PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
GlobeStar Therapeutics Corporation
(the “Company”) was incorporated on April 29, 2016. The Company’s year-end is September 30. On October 4, 2019, the
Company filed Articles of Continuance with the Secretary of State of Wyoming to continue its business in the state of Wyoming. As part
of these Articles of Continuance, effective October 4, 2019, the Company has no limit on the authorized shares of common stock that can
be issued. The Company filed its Certificate of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of Nevada on October 21, 2019 because it is no
longer a Nevada corporation.
We changed our name to GlobeStar
Therapeutics Corporation on April 27, 2021 to better reflect our expanded platform of products that include breakthrough addition of treatment
for Multiple Sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases.
GlobeStar Therapeutics Corporation,
based in Richland Washington, is a clinical stage Pharmaceutical Company introducing a patented formulation of previously approved drugs
for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. GlobeStar Therapeutics owns the exclusive global license from the inventors, who are based in
Italy. GlobeStar Therapeutics is initiating discussions with the FDA on clinical trial design in preparation for FDA submission and approval
pathway.
On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive
agreement with Advanced Innovative Partners (“AIP”) for AIP to provide advice to Company and SMI HealthCare LLC (“SMIHC”)
on the global design, strategy and execution of clinical trials, regulatory filings, intellectual property rights filings, and manufacturing
for Project Amethyst™. Project Amethyst™ is a compound intended to treat neurodegeneration from multiple sclerosis (“MS”).
GSTC is the exclusive worldwide licensee for Project Amethyst™, including all patents and patent applications relating thereto.
The Company and AIP agreement has been approved by
the parties' respective boards and is immediately effective. AIP will initially advise the Company and SMIHC on the design and launch
of an initial clinical trial in India and the associated regulatory approvals for GSTC's MS products in North America and Europe. A memorandum
of understanding previously had been entered into by the Company and AIP to design and implement clinical trials for Project Amethyst™,
subject to the execution of definitive agreement. Pursuant to the parties' agreement, the Company retains ownership of all intellectual
property rights, and final approval of Project Amethyst™, including the right to engage additional advisors and subject matter experts.
For its consulting services, AIP will be paid a monthly consulting fee and bonuses, a portion of which will be deferred and will become
payable only if the Company secures FDA marketing approval. If AIP introduces the Company or SMIHC to potential customers, or strategic
partners, subject to compliance with applicable law, AIP may also become entitled to receive commissions on certain revenues or profits
derived from those relationships.
The agreement with AIP builds on the recent agreement
of the Company with SMI HealthCare LLC (“SMIHC”) to manage an initial clinical trial, regulatory filings, intellectual property
rights filings, manufacturing, sales and distribution in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. On September 26, 2023, the
Company entered into an agreement with SMIHC to manage an initial clinical trial, regulatory filings, intellectual property rights filings,
manufacturing, sales and distribution in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, excluding Israel and Iraq, and for government
and private aid organizations, for the Company's patented Multiple Sclerosis treatment. The agreement with SMIHC was approved by the parties’
respective boards of directors. Implementation of the first phase is subject to the Company arranging financing. The first phase includes
formation of the Company and SMIHC subsidiaries in India, the clinical trial, regulatory and intellectual property rights filings in India,
identifying manufacturers, and planning for the commercial launch in India and countries in the region that accept Drug Controller General
of India (“DCGI”) approvals. Implementation of the second phase is expected to commence approximately nine months later, and
is subject to receipt of DCGI marketing approval and the Company arranging financing. The second phase may continue for the duration of
patent validity, and consists initially of sales, marketing and distribution in India and thereafter, countries in SMIHC’s territory
that will permit sales and distribution based upon DCGI approval. After proof of market in those countries, the intention is to seek regulatory
approvals elsewhere in SMIHC’s territory in order to expand the sales and distribution of the Company’s MS products. Pursuant
to with SMIHC, the Company will receive a 5% royalty on any sales under the agreement by the company formed in India under this agreement,
and 50% of any sublicense revenue from the India company formed under the agreement. The Company will pay the following (i) initial fees
of between $15,000 - $22,500, and monthly fees of between $5,000 and $12,500 per month for Phase A (ii) monthly fees of $12,500, increase
after six months to $17,500 per month, and to $25,000 per month after one year. The fee will increase by 5% per year thereafter for Phase
B (iii) an initial management fee of $15,000 upon certain milestones and monthly management fee of $5,000 per month thereafter.

SMIHC is an affiliate of SMI Group LLC, a privately-held
Los Angeles-based company. The chairman of SMI Group is a shareholder of the Company and consultant, though he did not advise the Company
on this transaction and has waived fees payable to an SMI company for introducing SMIHC to the Company.
Professional Team
We have adopted a Medical
Advisory Board and appointed medical doctors and medical professionals that have extensive education and hands on experience with pharmaceutical
and nutraceutical solutions for prevention and treatment of disease.
Management’s Plan
to Attract Capital
In the near term, management
will utilize debt or preferred stock financing to complete assembling the professional and management team to commence the process for
clinical trials in compliance with FDA protocol. plans to continue to focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s
business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial
obligations. There is no assurance, however, that investors will continue to advance capital to the Company or that the new business operations
will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise
doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In the midterm, management
will enhance its capital position with a public offering of equity securities to finance clinical trials and the necessary actions to
obtain approval of worldwide marketing of our MS treatment.
In the long term, marketing
the Company’s pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products will provide the necessary cash flow to support future growth. However,
there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company will ultimately attain
profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of capital to support near term
and midterm business operations, and the ability of the Company to achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to support
its operations.
