CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of
Applied Biosciences Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some
cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology
such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expects”, “plans”,
“intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”,
“potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other
comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, statements about our market opportunity, our
strategies, competition, expected activities and expenditures as we
pursue our business plan, and the adequacy of our available cash
resources. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in
the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee
future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Actual results may differ materially from the predictions discussed
in these forward-looking statements. The economic environment
within which we operate could materially affect our actual results.
Additional factors that could materially affect these
forward-looking statements and/or predictions include, among other
things: the possibility that we will not receive sufficient
customers to grow our business, the Company’s need for and ability
to obtain additional financing, other factors over which we have
little or no control; and other factors discussed in the Company’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our management has included projections and
estimates in this Form 10-Q, which are based primarily on
management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results
of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and
a review of information filed by our competitors with the SEC or
otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue
reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only
as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to
revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the
occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Effective October 24, 2016 the Company
changed its name from First Fixtures Inc. to Stony Hill Corp. and
on March 6, 2018, the Company changed its name from Stony Hill
Corp. to Applied BioSciences Corp.
In January 2019, the Company closed on a
purchase of 520,410 shares of common stock of Trace Analytics,
Inc., a Washington corporation (“Trace Analytics”), for an
aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000, of which $750,000 was paid
in cash and $500,000 was paid in shares of common stock of the
Company. Trace Analytics is a cannabis testing laboratory.
Immediately following the purchase, the Company held 51% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Trace Analytics
and have included the financial results of Trace Analytics in the
condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition, January 1, 2019.
On April 8, 2019, the Company formed Applied
Biopharma LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, in the state of Nevada,
with the intention of establishing and growing the
biopharmaceutical business of the Company. Applied Biopharma LLC is
focused on the development and commercialization of novel
therapeutics to treat metabolic diseases, peripheral neuropathy,
progressive lung disease and ischemic reperfusion injury. Its
principal business objective is to develop science-driven synthetic
cannabinoid therapeutics that satisfy unmet medical needs and
continue to drive innovation in the endocannabinoid space.
Basis of presentation – Unaudited Financial
Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements do not include all information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair
presentation. Interim operating results are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2020, or for any other interim period. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements
as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019, which are included in
the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for such year filed on July 1,
2019.
Going concern
These condensed statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for
the foreseeable future. As reflected in the condensed consolidated
financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,789,028
and used $817,715 of cash in operating activities during the nine
months ended December 31, 2019. Further, the Company’s independent
auditor in their audit report for fiscal year ended March 31, 2019
expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. These and other factors raise substantial doubt
about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within
one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be
necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going
concern.
APPLIED BIOSCIENCES CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2019 AND 2018
(unaudited)
The Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital
and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from
operations. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the
Company issued convertible notes for total proceeds of $791,939 in
private placements with accredited investors. However, the Company
will need and is currently working on obtaining additional funds to
operate its business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-Q
filing. There is no assurance that such funds will be available or
at terms acceptable to the Company. Even if the Company is able to
obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and
covenants on its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause
substantial dilution for its stockholders in the case of
convertible debt and equity financing.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries, Applied Products LLC (100% owned entity), VitaCBD
LLC, an 80% owned entity, Trace Analytics, Inc., a 51% owned
entity, all Washington limited liability companies, and Applied
Biopharma LLC and SHL Management LLC, both 100% owned Nevada
limited liability companies. Intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated in consolidation. Management evaluates its
investments on an individual basis for purposes of determining
whether or not consolidation is appropriate.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the period. Among other things,
management estimates include the collectability of its accounts
receivable, recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in
determining impairment of investments and intangible assets,
accruals for potential liabilities, and realization of deferred tax
assets. These estimates generally involve complex issues and
require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and
the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from
period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from
these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is principally derived
from its subsidiaries, Applied Products LLC, and Trace
Analytics.
|
·
|
Applied Products LLC revenues are generated from
sales of high-quality CBD products for consumer and pet health and
wellness. Sales of these products are made to individual
distributors and through online sales. Revenue from the sale of
these products was $192,011 and $472,509 during the nine months
ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively |
|
|
|
|
·
|
Trace Analytics generates revenue from services by
offering state-of-the-art testing and analytics capabilities to CBD
and hemp companies. Sales of these services are to marijuana
producers and processors, dispensaries, and CBD and hemp companies.
