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, 2022 (“2022 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 plan to develop 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,
and undertake and engage in direct marketing efforts effort as we move closer to regulatory approvals. We will determine the most effective
distribution method for each unique product we include in our portfolio. We will engage third-party research and development firms who
specialize in creating products to assist us in developing our own products, and we will apply for trademarks and patents once we have
developed proprietary products.

In-Process Research and Development

period ended April 30, 2023 relates to the value of the 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock with a value of $0.17 per share issued to
Prevacus in connection with the November 2022 Option Agreement. See Note 9.
Research and Development Expense
Our Research and development expense includes
expenses related to our current projects, including, clinical research, design and manufacturing, formulation, regulatory and consultants.
The decreases in Research and development expense
were due to the following:
Three months ended

The decreases in drug development, consultants

The decrease in Phase I clinical trial costs in the three months ended April 30, 2023, as compared to the decrease in the nine months
ended April 30, 2023, was the result of the completion of dosing patients in the Phase I clinical trial of our concussion drug device
trial in first quarter of fiscal 2023.

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 changes in General and administrative expense
were due to the following:

The board and stock expense increases were due
to the vesting of restricted stock units. The decreases in business development and investor relations were a result of decreased activities
related to business development. The decrease in wages in the nine-month period was due to the $400,000 bonus granted to our executive
officers in January 2022.
Interest Expense
Interest expense includes interest on debt outstanding,
as well as the amortization of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt closing costs. Certain information regarding debt outstanding
was as follows:

Weighted average debt outstanding

$ 1,937,564
$ 1,401,545
Weighted average interest rate
5.7%
12.3%
7.8%
11.2%
The increases in the weighted average debt outstanding
were due to the addition of principal to both the LGH and Tysadco notes in exchange for extending the maturity date of the notes. In addition,
we issued a $30,000 promissory note during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and an $870,000 promissory note during the second quarter
of fiscal 2023.
The weighted average interest rate decreased due
to the extension of maturity dates on the LGH and Tysadco notes that have flat interest rates.
18
Other Income, net
Other income, net in the nine months ended April
30, 2022, included a donation in the amount of $500,000 in partnership with the Erase PTSD Now organization
and the Glenn Greenberg and Linda Vester Foundation. Other income, net in all periods includes foreign exchange gains and losses
related to invoices denominated and paid in foreign currencies.
Net Loss
Net loss decreased in the three and nine months
ended April 30, 2023 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to decreased research and development expense, general and administrative
expense and interest expense as discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
See Recent Funding above for a discussion of our
recent debt and equity financings.
The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash:
Nine Months Ended April 30,

2022
Net cash used in operating activities
$ (1,354,850 )
$ (2,554,811 )
Net cash used in investing activities
(8,038 )
(45,220 )
Net cash provided by financing activities
1,291,588
2,309,747
To date, we have financed our operations primarily
through debt financing and limited 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 research and development activities until market conditions improve.