Corporate Governance
We have adopted codes and
committees for governance of the corporation that include: (i) audit committee charter, (ii) written acknowledgement of code of ethics
for directors and senior officers, (iii) compensation committee charter, (iv) confidential information policy, iv) corporate governance
guidelines, (vi) executive committee charter, and (vii) nominating committee charter.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider
the following risk factors discussed below and the matters addressed under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,”
together with all the other information presented in this prospectus, including our audited financial statements and related notes. The
risks described below are the only presently known risks facing us or that may materially adversely affect our business. Additional risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business.
If any of the following risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially
adversely affected and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We
cannot be certain that our potential pharmaceuticals will receive regulatory approval, and without regulatory approval we will not be
able to market pharmaceuticals.
Our
business currently depends largely on the successful development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products to treat multiple sclerosis.
Our ability to generate revenue related to product sales, if ever, will depend on the successful development and regulatory approval of
such pharmaceuticals.
We currently
have no products approved for sale and we cannot guarantee that we will ever have marketable products. The development of a product candidate
and issues relating to its approval and marketing are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States and regulatory authorities
in other countries, with regulations differing from country to country. We are not permitted to market our product candidates in the United
States until we receive approval of an NDA from the FDA. We have not submitted any marketing applications for any of our product candidates.
- 6 -
Table of Contents
NDAs
must include extensive preclinical and clinical data and supporting information to establish the product candidate’s safety and
effectiveness for each desired indication. NDAs must also include significant information regarding the chemistry, manufacturing and controls
for the product. Obtaining approval of an NDA is a lengthy, expensive, and uncertain process, and we may not be successful in obtaining
approval. The FDA review processes can take years to complete, and approval is never guaranteed. If we submit an NDA to the FDA, the FDA
must decide whether to accept or reject the submission for filing. We cannot be certain that any submissions will be accepted for filing
and review by the FDA. Regulators in other jurisdictions have their own procedures for approval of product candidates. Even if a product
is approved, the FDA may limit the indications for which the product may be marketed, require extensive warnings on the product labeling
or require expensive and time-consuming clinical trials or reporting as conditions of approval. Regulatory authorities in countries outside
of the United States and Europe also have requirements for approval of drug candidates with which we must comply with prior to marketing
in those countries. Obtaining regulatory approval for marketing of a product candidate in one country does not ensure that we will be
able to obtain regulatory approval in any other country. In addition, delays in approvals or rejections of marketing applications in the
United States, Europe or other countries may be based upon many factors, including regulatory requests for additional analyses, reports,
data, preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory questions regarding different interpretations of data and results, changes in
regulatory policy during the period of product development and the emergence of new information regarding our product candidates or other
products. Also, regulatory approval for any of our product candidates may be withdrawn.
If we
are unable to obtain approval from the FDA, or other regulatory agencies, for product candidates, or if, subsequent to approval, we are
unable to successfully commercialize our other product candidates, we will not be able to generate sufficient revenue to become profitable
or to continue our operations, likely resulting in the total loss of principal for our investors.
Any
statements in this filing indicating that product candidates has demonstrated preliminary evidence of efficacy are our own and are not
based on the FDA’s or any other comparable governmental agency’s assessment of our product candidates and do not indicate
that our product candidates will achieve favorable efficacy results in any stage trials or that the FDA or any comparable agency will
ultimately determine that our product candidates are effective for purposes of granting marketing approval.
We face substantial competition,
which may result in others developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do.
The development and commercialization
of our potential drug candidates is highly competitive. We expect that we will face significant competition from other companies that
develop and market potential drug candidates.
Many of our existing and potential
future competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, and potential
drug candidates than we do.
Product liability lawsuits
against us could divert our resources, cause us to incur substantial liabilities and limit marketing of our potential drug candidates.
We face an inherent risk of product
liability claims. For example, we may be sued if any product we sell allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable. Any
such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent
in the product, negligence, strict liability or a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection
acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required
to limit commercialization of our products. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:
● |
decreased demand for our products or products that we may develop; |
|
|
● |
injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; |
|
|
● |
significant costs to defend resulting litigation; |
|
|
● |
substantial monetary awards to users; |
|
|
● |
loss of revenue; |
|
|
● |
reduced resources of our management to pursue our business strategy; and |
|
|
● |
the inability to commercialize our products and additional products that we may develop. |

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and
Need for Additional Capital
Implications of Being an
Emerging Growth Company
As a company with less than $1.0 billion
of revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business
Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, and we may remain an emerging growth company for up to five years. For so long as we remain an
emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable
to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. In particular, in this 10-K, we have provided only two years of audited
consolidated financial statements and have not included all of the executive compensation related information that would be required if
we were not an emerging growth company. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive
from other public companies in which you hold stock.
We have a history of operating
losses and expect to continue to realize losses in the near future. Currently our operations are producing inadequate revenue to fund
all operating costs, and we rely on investments by third parties to fund our business. Even as our revenue grows, we may not become profitable
or be able to sustain profitability.
From inception, we have incurred
significant net losses and have not realized adequate revenue to support our operations. We expect to continue to incur net losses and
negative cash flow from operations in the near future, and we will continue to experience losses for at least as long as it takes our
company to generate revenue from the sale of products. The size of these losses will depend, in large part, on whether we develop products
in a profitable manner. To date, we have had only limited operating revenues. There can be no assurance that we will achieve material
revenues in the future. Should we achieve a level of revenues that make us profitable, there is no assurance that we can maintain or increase
profitability levels in the future.
There is substantial doubt
as to whether we will continue operations. If we discontinue operations, you could lose your investment.