Revenue from the sale of these services was $433,295 during the
nine months ended December 31, 2019. |
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”). The underlying
principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer
of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be
collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities
to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which
includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a
customer, (2) identifying the Company’s performance obligations in
the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price,
(4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance
obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance
obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step
model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will
collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the
services it transfers to its clients.

Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as
incurred. Advertising expense for the nine month periods ended
December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $37,144 and $40,769,
respectively, and were included in “Sales and marketing expenses”
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share is
calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to
common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
during the period. Shares of common stock to be issued are included
in weighted average shares calculation from the date of grant. The
diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the
Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the
diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding
is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any
potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per
share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the
lack of dilutive items.
Investments
The Company follows ASU 2016-01, Financial
Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects
equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value
option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for
financial instruments. Among other things, this guidance requires
certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with
changes in fair value recognized in net income. As such, the
Company measures its equity investments at their fair value at end
of each reporting period.
Investments accounted for under the equity
method or cost method of accounting above are included in the
caption “Equity investments” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the
purchase consideration over the fair value of the net tangible and
identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination.
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or
whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the
carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its
annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal
year. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level
by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including
goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Estimations and
assumptions regarding the number of reporting units, future
performances, results of the Company’s operations and comparability
of its market capitalization and net book value will be used. If
the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value,
goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is measured
by the resulting amount. Because the Company has one reporting
unit, as part of the Company’s qualitative assessment an
entity-wide approach to assess goodwill for impairment is utilized.
Based on management’s assessment, no impairment losses have been
recorded in the nine month periods ended December 31, 2019.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company issues stock options and
warrants, shares of common stock, and equity interests as
share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. The
Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in
accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.
Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based
on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as
expense over the requisite service period.
APPLIED BIOSCIENCES CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2019 AND 2018
(unaudited)
In prior periods up to March 31, 2019, the
Company accounted for share-based compensation issued to
non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of
FASB ASC 505-50, Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.
Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees
is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably
measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity
instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment
transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For
interim periods, the fair value is estimated, and the percentage of
completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative
expense recorded.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No.
2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):
Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The
guidance was issued to simplify the accounting for share-based
transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 from only being
applicable to share-based payments to employees to also include
share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services
from nonemployees. As a result, nonemployee share-based
transactions will be measured by estimating the fair value of the
equity instruments at the grant date, taking into consideration the
probability of satisfying performance conditions. The Company
adopted ASU 2018-07 on April 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard
did not have a material impact on our financial statements for the
three and nine months periods ended December 31, 2019 or the
previously reported financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial
instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or
contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For
derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as
liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its
fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with
changes in the fair value reported in the condensed consolidated
statements of operations. The classification of derivative
instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded
as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each
reporting period. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified
in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or
not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be
required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
To determine the number of authorized but
unissued shares available to satisfy outstanding convertible
securities, the Company uses a sequencing method to prioritize its
convertible securities as prescribed by ASC 815-40-35. At each
reporting date, the Company reviews its convertible securities to
determine their classification is appropriate.
Leases
Prior to April 1, 2019, the Company
accounted for leases under ASC 840, Accounting for Leases.
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC
842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a
right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases.
The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective
approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has
not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of
adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under
the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The adoption
of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease
right-of-use assets of $372,490 on October 1, 2019 upon
commencement of the new leases of the Company. There was no
cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit. See Note 9 for
further information regarding the adoption of ASC 842.
Segments
The Company operates in one segment for the
distribution of products and services. In accordance with the
“Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating
decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer,
who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating
resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.
Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to
segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected
segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide
disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the
countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports
revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under
“Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and
similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and
services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution
processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial
information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326),
which replaces the incurred-loss impairment methodology and
requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected
to occur for most financial assets, including trade receivables.
Credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized
losses will be recognized as allowances for credit losses limited
to the amount by which fair value is below amortized cost. ASU
2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020 and
early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the
potential impact of the new guidance and related codification
improvements will be material to its financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
Other recent accounting pronouncements
issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the
Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by
management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or
future consolidated financial statements.

