ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included
elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Note
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report.
It should be noted that current public health
threats could adversely affect our ongoing or planned business operations. In particular, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted
in quarantines, restrictions on travel and other business and economic disruptions. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity
of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage, including the partners
and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct
our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially and adversely impacted. The measures being taken
by service providers and government agencies to suppress the spread of COVID-19 infection may delay time to production of our planned
abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system product and therefor delay the time of filing with FDA for approval.
Overview
Our primary business is the development of a portfolio
of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our lead product is our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system which we are developing to
provide clinicians and patients with an extended-release transdermal fentanyl product for use in managing chronic pain requiring around
the clock opioid therapy combined with properties designed to help combat the opioid crisis by deterring the abuse and misuse of fentanyl
patches. We believe that our abuse deterrent technology can be broadly applied to various transdermal products and our strategy is to
follow the development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system with the development of additional transdermal prescription
products for pharmaceuticals that have risks or a history of abuse. We received on January 28, 2022 an Issue Notification from the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its United States patent entitled, “Abuse and Misuse Deterrent Transdermal System,”
that protects our AVERSA™ transdermal abuse deterrent technology. In addition, we are developing a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical
products to deliver commercially available drugs or biologics that are typically delivered by injection but with the potential to improve
compliance and therapeutic outcomes.
We are proceeding with our development efforts
with respect to these products and to performing contract services for a small number of customers. Because of both our financial position
and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our contract service business has also been scaled back. The description of our business in
this annual report is based on our ability to raise significant financing or enter into a joint venture agreement with a third party that
has the financial ability to fund the joint venture’s operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain necessary
financing or enter into a joint venture agreement on reasonable, if any, terms. If we are not able to continue to obtain financing or
enter into a joint venture agreement, we may not be able to continue in business.
Through July 31, 2018, our business was the development of a line of
consumer and health products that are delivered through a transdermal or topical patch. Consumer products are products that are sold over
the counter and do not require a prescription. Most of our consumer products require FDA approval for sale in the United States, and we
have not sought to obtain, and we do not plan to seek to obtain, FDA approval to market these products in the United States at this time.
Following our acquisition of Pocono, our focus is primarily now on providing contract manufacturing services and consulting services to
3rd party brands with no intention at this time to launch our own consumer products.
With our acquisition of 4P Therapeutics on August
1, 2018, our focus changed, and we are seeking to develop and seek FDA approval on a number of transdermal pharmaceutical products under
development by 4P Therapeutics. As a result of the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, we have pipeline of potential products.
4P Therapeutics has not generated any revenue
from any of its products under development. Rather, prior to our acquisition, 4P Therapeutics generated revenue to provide cash for its
operations through contract research and development and related services for a small number of clients in the life sciences field on
an as-needed basis. We are, for the near term, continuing this activity, although we do not anticipate that it will generate significant
revenues and, since our acquisition, it has generated a negative gross margin. We have no long-term contractual obligations, and either
party can terminate at any time.
With the change in our focus, our capital requirements
have increased substantially. The process of developing pharmaceutical products and submitting them for FDA approval is both time consuming
and expensive, with no assurance of obtaining approval from the FDA to market our product in the United States. We have budgeted $5.0
million for research and development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, including clinical manufacturing and clinical
trials that need to be completed in order to obtain FDA approval. However, the total cost could be substantially in excess of that amount.
On March 25, 2020, we completed a private placement
of 46,828 units at a price of $11 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common
stock at an exercise price of $14 per share. The warrants expire April 30, 2023. We issued a total of 46,828 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 46,828 shares of common stock. We received proceeds of $515,113.
On March 25, 2020, we paid off the convertible
notes in the principal amount of $270,000 from the proceeds of the private placement. The total payments, including the prepayment penalty
and accrued interest, was $345,656. The payment was made from the proceeds of the private placement. As a result of the payment of the
notes, the derivative liability, which was $928,774 at July 31, 2020, was reduced to zero. As a result of a completed private placement,
the warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at the lesser of (i) $20.90 or, (ii) if the Company completes its public offering of its common
stock, 110% of the initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the public offering, became a warrant to purchase 95,000 warrants
at $11 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the warrant. The Company recorded a derivative liability
for the warrants in the amount of $906,678 and reclassed the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital as of January 31, 2021.
In March 2020, a minority stockholder who had
previously made loans to us in the total amount of $215,00, made an additional loan to us in the amount of $60,000, increasing the total
loans from the stockholder to $275,000. On March 27, 2020, we issued 25,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”),
dated December 7, 2020, with the Company, BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel, purchased 81,396 shares of common stock at a price of $8.60 per
share, or $700,000, which provided payment for the RamBam license. The transaction was completed at a closing on February 26, 2021.
