NUTRIBAND
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
as
of and for the Six Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
1.
ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
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 used as 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.

2. SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unaudited
Interim Financial Statements
The consolidated balance sheet as of
July 31, 2021, and the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented have
been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for all
periods presented have been made. The results for the six months ended July 31, 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in Nutriband’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S.
GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations, including
the interim reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
and the disclosures of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ
from estimates.
The
Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended January 31, 2021. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the six months July 31, 2021.
Going
Concern
As of July 31, 2021, the Company believes
the substantial doubt about its status as a going concern has been resolved. The going concern conditions that caused substantial doubt
consisted of current quarter 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 additional funding expected to be received, and the net revenue from its recent acquisitions.
These factors did not exist in prior years during its start-up operations. The Company’s recent history of losses has continued
but future positive cash flow projections due to revenue commitments and decreases in overhead as well as expected equity funding will
enable the Company 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.
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.
8
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 other various 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.
The
Company’s significant policies are summarized in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January
31, 2021. There were no significant changes to the accounting policies during the six months ended July 31, 2021, and the Company does
not expect that the adoption of other accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
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.
9
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.

Account
receivable
Trade
accounts receivables 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-applicable accounts.
For the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded no bad debt expense for doubtful accounts related to account receivable.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower of cost and reasonable value determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net reasonable 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 process is comprised of material costs, direct labor costs and other direct costs and related production overheads (based
on normal operating capacity). As of July 31, 2021, 100 % of the inventory consists of raw materials.
10
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 20 years as follows:
Lab Equipment
5 - 10 years
Furniture and fixtures
3 years
Machinery and equipment
10 - 20 years
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 acquisitions have 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 July 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 the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related book value.
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
shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock purchase warrants. As of July 31, 2021, and 2020, there were
141,830 common stock equivalents outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect
would be anti-dilutive.
11
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.
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 used 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
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.
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 July 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021, the Company had no derivative liabilities.
12
Recent
Accounting Standards
The
Company has implemented all new pronouncements, including the adoption of ASU 2018-13 and ASU 2019-12, that are in effect and that may
impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been
issued that might have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
3. 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.

5. NOTES
PAYABLE/CONVERTIBLE DEBT
Notes
Payable
On
March 21, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES ACT” was enacted. The CARES ACT established
the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which funds small businesses through federally guaranteed loans. Under the PPP, companies
are eligible for forgiveness of principal and interest if the proceeds are used for eligible payroll costs, rent and utility costs. On
June 17, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, 4P Therapeutics, was advanced $34,870 under the PPP, all of which was forgiven as of April
30, 2021. The Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $34,870 during the six months ended July 31, 2021.
In
July 2020, a minority shareholder made an additional loan to the Company in the amount of $ 100,000 . The loan is interest-free and due
upon demand. The loan was outstanding as July 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021.
Active
Intelligence, the Company’s newly acquired subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the Carolina Small Business Development Fund
for a line of credit of $ 160,000 due October 16, 2029, with interest of 5 % per year. The amount assumed in Note 3 was $ 139,184 . The loan
requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $ 1,697 . During the six months ended July 31, 2021, principal and interest payments
of $ 8,344 were forgiven under the Cares Act. The amount, $ 8,344 , has been recorded as a gain on the forgiveness of debt. As of July 31,
2021, the amount due was $ 122,196 , of which $ 14,119 is current.

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 expense of $ 767,650
was recorded.
The
debt discount will be amortized over the life of the note. Amortization of the debt discount for the six months ended July 31, 2020,
was $ 202,500 .
15
On
March 25, 2020, the Company prepaid the convertible notes in the principal amount of $ 270,000 from the proceeds of a private placement.
The total payments, including a prepayment fee of $ 69,131 and accrued interest, was $ 345,565 . As a result of the payment of the notes,
the derivative liability, which was $ 928,774 as of January 31, 2020, was reduced to zero. The warrants are no longer a derivative liability
based on the notes being paid in full.
Interest expense
for the six months ended July 31, 2021was $ 81,888 including the amortization of the debt discount of $ 73,108 and interest expense of $ 8,780 .

10. 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.
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.