As a private company, GemmaCert does not
have a readily determinable fair value. Additionally, there have
been no observable price changes from transactions for similar
investments in GemmaCert during the nine months ended December 31,
2019. As such, the Company valued the investment at $2.536 per
share, reflecting the most recent purchase price for total value of
$93,529, which is believed to approximate market value.
(B) In January 2017, the Company entered
into an agreement to purchase 59,524 shares of Class A common stock
at a price of $4.20 per share for total investment of $250,000,
which accounts for less than 5% investment in Hightimes Holdings
Corp. (“Hightimes”). Hightimes owns High Times Magazine and hosts
festivals, events and competitions including the High Times
Cannabis Cup and multiple e-commerce properties, including
HighTimes.com, CannabisCup.com and 420.com.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company was able to obtain observable
evidence that the investment had a market value of $11.00 per
share, or an aggregate value of $654,763. As of December 31, 2019,
the Company obtained further observable evidence that the
investment had a market value of $5.50 per share, or an aggregate
value of $327,382 for a decrease in value of $327,381, which was
reflected as a change in fair value of our equity
investments in the condensed consolidated statements of
operations.
(C) In June 2017, the Company entered in a
Subscription Agreement to purchase 0.5% interest in Precision
Cultivation Systems, LLC (“Precision”), a Delaware limited
liability company, for a purchase price of $50,000. Precision is
developing a growth system that capitalizes on a patent-pending
cultivation method that utilizes proprietary irrigation and root
zone conditioning. As part of the Subscription Agreement, $42,500
of the investment is subject to repayment on a pro-rata basis with
other investors who have entered into similar Subscription
Agreements. Amounts subject to repayment are solely at the
discretion of Precision.
As a private company, Precision does not
have a readily determinable fair value. Additionally, there have
been no observable price changes from transactions for similar
investments in Precision during the nine months ended December 31,
2019. As such, the Company has measured the value of the investment
at cost as of December 31, 2019, which management believes
approximates market value.
(D) In January 2018, the Company paid
$100,000 for the purchase of a Membership Interest in Bailey
Venture Partners XII LLC (“Bailey”) representing less than 5%
interest in Bailey. Along with other funds received from
third-party investors, Bailey plans to invest funds received in
various strategic investments.
As a private company, Bailey does not have a
readily determinable fair value. Additionally, there have been no
observable price changes from transactions for similar investments
in Bailey during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. As such, the
Company has measured the value of the investment at cost as of
December 31, 2019, which management believes approximates market
value.
As the Company does not participate in the
management of these companies nor has the ability to exercise
significant influence over these companies, the Company recorded
these investments at cost and adjusts the cost basis to market at
the end of each reporting period. Dividends, if any, are recognized
when received.
NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF TRACE ANALYTICS,
INC.
On January 7, 2019, the Company closed on a
purchase of 520,410 shares of common stock of Trace Analytics,
Inc., a Washington corporation (“Trace Analytics”). Pursuant to a
Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased Trace
Analytics at a purchase price of $2.40 per share, for an aggregate
purchase price of $1,250,000, of which 141,850 shares remain to be
issued. Trace Analytics is a cannabis testing laboratory acquired
to enable the Company to position itself as the leading provider of
testing solutions for CBD products for both compliance requirements
and consumer safety as these products continue to increase in
popularity. Immediately following the purchase, the Company held
51% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Trace
Analytics and have included the financial results of Trace
Analytics in the condensed consolidated financial statements from
the date of acquisition, January 1, 2019.

The Common Stock Purchase Agreement included
the option for Trace to repurchase 205,410 shares of Common Stock
based on the occurrence of certain Repurchase Triggering Events.
Based on a review of the Repurchase Triggering Events, the Company
considers it unlikely that any of the events will occur.
Additionally, the Company entered into a Voting Agreement with
Trace concurrent with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The
Voting Agreement provided for the designation of three out of five
positions on the Trace Analytics Board of Directors by the Company.
The Voting Agreement also detailed certain transactions that
require two-thirds approval by the Board of Directors. The Voting
Agreement is not considered to impact the ability of the Company to
control the operations and assets of Trace Analytics.
