.F.R.
+Added: the FDA issued an administrative stay of Bidi’s MDO pending its re-review.
+Added: Subsequently, the FDA decided not to rescind the MDO
+Added: and lifted its administrative stay on December 17, 2021.
+Added: Following the lifting of the FDA’s administrative stay, Bidi filed a renewed
+Added: motion to stay the MDO with the 11th Circuit.
+Added: On February 1, 2022, the appellate court granted Bidi’s motion to stay (i.e., put
+Added: on hold) the MDO, pending the litigation on the merits.
+Added: Oral arguments in the merits-based proceeding were held on May 17, 2022.
+Added: On August 23, 2022, the U.S.
+Added: of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit set aside the MDO issued to the non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks and remanded Bidi’s
+Added: Premarket Tobacco Product Application (“PMTA”) back to the FDA for further review.
+Added: Specifically, the Court held that the
+Added: MDO was “arbitrary and capricious” in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) because the FDA failed
+Added: to consider the relevant evidence before it, specifically Bidi’s aggressive and comprehensive marketing and sales-access-restrictions
+Added: plans designed to prevent youth appeal and access.
+Added: The opinion further
+Added: indicated that the FDA did not properly review the data and evidence that it has long made clear are critical to the appropriate for
+Added: the protection of the public health (“APPH”) standard for PMTAs set forth in the Tobacco Control Act including, in Bidi’s
+Added: case, “product information, scientific safety testing, literature reviews, consumer insight surveys, and details about the company’s
+Added: youth access prevention measures, distribution channels, and adult-focused marketing practices,” which “target only existing
+Added: adult vapor product users, including current adult smokers,” as well as the Company’s retailer monitoring program and state-of-the-art
+Added: anti-counterfeit authentication system.
+Added: Because a MDO must be based on a consideration of the relevant factors, such as the marketing
+Added: and sales-access-restrictions plans, the denial order was deemed arbitrary and capricious, and vacated by the FDA.
+Added: The FDA did not appeal the 11th Circuit’s decision.
+Added: The Agency had until October 7, 2022 (45 days from the August 23, 2022 decision) to either request a panel rehearing or a rehearing “en
+Added: banc” (a review by the entire 11 th Circuit, not just the 3-judge panel that issued the decision), and until November
+Added: 21, 2022 (90 days after the decision) to seek review of the decision by the U.S.
+Added: Supreme Court.
+Added: No request for a rehearing was filed,
+Added: and no petition for a writ of certiorari was made to the Supreme Court.
+Added: In the meantime, the
+Added: Company anticipates continued ability to market and sell the non-tobacco flavored BIDI® Sticks, subject to the FDA’s enforcement
+Added: discretion, for the duration of the PMTA scientific review.
+Added: Separately, on or about
+Added: May 13, 2022, the FDA placed the tobacco-flavored Classic BIDI® Stick into the final Phase III scientific review.
Risks and Uncertainties
−Removed: Historically, substantially all of the Company’s
−Removed: revenues were derived from sales of flavored BIDI® Sticks, including the Arctic (menthol) BIDI® Stick, sales of which constituted
−Removed: approximately 18.4% and 12.9% of its total sales of BIDI® Sticks for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
−Removed: The uncertainty of any potential decisions by the FDA leading up to the MDO negatively impacted the Company’s overall revenues for
−Removed: the last two quarters of fiscal 2021.
−Removed: Generally, substantially all of the ENDS industry’s revenue is derived from the sales of flavored
−Removed: In addition, Bidi has received approval to market
−Removed: and distribute products within 11 international markets, including the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and the Czech Republic.
−Removed: also secured significant intellectual property protections similar to those received in the United States from the European Union, China,
−Removed: and several other regions and countries.
−Removed: It is also important to note that the nicotine formulation in the Bidi® Stick has been modified
−Removed: and approved at the 2% level to meet the criteria for distribution in the United Kingdom and Europe.
−Removed: These international market approvals Bidi has previously
−Removed: secured are for the full formulation lineup, including all flavors.
−Removed: Because the FDA’s PMTA restrictions and guidelines do not pertain
−Removed: to international markets, Bidi intends to continue manufacturing its full product lineup, for distribution by the Company in these international
−Removed: The Company is also exploring potential partnerships with international distribution companies in order to possibly expand BIDI®
−Removed: Stick distribution more rapidly in these international markets.
−Removed: Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
−Removed: and Significant Accounting Policies
+Added: The FDA has indicated that it is prioritizing enforcement
+Added: of unauthorized ENDS against companies (1) that never submitted PMTAs, (2) whose PMTAs have been refused acceptance or filing by the FDA,
+Added: (3) whose PMTAs remain subject to MDOs, and (4) that are continuing to market unauthorized synthetic nicotine products after the July
+Added: 13, 2022, cutoff.
+Added: Subject to FDA’s enforcement discretion, until the scientific review process is complete on each of Bidi’s
+Added: PMTA’s, the Company views the risk of FDA enforcement against Bidi as low.
+Added: The Company anticipates FDA will move forward with a
+Added: review of Bidi’s PMTA on remand, as directed by the Court;
+Added: however, the Company cannot provide any assurances as to the timing or
+Added: Accordingly, the Company
+Added: anticipates FDA will move forward with a review of Bidi’s PMTA on remand, as directed by the Court.
+Added: Moreover, Bidi’s
+Added: application is particularly comprehensive, and now includes, among other things, a randomized, crossover, clinical study to assess nicotine
+Added: pharmacokinetics and subjective effects of the BIDI® Stick, several behavioral, perception and intention studies, as well as a nationally-representative
+Added: population prevalence study.
+Added: A complete scientific review of the PMTA would require FDA to review all of this information before making
+Added: an APPH determination, and while FDA could narrowly interpret the Court’s ruling as an order to review only Bidi’s marketing
+Added: and sales-access restrictions plans, the 11 th Circuit’s opinion, in the Company’s view, makes clear that all “relevant
+Added: evidence” in an application must be considered.
+Added: For applications that are in scientific review, FDA typically issues a deficiency
+Added: letter identifying its questions before making a marketing authorization decision and gives the applicant at least 90 days to respond.
+Added: This further solidifies the Company’s belief that the scientific review of Bidi’s non-tobacco flavored applications could
+Added: take 1-2 years or longer.
+Added: However, the Company cannot provide any assurances as to the timing or outcome.

+Added: The Company has positive working capital as of October 31, 2022 of $ 7,487,941 .
+Added: The Company considered that its losses and negative cash flows were due to various factors such as:
+Added: (i) uncertainty surrounding the PMTA
+Added: process with FDA and (ii) the MDO that was issued to Bidi Vapor on its flavored ENDS product.
+Added: However, the MDO was set aside and remanded
+Added: by the 11 th Circuit and the ability to appeal such decision has passed thereby facilitating the advancement of the flavored
+Added: BIDI® Sticks for sale in the United States (pending FDA’s review of the flavored PMTAs).
+Added: Concurrently, the PMTA of
+Added: the tobacco-flavored (Classic) BIDI® Sticks for sale in the United States continues to move through scientific review (pending FDA’s
+Added: review of that PMTA).
+Added: Management’s assessment included the preparation of cash flow forecasts which considered increases in revenues
+Added: considering the favorable ruling obtained on the MDO as disclosed above.
+Added: The Company believes that its available cash and the
+Added: cash to be provided by future operating activities should enable the Company to meet its estimated liquidity needs for the next 12 months
