General Overview  

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2009, under the name Mokita Exploration, Ltd. The Company originally intended to develop its business as a mineral exploration company, however, due to the low supply of potentially profitable mining properties, our company abandoned its original plan and restructured its business strategy.  The Company then focused its efforts on developing a business as a provider of credit card payment services for Canadian customers.  To reflect the Company’s new focus, on February 5, 2010, it filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation changing our name to Mokita, Inc.  

 

The board decided to enter the oil and gas industry, seeking out viable options to create value for our shareholders. On July 20, 2011, it filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation changing the name to Mokita Ventures, Inc., to reflect the company’s new business plan.  The name change to Mokita Ventures, Inc. was subsequently rejected by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and accordingly, on May 30, 2013, it filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to restore its name to Mokita, Inc.

 

On February 27, 2014, there was a change of control of the Company. On February 28, 2014, the board of directors and a majority of holders of the Company’s voting securities approved a change of name of the Company to MediJane Holdings Inc. A Certificate of Amendment to effect the change of name was filed and became effective with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 4, 2014.  A Certificate of Correction was subsequently filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 6, 2014 to correct a spelling error in the Company’s new name. These amendments have been reviewed by FINRA and were approved for filing with an effective date of March 10, 2014. The name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on March 10, 2014 under the new ticker symbol “MJMD”.

On March 8, 2017 the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada. As a result of the Amendment, the Company changed its name with the State of Nevada from Medijane Holdings, Inc. to Stem Bioscience, Inc.

 

In May 2018 the Company again changed its name to Phoenix Life Sciences International Limited. A Certificate of Amendment to effect the change of name was filed and became effective with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 31, 2018. The name change was accepted by FINRA and became effective with the Over-the- Counter Bulletin Board on November 2, 2018 with the trading symbol “PLSI”.

 

Our Business

After the change of control on February 27, 2014, the Company became a medical delivery systems company with a pharmaceutical approach to cannabinoid treatment of various illnesses with medical marijuana.

 

License Agreement. On March 14, 2014, the Company entered into a license agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Phoenix Bio Pharm”). Pursuant to the license agreement, Phoenix Bio Pharm has granted to the Company an exclusive license for the territory of North America to exploit all presently owned and after-acquired intellectual property rights and know-how of Phoenix Bio Pharm related to certain medical cannabinoid products and delivery systems for the treatment and management of illnesses.  Products falling under the license will include the following medicinal cannabis products: transdermal patches, orally administered extracts, concentrated extracts for vaporizers and inhalers, sublingual and buccal dispensing products and extraction technology, suppository delivery systems, salves, creams, gels, lotions, and liquid extracts, and any products or active ingredients sourced through Phoenix Bio Pharm affiliates or third party suppliers or licensors.

 

The Company will also have the right to sublicense the rights acquired pursuant to the license agreement and to use and develop copyrighted materials of Phoenix Bio Pharm for marketing and distribution purposes. In consideration of the acquired license, the Company issued 26,000,000 shares of common stock to Phoenix Bio Pharm, valued at $13,000,000 based on a discounted cash flow model and the fair value of the assets acquired in the license agreement.

 

On January 5, 2015, the Company entered into an additional license agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation to expand the territories covered under its original license agreement dated March 14, 2014.  Under the terms of the additional license agreement, the Company acquired the marketing rights to distribute products developed by Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation in Australia and New Zealand for ten years.  In exchange for the license, the Company issued 250,000,000 restricted common shares at $0.016 per common share, for an aggregate value of $4,000,000.  

 

On July 8, 2015, the Company agreed to enter into a new licensing agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation. This new agreement shall replace the previous licensing agreements. The new licensing agreement shall be non-exclusive, CBD only licensing agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation. This license agreement operates for a twenty (20) year period. Phoenix Bio Pharm has granted to the Company a license for the territory of North America, Australia and New Zealand to exploit all presently owned and after-acquired intellectual property rights and know-how of Phoenix Bio Pharm related to CBD based cannabinoid products and delivery systems for the treatment and management of illnesses. Products falling under the license will include the following CBD products: transdermal patches, orally administered extracts, concentrated extracts of vaporizers and inhalers, sublingual and buccal dispensing products and extraction technology, suppository delivery systems, salves, creams, gels, lotions, and liquid extracts, and any product or active ingredients sourced through Phoenix Bio Pharm or third party suppliers or licensors. The Company will also have the right to sublicense the rights acquired pursuant to the license agreement and to use and develop copyrighted materials of Phoenix Bio Pharm for marketing and distribution purposes.

In addition to the new licensing agreement, on July 8, 2015 the Company has entered into an exchange agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharm where all existing common shares held by Phoenix Bio Pharm (276,000,000) are exchanged for 2,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001. These preferred shares are entitled to 100 votes for each share held, and convertible into 100 common shares per preferred share at any time at the discretion of the holder.

 

Subsequently as the Company has failed to meet projected cash flows which underpin the valuation model of the License Agreement. The Company determined that the balance of License Agreement should be impaired. Accordingly a total of $14,014,189 was expensed as an impairment to the License Agreement and paid in capital was reduced by $2,282,132 at year ended February 28, 2015.

 

Products  

The Company is working with physicians, scientists, engineers and other professional in the United States and internationally to formulate a wide range of product delivery systems to assure our products are a precise and safe alternative as a potential treatment for chronic illness.

Each product package shall retail at $50-$75 per package.

 

Medi - Mist Oral S pray. Sublingual sprays provide effective, fact acting cannabinoid delivery because they are generally accepted as allowing direct access to the blood stream. Each spray of MediJane Medi-mist delivers 2.5 mg of cannabinoids. Every patient’s metabolism is different and dosage needs vary. Each bottle shall retail for $45-$60 per bottle.

 

CV Sciences Inc FKA CannaVest Corp.  

On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase $1,200,000 worth of raw material inventory to be obtained from CannaVest Corp. to use in the Company’s cannabidiol product formulations, and a convertible promissory note for $1,200,000 with CannaVest Corp.  The note accrues simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum and is due and payable in six months from the date of issue.  The note cannot be prepaid.  At any time, the outstanding principal amount of this note and all accrued but unpaid interest under this note can be converted into common shares at a price equal to the lesser of $0.02 per common share, the closing sale price, or the average of the lowest closing sale prices of the Company’s common shares during the five trading day period immediately preceding the date of such determination.  Should the Company default on this convertible promissory note, all outstanding obligations payable by the Company are immediately due and payable.  In addition, CannaVest Corp. may exercise any other right, power or remedy permitted by law.  Further, upon even of default, all unpaid obligations under this note shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum.

In connection with the convertible promissory note dated December 23, 2014, the Company subsequently issued warrants to purchase 20,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.02 per common share to Kisha Spendthrift Trust, an affiliate of CannaVest Corp.  These warrants were issued on January 6, 2015.  In exchange for these warrants, the Company shall have access to the technical and management staff of CannaVest Corp. for the development of products to be manufactured from cannabidiol sourced from CannaVest Corp.  

 

On or about January 25, 2016, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Convertible Promissory Note executed by and between the Company and CV Sciences, Inc (FKA Cannavest Corp. and referred to herein as “CVS”) dated December 23, 2014 (the “Note”), whereby the company and CVS agreed to terminate the Note upon the Company’s return of five containers of raw hemp oil to CVS. As of February 29, 2016 four of five containers had been returned to CVS due to quality issues with the product.

 

GoKush

On May 13, 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with South Pacific Resources, Inc., DBA GoKush.com LLC (“GoKush”) that is part of a not-for-profit California Cooperative Corporation that is dedicated to providing safe and legal access to medical marijuana for patients throughout California. Pursuant to the agreement, amongst other things, the Company issued GoKush 200,000 common shares of the Company. GoKush agreed to become the online ordering platform for the ordering and re-stock of the Company’s products in California. As of October 2014, Medi-Strips have been available for sale through the GoKush online ordering system.