The Company accounted for the transaction as
a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business
Combinations” in which the Company recorded an initial goodwill
amount of $1,941,149 as of March 31, 2019. The Company is in the
process of performing an allocation of the purchase price paid for
the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The fair values of
the assets acquired as recognized at the date of the transaction on
January 1, 2019 are considered provisional and subject to
adjustment as additional information is obtained through the
purchase price measurement period (a period of up to one year from
the closing date). The provisional allocation of the purchase price
is based on management’s preliminary estimates. Any prospective
adjustments would change the fair value allocation as of the
acquisition date. The Company is still in the process of reviewing
underlying models, assumptions and discount rates used in the
valuation of provisional goodwill.

Convertible Notes
During the nine months ended December 31,
2019, the Company issued separate Convertible Promissory Notes
(“Notes”) having a total principal amount of $349,939 to accredited
holders at an interest rates ranging from 0% to 1% per month. The
note holder, at their sole discretion and election, are allowed to
convert any part or all of the then outstanding principal and/or
interest on these Notes into shares of common stock of the Company
at conversion prices ranging from $0.65 to $1.00 per share. As of
December 31, 2019, $100,000 of the Notes were converted, into
153,846 shares of the Company’s common stock based on a conversion
price of $0.65 per share. As such, balance of the notes at December
31, 2019 was $249,939.
Certain of the Notes were issued when the
market price of the Company’s common stock was in excess of
conversion price per share creating a beneficial conversion feature
associated with these Notes with an aggregate amount of $71,381 at
issuance dates. As such, the Company recorded the $71,381 intrinsic
value of the beneficial conversion feature at issuance dates of the
Notes as additional paid-in capital and recognized as a debt
discount. The debt discount is being amortized as interest expense
over the terms of the related notes. During the nine month period
ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded amortization of the
debt discount of $52,933 as interest expense. As such, unamortized
debt discount as of December 31, 2019 related to these Notes was
$18,449.
12% Senior Convertible Promissory
Note
On September 4, 2019, the Company entered
into a Senior Convertible Promissory Note due September 12, 2020
(the “Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000, of which an
initial tranche of $250,000 was received on September 9, 2019, to
an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”). The maturity date for
each tranche funded (each, a “Maturity Date”) under the Note shall
be twelve (12) months from the effective date of the payment of the
respective tranche, less any amounts converted or redeemed prior to
the Maturity Date. As such, the initial tranche matures on
September 8, 2020. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per
annum, payable on the Maturity Date or upon any conversion,
prepayment, event of default or other acceleration of payment under
the Note. All interest payments under the Note are payable, at the
Company’s option, in cash or shares of Common Stock.

Purchaser will have participation rights in subsequent rights
offerings and pro rata distributions. However, the Purchaser does
not have the right to convert the Note to the extent that such
conversion would result in such Purchaser being the beneficial
owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of such Purchaser,
9.99%), which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or
decreased up to 9.99% upon notice to the Company, provided that any
increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days
following notice to the Company.
In the event the Company has a DTC “Chill”
on the Company’s shares, an additional discount of 10% shall apply
to the Conversion Price while that “Chill” is in effect. The
Alternate Conversion Price shall be subject to a floor price of
$0.25 per share (the “Floor Price”) provided, however, that the
Floor Price shall no longer apply (1) after August 1, 2020, (2) if
certain events of default occurs under the Note, and/or (3) the
Company fails to pay an amount in cash to the Purchaser equal to
125% multiplied by the respective conversion amount with respect to
any notice of conversion as provided in the Note.
The Company may prepay in cash any portion
of the outstanding principal amount of the Note and any accrued and
unpaid interest upon one (1) days’ written notice to the Purchaser,
at any time prior to or as of (but not following) the earlier of
the (i) the first conversion date under the Note for the respective
tranche under the Note and (ii) the 180th calendar day after the
funding date of the respective tranche under the Note. If the
Company exercises its right to prepay any respective tranche under
the Note at any time within the initial 180 calendar days following
the funding date of the respective tranche under the Note, the
Company will be required to pay a premium amount above the related
principal amount ranging from 10% to 25% depending on when the
prepayment notice is provided to the Purchaser.
In connection with the offer and sale of the
Note, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a Security
Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2019 (the “Security
Agreement”). Under the Security Agreement, the Company granted a
security interest in all of their respective assets, rights,
interests and after-acquired assets and properties, except for the
Company’s ownership interest in its subsidiary, Trace Analytics,
Inc., as collateral for repayment of the principal and interest
owed under the Note.
