NATURALSHRIMP
INCORPORATED
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 – NATURE OF THE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Nature
of the Business
NaturalShrimp
Incorporated (“NaturalShrimp” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, is a biotechnology company and has developed
a proprietary technology that allows it to grow Pacific White shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei, formerly Penaeus vannamei) in an ecologically
controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities. The Company’s system
uses technology which allows it to produce a naturally-grown shrimp “crop” weekly and accomplishes this without the use of
antibiotics or toxic chemicals. The Company has developed several proprietary technology assets, including a knowledge base that allows
it to produce commercial quantities of shrimp in a closed system with a computer monitoring system that automates, monitors and maintains
proper levels of oxygen, salinity and temperature for optimal shrimp production. The Company’s production facilities are located
in La Coste, Texas and Webster City, Iowa.
The
Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries including NaturalShrimp USA Corporation (“NSC”) and NaturalShrimp Global, Inc.
(“NS Global”) and Natural Aquatic Systems, Inc. (“NAS”), and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas
limited liability company.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”), assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization
of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had
a net loss available for common stockholders of approximately $ 2,926,000 . As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit
of approximately $ 186,717,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $ 39,417,000 . These factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance date of this filing. The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional capital or debt financing to meet
short and long-term operating requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company received net cash proceeds of approximately
$ 486,000 from the sale of common shares (See Note 8), and $ 200,000 from the sale of Series G Preferred stock. Subsequent to period end,
the Company received approximately $ 42,000 for the sale of common shares and $ 100,000 from the sale of Series G Preferred stock (See
Note 12).
Management
believes that private placements of equity capital will be needed to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. The Company
may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result
in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership
of its current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock.
Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available
on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly
and materially restrict its operations. The Company continues to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital
position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may be unable to develop its facilities and enter into
production.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial information as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 has been prepared
in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10
of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our condensed consolidated financial position at such date and the condensed
consolidated operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant
to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements
and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2024 included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on July 17, 2024.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date
but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
Consolidation
The
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including
NSC, NS Global and NAS, and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas limited liability company. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use
of Estimates
Preparing
financial statements in conformity with US 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share
Basic
and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are computed
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260
– 10 “ Earnings per Share ”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. As of the three months
ended June 30, 2024, the Company had 5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option
into approximately 1,192,874,000 underlying common shares, 1,656 of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately
5,678,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $ 0.35 , 750,000 shares of Series
F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 286,290,000 underlying common shares, 645

Fair
Value Measurements
ASC
Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurement” , requires that certain financial instruments be recognized at their fair values
at the balance sheet dates. However, other financial instruments, such as debt obligations, are not required to be recognized at their
fair values, but US GAAP provides an option to elect fair value accounting for these instruments. US GAAP requires the disclosure of
the fair values of all financial instruments, regardless of whether they are recognized at their fair values or carrying amounts. For
financial instruments recognized at fair value, GAAP requires the disclosure of their fair values by type of instrument, along with other
information, including changes in the fair values of certain financial instruments recognized in the operating results or within comprehensive
income (loss) of the respective period. For financial instruments not recognized at fair value, the disclosure of their fair values is
provided below under “Financial Instruments.”
Nonfinancial
assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and nonfinancial liabilities are recognized at their carrying amounts in the Company’s
balance sheets. GAAP does not permit nonfinancial assets and liabilities to be remeasured at their fair values. However, GAAP requires
the remeasurement of such assets and liabilities to their fair values upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the impairment of
property, plant and equipment. In addition, if such an event occurs, GAAP requires the disclosure of the fair value of the asset or liability
along with other information, including the gain or loss recognized in operating results in the period the remeasurement occurred.
The
Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
The
warrant liabilities and fair value option on Restructured notes, are Level 3 fair value measurements.
The
following is a summary of activity of Level 3 during the nine months ended June 30, 2024 and the year ended March 31, 2024:

the price of the Company’s common stock of $ 0.011 ; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.52 % to 4.71 %; and expected volatility
of the Company’s common stock ranging from 128.3 % to 137.7 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.
At
March 31, 2024, the fair value of the warrant liability was estimated using a Black Sholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average
inputs: the price of the Company’s common stock of $ 0.011 ; a risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.40 % to 4.59 %, and expected
volatility of the Company’s common stock ranging from 124.8 % to 133.8 % and the remaining terms of each warrant issuance.

On
November 4, 2022, when the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note for two
of their outstanding debentures (Note 6 and Note 7), which were accounted for as debt extinguishment, the Company elected to recognize
the new debt under the fair value option within ASC Topic 825, “ Financial Instruments .” The fair value for both periods
is based on the maturity dates, the interest of 12 %, the 15 % exit fee, the 2% appreciation fee for an estimated period, and a 45% and
40% present value factor , respectively as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Financial
Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and debt and are accounted for under
the provisions of ASC Topic 825. The carrying amount of these financial instruments, with the exception of discounted debt, as reflected
in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
the purpose of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased
with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
The
Company maintains cash balances at two financial institutions. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $ 250,000 . As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash balance did not exceed
FDIC coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and periodically evaluates the credit worthiness of the financial
institutions and has determined the credit exposure to be negligible.