 

As consideration of the distribution agreement, the Company issued GoKush 200,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $172,000. The Company was to amortize the cost of the Distribution Agreement over the ten year life beginning October 2014 when on-line sales of product commenced.

 

However the Company was not paid for any sales and as such the Company determined that there is no value in the distribution agreement. Accordingly an impairment of $141,800 of the distribution agreement was made and paid-in capital was reduced by $13,000 for the year ended February 28, 2015.

 

Strategic Alliances

As of February 2016, 28 states plus Washington DC have passed laws for medicinal cannabis use, ranging from cannabidiol (CBD) only to broad spectrum cannabinoid use. In 2012, Colorado and Washington legalized marijuana for recreational use. In 2014, Oregon and Alaska legalized medical marijuana for recreational use.

 

The Company is forming strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical and medical device sales professionals to capitalize on this growing new market.

 

As published by the Huffington Post in November 2013, the medical marijuana market is larger than the smartphone market. The Company believes that the medical marijuana is among one of the fastest-growing markets in the United States. The Company plans to secure a large share of the market place by providing superior products. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/04/marijuana-market_n_4209874.html

 

Industry Analysis  

The health, wellness and cannabinoid industries in the United States have been growing due to a substantial growth in the numbers of states approving the use of medical and adult-use marijuana and cannabinoid products. Additionally, in recent years, several internationally recognized medical journals and medical professionals including CNN’s chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, have published results relating to the use of cannabinoids in the treatment of cancer, childhood seizures, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and pain management. This swell of interest in alternative health and wellness related to the use of cannabinoids is resulting in the establishment of new opportunities across many industries. Individual states have passed legislation for the regulation of medical and recreational use, but the lack of federal mandates has created some uncertainty in the industry.

 

Competitive Analysis  

The health, wellness and cannabinoid industries, specifically in states that have passed medicinal marijuana laws, are rapidly evolving and intensely competitive, and we expect that the competition will intensify in the future. Barriers to entry are minimal. We believe while we currently may have advantages in this market, the growth of this market is able to allow us to take a market share if we can raise sufficient funds to commence full-scale operations. We will compete on the basis of quality and value, whilst leveraging established brands and operators, and through customer preference. Our competitors may be well established, substantially larger and have substantially greater market recognition, greater resources and broader capabilities than we have. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and competitive pressures faced by the Company may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations

Revenue  

The Company will receive revenue from the sales of its licensed products.

 

Government Regulations  

Most countries are parties to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, which governs international trade and domestic control of narcotic substances, including cannabis extracts. Countries may interpret and implement their treaty obligations in a way that creates a legal obstacle to the Company obtaining marketing approval our products in those countries. These countries may not be willing or able to amend or otherwise modify their laws and regulations to permit the products to be marketed, or achieving such amendments to the laws and regulations may take a prolonged period of time.

 

The cannabis industry faces challenges as a result of federal laws which limit and regulate cannabis products and federal tax laws which make it difficult for us to claim deductions on our tax returns. The IRS has been enforcing IRC Sec. 280E, a law from the 1970s that bars tax deductions for business expenses incurred by drug dealers. This law prevents and deduction or credit for any amount paid or incurred during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business if said trade or business consists of trafficking in Schedule I or II controlled substances which is prohibited by federal law or the law of any State in which the trade or business is being conducted. This law was intended to stop drug dealers from claiming tax deductions, but the IRS has stated that it applies to medical marijuana companies as well. The tax court has upheld this interpretation. As a result of this, we may not be able to claim business deductions on our tax returns.

 

Our products contain controlled substances as defined in the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, or CSA. Controlled substances that are pharmaceutical products are subject to a high degree of regulation under the CSA, which establishes, among other things, certain registration, manufacturing quotas, security, recordkeeping, reporting, import, export and other requirements administered by the DEA. The DEA classifies controlled substances into five schedules: Schedule I, II, III, IV or V substances. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, no currently “accepted medical use” in the United States, lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the United States. Pharmaceutical products approved for use in the United States may be listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V, with Schedule II substances considered to present the highest potential for abuse or dependence and Schedule V substances the lowest relative risk of abuse among such substances. Schedule I and II drugs are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA, including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security requirements and criteria for importation. In addition, dispensing of Schedule II drugs is further restricted. For example, they may not be refilled without a new prescription.

 

While cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance, products approved for medical use in the United States that contain cannabis or cannabis extracts if to be approved federally, must be placed in Schedules II—V, since approval by the FDA satisfies the “accepted medical use” requirement. If any proposed products developed receive FDA approval, the DEA will make a scheduling determination and place it in a schedule other than Schedule I in order for it to be prescribed to patients in the United States. Consequently, its manufacture, importation, exportation, domestic distribution, storage, sale and legitimate use will be subject to a significant degree of regulation by the DEA. Our failure to comply with these regulations could result in the loss of our DEA registration, civil penalties or criminal prosecution. In addition, the scheduling process may take one or more years, thereby delaying the launch of any product in the United States. Furthermore, if the FDA, DEA, or any foreign regulatory authority determines that any product may have potential for abuse, it may require us to generate more clinical or other data than we currently anticipate to establish whether or to what extent the substance has an abuse potential, which could increase the cost and/or delay the launch of any proposed product. Our products are federally considered a Schedule 1 controlled substance. As a result, we only sell our products within states that have passed marijuana laws allowing for the sale of Schedule 1 products.

Facilities conducting research, manufacturing, distributing, importing or exporting, or dispensing controlled substances must be registered (licensed) to perform these activities and have the security, control, recordkeeping, reporting and inventory mechanisms required by the DEA to prevent drug loss and diversion. All these facilities must renew their registrations annually, except dispensing facilities, which must renew every three years. The DEA conducts periodic inspections of certain registered establishments that handle controlled substances. Obtaining the necessary registrations may result in delay of the importation, manufacturing or distribution of any products. Furthermore, failure to maintain compliance with the CSA, particularly non-compliance resulting in loss or diversion, can result in regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The DEA may seek civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or initiate proceedings to restrict, suspend or revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal proceedings.

 

Individual states have also established controlled substance laws and regulations. Though state-controlled substances laws often mirror federal law, because the states are separate jurisdictions, they may separately schedule any product candidates as well. While some states automatically schedule a drug based on federal action, other states schedule drugs through rulemaking or a legislative action. State scheduling may delay commercial sale of any product for which we obtain federal regulatory approval and adverse scheduling could have a material adverse effect on the commercial attractiveness of such product. We or our partners must also obtain separate state registrations, permits or licenses in order to be able to obtain, handle, and distribute controlled substances for clinical trials or commercial sale, and failure to meet applicable regulatory requirements could lead to enforcement and sanctions by the states in addition to those from the DEA or otherwise arising under federal law.

 

Because some of the proposed products contain cannabis extracts, which are Schedule I substances, to conduct clinical trials in the United States prior to approval, each of the research sites must submit a research protocol to the DEA and obtain and maintain a DEA researcher registration that will allow those sites to handle and dispense the products and to obtain the product from our importer. If the DEA delays or denies the grant of a research registration to one or more research sites, the clinical trial could be significantly delayed, and the clinical trial sites could be lost. The importer for the clinical trials must also obtain a Schedule I importer registration and an import permit for each import.

 

If a product is approved and classified as a Schedule II or III substance, an importer can import for commercial purposes if it obtains an importer registration and files an application for an import permit for each import. The DEA provides annual assessments/estimates to the International Narcotics Control Board that guides the DEA in the amounts of controlled substances that the DEA authorizes to be imported. The failure to identify an importer or obtain the necessary import authority, including specific quantities, could affect the availability of proposed products and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, an application for a Schedule II importer registration must be published in the Federal Register, and there is a waiting period for third party comments to be submitted.