On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a
Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), with Pocono Coated Products (“PCP”), pursuant to which PCP agreed to sell the
Company all of the assets associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic and Nutraceutical business (the “Assets”). PCP
is the manufacturer of our transdermal products, and we bought that business from them. The purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,000,000
paid in shares of the Company’s common stock at a value of the average price of the previous 90 days at the date of Closing (the
“Shares”); (ii) a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $1,500,000, which is due upon the earlier of (a)
twelve (12) months from issuance, or (b) immediately following a capital raise of no less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of
no less than $4,000,000. The note was repaid in full in October 2021. Subsequent to the repayment of the note, the Shares were released
from escrow.
On October 5, 2021, the Company, having been approved
for the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market effective October 1, 2021, consummated a public offering (the “IPO”)
of units (the “Units”), of common stock and warrants that were offered in the IPO on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which included
1,056,000 (each a “Unit”), each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one warrant
(each a “Warrant”) at a price of $6.25 per Unit. Each Warrant is immediately exercisable, will entitle the holder to purchase
one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. The underwriters’
over-allotment option was exercised for 158,400 warrants to purchase shares of common stock bringing to total net proceeds to the Company
from the IPO to $5,836,230. The shares of common stock and Warrants are separately transferred immediately upon issuance. As of January
3, 2022, 392,396 Warrants issued in the IPO have been exercised, with net proceeds to the Company of $2,942,970.
On November 1, 2021, The Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Employee
Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Company has reserved 350,000 shares to issue and sell upon the exercise of stock options
issued under the Plan. On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8, to register under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the 350,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. On January 21, 2022, the Board approved
options to purchase 163,500 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to executive officers and directors of the Company at a
price of $4.85 ($5.34 per share for two of the officers as required by IRS rules).
Years Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
For the year ended January 31, 2022, we generated revenue of $1,422,154
and our costs of revenue were $917,844, resulting in a gross margin of $504,310. For the year ended January 31, 2021, we generated revenue
of $943,702 and our costs of revenue were $627,378, resulting in a gross margin of $316,324. Our revenue for January 31, 2022 was derived
from three sources – (1) a continuation of research and development contracts of the type 4P Therapeutics performed prior to our
acquisition, which accounted for $242,354, (2) sales of our consumer transdermal product to or South Korean distributor, which accounted
for $86,600 which our distributor purchased for its preliminary marketing efforts since the product has not obtained regulatory approval
for retail sales in South Korea and (3) sales from our recent acquisition of transdermal patches, which accounted for $1,093,200. Since
we do not have the funds for development of our lead product, the 4P Therapeutics fixed costs are allocated to the contract services that
we perform for clients. Our cost of revenue for our contract research and development services represents basically our labor cost plus
a modest amount of material costs which we passed on to the client. The Company moved from the 4P facilities, and many of the prior costs
relating to the facility were not incurred.
For the year ended January 31, 2022, our selling, general and administrative
expenses were $4,022,824, primarily legal, accounting, administrative salaries and non-cash expenses of $1,364,732, compared to $2,912,269
for the year ended January 31, 2021.The increase from 2021 is primarily attributable to non-cash consulting expenses of $1,364,732, and
the inclusion of expenses of $668,661 of Active Intelligence in 2022.
During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment
expense of $2,180,836 due to a write down of Goodwill in connection with its Pocono acquisition. The write down of goodwill is attributable
primarily to the effects of the pandemic. The valuation of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying amount of goodwill using the
value in use or the going concern premise.
During the year January 31, 2022, the Company
commenced research and development expenses on its Aversa product and incurred $144,000 of salary liabilities that were paid with the
issuance of common stock and other expenses of $267,303.
During the year ended January 31, 2021, we incurred
gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $22,096 in connection with our October 2019 financing in which we raised gross proceeds
of $250,000 and net proceeds of approximately $230,000 from the sale of convertible notes and warrants. During the year ended January
31, 2022, the Company incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of $53,028, consisting primarily of forgiveness of a PPP loan.
We incurred interest expense of $118,421, primarily
from the amortization of debt discounts for the Year ended January 31, 2022, as compared to $280,686 for the year ended January 31, 2021.
As a result of the foregoing, we sustained a net
loss of $6,372,715, or $(0.94) per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended January 31, 2022, compared with a loss of $2,932,828,
or $(0.51) per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended January 31, 2021. The net loss for 2022 includes a deemed dividend of $196,589
from the settlement of a warrant round down.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2022, we had $4,891,868 in cash and cash equivalents
and working capital of $4,686,112, as compared with cash and cash equivalents of $151,993 and working capital deficiency of $2,254,418
as of January 31, 2021. The Company received proceeds of approximately $8.8 million from the completion of its public offering, exercise
of warrants and the sale of common stock during the year ended January 31, 2022.