The following factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the ability of our business to continue as a going concern: (i) the losses we incurred since our inception; (ii) our lack
of significant operating revenues since inception through the date of this prospectus; and (iii) our dependence on debt and equity funding
to continue in operation. We therefore expect to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. If we are unable to obtain additional
financing from outside sources and eventually produce enough revenues, we may be forced to curtail or cease our operations. If this happens,
you could lose all or part of your investment.
Our lack of any profitable
operating history makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our
future performance.
We do not have any substantial
operating history, which makes it impossible to evaluate our business on the basis of historical operations. Our business carries both
known and unknown risks. As a consequence, our past results may not be indicative of future results. Although this is true for any business,
it is particularly true for us because of our lacking any profitable operating history.
Because our auditors have
issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty that we will be able to continue our operations.
Our auditors have issued a going
concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue to operate over the next 12 months. Our financial statements
do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification
of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence. As such, if we are unable to obtain new financing
to execute our business plan we may be required to cease our operations.
Effective March 3, 2021,
we changed management by electing James C. Katzaroff President and Chief Executive Officer.
There is no assurance Mr. Katzaroff
will be successful in securing FDA clearance and marking the newly acquired license for treatment of Multiple Sclerosis.
- 8 -
Table of Contents
Our chief executive officer
has the ability to significantly influence any matters to be decided by the stockholders, which may prevent or delay a change in control
of our company.
James Katzaroff, our CEO, currently
owns 1,000,000 shares of series E preferred stock. The owner of the series E preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal
to double the number of votes of all other stockholders. Therefore, Mr. Katzaroff has voting rights equal to two-thirds of all votes
cast at any action of stockholders and can exert decisive influence over the outcome of any corporate matter submitted to our stockholders
for approval, including the election of directors, removal of the entire board of directors and any transaction that might cause a change
in control, such as a merger or acquisition. Any stockholders in favor of a matter that is opposed by this stockholder cannot overrule
the vote of James Katzaroff.
James Katzaroff is one
of three directors and CEO. The loss of Mr. Katzaroff could adversely affect our business.
Since Mr. Katzaroff is currently
a director and CEO, if he were to die, become disabled, or leave our company, we would be forced to retain an individual to replace him.
There is no assurance that we can find a suitable person to replace him if that becomes necessary. We have no “key man” life
insurance at this time.
Risks related to our common stock
We lack an established
trading market for our common stock, and you may be unable to sell your common stock at attractive prices or at all.
There is currently a limited
trading market for our common stock on the OTC Market Group’s QB tier under the symbol “GSTC.” There can be no assurances
given that an established public market will be obtained for our common stock or that any public market will last. As a result, we cannot
assure you that you will be able to sell your common stock at attractive prices or at all.
The market price for our
common stock may be highly volatile.
The market price for our common
stock may be highly volatile. A variety of factors may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock, including:
● |
the publication of earnings estimates or other research reports and speculation in the press or investment community; |
|
|
● |
changes in the industry and competitors; |
|
|
● |
our financial condition, results of operations and prospects; |
|
|
● |
any future issuances of our common stock, which may include primary offerings for cash, and the grant or exercise of stock options from time to time; |
|
|
● |
general market and economic conditions; and |
|
|
● |
any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, which could cause a recession or downturn in our economy. |
We may be subject to shareholder
litigation, thereby diverting our resources that may have a material effect on our profitability and results of operations.
As discussed in the preceding
risk factors, the market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and
we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs
have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities.
We may become the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation will result in substantial costs and liabilities and will divert
management’s attention and resources.
- 9 -
Table of Contents
Future sales of common
stock by stockholders may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price of our common stock.
In the event a public market
for our common stock is sustained in the future, sales of our common stock may be made by holders of our public float or by holders of
restricted securities in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933. In general, under Rule 144, a non-affiliated
person who has satisfied a six-month holding period in a company registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may,
sell their restricted common stock without volume limitation, so long as the issuer is current with all reports under the Exchange Act
in order for there to be adequate common public information. Affiliated persons may also sell their common shares held for at least six
months, but affiliated persons will be required to meet certain other requirements, including manner of sale, notice requirements and
volume limitations. Non-affiliated persons who hold their common shares for at least one year will be able to sell their common stock
without the need for there to be current public information in the hands of the public. Future sales of shares of our public float or
by restricted common stock made in compliance with Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the then prevailing market price, if any, of
our common stock.
We do not expect to pay
cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not anticipate paying cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We may not have sufficient funds to legally pay dividends. Even if funds are
legally available to pay dividends, we may nevertheless decide in our sole discretion not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and
amount of any future dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon, among other things, the
results of our operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital requirements, and other factors our board of directors
may consider relevant. There is no assurance that we will pay any dividends in the future, and, if dividends are paid, there is no assurance
with respect to the amount of any such dividend.
As a public company, we
are subject to complex legal and accounting requirements that will require us to incur significant expenses and will expose us to risk
of non-compliance.
As a public company, we are subject
to numerous legal and accounting requirements that do not apply to private companies. The cost of compliance with many of these requirements
is material, not only in absolute terms but, more importantly, in relation to the overall scope of the operations of a small company.
Our relative inexperience with these requirements may increase the cost of compliance and may also increase the risk that we will fail
to comply. Failure to comply with these requirements can have numerous adverse consequences including, but not limited to, our inability
to file required periodic reports on a timely basis, loss of market confidence and/or governmental or private actions against us. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to comply with all of these requirements or that the cost of such compliance will not prove to be a substantial
competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis our privately held and larger public competitors.
Compliance with changing
regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management.
Changing laws, regulations and
standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public
companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will
need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which
will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities
to compliance activities.