 

If a product is approved and classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, federal law may prohibit the import of the substance for commercial purposes. If a product is listed as a Schedule II substance, the manufacturer will not be allowed to import the drug for commercial purposes unless the DEA determines that domestic supplies are inadequate or there is inadequate domestic competition among domestic manufacturers for the substance as defined by the DEA. Moreover, Schedule I controlled substances have never been registered with the DEA for importation commercial purposes, only for scientific and research needs. Therefore, if neither a product could be imported, a product would have to be wholly manufactured in the United States, and we would need to secure a manufacturer that would be required to obtain and maintain a separate DEA registration for that activity If, because of a Schedule II classification or voluntarily, a project developer were to conduct manufacturing or repackaging/relabeling in the United States, they would be subject to the DEA’s annual manufacturing and procurement quota requirements. Additionally, regardless of the scheduling of any product, cannabis comprising the active ingredient in the final dosage form are currently Schedule I controlled substances and would be subject to such quotas as these substances could remain listed on Schedule I. The annual quota allocated to us or our contract manufacturers for the active ingredient in any product may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials. Consequently, any delay or refusal by the DEA in establishing our, or our contract manufacturers’, procurement and/or production quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials or product launches, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and operations.

If a product is scheduled as Schedule II or III, we would also need to identify wholesale distributors with the appropriate DEA registrations and authority to distribute the product to pharmacies and other health care providers. We would need to identify distributors to distribute the product to pharmacies; these distributors would need to obtain Schedule II or III distribution registrations. The failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining, or the loss any of those registrations could result in increased costs to us. If a product is a Schedule II drug, pharmacies would have to maintain enhanced security with alarms and monitoring systems and they must adhere to recordkeeping and inventory requirements. This, coupled with the fact that a product must be refrigerated, may discourage some pharmacies from carrying the product. Furthermore, state and federal enforcement actions, regulatory requirements, and legislation intended to reduce prescription drug abuse, such as the requirement that physicians consult a state prescription drug monitoring program may make physicians less willing to prescribe, and pharmacies to dispense, Schedule II products.

 

Employees

The Company has three (3) part-time employees in addition to, Lewis Humer, the interim Chief Executive Officer and Russell Stone, the Chief Operating Officer, and the interim Chief Financial Officer.

Our headquarters are located at 3000 Lawrence Street, Denver, CO 80205. Our telephone number is (720) 699-7222. We believe that this location will meet our requirements for the foreseeable future.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Our business will be subject to numerous risk factors, including the following:

 

1.        Health, wellness and cannabinoid industry investing is highly speculative and there can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve profitable operations.

 

The Company intends to engage in the health, wellness and cannabinoid industry that is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Cannabinoids are a class of diverse chemical compounds that act on cannabinoid receptors on cells that repress neurotransmitter release in the brain. The health, wellness and cannabinoid industries are speculative and are significantly affected by changes in economic and other conditions, such as:

 

employment levels;

construction costs;

climate conditions;

natural disaster;

acts of war;

availability of financing;

local and national economics;

interest rates; and

consumer confidence.

 

10  

 

 

These factors can negatively affect the demand for and pricing of the Company’s projects and margin on sale. The Company is also subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to:

 

changes in governmental regulations

increases or decreases in harvesting production

labor strikes

changes in the health, wellness and cannabinoid industries and government policy; and

distribution costs

 

2.       We cannot offer any assurance as to our future financial results. We have received a going concern opinion from our auditors. You may lose your entire investment.

 

Our independent auditors have included in their audit report, included with this prospectus, an explanatory note regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. At this current time, we cannot predict with assurance the potential success of our business. This increases the risk that we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

 

2.       The Company is dependent on the services of certain key employees and the loss of their services could harm the Company’s business.

 

The Company’s success largely depends on the continuing services of its officers, and there is presently no key man insurance policy on either officer.

 

3.       Our future success depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain management, operations and technical personnel.

 

Recruiting and retaining capable personnel, particularly those with expertise in the health, wellness and cannabinoid industries, are vital to our success. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified associates, our business may be materially and adversely affected. 


 

4.       Our control shareholders may effectively exercise control over matters requiring shareholder approval.

 

Caduceus Industries LLC and Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Colorado corporation, beneficially directly or indirectly own or control approximately 45% of our outstanding common shares. They effectively have the power to elect all of the directors and control the management, operations and affairs of the Company. Their ownership may discourage someone from making a significant equity investment in the Company, even if we needed the investment to operate our business. Their holdings could be a significant factor in delaying or preventing a change of control transaction that other shareholders may deem to be in their best interests, such as a transaction in which the other shareholders would receive a premium for their shares over their current trading prices.

 

5.       We will be subject to risks generally incident to the health, wellness and cannabinoid industry industries. We may never be profitable.

 

We will be subject to the risks generally incident to the health, wellness and cannabinoid industries, including: uncertainty of cash flow to meet fixed and other obligations; adverse changes in local market conditions, population trends, neighborhood values, community conditions, general economic conditions, local employment conditions, interest rates, and real estate tax rates; changes in fiscal policies; changes in applicable laws and regulations (including tax laws); uninsured losses and other risks that are beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance of profitable operations. Moreover, although we expect to obtain insurance to cover most casualty losses and general liability arising from sale of our products, no insurance will be available to cover cash deficits from ongoing operations.

 

11  

 

 

6.       Our products are subject to U.S. controlled substance laws and regulations and failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations, may adversely affect the results of our business operations, both during clinical development and post approval, and our financial condition.

 

Our products contain controlled substances as defined in the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, or CSA. Controlled substances that are pharmaceutical products are subject to a high degree of regulation under the CSA, which establishes, among other things, certain registration, manufacturing quotas, security, recordkeeping, reporting, import, export and other requirements administered by the DEA. The DEA classifies controlled substances into five schedules: Schedule I, II, III, IV or V substances. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, are not currently recognized as “accepted medical use” in the United States, lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the United States. Pharmaceutical products approved for use in the United States may be listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V, with Schedule II substances considered to present the highest potential for abuse or dependence and Schedule V substances the lowest relative risk of abuse among such substances. Schedule I and II drugs are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA, including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security requirements and criteria for importation. In addition, dispensing of Schedule II drugs is further restricted. For example, they may not be refilled without a new prescription. Our products are federally considered a Schedule 1 controlled substance. As a result, we only sell our products within states that have passed marijuana laws allowing for the sale of Schedule 1 products.

 

While cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance, products approved for medical use in the United States that contain cannabis or cannabis extracts may be required to be placed in Schedules II—V, since approval by the FDA satisfies the “accepted medical use” requirement. If any proposed products developed receive FDA approval, the DEA will make a scheduling determination and place it in a schedule other than Schedule I in order for it to be prescribed to patients in the United States. Consequently, its manufacture, importation, exportation, domestic distribution, storage, sale and legitimate use may be subject to a significant degree of regulation by the DEA. Our failure to comply with these regulations could result in the loss of our DEA registration, civil penalties or criminal prosecution. In addition, the scheduling process may take one or more years, thereby delaying the launch of any product in the United States. Furthermore, if the FDA, DEA, or any foreign regulatory authority determines that any product may have potential for abuse, it may require us to generate more clinical or other data than we currently anticipate to establish whether or to what extent the substance has an abuse potential, which could increase the cost and/or delay the launch of any proposed product.

 

The DEA, and some states, also conduct periodic inspections of registered establishments that handle controlled substances. Facilities that conduct research, manufacture, store, distribute, import or export controlled substances must be registered to perform these activities and have the security, control and inventory mechanisms required by the DEA to prevent drug loss and diversion. Failure to maintain compliance, particularly non-compliance resulting in loss or diversion, can result in regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. The DEA may seek civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or initiate proceedings to revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal proceedings.

