NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 AND 2020 (Unaudited) 1. BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Malachite Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 29, 2007. In 2015, the Company developed a new class of cannabinoids known as cannabosides, which were discovered through application of the Company’s proprietary enzymatic bioprocessing technologies. In 2016, the Company received approvals from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”) and the State of California to initiate studies and manufacturing scale-up at its research and development facilities in order to develop cannabosides. Currently, we do not have any commercial products and have not yet generated any revenues from our cannabinoid prodrug pharmaceuticals. I n October 2021, the Company reorganized its corporate structure and created the following two wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: (i) Graphium Biosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Graphium”), into which the Company contributed all of its drug development assets; and (ii) Daedalus Ecosciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Daedalus”). Graphium plans to focus its business activities on the health and wellness of people, with a particular focus on advancing our broad portfolio of over 100 glycosylated cannabinoid prodrugs. Daedalus plans to focus its business activities on the health and wellness of the planet, with a particular focus on deploying technological innovations and eco-friendly solutions to remedy difficult environmental situations in economically challenged communities. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, during the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 1,116,593 and used $ 945,712 of cash in our operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations in the future and/or raising additional capital to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We estimate as of September 30, 2021, we had sufficient funds to operate the business for 15 months as $4,881,000 of the $5,000,000 equity line secured in August 2021 with an institutional investor was available for additional equity issuances through December 31, 2022. Although our existing cash balances and the availability of funds under our equity line are estimated to be sufficient to fund our currently planned level of operations, we are actively seeking additional financing and other sources of capital to fund our planned future operations at a lower cost of capital, including a potential revolving line of credit with a financial institution. However, these estimates could differ if we encounter unanticipated difficulties, or if our estimates of the amount of cash necessary to operate our business prove to be wrong, and we use our available financial resources faster than we currently expect. No assurance can be given that any future financing or capital, if needed, will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. We do not presently have, nor do we expect in the near future to have, significant revenue to fund our business from our operations, and will need to obtain all of our necessary funding from external sources in the near term. Since inception, the Company has experienced recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows, and we have funded our operations primarily through equity and debt financings, and we expect to continue to rely on these sources of capital in the future. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders’ ownership will be diluted, and obtaining commercial loans would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we cannot raise the money that we need in order to continue to develop our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. COVID-19 The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic that could adversely impact our business, our liquidity and access to capital markets and our business development activities. The Company has implemented additional health and safety precautions and protocols in response to the pandemic and government guidelines. 8 The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have on the Company is highly uncertain and difficult to predict and quantify. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain or treat it, including vaccination efforts, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets. Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Graphium Biosciences, Inc., Daedalus Ecosciences, Inc., and Vitality Healthtech, Inc. (dissolved in May 2021), and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, assumptions used in reserves for accounts receivable, assumptions used in valuing equity instruments issued for services, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and accruals for potential liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Company’s cash account balances exceed the balances covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance System. The Company has never suffered a loss due to such excess balances. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income (loss) in the period that includes the enactment date. Leases The Company determines whether a contract is, or contains, a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based upon the estimated present value of unpaid lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement in determining the present value of unpaid lease payments. The Company had no lease commitments for longer than one year as of September 30, 2021. The laboratory space lease in Rocklin, California ends on March 31, 2022. Stock-Based Compensation The Company periodically issues stock options and restricted stock awards to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized for employees as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if the Company had paid cash for the services. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered. 9 The fair value of the Company’s stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Shares of restricted stock are included in the basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the time they vest. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Shares of restricted stock are included in the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding from the date they are granted unless they are antidilutive. Diluted loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive: SCHEDULE OF ANTIDILUTIVE SECURITIES EXCLUDED FROM COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE 2021 2020 September 30, 2021 2020 Options 5,997,544 6,030,044 Warrants 646,668 613,335 Total 6,644,212 6,643,379 Patents and Patent Application Costs Although the Company believes that its patents and underlying technology have continuing value, the amount of future benefits to be derived from the patents is uncertain. Accordingly, patent costs are expensed as incurred. Research and Development Research and development costs consist primarily of fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, patent fees and costs, and other expenses relating to the acquisition, design, development and testing of the Company’s treatments and product candidates. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Segments As of September 30, 2021, the Company operates in one segment for the development of pharmaceutical products. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing, and distribution processes. Since the Company currently operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying financial statements. As of October 1, 2021, we began operating under two segments: (i) Graphium Biosciences, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will report the operating results of our health and wellness innovations serving people, with a particular focus on advancing our broad portfolio of over 100 glycosylated cannabinoid prodrugs, and (ii) Daedalus Ecosciences, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will report the operating results of our health and wellness innovations serving the planet, with a particular focus on deploying technological innovations and eco-friendly solutions to remedy difficult environmental situations in economically challenged communities. 10 Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . ASU 2016-13 requires entities to use a forward-looking approach based on current expected credit losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the potential impact of the new guidance and related codification improvements will be material to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements. 2.

STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT) Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants On September 28, 2021, pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $ 119,000 . The common stock and warrants were sold under an equity line to a single investor, at a price of $ 0.238 per share and the exercise price for the warrants of $ 0.32 per share. 4. WARRANTS The Company has issued warrants to purchase common stock in conjunction with financing arrangements. A summary of the warrant activity during the six months ended September 30, 2021 is as follows: SUMMARY OF WARRANTS ACTIVITY Shares Weighted Average Exercise Price Balance outstanding at March 31, 2021 146,668 $ 3.00 Granted 500,000 0.32 Exercised - - Expired/Cancelled - - Balance outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2021 646,668 $ 1.08 At September 30, 2021, the 646,668 outstanding stock warrants had no intrinsic value. 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company received a letter in February 2021 from counsel for the Company’s previous director and officer insurance carrier (the “insurer”) demanding that the Company reimburse the insurer for sums advanced by the insurer without the Company’s knowledge or consent to a former director of the Company as defense costs in connection with a claim purportedly arising under a previous director and officer liability insurance policy. The Company believes it has no liability for this claim on the basis of, among other things, Nevada law, the Company’s governing documents and the language of the policy. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2021, no contingent liability has been recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition for this matter. 6 . SUBSEQUENT EVENTS In October 2021, the Company, pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, sold 250,000 shares of its common stock to a single investor for $ 50,950 in connection with the equity line. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and the investor, no warrants were issued as part of this transaction. 12 Item 2.

Company Overview Unless otherwise provided in this Quarterly Report, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us”, and “our” refer to Malachite Innovations, Inc., a Nevada corporation formed on June 29, 2007 as Legend Mining Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries. On October 10, 2011, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stevia First Corp., whereby we changed our name from “Legend Mining Inc.” to “Stevia First Corp.” On July 15, 2016, our Board of Directors and shareholders approved a name change to “Vitality Biopharma, Inc.” On September 30, 2021, we completed a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Malachite Innovations, Inc., whereby we changed our name from “Vitality Biopharma, Inc.” to “Malachite Innovations, Inc.” Malachite Innovations is a company focused on improving the health and wellness of people and the planet. We seek to accomplish this objective through the operation of two wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Graphium Biosciences, Inc. which is focused on developing new innovations targeting the health and wellness of people, with a particular focus on advancing our broad portfolio of over 100 glycosylated cannabinoid prodrugs and (ii) Daedalus Ecosciences, Inc. which is focused on evaluating new innovations targeting the health and wellness of the planet, with a particular focus on deploying technological innovations and eco-friendly solutions to remedy difficult environmental situations in economically challenged communities. Our corporate headquarters is located in Cleveland, Ohio. As of November 14, 2021, we employed three full-time employees, including one research professional working in our office and laboratory space in Rocklin, California. We also have, in the past, engaged the services of scientific and regulatory consultants to assist in our research and development activities, which is an approach that provides us with flexible and highly-experienced resources to advance our clinical efforts while maintaining a relatively lower overhead cost structure. Graphium Biosciences Overview Graphium Biosciences is focused on the advancement of pharmaceuticals and innovative technologies that improve the lives of patients. We seek to achieve this objective through the development of novel cannabinoid pharmaceutical prodrugs known as cannabosides. We conduct our operations using our own personnel and facilities with the support of third-party resources to advance our drug development programs. 