For the year ended January 31, 2022, we used cash
of $2,809,223 in our operations. The principal adjustments to our net loss of $6,176,126 were amortization of debt discount of $97,477,
depreciation and amortization of $308,741, and stock-based compensation of $1,314,401, and goodwill impairment of $2,180,836, offset by
a gain on extinguishment of debt of $53,028.
For the year ended January 31, 2022, we used cash in investing activities
of $81,595 primarily for the purchase of equipment. During the year ended January 31, 2021, cash received from acquisition amounted to
$66,964.
For the year ended January 31, 2022, we had cash flows of $7,630,721
from financing activities, primarily $9.4 million from the completion of our public offering, exercise of warrants, and gross proceeds
from the sale of common stock offset by a payment on long-term debt of $1.5 million and the repurchase of treasury stock.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that
have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
Going Concern
As of January 31, 2022,
the Company believes the substantial doubt about its status as a going concern has been resolved. The going concern conditions that caused
substantial doubt no longer exist as the Company has positive cash flow during the year ended and as of January 31, 2022 and has positive
working capital as of January 31, 2022. In October 2021, the Company consummated a public offering and received net proceeds of $5,836,230.
The Company also received $2,942,970 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Management retired most of its debt and other current
obligations. Management has implemented other plans to alleviate the substantial doubt. These plans include a substantial increase in
projected sales commitments. These factors did not exist in prior years during its start-up operations. The Company’s recent history
of losses has continued but future positive cash flow projections due to its management’s plans which includes its acquisition in
the latter part of 2020 will enable the Company to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans have been currently implemented. The plans enable the Company to meet its obligations for at least
one year from the date when the financial statements are issued.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which amends the accounting standards for revenue
recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when
products are transferred to a customer. We adopted the guidance under the new revenue standards using the modified retrospective method
effective February 1, 2018. Topic 606 requires us to recognize revenues when control of the promised goods or services and receipt of
payment is probable. The Company recognizes revenue based on the five criteria for revenue recognition established under Topic 606: 1)
identify the contract, 2) identify separate performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price
among the performance obligations, and 5) recognize
revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to, those related to such items as
income tax exposures, accruals, depreciable/useful lives, allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowances. The Company bases
its estimates on historical experience and on other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the
net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability
of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its allowances by both specific identification of customer accounts
where appropriate and the application of historical loss to non-applicable accounts. For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the
Company recorded no bad debt expense for doubtful accounts related to account receivable.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include trademarks, intellectual
property and customer base acquired through business combinations. The Company accounts for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance
of ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The Company capitalizes certain costs related to patent technology. A substantial
component of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisitions have also been assigned to intellectual property and other
intangibles. Under the guidance, other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible
assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Trademarks, intellectual property and customer base are being amortized
over their estimated useful lives of ten years.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between the total purchase price
and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment
annually on January 31, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value
of such assets exceeds their fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. In connection with the Company’s
acquisition of 4P Therapeutics LLC in 2018, the Company recorded Goodwill of $1,719,235. On August 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s
acquisition of PCP Assets and Active Intelligence , the Company recorded Goodwill of $5,810,640. During the year ended January 31, 2022,
the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,180,836 reducing the PCP Assets and Active Intelligence goodwill to $3,629,813. The write
down of goodwill is attributable primarily to the effect of the pandemic. Covid-19, unmet sales expectations, and other factors the Company
determined resulted in the impairment. The valuation of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying amount of goodwill using the value
in use or the going concern premise. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, goodwill amounted to $5,349,039 and $7,529,875, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
Management reviews long-lived assets for potential
impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount
of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
and eventual disposition of the asset. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between the fair market
value of the long-lived asset and the related book value.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed
by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings
per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
options and common stock purchase warrants. As of January 31, 2022, and 2021, there were 1,288,432 and 141,830 common stock equivalents
outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,”
prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services, and, since February
1, 2019, non-employees, are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and
other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That
expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the
requisite service period (usually the vesting period). As of February 1, 2019, pursuant to ASC 2018-07, ASC 718 was applied to stock-based
compensation for both employees and non-employees.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY
DATA
NUTRIBAND INC.
January 31, 2022
Index to Consolidated Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Nutriband Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Nutriband Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period
ended January 31, 2022 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31,
2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2022,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below
are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated
to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved
our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our
opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a
separate audit opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Long-Lived Asset Impairment Assessment
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company performs impairment testing for its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that its carrying amount may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Due to challenging industry and economic conditions, the Company
tested its long-lived assets during the year ended January 31, 2022.
