9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management’s
Conclusions Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of January 31, 2021, the end
of the period covered by this annual report. The disclosure controls evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation
of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, who are two of our three full-time employees.
There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective
disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon this
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, due to our limited internal audit function,
our very limited staff, and our recent acquisition of 4P Therapeutics and Pocono Coated Products, which are principally responsible
for our business operations and were privately owned when we acquired them, were not effective as of January 31, 2021, such that
the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the
chief executive officer/chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to assess and report on the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Section
404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2021. In
making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting as of January 31, 2021, management identified material weaknesses related to (i) our internal audit functions (ii) inadequate
levels of review of the financial statements,(iii) a lack of segregation of duties within accounting functions, (iv) inadequate
monitoring review controls in accounting for complex transactions. Therefore, our internal controls over financial reporting were
not effective as of January 31, 2021.
Management
has determined that our internal controls contain material weaknesses due to the absence of segregation of duties, as well as
lack of qualified accounting personnel, excessive reliance on third party consultants for accounting, financial reporting and
related activities, and the lack of any separation of duties. During the past fiscal year, we have added qualified accounting
personnel so the Company does not have to rely on third party consultants. The Company has established additional monitoring controls
over the financial statements. We have also improved our internal controls to provide for a detailed accounting review of all
revenue items, and accounts receivable and payable transactions in connection with the entry and categorization of each transaction
in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. As a result of these improvements, we are confident our financial
statements as of January 31, 2021 and for the two years then ended, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition
and results of operations for all that reporting period covered by this report.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
During
the quarterly period ended January 31, 2021, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term
is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit
Committee
The
audit committee is comprised of Mr. Hamilton, as chairman, Mr. Bujoreanu and Dr. Mancas. We do not have an “audit committee
financial expert.” The audit committee oversees, reviews, acts on and reports on various auditing and accounting matters
to the board, including: the selection of our independent accountants, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the
independent accountants, the performance of our independent accountants and our accounting practices, all as set forth in our