13 Our cannabosides are cannabinoid-glycoside prodrugs, which were discovered through application of the Company’s proprietary enzymatic bioprocessing technologies that are converted within the body after administration from an inactive molecule into a pharmacologically active drug. Currently, the Company has produced more than 100 novel cannabosides, including glycosylated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidivarin (CBDV) and cannabinol (CBN), that are covered by worldwide patent applications for composition of matter, method of production and method of use. Cannaboside Prodrugs A prodrug is a compound that, after administration, is metabolized into a pharmacologically active drug. Prodrugs are often designed to improve drug properties and reduce known or expected toxicities and adverse side effects. By using our proprietary enzymatic bioprocessing technologies, our clinical research team has developed a novel family of prodrugs by combining cannabinoid and glucose molecules. The resulting compounds, known as cannabosides, have unique commercial applications and patentable compositions of matter, which are separate and distinct from ordinary cannabinoids. The advantages of cannabosides may include: (i) administration in a convenient oral formulation, (ii) targeted delivery with release in the colon or large intestine, (iii) improved stability with limited degradation or drug metabolism, and (iv) delayed release enabling longer-lasting effects and fewer administrations by patients. Our proprietary glycosylation process, which results in adding one or more glucose molecules to compounds, may enable our new cannabosides to act as prodrugs that achieve targeted delivery of the bioactive compounds of cannabinoids to the gastrointestinal tract. Glycosylated compounds are generally more stable and water soluble, so upon ingestion, we believe they will remain intact and transit through the esophagus, stomach and upper intestine with limited absorption or degradation from stomach acids. However, once the glycosylated compounds reach the large intestine, we expect them to encounter glycoside hydrolase enzymes secreted by the human intestinal microbiota that will cleave the polar glucose residues and release the active cannabinoid compound primarily in the large intestine or colon. We have focused our research and development activities on the glycosylation of cannabinoids given their well-known positive effects on the human endocannabinoid system. Our research and development activities originally focused on the glycosylation of CBD and then later expanded into the glycosylation of THC. The use of the cannabinoid THC has been shown to provide substantial anti-inflammatory benefits on the human body, among other benefits, but is limited as a pharmaceutical option given its psychoactive and intoxicating properties. However, by glycosylating THC, we have learned through initial animal studies that the binding of glucose and THC molecules restricts the release of THC into the body’s digestive system until the prodrug reaches the large intestine, at which point the glycoside hydrolase enzymes cleave the glucose from the prodrug and the THC is released in a targeted and restricted manner. Further, we have learned through our initial animal studies that this targeted release of THC, which could be provided in very low doses to achieve physiologically beneficial results, serves as an anti-inflammatory agent in the lower gastrointestinal tract and minimizes the amount of THC absorbed into the blood stream, therefore avoiding the psychoactive and intoxicating properties that hinder the broader pharmaceutical use of THC. 14 We are developing our THC-glycoside prodrugs for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) because of the targeted release described previously. IBD is a frequently chronic inflammatory condition where parts of the digestive system become inflamed from an overactive immune response. The disease can lead to irreversible damage to the gastrointestinal tract and may require surgery to remove affected areas of the intestine. Two major forms of the disease are Crohn’s disease, which can affect any part of the digestive system, and ulcerative colitis, which often affects the colon or large intestine. The disease is often unpredictable with periods of painful and debilitating symptoms followed by periods of remission with limited symptoms. IBS has similar symptoms to IBD, including abdominal pain, but the underlying disease process is quite different. IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that commonly affects the large intestine and is characterized by abdominal cramping, diarrhea, constipation, and pain. Currently, patients suffering from IBD are frequently prescribed anti-inflammatory drugs such as steroids, biologics and immunosuppressants, and patients suffering from IBS are prescribed antibiotics, antidepressants and gastrointestinal motility compounds, all of which often result in unwanted side effects. Our most promising THC-glycoside (VBX-100) is being developed as an oral prodrug for the treatment of IBD and IBS. VBX-100 was selected from our THC-glycoside portfolio for compatibility with commercial production techniques and the optimal prodrug delivery profile that maximizes intestinal anti-inflammatory properties while minimizing psychoactive or intoxicating effects. Initial pre-clinical studies on the efficacy of VBX-100 in animal models have shown favorable outcomes, including reduced inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract and no measurable systemic THC found in tissue examined using highly-sensitive testing equipment. Our pre-clinical development plan, which includes dose range finding studies, GLP toxicology studies, pharmacokinetic studies and other pre-clinical research, is anticipated to be completed during the 2 nd half of calendar year 2022, subject to the Company securing sufficient additional funding or entering