We identified the evaluation of the
impairment analysis for long-lived assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used
in the related cash flow analysis. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required
a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was
Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the
following:
| ● | Testing management’s process for developing
the fair value estimate. |
| | |
| ● | Evaluating the appropriateness of the cash flow
model used by management. |
| | |
| ● | Testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying
data used in the fair value estimate. |
| | |
| ● | Evaluating the significant assumptions used by
management related to revenues, gross margin, other operating expenses, income taxes and long-term growth rate to discern whether they
are reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the entity; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry
data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. |
| | |
| ● | Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were utilized by the Firm
to assist in the evaluation of the discounted cash flow model and discount rate assumptions. |
Goodwill Impairment Assessment
Critical Audit Matter Description
As described in note 2 to the consolidated
financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level, or more frequently, if events or
circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Reporting
units are tested for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded based on the difference between the fair value
and carrying amount, not to exceed the associated carrying amount of goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment test occurred on
January 31, 2022.
We identified the evaluation of the
impairment analysis for goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the
discounted cash flow analysis performed by management to determine fair value of the reporting unit. Performing audit procedures to evaluate
the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS |
Organization
Nutriband
Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on January 4, 2016. In January 2016, the Company acquired Nutriband
Ltd, an Irish company which was formed by the Company’s chief executive officer in 2012 to enter the health and wellness market
by marketing transdermal patches. References to the Company relate to the Company and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.
On
August 1, 2018, the Company acquired 4P Therapeutics LLC (“4P Therapeutics”) for $2,250,000, consisting of 250,000 shares
of common stock, valued at $1,850,000, and $400,000, and a royalty of 6% on all revenue generated by the Company from the abuse deterrent
intellectual property that had been developed by 4P Therapeutics payable to the former owner of 4P Therapeutics. The former owner of
4P Therapeutics has been a director of the Company since April 2018, when the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 4P Therapeutics.
The former owner resigned as a director in January 2022.
4P
Therapeutics is engaged in the development of a series of transdermal pharmaceutical products, that are in the preclinical stage of development.
Prior to the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, the Company’s business was the development and marketing of a range of transdermal
consumer patches. Most of these products are considered drugs in the United States and cannot be marketed in the United States without
approval by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The Company entered a feasibility agreement as an initial step
to seek FDA approval of its consumer transdermal products and its consumer products which are not being marketed in the United States.
With
the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, 4P Therapeutics’ drug development business became the Company’s principal business. The
Company’s approach is to use generic drugs that are off patent and incorporate them into the Company’s transdermal drug delivery
system. Although these medications have received FDA approval in oral or injectable form, the Company needs to conduct a transdermal
product development program which will include the preclinical and clinical trials that are necessary to receive FDA approval before
we can market any of our pharmaceutical products.
On
August 25, 2020, the Company formed Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Pocono Pharmaceuticals”), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company. On August 31, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities associated with the Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic,
and Nutraceutical business of Pocono Coated Products LLC (“PCP”). The net assets were contributed to Pocono Pharmaceuticals.
Included in the transaction the Company also acquired 100% of the membership interests of Active Intelligence LLC (“Active Intelligence”).
See Note 3 for further details of the acquisition.
Pocono
Pharmaceuticals is a coated products manufacturing entity organized to take advantage of unique process capabilities and experience.
Pocono helps their customer with product design and development along with manufacturing to bring new products to market with minimal
capital investment. Pocono Pharmaceutical’s competitive edge is a low-cost manufacturing base: a result of its unique processes
and state of the art material technology. Active Intelligence manufactures activated kinesiology tape. The tape has transdermal and topical
properties. This tape is used as the same as traditional kinesiology tape.
In
December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread world-wide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic
resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mediating various restrictions, including travel restrictions,
restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining people who may have been exposed to the virus.
The effect of these orders, government imposed quarantines and measures the Company would take, such as work-at-home policies, may negatively
impact productivity, disrupt our business and could delay our clinical programs and timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in
part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and disruptions in our operations could negatively impact our business, operating
results and financial condition. Fur ther, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders, or the perception that such orders,
shutdowns, or other restrictions on the conduct of business could occur, related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases could impact
personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities in the United States and other countries, or the availability or cost of materials,
which could disr upt our supply chain.
2. | SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Going
Concern
As
of January 31, 2022, the Company believes the substantial doubt about its status as a going concern has been resolved. The going concern
conditions that caused substantial doubt no longer exist as the Company has positive cash flow during the last year and as of January
31, 2022, has positive working capital. In October 2021, the Company consummated a public offering and received net proceeds of $5,836,230.
The Company also received $2,942,970 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Management retired most of its debt and other current
obligations. Management has implemented other plans to alleviate the substantial doubt. These plans include a substantial increase in
projected sales commitments. These factors did not exist in prior years during its start-up operations. The Company’s recent history
of losses has continued but future positive cash flow projections due to its management’s plans which includes its acquisition
in the latter part of 2020 will enable the Company to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. Management’s plans have been currently implemented. The plans enable the Company to meet its obligations for at
least one year from the date when the financial statements are issued.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated. The operations of 4P Therapeutics are included in the Company’s financial statements from
the date of acquisition of August 1, 2018 , and the operations of Pocono and Active Intelligence are included in the Company’s
financial statements from the date of acquisition of September 1, 2020. The wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows:
Nutriband
Ltd.