 

12  

 

 

7.       Compliance with DEA registration and inspection of facilities could negatively affect our operations.

 

Facilities conducting research, manufacturing, distributing, importing or exporting, or dispensing controlled substances must be registered (licensed) to perform these activities and have the security, control, recordkeeping, reporting and inventory mechanisms required by the DEA or other state reporting agency to prevent drug loss and diversion. All these facilities must renew their registrations annually, except dispensing facilities, which must renew every three years. The DEA conducts periodic inspections of certain registered establishments that handle controlled substances. Obtaining the necessary registrations may result in delay of the importation, manufacturing or distribution of any products.

 

Furthermore, failure to maintain compliance with the CSA, particularly non-compliance resulting in loss or diversion, can result in regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The DEA may seek civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or initiate proceedings to restrict, suspend or revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal proceedings.

 

8.       Compliance with state-controlled substances laws could negatively affect our operations.

 

Individual states have also established controlled substance laws and regulations. Though state-controlled substances laws often mirror federal law, because the states are separate jurisdictions, they may separately schedule any product candidates as well. While some states automatically schedule a drug based on federal action, other states schedule drugs through rulemaking or a legislative action. State scheduling may delay commercial sale of any product for which we obtain federal regulatory approval and adverse scheduling could have a material adverse effect on the commercial attractiveness of such product. We or our partners must also obtain separate state registrations, permits or licenses in order to be able to obtain, handle, and distribute controlled substances for clinical trials or commercial sale, and failure to meet applicable regulatory requirements could lead to enforcement and sanctions by the states in addition to those from the DEA or otherwise arising under federal law.

 

9.       Clinical trials are subject to DEA registration and approval.    Any delays or denials could negatively affect operations.

 

Because the proposed products of our project developers contain cannabis extracts, which are Schedule I substances, to conduct clinical trials in the United States prior to approval, each of the research sites must submit a research protocol to the DEA and obtain and maintain a DEA researcher registration that will allow those sites to handle and dispense the products and to obtain the product from a supplier. If the DEA delays or denies the grant of a research registration to one or more research sites, the clinical trial could be significantly delayed, and the clinical trial sites could be lost. The supplier for the clinical trials must also obtain a Schedule I registration.

 

10.       Manufacture in the United States may be subject to the DEA’s annual manufacturing and procurements quota requirements.   

 

If, because of a Schedule II classification or voluntarily, a project developer were to conduct manufacturing or repackaging/relabeling in the United States, they would be subject to the DEA’s annual manufacturing and procurement quota requirements. Additionally, regardless of the scheduling of any product, cannabis comprising the active ingredient in the final dosage form are currently Schedule I controlled substances and would be subject to such quotas as these substances could remain listed on Schedule I. The annual quota allocated to us or our contract manufacturers for the active ingredient in any product may not be sufficient to meet commercial demand or complete clinical trials. Consequently, any delay or refusal by the DEA in establishing our, or our contract manufacturers’, procurement and/or production quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials or product launches, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and operations.

 

13  

 

 

11.       Distribution in the United States requires DEA registration and authority that could be time-consuming and costly.

 

If a product is scheduled as Schedule II or III, we would also need to identify wholesale distributors with the appropriate DEA registrations and authority to distribute the product to pharmacies and other health care providers. We would need to identify distributors to distribute the product to pharmacies; these distributors would need to obtain Schedule II or III distribution registrations. The failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining, or the loss any of those registrations could result in increased costs to us. If a product is a Schedule II drug, pharmacies would have to maintain enhanced security with alarms and monitoring systems and they must adhere to recordkeeping and inventory requirements. This, coupled with the fact that a product must be refrigerated, may discourage some pharmacies from carrying the product. Furthermore, state and federal enforcement actions, regulatory requirements, and legislation intended to reduce prescription drug abuse, such as the requirement that physicians consult a state prescription drug monitoring program may make physicians less willing to prescribe, and pharmacies to dispense, Schedule II products.

 

12.       Lack of diversification could result in additional risk exposure.

 

As the Company expects to sell its products primarily in target markets, the Company may be unable to achieve optimal diversification to properly hedge the Company’s risk exposure to the asset class. If one or more of these markets experiences an economic downturn or suffers from a catastrophic natural disaster, such as a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, tidal wave, tropical storm, flood, mudslide or severe erosion or accretion, the value of the Company’s assets may decrease rapidly. Declines in the health, wellness and cannabinoid industries markets in any of the target markets may reduce the returns on investment.

 

13.       Acts of terrorism could have a negative effect on the valuation of our investments.

 

The impact on economic conditions of terrorist attacks or the outbreak or escalation of armed conflict involving the United States may have an adverse impact on interest rates, the availability of financing, raw materials, oil, gas, electricity, water, energy or other factors. These events could reduce the value of the Company’s assets.

 

14.       The Company has limited financial resources and has not received significant revenues from operations.

 

The Company has limited financial resources, and its business is subject to significant risks and competition. The Company’s profitability may be diminished if it incurs significant operating losses or become subject to significant liabilities that impede their operational efficiency.

 

15.       Our inability to obtain adequate insurance could subject us to additional risk of loss or additional expenses.

 

The Company may not be able to obtain adequate insurance with respect to the Company’s products, or may not be able to obtain insurance on reasonable terms. Failure to obtain insurance or the excessive costs of insurance may expose the Company to additional risk of loss or additional expenses to which it would not otherwise be subject.

 

16.       An inability to maintain sufficient reserves could result in additional debt borrowings and negatively affect the operations of the Company.

 

A portion of the Company’s gross income may be held as working capital reserves to meet the Company’s expenses. Such expenses include those related to the sale and distribution of our products, management and the preparation of income tax information. To the extent that such reserves prove inadequate to defray the Company’s costs and expenses or unanticipated costs and expenses, it could be necessary for the Company to attempt to borrow additional funds. In the event such financing is not available on acceptable terms, management may, although is not required to, advance such sums, or the Company could be required to liquidate one or more of its investments, which might not be on terms favorable to the Company.

 

14  

 

 

17.       If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit the commercialization of our products.

 

We face potential product liability exposure in jurisdictions where we market and distribute our products. We may face exposure to claims by an even greater number of persons if we begin marketing and distributing our products commercially in the United States and elsewhere, including those relating to misuse of our products. Now, and in the future, an individual may bring a liability claim against us alleging that one of our products caused an injury. While we continue to take what we believe are appropriate precautions, we may be unable to avoid significant liability if any product liability lawsuit is brought against us. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, or if our insurance coverage is inadequate, we will incur substantial liabilities. Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 

decreased demand for our products;

injury to our reputation;

withdrawal of clinical trial participants;

costs of related litigation;

substantial monetary awards to patients and others;

increased cost of liability insurance;

loss of revenue; and

the inability to successfully commercialize our products.

 

Risks Associated with our Common Stock

 

18.       There is only a limited trading market for our common stock and if an active market for our common stock does not develop, our investors will be unable to sell their shares.

 

There is currently only a limited trading market for our common stock and such a market may not develop or be sustained. If an active public market for our common stock does not develop, then shareholders may not be able to resell the common shares that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.

 

If we establish an active trading market for our common stock, the market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by factors such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operation results, general market conditions and other factors. In addition, the stock market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices for the shares of exploration stage companies, which may affect the market price of our common stock in a materially adverse manner.

 

15  

 

 

Currently, our stock prices are quoted on the OTC market. The OTC market tends to be highly illiquid, in part because there is no national quotation system by which potential investors can track the market price of shares except through information received or generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make markets in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of market volatility for securities that trade on the OTC market as opposed to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including:

 

a. The lack of readily available price quotations;

b. The absence of consistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask” quotations;

c. Lower trading volume; and

d. Market conditions.

 

In a volatile market, you may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have an extremely negative effect on the market price of our securities and may prevent you from obtaining a market price equal to your purchase price when you attempt to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, you may be required to either sell our securities at a market price which is lower than your purchase price, or to hold our securities for a longer period of time than you planned.