We will need to raise substantial
additional capital in the future to fund our operations and we may be unable to raise such funds when needed and on acceptable terms.
When we elect to raise additional
funds or additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private equity offerings, debt financings,
corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements or other financing alternatives Additional equity or debt financing or corporate collaboration
and licensing arrangements may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient
amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we will be prevented from pursuing acquisition, licensing, development and commercialization efforts
and our ability to generate revenues and achieve or sustain profitability will be substantially harmed.
- 10 -
Table of Contents
If we raise additional funds
by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience dilution. Debt financing, if available, would result in increased fixed
payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such
as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise
may contain terms, such as liquidation and other preferences, which are not favorable to us or our stockholders. If we raise additional
funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements with third parties, it may be necessary to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies,
future revenue streams or product candidates or to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Should the financing we require
to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, our business, operating results, financial
condition and prospects could be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue our operations.
We are subject to penny
stock regulations and restrictions, and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to
the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred
to as the “penny stock rule.” Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d)
incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines a
penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. We are subject
to the SEC’s penny stock rules.
Since our common stock is deemed
to be penny stock, trading in the shares of our common stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who
sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are persons
with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such person’s primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000
or $300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination
for the purchase of such security and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally,
for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction of a risk disclosure
document, prepared by the SEC, relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both
the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent
disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently,
these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability
of our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock.
There can be no assurance that
our shares of common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock was exempt from
the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any
person from participating in a distribution of penny stock if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
Our common stock is subject
to price volatility unrelated to our operations.
The market price of our common
stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth,
quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions
in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or ourselves. In addition, the over-the-counter
market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations in general. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price
of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common
stock.
Trading in our common stock
on the OTC Markets is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
Trading in our common stock is
currently published on the OTC Markets. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of
our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally
experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies
with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by
our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s
securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial
costs for us and a diversion of management’s attention and resources.

cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors,
can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able
to elect any of our directors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THIS FILING CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THE
WORDS “ANTICIPATED,” “BELIEVE,” “EXPECT,” “PLAN,” “INTEND,” “SEEK,”
“ESTIMATE,” “PROJECT,” “WILL,” “COULD,” “MAY,” AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE
INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. THESE STATEMENTS INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, INFORMATION REGARDING FUTURE OPERATIONS, FUTURE
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, AND FUTURE NET CASH FLOW. SUCH STATEMENTS REFLECT THE COMPANY’S CURRENT VIEWS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE EVENTS
AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, GENERAL ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS,
CHANGES IN FOREIGN, POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS, REGULATORY INITIATIVES AND COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE
ABILITY TO ACHIEVE FURTHER MARKET PENETRATION AND ADDITIONAL CUSTOMERS, AND VARIOUS OTHER MATTERS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S
CONTROL. SHOULD ONE OR MORE OF THESE RISKS OR UNCERTAINTIES OCCUR, OR SHOULD UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS PROVE TO BE INCORRECT, ACTUAL RESULTS
MAY VARY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED, BELIEVED, ESTIMATED, OR OTHERWISE INDICATED. CONSEQUENTLY, ALL OF THE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS FILING ARE QUALIFIED BY THESE CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS OR DEVELOPMENTS.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and plan of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere herein.
This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements including information about possible or assumed results of our financial
conditions, operations, plans, objectives, and performance that involve risk, uncertainties, and assumptions. The actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. For example, when we indicate that we expect to increase our product
sales and potentially establish additional license relationships, these are forward-looking statements. The words expect, anticipate,
estimate or similar expressions are also used to indicate forward-looking statements.
Plan of Operations
We believe we do not have adequate funds to fully
execute our business plan for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional funding. However, should we not raise this capital, we
will allocate our funding to first assure that all State, Federal and SEC requirements are met.
On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive
agreement with Advanced Innovative Partners (“AIP”) for AIP to provide advice to Company and SMI HealthCare LLC (“SMIHC”)
on the global design, strategy and execution of clinical trials, regulatory filings, intellectual property rights filings, and manufacturing
for Project Amethyst™. Project Amethyst™ is a compound intended to treat neurodegeneration from multiple sclerosis (“MS”).
GSTC is the exclusive worldwide licensee for Project Amethyst™, including all patents and patent applications relating thereto.
The Company and AIP agreement has been approved by
the parties' respective boards and is immediately effective. AIP will initially advise the Company and SMIHC on the design and launch
of an initial clinical trial in India and the associated regulatory approvals for GSTC's MS products in North America and Europe. A memorandum
of understanding previously had been entered into by the Company and AIP to design and implement clinical trials for Project Amethyst™,
subject to the execution of definitive agreement. Pursuant to the parties' agreement, the Company retains ownership of all intellectual
property rights, and final approval of Project Amethyst™, including the right to engage additional advisors and subject matter experts.
For its consulting services, AIP will be paid a monthly consulting fee and bonuses, a portion of which will be deferred and will become
payable only if the Company secures FDA marketing approval. If AIP introduces the Company or SMIHC to potential customers, or strategic
partners, subject to compliance with applicable law, AIP may also become entitled to receive commissions on certain revenues or profits
derived from those relationships.