18
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. The Court has scheduled a trial date in November 2021.
Employment
Agreements
The
Company entered into a three-year employment agreement with Gareth Sheridan, our CEO, effective April 25, 2019. The agreement also provides
that the executive will continue as a director. The agreement provides for an initial term, commencing on the effective date of the agreement
and ending on January 31, 2024, and continuing on a year-to-year basis thereafter unless terminated by either party on not less than
30 days’ notice given prior to the expiration of the initial term or any one-year extension. For his services to the Company during
the term of the agreement, Mr. Sheridan receives an annual salary $ 42,000 per annum, commencing on the effective date of the agreement
and increasing to $ 170,000 per annum in the month in which the Company shall have received not less than $ 2,500,000 from one or more
public or private financings of the Company’s equity securities subsequent to the date of the agreement. During the year ended
January 31, 2021, the salary was increased to $ 60,000 per annum.
Rambam
Agreement
On
December 9, 2020, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Rambam Med-Tech Ltd. (“Rambam”),
Haifa, Israel, to develop the RAMBAM Closed System Transfer Device (“CTSD”) and such other products as the parties agree
to develop/commercialize. The Company will license from Rambam the full technology, IP, and title to CTSD in the field, with an Initial
license fee of $ 50,000 and running royalties on net sales. The $ 50,000 license fee was paid by a third party at the direction of the
Company in February 2021, at which time the agreement became effective.
The
Company had entered into a prior agreement, dated November 13, 2020, with BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel (“BPM”), that, in
consideration of BPM’s introduction of Rambam to the Company, provided for BPM to have the rights as the exclusive of agent of
the Company with Rambam and any other parties similarly introduced by BPM, and for a commission payable to BPM by the Company of 4.5%
of revenues received by the Company resulting from the introduction of Rambam (and any other companies as to which the exclusive agency
of BPM was in effect), and for BPM’s payment of a royalty to Rambam. If the Company fails to commercialize the medical products
subject to the License Agreement with Rambam within 36 months, under the November 13, 2020 agreement, BPM and the Company would share
50/50 in the revenues generated from sales of the licensed products from Rambam. This agreement further provides that it will be effective
for a period of 10 years, with either party having the right to terminate on notice given 30 days prior to the desired termination, and
also provided for certain territorial distribution rights of BPM as are set forth in the March 10, 2021 Distribution Agreement between
the Company and BPM.
BPM
Distribution and Stock Purchase Agreements
(a) On
March 10, 2021, the Company finalized the Distribution Agreement with BPM, providing for distribution of the medical products developed
and produced under the License Agreement. Under the Distribution Agreement, BPM has the right to distribute the medical products
in Israel and has a right of first refusal in relation to all other countries/states, other than United States, Korea, China, Vietnam,
Canada and Ecuador, which are termed excluded countries.
(b) The
Company and BPM entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), dated December 7, 2020, providing for the purchase by BPM
of 81,396 shares of common stock at a price of $8.60 per share, or $700,000. In December 2020, the Company received an initial
payment of $60,000 under the SPA, which is included in Stockholders’ Equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as
of January 31, 2021. On February 25, 2021, in connection with the Company’s License Agreement with Rambam, pursuant to the SPA,
the Company issued 81,395 shares of common stock to BPM and received the balance of the proceeds of $700,000 to be applied to product
development expenses under the License Agreement.
19
11. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
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 all of the assets associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic and Nutraceutical
business (the “Assets”). PCP is the manufacturer of our transdermal products, and we bought that business from them. The
purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,000,000 paid in shares of the Company’s common stock at a value of the average price of
the previous 90 days at the date of Closing (the “Shares”); (ii) a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount
of $1,500,000, which is due upon the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from issuance, or (b) immediately following a capital raise of
no less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000.
On
August 31, 2021 we entered into an amendment to the Agreement with the parties to the Agreement that provides for an extension of the
August 31, 2021 due date of the $ 1,500,000 note issued in the transaction to September 30, 2021, and extends the time limit set forth
in Section 5.3(a) of the Agreement for completion of the Listing and for payment of the Note in full until September 30, 2021.