 

19.       We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.

 

20.       We may in the future issue additional common shares that would reduce a shareholder’s ownership interest in our company and which may dilute their share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000,000 common shares, par value $0.001 per common share. The future issuance of all or part of our remaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

 

21.       FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

FINRA has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.

 

Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

 

22.       We will incur increased costs and demands upon management as a result of complying with the laws and regulations affecting public companies, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

 

As a public Company, we will incur legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private Company, including costs associated with public Company reporting and corporate governance requirements. These requirements include compliance with Section 404 and other provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as rules implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable securities or exchange-related rules and regulations. In addition, our management team will also have to adapt to the requirements of being a public Company. We expect complying with these rules and regulations will substantially increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

 

16  

 

 

The increased costs associated with operating as a public Company will decrease our net income or increase our net loss, and may require us to reduce costs in other areas of our business or increase the prices of our products or services. Additionally, if these requirements divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

23.       We may need additional capital in the future, which may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all, and may dilute your ownership of our common stock.

 

We have historically relied on outside financing and cash from operations to fund our operations, capital expenditures and expansion. We may require additional capital from equity or debt financing in the future to:

 

a) fund our operations;

b) respond to competitive pressures;

c) take advantage of strategic opportunities, including more rapid expansion of our business or the acquisition of complementary products, technologies or businesses; and

d) develop new products or enhancements to existing products.

 

We may not be able to secure timely additional financing on favorable terms, or at all. The terms of any additional financing may place limits on our financial and operating flexibility. If we raise additional funds through issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of the Company, and any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, if and when we require it, our ability to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

 

24.       We may expand through acquisitions of, or investments in, other companies or through business relationships, all of which may result in additional dilution to our stockholders and consumption of resources that are necessary to sustain our business.

 

One of our business strategies is to acquire competing or complementary services, technologies or businesses. In connection with one or more of those transactions, we may:

 

a) issue additional equity securities that would dilute our stockholders;

b) use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;

c) incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;

d) incur large charges or substantial liabilities;

e) encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company or

f) integrating diverse business cultures;

g) become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation charges; and

h) encounter unfavorable reactions from investment banking market analysts who disapprove of our completed acquisitions.

 

17  

 

 

25.       United States state securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.

 

Secondary trading in securities sold in this offering will not be possible in any state in the U.S. unless and until the common shares are qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in registering or qualifying our securities for secondary trading, or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our securities in every state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the securities in any particular state, the securities could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our securities, the market for our securities could be adversely affected.

As at February 29, 2016, Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation had been issued 2,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares. YP Holdings, LLC had been issued 1,000,000 Series C Preferred Shares. but had converted 2,000 into common shares and therefore owned 998,000 Series C Preferred Shares.

 

Dividend Policy  

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since inception and presently anticipate that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business and that no dividends on our common stock will be declared in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on our common stock will be paid in the future.

On June 9, 2014, the board of directors approved the issuance of options to purchase 5,000,000 common shares to Ron Lusk, an officer and director at the option exercise price of $0.34 per common share with an effective date of February 27, 2013, the date the board of directors authorized the issuance of 5,000,000 common shares to Mr. Lusk. Said common share issuance was subsequently unwound and the common shares are in the process of being cancelled. On September 17, 2014, Mr. Lusk resigned from his position of CEO and as a director on February 18, 2015. Pursuant to Mr. Lusk’s stock option agreement, the vested options issued and outstanding as of date of resignation were exercisable for one-year. Mr. Lusk did not exercise his options prior to February 18, 2016 and accordingly the options were cancelled on February 27, 2016.

 

Purchase of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers  

We did not purchase any of our shares of common stock or other securities during our fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended February 29, 2016.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

 

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes for the years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

 

Our audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

 

Sales Revenue for the year ended February 29, 2016 was 18,410 and Cost of Sales 11,590.

 

Product development expense for the year ended February 29, 2016 was $120,604.

 

Sales and marketing expenses for the year ended February 29, 2016 were $14,953. Sales and marketing expenses represent costs of the selling team, infrastructure and consultant costs in developing products for sale.

 

Operations expenses for the year ended February 29, 2016 were $3,049.

 

General and administrative expenses for the year ended February 29, 2016 were $33,613. General and administrative expenses generally include costs for running the Company’s administrative office.

 

Professional fees for the year ended February 29, 2016 were $329,975. Professional fees consist of cost of financing, legal, accounting, consulting and advisory services.

 

21  

 

 

Lease operating expenses for the year ended February 29, 2016 totaled $7,500, respectively.

 

Other income and expense for the year ended February 29, 2016 totaled net expenses of $290,603 primarily representing interest expense of $173,763 and loss on a derivative liability of $227,644, partially offset by a gain on debt of $127,310.

 

Net loss for the year ended February 29, 2016, totaled $787,819

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon the commencement of the sale of our products and obtaining financing to increase the production and development of our products. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources  

At February 29, 2016, the Company had a cash balance of $7,951 compared with $9,400 at February 28, 2015.  The decrease in cash was cash used for operating expenses.

 

We believe that our cash on hand may not be sufficient for continued operations and may have to seek out additional funding to meet our inventory and operational needs. We are currently seeking financing opportunities in the form of equity and/or debt financing to support our operational goals.

 

Cash flow from Operating Activities . During the year ended February 29, 2016, Company used $62,278 for operating activities.

 

Cash flow from Investing Activities. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company received $8,770 from investing activities, representing repayments of its related party loan to Phoenix Pharms Capital.

 

Cash flow from Financing Activities. During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company received a net amount of $51,669 from financing activities related proceeds from notes payable.

 

Going Concern  

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon the commencement of the sale of our products and obtaining financing to increase the production and development of our products. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Future Financings  

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements  

We have no significant 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 are material to stockholders.

 

Critical Accounting Policies  

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

22  

 

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

A significant item that requires management’s estimates and assumptions is the estimate of proved oil reserves which are used in the calculation of depletion, impairment of its properties and asset retirement obligations. Other items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, valuation allowances for income taxes, valuation of derivatives instruments and accrued liabilities, among others. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Stock-based Compensation. The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,  Compensation – Stock Based Compensation  and ASC 505-50 -  Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees . All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. Up-front engagement fees are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal. Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in an agreement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreement when they represent the culmination of the earnings process.

 

The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured. Significant management judgment and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

 

23  

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements  

The recent accounting pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Contractual Obligations  

As a “smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.

AUDIT REPORT

 

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors
Phoenix Life Sciences International (formerly Medijane Holdings Inc.)

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Phoenix Life Sciences International (formerly MediJane Holdings Inc.) as of February 28, 2016 and 2015 , and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Phoenix Life Sciences International (formerly MediJane Holdings Inc.) as of February 28, 2016 and 2015 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has significant net losses and cash flow deficiencies. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PHOENIX LIFE SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL LIMITED 

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

 

The company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 21, 2009 under the name Mokita Exploration, Ltd. (the “Company”). On February 27, 2014, there was a change of control of the Company. On February 28, 2014, the board of directors and a majority of holders of the Company’s voting securities approved a change of name of the Company to MediJane Holdings Inc. A Certificate of Amendment to effect the change of name was filed and became effective with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 4, 2014.  A Certificate of Correction was subsequently filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on March 6, 2014 to correct a spelling error in the Company’s new name. These amendments have been reviewed by FINRA and were approved for filing with an effective date of March 12, 2014. The name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on March 12, 2014 under our new ticker symbol “MJMD”.

 

On March 8, 2017 the Company filed an Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the “Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of Nevada. As a result of the Amendment, the Company changed its name with the State of Nevada from Medijane Holdings, Inc. to Stem Bioscience, Inc.

 

In May 2018 the Company again changed its name to Phoenix Life Sciences International Limited. A Certificate of Amendment to effect the change of name was filed and became effective with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 31, 2018. The name change was accepted by FINRA and became effective with the Over-the- Counter Bulletin Board on November 2, 2018 with the trading symbol “PLSI”.