is carried at historical value or cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Maintenance
and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. At the time of retirement or other disposition of equipment, the cost and accumulated
depreciation will be removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, will be reflected in operations.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees in accordance with ASC 718. “ Stock-based Compensation
to Employees ” is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite
employee service period. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based payments using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for
common stock options and warrants and the closing price of the Company’s common stock for common share issuances. Once the stock
is issued the appropriate expense account is charged.
10
Intangible
Assets
The
Company has intangible assets, which were acquired in a patent acquisition, and license rights agreements. The Company’s patents
represent definite lived intangible assets and will be amortized over the twenty-year duration of the patent, unless at some point the
useful life is determined to be less than the protected life of the patent. The Company’s license rights will be amortized on a
straight-line basis over the expected term of the agreements of ten years. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023,
the amortization of the patents was $ 97,500 and $ 97,500 and in the amortization of the license rights was $ 270,000 and $ 270,000 , respectively.
The
Company periodically evaluates the remaining useful lives of its finite-lived intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances
warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. As of June 30, 2024, the Company believes the carrying value of the intangible
assets are still recoverable, and there is no impairment to be recognized.
License
agreements
On
August 25, 2021, the Company, through its 100 % owned subsidiary NAS, entered into an Equipment Rights Agreements with Hydrenesis-Delta
Systems, LLC (“Hydrenesis-Delta”) and a Technology Rights Agreement, in a sub-license agreement with Hydrenesis Aquaculture
LLC (“Hydrenesis-Aqua”).Both Rights agreements are for a 10-year term, which shall automatically renew for ten-year successive
terms. The agreements accord the exclusive rights to purchase or distribute the technology, or buy or rent the equipment, which is the
primary business and revenue stream generated from indoor aquaculture farming of any species in the territory, which will be named the
NSI Technologies and Equipment (“NSI Technologies”).
The
terms of the Agreements set forth that NAS will pay Hydrenesis 12.5 % royalty fees. The royalties are calculated per all customer or sub-license
revenue generated by NAS, NSI or any affiliate, from the sale or rental of either the Technologies or Hydrenesis Equipment, based on
gross revenue less returns, rebates and sales taxes. There are sales milestones for exclusivity, whereby if NAS fails to achieve a sales
milestone starting in Year 3, the exclusivity rights in both of the Rights agreements shall revert to non-exclusive rights. To maintain
the exclusivity for the subsequent year, the Company may pay the amount of the royalty fees that would have been due if the Sales Milestones
had been met in the current year.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant
such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted
cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated
cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in
a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Commitments
and Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss
to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management
and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing
loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings,
the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived
merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
11
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable
but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable
and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee
would be disclosed.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, as such, the Company records
revenue when its customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company
expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as
to wholesalers, retail establishments and seafood distributors. Additionally, the Company will sell or rent the NSI Technologies.
To
determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs
the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company
which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract which includes shipment
of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order
received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction
price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation which is when the
Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
In
the future, if the Company has customers with long-term contracts for multiple shipments of live shrimp, the Company will elect the right-to-invoice
practical expedient and any variable consideration estimate will be excluded from the transaction price and the revenue will be recognized
directly when the goods are delivered.

Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 , “ Segment Reporting (Topic
280 ) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable
segments. The amendments require enhanced disclosure for certain segment items and required disclosure on how management uses reported
measures to assess segment performance. The amendments do not change how segments are determined, aggregated, or how thresholds are applied
to determine reportable segments. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025 and interim periods beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”
which requires two primary enhancements of 1) disaggregated information on a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation,
and 2) information on cash income taxes paid. Additionally, specific disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefits and indefinite
reinvestment assertions were removed. For public business entities, the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, “Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options
(Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible
Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity” (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain
financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments
and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, “Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options”,
that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host
convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial
instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity,
by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260 to require entities to calculate
diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share
settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller
reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those
fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities,
ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities
should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period.
The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of April 1, 2024, which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
As
of June 30, 2024, there were a few new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has
been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or
will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management’s
Evaluation of Subsequent Events
The
Company evaluates events that have occurred after the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2024, through
the date which the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon the review, other than described in
Note 12 – Subsequent Events, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required
adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

in current liabilities, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
NOTE
6 – RESTRUCTURED AUGUST NOTE PAYABLE
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on August
17, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount
totaling approximately $ 5,433,333 . The Note has an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity date nine months from the issuance
date of the Note. The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $ 433,333 and a transaction expense amount of $ 10,000 , both of
which are included in the principal balance of the Note. On the closing date the Company received $ 1,100,000 , with $ 3,900,000 put into
escrow to be held until certain terms were to be met, which included $ 3,400,000 upon the completion of a successful uplist to NYSE or
NASDAQ. The SPA includes a Security Agreement, whereby the note is secured by the collateral set forth in the agreement, covering all
of the assets of the Company. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at
maturity, shall be subject to an exit fee of 15 % of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid (the “Exit Fee”). As
the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15 % of the principal balance, which totals $ 816,500 , was
recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar to a debt discount.
As
soon as reasonably possible, the Company will cause the common stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ (in
either event, an “Uplist”). In the event the Company has not effectuated the Uplist by November 15, 2022, the then-current
outstanding balance will be increased by 10 %. Following the Uplist, while the Note is still outstanding, ten days after the Company may
have a sale of any of its shares of common stock or preferred stock, there shall be a Mandatory Prepayment equal to the greater of $ 3,000,000
or thirty-three percent of the gross proceeds of the equity sale.
In
conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation, on November 4, 2022, the
Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “August Note”), through
which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The Restructured August Note decreased the principal to $1,748,667, less
an OID of $138,667, and the amount in escrow was returned to the investor, The Restructuring Agreement included key modifications, in
which i) the Uplist terms were removed, ii) in the event that the closing of the Merger does not occur on or before December 31, 2022,
the then-current Outstanding Balance will be increased by 2% and shall increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing or termination
of the Merger Agreement, and iii) the outstanding balance of the Convertible Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of
an event of default or failure to obtain the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions
(“Trigger Events”). The Merger had not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June
30, 2023, in the amount of approximately $ 272,000 . On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination
of the Merger Agreement. On November 20, 2023, the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2024 . The maturity date has been further extended
to August 15, 2024 .
15
The
Restructured August Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note . The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new
debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under
the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared

value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated
for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the provisions in the August Note were not evaluated as to if they fell under the guidance of embedded
derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of June 30, 2024 at approximately $ 2,790,000 , with a

