CANNABINOID DRUG PLATFORM

 

Over the last few decades, the mainstream medical establishment has regained interest in cannabis for therapeutic applications. This attention has surfaced as researchers began to look more deeply into the substance's low toxicity and high effectiveness for a variety of diseases. In fact, there is no known instance of a lethal dosage of cannabis in humans, making it one of the safest drugs, even among over- the-counter medications. Due to these desirable properties, the Food and Drug Association (FDA), the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have all made requests for a greater amount of research into cannabis and its medical use. Cannabinoid receptors were first discovered, characterized and cloned in 1990. Over the course of the next few years, these receptors were classified into two subtypes, - CB1, which is found in the nervous system and in various organs and tissues throughout the body, and CB2, which is found in the immune system. Shortly after the discovery of cannabinoid receptors came the discovery of the endogenous cannabinoid system – the system that binds cannabinoid receptors with plant-based cannabinoids as well as endogenous ligands that exist naturally in the body, referred to as endocannabinoids.

 

Since the discovery of this system modern scientists have come to believe the endocannabinoid system is intimately involved in human physiology, including elements as diverse as the movement of control, reproduction, memory, appetite, bone tissue formation, amongst other functions

Cannabinoid and its Medical Importance

 

The major psychoactive component of cannabis is ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (9-THC), whereas cannabidiol (CBD) is the major and most widely studied of the other constituents. CBD, unlike 9-THC, does not activate the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which probably accounts for its lack of psychotropic activity. It exerts its pharmacological effects through multiple mechanisms. Preclinical studies have suggested a wide range of possible therapeutic effects of THC, CBD and other active components from marijuana on several conditions, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, cerebral ischemia, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, other inflammatory diseases, nausea and cancer.

 

·         The main mechanism is the capability of cannabinoids to restore the normal balance between oxidative events and antioxidant

endogenous mechanisms that is frequently disrupted in neurodegenerative disorders, thereby enhancing neuronal survival.

·         The second key mechanism for cannabinoids as a neuro-protective compound involves its anti-inflammatory activity that is

exerted by mechanisms other than the activation of CB2 receptors, the canonic pathway for the anti-inflammatory effects of

most of cannabinoid agonists. Anti-inflammatory effects of CBD have been related to the control of microglial cell migration.

·         Cannabinoids have also shown to increase memory and cognition in mouse models

·         Other mechanisms proposed for the neuro-protective effects of cannabinoids include: (i) the contribution of 5HT1A receptors,

e.g. in stroke, (ii) the inhibition of adenosine uptake, e.g. in neonatal ischaemia and (iii) specific signaling pathways that play a

role in b-amyloid plague reduction and tau hyperphosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease.

 

Up until the last two decades, marijuana research was a rather esoteric field, of interest to a small number of scientists. A contributory factor was the highly lipophilic nature of the biologically active ingredients, which led to the notion that marijuana elicits its effects nonspecifically by perturbing membrane lipids. The first important breakthrough that ultimately led to a rejection of this concept was the identification of the correct chemical structure of the main psychoactive ingredient of marijuana, THC, and the subsequent demonstration that bioactivity resides in the l-stereoisomer of this compound which is one of approximately 60 cannabinoids present in the plant.

 

 

 6 
 

 

 

 

This discovery stimulated the generation of a whole range of synthetic analogs in the 1970s that included not only compounds structurally similar to phytocannabinoids but also analogs with different chemical structures, including classic and nonclassic cannabinoids and aminoalkylindoles as well as the subsequently discovered endogenous arachidonic acid derivatives or endocannabinoids, which are discussed in more detail below. Biological effects of THC and its synthetic analogs revealed strict structural selectivity as well as stereo-selectivity telltale signs of drug-receptor interactions. Definitive evidence for the existence of specific cannabinoid receptors was followed soon by the demonstration of high-affinity, saturable, stereospecific binding sites for the synthetic cannabinoid agonist in mouse brain plasma membranes, which correlated with both the in vitro inhibition of adenylate cyclase and the in vivo analgesic effect of the compound. The availability of a radio-ligand also allowed the mapping of cannabinoid receptors in the brain by receptor autoradiography. This mapping turned out to be of key importance in the subsequent identification of CB1 receptor. CB1 receptors are the most abundant receptors in the mammalian brain but are also present at much lower concentrations in a variety of peripheral tissues and cells. A second cannabinoid GPCR, CB2, is expressed primarily in cells of the immune and hematopoietic systems but recently were found to be present in the brain in nonparenchymal cells of the cirrhotic liver in the endocrine pancreas and in bone.

