REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., formerly known as Nuvilex,
Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet of PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., formerly known as Nuvilex, Inc. (the Company) as of April 30, 2015, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and of cash flows for the year
ended April 30, 2015. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15a(2). PharmaCyte Biotech,
Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements and schedule. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., formerly known as Nuvilex,
Inc. as of April 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended April, 30, 2015, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects
the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the
standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc., formerly known as Nuvilex,
Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of April, 30, 2015, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated
July 28, 2015, expressed an adverse opinion.
As discussed in Notes 1A, 2, 3, 7, 9, 13, 14
and 15 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2015 and for the year then
ended have been restated to correct a misstatement.

is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and Subsidiaries as
of April 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, are in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Also, in our opinion, the financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects the information set forth herein.

NOTE 1A – RESTATEMENT AND REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY REPORTED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (including, where
appropriate, its subsidiaries, “Company”) restated its consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
April 30, 2015 to reflect adjustments made to correct the treatment of the issuance of certain shares of the Company’s
common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“common stock”), certain warrants and certain other matters, as further
described below, resulting in a material understatement to assets, a material overstatement to liabilities and a material understatement
to stockholders’ equity for the fourth quarter of the year ended April 30, 2015, as well as corrections to disclosures relating
to certain issuances of common stock and of options to purchase common stock to certain directors and officers of the Company.
The nature and impact of these adjustments are more particularly described below. See also Note 16, Quarterly Financial
Information (Unaudited), to the consolidated financial statements and schedule and the consolidated notes thereto (the “Restated
Financial Statements”), for the impact of these adjustments to the fourth quarter of the year ended April 30, 2015.
The adjustments described above relate
to the Company’s issuance of certain warrants to purchase common stock with a cashless exercise feature (“cashless
warrants”) in connection with its entry into a marketing and consulting agreement (“Consultant Agreement”) with
a consultant on March 23, 2015. The Company accounted for the cashless warrants as a derivative liability, as disclosed in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”)
on July 29, 2015 (the “Original Filing”). However, upon further analysis, the Company determined that the cashless
warrants should have been accounted for as equity in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States
of America (“U.S. GAAP”) in the Original Filing. Additionally, the Company determined that the Consultant Agreement,
issuance of shares of common stock to the consultant pursuant to the Consultant Agreement and the issuance of certain warrants
to purchase common stock with a cash exercise feature (“cash warrants”) and the cashless warrants should have been
recorded as a prepaid asset and amortized over the term of the Consultant Agreement in accordance with GAAP in the Original Filing.
In the Original Filing, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $492,049 on its consolidated balance sheets as of and for
the year ended April 30, 2015. As a result of the Company’s determination that the cashless warrants should be accounted
for as equity, and that the Consultant Agreement, cash warrants and cashless warrants should be accounted for as a prepaid asset,
the Company decreased general and administrative expenses by the amount of $434,754 on its consolidated statements of operations
for the year ended April 30, 2015, and increased prepaid assets by the amount of $1,349,024, net of amortization, and decreased
by the amount of $492,049 total current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2015, as set forth in the
Restated Financial Statements. As a result of these adjustments, the Company also recorded a decrease to its accumulated
deficit in the amount of $926,803, an increase to additional paid in capital in the amount of $914,270 and an increase to total
stockholders’ equity in the amount of $1,841,073.
As set forth in this Note 1A and Note 9
to the Restated Financial Statements, the Company accounted for the expense of the cashless warrants for the year ended April 30,
2015 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the exercise of significant judgment on the part of management
and estimates for the inputs used in the model. The following reflects the weighted-average assumptions used for purposes
of the model: risk-free interest rate of 1.41%; expected lives of the warrants of 5 years; expected volatility of 144%; no
expected dividend yield; and the number of warrants of 10,000,000.
The dividend yield assumption of zero is
based upon the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends. The
risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of the grant for instruments
with a similar expected life. The expected lives are based on the remaining contractual lives of the related cashless warrants
at the valuation date. The Company’s computation of expected volatility is based on the historical daily volatility
of its publicly traded common stock.