NOTE
7 – RESTRUCTURED SENIOR NOTE PAYABLE
December
15, 2021 Debenture
The
Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with an investor (the “Investor”) on December
15, 2021. Pursuant to the SPA, the Investor purchased a secured promissory note (the “Note”) in the aggregate principal amount
totaling approximately $ 16,320,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The Note has an interest rate of 12 % per annum, with a maturity
date 24 months from the issuance date of the Note (the “Maturity Date”).
Beginning
on the date that is 6 months from the issuance date of the Note, the Investor had the right to redeem up to $ 1,000,000 of the outstanding
balance per month. Payments could have been made by the Company, at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, or (b) by paying the redemption
amount in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $ 0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), per the
following formula: the number of redemption shares equals the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Repayment
Price. The “Redemption Repayment Price” equaled 90% multiplied by the average of the two lowest volume weighted average price
per share of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date that the Investor delivers notice electing
to redeem a portion of the Note. The redemption amount shall include an Exit Fee, consisting of a premium of 15% of the portion of the
outstanding balance being paid. As the Exit Fee is to be included in every settlement of the Note, an additional 15% of the principal
balance, which totals $2,448,000, was recognized along with the principal balance, and offset by a contra account in a manner similar
to a debt discount. In addition to the Investor’s right of redemption, the Company has the option to prepay the Notes at any time
prior to the Maturity Date by paying a premium of 15% plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date.
On
November 4, 2022, the Company entered into a Restructuring Agreement for an Amended and Restated Secured Promissory Note (the “Senior
Note”) with the December 2021 Investor through which the December 2021 Note was amended and restated in its entirety. These amendments
were made in conjunction with the Merger Agreement, entered into on October 24, 2022, with Yotta Acquisition Corporation. The main modification
of the terms of the Senior Note was that the conversion feature was eliminated. Second, a Mandatory Payment was added whereby within
3 trading days of the closing upon the Merger an amount equal to the lesser of (A) one-third of the amount retained in the Trust Account
at the Effective Time or (B) $ 10,000,000 , in order to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Senior Note; after which the
remaining balance of the Senior Note is to be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on a date after the
Merger Agreement closing date (“Closing Date”) or the termination of such agreement. All payments made shall be subject to
an Exit Fee of 15 % of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid. Additionally, if the Closing Date is after December 31, 2022,
the outstanding balance of all indebtedness owed by the Company to December 2021 Investor will be increased automatically by 2% and will
automatically increase by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing, a termination, or substantially similar terms as approved by
the Board of Directors of the Company. Additional key modifications include i) uplist terms in which the Company was to cause the common
stock to be listed for trading on either of (a) NYSE, or (b) NASDAQ, were removed, ii) Maturity date was modified from December 15, 2023
to 12 months from the closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, provided not to be later than September 30, 2024, and iii) the
outstanding balance of the Senior Note may be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain
the Lender’s consent or notify the Lender for certain major equity related transactions (“Trigger Events”). As of June
30, 2023, the Merger had not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30, 2023, in the amount
of approximately $ 2,675,000 . On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the Merger Agreement.
Based on the termination in July of 2023, the equal monthly payments were to begin on September 20, 2023. On July 3, 2024, the Investor
issued a waiver to the Company on the equal monthly payments, which are not currently required to be paid, through August 15, 2024.
16
The
Note also contains certain negative covenants and Events of Default, which in addition to common events of default, include the Company
fails to maintain the share reserve, the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction without the Lenders written consent, the Company effectuates
a reverse split of its common stock without 20 trading days written notice to Lender, fails to observe or perform or breaches any covenant,
and, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, breaches any covenant or other term or condition contained in any Other Agreements in any
material. Upon an Event of a Default, at its option and sole discretion, the Investor may consider the Note immediately due and payable.
Upon such an Event of Default, the interest rate increases to 18% per annum and the outstanding balance of the Note increases from 5%
to 15%, depending upon the specific Event of Default. As of June 30, 2024, the Company is in full compliance with the covenants and Events
of Default.
The
Restructured Senior Note was analyzed under ASC 470-50 as to if the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the conversion feature has been eliminated and therefore the modified
Senior Note is determined to be fundamentally different from the original convertible note. As such, with the removal of the original
note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $ 18,914,000 ,
there was a gain in extinguishment of approximately $ 2,540,000 . As of the restructuring date the derivative had a fair value of $ 12,290,000 ,
based on assumptions used in a bi-nomial option pricing model, which resulted in a change in fair value of $ 17,738,000 as of the restructuring
date, from its previous fair value of $ 30,028,000 . The key valuation assumptions used consist, in part, of the price of the Company’s
common stock of $ 0.16 at issuance date; a risk-free interest rate of 3.73 % and expected volatility of the Company’s common stock,
of 117.77 %, and the strike price of $ 0.1017 .
As
a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the Company will account for
the Restructured Senior Note at fair value every period end until it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument
that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur
should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore, the Company did not evaluate the provisions in the Restructured Senior Note
as to whether they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives and were required to be bifurcated. The Restructured Senior Note was
revalued as of June 30, 2024 at approximately $ 27,690,000 , with a change in fair value of approximately $ 570,000 recognized in the Company’s
accompanying condensed consolidated Statement of Operations. The Restructured Senior Note was revalued as of March 31, 2024 at approximately
$ 27,120,000 , with a change in fair value of approximately $ 5,830,000 recognized in the Company’s accompanying condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2024, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value is
approximately $ 6,463,000 .

NOTE
10 – LEASE
On
May 26, 2021, the Company entered into a sublease for a new office space in Texas. The lease commenced on August 1, 2021 for a monthly
rent of $ 7,000 , and was to terminate on October 31, 2025 . The Company assessed its new office lease as an operating lease.
At
inception, on August 1, 2021, the ROU and lease liability was calculated as approximately $ 316,000 , based on the net present value of
the future lease payments over the term of the lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease discount payments
as the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable
for their corporate office lease. In this case, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate of 5.75 % as the interest rate it
could have incurred to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis over
a term similar to the lease term. The Company estimated its rate based on observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial
debt of a similar duration as to what rate would have been effective for the Company.
On
December 31, 2023, the Company moved to a new office space in Texas, and the sublease in effect was terminated. At the termination of
the original lease, the existing ROU of approximately $ 153,000 and lease liability of approximately $ 175,000 was removed, with a gain
of approximately $ 22,000 recognized in the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
22
On
December 20, 2023, the Company entered into a sublease for a new office space in Texas, with a commencement date of January 1, 2024,
which will terminate on March 31, 2027. The monthly rates are $2,063 for April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, $2,192 for the second
year of April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026 and $2,320 for the final year . On December 19, 2023, the Company paid a $ 2,063 security
deposit, which is included in Prepaid expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company assessed its new
office lease as an operating lease.
At
inception, as of January 1, 2024, the ROU and lease liability was calculated as approximately $ 61,000 , based on the net present value
of the future lease payments over the term of the lease. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease discount payments
as the incremental borrowing rate to calculate the net present value; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable
for their corporate office lease. In this case, the Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate of 14.5 % as the interest rate it
could have incurred to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment on a collateralized basis over
a term similar to the lease term. The Company estimated its rate based on observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial
debt of a similar duration as to what rate would have been effective for the Company.
On
September 8, 2021, the Company entered into an equipment lease agreement for VOIP phone equipment. The lease term is for sixty months,
with a monthly lease payment of approximately $ 300 . The Company assessed the equipment lease as an operating lease. The Company determined
the Right of Use asset and Lease liability values at inception as approximately $ 17,000 calculated at the present value of all future
lease payments for the lease term, using an incremental borrowing rate of 5.75 %.
The
following is a schedule of maturities of lease liabilities as of June 30, 2024:

Overview
We
are an aquaculture technology company that has developed proprietary, patented platform technologies to allow for the production of aquatic
species in an ecologically controlled, high-density, low-cost environment, and in fully contained and independent production facilities
without the use of antibiotics or toxic chemicals. We own and operate indoor recirculating Pacific White shrimp production facilities
in Texas and Iowa using these technologies.
24
We
were incorporated in July 2008 and acquired substantially all of the assets of NSH, the company that developed the proprietary technology
to grow and sell shrimp potentially anywhere in the world that is now the basis of our business. In 2015 NSH acquired 88.62% of the issued
and outstanding shares of NaturalShrimp Common Stock, NSC and NS Global became our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and we changed our principal
business to a global shrimp farming company.
On
October 5, 2015, we formed NAS with F&T Water Solutions, LLC (“F&T”), the purpose of which was to jointly develop
with F&T certain water technologies.
On
December 17, 2020, we acquired for $10.0 million certain assets from VeroBlue Farms USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which assets included
our three current facilities located in Iowa.
On
May 25, 2021, we purchased certain parent and intellectual property rights from F&T and acquired all of its outstanding shares in
NAS, thereby making NAS our wholly-owned subsidiary, for $3.0 million in cash and 13,861,386 shares of NaturalShrimp Common Stock.
On
August 25, 2021, through NAS, we entered into an Equipment Rights Agreements with Hydrenesis-Delta Systems, LLC and a Technology Rights
Agreement with Hydrenesis Aquaculture LLC. The Equipment Rights Agreement relates to specialized and proprietary equipment used to produce
and control, dose, and infuse Hydrogas ® and RLS ® into both water and other chemical species, while the
Technology Rights Agreement provides us with a sublicense to the rights to Hydrogas ® and RLS ® .
The
Company has three wholly-owned subsidiaries: NSC, NS Global, and NAS, and owns 51% of NaturalShrimp/Hydrenesis LLC, a Texas limited liability
company.
Most
of the shrimp consumed in the world today come from shrimp farms that can only produce crops between one and four times per year. Consequently,
the shrimp from these farms requires freezing between crops until consumed. Our system is designed to harvest different tanks each week,
which provides for fresh shrimp throughout the year. We strive to create a niche market of “Always Fresh, Always Natural”
shrimp. As opposed to many of the foreign shrimp farms, we can also claim that our product is 100% free of antibiotics. The ability to
grow shrimp locally and year-round allows us to provide this high-end product to upscale restaurant and grocery stores throughout the
world. We rotate the stocking and harvesting of our tanks each week, which allows for weekly shrimp harvests. Our product is free of
pollutants and is fed only the highest-quality feeds.
We
began making regular weekly sales of live shrimp from our Iowa production facility in November 2021 and from our Texas production facility
in June 2022. The Company is using its aforementioned platform technologies to retrofit 344,000 square feet of its existing Iowa facilities
that we expect will, once fully operational, produce 18,000 pounds of shrimp per week. We believe that the combined output from our La
Coste, Texas and Iowa facilities will be approximately 24,000 pounds of shrimp production per week by the third calendar quarter of 2025.
We can, however, provide no assurances as to how significant our revenue will be in the next one to two fiscal quarters.
Results
of Operations
Comparison
of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023
Revenue
We
had gross sales revenue of $36,618 and $205,872, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, a decrease of approximately
$169,000, or 82%.
Our
decrease in gross sales revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2024 over the same period in the prior year was a result of the
revenue recognized under ASC 606 in the quarter of the prior year as the Company entered into a six month agreement with a company for
the use of the NSI Technologies on May 21, 2023, and received the initial payment of $150,000, before the monthly payments required in
the contract. There is no contract for the use of the NSI Technologies in the current period. In addition, there has been a decrease
in the sale of shrimp over the same period last year.
25
Cost
of Sales
Cost
of sales includes direct costs related to the production and sale of our products, primarily the cost of the post-larva shrimp that we
purchase to grow into our shrimp product at our facilities and the costs of shipping purchase orders to customers. Cost of sales were
$34,732 and $49,741, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily
due to the decrease in shrimp sales during Q1 2025 as compared to the same period in prior year.
Operating
Expenses
The
following table summarizes the various components of our operating expenses for each of the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

$ 2,459,018
Operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $2,065,428, which is a 16.0% decrease as compared to operating expenses of $2,459,018
for the same period in 2023. The overall change in expenses is primarily due to the approximately $200,000 decrease in facility operations
relating to the progress of the commercial operations in the new plant in Iowa as well as in Texas due to completion of the work, and
the salt expense was reduced in this quarter compared to last, due to changes and improvement for the system in Iowa. In addition, the
rent expense was reduced by approximately $17,000, or 76.9% based on the termination of the previous lease agreement and the smaller
lease expense under the new lease agreement. Finally, professional services decreased by approximately $82,000, or 26.3%, which is primarily
comprised of salaries being decreased by approximately $57,000, a 11.2% decrease, as well as general and administrative expenses decreased
by approximately $38,000 in the current period.
Other
Income (Expense)

26
Other
income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased approximately $743,000 from other income into other expense, from
the same period in the prior year, due almost entirely from the difference in the change in fair value of the restructured notes between
periods and the change in fair value of the warrant liability. Additionally, in the prior period there was $180,000 in extension fees
related to the attempted merger, which was terminated in July of 2023.
The
Company originally recognized the warrant liability in December 2021 and revalues it at the end of each reporting period. The decrease
in the fair value for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year end, resulted in a $5,000 recognition as income
during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a decrease in fair value during the three months ended June 30, 2023, which
resulted in a $50 ,000 recognition as income during the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Liquidity,
Financial Condition and Capital Resources
As
of June 30, 2024, we had cash on hand of approximately $5,000 and working capital deficiency of approximately $38,697,000, as compared
to cash on hand of approximately $116,000 and a working capital deficiency of approximately $38,147,000 as of March 31, 2024. The working
capital deficiency for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the March 31, 2023 year-end has a slight increase (a reduced
working capital) of 1.4%. This is mainly due to the decrease in cash on-hand and current period expense of the previous Deferred offering
costs, offset by a slight decrease in current liabilities from the reclass of the accrued interest into the inclusion in the line item
for the fair value of the restructured notes offset by new promissory notes.
Working
Capital Deficiency
The
following table summarizes our working capital deficiency as of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2023:

38,528,534
Working capital deficiency
$ (39,417,481 )
$ (38,147,399 )
Current
assets decreased mainly because of the use of cash on hand. The increase in current liabilities is primarily due to the change in the
fair value option of the restructured notes payable, the accrual of interest on notes payable with related parties and accrued dividends
payable, offset by the partition from the January 2023 note payable which was exchanged for common shares.
27
Cash
Flows
The
following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
Three months Ended

Net cash provided by financing activities
685,838
1,274,512
Net change in cash
$ (110,547 )
$ (146,694 )
Net
cash used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2024, was a decrease of approximately $595,000 as compared to
the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash used is primarily due to the difference in the current period adjustments to reconcile
the net loss to net cash. While the depreciation and amortization is similar in both periods, there are changes in the change of fair
value of restructured notes payable between the periods with an increase in the fair value in the current period compared to a loss in
the prior period, as well as the difference in the change in the warrant fair value between periods. In addition, the change in the amortization
of the operating lease right-of-use assets and the gain on termination of lease, based on the change in office lease. Furthermore, there
was an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and the new operating lease liability.
The
net cash provided by investing activities in the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by approximately $30,000 compared to net
cash used by investing activities for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the current period, cash was provided by $10,000
of cash received for the sale of machinery and equipment, as compared to cash used in the prior year period to purchase fixed assets
which consists of approximately $39,000, offset by $19,000 of cash received for the sale of machinery and equipment.
The
net cash provided by financing activities decreased by approximately $589,000 between periods. For the current period, the Company received
approximately $486,000 for the sale of shares of common shares and $200,000 for the sale of the new Series G Preferred Shares. In the
same period in the prior year the Company received $1,299,000 for the sale of shares of common stock offset by the payment of $24,000
on notes payable,
Our
cash position was approximately $5,000 as of June 30, 2024. Management believes that our cash on hand and working capital deficit are
not sufficient to meet our current anticipated cash requirements for additional anticipated capital expenditures, operating expenses
and scale-up of operations for the next twelve months.

$10,000,000
Common Stock Equity Financing
On
April 28, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Financing Agreement (“Equity Financing Agreement”) and Registration Rights
Agreement with GHS. Under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS agreed to provide the Company with up to $10,000,000 upon
effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC. The Registration
Statement was filed on July 20, 2023 and the SEC declared it effective on August 14, 2023.
With
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company now has the discretion to deliver puts to GHS and GHS will be obligated
to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) based on the investment
amount specified in each put notice. The maximum amount that the Company shall be entitled to put to GHS in each put notice shall not
exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily trading dollar volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10)
trading days preceding the put, so long as such amount does not equal less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or greater than one million
dollars ($1,000,000). Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, GHS and its affiliates will not be permitted to purchase, and the Company
may not put shares of the Company’s Common Stock to GHS that would result in GHS’s beneficial ownership equaling more than
4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. The price of each put share shall be equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Market
Price (as defined in the Equity Financing Agreement). Following an up-list to the NASDAQ or equivalent national exchange, the price of
each put share shall be equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Market Price, subject to a floor price of $1.00 per share. Puts may be delivered
by the Company to GHS until the earlier of twenty-four (24) months after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the date
on which GHS has purchased an aggregate of $10,000,000 worth of Common Stock under the terms of the Equity Financing Agreement.
The
Company submitted a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment”) to this Registration Statement for the purpose of providing
information from its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC July 17, 2024. The original Registration
Statement registered 324,675,325 common shares, with 243,860,340 common shares having been issued to the selling stockholder after the
Registration Statement was declared effective, with this Amendment registering for resale by the selling stockholder a total of 80,814,985
shares which remain to be issued.
In
the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company sold 66,392,019 shares of common stock at a net amount of approximately $486,000, at
share prices of $0.007 through $0.008, in relation to the Equity Financing Agreement.

Stock is required to be redeemed by the Company no later than one calendar year from the date of its issuance. The Series G Preferred
Stock are also redeemable at the option of the Company at any time after the original issued date, upon 3 business days’ notice,
at a premium rate which is (a) 1.15 if all of the Series G Preferred Stock is redeemed within 90 calendar days from the issuance date
thereof; (b) 1.2 if all of the Series G Preferred Stock is redeemed after 90 calendar days and within 120 calendar days from the issuance
date thereof; (c) 1.25 if all of the Series G PS is redeemed after 120 calendar days and within 180 calendar days from the issuance date
thereof. The Company shall be permitted to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock at any time in cash upon 3 business days prior notice
to the Holder or the Holder may convert the Series G Preferred Stock within 3 business days period prior to redemption. The Holder shall
have the right to either redeem for cash or convert the Series G Preferred Stock into common stock within 3 business days following the
consummation of a qualified offering. The conversion price is based on the discounted market price which is the lower of: (i) A fixed
price equaling the closing bid price for the common stock on the trading day preceding the execution of the SPA; or (ii) 100% of the
lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP)” for the common stock during 10 trading days preceding the conversion request,
subject to adjustment.
Series
G Preferred Equity Offering
On
December 14, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the sale of 110 shares of Series G Preferred Stock at
a price of $1,000 per share of preferred stock, for a total of $110,000. The Purchaser also received an “Equity Incentive”,