Overview
Our
primary business is the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our lead product is our abuse deterrent fentanyl
transdermal system which we are developing to provide clinicians and patients with an extended-release transdermal fentanyl product for
use in managing chronic pain requiring around the clock opioid therapy combined with properties designed to help combat the opioid crisis
by deterring the abuse and misuse of fentanyl patches. We believe that our abuse deterrent technology can be broadly applied to various
transdermal products and our strategy is to follow the development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system with the development
of additional transdermal prescription products for pharmaceuticals that have risks or a history of abuse. In addition, we are developing
a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products to deliver commercially available drugs or biologics that are typically delivered
by injection but with the potential to improve compliance and therapeutic outcomes.
Because
of our financial position, we have put our development efforts with respect to these products on hold, and our only business is the performance
of contract services for a small number of customers. Because of both our financial position and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,
our contract service business has also been scaled back. The description of our business in this annual report is based on our ability
to raise significant financing or enter into a joint venture agreement with a third party that has the financial ability to fund the
joint venture’s operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain necessary financing or enter into a joint venture
agreement on reasonable, if any, terms. If we are not able to continue obtain financing or enter into a joint venture agreement, we may
not be able to continue in business.
21
Through
July 31, 2018, our business was the development of a line of consumer and health products that are delivered through a transdermal patch
which we plan to sell internationally. Consumer products are products that are sold over the counter and do not require a prescription.
Most of our consumer products require FDA approval for sale in the United States, and we have not sought to obtain, and we do not plan
to seek to obtain, FDA approval to market these products in the United States at this time. Following our acquisition of Pocono, our
focus is primarily now on providing contract manufacturing services and consulting services to 3 rd party brands with no intention
at this time to launch our own consumer products.
With
our acquisition of 4P Therapeutics on August 1, 2018, our focus changed, and we are seeking to develop and seek FDA approval on a number
of transdermal pharmaceutical products under development by 4P Therapeutics. As a result of the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, we have
pipeline of potential products.
4P
Therapeutics has not generated any revenue from any of its products under development. Rather, prior to our acquisition, 4P Therapeutics
generated revenue to provide cash for its operations through contract research and development and related services for a small number
of clients in the life sciences field on an as-needed basis. We are, for the near term, continuing this activity, although we do not
anticipate that it will generate significant revenues and, since our acquisition, it has generated a negative gross margin. We have no
long-term contractual obligations, and either party can terminate at any time.
With
the change in our focus, our capital requirements have increased substantially. The process of developing pharmaceutical products and
submitting them for FDA approval is both time consuming and expensive, with no assurance of obtaining approval from the FDA to market
our product in the United States. We have budgeted $5.0 million for research and development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal
system, including clinical manufacturing and clinical trials that need to be completed in order to obtain FDA approval. However, the
total cost could be substantially in excess of that amount.
On
March 25, 2020, we completed a private placement of 46,828 units at a price of $11 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common
stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $14 per share. The warrants expire April 30, 2023.
We issued a total of 46,828 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 46,828 shares of common stock. We received proceeds of $515,113.
On
March 25, 2020, w e paid off the convertible notes in the principal amount of $270,000 from the proceeds of the private placement.
The total payments, including the prepayment penalty and accrued interest, was $345,656. The payment was made from the proceeds of the
private placement. As a result of the payment of the notes, the derivative liability, which was $928,774 at July 31, 2020, was reduced
to zero. As a result of a completed private placement, the warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at the lesser of (i) $20.90 or, (ii) if
the Company completes its public offering of its common stock, 110% of the initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the public
offering, became a warrant to purchase 95,000 warrants at $11 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the antidilution provisions
of the warrant. The Company recorded a derivative liability for the warrants in the amount of $906,678 and reclassed the derivative liability
to additional paid-in capital as of January 31, 2021.
In
March 2020, a minority stockholder who had previously made loans to us in the total amount of $215,00, made an additional loan to us
in the amount of $60,000, increasing the total loans from the stockholder to $275,000. On March 27, 2020, we issued 25,000 shares of
common stock upon conversion of the notes.
