Overview
Nutriband Inc. (the “Company”, “Nutriband”,
“we” or “us”), was incorporated in Nevada in January 2016. Our primary business is the development of a portfolio
of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our development pipeline primarily consists of transdermal products that are based on our proprietary
AVERSA ™ abuse deterrent transdermal technology that we believe can be incorporated into existing transdermal patches
that contain drugs that are susceptible to abuse and misuse such as opioid and stimulant drugs.
The Company’s revenues are based on providing
services through our subsidiaries Pocono Pharmaceuticals operating as Active Intelligence and 4P Therapeutics. Pocono Pharmaceuticals
provides contract manufacturing services for health, wellness and over-the-counter pharmaceutical customers and 4P Therapeutics performs
contract research and development related services for pharmaceutical and medical devices customers. We manage and evaluate our operations,
and report our financial results, through these two separate subsidiaries.
Our principal offices are located in Orlando,
Florida, and our subsidiary, Pocono Pharmaceuticals, has a manufacturing facility in Cherryville, North Carolina. We primarily operate
and derive most of our revenues in the United States.
Recent Developments
On February 13, 2025, we signed an addendum to
the Commercial Development and Clinical Supply Agreement for our lead product, Aversa™ Fentanyl, being developed with our partner,
Kindeva Drug Delivery, a leading global contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focused on drug-device combination
products. Nutriband and Kindeva have revised their agreement to formalize their exclusive product development partnership and long-term
commitment based on shared development costs in exchange for milestone payments. The development work being conducted under this agreement
supports the development of Nutriband’s AVERSA™ abuse-deterrent technology in general, which can be utilized to incorporate
aversive agents into transdermal patches to prevent the abuse, diversion, misuse, and accidental exposure of drugs with abuse potential
including opioids and stimulants.

On April 19, 2024, the Company completed an $8,400,000
equity financing with European investors (the “Offering”) of 2,100,000 units (“Units”), at a price of $4.00 per
Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock (“Shares”) and a Warrant to purchase two Shares of common stock, the
Warrants having an initial exercise price of $6.43, are exercisable by payment of the exercise price in cash only and expire April 19,
2029, five years from the date of issuance (“Warrants”). The Offering was made solely to investors resident outside the United
States and was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws
of any jurisdiction, including any jurisdiction outside the United States, but was made privately by the Company pursuant to the exemptions
from registration provided in the SEC’s Regulation S and other exemptions under the Securities Act.
Our Business
AVERSA Abuse Deterrent Transdermal Products
Our lead product under development is AVERSA Fentanyl,
an abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system that combines an approved generic fentanyl patch with our AVERSA abuse deterrent transdermal
technology to reduce the abuse and misuse of fentanyl patches. We believe that our AVERSA technology can be broadly applied to various
transdermal products, and our plan is to follow the development of AVERSA Fentanyl with the development of additional abuse deterrent
transdermal products for pharmaceuticals that have a risk or history of abuse, misuse or accidental exposure. Specifically, we have expanded
our development pipeline to include AVERSA Buprenorphine and AVERSA Methylphenidate. In addition, we are developing a portfolio of transdermal
pharmaceutical products to deliver already approved drugs or biologics that are typically delivered by injection but with the potential
to improve compliance and therapeutic outcomes through transdermal delivery.
In January 2024, we signed a commercial development
and clinical supply agreement with Kindeva Drug Delivery, formerly 3M Drug Delivery (“Kindeva”), for the development of AVERSA
Fentanyl using Kindeva’s FDA-approved fentanyl patch. This agreement replaced the previous feasibility agreement between the two
companies which was focused on establishing the feasibility of incorporating our AVERSA abuse deterrent transdermal technology into Kindeva’s
commercial transdermal manufacturing process. The commercial development and clinical supply agreement is focused on developing the commercial
manufacturing process for AVERSA Fentanyl.
On November 1, 2021, The Board of Directors adopted
the 2021 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”), and the Plan then adopted provided for an initial 350,000 shares to
issue and sell upon the exercise of stock options issued under the Plan.