As set forth in the Restated Financial
Statements, the effect of the timing of the recognition of the cashless warrant expense and the reclassification of the Consultant
Agreement, cash warrants and cashless warrants to prepaid assets resulted in a decrease of $926,803 to reported net loss.
In addition, as set forth in the Restated Financial Statements, the correction to the treatment of the cashless warrant expense
also resulted in an increase in consolidated other income in the net amount of $492,049 and an initial increase to consolidated
general and administrative expenses of $914,270, reduced by the reclassification of $1,349,024 to prepaid expense, for a net reduction
to consolidated general and administrative expenses in the amount of $434,754 in the Company’s consolidated statements of
operations for the year ended for the year ended April 30, 2015.
As set forth in the Restated Financial
Statements, with respect to the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2015, the adjustments described
above resulted in a decrease in net loss of $926,803, an increase in stock based compensation for warrants in the amount of $914,270,
a reduction in loss on derivative liability in the amount of $492,049 and an increase in current assets (prepaid expenses) in the
amount of $1,349,024.
Further, the Company also restated two
disclosures in Note 7, Common Stock Transactions, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained in
the Original Filing, as set forth in restated Note 7 to the Restated Financial Statements. The first disclosure correction
relates to the issuance of options to directors and officers to purchase 25 million shares of common stock during the year ended
April 30, 2015. The disclosure was restated to reflect that the current period non-cash compensation expense was $3,629,731
rather than the $4,307,822 as reported in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended April 30, 2015 contained
in the Original Filing. The second disclosure correction relates to the issuance of 400,000 shares of common stock to two
officers of the Company as compensation during the year ended April 30, 2015 that was originally reported as an issuance of 600,000
shares. The disclosure was restated to reflect that the current period non-cash expense was $87,200 rather than $133,440 as reported
in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended April 30, 2015 contained in the Original Filing and to remove the
mention of the issuance of 2,400,000 shares of common stock issued to two officers that was included in a separate disclosure.
The impact of adjustments to the Company’s
consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, consolidated
statements of stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and consolidated statements of cash flows as of and for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2015 is as follows:

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
During 2013, the Company restructured
its operations in an effort to focus on biotechnology, having been primarily a nutraceutical products company in the recent past.
The restructuring resulted in the Company focusing all of its efforts upon the development of unique, effective and safe ways
to treat cancer and diabetes. On January 6, 2015, the Company changed its name from Nuvilex, Inc. to PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc.
to better reflect the nature of its business.
The Company is now a clinical stage biotechnology
company focused on developing and preparing to commercialize treatments for cancer and diabetes based upon a proprietary cellulose-based
live cell encapsulation technology known as “Cell-in-a-Box®”. This unique and patented technology will
be used as a platform upon which treatments for several types of cancer, including advanced, inoperable pancreatic cancer and its
symptoms, and diabetes are being developed.
On May 26, 2011, the Company entered into
an Asset Purchase Agreement (“SG Austria APA”) with SG Austria Private Limited (“SG Austria”) to purchase
100% of the assets and liabilities of SG Austria. As a result, Austrianova Singapore Private Limited ("Austrianova")
and Bio Blue Bird AG ("Bio Blue Bird"), wholly-owned subsidiaries of SG Austria, were to become wholly-owned subsidiaries
of the Company on the condition that the Company pay SG Austria $2.5 million and 100,000,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock and for the Company to receive 100,000 shares of Austrianova’s common stock and nine Bio Blue Bird bearer shares.
Through two addenda to the SG Austria APA,
the closing dates were extended. In June 2013, the Company and SG Austria entered into a Third Addendum to the SG Austria APA (“Third
Addendum”). Under the terms of the Third Addendum, the transaction contemplated by the SG Austria APA changed substantially.
The Third Addendum provided that the Company acquire 100% of the equity interests in Bio Blue Bird and receive a 14.5% equity interest
in SG Austria. In addition, the Company received nine bearer shares of Bio Blue Bird to evidence its 100% ownership. Under the
Third Addendum, the Company paid: (i) $500,000 to retire all outstanding debt of Bio Blue Bird; and (ii) $1.0 million to SG Austria.