 

On February 27, 2014, after the change of control, the Company became a sales and distribution company focused on cannabinoid infused products for the treatment of medical conditions.

 

On January 5, 2015, the Company underwent a change in control following the issuance of 276,000,000 common shares to Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation pursuant to a license agreement. On November 4, 2015, these shares were exchanged for 2,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares.

 

The business was then changed to only focus on Cannabidiol (CBD) products. CBD is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid that is not restricted as part of the U.S. Controlled Substances Act (CSA), as defined under the 2014 U.S Farming Bill to be derivatives of the Industrial Hemp plant that contains less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The company may contract out the manufacturing of the products..

 

On October 10, 2018, the Company announced it had received approval from the Vanuatu Investment Promotion Authority (VIPA) to establish operations in the Republic of Vanuatu and manufacture botanical pharmaceutical products.

 

Going Concern

 

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s total operating expenditure plan for the following twelve months will require significant cash resources to meet the goals of its business plan. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is February 28 or 29.

 

Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements of the accounts of Phoenix Life Sciences International Limited. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

   

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

F- 7  

 

 

Other items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of valuation of derivatives instruments and accrued liabilities, among others. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

 

Accounts receivable - Accounts receivable consists of trade accounts arising in the normal course of business. No interest is charged on past due accounts. Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less a reserve for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share - The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260,  Earnings per Share . ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At February 29, 2016 the Company had no outstanding stock options. At February 28, 2016 and 2015, the Company had did not have potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

 

Financial Instruments - Pursuant to ASC 820,  Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures , an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 - Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 - Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties, and convertible debenture. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of the financial instruments is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.  

 

F- 8  

 

 

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks.

 

The Company reviews the terms of the common stock, warrants and convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

 

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. The Company uses a Black-Scholes model for valuation of the derivative. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value.

 

The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense, using the effective interest method.

 

Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether net cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within the 12 months of the balance sheet date.

 

Comprehensive Loss - ASC 220,  Comprehensive Income , establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

 

Stock-based Compensation - - The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,  Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505-50 -  Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees . All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

The fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which are determined at the beginning of each year and utilized in all calculations for that year:

 

Risk-Free Interest Rate.  We utilized the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant with a term consistent with the expected term of our awards.  

 

Expected Volatility.  We calculate the expected volatility based on a volatility index of peer companies as we did not have sufficient historical market information to estimate the volatility of our own stock. 

 

Dividend Yield.  We have not declared a dividend on its common stock since its inception and have no intentions of declaring a dividend in the foreseeable future and therefore used a dividend yield of zero.

 

Expected Term.  The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding.  We estimated the expected term of stock options by using the simplified method.  For warrants, the expected term represents the actual term of the warrant.

 

Forfeitures.  Estimates of option forfeitures are based on our experience. We will adjust our estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.

 

F- 9  

 

  

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the sale is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the sale is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a sale is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the sale as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable.

 

The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured. Significant management judgment and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

 

Shipping and Handling costs — shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales in the Statements of Operations.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements - The recent accounting pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported losses, total assets or stockholders equity.

 

3. Variable Interest Entity

 

The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification of ASC 810 Consolidation” which indicates “a legal entity that is deemed to be a business need not be evaluated by a reporting entity to determine if the legal entity is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”)” unless any one of four conditions exist: 

 

- The reporting entity, its related parties, or both participated significantly in the design or redesign of the legal entity;
- The legal entity is designed so that substantially all of its activities involve or are conducted on behalf of the reporting entity and its related parties;
- The reporting entity and its related parties provide more than half of the total of the equity, subordinated debt, and other forms of subordinated financial support to the legal entity; or
- The activities of the legal entity are primarily related to the securitizations or other forms of asset-backed financings or single-lessee leasing arrangements.

 

 A VIE is an entity that either (a) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or (b) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If we determine that we have operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, we consolidate the VIE as the primary beneficiary, and if not, we do not consolidate. The Company has not identified any VIEs as of February 29, 2016.

 

4. Intangible Assets

 

Effective September 1, 2014, the Company changed its method of computing amortization from a sales percentage method to the straight-line method for the intangible assets. An assessment of useful life and / or discounted cash flow of the intangible asset is made and where the value is overstated the value is impaired.

 

F- 10  

 

 

5. Income Taxes

 

The deferred tax assets or liabilities represent the future tax benefits or cost of those differences. The Company’s principal deferred tax items arise from net operating losses. Net operating losses approximate $18,800,000 which expire in the years 2030 through 2036. The net operating loss results in a deferred tax asset of $2,820,000. As future earnings are uncertain, the Company has provided a valuation allowance for the entire amount of the deferred tax asset.

 

The Company is required to evaluate the tax positions taken in the course of preparing its tax returns to determine whether tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority “More likely than not” is defined as greater than a 50% chance. The Company is delinquent on nearly all of its tax filings. As a result, there are presently no uncertain tax position and no reserves for uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015. The Company’s income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities. Due to the failure to file its tax returns, all prior tax years are open to examination. The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision and would include accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the balance sheet. There were no interest and penalties paid or accrued during the years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015.

 

6. License Agreement - Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

On March 14, 2014, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Phoenix Bio Pharm”) where Phoenix Bio Pharm has granted exclusive rights to the Company for North America to exploit all presently owned and after-acquired intellectual property rights and know-how of Phoenix Bio Pharm for certain medical cannabinoid products and delivery systems for the treatment and management of illnesses. The term of the License Agreement is Ten (10) years. In consideration of the acquired license, the Company issued 26,000,000 shares of common stock to Phoenix Bio Pharm, valued at $13,000,000 based the fair value of the assets acquired in the license agreement. The Company planned to amortize the cost of the License Agreement over the ten year life.

 

On January 5, 2015, the Company entered into an additional license agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation to expand the territories covered under its original license agreement dated March 14, 2014.  Under the terms of the additional license agreement, the Company acquired the marketing rights to distribute products developed by Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation in Australia and New Zealand for ten years.  In exchange for the license, the Company has issued 250,000,000 restricted common shares at $0.016 per common share, for an aggregate value of $4,000,000.  This amount represents 33% over the market value on the date of execution of the license agreement being $3,000,000.

 

On July 8, 2015, the Company agreed to enter into a new licensing agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation. This new agreement shall replace the previous licensing agreements. The new licensing agreement shall be non-exclusive, CBD only licensing agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation. This license agreement operates for a twenty (20) year period. Phoenix Bio Pharm has granted to the Company a license for the territory of North America, Australia and New Zealand to exploit all presently owned and after-acquired intellectual property rights and know-how of Phoenix Bio Pharm related to CBD based cannabinoid products and delivery systems for the treatment and management of illnesses. Products falling under the license will include the following CBD products: transdermal patches, orally administered extracts, concentrated extracts of vaporizers and inhalers, sublingual and buccal dispensing products and extraction technology, suppository delivery systems, salves, creams, gels, lotions, and liquid extracts, and any product or active ingredients sourced through Phoenix Bio Pharm or third party suppliers or licensors. The Company will also have the right to sublicense the rights acquired pursuant to the license agreement and to use and develop copyrighted materials of Phoenix Bio Pharm for marketing and distribution purposes.

 

In addition to the new licensing agreement, on July 8, 2015 the Company has entered into an exchange agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharm where all existing common shares held by Phoenix Bio Pharm (276,000,000) are exchanged for 2,000,000 Series B Preferred Shares, par value $0.0001. These preferred shares were entitled to 100 votes for each share held, and convertible into 100 common shares per preferred share at any time at the discretion of the holder. These preferred shares were cancelled on September 22, 2018.

 

F- 11  

 

 

Subsequently as the Company has failed to meet projected cash flows which underpin the valuation model of the License Agreement, the Company determined that the balance of License Agreement should be impaired. Accordingly a total of $14,014,189 was expensed as an impairment to the License Agreement and paid in capital was reduced by $2,282,112 at year ended February 28, 2015.