Also in connection with the offer and sale
of the Note, the Company entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement, dated September 4, 2019, with the Purchaser (the
“Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Company is obligated to register all shares of
common stock underlying the Note resale in a registration statement
to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the
company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement registering any securities, except a
registration statement filed (i) in connection with any employee
stock option or other benefit plan on Form S-8, (ii) for a dividend
reinvestment plan or (iii) in connection with a merger or
acquisition.
The Company considered the FASB guidance of
“Contracts in Entity’s Own Stock” which indicates that any
adjustment to the fixed amount (either conversion price or number
of shares) of the instrument regardless of the probability of
whether or not within the issuers’ control means the instrument is
not indexed to the issuer’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company
determined that the conversion prices of the Notes was not a fixed
amount because they were subject to an adjustment based on the
occurrence of future offerings or events. As a result, the Company
determined that the conversion features of the Note was not
considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and characterized the
fair value of the conversion features as derivative liabilities
upon issuance. The Company determined that upon issuance of the
Note, the initial fair value of the embedded conversion feature was
$199,081. As such, the Company recorded a $199,081 derivative
liability which was recorded as debt discount offsetting the fair
value of the Note (see Note 7). During the nine months ended
December 31, 2019, the Company amortized $64,360 of the debt
discount to interest expense. The balance of the unamortized
discount was $134,721 at December 31, 2019.

NOTE 7 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
In accordance with the FASB authoritative
guidance, the conversion feature of the Note was separated from the
host contract and recognized as a derivative instrument with a fair
value of $199,081, which is re-measured at the end of every
reporting period with the change in value reported in the condensed
statement of operations. The initial derivative liability was
valued using a weighted-average Black-Scholes-Merton model with the
following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.69%; expected
volatility of 189%; expected life of 1 year; and expected dividend
yield of 0%. The derivative liability was re-measured to be
$234,058 as of December 31, 2019 using a weighted-average
Black-Scholes-Merton model with the following assumptions:
risk-free interest rate of 1.60%; expected volatility of 196%;
expected life of .68 years; and expected dividend yield of 0%. This
resulted in an increase in the initial value of the derivative of
$34,977, which was recognized as other expense in the Company’s
Condensed Statement of Operations for the nine months ended
December 31, 2019.
The Company used a risk-free interest rate
based on rates established by the Federal Reserve Bank and used its
own stock’s volatility as the estimated volatility. In addition,
the expected life of the conversion feature of the notes was based
on the remaining terms of the Note. Further, the expected dividend
yield was based on the fact that the Company has not customarily
paid dividends to its holders of Common Stock in the past and does
not expect to pay dividends to holders of its Common Stock in the
future.
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY

NOTE 10 – LEASE OBLIGATIONS
On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into
a two-year extension related to 2,100 square feet of office space
leased by its subsidiary, Applied Products LLC. The lease requires
the Company to pay rent of $2,750 per month or $33,000 per year.
The rent shall be increased at the end of each year by the same
percentage as any increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) as
published by the U.S. Department of Labor for the most recent
preceding 12 month period. Also beginning on October 1, 2019, the
Company entered into a five-year extension related to 3,734 square
feet of office space leased by its subsidiary, Trace Analytics. The
new rent is $5,716 per month or $68,592 per year.
Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted
the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to
recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a lease liability for
virtually all leases. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities
are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of
lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets represent the
Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and
lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. In conjunction with the lease
extensions entered into on October 1, 2019, the Company recorded a
ROU asset and liability of $372,490. The Company used an implicit
rate of interest to determine the present value of lease payments
utilizing its incremental borrowing rate, as the implicit rate of
interest in the respective leases is not readily determinable. The
Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based
on its understanding of what its credit rating would be.

Acquisition of Trace Analytics,
Inc.
On January 7, 2019, we closed on a purchase
of 520,410 shares of common stock of Trace Analytics, Inc., a
Washington corporation (“Trace Analytics”). Pursuant to a Common
Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased Trace Analytics at
a purchase price of $2.40 per share, for an aggregate purchase
price of $1,250,000, of which 141,850 shares remain to be issued.