The Company also paid SG Austria $1,572,193 in exchange for its 14.5% equity interest. The Third Addendum returned the original
100,000,000 shares of common stock held by SG Austria to the Company treasury, and the 100,000 Austrianova shares of common stock
held by the Company were returned to SG Austria.
The acquisition of Bio Blue Bird provided
the Company with exclusive, worldwide licenses to use a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology for the
development of treatments for all forms of cancer using certain types of human cells. The licenses are pursuant to patents licensed
from Bavarian Nordic A/S and GSF-Forschungszentrum fur Umwelt u. Gesundheit GmbH. These licenses enable the Company to carry out
the research and development of cancer treatments that are based upon the “Cell-in-a-Box® technology.”
In June 2013, the Company acquired from
Austrianova the exclusive, worldwide license to use the cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology for the development
of a treatment for diabetes and the use of Austrianova’s “Cell-In-A-Box®” trademark for this technology
(“Diabetes Licensing Agreement”). The Company made its first $1,000,000 payment to secure its exclusive, worldwide
license to use the encapsulation technology for the treatment of diabetes on October 30, 2013. The second and final payment of
$1,000,000 was made on February 25, 2014, thereby fulfilling all financial obligations required to be met by the Company under
its licensing agreement with Austrianova.
In October 2014, the Company acquired from
the University of Technology Sydney (“UTS”) the exclusive license world-wide to use genetically modified cells (“Melligen
Cells”) that have been modified to produce, store and then release insulin “on demand” in developing a treatment
for insulin-dependent diabetes. In addition, the Company obtained the non-exclusive worldwide rights to “know-how”
associated with the Melligen cells. The Company intends to use the Melligen cells, after they have been encapsulated using its
Cell-in-a-Box® technology, as a treatment for insulin-dependent diabetes.
In December 2014, the Company acquired
from Austrianova the exclusive, worldwide license to use the Cell-in-a-Box® technology in combination with compounds
from constituents of Cannabis for development of disease treatments and the use of Austrianova’s “Cell-in-a-Box®”
trademark for this technology (“Cannabis Licensing Agreement”). As of April 30, 2015, the Company paid Austrianova
$1.0 million of a $2.0 million “Upfront Payment” required by the Company to be made for this license. As of the date
of this Report, the Company has paid $1.3 million of the Upfront Payment. The parties have agreed in principle to an amendment
to the license agreement pursuant to which the balance of the Upfront Payment will be due by December 31, 2015. That amendment
is in the process of being documented.
NOTE 2 – CAPITALIZATION AND MANAGEMENT PLANS (AS RESTATED)
Capitalization
The Company's consolidated financial statements
are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities
in the normal course of business. As of April 30, 2015, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $78,627,833 and incurred a net
loss for year ended April 30, 2015 of $9,927,706.
Over the past year, funding was provided by
investors to maintain and expand the Company. The remaining challenges, beyond the regulatory and clinical aspects, include accessing
funding for the Company to cover its future cash flow needs. The Company continues to acquire funds through the Company’s
S-3 Registration Statement pursuant to which its exclusive placement agent, Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”
sells shares of common stock “at-the-market” which is structured to provide up to $50 million dollars to the Company
less certain commissions.
The Company requires substantial additional
capital to finance its planned business operations and expects to incur operating losses in future periods due to the expenses
related to the Company’s core businesses. The Company has not realized material revenue since it commenced doing business
in the biotechnology sector, and it is not without doubt that it will be successful in generating revenues in the future in this
sector. The Company believes that cash as of April 30, 2015 and the proceeds from the additional sale of registered shares will
raise sufficient capital to meet its capital requirements. From May 1, 2015 through July 13, 2015; the Company raised additional
capital of approximately $1,220,000 in “at-the-market” transactions. The Company believes that the “at-the-market”
sale of its shares will provide sufficient capital to fund its operations through July 31, 2016.
If the Company is not able to raise substantial
additional capital in a timely manner, the Company may not be able to complete its required clinical trials and may be forced to
cease operations.
The Company will continue to be dependent
on outside capital to fund its research and operating expenditures for the foreseeable future. If the Company fails to generate
positive cash flows or fails to obtain additional capital when required, the Company may need to modify, delay or abandon some
or all of its business plans.