January
2023 Note
On
January 20, 2023, the Company entered into a secured promissory note (“January 2023 Note”) with an investor (the “Investor”).
The January 2023 Note is in the aggregate principal amount of $631,968. The Note has an interest rate of 10% per annum, with a maturity
date nine months from the issuance date of the Note. The Note carried an original issue discount totaling $56,868, whereby the purchase
price is $575,100. All payments made by the Company under the terms in the note, including upon repayment of this Note at maturity, shall
be subject to an exit fee of 15% of the portion of the outstanding balance being paid. The cash was not transferred to the Company’s
bank account, but instead to the merger entity, Yotta, for a contribution to a required extension fee for the business combination. On
November 17, 2023, the Company received an extension of the maturity date to June 30, 2024, for a $5,000 extension fee. The maturity
date has been further extended to August 15, 2024.
On
April 3, 2024, the Company and the Investor entered into a fifth Exchange Agreement on the January 2023 Note. In the Exchange Agreement
the remaining January 2023 Note was partitioned into a $92,700 new promissory note, leaving the original January 2023 Note with an adjusted
balance of $221,018. The partitioned note was exchanged for 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares of common
stock issued had a fair value of $100,000 based on the market price of the shares of $0.010 on the execution date, resulting in an excess
of $7,300 to be recognized as a financing expense.
April
2023 Promissory Note
On
April 21, 2023, the Company entered into a $60,000 promissory note with Yotta Investment LLC (“Yotta”), with no interest
to accrue on the principal balance. The promissory note is to be settled on the date of closing of the business combination contemplated
by the Merger Agreement with Yotta (“Merger Agreement”). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, including the termination
of the Merger Agreement, the unpaid principal balance of this note, and all other sums payable with regard to this note, shall automatically
and immediately become due and payable, in all cases without any action on the part of the Company. The Merger Agreement was terminated,
and management believes the promissory note will be settled in the Breakup Fee.
30
May
2023 Promissory Note
On
May 17, 2023, the Company entered into an additional $60,000 promissory note with Yotta, with no interest to accrue on the principal
balance. The promissory note is to be settled on the date of closing of the business combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement
with Yotta. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, including the termination of the Merger Agreement, the unpaid principal balance
of this note, and all other sums payable with regard to this note, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, in all
cases without any action on the part of the Company. The Merger Agreement was terminated, and management believes the promissory note
will be settled in the Breakup Fee.
Restructured
August Note payable
On
August 17, 2022, Streeterville purchased from us the August Note. The August Note has an annual interest rate of 12% and was to mature
nine months from the effective date. The August Note carried an original issue discount (“OID”) totaling $433,333 and a transaction
expense amount of $10,000, both of which are included in its principal balance. At issuance the Company received $1.1 million, with $3.9
million put into escrow to be held until certain terms are met, which includes $3.4 million upon the listing of the NaturalShrimp Common
Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or Nasdaq. The August Note also provided that if the Company did not effect
the listing of the NaturalShrimp Common Stock by November 15, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance on the August Note increased
by 10%, and that following such listing, while the August Note was still outstanding, 10 days after the Company sold any shares of NaturalShrimp
Common Stock or NaturalShrimp Preferred Stock, it would have been required to make a mandatory prepayment on the August Note equal to
the greater of $3.0 million or 33% of the gross proceeds of such equity sale. The August Note is secured by all of the assets of the
Company. All payments made by the Company on the note, including upon repayment at maturity, is subject to an exit fee of 15% of the
portion of the outstanding balance being paid.
In
conjunction with the October 24, 2022 Merger Agreement with Yotta Acquisition Corporation, on November 4, 2022, the Company entered into
a Restructuring Agreement with respect to the August Note through which the August Note was amended and restated in its entirety. The
Restructuring Agreement included key modifications, in which (i) the uplist terms were removed, (ii) in the event that the Closing does
not occur on or before December 31, 2022, the then-current outstanding balance will be increased by 2% and will increase by 2% every
30 days thereafter until the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, and (iii) the outstanding balance of the August Note may
be increased by 5% to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default or failure to obtain Streeterville’s consent or notify Streeterville
for certain major equity related transactions. On November 20, 2023, the maturity date was extended to June 30, 2024. The maturity date
has been further extended to August 15, 2024.
We
analyzed the restructured August Note under ASC 470-50 as to whether the change in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the present value of the cash flows under the terms of the new
debt instrument was evaluated to be a substantial change, as over 10% difference from the present value of the remaining cash flows under
the terms of the original instrument. As such, with the removal of the original note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared
to the restructured note with a fair value of approximately $1.9 million, there was a loss in extinguishment of approximately $157,000.
As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s election of the fair value option under ASC 825, the August Note will be
accounted for at fair value until it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b), a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair
value under ASC 825 fair value option each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated
for embedded derivatives. Therefore, we did not evaluate the provisions in the August Note as to whether it fell under the guidance of
embedded derivatives and was required to be bifurcated. The August Note was revalued as of June 30, 2024 at approximately $2,790,000,
with a change in fair value of approximately $150,000. As of June 30, 2024, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is
included in the fair value is approximately $490,000.
31
Promissory
Note — related parties
On
July 10 through July 17, 2023, the Company received $140,000 in proceeds from the issuance of three promissory notes with related parties.
The notes bear interest at 10% and have maturity dates one year from the issuance date. The maturity date has been extended for six months to two of the related parties and three months for one of the
related party.
On
August 10, 2022, the Company entered into a loan agreement for an aggregate of $300,000 with six related parties, which is to be considered
priority debt of the Company. As of the date of this report, five of the related parties have entered into promissory notes under the
loan agreement for $50,000 each, for a total of cash received of $250,000. The notes bear interest at 10% per annum and are due one year
from the date of the note. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the interest expense for the related party promissory notes
was approximately $9,000 and $21,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the accrued interest related to the related
party promissory notes was approximately $41,000 and $22,000, respectively.
Restructured
Senior Note payable
We
issued the Convertible Note in December 2021. The Convertible Note had an annual interest rate of 12% and matured on December 15, 2023.
The Convertible Note carried an OID totaling $1.3 million and a transaction expense amount of $20,000, both of which were included in
the principal balance of the Convertible Note. The Convertible Note had $2.0 million in debt issuance costs, including fees paid in cash
of $1.1 million and warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that we issued to the placement agents
with a fair value of $940,000. The warrant fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes Model, with the following inputs: the price
of the common stock of $0.32; a risk-free interest rate of 1.19%; the expected volatility of the common stock of 209.9%; the estimated
remaining term; and a dividend rate of 0%. We classified the warrants as a liability, as it was not known if there would be sufficient
authorized shares to be issued upon settlement, based on the conversion terms of the convertible debt.
In
accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company and Streeterville entered into Restructuring Agreement dated as of November
4, 2022, pursuant to which the Convertible Note was amended and restated, and the Company issued to Streeterville and Amended and Restated
Secured Promissory Note that amended and replaced the Convertible Note (the “Restructured Senior Note”), that: (i) eliminated
the conversion feature of the Convertible Note; (ii) provides that within three trading days of the closing of the Business Combination,
NaturalShrimp as the surviving entity in its merger with Merger Sub as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yotta will pay Streeterville an amount
equal to the lesser of (A) one-third of the amount (calculated prior to any deductions for any broker, underwriter, legal, accounting
or other fees) retained in Yotta’s Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) at the effective time of the Business Combination
or (B) $10,000,000, in order to repay a portion of the outstanding balance of the Restructured Senior Note; (iii) provide that the remaining
balance of the Restructured Senior Note must be repaid in equal monthly installments over a 12-month period beginning on the second month
immediately following either the closing date of the Business Combination or the termination of the Merger Agreement, but in no case
later than June 30, 2024; and (iv) provides that if the closing date of the Business Combination is after December 31, 2022, the outstanding
balance of all indebtedness owed by NaturalShrimp to Streeterville will be increased automatically by 2% and will automatically increase
by 2% every 30 days thereafter until the closing of the Business Combination or the termination of the Merger Agreement.
32
As
of June 30, 2023, the Merger had not yet closed, and therefore the 2% of the outstanding balance was increased as of June 30, 2023, in
the amount of approximately $2,675,000. On July 20, 2023, the Company sent Yotta notice of the Company’s termination of the Merger
Agreement. Based on the termination in July of 2023, the equal monthly payments were to begin on September 20, 2023. On July 3, 2024,
the Investor issued a waiver to the Company on the equal monthly payments, which are not currently required to be paid, through August
15, 2024.
We
analyzed the Restructured Senior Note under ASC 470-50 as to if the changes in terms qualified as a modification or an extinguishment
of the note. The changes in terms were considered an extinguishment as the conversion feature has been eliminated and therefore the Restructured
Senior Note is determined to be fundamentally different from the original Convertible Note. As such, with the removal of the Convertible
Note and its debt discount and accrued interest as compared to the Restructured Senior Note with a fair value of approximately $18.9
million, there was a gain in extinguishment of approximately $2.5 million. As a result of the extinguishment and at the Company’s
election of the fair value option under ASC 825, we will account for the Restructured Senior Note at fair value every period end until
it is settled. In accordance with ASC 815- 15-25-1(b) a hybrid instrument that is measured at fair value under ASC 825 fair value option
each period with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur should not be evaluated for embedded derivatives. Therefore,
we did not evaluate the provisions in the Restructured Senior Note as to whether they fell under the guidance of embedded derivatives
and were required to be bifurcated. We revalued the Restructured Senior Note as of June 30, 2024 at approximately $27,690,000, with a
change in fair value of approximately $570,000 recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of