 

The endocannabinoid system (ECS), which acts through the CB1 and CB2 receptors, is a pleiotropic signaling system involved in all aspects of mammalian physiology and pathology, and for this reason it represents a potential target for the design and development of new therapeutic drugs. Over the past decades, the endocannabinoid system has been widely studied, owing to its broad range of physiological effects. ECS system encompasses a wide range of lipid mediators, proteins and receptors, which together can be considered as the 'endocannabinoidome'.

 

Cannabinoid Drug Delivery

 

As more and more medical uses of cannabinoids unravel, the optimum and targeted delivery of cannabinoid compounds to different tissues systems is a challenging need. We at Apotheca are a dedicated team of scientists, engineer and software architects to design and automate medical devices for cannabinoid delivery.

 

Apotheca is developing novel cannabinoid delivery devices for dispensing effective dose concentrations to treat different human diseases. Apotheca's research and development includes specific delivery devices to treat Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and severe, chronic pain. For each of these diseases, there is a dire need for targeted delivery of cannabinoid-based actives.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT & MARKETS

 Alzheimer

Lead drug candidate to treat early stages of Alzheimer's disease

 

Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a complex class of debilitating brain diseases that mostly affects people aged 65 and older. AD is characterized by progressive loss of neurons in the hippocampus and cortex, which results in the shrinkage of the brain. Basically, the brain cells required to process, store and retrieve information are killed, which is characteristic of a neurodegenerative process.

 

AD is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which killed half a million people in 2010. It is the sixth leading cause of death in US. It is estimated that by 2050, the number of people with AD may nearly triple, from 5 million to as many as 16 million, barring the development of medical breakthroughs to prevent, slow or stop the disease. Existing medications, which mostly treat symptoms, have combined sales of about $3 billion today. Any drug, which cures or manage to slow the progression of AD will be about $5-6billion dollar market.

 

Apotheca has identified a combination of two patent-pending drug actives which simultaneously targets both amyloid plaques and tau phosphorylation, the two major causative agents of AD.

 

Opioids - Opioid Crisis: A National Public Health Emergency

 

The Senate on October 3, 2018 overwhelmingly passed bipartisan legislation aimed at ending the nation's opioid crisis.

 

HR 6, the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act, passed the House on Sept. 28, 2018. During a White House event, titled "A Year of Historic Action to Combat the Opioid Crisis," on October 24, 2018 President Trump signed the legislation recently passed by Congress to add more resources for Americans suffering from addiction, including expanding access to medication-assisted treatments like methadone.

 

Key provisions of the bill include authorizing additional funding for medical professional continuing education and improving the quality and interoperability of state prescription drug monitoring programs. It also intensifies federal research into new pain management therapies and promotes more convenient ways for consumers to dispose of their unused medications.

 

Provisions in the final package address a wide range of issues related to the crisis that is wreaking havoc across the country, such as prescription limits, monitoring programs, expanding access to treatment and recovery services, coming up with opioid alternatives for pain treatment, intercepting illegal opioids at mail facilities and combating use of fentanyl. In a time of sharp partisan divides and vitriol, the bipartisan vote underscored the reach and scope of the crisis on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers and staff say the issue has become one of, if not the, top issues they hear about from constituents in their states and districts.

 

With the crisis continuing to see widespread deaths, opioids are an issue that has touched most, if not all, in the states, cities and towns represented on Capitol Hill. During 2017, there were more than 72,000 overdose deaths in the United States according to the Centers for Disease Control. The sharpest increase occurred among deaths related to fentanyl and fentanyl analogs (synthetic opioids) with nearly 30,000 overdose deaths.  All opioids accounted for more than 61,000 deaths.  That's an average of 167 opioid overdose deaths each day (which is an increase from 115 in 2016).