Management Goals and Strategy
The Company’s goal is to have the
Company become an industry-leading biotechnology company using the Cell-in-a-Box® live cell encapsulation technology
as a platform upon which treatments for cancer and diabetes can be built.
The Company’s initial strategy is
to build upon and advance the success of previous Phase 1/2 and Phase 2 pancreatic cancer clinical trials. The Company’s
acquisition of Bio Blue Bird was the first step in this strategy.
The Company will seek to raise capital
to fund growth opportunities and provide for its working capital needs as its strategy is executed. The Company’s strategy
to achieve its goals consists of the following:
| · | The completion of the preparations for the Phase 2b clinical trial in advanced, inoperable pancreatic
cancer to be conducted by CNS in Australia; |
| · | The completion of the preparations for the clinical trials that will examine the effectiveness
of its pancreatic cancer treatment in ameliorating the pain and accumulation of malignant ascites fluid in the abdomen that are
characteristic of pancreatic cancer. These clinical trials will be conducted by TD2 in the United States; |
| · | The completion of preclinical studies that involve the encapsulation of a human cell line genetically
engineered to produce, store and secrete insulin on demand at levels in proportion to the levels of blood sugar in the human body.
The encapsulation will be done using the Cell-in-a-Box® technology; |
| · | The enhancement of the Company’s ability to expand into the biotechnology arena through further
research and partnering agreements; |
| · | The acquisition of new contracts that generate revenue or provide research and development capital
utilizing our sublicensing rights; |
| · | The further development of uses of the Cell-in-a-Box® technology platform through
contracts, licensing agreements and joint ventures with other companies; and |
| · | The completion of testing, expansion and marketing of existing and newly derived product candidates. |
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (AS RESTATED)
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company operates independently and through four wholly-owned
subsidiaries: (i) Bio Blue Bird AG (“Bio Blue Bird”); (ii) Nuvilex Europe Limited (soon to be renamed PharmaCyte Biotech
Europe Limited); (iii) Nuvilex Australia Limited (soon to be renamed PharmaCyte Biotech Australia Private Limited); and (iv) Viridis
Biotech, Inc. (“Viridis Biotech”) and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”). Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. The Company’s
14.5 % investment in SG Austria is presented on the cost method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are
inherent in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual
results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s
consolidated financial position and results of operations.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company records the excess of purchase
price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired as goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles. The Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standard on goodwill and other intangible assets prescribes a two-step process for
impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering
impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment.
The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis at the end of its reporting year.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future
cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than carrying value, a write-down would
be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. No impairment was identified or recorded during the years
ended April 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed
by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period
increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive
securities had been issued. During April 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred losses; therefore the effect of any common
stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during these periods.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
For certain of the Company’s non-derivative
financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to
the short-term maturities of these instruments.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")
Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments
held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation
hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying
amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments
and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments
and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as
follows:
|
· |
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
|
· |
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
|
· |
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The Company adopted ASC subtopic 820-10,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial
Instruments ("ASC 825-10"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows. The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair
value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Derivative Instruments
The Company issued cashless warrants that
are accounted for as a derivative instruments which prevents them from being considered indexed to the Company’s common stock
and qualified for an exception to derivative accounting.
The Company recognized the derivative instruments
as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The Company records changes in the
fair value (i.e. gains or losses) of the derivatives in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Sales of products and related costs of
products sold are recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price
is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon the prepayment or
invoicing and shipment of products.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are calculated using the
liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit
carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences
between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will
not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date
of enactment.
A valuation allowance is provided for deferred
income tax assets when, in management’s judgment, based upon currently available information and other factors, it is more
likely than not that all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for
a valuation allowance is based on an on-going evaluation of current information including, among other things, historical operating
results, estimates of future earnings in different taxing jurisdictions and the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences.