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 all of the assets associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic and Nutraceutical
business (the “Assets”). PCP is the manufacturer of our transdermal products, and we bought that business from them. The
purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,000,000 paid in shares of the Company’s common stock at a value of the average price of
the previous 90 days at the date of Closing (the “Shares”); (ii) a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount
of $1,500,000, which is due upon the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from issuance, or (b) immediately following a capital raise of
no less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000.
On
August 31, 2021 we entered into an amendment to the Agreement with the parties to the Agreement that provides for an extension of the
August 31, 2021 due date of the $1,500,000 note issued in the transaction to September 30, 2021, and extends the time limit set forth
in Section 5.3(a) of the Agreement for completion of the Listing and for payment of the Note in full until September 30, 2021.
Pursuant
to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), dated December 7, 2020, with the Company, BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel, purchased
81,396 shares of common stock at a price of $8.60 per share, or $700,000, which provided payment for the RamBam license. The transaction
was completed at a closing on February 26, 2021.
22
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
For
the three months ended July 31, 2021, we generated revenue of $213,739 and our costs of revenue were $186,762, resulting in a gross margin
of $26,977. For the three months ended July 31, 2020, we generated revenue of $84,450 and our costs of revenue were $116,937, resulting
in negative gross margin of $32,487. Our revenue for July 31, 2021 was derived from sales from our recent acquisition of transdermal
patches. Since we do not have the funds for development of our lead product, the 4P Therapeutics fixed costs are allocated to the contract
services that we perform for clients. Our cost of revenue for our contract research and development services represents our labor cost
plus a modest amount of material costs which we passed on to the client. The Company moved from the 4P facilities, and many of the prior
costs relating to the facility were not incurred. We did not have any revenue from our South Korean customer but expect revenue will
recommence during the third quarter.
For
the three months ended July 31, 2021, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $509,219 primarily legal, accounting and
non-cash expenses compared to $193,331 for the three months ended July 31, 2020.The increase from 2020 is primarily attributable to non-cash
consulting expenses of $127,500 and the inclusion of expenses of $151,278 of Active Intelligence in 2021.
We
incurred interest expense of $41,019, primarily from the amortization of debt discounts for the three months ended July 31, 2021, as
compared to $51 for the three months ended July 31, 2020.
As
a result of the foregoing, we sustained a net loss of $519,523 or $(0.08) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended July
31, 2021, compared with a loss of $225,869, or $(0.04) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended July 31, 2020.
Six
Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
For
the six months ended July 31, 2021, we generated revenue of $647,227 and our costs of revenue were $355,606, resulting in a gross margin
of $291,621. For the six months ended July 31, 2020, we generated revenue of $203,814 and our costs of revenue were $191,876, resulting
in a gross margin of $11,938. Our revenue for July 31, 2021 was derived from three sources – (1) a continuation of research and
development contracts of the type 4P Therapeutics performed prior to our acquisition, which accounted for $105,976, (2) sales of our
consumer transdermal product to or South Korean distributor, which accounted for $86,600 which our distributor purchased for its preliminary
marketing efforts since the product has not obtained regulatory approval for retail sales in South Korea and (3) sales from our recent
acquisition of transdermal patches, which accounted for $454,651. Since we do not have the funds for development of our lead product,
the 4P Therapeutics fixed costs are allocated to the contract services that we perform for clients. Our cost of revenue for our contract
research and development services represents basically our labor cost plus a modest amount of material costs which we passed on to the
client. The Company moved from the 4P facilities, and many of the prior costs relating to the facility were not incurred.
For
the six months ended July 31, 2021, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,088,827 primarily legal, accounting and
non-cash expenses compared to $355,248 for the six months ended July 31, 2020.The increase from 2020 is primarily attributable to non-cash
consulting expenses of $225,000 and the inclusion of expenses of $315,915 of Active Intelligence in 2021.
During
the six months ended July 31, 2020, we incurred gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $22,096 in connection with our October
2019 financing in which we raised gross proceeds of $250,000 and net proceeds of approximately $230,000 from the sale of convertible
notes and warrants. During the six months ended July 31, 2021, the Company incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of $43,214, consisting
primarily of forgiveness of a PPP loan.
We
incurred interest expense of $81,888, primarily from the amortization of debt discounts for the six months ended July 31, 2021, as compared
to $205,218 for the six months ended July 31, 2020.