June 30, 2024, the accrued interest from the restructuring date, which is included in the fair value is approximately $6,463,000.
Series
E Preferred Stock and Warrant
On
November 22, 2021, we sold to an accredited investor 1,500 shares of Series E Preferred at a price of $1,000 per share and a warrant
to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of NaturalShrimp common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment as set
forth therein, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.5 million. We received approximately $1.4 million in net proceeds after deducting
the commission of Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC (the placement agent) and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. We
issued warrants to purchase 334,116 shares of our common stock to the placement agent as placement agent fees.
On
July 24, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with another accredited investor for the additional sale of 156
shares of Series E Preferred Stock at a price of $1,000 per share of Preferred Stock, for a total of $156,000. The Series E Preferred
Stock will earn a dividend of 12% per annum, for as long as the relevant Preferred Stock has not been redeemed or converted. Dividends
are to be paid quarterly, and at the Company’s discretion, in cash or Preferred Stock calculated at the purchase price. As of June
30, 2024 the accretion for the Series E Preferred Stock was $9,300.
As
of June 30, 2024 there were 1,656 shares of Series E Preferred Stock remaining outstanding.
33
Going
Concern and Management Liquidity Plans
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern. For the
three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a net loss available for common stockholders of approximately $2,926,000. As of June
30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $186,717,000 and a working capital deficit of approximately $39,417,000.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, within one year from the issuance
date of this filing. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise the required additional
capital or debt financing to meet short and long-term operating requirements. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company
received net cash proceeds of approximately $486,000 from the sale of common shares, and $200,000 from the sale of Series G Preferred
stock. Subsequent to period end, the Company received approximately $42,000 for the sale of common shares and $100,000 from the sale
of Series G Preferred stock
Management
believes that private placements of equity capital will be needed to fund the Company’s long-term operating requirements. The Company
may also encounter business endeavors that require significant cash commitments or unanticipated problems or expenses that could result
in a requirement for additional cash. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership
of its current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock.
Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available
on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly
and materially restrict its operations. The Company continues to pursue external financing alternatives to improve its working capital
position. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may be unable to develop its future planned facilities
and, concomitantly, increase its shrimp production.
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this report do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability
to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through
the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current stockholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences,
or privileges senior to the rights, preferences, and privileges of the NaturalShrimp Common Stock. Additional financing may not be available
upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be
able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future
plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues.
Future
Financing
We
will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our business. In addition, while we have received capital from various
private placements that have enabled us to fund our operations, these funds have been largely used to develop our processes, although
additional funds are needed for other corporate operational and working capital purposes. However, not including funds needed for capital
expenditures or to pay down existing debt and trade payables, we anticipate that we will need to raise an additional $2.5 million to
cover all of our capital and operational expenses over the next 12 months, not including any capital expenditures needed as part of any
commercial scale-up of our equipment. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may
result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available
to us when needed or, if available, that such financing can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain
the additional necessary financing on a timely basis, or if we are unable to generate significant revenues from operations, we will not
be able to meet our other obligations as they become due, and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
have no 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
is material to stockholders.
Effects
of Inflation
We
do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our
significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. We believe that the accounting policies
below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations.
Fair
Value Measurement
The
fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement
that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes
a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest
priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority
to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance
are described below:
Level
1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
34
Level
2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability; or
Level
3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported
by little or no market activity).
The
warrant liabilities and fair value option on Restructured notes, are Level 3 fair value measurements.
Basic
and Diluted Earnings/Loss per Common Share
Basic
and diluted earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are computed
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260
– 10 “ Earnings per Share ”, which establishes the requirements for presenting EPS. Basic EPS is based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (denominator) during the period. As of the three months
ended June 30, 2024, the Company had 5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option
into approximately 1,192,874,000 underlying common shares, 1,656 of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately
5,678,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $0.35, 750,000 shares of Series
F Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holders’ option into approximately 286,290,000 underlying common shares, 645
of Series G Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 387,000,000 underlying shares are convertible at the investors’
option at a conversion price based on the discounted market price of $0.002 and 18,573,116 warrants outstanding which were not included
in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive. As of the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had
5,000,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which would be converted at the holder’s option into approximately 868,264,000 underlying
common shares, 1,500 of Series E Redeemable Convertible Preferred shares whose approximately 5,143,000 underlying shares are convertible
at the investors’ option at a fixed conversion price of $0.35, 750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock which would be converted
at the holders’ option into approximately 208,383,000 underlying common shares, and 18,573,116 warrants outstanding which were
not included in the calculation of diluted EPS as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets and Long-lived Assets
The
Company will periodically evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used when events and circumstances warrant
such a review and at least annually. The carrying value of a long-lived asset is considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted
cash flow from such asset is separately identifiable and is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is recognized based on
the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. Fair value is determined primarily using the anticipated
cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved. Losses on long-lived assets to be disposed of are determined in
a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost to dispose.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and, as such, the Company records revenue
when its customers obtain control of the promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects
to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company will sell primarily to food service distributors, as well as to wholesalers,
retail establishments and seafood distributors. Additionally, the Company will sell or rent either the NSI Technologies or Equipment.
35
To
determine revenue recognition for the arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of Topic 606, the Company performs
the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer by receipt of purchase orders and confirmations sent by the Company,
which includes a required line of credit approval process, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, which includes shipment
of goods to the customer FOB shipping point or destination, (3) determine the transaction price which initiates with the purchase order
received from the customer and confirmation sent by the Company and will include discounts and allowances by customer if any, (4) allocate
the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract which is the shipment of the goods to the customer and transaction
price determined in step 3 above and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation, which is when
the Company transfers control of the goods to the customers by shipment or delivery of the products.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Our
recently adopted accounting pronouncements are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial statements included herein for the quarter
ended June 30, 2024.
Recently
Issued Accounting Standards
In
November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 , “ Segment Reporting (Topic
280 ) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable
segments. The amendments require enhanced disclosure for certain segment items and required disclosure on how management uses reported
measures to assess segment performance. The amendments do not change how segments are determined, aggregated, or how thresholds are applied
to determine reportable segments. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning in fiscal 2025 and interim periods beginning
in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 “ Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures”
which requires two primary enhancements of 1) disaggregated information on a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation,
and 2) information on cash income taxes paid. Additionally, specific disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefits and indefinite
reinvestment assertions were removed. For public business entities, the new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning
after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of adopting this ASU.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging
- Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s
Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities
and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing
guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features
and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception
from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s
own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises
the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments
by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an
instrument may be settled in cash or shares. For SEC filers, excluding smaller reporting companies, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2021 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier
than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. For all other entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of the
fiscal year of adoption and cannot adopt the guidance in an interim reporting period. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 as of April 1,
2024, which had no impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