Trace Analytics is a cannabis testing laboratory acquired to enable
the Company to position itself as the leading provider of testing
solutions for CBD products for both compliance requirements and
consumer safety as these products continue to increase in
popularity. Immediately following the purchase, we held 51% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Trace Analytics
and have included the financial results of Trace Analytics in our
condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of
acquisition, January 1, 2019.
The Common Stock Purchase Agreement included
the option for Trace to repurchase 205,410 shares of Common Stock
based on the occurrence of certain Repurchase Triggering Events.
Based on a review of the Repurchase Triggering Events, we consider
it unlikely that any of the events will occur. Additionally, we
entered into a Voting Agreement with Trace concurrent with the
Common Stock Purchase Agreement. The Voting Agreement provided for
the designation of three out of five positions on the Trace
Analytics Board of Directors by the Company. The Voting Agreement
also detailed certain transactions that require two-thirds approval
by the Board of Directors. The Voting Agreement is not considered
to impact the ability of the Company to control the operations and
assets of Trace Analytics.

Revenues: Revenues relate to
shipments of cannabidiol (“CBD”) brand products and lab testing
services. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, revenue
from our CBD product lines was $22,357 as compared to $413,109 for
the three months ended December 31, 2018. The decrease of $390,752
related to lower sales of bulk hemp seed and raw CBD. Service
revenue resulting from our lab testing is attributable solely to
the acquisition of Trace Analytics in January 2019, and totaled
$147,218 for the three months ended December 31, 2019.
Cost of Revenue: Cost of goods sold is driven by
product sales, and primarily consists of purchases of inventory for
sale. We generally purchase products that are private labels and
brand the products using our tradenames. During the three months
ended December 31, 2019, we incurred $17,137 of costs to purchase
product which represented 77% of our product revenues as compared
to $379,582 or 92% of our product revenues for the three months
ended December 31, 2018. Similar to revenues, lower product costs
for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the
same period in 2018 were driven by lower purchases of bulk hemp
seed and raw CBD. Cost of services were $34,206 or 23% of service
revenues and related to our lab testing services, which is
attributable solely to the acquisition of Trace Analytics.
Gross Margin: For the three months ended December 31,
2019, gross margin from sale of our CBD products was $5,220 or 23%
of product revenues as compared to a gross margin of $33,527 or 8%
for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The improved gross
margin percentage is primarily due to reduced sales lower margin
bulk hemp seed and raw CBD. Gross margin from our lab testing
services, which started January 1, 2019, totaled $113,012 or 77% of
our lab testing revenues.
Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses are
mainly comprised of advertising, public relations, investor
relations, events, and website marketing costs. Sales and marketing
expenses decreased to $50,590 for the three months ended December
31, 2019 as compared to $100,730 for the three months ended
December 31, 2018. The decrease is due to lower spending for
investor relations and other marketing professional services.
General and administrative: General and
administrative expenses are mainly comprised of professional fees,
travel expenses, meals and entertainment and other office support
costs. General and administrative expenses decreased $320,414 to
$997,055 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared
to $1,317,469 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The
decrease was mainly attributable to lower issuance of common stock
for services offset somewhat by the acquisition of Trace Analytics
and addition of our Applied Biopharma subsidiary, with general and
administrative expenses for the remainder of the Company
essentially flat compared to the three months ended December 31,
2018.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation expense
was $40,828 for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as
compared to $292 for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The
increase was driven solely by depreciation on equipment acquired in
connection with the acquisition of Trace Analytics in January
2019.
Unrecognized Gain on Equity Investments: We remeasure our
equity investments at each reporting period at fair value with
changes in fair value recognized in net income. During the three
months ended December 31, 2019, we obtained observable evidence
that the fair value of certain equity investments had decreased by
$327,381. As such, we recorded an unrecognized loss from the change
in market value of $327,281 during the three months ended December
31, 2019. There was no observable evidence in the change in fair
market value for any of our equity investments during the three
months ended December 31, 2018.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative
Liability: In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance,
the conversion feature of our senior secured convertible note
issued by us in December 31, 2019 was separated from the host
contract (i.e., the notes) and recognized as a derivative
instrument. The conversion feature of this note is characterized as
a derivative liability, which is re-measured at the end of every
reporting period with the change in value recognized as a gain or
loss in our consolidated statement of operations. During the three
months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded an expense of $39,231
due to the change in the fair value of our derivative
liability.