Compensation
Committee

compensation committee is comprised of Mark Hamilton and Mr. Bujoreanu. The compensation committee oversees the compensation of
our chief executive officer and our other executive officers and reviews our overall compensation policies for employees generally
as set forth in the audit committee charter. If so authorized by the board, the compensation committee may also serve as the granting
and administrative committee under any option or other equity-based compensation plans which we may adopt. The compensation
committee will not delegate its authority to fix compensation; however, as to officers who report to the chief executive officer,
the compensation committee will consult with the chief executive officer, who may make recommendations to the compensation committee.
Any recommendations by the chief executive officer are accompanied by an analysis of the basis for the recommendations. The committee
will also discuss with the chief executive officer and other responsible officers the compensation policies for employees who
are not officers. The compensation committee has the responsibilities and authority relating to the retention, compensation, oversight
and funding of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other compensation advisers. The compensation committee members will
consider the independence of such advisors before selecting or receiving advice from such advisors.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Nutriband
Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of Nutriband Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements
of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January
31, 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2021 and 2020, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2021, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform,
an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are
matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated
to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved
our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our
opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a
separate audit opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessment
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company performs impairment testing for its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that its carrying amount may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Due to challenging industry and economic conditions, the Company
tested its long-lived assets during the year ended January 31, 2021.
We identified the evaluation of the impairment
analysis for long-lived assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the
related cash flow analysis. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high
degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the following:
· Testing management’s process for developing
the fair value estimate.
· Evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow
model used by management.
· Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying
data used in the fair value estimate.
· Evaluating the significant assumptions used by
management related to revenues, gross margin, other operating expenses, income taxes and long-term growth rate to discern whether they
are reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the entity; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry
data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
· Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm
to assist in the evaluation of the discounted cash flow model and discount rate assumptions.
Goodwill Impairment Assessment
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in note 1 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level, or more frequently, if events or
circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Reporting
units are tested for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded based on the difference between the fair value
and carrying amount, not to exceed the associated carrying amount of goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment test occurred on
January 31, 2021.
We identified the evaluation of the impairment
analysis for goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the discounted
cash flow analysis performed by management to determine fair value of the reporting unit. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the
reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the following:
· Testing management’s process for developing
the fair value estimate.
· Evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted
cash flow model used by management.
· Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying
data used in the fair value estimate.
· Evaluating the significant assumptions used by
management related to revenues, gross margin, other operating expenses, income taxes, long-term growth rate, and discount rate to discern
whether they are reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the entity; (ii) the consistency with external market
and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
· Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge
were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the discounted cash flow model and discount rate assumptions.
Business Combinations
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
As described in note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company completed an acquisition agreement wherein the Company acquired the net assets from one entity and 100%
ownership of a second entity for total consideration of $7,418,073. The acquisition was accounted for a business combination.
The recognition, measurement and disclosure
of the Company’s business combination in the January 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements was considered especially challenging
and required significant auditor judgment due to the complex determination by management of the appropriate assumptions, such as discount
rates, revenue growth rates, and projected profit margins, for the valuation of acquired net assets and expected probabilities of key
outcomes for the valuation of assumed liabilities. The Company used income valuation models including Relief from Royalty, Multi-Period
Excess Earnings and With and Without Method to measure the Intellectual property, customer base and tradenames.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the following:
· Testing management’s process for developing
the fair value estimate.
· Evaluating the appropriateness of the income
valuation models used by management.
· Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying
data used in the fair value estimate.
· Evaluating the significant assumptions used by
management related to sales growth, discount rates, royalty rates cost of goods and operating overhead to discern whether they are reasonable
considering (i) the current and past performance of the entity; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii)
whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
· Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge
were utilized by the Firm to assist in the evaluation of the discounted cash flow model and discount rate assumptions.
Evaluation of a Going Concern
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
As described further in Note 1 to the financial
statements, in the current year the Company has recorded operating losses, negative working capital, negative cash flows from operations
and an accumulated deficit, which raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management has implemented plans to alleviate
the substantial doubt. Management plans to address the concerns, as needed, by (a) utilizing recent financing obtained through equity
issuances; (b) delaying planned expenditures and (c) relying on recent increases in revenues and positive cash flow trends. When considering
these factors in conjunction with the Company’s operating plan, management believes it has sufficient ability to fund operations
and satisfy
the Company’s obligations as they come due for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.
We determined the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern is a critical audit matter due to the estimation and execution uncertainty regarding the Company’s
available capital and the risk of bias in management’s judgments and assumptions in their determination.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed
in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the Company’s
assertion on its ability to continue as a going concern included the following, among others:
· We performed testing procedures such as analytical
procedures to identify conditions and events that indicate there could be substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as
a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
· We reviewed and evaluated management's plans
for dealing with adverse effect of these conditions and events that raised doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
· We tested the reasonableness of management’s assessment of whether the
Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least one year from the financial statement issuance date.
· We assessed whether the Company’s determination
that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern was adequately disclosed.

