NUTRIBAND
INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes
to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
as
of and for the Three Months Ended April 30, 2023 and 2022
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.
The former owner resigned as a director in January 2022.
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 entered a feasibility agreement as an initial step
to seek FDA approval of its consumer transdermal products and its consumer products which 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, Pocono Pharmaceuticals also acquired 100 % of the membership interests of Active Intelligence LLC (“Active
Intelligence”).
Pocono Pharmaceuticals
is a coated products manufacturing entity organized to take advantage of unique process capabilities and experience. Pocono helps their
customers 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 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 proscribing 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 and suppliers and customers it works with might have
to 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,
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
Financial Statements
The
consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2023, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, 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 three months ended
April 30, 2023, 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, 2023.
6
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
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 in Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2023. There
were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three months ending April 30, 2023.
Forward
Stock Split
On July 26,
2022, our Board of Directors approved the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to affect a 7 for 6 forward stock split (the “Stock
Split”) of our outstanding common stock. The Company filed the amendment set forth in a Certificate of Change with the Secretary
of State of Nevada on August 4, 2022. The 7:6 forward stock split was effective for trading purposes on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August
12, 2022. Each shareholder of record as of the August 15, 2022, record date received one (1) additional share for each six (6) shares
held as of the record date. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the Stock Split. Instead, all shares were
rounded up to the next whole share. In connection with the Stock Split, which did not require shareholder approval under the Nevada corporation
law, the number of shares of common stock of the Company was increased in the same ratio as the shares of outstanding common stock were
increased in the Stock Split, from 250,000,000 authorized shares to 291,666,666 authorized shares.
All
share and per share information in these financial statements retroactively reflect the forward stock split.
Going
Concern Assessment
Management
assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s condensed financial statements to determine whether there is
sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from
the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward
period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management,
management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including timing
and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise
additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain
assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable
those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.
As of April
30, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 1,278,075 and working capital of $ 1,209,099 . For the three months ended April
30, 2023, the Company incurred an operating loss of $ 1,015,229 and used cash flow from operations of $ 749,864 . The Company has generated
operating losses since its inception and has relied on sales of securities and issuance of third-party and related-party debt to support
cash flow from operations. In October 2021, the Company consummated a public offering and received net proceeds of $ 5,836,230 . The Company
also received to date $ 3,239,845 proceeds from the exercise of warrants. The Company has used these proceeds to fund operations and will
continue to use the funds as needed. In March 2023, the Company entered a three-year $ 2,000,000 Credit Line Note facility which will permit
the Company to draw down on the credit line to fund the Company’s research and development of its Aversa product.
Management
has prepared estimates of operations for the next twelve months and believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations
to fund its operations for one year from the date of the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which indicates
improved operations and the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s
business has been considered in these assumptions; however, it is too early to know the full impact of COVID-19 or its timing on a return
to normal operations.
Management
believes the substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is alleviated by the above assessment.
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, under Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc. The wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows:
Nutriband
Ltd.
4P
Therapeutics LLC
Pocono
Pharmaceuticals Inc.
7
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.
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 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.
Contract
Liabilities
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.

Disaggregation

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

Accounts
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 the required payments. The Company determines its allowances by both
the specific identification of customer accounts where appropriate and the application of historical loss to non-applicable accounts.
For the three months ended April 30, 2023, and 2022, 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. The net realized 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 April 30, 2023, total inventory was $ 181,497 , consisting of work-in-process of $ 41,432 and raw materials
of $ 140,064 . As of January 31, 2023, total inventory was $ 229,335 , consisting of work-in-process of $ 11,021 and raw materials of $ 218,334 .
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 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. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of 4P Therapeutics LLC in 2018, the Company recorded Goodwill of $ 1,719,235 .
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 . During the years ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge
of $ 327,326 and $ 2,180,836 , respectively, reducing the Active Intelligence LLC Goodwill to $ 3,302,478 . As of April 30, 2023, and January
31, 2023, Goodwill amounted to $ 5,021,713 and $ 5,021,713 , respectively.
9
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 April 30, 2023, and 2022, there were
1,783,373 and 1,626,373 common stock equivalents outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share
as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
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.
The
Company applies guidance for right-of-use accounting for all leases and records the operating lease liabilities on its balance sheet.
The Company completed the necessary changes to its accounting policies, processes, disclosure, and internal control over financial reporting.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development 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.
10
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.
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 accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued
expenses, and deferred revenue approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.
Recent
Accounting Standards
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.

in options outstanding and the related price of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued to employees of the Company. See
Note 7 for the issuance of related party options.
On November 1, 2021, the Board of Directors