4P
Therapeutics LLC
Pocono
Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including,
but not limited to, those related to such items as income tax exposures, accruals, depreciable/useful lives, allowance for doubtful accounts
and valuation allowances. The Company bases i ts estimates on historical experience and on other various assumptions that are believed
to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets
and liabilities that are not read ily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which
amends the accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at
an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to a customer. The Company adopted the guidance under the new
revenue standards using the modified retrospective method effective February 1, 2018 and determined no cumulative effect adjusted to
retained earnings was necessary upon adoption. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenues when control of the promised goods
or services and receipt of payment is probable. The Company recognizes revenue based on the five criteria for revenue recognition established
under Topic 606: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify separate performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate
the transaction price among the performance obligations, and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue
Types
The
following is a description of the Company’s revenue types, which include professional services and sale of goods:
| ● | Service
revenues include the contract of research and development related services with the Company’s
clients in the life sciences field on an as-needed basis. Deliverables primarily consist
of detailed findings and conclusion reports provided to the client for each given research
project engaged. |
| ● | Product
revenues are derived from the sale of the Company’s consumer transdermal and coated
products. Upon the reception of a purchase order, we have the order filled and shipped. |
Contracts
with Customers
A contract with a customer exists when
(i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be
transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii)
we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services that t are transferred is probable based on the customer’s
intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.
Contract
Liabilities
Deferred
revenue is a liability related to a revenue producing activity for which revenue has not been recognized. The Company records deferred
revenue when it receives consideration from a contract before achieving certain criteria that must be met for revenue to be recognized
in conformity with GAAP.
Performance
Obligations
A
performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in
the new revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue
when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For the Company’s different revenue service types, the performance obligation
is satisfied at different times. The Company’s performance obligations include providing products and professional services in
the area of research. The Company recognizes product revenue performance obligations in most cases when the product has shipped to the
customer. When we perform professional service work, we recognize revenue when we have the right to invoice the customer for the work
completed, which typically occurs over time on a monthly basis for the work performed during that month.
All
revenue recognized in the income statement is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.
Disaggregation
of Revenues
The
Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type and by geographical location. See the tables:

Accounts
receivable
Trade
accounts receivables are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful
accounts for estimated losses from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its allowances by
both specific identification of customer accounts where appropriate and the application of historical loss to non-applicable accounts.
For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded no bad debt expense for doubtful accounts related to account receivable.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower
of cost and reasonable value determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realized value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. The cost of finished goods and work in process is comprised
of material costs, direct labor costs and other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). As
of January 31, 2022 and 2021, 100% of the inventory consists of raw materials.
Property,
Plant and Equipment
Property
and equipment represent an important component of the Company’s assets. The Company depreciates its plant and equipment on a straight-line
basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost. Expenditures for minor
repairs, maintenance and replacement parts which do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. All
major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The lives over which the fixed
assets are depreciated range from 3 to 20 years as follows:
Lab Equipment |
|
5-10 years |
Furniture and fixtures |
|
3 years |
Machinery and equipment |
|
10-20 years |
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets include trademarks, intellectual property and customer base acquired through business combinations. The Company accounts for Other
Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The Company capitalizes certain costs
related to patent technology. A substantial component of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisitions have also been
assigned to intellectual property and other intangibles. Under the guidance, other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized
over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Trademarks, intellectual
property and customer base are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the difference between
the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is
reviewed for impairment annually on January 31, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which
the recorded value of such assets exceeds their fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. In connection
with the Company’s acquisition of 4P Therapeutics LLC in 2018, the Company recorded Goodwill of $1,719,235. On August 31, 2020,
in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the PCP Assets and Active Intelligence, the Company recorded Goodwill of $5,810,640.
During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,180,836 reducing the PCP Assets and Active Intelligence
goodwill to $3,629,813. The write down of goodwill is attributable primarily to the effect of the pandemic. COVID-19, unmet sales expectations,
and other factors the Company determined resulted in the impairment. The valuation of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying
amount using the value in use or the going concern premise. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, goodwill amounted to $5,349,039 and $7,529,875,
respectively.
Long-lived
Assets
Management
reviews long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and
exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted
cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would
be the difference between the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related book value.
