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.
Originally
founded in 2007 as Legend Mining Inc., the Company began operations as a mineral extraction exploration business. In 2011, the Company
changed its name to Stevia First Corp. and pursued a new strategy focused on developing stevia-based additives for the food and
beverage industry. In 2015, the Company changed its name to Vitality Biopharma, Inc. and pursued a new strategy focused on developing
cannabinoid-based prodrugs anticipated to treat inflammatory conditions of the gastrointestinal tract by unlocking the therapeutic properties
of cannabinoids but without their unwanted psychoactive side effects.
In
October 2021, the Company changed its name to Malachite Innovation, Inc. and 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 through ESG investments, 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 three
months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 447,974 and used $ 394,181 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 March
31, 2022, we had sufficient funds to operate the business for 15 months as $250,000 of our $1,000,000 revolving line of credit secured
in December 2021 was then available and $4,830,050 of the $5,000,000 equity financing line secured in August 2021 with an institutional
investor was available via equity issuances through December 31, 2022. Although our existing cash balances and the availability
of funds under our equity financing 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.
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 significant
revenue to fund our business from our operations, and will need to obtain most 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 near
term, with longer-term funding expected to come from revenue and profits from the anticipated ESG operations of our Daedalus Ecosciences
subsidiary. Based on the availability of the equity financing line and additional financing available under our revolving
credit facility, the Company believes it will have enough funds to ensure continuing operations as a stand-alone entity for a period
of at least one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. However, 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.

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. The
more significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, assumptions used in valuing assets acquired in business
acquisitions, 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 March 31, 2022. The laboratory space lease in Rocklin, California was renewed in March 2022 and ends on March 31, 2023.
9
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.
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:

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.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
FASB
ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” requires that the Company disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial
instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts payable. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for assets
and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments are a reasonable estimate of fair value.
10
Segments
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.
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..
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.

LINE OF CREDIT
In
November 2021, the Company secured a revolving line of credit with a bank with a limit of $ 1,000,000 .
The line of credit has a maturity date of November
30, 2022 , and bears interest at one percent
( 1 % )
above the prime rate. As of March 31, 2022, the balance due under the line of credit was $ 750,000 .
5.
GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF ADVANCE
In
July 2018, the Company received a payment from a third party in the amount of $ 296,653 . Since the Company has not been able to confirm
the nature of this payment, it had previously recorded this payment as an advance that was included in current liabilities. At March
31, 2021, the Company, after consultation with outside legal counsel, determined that any claim to recover that advance was time barred
by the statute of limitations and the Company recorded relief of this liability and a gain from debt extinguishment of $ 296,653 during
the three months ended March 31, 2021.
6.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company received a letter in February 2021 from counsel for the Company’s director’s and officer’s insurance carrier
(the “insurer”) demanding that the Company reimburse the insurer for sums advanced by the insurer to a former director of
the Company as defense costs in connection with a claim purportedly arising under a previous directors and officers 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 March 31, 2022, no contingent liability has been recorded in the Company’s
consolidated statements of financial condition for this matter.

SEGMENT INFORMATION
ASC
280, “Segment Reporting” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with
the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about services, categories, business segments and
major customers in financial statements. The Company has two reportable segments that are based on the following business units: Cannabinoid
Prodrug Operations and ESG Operations. 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. The Company operates two
reportable business segments:
●
Cannabinoid
Prodrug Operations – research and development primarily related to the Company’s cannabinoid pharmaceuticals
●
Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) Operations – development of 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 had no inter-segment sales for the periods presented.