Interest Expense: During the three
months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $16,621 and
$111,498, respectively, of interest costs related to convertible
notes along with amortization of $72,396 and $395,090,
respectively, of debt discount recorded in conjunction with the
convertible notes. The decreases were driven by timing of loans
along with related interest rates from convertible notes for the
three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the three
months ended December 31, 2018.

Revenues: During the nine months ended December 31,
2019, revenue from our CBD product lines was $192,011 as compared
to $472,509 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The
decrease of $280,498 related to lower sales of bulk hemp seed and
raw CBD. Service revenue resulting from our lab testing totaled
$433,295 for nine months ended December 31, 2019.
Cost of Revenue: During the nine months ended
December 31, 2019, we incurred $167,546 of costs to purchase
product which represented 87% of our product revenues as compared
to $439,740 or 93% of our product revenues for the nine months
ended December 31, 2018. Similar to revenues, lower product costs
for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the
same period in 2018 were driven by lower purchases of bulk hemp
seed and raw CBD. Cost of services related to our lab testing for
the nine months ended December 31, 2019 were $81,967 or 19% of
service revenues.
Gross Margin: For the nine months ended December 31,
2019, gross margin from sale of our CBD products was $24,465 or 13%
of products revenue as compared to a gross margin of $32,769 or 7%
of product revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
The improved gross margin percentage is primarily due to reduced
sales lower margin bulk hemp seed and raw CBD. Gross margin for the
nine months ended December 31, 2019 from our lab testing
services totaled $351,328 or 81% of our lab testing revenues.
Sales and marketing: Sales and marketing expenses
decreased to $256,775 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019
as compared to $556,167 for the nine months ended December 31,
2018. The decrease was due to lower spending for investor relations
and other marketing services.
General and administrative: General and
administrative expenses increased by $558,879 to $2,271,546 for the
nine months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $1,712,667 for
the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase was mainly
attributable to the acquisition of Trace Analytics and the addition
of our Applied Biopharma subsidiary, offset somewhat by lower
issuance of common stock for services.
Depreciation and amortization:
Depreciation expense was $120,324 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2019 as compared to $877 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2018. The increase was driven solely by depreciation
on equipment acquired in connection with the acquisition of Trace
Analytics in January 2019.
Unrecognized Gain on Equity
Investments: We remeasure our equity investments at each
reporting period at fair value with changes in fair value
recognized in net income. During the nine months ended December 31,
2019, we obtained observable evidence that the fair value of
certain equity investments had decreased by $327,381. As such, we
recorded an unrecognized loss from the change in market value of
$327,281 during the three months ended December 31, 2019. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2018, we were able to obtain
observable evidence that the fair value of certain equity
investments had increased by $404,763. As such, we recorded an
unrecognized gain from the change in market value of $404,763
during the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative
Liability: In accordance with the FASB authoritative guidance,
the conversion feature of our senior secured convertible note
issued by us in December 31, 2019 was separated from the host
contract (i.e., the notes) and recognized as a derivative
instrument. The conversion feature of this note is characterized as
a derivative liability, which is re-measured at the end of every
reporting period with the change in value recognized as a gain or
loss in our consolidated statement of operations. During the nine
months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded an expense of $34,977
due to the change in the fair value of our derivative
liability.
Interest Expense: During the nine
months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded $30,525 and
$137,075, respectively, of interest costs related to convertible
notes along with amortization of $123,293 and $437,805,
respectively, of debt discount recorded in conjunction with the
convertible notes. The decreases were driven by timing of loans and
related interest rates from convertible notes for the nine months
ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the nine months ended
December 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
A summary of our cash flows for the nine
months ended December 31, 2019 is as follows:
Net cash used in operating activities was
$817,715 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to
$788,863 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018. The increase
in cash used in operations was primarily driven by the acquisition
of Trace Analytics and the general and administrative costs
associated with Trace operations. Additional increases were due to
our addition of Applied Biopharma subsidiary along with sales and
marketing costs related to growth in CBD products revenue.
Net cash used in investing activities during
the nine months ended December 31, 2018 was the $550,000, which
related to the deposit on the purchase price of Trace Analytics,
Inc. that was completed in January 2019. We had no investing
activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.