 

 12 
 

 

 

Studies have shown that Phyto cannabinoids like cannabidiol have promising results in opioid withdrawal symptoms and heroin-seeking behavior. Apotheca's preliminary studies have shown that cannabidiol can have promising improvements in opioid withdrawal symptoms by attenuating the rewarding effects of opioids. Apotheca has been developing various cannabinoid formulations for relieving various pains and opioid withdrawal symptoms. There is strong evidence that cannabinoid compounds can relieve depression caused by drug addiction.

 

 Apotheca's initiative on Opioid Addiction

 

A cannabidiol based cannabinoid formulation recently developed by Apotheca that represents a select combination of Phyto cannabinoids assembled to specifically target opioid. Apotheca has identified a combination of patent-pending drug actives which targets and blocks rewarding neuronal effects.

 

Cannabinoid Library

 

Apotheca has developed a novel combinatorial library of phyto and endocannabinoids for treating various diseases.

 

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is composed of two G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors, and the two main endogenous lipid ligands of such receptors, anandamide, and 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol(2-AG). The ECS is a pleiotropic signaling system involved in all aspects of mammalian physiology and pathology, and for this reason, it represents a potential target for the design and development of new therapeutic drugs. Over the past decades, the endocannabinoid system has been widely studied, owing to its broad range of physiological effects. ECS system encompasses a wide range of lipid mediators, proteins, and receptors, which together can be considered as the 'endocannabinoidome'

 

Apotheca has created an extensive library of various phyto-endo cannabinoid combinations in effective dose concentrations to modulate specific signaling to treat different human diseases.

Government Regulation

 

With respect to our business, there is a substantial amount of change occurring in the United States regarding both the medical and recreational use of cannabis, and a number of individual states have enacted state laws to enable distribution, possession, and use of cannabis for medical, and in some cases, recreational purposes. Despite the development of a legal medical or recreational cannabis industry under certain state laws, cannabis use and possession remains illegal under federal law, and such state laws are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act. The Obama Administration previously stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute individuals lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing for use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis, and thus far the Trump Administration has followed a similar policy. However, there is no guarantee that the new Trump Administration will not change the stated policy regarding enforcement of federal laws in states where cannabis has been legalized.

 

Insurance

 

We do not maintain any insurance and do not intend to maintain insurance in the future. Because we do not have any insurance, if we are made a party to a liability action, we may not have sufficient funds to defend the litigation. If that occurs a judgment could be rendered against us that could cause us to cease operations.

Competition

 

The industry surrounding handheld consumer analyzers is rapidly evolving, and the market landscape is currently uncertain. However, we expect that as consumers begin to learn and adapt, products that will compete with our offerings will rapidly proliferate. These competitive products could have similar applications, perhaps using superior technology, and may provide additional benefits that our sensors do not. We expect that the market could be occupied by larger competitors with greater financial and other resources, which could hinder our market share. We may be forced to modify or alter our business and regulatory strategy, as well as our sales and marketing plans, in response to, among other things, changes in the market, competition, and technological limitations. Such modifications may pose additional delays in achieving our goals.

 

Research and Development Expenditures

 

We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.

Patents and Trademarks

 

Apotheca has been developing Pain-Patch using CannaDERME transdermal delivery and state-of-the art smart device technologies for relieving various pains. Apotheca has formulated cannabidiol-based Pain-Patch for proof-of-concept studies. The company has now secured the two patent rights for this novel device which encompasses CannaDERME(TM) transdermal formulation and Pain-patch medical device technologies.

-- Cannabidiol is one of the key cannabinoid constituents in Hemp Plant. CBD is non-psychoactive and safe compound with a wide range of therapeutic applications, including the treatment of neural disorders and clinical studies have suggested a wide range of possible therapeutic effects of cannabidiol on several conditions.

-- The Pain-Patch has transcutaneous cannabinoid penetration technology coupled with thermosensitive nano-emulsion for sustained release of compounds for longer time. The device delivers therapeutic doses to brain via brain stem for whole-body effect.

-- The goal of these patches are to produce a pain-patch with a small footprint for easy concealment, a strong formula to counteract the decreased quality of life for individuals who suffer with systemic pain, a long shelf-life and the use of non-toxic and non-abrasive components to create the most comfortable and effective patch on the market using this technology.