NUTRIBAND
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS
OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2021 AND 2020
1. ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
Nutriband
Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on January 4, 2016. In January 2016, the Company acquired
Nutriband Ltd, an Irish company which was formed by the Company’s chief executive officer in 2012 to enter the health and
wellness market by marketing transdermal patches. References to the Company relate to the Company and its subsidiaries unless
the context indicates otherwise.
On
August 1, 2018, the Company acquired 4P Therapeutics LLC (“4P Therapeutics”) for $2,250,000, consisting of 250,000
shares of common stock, valued at $1,850,000, and $400,000, and a royalty of 6% on all revenue generated by the Company from the
abuse deterrent intellectual property that had been developed by 4P Therapeutics payable to the former owner of 4P Therapeutics.
The former owner of 4P Therapeutics has been a director of the Company since April 2018, when the Company entered into an agreement
to acquire 4P Therapeutics.
4P
Therapeutics is engaged in the development of a series of transdermal pharmaceutical products, that are in the preclinical stage
of development. Prior to the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, the Company’s business was the development and marketing of
a range of transdermal consumer patches. Most of these products are considered drugs in the United States and cannot be marketed
in the United States without approval by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The Company is not presently
taking any steps to seek FDA approval of its consumer transdermal products and its consumer products are not being marketed in
the United States.
With
the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, 4P Therapeutics’ drug development business became the Company’s principal business.
The Company’s approach is to use generic drugs that are off patent and incorporate them into the Company’s transdermal
drug delivery system. Although these medications have received FDA approval in oral or injectable form, the Company needs to conduct
a transdermal product development program which will include the preclinical and clinical trials that are necessary to receive
FDA approval before we can market any of our pharmaceutical products.
On
August 25, 2020, the Company formed Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Pocono Pharmaceuticals”), a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. On August 31, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities associated with the Transdermal, Topical,
Cosmetic, and Nutraceutical business of Pocono Coated Products LLC (“PCP”). The net assets were contributed to Pocono
Pharmaceuticals. Included in the transaction the Company also acquired 100% of the membership interests of Active Intelligence
LLC (“Active Intelligence”). See Note 2 for further details of the acquisition.
Pocono Pharmaceuticals is a coated products manufacturing entity
organized to take advantage of unique process capabilities and experience. Pocono helps their customer with product design and
development along with manufacturing to bring new products to market with minimal capital investment. Pocono Pharmaceutical’s
competitive edge is a low-cost manufacturing base: a result of its unique processes and state of the art material technology. Active
Intelligence manufactures activated kinesiology tape. The tape has transdermal and topical properties. This tape is the same as
traditional kinesiology tape.
In
December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread world-wide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a
pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mediating various restrictions, including travel
restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining people who may have been
exposed to the virus. The effect of these orders, government imposed quarantines and measures the Company would take, such as
work-at-home policies, may negatively impact productivity, disrupt our business and could delay our clinical programs and timelines,
the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and disruptions in our operations
could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. Further, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar
government orders, or the perception that such orders, shutdowns, or other restrictions on the conduct of business could occur,
related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases could impact personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities in the United
States and other countries, or the availability or cost of materials, which could disrupt our supply chain.
F- 7
Reverse
Stock Split
On
June 25, 2019, the Company effected one-for-four reverse split, pursuant to which each share of common stock became and was converted
into 0.25 share of common stock. The reverse split became effective in the marketplace on July 24, 2019. All share and per share
information in these financial statements retroactively reflect the reverse split.
Going
Concern
As of January 31, 2021, the Company believes
the substantial doubt about going concern has been resolved. The going concern conditions that caused substantial doubt consisted of current
year net loss, negative working capital, negative cash flow, and accumulated deficit. Management has implemented plans to alleviate the
substantial doubt. These plans include a substantial increase in sales commitments, a decrease in planned overhead expenses, equity funding
that has been received and the net revenue and positive cash flow from its recent acquisition. These factors did not exist in prior years
during its start-up operations. The Company’s recent history of losses has changed from prior periods due to its current management’s
plans including its acquisition in the latter part of 2020 to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans have been currently implemented. The plans enable the Company to meet its obligations for
at least one year from the date when the financial statements are issued.
Significant
Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated. The operations of 4P Therapeutics are included in the Company’s financial
statements from the date of acquisition of August 1, 2018 and the operations of Pocono and Active Intelligence are included in
the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition of September 1, 2020. The wholly owned subsidiaries are
as follows:
Nutriband
Ltd.
4P
Therapeutics LLC
Pocono
Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company
evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to, those related to such items as income tax exposures, accruals, depreciable/useful
lives, allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience
and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis
for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
equivalents include short-term investments in money-market funds and certificate of deposits with an original maturity of three
months or less when purchased.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
functional currency of the Company’s Irish subsidiary is the Euro. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated
into US dollars using the prevailing exchange rate as of the balance sheet date and income and expenses are translated into US
dollars using the average exchange rate during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are recorded in other comprehensive
income (loss).
F- 8
Revenue
Recognition
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”),
which amends the accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition
of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to a customer. The Company adopted the
guidance under the new revenue standards using the modified retrospective method effective February 1, 2018 and determined no
cumulative effect adjusted to retained earnings was necessary upon adoption. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenues
when control of the promised goods or services and receipt of payment is probable. The Company recognizes revenue based on the
five criteria for revenue recognition established under Topic 606: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify separate performance
obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations, and 5) recognize
revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue
Types
The
following is a description of the Company’s revenue types, which include professional services and sale of goods:
● Service
revenues include the contract of research and development related services with the Company’s
clients in the life sciences field on an as-needed basis. Deliverables primarily consist
of detailed findings and conclusion reports provided to the client for each given research
project engaged.
● Product
revenues are derived from the sale of the Company’s consumer transdermal and coated
products. Upon the reception of a purchase order, we have the order filled and shipped.
Contracts
with Customers
A
contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s
rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services,
(ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services
that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
Deferred
Revenue
Deferred
revenue is a liability related to a revenue producing activity for which revenue has not been recognized. The Company records
deferred revenue when it receives consideration from a contract before achieving certain criteria that must be met for revenue
to be recognized in conformity with GAAP.
Performance
Obligations
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account
in the new revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized
as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For the Company’s different revenue service types, the
performance obligation is satisfied at different times. The Company’s performance obligations include providing products
and professional services in the area of research. The Company recognizes product revenue performance obligations in most cases
when the product has shipped to the customer. When we perform professional service work, we recognize revenue when we have the
right to invoice the customer for the work completed, which typically occurs over time on a monthly basis for the work performed
during that month.
All
revenue recognized in the income statement is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.
F- 9
Disaggregation