The agreement with AIP builds on the recent agreement
of the Company with SMI HealthCare LLC (“SMIHC”) to manage an initial clinical trial, regulatory filings, intellectual property
rights filings, manufacturing, sales and distribution in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. On September 26, 2023, the
Company entered into an agreement with SMIHC to manage an initial clinical trial, regulatory filings, intellectual property rights filings,
manufacturing, sales and distribution in India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, excluding Israel and Iraq, and for government
and private aid organizations, for the Company's patented
- 16 -
Table of Contents
Multiple Sclerosis treatment. The agreement with SMIHC
was approved by the parties’ respective boards of directors. Implementation of the first phase is subject to the Company arranging
financing. The first phase includes formation of the Company and SMIHC subsidiaries in India, the clinical trial, regulatory and intellectual
property rights filings in India, identifying manufacturers, and planning for the commercial launch in India and countries in the region
that accept Drug Controller General of India (“ DCGI”) approvals. Implementation of the second phase is expected to commence
approximately nine months later, and is subject to receipt of DCGI marketing approval and the Company arranging financing. The second
phase may continue for the duration of patent validity, and consists initially of sales, marketing and distribution in India and thereafter,
countries in SMIHC’s territory that will permit sales and distribution based upon DCGI approval. After proof of market in those
countries, the intention is to seek regulatory approvals elsewhere in SMIHC’s territory in order to expand the sales and distribution
of the Company’s MS products. Pursuant to with SMIHC, the Company will receive a 5% royalty on any sales under the agreement by
the company formed in India under this agreement, and 50% of any sublicense revenue from the India company formed under the agreement.
The Company will pay the following (i) initial fees of between $15,000 - $22,500, and monthly fees of between $5,000 and $12,500 per month
for Phase A (ii) monthly fees of $12,500, increase after six months to $17,500 per month, and to $25,000 per month after one year. The
fee will increase by 5% per year thereafter for Phase B (iii) an initial management fee of $15,000 upon certain milestones and monthly
management fee of $5,000 per month thereafter.
SMIHC is an affiliate of SMI Group LLC, a privately-held
Los Angeles-based company. The chairman of SMI Group is a shareholder of the Company and consultant, though he did not advise the Company
on this transaction and has waived fees payable to an SMI company for introducing SMIHC to the Company.
Results of Operations
Revenue
For the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 the
Company had no revenue.
Cost of Goods Sold
We had no cost of goods sold for the years ended September
30, 2023 and 2022.
Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expense of
$1,864,370 for the year months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,265,065 for the comparable period of 2022. The increase in general
and administrative expense was primarily related to an increase in stock -based compensation associated with common stock issued to a
consultant, new option awards to officers in the current period and with expense related to the common stock warrant repricing, partially
offset by a decrease in legal fees.
Loss on Settlement of Liabilities
We recognized a gain of $6,724 and a loss of $146,460
on the settlement of liabilities during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In the current period, the shares related
to the settlement of royalty payable balance with 7 to Stand resulted in a loss of $3,442 and the settlement of accrued compensation with
the Company’s CEO resulted in a gain of $10,165. In 2022, the loss was related to shares issued to settle $15,000 of advances.
Interest Expense
We recognized interest expense of $91,603 for the
year ended September 30, 2023 compared to $70,346 for the comparable period of 2022. The increase was due primarily to the amortization
of the discount on convertible notes payable and Series G Preferred Stock during the current period comparable to period of the prior
year.
Net Loss
For the reasons above, our net loss for the year ended
September 30, 2023 was $1,949,249 an increase of $461,439 or approximately 31% compared to a net loss of $1,487,810 for the year ended
September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2023, we had cash of $0 and a working
capital deficit in the amount of $1,433,861. During the year ended September 30, 2023, we had cash used in operating activities of $205,760,
consisting of our net loss of $1,949,249, partially offset by non-cash compensation of $464,878, gain on settlement of liabilities of
$6,724, and amortization of discount on notes payable of $33,391. We have an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2023 in the amount of
$20,454,025. We generated cash flows from financing activities in the amount of $72,500 of proceeds from the common stock subscribed,
$55,000 from convertible notes payable, net, $4,395 from the related party advances and $73,000 from the sale of common stock, which were
offset by the repayment of related party advances of $5,500.
We had no material commitments for capital expenditures
or inventory purchases as of September 30, 2023. However, should we execute our business plan as anticipated, we will incur substantial
capital expenditures and require financing in addition to what is required to fund our present operation.
We intend to pursue capital through public or private
financing, as well as borrowing and other sources in order to finance our business activities. We cannot guarantee that additional funding
will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then our ability to continue our operations may
be significantly hindered.
Additional Financing
Additional financing is required to continue operations.
Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of
financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our financial statements in conformity
with GAAP, which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions and apply judgments. We base our estimates and judgments
on historical experience, current trends, and other factors that management believes to be important at the time the financial statements
are prepared; actual results could differ from our estimates and such differences could be material. We have identified below the critical
accounting policies, which are assumptions made by management about matters that are highly uncertain and that are of critical importance
in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the need to make estimates about the effect
of matters that are inherently uncertain, materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different
assumptions. On a regular basis, we review our critical accounting policies and how they are applied in the preparation our financial
statements.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Going concern - The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company had
a net loss of $1,949,249 and generated negative cash flow from operating activities in the amount of $205,760. In view of these matters,
there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is dependent upon its ability to
achieve a level of profitability or to obtain additional capital to finance its operations. The Company intends on financing its future
activities and its working capital needs largely from the sale of public equity securities with some additional funding from other traditional
financing sources, including term notes until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.