Employees

 

We presently have 3 full and part-time employees, and make extensive use of third-party contractors, consultants, and advisors to perform many of our present activities. We have not entered into any collective bargaining agreements with any of our employees, and we believe our relationships with our employees and any third-party contractors, consultants, and advisors are strong.

Government Regulation

 

With respect to our business, there is a substantial amount of change occurring in the United States regarding both the medical and recreational use of cannabis, and a number of individual states have enacted state laws to enable distribution, possession, and use of cannabis for medical, and in some cases, recreational purposes. Despite the development of a legal medical or recreational cannabis industry under certain state laws, cannabis use and possession remains illegal under federal law, and such state laws are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act. The Obama Administration had effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute individuals lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing for use and distribution of medical and recreational cannabis. However, there is no guarantee that the new Trump Administration will not change the stated policy regarding enforcement of federal laws in states where cannabis has been legalized.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Operating Revenues

 

We have not generated any revenues since inception.

Results of Operations For the Period from February 26, 2018 (Inception) through January 31, 2019

 

For the period from February 26, 2018, (inception) through October 31, 2018, the Company had no revenues. For the same period, we had $228,221 in personnel expenses, $236,717 in general and administrative expenses, and $1,811,460 in stock-based compensation. We had $34,124 in interest expense resulting from accrued interest on notes payable and amortization of debt discount. For the period, we recorded a gain on settlement of liability in the amount of $156,000. Finally, for the period, we recorded derivative expense in the amount of $357,918. The net loss for the period amounted to $2,512,440.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the period from February 26, 2018, (inception) through January 31, 2019, we have relied almost exclusively on funds raised from sales of shares of our common stock, advances from related parties and the issuance of debt. We may need to raise additional capital to carry out our business plan. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital or if we are able to raise additional capital that the terms will be acceptable to us.

 

We had cash on hand of $2,942 and $0.00 at January 31, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively. Our primary needs for cash are for working capital.

Current Assets  $108,884   $-   $-    -%

Working Deficiency  $(822,993)  $(32,242)  $(790,751)   (2453)%

 

As of January 31, 2019, our company’s cash balance was $2,942 and total assets were $115,325. As of April 30, 2018, our company’s cash balance was $0.00 and total assets were $0.00.

As of January 31, 2019, our company had total liabilities of $931,878 compared with total liabilities of $32,242 as of April 30, 2018.

 

As of January 31, 2019, our company had working capital deficiency of $822,993 compared with working capital deficit of $32,242 as at April 30, 2018. The increase in working capital deficiency was primarily attributed to an increase in cash due to the issuance of a Convertible Note Payable, along with derivative liabilities arising from the Convertible Note transaction.

 

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.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Apotheca Biosciences, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Apotheca Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company") as of January 31, 2019, the related statement of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the period of February 26, 2018 (inception) through to January 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the

U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Actual results could differ from these good faith estimates and judgments.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include time deposits, certificate of deposits, and all highly-liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Inventory 

Inventory is valued at the lower of the inventory’s cost or the current market price of the inventory. Management compares the cost of inventory with its market value and an allowance is made to write down inventory to market value, if lower. At January 31, 2019, the balance of inventory was $7,640.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loans payable – related parties. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments approximate their respective estimated fair value due to the short-term maturities and approximate market interest rates of these instruments.

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is similarly calculated. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. These potentially dilutive securities were not included in the calculation of loss per common share for the period ended January 31, 2019 and April 30, 2018 because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The outstanding securities consist of the following:

 

    
  

January 31,

2019

 

April 30,

2018

Potentially dilutive options   1,198,289    - 
Potentially dilutive warrants   720,000    - 
Potentially dilutive convertible debt   3,056,616    - 
    4,974,905    -

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requires expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not elected to early adopt this standard but will adopt it in the next fiscal year.

 

In May 2014, ASU 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, and May 2016 by ASU 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12.

 

In May 2014, ASU 2014-09 was issued related to revenue from contracts with customers. The ASU was further amended in August 2015, March 2016, April 2016, and May 2016 by ASU 2015-14, 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12.

 

The new standard provides a five-step approach to be applied to all contracts with customers and also requires expanded disclosures about revenue recognition.

 

In August 2015, the effective date was deferred to reporting periods, including interim periods, beginning after December 31, 2017, and will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not permitted.

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to October 31, 2018 through the date these financial statements were issued.

