Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this
report regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects and plans and
objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,”
“expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would”
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these
identifying words.
We have based these forward-looking statements
on our current expectations and projections about future events. Although we believe that the expectations underlying our forward-looking
statements are reasonable, these expectations may prove to be incorrect, and all of these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.
Many possible
events or factors could affect our future financial results and performance and could cause actual results or performance to differ materially
from those expressed, including those risks and uncertainties described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021 (“2021 Annual Report”) and those described from time to time in our future reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We believe these risks and uncertainties could cause
actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Should one or more of these risks and
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions, projections or expectations prove incorrect, actual results, performance
or financial condition may vary materially and adversely from those anticipated, estimated or expected. Our forward-looking statements
do not reflect the potential impact of future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments that we may make. We
do not assume any obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In the light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances
discussed in this report may not occur, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking
statements.
Overview
Our business model is to develop or acquire unique
medical related products, engage third parties to manufacture such products and then distribute the products through various distribution
channels, including third parties. We are developing potentially life-saving technologies: the CardioMap® heart monitoring and screening
device; the Save A Life choking rescue device, a unique neurosteroid drug compound intended to treat concussions and a unique drug compound
to treat rare brain disorders in partnership with Prevacus, Inc. To date, none of our product candidates has received regulatory clearance
or approval for commercial sale.
We plan to license, improve, and develop our products
and identify and select distribution channels. We intend to establish agreements with distributors to get products to market quickly,
as well as to undertake and engage in our own direct marketing efforts. We will determine the most effective method of distribution for
each unique product that we include in our portfolio. We will engage third-party research and development firms who specialize in the
creation of our products to assist us in the development of our own products, and we will apply for trademarks and patents once we have
developed proprietary products.
Recent Funding
Donation
In January
2022, we received a donation in the amount of $500,000 in partnership with the Erase PTSD Now organization and the Glenn Greenberg and
Linda Vester Foundation. These funds were recorded as Other income in our Statements of Operations and will be used to progress the Phase
1 human clinical trials for drug candidate PRV-002 for the treatment of concussion

Going Concern
See Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements.
Impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 global pandemic has had an unfavorable
impact on our business operations. The pandemic has impacted our ability to get financing, engage third-party vendors and the timing of
our clinical trial in Australia. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has adversely affected the U.S. and global economies and financial
markets, which may result in a long-term economic downturn that could negatively affect future performance and our ability to secure additional
debt or equity funding.
Significant Accounting Policies and Use of
Estimates
During the six months ended January 31, 2022,
there were no significant changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates are described in Note 2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies included in Part II, Item 8. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2021, which was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 29, 2021.

Results of Operations
We do not currently sell or market any products
and we did not have any revenue in the three or six month periods ended January 31, 2022 or 2021. We will commence actively marketing
products after the products and drugs in development have been FDA cleared or approved, but there can be no assurance, however, that we
will be successful in obtaining FDA clearance or approval for our products.

Research and Development Expense
Our Research and development expense includes
expenses related to our current projects and include, clinical research, design and manufacturing, formulation, regulatory and consultants.
The increases in Research and development were due to expenses related to our PRV-002 drug device combination. Research and development
expense was offset in the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2022 by research and development rebates from the government of
Australia in the amount of $6,219 and $220,339, respectively, for clinical work performed in Australia related to our Phase 1 human trial
for safety and efficacy for the treatment of concussed individuals.
General and Administrative Expense
Our General and administrative expense includes
salaries and related benefits for employees in finance, accounting, sales, administrative and research and development activities, as
well as stock-based compensation, costs related to maintaining compliance as a public company and legal and professional fees.

The increases in interest expense for the three

in the amount of $500,000 in partnership with the Erase PTSD Now organization and the Glenn Greenberg and Linda Vester Foundation and
foreign exchange gains and losses related to invoices denominated and paid in foreign currencies.

Net Loss
Net loss increased in the three and six months
ended January 31, 2022, compared to the same periods of the prior year due to increased research and development expense, general and
administrative expense and interest expense as discussed above.

Net cash provided by financing activities
1,204,766
614,526
To date, we have financed our operations primarily
through debt financing and sales of our common stock. Our ability to continue to access capital could be affected adversely by various
factors, including general market and other economic conditions, interest rates, the perception of our potential future earnings and cash
distributions, any unwillingness on the part of lenders to make loans to us and any deterioration in the financial position of lenders
that might make them unable to meet their obligations to us. If these conditions continue and we cannot raise funds through a public or
private debt financing, or an equity offering, our ability to grow our business may be negatively affected. In such case, we may need
to suspend the creation of new products until market conditions improve.
Cash used in investing activities in the first
six months of fiscal 2022 were primarily for a patent related to our PRV-002 drug device combination.