 

7. Distribution Agreement – Go Kush, Inc.

 

On May 13, 2014, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with GoKush.com (www.gokush.com) that is part of a not-for-profit California Cooperative Corporation that is dedicated to providing safe and legal access to medical marijuana for patients throughout California. Pursuant to the Agreement, amongst other things, GoKush agreed to become the online ordering platform for the ordering and re-stock of the Company’s products in California for a ten (10) year term and the Company has issued GoKush 200,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock valued at $172,000. The Company will amortize the cost of the Distribution Agreement over the ten year life beginning October 2014 when on-line sales of product commenced.

 

However the Company was not paid for any sales and as such the Company determined that there is no value in the distribution agreement. Accordingly an impairment of $141,800 of the distribution agreement was made and paid-in capital was reduced by $13,000 at year ended February 28, 2015.

 

8. CV Sciences, Inc. FKA CannaVest Corp.

 

On December 23, 2014, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note for $1,200,000 with CannaVest Corp.  The note represents $1,200,000 worth of raw material inventory to be obtained from CannaVest Corp. to use in the Company’s cannabidiol product formulations.  The note accrues simple interest at a rate of 10% per annum and is due and payable in six months from the date of issue.  The note cannot be prepaid.  At any time, the outstanding principal amount of this note and all accrued but unpaid interest under this note can be converted into common shares at a price equal to the lesser of $0.02 per common share, the closing sale price, or the average of the lowest closing sale prices of the Company’s common shares during the five trading day period immediately preceding the date of such determination.  

 

Should the Company default on this convertible promissory note, all outstanding obligations payable by the Company are immediately due and payable.  In addition, CannaVest Corp. may exercise any other right, power or remedy permitted by law.  Further, upon even of default, all unpaid obligations under this note shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per annum.

 

Warrant Agreement

 

In connection with the convertible promissory note dated December 23, 2014, the Company subsequently issued warrants to purchase 20,000,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.02 per common share to Kisha Spendthrift Trust, an affiliate of CannaVest Corp.  These warrants were issued on January 6, 2015.  In exchange for these warrants, the Company shall have access to the technical and management staff of CannaVest Corp. for the development of products to be manufactured from cannabidiol sourced from CannaVest Corp.  The Company has valued these warrants using the black scholes option pricing model at $197,663 and will record the expense related to the warrants in its fourth fiscal quarter of 2014.

 

On or about January 25, 2016, the Company entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Convertible Promissory Note executed by and between the Company and CV Sciences, Inc (FKA Cannavest Corp. and referred to herein as “CVS”) dated December 23, 2014 (the “Note”), whereby the company and CVS agreed to terminate the Note upon the Company’s return of five containers of raw hemp oil to CVS. As of February 29, 2016 four of five containers had been returned to CVS, as the inventory did not meet quality standards and was returned for a reduction of the note balance.

 

It was determined that the remaining inventory should be written off as at February 29, 2016.

Under this agreement, the Company has issued a secured convertible promissory note in the original principal amount of $1,105,000, deliverable in eleven tranches (the “Typenex Note”). On the closing date, Typenex delivered the initial cash purchase price of $150,000, plus any interest, costs, fees or charges accrued under the Typenex Note, including the original issue discount of $20,000. The outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Typenex Note is convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.00, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Lender Conversion Price”). As of June 24, 2014, the Company evaluated the Beneficial Conversion Feature under this note and determined as of June 24, 2014, there was no beneficial conversion feature as the Lender Conversion Price exceeded the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

 

F- 15  

 

 

As of November 30, 2014, the company has received net proceeds of $135,000 related to this convertible promissory note, representing $150,000 less financing costs of $15,000. During the nine months ended November 30, 2014 the Company has recorded interest expense of $7,725, and amortization expense of $554,413 related to the amortization of the original issue discount and the full-value of the warrant discussed below ($552,500).

 

Each subsequent tranche will be in the amount of $85,000, plus any interest, costs, fees or charges accrued thereon under the terms of the Typenex Note, including the original issuer discount of $8,500. Each tranche will be accompanied by its own secured investor note (the “Investor Notes”). The Company has agreed to pay $5,000 to cover Typenex’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs in connection with the purchase and sale of the Typenex Note. All loans received bear an interest rate of 10% per annum. The loan is due 23 months after the initial cash purchase price is delivered to the Company. Typenex has pledged a 40% membership interest in Typenex Medical, LLC to secure its obligations under all of the Typenex Notes.

 

A warrant to purchase shares of the Company has been issued to Typenex as of June 24, 2014. This warrant grants Typenex the ability to purchase a number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s stock, par value $0.001, equal to $552,500 divided by the market price. This warrant is issued pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement as described above.

 

Provided there is an outstanding balance, the Company will pay an installment amount equal to $61,388.89 plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the installment due date, which is six months after the initial loan disbursement. This installment amount is the maximum that must be paid on any given installment due date, and is limited by the amounts owed. This amount can be converted at the lesser of either the lender conversion price or at 70% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices in the 20 trading days immediately preceding the applicable conversion. Should the average trading price be less than $0.35 during any such period, then the conversion factor will be reduced to 65% for all future conversion, additionally the conversion price will be reduced by 5% if the Company’s common stock is not available for DWAC. Should the Company decide to prepay this amount, there is a prepayment premium equal to 125% of the outstanding balance of the Typenex Note. Should the prepayment premium not be paid within 2 days of the prepayment notice, the Company forfeits its right to prepay the Typenex Note.

 

Under this agreement, Typenex has the right at any time after the purchase price date until the outstanding balance has been paid in full to convert any or all of the outstanding balance into shares of the Company’s common stock under the following formula: the number of shares issued equals the amount being converted divided by $1. These shares must be delivered to Typenex within three trading days of the conversion notice being given to the Company. Should any shares be sold to Typenex or any third party at a value that is less than the effective lender conversion price, then the lender conversion price will be reduced to equal such lower issuance price. The effective lender conversion price will also be adjusted as needed upon any forward or reverse split of the Company’s shares. Should the Company fail to deliver the shares in a timely manner, a late fee of the greater of $500 per day and 2% of the applicable lender conversion share value rounded to the nearest multiple of $100 will be assed for each day after the third that the Company is late (though not exceeding 200% of the applicable lender conversion share value.

 

In the event of a default, the Typenex Note may be accelerated by Typenex by providing written notice to the Company. The outstanding balance is immediately due and payable at the greater of the outstanding balance divided by the installment conversion price, or the default effect, which is calculated by multiplying the conversion eligible outstanding balance by 15% for each major default or 5% for each minor default and then adding the resulting product to the outstanding balance as of the date of default. In addition, an interest rate of the lesser of 22% per annum (or the maximum rate permitted under law) will be applied to the outstanding balance. Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares, unless the market capitalization of the Company’s common stock is less than $10,000,000, in which case Typenex is prohibited from owning more than 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares.

 

On a date that is 23 trading days from each date that the Company delivers conversion shares to Typenex, there is a true-up date in which the Company will deliver additional shares if the installment conversion price on that date is less than the installment conversion price used in the applicable installment notice. These additional shares will be equal to the difference between the number of shares that would be delivered to Typenex at the time of the true-up date and the amount originally delivered.