The Company believes the determination to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred income tax asset is a significant accounting
estimate because it is based, among other things, on an estimate of future taxable income in the United States and certain other
jurisdictions, which is susceptible to change and may or may not occur, and because the impact of adjusting a valuation allowance
may be material. In determining when to release the valuation allowance established against our net deferred income tax assets,
the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative. Consistent with the Company’s policy, and because
of the Company’s history of operating losses, the Company does not currently recognize the benefit of all of our deferred
tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, that may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company continually assesses
its ability to generate sufficient taxable income during future periods in which deferred tax assets may be realized. If and when
the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will recover its deferred tax assets, the Company will reverse the valuation
allowance as an income tax benefit in the statements of operations.
The Company accounts for its uncertain
tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The purpose of this method is to clarify accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized.
The U.S. GAAP method of accounting for uncertain tax positions utilizes a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions. Step one,
recognition, requires evaluation of the tax position to determine if based solely on technical merits it is more likely than not
to be sustained upon examination. Step two, measurement, is addressed only if a position is more likely than not to be sustained.
In step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which
is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities. If a position does not meet the more likely
than not threshold for recognition in step one, no benefit is recorded until the first subsequent period in which the more likely
than not standard is met, the issue is resolved with the taxing authority or the statute of limitations expires. Positions previously
recognized are derecognized when the Company subsequently determines the position no longer is more likely than not to be sustained.
Evaluation of tax positions, their technical merits and measurements using cumulative probability are highly subjective management
estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist
of costs incurred for direct and overhead-related research expenses and are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire technologies,
including licenses, that are utilized in research and development and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred.
Technology developed for use in our product candidates is expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established.
Under the Cannabis Licensing Agreement, the
Company acquired from Austrianova an exclusive, world-wide license to use the Cell-in-a-Box® trademark and its
associated technology with genetically modified non-stem cell lines which are designed to activate cannabinoids to develop therapies
involving Cannabis.
Under the Cannabis Licensing Agreement, the
Company is required to pay Austrianova an Upfront Payment of $2,000,000. The Company has the right to make periodic monthly partial
payments of the Upfront Payment in amounts to be agreed upon between the parties prior to each such payment being made. Under
the Cannabis Licensing Agreement, the Upfront Payments must be paid in full by no later than June 30, 2015. As of April 30, 2015,
the Company has paid Austrianova $1 million of the Upfront Payment. The parties have agreed to an amendment to the Cannabis Licensing
Agreement pursuant to which the balance of the Upfront Payment will be due by December 31, 2015. That amendment is in the process
of being documented. The $2 million cost of the license has been recorded as research and development costs.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based employee
compensation awards are described in Note 9. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 718, which requires the fair value measurement
and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to directors, executives and employees.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations
of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains
most of its cash balance at a financial institution located in California. Accounts at this institution are insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances aggregated approximately $2,450,000 at April 30, 2015. The Company
has not experienced any losses in such accounts, and management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the financial statements
of its foreign subsidiary from the local (functional) currencies to US dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, Foreign Currency
Matters. All assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates,
while revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Adjustments for foreign currency
translation fluctuations are excluded from net income and are included in other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on short-term
intercompany foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified
to conform to the 2015 presentation, with no changes in net loss for prior periods presented.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09
"Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements
in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition”, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout
the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments create a new Subtopic 340-40, “Other Assets
and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers”. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes
revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which
the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period;
early application is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated
financial position and consolidated statement of operations.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12,
"Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)," which makes amendments to the codification topic 718, "Accounting
for Share-Based Payments," when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite
service period. The new guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015; early adoption
is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position and
results of operations.
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, “Presentation of
Financial Statements – Going Concern”, Subtopic 205-40, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s
Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities and require management
to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that
are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments: (i) provide a definition of the term substantial
doubt; (ii) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods; (iii) provide principles for considering
the mitigating effect of management’s plans; (iv) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a
result of consideration of management’s plans; (v) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial
doubt is not alleviated; and (vi) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements
are issued or available to be issued. The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December
15, 2016. For annual periods and interim periods thereafter; early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 4 – BUSINESS ACQUISITION
Effective as of June 25, 2013, the Company
completed the purchase of Bio Blue Bird. Shares for both Austrianova and the Company originally held in escrow under the
SG Austria APA were returned to the original owners. The 100,000,000 shares of the Company were cancelled. The acquisition
was accounted for under ASC Topic 805, “Business Combination.” Accordingly, the assets and liabilities were
fair valued and purchase accounting applied.