The Plan provides for an automatic annual increase
to be added on February 1 of each year equal to the lesser of (i) 250,000 shares of Common Equity or (ii) five percent
(5%) of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (including for this purpose any shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of any outstanding capital equity of the Company) or (iii) such lesser number as determined by the Board. In accordance
with the Plan, on February 1, 2022, the Company reserved an additional 233,333 shares and on February 1, 2023, the Company reserved an
additional 233,333 shares. On March 20, 2024, our Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the Plan increasing the number of shares
of common stock subject to the Plan (as of March 20, 2024, 875,000 shares) to 1,400,000 shares (the “Amendment”). We submitted
the Amendment to the Plan to our stockholders for adoption and approval at the 2025 Annual Meeting, and the Amendment was approved by
a majority vote of our stockholders. As of June 15, 2026, with the February 1, 2026 automatic increase of shares available for issuance
under the Plan, 336,102 shares remain available for issuance of options under the Plan.
On August 5, 2025, the Company issued a preferred
stock dividend of its Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to its shareholders of record
July 25, 2025. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has the par value of $0.001 per share and is is convertible at the option of the
holder into one share of Common Stock following the date of the approval for commercial sale by the Federal Drug Administration of the
Company’s transdermal pharmaceutical products that are based on the Company’s AVERSA ™ abuse deterrent t technology.
The holders of Series A Preferred Stock that do not convert their shares shall be eligible for dividends as declared by the Board of Directors
for those holders, and the Series A Preferred is also eligible for dividends declared by the Board of Directors on the class of common
stock. In the preferred stock dividend, 3,008,643 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (including shares of common stock issued to stockholders
exercising warrants following the distribution of the dividend) were issued to our stockholders. The fair value of the dividend was $21,814,166.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended April 30, 2026 and 2025
For the three months ending April 30, 2026, we
generated revenue of $433,399 and our revenue costs were $236,598, resulting in a gross profit of $196,801. For the three months ending
April 30, 2025, we generated revenue of $667,432 and our costs of revenue were $415,451, resulting in a gross profit of $251,981. Our
revenue for the three months ending April 30, 2026, was derived from sales from our Pocono Pharmaceuticals segment and $-0- from contract
research and development services from our 4P Therapeutics segment. The revenue from the Pocono Pharmaceuticals segment decreased from
the prior year as one of the Company’s principal customers moved their operations to Asia. A decrease in demand is expected in
the balance of the current year. There were no sales in our 4P Therapeutics segment in the current year due to a shift in focus and the
main contract wound down in the prior year. The increase in gross margin is due primarily to higher margins in our sales mix.
For the three months ending April 30, 2026, our
selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,203,891, primarily legal, accounting and compensation expenses compared to $982,052
for the three months ending April 30, 2025. The increase from 2025 is primarily attributable to increases in compensation-based expenses.
During the three months ending April 30, 2026,
the Company incurred research and development expenses of its Aversa Fentanyl product of $247,261, primarily of salaries and development
costs from Kindeva as compared to $683,426 for the three months ending April 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction
in labor costs.
We incurred interest expenses of $5,008 for the
three months ending April 30, 2026, as compared to $5,880 for the three months ending April 30, 2025.
Interest income for the three months ending April
30, 2026 was $17,403 as compared to $30,508 for the three months ending April 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in
cash used in the Company’s operations.
As a result of the foregoing, we sustained a net
loss of $1,241,956 for the three months ending April 30, 2026, or ($0.10) per share (basic and diluted), compared with a loss of $1,388,869,
or $(0.12) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ending April 30, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of April 30, 2026 we had $4,006,184 in cash
and cash equivalents and working capital of $3,544,125, as compared with cash and cash equivalents of $4,574,857 and working capital of
$4,204,437 as of January 31, 2026.
For the three months ending April 30, 2026, we
used cash of $563,104 in our operations. The principal adjustments to our net loss of $1,241,956 were depreciation and amortization of
$34,177, and the issuance of warrants for services in the amount of $552,458.
For the three months ending April 30, 2026,
no cash was provided from financing activities .
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
Critical accounting policies remained relatively
consistent from the year ended January 31, 2026.