Net cash provided by financing activities
for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 was $791,939 as
compared to $1,519,500 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018.
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was driven by
lower issuances of convertible notes. We anticipate additional
financing activities in the coming months to support continued
growth in our products and services revenue along with acquisitions
of assets to establish and grow our biopharmaceutical
operations.
Going Concern
As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements
contained elsewhere is this Form 10-Q, as of December 31, 2019 we
had cash on hand and had an accumulated deficit of $21,268 and
$8,086,293, respectively, and during the nine months ended December
31, 2019, we utilized cash for operations and incurred a net loss
of $817,715 and $2,789,028, respectively. Our uses of cash have
been primarily for strategic investments along with support for
operations and marketing efforts to promote and develop our CBD
products and our company. Our principal sources of liquidity have
been cash provided by financing, primarily through the sale of
equity securities and issuance of convertible notes, along with
revenues from our principal business activities. Further, we have
used cash for various strategic investments for which we typically
receive returns when such investments are sold and when or if
dividends are declared.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q, our cash
resources are insufficient to meet our current operating expense
requirements and planned business objectives without additional
financing. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
on our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately
achieve sustainable revenues and income from our operations. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we raised $791,939 through
the issuance of convertible notes to accredited. However, we
anticipate that significant additional expenditures will be
necessary to expand and bring to market our products and
investments before sufficient and consistent positive operating
cash flows will be achieved. Additionally, substantial cash will be
needed to establish and advance our biopharmaceutical operations.
As such, we will need additional funds to operate our business
through and beyond the date of this Form 10-Q filing. There can be
no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms
acceptable to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional
financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on our
operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial
dilution for our stockholders in the case of convertible debt and
equity financing.
These and other factors raise substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further,
our independent auditors in their audit report for our fiscal year
ended March 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable
to continue as a going concern.
Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Use of Estimates
Preparation of the condensed consolidated
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the period. Among other things, our estimates
include the collectability of our accounts receivable,
recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in determining
impairment of investments and intangible assets, accruals for
potential liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets.
These estimates generally involve complex issues and require
judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the
prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period
to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these
estimates.
Investments
We measure our equity investments at their
fair value at end of each reporting period. Specifically, we follow
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU
2016-01 primarily affects equity investments, financial liabilities
under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure
requirements for financial instruments. Among other things, this
guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair
value with changes in fair value recognized in net income.
Investments accounted for under the equity
method or cost method of accounting are included in the caption
“Equity investments” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets.
Goodwill
Goodwill will be tested for impairment at
the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an
operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if
an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying
value.
Derivative Financial
Instruments
We evaluate our financial instruments to
determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features
that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial
instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then
re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value
reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether
such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is
evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative
instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as
current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement
of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of
the balance sheet date.
To determine the number of authorized but
unissued shares available to satisfy outstanding convertible
securities, we use a sequencing method to prioritize its
convertible securities as prescribed by ASC 815-40-35. At each
reporting date, we review our convertible securities to determine
their classification is appropriate.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
See our discussion of recent accounting policies in Footnote 2 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere
in this Form 10-Q.
We are a smaller reporting company as
defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to
provide the information required under this item.
Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are
controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or
submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported, within the time period
specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and
procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
In connection with this quarterly report, as
required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and
procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision
and with the participation of our company’s management, including
our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial
officer. Based upon that evaluation, management concluded that as
of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective. The most significant issues identified were: 1) lack
of segregation of duties due to very small staff and significant
reliance on outside consultants, 2) risks of executive override
also due to lack of established policies, and small employee staff
and, 3) ineffective closing procedures and financial
statement disclosure controls. As the company’s operations
increase, the company intends to take measures to mitigate the
issues identified and implement a functional system of internal
controls over financial reporting. Such measures will include, but
not be limited to hiring of additional employees in its finance and
accounting department; preparation of risk-control matrices to
identify key risks and develop and document policies to mitigate
those risks; and identification and documentation of standard
operating procedures for key financial activities.
Changes in Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or
15d-15(f)) during the nine months ended December 31, 2019 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal controls over financial reporting.
Currently we are not subject to any pending litigation or legal
proceeding.
As a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the
Exchange Act we are not required to provide the information
required under this item.