Earnings
per Share
Basic
earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of shares issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock purchase warrants. As of January 31, 2022, and 2021, there were 1,288,432 and
141,830 common stock equivalents outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect
would be anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based
Compensation
ASC
718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment
transactions in which employee services, and, since February 1, 2019, non-employees, are acquired. Transactions include incurring
liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and
stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as
compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which
an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting
period). As of February 1, 2019, pursuant to ASC 2018-07, ASC 718 was applied to stock-based compensation for both employees and
non-employees.
Business
Combinations
The
Company recognizes the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity at the acquisition
date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the accounting literature. In accordance with
this guidance, acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will
generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces the cost-allocation process detailed in previous accounting literature, which required
the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabil ities assumed based on their estimated fair value.
Leases
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), to provide a new comprehensive model for lease accounting
under this guidance, lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use” model in accounting for all leases (including subleases)
and eliminate the concept of operating leases and off-balance-sheet leases. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will
depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Similar modifications have been made to lessor accounting in-line with revenue
recognition guidance.
The
Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as amended effective February 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. In connection with the adoption,
the Company elected to utilize the Comparative Under 840 Option whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements
and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted under
the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial
direct costs. The Company completed the necessary changes to its accounting policies, processes, disclosure and internal control over
financial reporting.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Income
Taxes
Taxes
are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the United States and Ireland.
The Company accounts for income taxes
under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities
is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The
Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent they believe these assets will more-likely-than-not be realized. In making such
determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary
differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the Company was to
determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company
would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company’s cash and
cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in banks. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes
that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s financial instruments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit
risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2022, three customers
accounted for 19%, 17% and 13% of the Company’s revenues and three customers accounted for 58%, 21% and 17% of accounts receivable.
As of and for the year ended January 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 62% of the Company’s revenues and two customers accounted
for 67% and 13% of accounts receivable.
Fair
Value Measurements
FASB
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the exchange price that
would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy
which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
The Company utilizes the accounting
guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis during the reporting period.
The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company
utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier
value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:
Level
1 -Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets.
Level
2 -Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
Level
3 -Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses,
and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.
Reclassification
The Company has reclassified prior
year amounts to show the allocation of depreciation expense to cost of goods sold.
Recent
Accounting Standards
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies ASC
740 to reduce complexity or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 is
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on February 1, 2021. The adoption
of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU
2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP
on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after
January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on February 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies how to properly account for deferred revenue in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is
effective for periods after December 15, 2022. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2021-08 will have a material effect on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The
Company has reviewed all other FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during
the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous GAAP and does
not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations
in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management and certain
standards are under consideration.
3. | ACQUISITION
OF BUSINESS |
On
August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), with Pocono Coated Products (“PCP”),
pursuant to which PCP agreed to sell the Company certain of the assets and liabilities associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic,
and Nutraceutical business, including: (1) all the equipment, intellectual property and trade secrets, cash balances, receivables, bank
accounts and inventory, free and clear of all liens, except for certain lease obligations, and (2), a 100% membership interest in Active
Intelligence, LLC (collectively the “Assets”). The net assets acquired were contributed to Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc, a
newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,085,180 paid with the issuance of 608,519
shares in the Company’s common stock of Nutriband at a value of the average price of the previous 90 days at the date of Closing
(the “Shares”), and (ii) a promissory note of the Company, net of debt discount, in the principal amount, of $1,332,893 (the
Note”) which is due upon the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from issuance, or (b) immediately following a capital raise of not
less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000. Michael Myer, the CEO of PCP, has been elected to the Board
of Directors of the Company for period of one year at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held in October 2020.
The
Agreement provides that it is effective August 31, 2020, on which date the parties also entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow
Agreement”), with legal counsel serving as the escrow agent, providing for holding of the Note, certificate for the shares, and
title to the Assets (held in a special purpose subsidiary) as collateral security for completion of all closing conditions under the
Agreement. On that date, the parties also entered into a security agreement granting PCP a security interest in all proceeds of the Assets
held as collateral under the Escrow Agreement.
The purpose of the Company entering
into the transaction is to enhance the transdermal products operations of the Company. The fair value of consideration given was allocated
to the net tangible assets acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, both the PCP segment and Active Intelligence were considered to be businesses and,
as such, the transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

Depreciation expense amounted to $178,924
and $91,338 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, depreciation
expense of $113,000 and $45,000, respectively, have been allocated to cost of goods sold.
The Company adopted the provisions of
ASC 740, “Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”). As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no adjustment
in the net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company believes there are no potential uncertain tax positions, and all
tax returns are correct as filed. Should the Company recognize a liability for uncertain tax positions, the Company will separately recognize
the liability for uncertain tax positions on its balance sheet. Included in any liability or uncertain tax positions, the Company will
also setup a liability for interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes.
There is no U.S. tax provision due to
losses from U.S. operations for the years ended January 31, 202 2 and 2021. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The principal item giving rise to deferred
taxes is the net operating loss carryforward in the U.S. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has set up a valuation allowance for losses for certain carryforwards that it believes
may not be realized.