As
a result of the foregoing, we sustained a net loss of $835,880 or $(0.13) per share (basic and diluted) for the six months ended July
31, 2021, compared with a loss of $638,063, or $(0.12) per share (basic and diluted) for the six months ended July 31, 2020.
23
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of July 31, 2021, we had $304,258 in cash and cash equivalents and a working capital deficiency of $2,048,806, as compared with cash
and cash equivalents of $151,993 and working capital deficiency of $2,254,418 as of January 31, 2021. The Company received proceeds of
$583,000 from the sale of common stock during the six months ended July 31, 2021.
For
the six months ended July 31, 2021, we used cash of $367,944 in our operations. The principal adjustments to our net loss of $835,880
were amortization of debt discount of $73,108, depreciation and amortization of $155,822, and stock-based compensation of $625,000, offset
by a gain on extinguishment of debt of $43,214.
For
the six months ended July 31, 2021, we used cash in investing activities of $49,396 primarily for the purchase of equipment. During the
year ended July 31, 2020, we had no investing activities.
For
the six months ended July 31, 2021, we had cash flows of $569,605 from financing activities, primarily $583,000 from gross proceeds from
the sale of common stock.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Going
Concern
As of July 31, 2021, the Company believes the
substantial doubt about its status as a going concern has been resolved. The going concern conditions that caused substantial doubt consisted
of current quarter 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 additional funding expected to be received, and the net revenue from its recent acquisitions.
These factors did not exist in prior years during its start-up operations. The Company’s recent history of losses has continued
but future positive cash flow projections due to its increased revenue commitments and decreases in overhead as well as future equity
funding will enable the Company 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.
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. We adopted the guidance under the new revenue
standards using the modified retrospective method effective February 1, 2018. Topic 606 requires us 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
Service Types
The
following is a description of our revenue service types, which include professional services and sales of goods:
●
Professional
services include the contract of research and development related services with our 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.
●
Sales
revenues are generated from the sale of our products. Upon the receipt of a purchase order, we have the order filled and shipped.
24
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 accordance with GAAP. As of July 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the balance of deferred revenue was $69,894 and $86,846, respectively.
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. Our performance obligations include providing products and professional services in the area of research.
We recognize 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 on a
monthly basis for work performed during that month.
All
revenue recognized in the statement of operations is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.
Stock-Based
Compensation
ASC
718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based payment
transactions in which employee services, and, since February 1, 2019, non-employee services, 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. Stock-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).
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 July 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, Goodwill amounted to
$7,529,875.
25
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.

CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure
controls and procedures.
As
of the end of period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our chief executive officer and
chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.
Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective in ensuring that information required
to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
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, and excessive reliance on third-party consultants for accounting, financial reporting and related activities.
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 accounts payable transactions in connection
with the entry and categorization of each transaction in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements.
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 controls over financial reporting.
No
changes were made to our internal controls in the quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely materially to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
On
August 10, 2018, we, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer received a Wells notice from the enforcement division
staff of the Miami Regional Office of the SEC in connection with an investigation into the accuracy of certain statements in our Form
10 registration statement filed June 2, 2016, as amended, and our Form 10-K annual report filed May 8, 2017. The staff’s inquiry
was focused on our disclosure language in those filings relating to the FDA requirements for our consumer transdermal patch products
in that our filings did not accurately reflect the FDA’s jurisdiction over our consumer products and did not disclose that we could
not legally market these products in the United States. On September 7, 2018, we and the officers filed a Wells submission in response.
After engaging in settlement discussions with the staff about the matters under investigation, we and the officers submitted an offer
of settlement to resolve the investigation without admitting or denying any violations of the federal securities laws.
On
December 26, 2018, the SEC announced that it has accepted the settlement offer and instituted settled administrative cease-and-desist
proceedings against us and the named officers. The SEC’s administrative order, dated December 26, 2018, finds that we and the officers
consented – without admitting or denying any findings by the SEC– to cease-and-desist orders against them for violations
by us of Sections 12(g) and 13(a) of the Exchange Act 1934 and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder, which require issuers to file accurate
registration statements and annual reports with the SEC; violations by the officers for causing our violations of the above issuer reporting
provisions; and violations by the officers of Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, which requires each principal executive and principal
financial officer of issuers to attest that annual reports filed with the SEC do not contain any untrue statements of material fact.