The assets of Bio Blue Bird are licenses
related to the Cell-in-a-Box® technology with a fair value of $1,549,427. The assets acquired were accounted for
at the fair value at the acquisition date based on current information that management believes is reasonable. After the acquisition,
Bio Blue Bird became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Since the Company’s acquisition of
Bio Blue Bird, no revenues have been generated from the licenses; therefore, no pro-forma information has been prepared. The licenses
will be used in the development of the Company’s product candidate in advanced pancreatic cancer.

NOTE 8 – PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has one authorized series of preferred stock designated
as "Series E Preferred Stock." The Series E Preferred Stock has the following features:
|
Ÿ |
Series E Preferred Stock does not bear any dividends; |
|
Ÿ |
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to receive its share of assets distributable upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The holders of the Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash out of the assets of the Company before any amount is paid to the holders of any capital stock of the Company of any class junior in rank to the shares of Series E Preferred Stock; |
|
Ÿ |
Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, at the holder’s option, into shares of common stock, at the average closing bid price of the common stock for five trading days prior to the conversion date; and |
|
Ÿ |
At every meeting of stockholders, every holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock is entitled to 50,000 votes for each share of Series E Preferred Stock, with the same and identical voting rights as a holder of a share of common stock. |
During the year ended April 30, 2014, a
shareholder converted 8,500 shares of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock (consisting of all outstanding shares of Series
E Preferred Stock) into 54,000,000 shares of common stock. These shares were valued using the closing share price of the common
stock on the day of issuance for a total of $6,475,000 resulting in a loss on conversion of $5,895,000. There are no shares of
Series E Preferred Stock currently outstanding.
Holders of Series E Preferred Stock have
specific rights to be paid in cash out of the assets of the Company prior to any junior class of common stock. As a result of the
obligations for Series E Preferred Stock, the Company has determined these redemption features have the potential to be outside
the control of the Company and, therefore, the Company has classified the Series E Preferred Stock outside of shareholders equity
in accordance with ASC 480 regarding instruments with debt and equity features. Thus, the full value for the convertible Series
E Preferred Stock was recorded outside of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 9 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (AS RESTATED)
Stock Options
The Company granted stock options to its
directors, officers and an employee during the year ended April 30, 2015, based on compensation and director agreements.
The Company has adopted the provisions
of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for
all stock-based awards made to employees.
The fair value of the stock options at
the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, based on the following assumptions:
| |
April 30, | |
| |
2015 | | |
2014 | | |
2013 | |
Risk-free interest rate | |
| 2 | % | |
| – | | |
| – | |
Expected volatility | |
| 145 | % | |
| – | | |
| – | |
Expected lives (years) | |
| 2.7 | | |
| – | | |
| – | |
Expected dividend yield | |
| 0.00 | % | |
| 0.00 | % | |
| 0.00 | % |
The Company’s computation of expected
volatility is based on the historical daily volatility of its publicly traded stock. For stock option grants issued during years
ended April 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company used a calculated volatility for each grant. The Company lacks adequate information
about the exercise behavior at this time and has determined the expected term assumption under the simplified method provided for
under ASC 718, which averages the contractual term of the Company’s stock options of five years with the average vesting
term of two and one half years for an average of three years. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact the
Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used
for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with a similar expected life.
Based on historical experience, for the year ended April 30, 2015, the Company has estimated an annualized forfeiture rate of 5%
for stock options granted to its employees, 5% for stock options granted to officers and 5% for stock options granted to directors.
Compensation costs will be adjusted for future changes in estimated forfeitures. The Company will record additional expense if
the actual forfeitures are lower than estimated and will record a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rates are
higher than estimated. No amounts relating to employee stock-based compensation have been capitalized.
At April 30, 2015, there remained approximately
$533,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options granted to current and former employees and directors,
to be recognized as expense over a weighted-average period of one year.
Presented below is the Company’s
stock option activity for employees and directors:
The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during
the years ended April 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 are $0.10, $0.00 and $0.00, respectively.