Notice of Default – on January 9, 2015, the Company received a Notice of Default from Typenex under the Convertible Promissory Note described in Note 12 above. In the letter, the noteholder described two major defaults where the Company failed to meet its obligations under the Typenex Note. The first default was triggered on December 16, 2014 related to a request from the noteholder to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Typenex Note on the books of the Company’s transfer agent. The second default was triggered on December 27, 2014, when the Company failed to make its first installment payment of $61,888.89 according to the terms of the Typenex Note. Each default triggered a penalty of 115% of the then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest and triggers the interest rate to 22%. As of January 9, 2015, the outstanding principal, accrued interest and accrued penalties on the Typenex Note was $239,483.61. On January 23, 2015, the Company satisfied its first default by instructing its transfer agent to reserve a total of 50,925,000 shares of common stock covering the potential conversion of the original principal value of the Typenex Note ($1,100,000) plus common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants underlying the Typenex Note. On February 12, 2015, the Company received a notice from Typenex waiving the penalties on the December 16, 2014 default and waived $26,755.16 of penalties imposed on December 16, 2014. Under the terms of the Typenex Note, the Lenders Conversion Price will reset to 60% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock in the 20 days prior to conversion. As of December 16, 2014, the Company has re-evaluated the beneficial conversion feature under the Typenex Note and has recorded a liability for the beneficial conversion feature totaling $230,392. This discount will be amortized over the remaining life of the Typenex Note.

 

On February 3, 2015, the Company exercised its borrower offset right under the Typenex Note.  Through this offset right, the Company is entitled to deduct and offset any amount owing by Typenex under the initial securities purchase agreement dated June 24, 2014 from any amount owed by the Company under the note.  The combined balance of the secured investor notes and the investor notes as of the January 28, 2015 offset date was $890,800.  In addition, the note balance prior to the offset included $85,000 of unearned original issue discounts.

 

In conjunction with the Company’s exercise of its offset right, the Company and Typenex each hereby acknowledge that the secured investor notes and the investor notes were offset against the Company balances owed under the note as of the offset date, and as a result thereof, each of the secured investor notes and the investor notes is deemed to have been paid in full and are now cancelled and terminated and the Company balance owed under the note has been reduced to $218,028.47 as of the offset date.  Additionally, the Company specifically acknowledges that Typenex has no further obligations under any of the secured investor notes and investor notes.

 

Further, the Company acknowledges that the investor pledge agreement, dated June 24, 2014, and all security interests granted thereunder with respect to the collateral (as defined in the investor pledge agreement) have terminated and all such security interests shall be deemed released.

 

Notice of Conversion – Between March 1, 2015 and February 29, 2016, the Company has received conversion notices from its noteholder on the Typenex Note to convert principal on the Typenex Note into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a market price as defined by the Typenex Note.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of February 29, 2016. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s 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 for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer (our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2016 using the criteria established in “ Internal Control - Integrated Framework ” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2016, the Company determined that there were control deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.

 

1.     We do not have an Audit Committee  – While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee, it is the management’s view that such a committee, including a financial expert member, is an utmost important entity level control over the Company’s financial statement. Currently the board of directors acts in the capacity of the audit committee, and does not include a member that is considered to be independent of management to provide the necessary oversight over management’s activities.

2.     We did not maintain appropriate cash controls  – As of February 29, 2016, the Company has not maintained sufficient internal controls over financial reporting for the cash process, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts.  Alternatively, the effects of poor cash controls were mitigated by the fact that the Company had limited transactions in their bank accounts.

 

3.     We did not implement appropriate information technology controls  – As at February 29, 2016, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss due to unmitigated factors.  

 

4.     We did not have any internal personnel who have knowledge of United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. However, we have hired an outsourced accounting firm to ensure transactions are recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Accordingly, the Company concluded that these control deficiencies resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.

 

As a result of the material weaknesses described above, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2016 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO. 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2016, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Continuing Remediation Efforts to address deficiencies in the Company’s Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:

 

1.             Our board of directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our board of directors in fiscal 2019.

 

2.             We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations.

Family Relationship

There are no family relationships between any of our directors, executive officers and proposed directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

 

1. been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

 

2. had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;  

 

3. been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

Code of Ethics

Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have three directors and we are in the development stage of our operations. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.

 

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Our common stock is not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, our officers, directors, and principal stockholders are not subject to the beneficial ownership reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Indemnification

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company as provided in the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS OR PERSONS CONTROLLING THE COMPANY FOR LIABILITIES ARISING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, IS HELD TO BE AGAINST PUBLIC POLICY BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND IS THEREFORE UNENFORCEABLE.

Kronos International Investments Ltd.

During the year ended February 29, 2016, the Company paid Kronos $7,500 in rent expense, and had previously paid security deposit of $1,250. In June 2015, the sublease was cancelled and the security deposit of $1,250 was offset against amounts owed to Kronos for advisory service fees.

 

35  

 

 

Advisory Services : Effective March 1, 2014, the Company engaged Kronos to provide Advisory Services for a monthly retainer fee of $10,000 per month. The advisory services include and are not limited to accounting and corporate compliance, business development and strategic planning services, corporate advisory and operational oversight.

Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

 

License Agreement : On March 14, 2014, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharm where it has granted exclusive rights to the Company for North America to exploit all presently owned and after-acquired intellectual property rights and know-how of Phoenix Bio Pharm for certain medical cannabinoid products and delivery systems for the treatment and management of illnesses. The term of the License Agreement is ten (10) years. In consideration of the acquired license, the Company issued 26,000,000 shares of common stock to Phoenix Bio Pharm, valued at $13,000,000 based on a discounted cash flow model and the fair value of the assets acquired in the license agreement. The Company will amortize the cost of the License Agreement over the ten year life beginning August 2014 when sales of licensed products commenced.

 

On January 5, 2015, the Company entered into an additional license agreement with Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation to expand the territories covered under its original license agreement dated March 14, 2014.  Under the terms of the additional license agreement, the Company acquired the marketing rights to distribute products developed by Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation in Australia and New Zealand for ten years.  In exchange for the license, the Company issued 250,000,000 restricted common shares at $0.016 per common share, for an aggregate value of $4,000,000.  This amount represents 33% over the market value on the date of execution of the license agreement.  

 

Subsequently as the Company has failed to meet projected cash flows which underpin the valuation model of the License Agreement, the Company determined that the balance of License Agreement should be impaired. Accordingly a total of $14,014,189 was expensed as an impairment to the License Agreement and paid in capital was reduced by $2,282,112 at year ended February 28, 2015.

 

Phoenix Pharms Capital Corporation

 

Loan Funding: From time to time, Phoenix Pharms has loaned the Company short term loans to cover its working capital needs. Between March 1, 2014 and August 31, 2014, Phoenix Pharms advanced the Company $10,029. As of August 31, 2014, this loan was paid in full.

At November 30, 2014, the Company has applied the outstanding balance of $9,343 of pass through expenses against the related party loan as discussed below.

The loan bears a simple interest rate of 8% and was due and payable on November 30, 2014. As of February 28 2015, $26,425 of principal has been reduced by cash payment of $15,900 and expense offset of $10,525. As of February 29, 2016 principal and interest outstanding on this related party note total $55,292.

 

36  

 

 

New Product Development Agreement : On October 23, 2014, the Company entered into a New Product Development Agreement (the “NPD Agreement”) with Phoenix Pharms for use of Phoenix Pharms’ expertise in identifying new product business development opportunities related to expanding the Company’s product offerings.

Director Independence

There were two directors prior to 2018. We have determined that no director, is an “independent director” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

 

We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors acts in such capacities. We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.

 

Lock-up Agreements

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement between the Company and YP Holdings, LLC, the Company agreed to several lock-up agreements between itself and four shareholders of the Company: Phoenix Bio Pharmaceuticals Corporation, Ronald Lusk, Lewis Humer, and Caduceus Industries LLC. Under these agreements, each shareholder has agreed that they will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any options for sale or transfer, distribute or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Company for a 90 day period following the date that the registration statement is declared effective.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:   

             
   

Year Ended

February 29, 2016

   

Year Ended

February 28, 2015

 
Audit fees   $ Nil     $ 16,500  
Audit-related fees   $ Nil     $ Nil  
Tax fees   $ Nil     $ Nil  
All other fees   $ Nil     $ Nil  
Total   $ Nil     $ 16,500  

 

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

 

Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors’ independence.