The
Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type and by geographical location. See the tables:

Accounts
receivable
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its allowances
by both specific identification of customer accounts where appropriate and the application of historical loss to non-specific
accounts. For the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded no bad debt expense and no allowance for doubtful
accounts related to accounts receivable.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost and realizable value determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. The cost of finished
goods and work in progress is comprised of material costs, direct labor costs and other direct costs and related production overheads
(based on normal operating capacity).
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property
and equipment represent an important component of the Company’s assets. The Company depreciates its plant and equipment
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost.
Expenditures for minor repairs, maintenance and replacement parts which do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged
to expense as incurred. All major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method. The lives over which the fixed assets are depreciated range from 3 to 10 years as follows:
Lab Equipment
5-10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 years
Machinery and equipment
10-20 years
F- 10
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets include trademarks, intellectual property and customer base acquired through business combinations. The Company accounts
for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The Company capitalizes
certain costs related to patent technology. A substantial component of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisition
has also been assigned to intellectual property and other intangibles. Under the guidance, other intangible assets with definite
lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment.
Trademarks, intellectual property and customer base are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years.
Goodwill
Goodwill
represents the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities
at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually on January 31, and more frequently as circumstances warrant,
and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceeds their fair value. The Company does not
amortize goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. On August 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pocono
Coated Products LLC and Active Intelligence LLC, the Company recorded Goodwill of $5,810,640. As of January 31, 2021, Goodwill
amounted to $7,529,875.
Long-lived
Assets
Management
reviews long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is
not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds
the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If
an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between fair market value of the long-lived asset and the
related net book value.
Stock-Based
Compensation
ASC
718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment
transactions in which employee services, and, since February 1, 2019, non-employees, are acquired. Transactions include incurring
liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans
and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as
compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during
which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the
vesting period). As of February 1, 2019, pursuant to ASC 2018-07, ASC 718 was applied to stock-based compensation for both employees
and non-employees.
Business
Combinations
The
Company recognizes the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity at the
acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the accounting literature.
In accordance with this guidance, acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from
the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces the cost-allocation process detailed in previous accounting
literature, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair value.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), to provide a new comprehensive model for lease accounting
under this guidance, lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use” model in accounting for all leases (including
subleases) and eliminate the concept of operating leases and off-balance-sheet leases. Recognition, measurement and presentation
of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Similar modifications have been made to lessor accounting
in-line with revenue recognition guidance.
F- 11
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as amended effective February 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. In connection with
the adoption, the Company elected to utilize the Comparative Under 840 Option whereby the Company will continue to present prior
period financial statements and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company elected the transition package of three practical
expedients permitted under the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification,
lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company completed the necessary changes to its accounting policies, processes,
disclosure and internal control over financial reporting.
Research
and Development
Research
and developments costs are expensed as incurred.
Income
Taxes
Taxes
are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the United States and Ireland.
The
Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under
this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and
tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The
effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
The
Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent they believe these assets will more-likely-than-not be realized. In
making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing
taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In
the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess
of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for
income taxes.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash.
The
Company’s cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in banks. At times, such deposits could be in
excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s financial
instruments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments.
As of and for the year ended January 31, 2020, three customers accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenues and two customers
accounted for 100% of accounts receivable. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 62% of the
Company’s revenues and two customers accounted for 67% and 13% of accounts receivable.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of
common stock consist of outstanding common stock purchase warrants. For the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020 there were 141,830
and 70,000 potential shares of common stock that were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect
would be anti-dilutive.
F- 12
Fair
Value Measurements
FASB
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the exchange price
that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market
for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a
fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs
when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be to measure fair value.
The
Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities
and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements
on a recurring basis during the reporting period. The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use
of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would
use in pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in
measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:
Level
1 -Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.
Level
2 -Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level
3 -Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid
expenses, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.
Derivative
liabilities are determined based on “Level 3” inputs, which are significant and unobservable and have the lowest priority.
The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair value because of their nature and respective
short maturity dates or durations.
Derivative
Liabilities
The
Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” and all derivative
instruments are reflected as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. The Company uses estimates at fair
value to value its derivative instruments. Fair value is defined as the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between willing and able market participants. In general, the Company’s policy in estimating fair values is
to first look at observable market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets, when available. When these are
not available, other inputs are used to model fair value such as prices of similar instruments, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment
speeds, default rates and credit spreads, relying first on observable data from active markets. Depending on the availability
of observable inputs and prices, different valuation models could produce materially different fair value estimates. The value
presented may not represent future fair values and may not be reliable. The Company categorizes its fair value estimates in accordance
with ASC 820 based on the hierarchical framework associated with the three levels of price transparency utilized in measuring
financial instruments at fair value as discussed above. As of January 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had a $-0- and $928,774
derivative liability, respectively.
Fair
value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial statement. These
estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matter of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined
with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure
Requirements”. The updated guidance improves the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement. The updated guidance
is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted
the provisions effective February 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
position or consolidated results of operations.
F- 13
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies
ASC 740 to reduce complexity while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial
statements. ASU 209-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently assessing
the impact of ASU 209-12, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has reviewed all other FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates
during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter
previous GAAP and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the company’s reported
financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of
the Company’s financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
2. ACQUISITION
OF BUSINESS
On
August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), with Pocono Coated Products (“PCP”),
pursuant to which PCP agreed to sell the Company certain of the assets and liabilities associated with its Transdermal, Topical,
Cosmetic, and Nutraceutical business, including: (1) all the equipment, intellectual property and trade secrets, cash balances,
receivables, bank accounts and inventory, free and clear of all liens, except for certain lease obligations, and (2), a 100% membership
interest in Active Intelligence, LLC (collectively the “Assets”). The net assets acquired were contributed to Pocono
Pharmaceuticals Inc, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,085,180
paid with the issuance of 608,519 shares in the Company’s common stock of Nutriband at a value of the average price of the
previous 90 days at the date of Closing (the “Shares”), and (ii) a promissory note of the Company, net of debt discount,
in the principal amount, of $1,332,893 (the Note”) which is due upon the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from issuance,
or (b) immediately following a capital raise of not less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000.
Michael Myer, the CEO of PCP, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Company for period of one year at the annual meeting
of shareholders of the Company held in October 2020.
The
Agreement provides that it is effective August 31, 2020, on which date the parties also entered into an escrow agreement (the
“Escrow Agreement”), with legal counsel serving as the escrow agent, providing for holding of the Note, certificate
for the shares, and title to the Assets (held in a special purpose subsidiary) as collateral security for completion of all closing
conditions under the Agreement. On that date, the parties also entered into a security agreement granting PCP a security interest
in all proceeds of the Assets held as collateral under the Escrow Agreement.
The
purpose of the Company entering into the transaction is to enhance the transdermal products operations of the Company. The fair
value of consideration given was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, both the PCP segment and Active
Intelligence were considered to be businesses and, as such, the transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of
accounting.