In addition to consenting to the cease-and-desist orders, the officers have each agreed to pay a $25,000 civil penalty to resolve the
investigation. The administrative order does not impose a civil penalty or any other monetary relief against us.
On
July 27, 2018, we 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 our decision to seek to rescind for misrepresentation
the agreement by which we 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 our 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 our complaint
with prejudice, and directed the defendants to assign to us within 30 days, the six patents never duly transferred to us. On February
1, 2019, we 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 we have 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
August 22, 2018, four of the defendants in the Florida action described in the previous paragraph filed a complaint against us 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, we 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 we allege that in 2017, the defendants
fraudulently and deceitfully obtained 1,250,000 shares of common stock by orchestrating a months-long scheme to defraud us. We are seeking
the return of the 1,200,000 shares of common stock and monetary damages resulting from the defendants’ fraudulent conduct. The
defendants filed a motion to dismiss on August 23, 2019, and we filed our response on September 13, 2019. 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.

RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making
an investment decision with regard to our securities. The risks set forth below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and
uncertainties may exist that could also adversely affect our business, prospects or operations. If any of the following risks actually
occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock
could decline, and you may lose all or a significant part of your investment.
Because
of a lack of funds, we have suspended our pharmaceutical product development operations.
Our
business is the development of transdermal systems for the delivery of pharmaceuticals. The development of pharmaceutical products is
highly cash intensive, and many early-stage drug development companies are unable to raise sufficient cash to complete the development
and testing of their products and obtain regulatory approval, with the result that they either obtain funding on very unfavorable terms,
cease to conduct business or sell or license their intellectual property on unfavorable terms. Because of our lack of cash and the absence
of any significant financing, we have suspended our development activities relating to our transdermal pharmaceutical products. Because
of the anticipated lack of revenues until we have an approved product that we can market and the time required to obtain FDA approval,
which can take many years, we must rely on our ability to raise money in the private or public equity market or enter into a joint venture
relationship with a company that has the funds, the willingness and the ability to fund or obtain funds for the project that is the subject
of the joint venture. In March 2020, we withdrew a registration statement relating to a proposed public offering. If we are able to raise
funds or enter into a joint venture, it is likely that the term will not be favorable to us. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to raise funds in a public or private financing or a joint venture, and, if we are unable to do so, we may cease operations.
Because
we are an early-stage company with minimal revenue and a history of losses and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for
the foreseeable future, we cannot assure you that we can or will be able to operate profitably.
We
did not generate any revenue prior to the quarter ended October 31, 2018 and since then, we have incurred losses as, 4P Therapeutics
generated only modest revenue from contract research and development services which are not related to our pharmaceutical transdermal
patch business. Although we anticipate that, for the near term, we will continue to perform research and development services for third
parties, we do not expect to generate significant revenue from performing contract research and development services for our clients
and we have generated losses from operations from this business. During the year ended January 31, 2021, we experienced a significant
decline in revenue from 4P Therapeutics’ largest customer. We generated negative cash flow from operations for the years ended
January 31, 2021 and 2020. We are subject to the risks common to start-up, pre-revenue enterprises, including, among other factors, undercapitalization,
cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. Drug development companies
typically incur substantial losses during the product development and FDA testing phase of the business and do not generate revenues
until after the drug has received FDA approval, which cannot be assured, and until the company has started to sell the product. We can
give no assurance that we can or will ever be successful in achieving profitability and the likelihood of our success must be considered
in light of our early stage of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably or generate positive cash
flow. If we cannot achieve profitability, we may be forced to cease operations and you may suffer a total loss of your investment.
Because
we do not have a product we can market in the United States, we cannot predict when or whether we will operate profitably.
We
have not completed the development of our lead product, which is our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, and we do not have
any product that we can market in the United States. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development,
we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and market any products or achieve or attain profitability. If we are able to obtain
financing for our operations, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses as we continue with our product development and clinical
trials. Further, if we are required by applicable regulatory authorities, including the FDA as well as the comparable regulatory agencies
in other countries in which we may seek to market product, to perform studies in addition to those we currently anticipate, our expenses
will increase beyond expectations and the timing of any potential product approval may be delayed. As a result, we expect to continue
to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future.