A summary of the activity for unvested
employee stock options during the three years ended April 30, 2015 is presented below:

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding
options as of April 30, 2015 was approximately $1,360,000. This represents options whose exercise price was less than the closing
fair market value of the Company’s common stock on April 30, 2015 of $0.16 per share.
Warrants (As Restated)
The Company issued certain warrants to
purchase common stock with a cashless exercise feature (“cashless warrants”) in connection with its entry into a marketing
and consulting agreement (“Consultant Agreement”) with a consultant on March 23, 2015. The Company accounted
for the cashless warrants as a derivative liability, as disclosed in the Original Filing. However, upon further analysis, the Company
determined that the cashless warrants should have been accounted for as equity in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the Original Filing. Additionally,
the Company determined that the Consultant Agreement, issuance of shares of common stock to the consultant pursuant to the Consultant
Agreement and the issuance of certain warrants to purchase common stock with a cash exercise feature (“cash warrants”)
and the cashless warrants to the consultant should have been recorded as a prepaid asset and amortized over the term of the Consultant
Agreement in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the Original Filing.
The warrants issued by the Company are
classified as equity. The fair value of the warrants was recorded as additional-paid-in-capital, and no further adjustments are
made.
On January 21, 2014, the Company began
the implementation of its “Warrant Conversion Program”. The program consists of offering every holder of Class A warrants
the ability to exercise their Class A warrants, with an exercise price of $0.075 per share, into shares of common stock and an
equal number of new Class D warrants, with an exercise price of $0.25 per warrant share. As of April 30, 2015, 18,755,200
Class A warrants were converted for total cash proceeds of $1,380,720 and conversion of $25,920 of debt to an officer. The Company
has also begun to offer holders of its Class B warrants, with a conversion price of $0.12 per share, with the same terms. As of
April 30, 2015, 2,318,000 Class B warrants were exercised for total cash proceeds of $278,160. An aggregate of 18,755,200 Class
D Warrants have been issued in connection with this program.
On September 1, 2014 the Company granted
854,308 Class D Warrants to purchase common stock as part of the Warrant Conversion Program. This resulted in an expense of $100,000
under a consulting agreement to facilitate the Warrant Conversion Program. This expense is included in general and administrative
expense.
On March 23, 2015, the Company granted 5,000,000
warrants to purchase common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share, which expire on December 31, 2015.
On March 23, 2015, the Company granted 10,000,000
cashless warrants to acquire stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share, which expire on March 23, 2020.
For stock warrants paid in consideration
of services rendered by non-employees, the Company recognizes consulting expense in accordance with the requirements of ASC 505-50
and ASC 505, as amended.

NOTE 10 – LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not currently a party to
any pending legal proceedings, material or otherwise. There are no legal proceedings to which any property of the Company is subject.
However, in the past the Company has been the subject of litigation, claims and assessments arising out of matters occurring in
its normal business operations. In the opinion of management, none of these had a material adverse effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial position, operations and cash flows.
A summary of past litigation and claims
which have been resolved follows:
The Settlement Agreement with Cornerstone
Bank, entered into on or about May 7, 2012, concluded a prior material legal proceeding. The settlement with Cornerstone Bank was
fully satisfied with cash proceeds of $702,061 received by Cornerstone Bank through the sale of 6,374,977 of the 14,605,614 total
shares of stock collateral that was held by them. Collateral held by Cornerstone in the form of 8,230,637 shares of common stock
was returned to the Company. These shares were transferred to a third party as compensation for professional fees to be provided.
The shares were valued at the closing price of the stock on the date of the final settlement agreement for total non-cash expense
of $1,160,520. All obligations to Cornerstone have been satisfied. As a result of writing off the liability due to Cornerstone
totaling $2,341,106 and the building asset and the accumulated depreciation totaling $1,028,778, the Company recognized a gain
on settlement of debt of $1,312,328.