 

 

NOTE 3 – MERGER

 

On March 6, 2018 an Agreement and Plan of Merger was made and entered into as of March 6, 2018 by and among Cannabis Leaf (CLI) and Apotheca.

(v) At the time of exchange in such transaction, there is as certified by CLI, its board of directors and management, exist no convertible or other debt with claims or rights superior for the issuance of any shares of common stock in CLI, and no such claims need be recognized by Apotheca as debt of the surviving entity. Any such debt must have been and was not disclosed to Apotheca before this transaction, and the existing of such debt or claims is a liability of the prior management of CLI and not of Apotheca as the surviving entity.

Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms, the closing of the Merger on May 15, 2018 at which time the conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waived by the appropriate party (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all such conditions) or at such other time, date or location as the parties hereto agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs, and the transactions contemplated hereby become effective is hereinafter referred to as the Closing Date CLI and Apotheca shall deliver the certificates and other documents and instruments required to be delivered hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the parties hereto shall (a) cause a certificate of merger in substantially the form required by the Secretary of State of Nevada to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and (b) take all such other and further actions as may be required by the NRS or other applicable Law to make the Merger effective. The Merger shall become effective as of the date and time of the filing of the Nevada Certificate of Merger or at such later date or time as may be agreed by CLI and CLI in writing and specified in the Nevada Certificate of Merger in accordance with relevant provisions of the NRS. The date and time of such effectiveness are referred to herein as the Effective Time

On August 2, 2018, Articles of Merger and the Merger Agreement were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, giving Effect to the Merger and the change of name of our company to Apotheca Biosciences Incorporated.

 

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, with the Company considered the acquiring company. Based on the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration transferred by the Company is based on number or equity interests (e.g., shares) the Company issued to give the shareholders of the CLI the same percentage of equity interest in the combined entity that resulted from the reverse merger. Consolidated statements immediately following the reverse merger are a continuation of the financial statements of the Company (“accounting acquirer”) retroactively adjusted to reflect the CLI (“accounting acquiree”) legal capital.

 

The acquisition of a private operating company by a nonoperating public shell corporation typically results in the owners and management of the private company having actual or effective voting and operating control of the combined company. A public shell reverse acquisition is viewed as a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. As a result, it should be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization equivalent to the issuance of stock by the private company for the net monetary assets of the shell corporation accompanied by a recapitalization. This accounting treatment is similar to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill or other intangible assets should be recorded.

 

 

NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. At January 31, 2019 and April 30, 2018, the Company had $2,942 and $0 in cash and $822,993 and $32,242 in negative working capital, respectively.  From inception (February 26, 2018) through January 31, 2019, the Company had a net loss of $2,125,440. Continued losses may adversely affect the liquidity of the Company in the future. Therefore, the factors noted above raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing and to succeed in its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems.

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE

 

October 3, 2018 Note

 

On October 3, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, an accredited investor “Firstfire” pursuant to which the Company issued to Firstfire a Senior Convertible Promissory Note (“Note 1”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000. The Company received net proceeds of $243,900 after a $24,000 original note discount and $32,100 of financing costs. The Note has a maturity date of October 3, 2019 and the Company has agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date on which the Note is issued until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to prepay the Note, provided it makes a payment to Firstfire as set forth in the Note.

 

The outstanding principal amount of the Note is convertible into common stock at the lender’s option at $0.20 per share. The agreements contain down-round protection in the event the Company issues common stock at a lower price. In connection with the agreement, the Company issued detachable warrants to purchase 480,000 shares of the company’s common stock. The warrants have a strike price of $0.3125 and an expiration date of October 3, 2021. The warrants contain down-round protection in the event the Company issues common stock at a lower price.

 

Accounting Considerations

 

The Company has accounted for the Note as a financing transaction, wherein the net proceeds that were received were allocated to the financial instrument issued. Prior to making the accounting allocation, the Company evaluated the agreement under ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 generally requires the analysis embedded terms and features that have characteristics of derivatives to be evaluated for bifurcation and separate accounting in instances where their economic risks and characteristics are not clearly and closely related to the risks of the host contract. The material embedded derivative features consisted of the embedded conversion option and default puts. The conversion option and default puts bear risks of equity which were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement and required bifurcation. Current accounting principles that are also provided in ASC 815 do not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features that require bifurcation and liability classification. Rather, such terms and features must be and were bundled together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. Additionally the warrants required classification as derivative liabilities.