4. INCOME
TAXES
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”). As a result of the implementation of
ASC 740, the Company recognized no adjustment in the net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company believes
there are no potential uncertain tax positions, and all tax returns are correct as filed. Should the Company recognize a liability
for uncertain tax positions, the Company will separately recognize the liability for uncertain tax positions on its balance sheet.
Included in any liability or uncertain tax positions, the Company will also setup a liability for interest and penalties. The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the current
provision for income taxes.
There
is no U.S. tax provision due to losses from U.S. operations for the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020. Deferred income taxes
are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities.
The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is the net operating loss carryforward in the U.S. Valuation allowances are established
when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has set up a valuation allowance
for losses for certain carryforwards that it believes may not be realized.

The
provision for income taxes consists of the following:

As
of January 31, 2021, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset associated with a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward
of approximately $5,300,000 that was fully offset by a valuation allowance due to the determination that it was more likely than
not that the Company would be unable to utilize those benefits in the foreseeable future. The Company’s NOL expires in 2038.
The valuation allowance increased by approximately $810,000 during the year ended January 31, 2021. On December 22, 2017, the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things,
reducing the corporate rate from 34% to 21%. Because the Company recognizes a valuation allowance for the entire balance, there
is no net impact to the Company’s balance sheet or results of operations.
The
types of temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts that give rise
to the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset and their approximate tax effects are as follows:

Convertible
Debt
On
October 30, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two investors pursuant to which the Company issued
to the investors (i) 6% one-year convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $270,000 and (ii) three-year warrant
to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) $20.90 or (ii) if the Company completes
a public offering, 110% of the initial public offering price of the common stock in the public offering. The loans contained an
original issue discount of $20,000 resulting in gross proceeds from this financing of $250,000.
The
notes are convertible at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the per share price of our common stock offered in a public
offering or (ii) the variable conversion price, which is defined as 70% of the lowest trading price of the common stock during
the 20 trading days preceding the date of conversion. The conversion price and the percentage of the trading price is subject
to downward adjustment in the event the Company fails to comply with the obligations under the notes. The Company has the right
to prepay the notes during the 180 days following the issuance of the notes at a premium of 115% of the outstanding principal
and interest during the 60 days following the date of issuance of the note, which percentage increases to 125% during the remainder
of the 180-day period. The Company is required to pay the notes one business day after the closing of the first to occur of (a)
the next public offering of the Company’s securities or (b) the next private placement of the Company’s equity or
debt securities in which the Borrower received net proceeds of at least $1.0 million, (c) issuance of securities pursuant to an
equity line of credit or (d) a financing with a bank or other institutional lender.

The
embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815-15 Derivative and Hedging. The initial
fair of the conversion feature was $128,870 and the fair value of the warrants in connection with the notes were valued at $888,789
and were recorded based on their relative fair values. A debt discount to the note payables of $270,000 and an initial derivative
discount of $767,650 was recorded.
The
debt discount will be amortized over the life of the note. Amortization of the debt discount for the year ended January 31, 2020

7. DERIVATIVE
LIABILITIES
The
embedded conversion option of the convertible debentures described in Note 4 contain conversion features that qualify for embedded
derivative classification. The fair value of the liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the
change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

12. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTIGENCIES
Legal
Proceedings
On
July 27, 2018, the Company commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida,
against Advanced Health Brands, Inc., Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Laura Fillman and John Baker, together
with a Motion for Temporary Injunction Without Notice and a Motion for Prejudgment Writ of Replevin arising from the Company’s
decision to seek to rescind for misrepresentation the agreement by which the Company acquired advanced Health Brands, Inc. for
1,250,000 shares of common stock valued at $2,500,000 and seek return of the shares. On August 2, 2018, the court entered a Temporary
Injunction Without Notice and an Order to Show Cause against the defendants. Defendants Kalmar, Murphy, Polly-Murphy, and Baker
filed a Motion to Dismiss the Company’s Verified Complaint, Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction Without Notice and Response
to Order to Show Cause, and Motion to Compel Arbitration. On January 4, 2019, the court dismissed the Company’s complaint
with prejudice, and directed the defendants to assign the Company within 30 days, the six patents never duly transferred to the
Company. On February 1, 2019, the Company appealed the court’s order. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with one of the
defendants, that defendant returned the 50,000 shares which had been issued to her, and the shares were cancelled as of January
31, 2019. On June 7, 2019, the individual defendants (other than the defendant whom the Company has a settlement agreement), filed
a motion for sanctions and civil contempt against us, which generally claimed that we failed to comply with the Court’s
January 4, 2019 order by refusing to issue the Ruling 144 letters that would allow the defendants to transfer their shares of
common stock. On October 29, 2019, the Court denied the Defendants motion. On March 20, 2020, the Florida district court of appeal
reversed the lower court ruling in the Florida state court action that dismissed our complaint, with prejudice, and gave us leave
to file an amended complaint. On July 7, 2020, Defendants filed Notice for Trial, requesting the court to set a trial date. The
Company and defendants have served their first set of interrogatories on each other and have filed answers and responses to each
other’s first set of interrogatories.
F- 22
On
August 22, 2018, four of the defendants in the Florida action described in the previous paragraph filed a complaint against the
Company in the Franklin County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas seeking a declaratory judgment permitting them to sell the shares of
common stock they received pursuant to the acquisition agreement. The parties have agreed to a stay pending the outcome of the
Florida litigation.
On
April 29, 2019, the Company filed a securities fraud action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against
Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Advanced Health Brands and TD Therapeutic, Inc. In the complaint the Company
alleges that in 2017, the defendants fraudulently and deceitfully obtained 1,250,000 shares of common stock by orchestrating a
months-long scheme to defraud the Company. The Company is seeking the return of the shares of common stock and monetary damages
resulting from the defendants’ fraudulent conduct. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on August 23,
2019, and on September 13, 2019 the Company filed its response. On July 20, 2020, the Court denied the defendant’s motion
to dismiss the complaint, and the parties have recently commenced the discovery phase of the litigation. No trial date has been
scheduled by the Court.
Employment