During
the period ending June 30, 2024, there were a few new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each
of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of
these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not
Applicable. As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition,
the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required
to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
The
Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated
the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of
the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Based
upon that evaluation , our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Thus, there remains a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis. This does not include an evaluation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm
regarding the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we cannot provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, to
allow our principal financial and executive officers to make timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of June 30, 2024.
Management’s
evaluation was based on the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which existed as of March
31, 2024, and which continue to exist, as discussed in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K:
●
Inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives;
●
Lack
of independent Board of Directors (as of the balance sheet date) and absence of Audit Committee to exercise oversight responsibility
related to financial reporting and internal control;
●
Lack
of risk assessment procedures on internal controls to detect financial reporting risks in a timely manner; and
●
Lack
of documentation on policies and procedures that are critical to the accomplishment of financial reporting objectives.
37
Our
management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls
and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements
or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Remediation
Plan
Management
continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such
that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
The
remediation actions planned include:
●
Identify
gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company;
●
Establish
an independent Board of Directors and an Audit Committee to provide oversight for remediation efforts and ongoing guidance regarding
accounting, financial reporting, overall risks and the internal control environment;
●
Retain
additional accounting personnel with public company financial reporting, technical accounting, SEC compliance, and strategic financial
advisory experience to achieve adequate segregation of duties; and
●
Continue
to develop formal policies and procedures on accounting and internal control over financial reporting and monitor the effectiveness
of existing controls and procedures.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
PART
II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings
We
are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results
of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency,
self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our Company or any of our subsidiaries,
threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our companies or our subsidiaries’
officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect. The Company has
resolved all outstanding litigation involving the Company and there are no suits or cases pending in which the Company is a party.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Factors
that could cause or contribute to differences in our future financial and operating results include those discussed in the risk factors
set forth in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. The risks described in our Form 10-K and this
Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we do not currently consider significant
may also have an adverse effect on the Company. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows or
financial condition could suffer.
There
have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31,
2024, filed with SEC on July 17, 2024.
Item
2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use Of Proceeds
There
were no unregistered sales of the Company’s equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024 that were not previously
reported in an Annual Report on Form 10-K, a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or a Current Report on Form 8-K .
Unless
otherwise specified, the above securities were issued in reliance on the exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The issuance
of the shares to the consultant qualified for exemption under Section 4(a)(2) since the issuance by us did not involve a public offering.
The offering was not a “public offering” as defined in 4(a)(2) due to the insubstantial number of persons involved in the
transactions, manner of the issuance and number of securities issued. We did not undertake an offering in which we sold a high number
of securities to a high number of investors. In addition, the investor had the necessary investment intent as required by Section 4(a)(2)
since they agreed to and received securities bearing a legend stating that such securities are restricted pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Act. This restriction ensures that these securities would not be immediately redistributed into the market and therefore not be part
of a “public offering”. Based on an analysis of the above factors, we have met the requirements to qualify for exemption
under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