 

Based on the previous conclusions, the Company allocated the cash proceeds first to the derivative components at its fair value with the residual allocated to the host debt contract, as follows:

 

  Allocation
Compound embedded derivative $        408,373 
Derivative warrants 128,544 
Day-one derivative loss (260,917)
Financing fees (32,100)
Net proceeds $                    (243,900)

 

The net proceeds of $243,900 were allocated to the compound embedded derivative and derivative warrants. This resulted in a day-one derivative loss of $260,917. Due to the 100% discount of the note, the net carrying value on the balance sheet was zero upon inception. The Note will be amortized up to its face value of $300,000 over the life of Note based on an effective interest rate. Amortization expense for the period amounted to $22,104. The carrying value of the Note as of January 31, 2019 amounted to $22,104.

January 18, 2019 Note

 

On January 18, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Firstfire Global Opportunities Fund, LLC, an accredited investor “Firstfire” pursuant to which the Company issued to Firstfire a Senior Convertible Promissory Note (“Note 2”) in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000. The Company received net proceeds of $124,200 after a $12,000 original note discount and $13,800 of financing costs. The Note has a maturity date of January 18, 2020 and the Company has agreed to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date on which the Note is issued until the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or upon acceleration or by prepayment or otherwise. The Company shall have the right to prepay the Note, provided it makes a payment to Firstfire as set forth in the Note.

The following table summarizes the effects on the Company’s gain (loss) associated with changes in the fair values of the derivative financial instruments by type of financing for the period from February 26, 2018 (Inception) through to January 31, 2019:

Compound embedded derivative  $142,609 
Derivative warrants   29,204 
Day-one derivative loss   (529,731)
Total gain (loss)  $(357,918)

 

The Company’s Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and Detachable Warrants issued on October 3, 2018 and January 18, 2019 gave rise to derivative financial instruments. The Notes embodied certain terms and conditions that were not clearly and closely related to the host debt agreement in terms of economic risks and characteristics. These terms and features consist of the embedded conversion option. Additionally the detachable warrants contained terms and features that gave rise to derivative liability classification.

 

Current accounting principles that are provided in ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging require derivative financial instruments to be classified in liabilities and carried at fair value with changes recorded in income. In addition, the standards do not permit an issuer to account separately for individual derivative terms and features embedded in hybrid financial instruments that require bifurcation and liability classification as derivative financial instruments. Rather, such terms and features must be bundled together and fair valued as a single, compound embedded derivative. The Company has selected the Monte Carlo Simulations valuation technique to fair value the compound embedded derivative because it believes that this technique is reflective of all significant assumption types, and ranges of assumption inputs, that market participants would likely consider in transactions involving compound embedded derivatives. Such assumptions include, among other inputs, interest risk assumptions, credit risk assumptions and redemption behaviors in addition to traditional inputs for option models such as market trading volatility and risk-free rates. The Monte Carlo Simulations technique is a level three valuation technique because it requires the development of significant internal assumptions in addition to observable market indicators.

 

Significant inputs and results arising from the Monte Carlo Simulations process are as follows for the compound embedded derivative that has been bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and classified in liabilities:

 

  October 3, 2018 Note  
  Inception January 31, 2019

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is 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 Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms as a result of the following material weaknesses:  

 

The specific material weakness identified by our management was ineffective controls over certain aspects of the financial reporting process because of a lack of a sufficient complement of personnel with a level of accounting expertise and an adequate supervisory review structure that is commensurate with our financial reporting requirements and inadequate segregation of duties. 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 would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

We expect to be materially dependent upon a third party to provide us with accounting consulting services for the foreseeable future. Until such time as we have a chief financial officer with the requisite expertise in U.S. GAAP, there are no assurances that the material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will not result in errors in our financial statements which could lead to a restatement of those financial statements.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 that occurred in the quarter ended Aril 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors.

The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles.

The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. A written copy of the Code is available on written request to the Company and is filed with the SEC on as part of the Company’s S-1 that is incorporated by reference hereto as Exhibit 14.01.