The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets,
or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Globestar Therapeutics Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated

of operations, statements of stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2023, and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
September 30, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has
an accumulated deficit, net losses, and a working capital deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to
assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated

operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred
to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of September 30, 2022, and the result of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year ended
September 30, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern
The accompanying financial states have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company suffered
a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to
assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the

GLOBESTAR THERAPEUTICS CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
Note 1. General Organization and Business
GlobeStar Therapeutics Corporation (the “Company”)
was incorporated on April 29, 2016. The Company’s year-end is September 30. On October 4, 2019, the Company filed Articles of Continuance
with the Secretary of State of Wyoming to continue its business in the state of Wyoming. As part of these Articles of Continuance, effective
October 4, 2019, the Company has no limit on the authorized shares of common stock that can be issued. The Company filed its Certificate
of Dissolution with the Secretary of State of Nevada on October 21, 2019 because it is no longer a Nevada corporation.
The Company is developing an expanded platform of
products that include addition of treatment for Multiple Sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases. The potential pharmaceutical
products related to treatment for multiple sclerosis are licensed to the Company through the worldwide licensing agreement described in
Note 8.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SomaCeuticals, Inc., First Titan Energy, LLC and First Titan Technical,
LLC from the date of their formations or acquisition. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s balance sheet includes certain
financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively
short period between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair
Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market
participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s
own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable
inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the
fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 - |
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible
at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
|
|
Level 2 - |
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that
are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data by correlation or other means. |
|
|
Level 3 - |
Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon
certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2023. The respective carrying value of
certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These
financial instruments include accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Effective June 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606
— Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing
agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identifying the contract with a customer; (2) identifying
the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to each performance
obligation in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied.
Advertising and Marketing Costs
We expense advertising and marketing costs as incurred.
Advertising and marketing costs were $3,900 and $43,031 for the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
The Company incurred no research and development costs during the years ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All cash is maintained with a major financial institution
in the United States. Deposits with this bank may occasionally exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. For the purpose
of the financial statements, cash includes cash in banks. Cash was $0 and $6,365 as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. There
were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740
Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred
tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. No deferred tax assets
or liabilities were recognized as of September 30, 2023 and 2022.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial
statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur
or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. There
are no known commitments or contingencies as of September 30, 2023 or 2022.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting standards promulgated by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) are subject to change. Changes in such standards may have an impact on our future
financial statements. The following are a summary of recent accounting developments.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt
- Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies
the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This ASU (1) simplifies the accounting
for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion
and Other Options, that requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately
from the host convertible debt or preferred stock; (2) revises the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding
financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’
equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification; and (3) revises the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share,
to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition,
entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The
Company adopted this guidance early on October 1, 2023 with no impact to the consolidated financial statements or results of operations
of the Company.
There are various other updates recently issued, most
of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to
a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 3. Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company had
a net loss of $1,949,249. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,433,861 and an accumulated deficit
of $20,454,025. The Company has no revenue. Without additional capital, the Company will not be able to remain in business.
These factors raise a substantial doubt about the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect
the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Management has plans to address the Company’s
financial situation as follows:
In the near term, management plans to continue to
focus on raising the funds necessary to implement the Company’s business plan. Management will continue to seek out debt financing
to obtain the capital required to meet the Company’s financial obligations. There is no assurance, however, that lenders will advance
capital to the Company or that the new business operations will be profitable. The possibility of failure in obtaining additional funding
and the potential inability to achieve profitability raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
In the long term, management believes that the Company’s
projects and initiatives will be successful and will provide cash flow to the Company, which will be used to finance the Company’s
future growth. However, there can be no assurances that the Company’s planned activities will be successful, or that the Company
will ultimately attain profitability. The Company’s long-term viability depends on its ability to obtain adequate sources of debt
or equity funding to meet current commitments and fund the continuation of its business operations, and the ability of the Company to
achieve adequate profitability and cash flows from operations to sustain its operations.

Note 7. Series G Preferred Stock
On August 11, 2021, our board of directors designated
up to 1,000,000 shares of Series G Preferred Stock with a liquidation value of $1.00 per share. The holders of the Series G Preferred
Stock have no voting rights except on matters related specifically to the Series G Preferred Stock. The Series G Preferred Stock carries
a dividend of 8% of the stated value per share, which is cumulative and payable upon redemption, liquidation or conversion, and increases
to 22% in case of default. The Series G Preferred Stock and accrued dividends are convertible beginning 180 days from issuance at the
option of the holder into shares of common stock at a rate of a conversion price of 75% of the average three lowest trading prices during
the 15 days prior to conversion. The Company will be required to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock upon the earlier of 15 months from
issuance date or upon on event of default as defined in the agreement.
Based on the economic characteristics of the Series
G Preferred Stock, the Company determined that the Series G should be accounted for as a liability under ASC 480-10, based on the discounted
conversion price providing an effectively fixed monetary amount that the preferred stock is convertible into.
During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company
sold an aggregate of 89,100 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for net cash proceeds of $73,000. The Company recorded a debt discount
of $16,100 for the difference between the cash proceeds and the total amount to be redeemed by the holder of $89,100. The Company amortized
$28,681 of discount related to Series G Preferred Stock for the year ended September 30, 2023. The dividends on the Series G Preferred
Stock are accrued as interest. The Company recognized $5,039 of interest on the Series G Preferred Stock and had an accrued interest balance
of $3,556 and $3,983 as of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the holder
of the Series G converted 227,975 shares of Series G and $9,119 of dividends into 100,712,968 shares of common stock. The conversions
were in accordance with the terms of the agreement and no gain or loss was recognized.
During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Company
sold an aggregate of 369,875 shares of Series G Preferred Stock for net cash proceeds of $310,000. The Company recorded a debt
discount of $59,875 for the difference between the cash proceeds and the total amount to be redeemed by the holder of $369,875. The
Company amortized $54,664 of discount related to Series G Preferred Stock for the year months ended September 30, 2022. The dividends
on the Series G Preferred Stock are accrued as interest. The Company recognized $15,852 of interest on the Series G Preferred Stock
and had an accrued interest balance of $3,983 and $1,281 as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively. During
the year ended September 30, 2022, the holder of the Series G converted 324,500 shares of Series G and $12,980 of dividends
into 109,052,543 shares of common stock, and the Company recognized a loss of $5,939.