into a strategic partnership. After our satisfactory completion of all of the prerequisite pre-clinical in vitro and in vivo studies, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application would be filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and, upon receiving FDA approval, we would initiate our Phase 1 clinical trial, subject to the Company securing sufficient additional funding or entering into a strategic partnership. In addition to our research and development activities related to our THC-glycoside compounds, we are expanding and diversifying our research and development activities to include the potential safety, efficacy and commercialization of our patented CBD-glycoside compounds. CBD has well-known anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties, but unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and non-intoxicating. By glycosylating CBD, we can create CBD-glucose compounds that may enable a targeted and concentrated delivery of CBD in the gastrointestinal tract. Currently we are evaluating the optimal CBD-glycoside delivery mechanism, which may include an aqueous drink formulation since our glycosylation process significantly improves the water solubility of the CBD molecule. Enzymatic Processing Methods The Company originally developed its proprietary enzymatic bioprocessing technologies to attach glucose molecules to the molecules of stevia as part of our activities in the stevia processing industry. We then expanded the application of this proprietary technology to attach glucose molecules to cannabinoids, including THC and CBD. We may pursue additional opportunities to develop new products utilizing this proprietary technology. Orphan Drug Designation In January 2018, we filed a request with the FDA’s Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) for an Orphan Drug Designation of our VBX-100 prodrug for the treatment of pediatric ulcerative colitis. In March 2018, the OOPD denied our request based, in part, on the FDA’s decision to no longer grant Orphan Drug Designation status to drugs for pediatric subpopulations of common diseases (i.e., diseases or conditions with an overall prevalence of over 200,000), unless the use of the drug in the pediatric subpopulation meets the regulatory criteria for an orphan subset, or the disease in the pediatric subpopulation is considered a different disease from the disease in the adult population. In December 2019, we received a letter from the OOPD informing us that the FDA determined that the Company may be eligible for pediatric-subpopulation designation because we submitted our original request for an Orphan Drug Designation before the guidance Clarification of Orphan Designation of Drugs and Biologics for Pediatric Subpopulations of Common Diseases was finalized in July 2018. 15 Accordingly, in May 2020, we filed a response letter with the OOPD addressing the other deficiencies noted in the Company’s original submission in January 2018, which included, among other things (1) support for the prevalence of pediatric ulcerative colitis; (2) our scientific rationale for the specific animal models used in our pre-clinical animal studies; and (3) more comprehensive supporting documentation for the use of VBX-100 in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis. In August 2020, we received a letter from the OOPD informing us that it was unable to grant our request for an Orphan Drug Designation status because our VBX-100 prodrug was administered before and after colitis was induced in our in vivo mouse studies, which resulted in the need for more scientific data to support the efficacy of our VBX-100 prodrug in a treatment-only setting. As a result, we were advised to perform a second in vivo mouse study in which our VBX-100 prodrug would be administered only after colitis was induced in order to provide a clear indication that the active drug was released only after ulcerative colitis was present. In May 2021, we completed the treatment-only in vivo mouse study and filed a supplemental response letter with the OOPD providing the requested in vivo treatment-only mouse study results in support of our position that VBX-100 may be effective as a treatment for pediatric ulcerative colitis. On August 9, 2021, we received a letter from the OOPD stating that we have been granted Orphan Drug Designation for our glycosylated cannabinoid VBX-100 for the treatment of pediatric ulcerative colitis. The Company is currently evaluating several regulatory pathways for the advancement of its VBX-100 prodrug through pre-clinical and clinical studies, including leveraging the benefits of the Orphan Drug Designation granted by the OOPD. Daedalus Ecosciences Overview Daedalus Ecosciences is focused on new innovations addressing the health and wellness of the planet, with a particular focus on deploying technological innovations and eco-friendly solutions to remedy difficult environmental situations in economically challenged communities. The Company is actively evaluating a number of attractive investment opportunities intended to advance this mission with a particular focus on investments that advance environmental, social and governance principles. Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 Our net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2021 was $504,358 compared to a net loss of $472,932 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. We had no revenue during either the 2021 or 2020 period. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses in the aggregate amount of $436,523 compared to $374,290 incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2020 (an increase of $62,233). General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, salaries and other compensation costs, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, consulting costs and travel expenses. The majority of the increase in general and administrative costs in the period relates to legal fees, which increased to $122,079 in the period ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $40,828 in the period ending September 30, 2020 (primarily as a result of the preparation of the equity line documents and accompanying registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as legal fees related to our corporate restructuring), offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation which decreased to $0 in the period ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $91,059 in the period ending September 30, 2020. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred research and development costs of $67,838, compared to $98,829 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 (a decrease of $30,991). The majority of this decrease resulted from a reduction in stock-based compensation which decreased to $0 in the period ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $21,250 in the period ending September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded total net other income in the amount of $3, compared to total net other income recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2020 in the amount of $187, all of which related to interest income in both periods. This resulted in a net loss of $504,358 during the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $472,932 during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Six Months Ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 Our net loss during the six months ended September 30, 2021 was $1,116,593 compared to a net loss of $1,213,170 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. We had no revenue during either the 2021 or 2020 period. During the six months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred general and administrative expenses in the aggregate amount of $950,960 compared to $947,543 incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2020 (an increase of $3,417). General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, salaries and other compensation costs, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, consulting costs and travel expenses. We incurred professional fees of $197,500 during the six months ending September 30, 2021, compared to $120,000 during the six months ending September 30, 2020 and legal fees of $221,998 during the six months ending September 30, 2021, compared to $80,585 during the six months ending September 30, 2020 (the increase as a result of the preparation of the equity line documents and accompanying registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as legal fees related to our corporate restructuring and proxy statement). These expenses were offset by costs in the period related to stock-based compensation which decreased to $39,456 in the six months ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $199,181 in the period ending September 30, 2020. 16 In addition, during the six months ended September 30, 2021, we incurred research and development costs of $165,650, compared to $266,293 during the six months ended September 30, 2020 (a decrease of $100,643). The majority of this decrease resulted from a reduction in wages which decreased to $96,885 in the period ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $141,360 in the period ending September 30, 2020, and a reduction in stock-based compensation which decreased to $7,083 in the period ending September 30, 2021, as compared to $38,055 in the period ending September 30, 2020. During the six months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded total net other income in the amount of $17, compared to total net other income recorded during the six months ended September 30, 2020 in the amount of $666, all of which related to interest income during both periods. Liquidity and Capital Resources We have incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $48,544,302 as of September 30, 2021, and further losses are anticipated in the development of our business. As of September 30, 2021, we had total current assets of $57,425 which were comprised exclusively of cash. Our total current liabilities as of September 30, 2021 were $155,671, which included a lease obligation of $33,440 attributable to a now dissolved wholly-owned subsidiary for which the Company is not responsible. As a result, on September 30, 2021, we had negative working capital of $(98,246). We had no long-term liabilities as of September 30, 2021. Sources of Capital We do not expect to generate any revenue in the near term. Based on our current corporate strategy, our total expenditures for the 12 months following September 30, 2021 are expected to be approximately $2,000,000, which is comprised of research and development and general operating expenses. Based on our cash balance of $57,425 and the availability of $4,881,000 under our $5,000,000 equity line as of September 30, 2021, and our estimated total expenditures of approximately $2,000,000 for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022, we expect to have sufficient funds to operate our business over the next 12 months. We are also actively seeking additional financing and other sources of capital to fund our planned future operations at a lower cost of capital, including through a revolving line of credit with a financial institution. Our estimated total expenditures for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2022 could increase if we encounter unanticipated expenses in connection with operating our business as presently planned. In addition, our estimates of the amount of cash necessary to fund our business may prove to be too low, and we could spend our available financial resources much faster than we currently expect. If we cannot raise the capital necessary to continue to develop our business, we will be forced to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our proposed operations. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. Since inception, we have primarily funded our operations through equity and debt financings, and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. However, additional funds may not be available when needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we issue equity or convertible debt securities to raise additional funds, our existing stockholders may experience substantial dilution, and the new equity or debt securities may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our existing stockholders. If we incur additional debt, it may increase our leverage relative to our earnings or to our equity capitalization, requiring us to incur additional interest expense. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans are available, would increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. If we pursue capital through alternative sources, such as collaborations or other similar arrangements, we may be forced to relinquish rights to our proprietary technology or other intellectual property and which could result in our receipt of only a portion of any revenue that may be generated from a partnered product or business. Moreover, regardless of the manner in which we seek to raise capital, we may incur substantial costs in those pursuits, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other related costs. 17 Net Cash Used in Operating Activities We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $945,712 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,134,773 for the six months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in the expenses recorded for stock-based compensation related to stock options. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of a net loss of $1,116,593, offset by $46,539 related to stock-based compensation and $122,231 related to an increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2020 consisted primarily of a net loss of $1,213,170, and a decrease in accounts payable of $160,326 offset by $237,237 related to stock-based compensation. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities During the six months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, no net cash was used in or provided by investing activities. Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities During the six months ended September 30, 2021, net cash provided from financing activities was $119,000, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $96,988 during the six months ended September 30, 2020. The cash provided during the 2021 period was a result of the issuance of common stock and warrants under an equity line and during the 2020 period, a result of the issuance of a note payable. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that would be material to stockholders. Critical Accounting Policies Our financial statements and accompanying notes included in this report have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from the estimates made by management. We believe the following critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements included in this report: Use of Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant estimates and assumption by management include, among others, the fair value of shares issued for services, the fair value of options and warrants, and assumptions used in the valuation of our outstanding derivative liabilities. 18 Share-Based Payments The Company periodically issues stock options, warrants, and shares of common stock as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for such grants issued and vesting based on FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) whereby the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation within its Statements of Operations with classification depending on the nature of the services rendered. The fair value of the Company’s stock options and warrants are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model, which uses certain assumptions related to risk-free interest rates, expected volatility, expected life of the stock options or restricted stock, and future dividends. Compensation expense is recorded based upon the value derived from the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model and based on actual experience. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods. The Company issues stock options and warrants, shares of common stock, and equity interests as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. In June 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and reserved 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance pursuant to the 2021 Plan. The shareholders of the Company approved the 2021 Plan on August 12, 2021, at the Company’s annual stockholder meeting. All of the outstanding options as of September 30, 2021, were issued under the Company’s 2012 Stock Incentive Plan, which will expire on February 3, 2022. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Please refer to Footnote 1 of the accompanying financial statements for management’s discussion of recent accounting pronouncements. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not Applicable. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information relating to the Company is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021, and have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 19 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. The impact and outcome of litigation, if any, is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not currently a party to and our properties are not currently the subject of any material pending legal proceedings the adverse outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Item 1A. Risk Factors Please refer to the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 19, 2021. COVID-19 Considerations The global outbreak of COVID-19 has led to significant disruptions in the global economy, including the curtailment of activities by businesses and consumers in much of the world as governments and others seek to limit the spread of the disease. The extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will depend largely on future developments, including the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of restrictions and business closures imposed by domestic and foreign governments, the impact on capital and financial markets, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. In the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material net impact on our operating results. We have also not observed any material impairments of our assets or a significant change in the fair value of our assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While it is not possible at this time to estimate the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, restrictions resulting from COVID-19 on general economic conditions could, among other things, impair our ability to raise capital when needed. This situation is changing rapidly, and additional impacts may arise that we are not aware of currently. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds None. Item 5. Other Information (a) On November 5, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted a new set of bylaws (the “Bylaws”). The Company’s Bylaws were last amended in 2012.