The
provision for income taxes consists of the following:

As
of January 31, 2022, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset associated with a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward
of approximately $7,700,000 that was fully offset by a valuation allowance due to the determination that it was more likely than not
that the Company would be unable to utilize those benefits in the foreseeable future. The Company’s NOL expires in 2039. The tax
effect of the valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,250,000 during the year ended January 31, 2022. On December 22, 2017,
the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing
the corporate rate from 34% to 21%. Because the Company recognizes a valuation allowance for the entire balance, there is no net impact
to the Company’s balance sheet or results of operations.
The types of temporary differences between
tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts that give rise to the deferred tax liability and deferred tax
asset and their approximate tax effects are as follows:

PAYABLE/CONVERTIBLE DEBT |
Notes
Payable
On March 21, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid
Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES ACT” was enacted. The CARES ACT established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”)
which funds small businesses through federally guaranteed loans. Under the PPP, companies are eligible for forgiveness of principal and
interest if the proceeds are used for eligible payroll costs, rent and utility costs. On June 17, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary,
4P Therapeutics, was advanced $34,870 under the PPP, all of which was forgiven as of April 30, 2021. The Company recorded a gain on the
extinguishment of debt of $34,870 during the year ended January 31, 2022.
In
July 2020, a minority shareholder made an additional loan to the Company in the amount of $100,000. The loan is interest-free and due
upon demand. In October 2021, the loan was converted into 17,182 common shares of the Company. The shares were issued at fair market
value and no gain or loss was recorded for the transaction.
Active
Intelligence, the Company’s newly acquired subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the Carolina Small Business Development Fund
for a line of credit of $160,000 due October 16, 2029, with interest of 5% per year. The amount assumed in Note 3 was $139,184. The loan
requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $1,697. During the year ended January 31, 2022, principal and interest payments
of $8,344 were forgiven under the Cares Act. The amount, $8,344, has been recorded as a gain on the forgiveness of debt. As of January
31, 2022, the amount due was $115,238, of which $14,119 is current.
Finance
Leases
Pocono
has two finance leases secured by equipment. The leases mature in 2025 and 2026. The incremental borrowing rate is 5.0%. The amount due
on the leases was $121,544, all of which was paid during the year ended January 2022.
Related
Party Payable
On August 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s acquisition
of Pocono Products LLC, the Company issued to Pocono Coated Products LLC a promissory note, net of debt discount, in the amount of $1,332,893
with interest accruing at an annual rate of 0.17%, due on August 28, 2021, or immediately following the earlier of a capital raise of
no less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000. Pocono Coated Products LLC, a related party, is a shareholder
of the Company. During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount of $97,477. In October
2021, the note in the amount of $1,500,000 was paid in full.
Convertible
Debt
On
October 30, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two investors pursuant to which the Company issued to
the investors (i) 6% one-year convertible promissory notes in the principal amount of $270,000 and (ii) three-year warrant to purchase
50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) $20.90 or (ii) if the Company completes a public offering,
110% of the initial public offering price of the common stock in the public offering. The loans contained an original issue discount
of $20,000 resulting in gross proceeds from this financing of $250,000.
The notes are convertible at a conversion
price equal to the lesser of (i) the per share price of our common stock offered in a public offering or (ii) the variable conversion
price, which is defined as 70% of the lowest trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading days preceding the date of conversion.
The conversion price and the percentage of the trading price is subject to downward adjustment in the event the Company fails to comply
with the obligations under the notes. The Company has the right to prepay the notes during the 180 days following the issuance of the
notes at a premium of 115% of the outstanding principal and interest during the 60 days following the date of issuance of the note, which
percentage increases to 125% during the remainder of the 180-day period. The Company is required to pay the notes one business day after
the closing of the first to occur of (a) the next public offering of the Company’s securities or (b) the next private placement
of the Company’s equity or debt securities in which the Borrower received net proceeds of at least $1.0 million, (c) issuance of
securities pursuant to an equity line of credit or (d) a financing with a bank or other institutional lender.
The
embedded conversion option qualified for derivative accounting and bifurcation under ASC 815 -15 Derivative and Hedging. The initial
fair of the conversion feature was $128,870 and the fair value of the warrants in connection with the notes were valued at $888,789 and
were recorded based on their relative fair values. A debt discount to the note payables of $270,000 and an initial derivative expense
of $767,650 was recorded.
The
debt discount will be amortized over the life of the note. Amortization of the debt discount for the year ended January 31, 2020, was
$202,500.
On
March 25, 2020, the Company prepaid the convertible notes in the principal amount of $270,000 from the proceeds of a private placement.
