CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere herein may address or relate to future events and expectations and as such constitutes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements which are not historical reflect our current expectations and projections about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities and are based upon information currently available to us and our management and their interpretation of what is believed to be significant factors affecting our business, including many assumptions regarding future events. Such forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things:

 

  the size and growth of the potential markets for our products and the ability to serve those markets;
     
  our expectations regarding our expenses and revenue, the sufficiency of our cash resources and needs for additional financing;
     
  the rate and degree of market acceptance of any of our products;
     
  our expectations regarding competition;
     
  our anticipated growth strategies;
     
  our ability to attract or retain key personnel;
     
  our ability to establish and maintain development partnerships;
     
  regulatory developments in the U.S. and foreign countries, especially those related to change in, and enforcement of, cannabis laws;
     
  our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our products; and
     
  the anticipated trends and challenges in our business and the market in which we operate.

 

Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies, and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “scheduled,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “seek,” or “project” or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations, prospects and opportunities could differ materially and perhaps substantially from those expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements as a result of various risks, uncertainties and other factors. These statements may be found under the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2019 (filed on November 29, 2019) entitled “Risk Factors” as well as in our other public filings.

 

In light of these risks and uncertainties, and especially given the start-up nature of our business, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained herein will in fact occur. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Company Overview

 

We are a pioneer in the constellation of cannabis cancer and diagnostics. Personalization of cannabinoid-based treatments is our main scope, addressing the rapidly growing yet unmet need of cancer patients who are prescribed with cannabis. The multifactorial benefits of cannabis create an arising need that may unravel a new attitude to cancer treatment and prevention. The palliative aspects of cannabis such as reducing pain and nausea, propel the market to create over-the-counter and pharmaceutical grade cannabis products to cancer patients. With minor side effects and no toxicity, the only barrier to millions of cancer patients is worldwide regulation. The legalization of cannabis worldwide is being generated both by medical and financial processes exposing and legitimizing cannabis consumption as a medical treatment. The number of cancer patients, caregivers and doctors that are exposed to cannabis is growing rapidly as new countries i.e. Germany, Canada, Australia and others adopt new regulations and introduce natural cannabis products to the health system. Since the palliative properties of cannabis as pain and nausea reduction are widely accepted by physicians, along with a growing body of clinical proof, and patient advocating these benefits; we believe that in next decade a large percentage of cancer patients worldwide will be treated with cannabis in varied medications both pharmaceutical and as a nutraceutical. It is already scientifically proven that cannabinoids impact cell cycle though partially known biological mechanisms and impact many aspects of human biology and health. This unique situation in which a highly active compound (i.e. THC, CBD) consumed by large portions of the population creates an unmet need to decipher the biological and clinical prospects of these compounds. Cannabics’ vision is to build a platform of data from which medications can be formulated, patients diagnosed and treated in a personalized manner. Our goal is to seek novel technologies in cancer medicine and assimilate them into cannabinoid medicine. The results we have gained in performing invitro studies and clinical studies are part of a growing holistic prospect of the treatment of cancer and other indications with cannabis.

 

We have recently published a scientific paper on the results our first clinical study on our SR capsules as a treatment for CACS in advanced cancer patients and leveraged our R&D lab to develop new formulations. As pioneers in this mission, we hope and believe that the database we create and the knowledge we gain will serve many cancer patients who are medicated with cannabis and will lead to better and more predictable therapy outcomes. The still confining U.S. regulation creates an advantage for Cannabics which is specifically licensed to conduct such research and clinical studies by the Israeli Ministry of Health.

 

Cancer and Cannabinoids

 

Natural products have served as vital resources for cancer therapy (e.g.,Vinca alkaloids, paclitaxel, etc., which are used as conventional chemotherapeutic agents) and are also sources for novel drugs. Natural products from plants therefore represent an excellent resource for targeted therapies, as phytochemicals and herbal mixtures multiple targets at the same time. Furthermore, the problem of drug resistance may be approached by integrating phytochemicals and phyto-therapy into academic western medicine through derivation and integration of data and as adjunct to conventional treatments. The integration of phytochemicals and phyto-therapy into cancer medicine represents a valuable asset to chemically synthesized chemicals and therapeutic antibodies. Cannabinoids are excellent candidates for this approach. Cannabinoids are a class of over 60compounds derived from the plant cannabis sativa, as well as the synthetic or endogenous versions of these compounds. Cannabinoids show specific cytotoxicity against tumor cells, while protecting healthy tissue from apoptosis. These effects are exerted through cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 in mammals and through non-receptor signaling pathways. Recent studies suggest that cannabinoids contribute to maintaining balance in cell proliferation and that targeting the endo-cannabinoid system can affect growth of several different types of cancer, including gliomas, breast, colon, prostate, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

 

Personalized Cancer Treatments

 

Despite significant progress in cancer diagnostics and development of novel therapeutic regimens, successful treatment of advanced forms of cancer is still a challenge and may require personalized therapeutic approaches. Our government licensed Israeli facility operates a unique research and development laboratory which combines high throughput screening (HTS) capabilities with the most advanced data tools. The HTS platform allows us to test vast number of compounds on cancerous cell lines and fresh biopsy tissues to record and measure the therapeutics effects of these compounds. Our advantage is in the specialized library which is composed of a collection of cannabis extracts and pure natural and synthetic cannabinoids. The library will also include a costumed cannabinoid matrix, to assess the possible interaction of combination therapy.