As of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, 0
and 138,875 shares of the Series G Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding, respectively. The balance of the Series G Preferred stock
liability was $0 and $126,294, respectively, net of unamortized discount of $0 and $12,581, respectively.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
In February
2022, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Spivak Management, Inc. (the “Consultant”). Under the agreement,
the Consultant will provide business strategy advice and introductions to the Company for a period of five years unless mutually terminated
sooner. Concurrently, Kenin Spivak, who controls Spivak Management, Inc., entered into a stock purchase agreement with the Company to
purchase 6,000,000 shares of common stock for $25,000 cash. The purchase and issuance of the shares was to be completed by June 30, 2022.
The Consultant
will be paid a signing bonus of $25,000 upon receipt by the Company of the $25,000 cash under the stock purchase agreement described above.
The Consultant will also receive the larger of $12,500 per month, or 50% of the CEO’s fixed cash compensation under the amended
employment agreement described in Note 4. The Consultant may elect to receive this payment in stock.
In July 2022,
the consultant agreement and the stock purchase agreement were amended to reduce the subscription amount to $17,500. In August 2022, $17,500
was placed in escrow by Mr. Spivak for the Company’s Benefit, and the Company paid $17,500 to the Consultant from the escrow account.
The 6,000,000 shares owed to Mr. Spivak were not issued by June 30, 2023, and were issued in August 2023.
The Consultant
may also receive a bonus in each calendar year of the agreement equal to the larger of any bonus awarded by the Board of Directors to
the Consultant or 50% of the largest bonus payable by the Company to anyone other than the Consultant. If the agreement is terminated
with one year of a change of control of the Company, the Consultant will be entitled to receive a payment equal to 2.99 times the larger
of the total compensation paid to the Consultant over the prior 12 month period or the average compensation paid or payable to the Consultant
over the prior three years. On September 19, 2023, the Company entered into a second supplement to consulting agreement. Pursuant to the
agreement, in In lieu of Base Fees accrued through September 2023 and interest on late payment thereof, the Company shall pay to the Consultant,
the sum of $300,000 in installments on and from the first to occur of the following until the full $300,000 is paid in full. The Company
will continue to pay the Consultant a fee of $12,500 per month. The Company reclassified $250,000 of fee accrued in accounts payable owed
to the Consultant and interest expense of $50,000 to a note payable. As of September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company owed
the consultant $337,500 and $100,000, which included accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $37,500 and $100,000 and notes payable
of $300,000 and $0, respectively.
On August 10,
2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Valerian Capital, LLC ( “Valerian”). Under the agreement, Valerian

stock to Valerian.
Litigation
From time to
time, the Company may be subject to routine litigation, claims, or disputes in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management,
no pending or known threatened claims, actions or proceedings against the Company are expected to have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company cannot predict with certainty, however, the outcome
or effect of any of the litigation or investigatory matters specifically described above or any other pending litigation or claims. There
can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any lawsuits and investigations.
Note 9. License Agreement
Effective August 23, 2020 the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, SomaCeuticals, Inc. entered into an exclusive global license agreement with 7 to Stand, Inc. for the rights to U.S. patent
10,610,592 issued to Fabrizio de Silvestri, Terni, Italy, as inventor, April 7, 2020 for treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. In consideration
for the license agreement, SomaCeuticals agreed to pay 7 to Stand a royalty of 7.1% of the net sales of any product developed under the
patent on a worldwide basis. Additionally, the Company will issue shares of common stock to 7 to Stand upon completion of the following
milestones:
● |
Common shares representing 5% of total number of outstanding common shares of the Company immediately following any change of control of the Company; the Company issued 29,130,167 shares of common stock as a result of the change of control discussed in Note 5. These shares were issued in July 2021. |
|
|
● |
29,130,167 Common shares immediately following the first round of funding under a private offer of equity or debt securities; These shares were issued in July 2021. |
|
|
● |
29,130,167 Common shares immediately following the commencement of clinical trials for Federal Drug Administration clearance of the product; and |
|
|
● |
Common shares representing an adjustment to increase 7 to Stand’s total ownership to 19.99% of total number of outstanding common shares of the Company immediately following FDA clearance of the product for sale. The Company expects to issue 29,130,166 shares of common stock related to this provision if met. |
|
|
● |
$40,000 of royalties to be paid to 7 to Stand annually, on a quarterly basis. The license agreement may be terminated by 7 to Stand if 1) SomaCeuticals does not begin clinical trials within one year of the agreement; 2) if SomaCeuticals terminates the continuation of the clinical trials; or 3) shall not commence marketing the product within reasonable time after obtaining FDA approval. |
The Company paid no royalties and accrued $43,851
of royalties and late fees during the year ended September 30, 2023. During the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company and 7 to Stand
agreed to settle a total of $50,102 by issuance of 7,261,087 shares of common stock. The Company recognized a gain of $10,166 based on
the fair value of the shares issued.
The Company owed $20,000 of royalties and late fees
under this agreement as of September 30, 2023 and $26,250 as of September 30, 2022.
Note 10. Income Taxes
There is no current or deferred income tax expense
or benefit for the period ended September 30, 2023 and 2021. The Company currently has net operating loss carryforwards aggregating approximately
$5,217,000 which expire beginning in 2033. The deferred tax asset related to the net operating loss carryforwards has been fully reserved.