During the period January 1, 2012 through
March 31, 2013, Pauline M. Muggli (“Muggli”), doing business as Internet Pro Designs, and Ron Simper (“Simper”)
provided information technology consulting services (“IT Services”) to the Company. Muggli submitted invoices to the
Company for IT Services allegedly performed at the request of the Company in excess of $60,000 (“IT Invoices”). The
Company disputed the IT Services and the amount of the IT Invoices. Effective October 23, 2013, the Company, Muggli and Simper
entered into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company paid Muggli $3,000 in cash and issued 141,667 shares of common
stock in exchange for a release of all claim that either Muggli or Simper have against the Company. The Company provided a similar
release of all claims against Muggli and Simper. The settlement has been fully implemented. The cash consideration has been paid
and the shares of common stock have been issued to Muggli and the mutual general releases are in effect.
Freedom-2, Inc. and The General Hospital
Corporation (“General Hospital”) are parties to a Master Agreement dated October 1, 1999 and associated License Agreement
(collectively, “MGH Agreements”). Since entering into the MGH Agreements, Freedom-2 became a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. General Hospital claimed that Freedom-2 owed General Hospital $69,095 under the MGH Agreements (“Debt”).
The Company and Freedom-2, Inc. denied liability for the Debt, but elected to resolve the dispute without becoming involved in
time consuming and costly litigation. Effective November 1, 2013, a settlement agreement was entered into between General Hospital,
the Company and Freedom-2, Inc., pursuant to which all of the Company’s rights to five patents related to permanent, removable
tissue markings were transferred to General Hospital. In exchange, General Hospital provided a general release of all claims, including
the Debt. The Company provided General Hospital a general release of all claims. The settlement has been consummated and the mutual
general releases are in effect.
The Company’s wholly
owned subsidiary Freedom-2, Inc. and Brown University are parties to an Intellectual Property License Agreement dated May 16,
2009. Brown University asserted a claim against the Company and Freedom-2, Inc. for $400,000 under the Property License
Agreement. Although the Company and Freedom-2, Inc. denied liability, they nevertheless wanted to resolve the dispute without
becoming embroiled in time consuming and costly litigation. Effective December 9, 2013 a settlement agreement was entered
into between Brown University, the Company and Freedom-2, Inc. pursuant to which the parties released each other for all
claims relating to the Property License Agreement. In addition, the Company agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of common stock
to Brown University to consummate the settlement. The shares were valued at $0.11 per share. The shares of common stock have
been issued and the settlement has been concluded.

Consulting Agreement
We have engaged ViruSure, a professional
cell growing and adventitious agent testing company that has had extensive experience with the CYP2B1-expressing cells that will
be needed for our pancreatic cancer treatment. We did so in order to recover them from frozen stocks of similar cells and regenerate
new stocks for use by us in our preclinical studies and clinical trials. ViruSure is in the process of cloning new cells from
a selected clone. Those clones will be grown to populate a MCB and WCB for our future clinical trials. There are approximately
$195,000 in future milestone payments relating to testing to be completed.
Compensation Agreements
The Company entered into executive compensation
agreements with its two executive officers and an employment agreement with one of its employees in March 2015. Each agreement

NOTE 13 - INCOME TAXES (AS RESTATED)
At April 30, 2015, the Company had federal
and state net operating loss carryforwards of $33,257,000 and $33,257,000, respectively, available to offset against future taxable
income, which expire in 2019 through 2033.
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss
available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available
to offset future taxable income may be limited. Based on the assessment of all available evidence including, but not limited to,
the Company’s limited operating history in its core business and lack of profitability, uncertainties of the commercial
viability of its technology, the impact of government regulations and healthcare reform initiatives and other risks normally associated
with biotechnology companies, the Company has concluded that is more likely than not that these operating loss carryforwards will
not be realized. As a result, 100% of the deferred tax valuation allowance has been recorded against these assets.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect
of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and income tax carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities. The components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, both current and long-term,
are as follows:

There have been no changes to the Company’s
liability for unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended April 30, 2015.

U.S. Federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. As of the year ended April 30, 2015, the tax returns for 2009 through
2014 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state tax authorities.
The Company’s policy is to recognize

NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE (AS RESTATED)
Basic earnings per share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding for a period. Diluted earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number
of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potential common shares outstanding principally include stock options,
under our stock plan and warrants. During April 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred losses. Accordingly, the effect of
any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during those periods and are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted
average number of shares outstanding.