 

 

 

  12  

 

 

Advances in understanding many of the fundamental mechanisms of cancer progression have led to the development of molecular targeted therapies. While molecular targeted therapeutics continue to improve the outcome for cancer patients, tumor heterogeneity among patients, as well as intra-tumor heterogeneity, limits the efficacy of these drugs to specific patient subtypes, as well as contributing to relapse. Furthermore, Intra-tumor heterogeneity is caused by genomic instability in cancer cells, resulting in the selection of resistant clones, thus limits efficiency of cancer treatment. Hence, there is an actual medical need for a more personalized approach toward drug development and diagnosis that considers the diversity of cancer patients, as well as the complex milieu of tumor cells within a single patient.

 

Drug Sensitivity tests – a functional assay

 

Cannabics cutting edge functional platform is matching the correct cannabis formulation to the patients’ cancer, aiming to improve survival, quality of life and to prevent cross indication between cannabis and conventional therapy.

 

Cannabics’ technology represents the next step in personalized cannabinoid-based cancer medicine, moving prediction capabilities beyond genomics and into the science of biological response on living patient cells.

 

Cannabics’ high throughput screening (“HTS”) capabilities enables the screening of many compounds on cancerous cell lines and biopsies and measure the biological effects of these compounds. Our advantage is in the specialized library which is composed of a collection of cannabis extracts, pure and synthetic cannabinoids, conventional chemotherapies and the matrix of all combinations of these varieties.

 

Our lab is equipped with a collection of state-of-the-art instruments to enable miniaturization and automation of a variety of biological assays. The automated system is comprised of:

 

  1. High Content Screening Platform, which is an automated cellular imaging and analysis platform designed for quantitative microscopy.

 

  2. Flow cytometry, which enables multi-parametric single cell analysis.

 

  3. Automated workstation, for liquid handling for dispensing accurate and reproducible volumes of liquids and compounds.

 

  4. Multimode microplate reader, designed for fast measurements of numerous biological reactions/processes.

 

The integration of these instruments is enabled via a robotic arm, which allows a continuous process which utilizes all instruments.

 

Readouts generated from these instruments provide us with insights to the effect of our cannabinoid library on parameters such as, proliferation inhibition, apoptosis induction, angiogenesis prevention and toxicity on cancerous cells.

 

These experiments will produce multiplexed data composed of images of cells, cell specific markers and the extent/signal of the biological response. The biological response will be measured using different concentration of cannabinoids and their combinations, thus determining the most effective cannabinoid treatment for a specific cancer type.

 

SR Capsules

 

We have developed a proprietary capsule as a treatment to improve cancer related cachexia/anorexia syndrome (“CACS”) in advanced cancer patients. The main purpose in the treatment of patients with advanced cancer and CACS is to gain weight and improve quality of life (“QoL”). We believe that QoL in patients with CACS is inversely related to reduced appetite and weight-loss. Our clinical study was led by Professor Gil Bar-Sela, the Deputy Director of the Division of Oncology at Rambam Health Care Campus, Head of the Palliative and Supportive Oncology Unit, and Head of the service for melanoma and sarcoma patients. The main endpoints of the treatment of patients with advanced cancer and CACS are weight gain and QoL. The study was fully registered with the US NIH under "Cannabics Capsules as Treatment to Improve Cancer Related CACS in Advanced Cancer Patients", Identifier NCT02359123, and may be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02359123. The results of this study were published by Dr. Bar-Sela in Sage Journals under “Integrative Cancer Therapies” on October 9th, 2019, and may be seen here - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1534735419881498

Other comprehensive profit

 

We incurred another comprehensive loss of $2,982,638 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020. The loss was mainly attributable to a valuation of a financial asset, consisting of the Company’s shares held in Seedo and Wize Pharma, in the total amount of $2,982,638 As a result; the total comprehensive gain was $8,632,667 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

As of May 31, 2020, we had $357,629 in cash compared to $265,982 on August 31, 2019. We expect to incur a minimum of $1,000,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees, research and development expenses, and fees payable to outside medical centers for clinical studies.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the nine Months Ended May 31, 2020 compared to the nine Months Ended May 31, 2019

 

We used cash in operations of $2,060,996 for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 compared to cash used in operations of $2,225,109 for the nine months ended May 31, 2019. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended May 31, 2020 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $6,735,736, offset by depreciation of $167,190, a decrease in accounts payables and accrued liabilities of $8,737, a decrease of $129,712 in account receivables and prepaid expenses and an increase in changes in fair value of a financial asset, consisting of the Company’s shares held in Seedo, of $4,363,000 , capital gain of $26,212 held for trading valuation of $22,334 and stock issued for services in a total of $72,120.

 

We had cash flow from investing activities of $2,152,643 during the nine months ended May 31, 2020, compared to cash flow used in investing of $2,225,109 for the nine months ended May 31, 2019. The reason for the increase in cash flow from investing activities is due to the Company’s Realization of some of held for trade investments in in total of $2,228,365 and its purchase of fixed assets in the aggregate amount of $75,722.

 

We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders, issue equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

 

 

 

  15  

 

 

Going Concern

 

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital expenses, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2019 regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

 

Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

   

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2019, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on November 29, 2019, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by smaller reporting companies; as such term is defined by Item 503(e) of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

  (a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of May 31, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

 

 

  16  

 

 

Based on that evaluation, our management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information was accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

  (b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

  (c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