28
A
number of factors, including, but not limited to the following, may affect our ability to develop our business and operate profitably:
● our
ability to obtain necessary funding to develop our proposed products;
●
the
success of clinical trials for our products;
●
our
ability to obtain FDA approval for us to market any proposed product in our pipeline in the United States;
●
any
delays in regulatory review and approval of product in development;
●
if
we obtain FDA approval to market our product, our ability to establish manufacturing and distribution operations or entering into
manufacturing and distribution agreements with qualified third parties;
●
market
acceptance of our products;
●
our
ability to establish an effective sales and marketing infrastructure;
●
our
ability to protect our intellectual property;
●
competition
from existing products or new products that may emerge;
●
the
ability to commercialize our products;
●
potential
product liability claims and adverse events;
●
our
ability to adequately support future growth; and
●
our
ability to attract and retain key personnel to manage our business effectively.
We
are dependent on obtaining additional financing to enable us to pay off debt and to resume our product development operations.
Our
continued operations are substantially dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing to pay off substantial debt incurred in
our August 31, 2020 acquisition of Pocono Coated Products, LLC and to provide us with the ability to resume product development operations
and continue to finance our current operations and generate growth in our revenues.
Our
business is impacted by the following additional key risks :
●
Our
business could be adversely affected by the effects of health pandemics or epidemics, including the recent outbreak of COVID-19,
which was declared by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic, and is resulting in travel and other restrictions to reduce
the spread of the disease, including state and local orders across the country, which, among other things, direct individuals to
shelter at their places of residence, direct businesses and governmental agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations,
prohibit certain non-essential gatherings, and order cessation of non-essential travel. The effects of these orders, government-imposed
quarantines and measures we would take, such as work-from-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 other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. These and similar, and perhaps
more severe, 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 operations 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.
29
●
The
FDA regulatory process may take longer and be more expensive than we anticipate without any assurance that we will obtain FDA approval.
●
If
we are not able to obtain FDA approval for our lead product, we may not have the resources to develop any other product, and we may
not be able to continue in business.
●
We
may not be able to launch any products for which we receive FDA marketing approval.
●
We
may not be able to establish a distribution network for the marketing and sale of any products for which we receive FDA approval.
●
We
may not be able to establish manufacturing facilities in compliance with FDA good manufacturing practices or to enter into manufacturing
agreements for the manufacture of our products in an FDA approved manufacturing facility.
●
It
may be necessary to us to enter into a joint venture or other strategic relationship in order to develop, perform clinical testing
for, manufacture or market any of our proposed products. We may not be able to enter into such a relationship, and any relationship
may not be successful, and the other party may have business interests and priorities that are different from ours.
●
We
are party to a settlement agreement with the SEC resulting from statements in our SEC filings that did not accurately reflect the
FDA’s jurisdiction over our consumer products and did not disclose that we could not legally market these products in the United
States. The settlement included a cease-and-desist order against violating the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act which require
us to file accurate registration statements and annual reports with the SEC. Our failure to comply with our obligations under the
settlement agreement could result in enforcement proceedings against us or our officers.
●
We
may not be able to protect our rights in our intellectual property, and we may be subject to intellectual property litigation which
would be expensive and disruptive of our operations even if we eventually prevail on the merits.
●
Unanticipated
side effects or other adverse events resulting from the use of our product could require a recall of our products and, even if no
recall is required, our reputation could be impaired by side effects.
●
We
may not be able to evaluate potential acquisition candidates, with the result that we may not be able to benefit from the acquisition
or integrate the acquired business with our business. We have recently incurred an impairment charge as a result of an acquisition
when the intellectual property assets of the acquired company were not as represented. We cannot assure you that we will not incur
similar or other problems with any future acquisitions.
●
We
may fail to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to our product. We may have to change or adapt our operations
in the event of changes in national, regional and local government regulations, taxation, controls and political and economic developments
that affect our products and the market for our products;
●
We
may be unable to accurately estimate anticipated expenses, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;