The total payments, including a prepayment fee of $69,131 and accrued interest, was $345,565. As a result of the payment of the notes,
the derivative liability, which was $928,774 as of January 31, 2020, was reduced to zero. The warrants are no longer a derivative liability
based on the notes being paid in full.
Interest
expense for the year ended January 31, 2022, was $118,421 including the amortization of the debt discount of $97,477 and interest expense
of $20,944. Interest expense for the year ended January 31, 2021, was $280,686 including the amortization of debt discount of $272,130
and interest expense of $8,566.

Legal
Proceedings
On
July 27, 2018, the Company commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida,
against Advanced Health Brands, Inc., Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Laura Fillman and John Baker, together with
a Motion for Temporary Injunction Without Notice and a Motion for Prejudgment Writ of Replevin arising from the Company’s decision
to seek to rescind for misrepresentation the agreement by which the Company acquired advanced Health Brands, Inc. for 1,250,000 shares
of common stock valued at $2,500,000 and seek return of the shares. On August 2, 2018, the court entered a Temporary Injunction Without
Notice and an Order to Show Cause against the defendants. Defendants Kalmar, Murphy, Polly-Murphy, and Baker filed a Motion to Dismiss
the Company’s Verified Complaint, Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction Without Notice and Response to Order to Show Cause, and
Motion to Compel Arbitration. On January 4, 2019, the court dismissed the Company’s complaint with prejudice, and directed the
defendants to assign the Company within 30 days, the six patents never duly transferred to the Company. On February 1, 2019, the Company
appealed the court’s order. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with one of the defendants, that defendant returned the 50,000 shares
which had been issued to her, and the shares were cancelled as of January 31, 2019 . On June 7, 2019, the individual defendants (other
than the defendant whom the Company has a settlement agreement), filed a motion for sanctions and civil contempt against us, which generally
claimed that we failed to comply with the Court’s January 4, 2019, order by refusing to issue the Ruling 144 letters that would
allow the defendants to transfer their shares of common stock. On October 29, 2019, the Court denied the Defendants motion. On March
20, 2020, the Florida district court of appeal reversed the lower court ruling in the Florida state court action that dismissed our complaint,
with prejudice, and gave us leave to file an amended complaint. On July 7, 2020, Defendants filed Notice for Trial, requesting the court
to set a trial date. The Company and defendants have served their first set of interrogatories on each other and have filed answers and
responses to each other’s first set of interrogatories.
On
August 22, 2018, four of the defendants in the Florida action described in the previous paragraph filed a complaint against the Company
in the Franklin County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas seeking a declaratory judgment permitting them to sell the shares of common stock
they received pursuant to the acquisition agreement. The parties have agreed to a stay pending the outcome of the Florida litigation.
On
April 29, 2019, the Company filed a securities fraud action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New Yor k against
Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Advanced Health Brands and TD Therapeutic, Inc. In the complaint the Company alleges
that in 2017, the defendants fraudulently and deceitfully obtained 1,250,000 shares of common stock by orchestrating a months-long scheme
to defraud the Company. The Company is seeking the return of the shares of common stock and monetary damages resulting from the defendants’
fraudulent conduct. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on August 23, 2019, and on September 13, 2019, the Company
filed its response. On July 20, 2020, the Court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and the parties have recently
commenced the discovery phase of the litigation. The Court has scheduled a trial date in June 2022.

Rambam
Agreement
On December 9, 2020, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the

Rambam the full technology, IP, and title to CTSD in the field, with an Initial license fee of $50,000 and running royalties on net sales.
The $50,000 license fee was paid by a third party at the direction of the Company in February 2021, at which time the agreement became
effective. As of January 31, 2022, the development of the RAMBAM CSTD Device has been suspended until further notice as preliminary reviews
and market research found the product was not commercially viable in its current form.
The
Company had entered into a prior agreement, dated November 13, 2020, with BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel (“BPM”), that, in
consideration of BPM’s introduction of Rambam to the Company, provided for BPM to have the rights as the exclusive of agent of
the Company with Rambam and any other parties similarly introduced by BPM, and for a commission payable to BPM by the Company of 4.5%
of revenues received by the Company resulting from the introduction of Rambam (and any other companies as to which the exclusive agency
of BPM was in effect), and for BPM’s payment of a royalty to Rambam. If the Company fails to commercialize the medical products
subject to the License Agreement with Rambam within 36 months, under the November 13, 2020 agreement, BPM and the Company would share
50/50 in the revenues generated from sales of the licensed products from Rambam. This agreement further provides that it will be effective
for a period of 10 years, with either party having the right to terminate on notice given 30 days prior to the desired termination, and
also provided for certain territorial distribution rights of BPM as are set forth in the March 10, 2021 Distribution Agreement between
the Company and BPM. As of January 31, 2022, no revenues have been earned and no royalties have been accrued.