The provision for income taxes is different from that
which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The items causing this difference
for the period from April 29, 2016 (date of inception) through September 30, 2023 and 2022 is the valuation allowance as follows.

The Company has not recognized an income tax benefit
for the period based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. The tax benefit for the current
period presented is offset by a valuation allowance (100%) established against deferred tax assets arising from operating losses and other
temporary differences, the realization of which could not be considered more likely than not. In future periods, tax benefits and related
deferred tax assets will be recognized when management considers realization of such amounts to be more likely than not.
The tax returns for fiscal year 2017 and forward are
still open for review by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
On November 2, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with Advanced Innovate Partners (“AIP”) under which AIP will provide advice
to GlobeStar and SMIHC on the global design, strategy and execution of clinical trials. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company
will pay the following (i) AIP $5,000 per month during Phase A period, if the Company receives regulatory approval to manufacture, sell
and distribute products in India or the United States within 60 days of the agreement (ii) AIP $6,000 per month during Phase B period
(iii) AIP a sales commission of between 10% and 15% related to any customers, distributors or sales agents introduced to the Company by
AIP and (iv) a commission of 4% of any proceeds from equity investments to the Company introduced by AIP, or 2% of any loan proceeds from
lenders introduced by AIP.
Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the holder of the
May 10, 2023 convertible note was issued 30,297,790 shares of common stock upon conversion of all $21,300 of principal and $1,278 of accrued
interest.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023 (the “Evaluation Date”). The term “disclosure controls
and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures
of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods 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 by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s
management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of
possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, our management
concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Limitations on Systems of Controls
Our management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent
all error or fraud. A 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource
constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to 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, have been detected. To
address the material weaknesses identified in our evaluation, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an
effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present
in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control
over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management has conducted an assessment, including
testing of the effectiveness, of our internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date. Management’s assessment of
internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013 Framework).

Table of Contents
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies
or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected
on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial
reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of September 30, 2023, management assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)
and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report,
such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described
below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely
affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures
that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: inadequate
segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and, management is dominated by a single individual. The aforementioned material
weaknesses were identified by our Chief Executive Officer in connection with the review of our financial statements as of September 30,
2023.
The Company recognizes the following weaknesses and
deficiencies of the Company as of September 30, 2023:
We recognized the following deficiencies that we believe
to be material weaknesses:
- The Company has not fully designed, implemented
or assessed internal controls over financial reporting. Due to the Company being a development stage company, management’s assessment
and conclusion over internal controls were ineffective this year.
We recognized the following deficiencies that we believe
to be significant deficiencies:
- The Company has no formal control process related
to the identification and approval of related party transactions.
- No formal written policy for the approval, identification
and authorization of related party transactions currently exists.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set
forth above did not have an effect on our financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee
and the lack of a majority of outside directors on our board of directors results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring
of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

Arrangements
There are no arrangements or understandings between
an executive officer, director or nominee and any other person pursuant to which he was or is to be selected as an executive officer or
director.
Committees of the Board of Directors
There are no members of the established Audit Committee.
We do not have a policy regarding the consideration
of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates,
nor have our directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding
the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our
directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies, as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any
candidate to serve on our Board of Directors. Given our relative size and lack of directors and officers insurance coverage, we do not
anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future.
While there have been no nominations of additional
directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our Board will participate in the consideration of director
nominees.
Our directors are not “committee financial experts”
within the meaning of Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K. In general, an “audit committee financial expert” is an individual member
of the audit committee or Board of Directors who:
|
● |
understands generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, |
|
|
|
|
● |
is able to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, |
|
|
|
|
● |
has experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements comparable to the breadth and complexity to our financial statements, |
|
|
|
|
● |
understands internal controls over financial reporting, and |
|
|
|
|
● |
understands audit committee functions |
Our Board of Directors is comprised of Ms. Blankenship
who is involved in our day-to-day operations. On February 23, 2018, the Company was notified that Robert W. Fryer tendered his resignation
as an independent director. We would prefer to have an audit committee financial expert on our board of directors. As with most small,
early-stage companies until such time our company further develops its business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working
capital to purchase directors and officers insurance, the Company does not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors.
When the Company is able to expand our Board of Directors to include one or more independent directors, the Company intends to establish
an Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as

Director Compensation
Directors receive no compensation for serving on the
Board. We have no non-employee directors.
Our Board of Directors is comprised of James C. Katzaroff
who also serves as the CEO of the Company, William Farley and Steven Penderghast. None of our directors has or had a compensation arrangement
with the Company for director services, nor have any of them been compensated for director services since the Company’s inception.
We reimburse our directors for all reasonable ordinary
and necessary business related expenses, but we did not pay director’s fees or other cash compensation for services rendered as
a director in the period ended September 30, 2023 to any of the individuals serving on our Board during that period. We have no standard
arrangement pursuant to which our directors are compensated for their services in their capacity as directors. We may pay fees for services
rendered as a director when and if additional directors are appointed to the Board of Directors.
Director Independence
We currently have two independent directors and we
do not anticipate appointing additional directors in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
We do not currently have a stock option plan in favor
of any director, officer, consultant, or employee of our company. No individual grants of stock options, whether or not in tandem with
stock appreciation rights known as SARs or freestanding SARs have been made to our directors and officer since our inception; accordingly,
no stock options have been granted or exercised by our directors and officer since we were founded.
The following table sets forth certain information
as of January 16, 2023, with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding

all executive officers and directors of the Company as a group, and sets forth the number of shares of common stock owned by each such
