Our Business
Since the current leadership assumed control of Nordicus Partners Corporation (“Nordicus” or the “Company”), the Company has evolved into a leading U.S. publicly listed business accelerator and holding company dedicated to helping Nordic life sciences companies succeed in the American market. By combining Nordic innovation with U.S. operational expertise, Nordicus Partners Corporation creates a distinct advantage in identifying, scaling, and exiting high-potential companies in fast-growing markets with unmet medical needs.
Nordicus’ mission is to back high-growth ventures and transformative innovations in the life sciences sector. By providing capital, strategic guidance, and operational resources, we unlock each company’s potential to generate significant value and drive robust financial returns. Our hands-on approach—engaging, empowering, and capitalizing our portfolio companies—actively propels their success.
Our approach blends strategic counsel, operational know-how, and the cultivation of meaningful partnerships. This integrated support strengthens our companies’ market positions and helps them achieve their growth ambitions. Drawing on the combined expertise of our skilled Nordic and U.S. teams, we deliver a unique perspective that advances each portfolio company toward its full potential.
Nordicus’ portfolio diversification strategy positions us as a stable and resilient company, mitigating risk with significant upside potential.
| 4 |
Our Approach and Value Creation Process
Nordicus employs a 4-step value creation process:
| – | Scout and Accelerate: Nordicus targets high-impact potential companies, providing capital, resources and expertise to drive critical milestones such as patent filings and clinical trials. | |
| – | Acquire and Exit: Nordicus acquires controlling stakes to maximize value creation and exit at premium multiples. |
We scout the Nordic region looking for early-stage life sciences companies developing drugs or treatments for diseases in high growth markets with significant unmet medical needs, all in potential multibillion USD markets.
After a vigorous due diligence process, the chosen companies will be offered to join Nordicus’ accelerator program. Once the chosen companies have become accelerator clients, Nordicus takes an active role in advising the management team, assisting with strengthening the companies’ Board of Directors and establishing Advisory Boards including making introductions to strategic partners and talent.
Once the milestones – set by Nordicus – are met, Nordicus will typically offer to acquire the companies outright. The first three acquisitions will be all-stock transactions, with the first two acquisitions (Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S) having already been completed, fitting Nordicus’ criteria of inclusion.
Nordicus aims to take all portfolio companies’ drug developments through Phase I. Upon completion of Phase I, the following options will be considered:
| 1. | Sale or merger of the portfolio company. | |
| 2. | Further development through the next clinical phases. | |
| 3. | Strategic partnership with a large pharmaceutical company that will invest in Nordicus for further drug development. | |
| 4. | Stand-alone Initial Public Offering (IPO). |
Nordicus’ current life sciences portfolio consists of two promising preclinical biotechnology companies in Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S led by the accomplished pharmacologist, Allan Wehnert, who serves as CEO of both companies.
Orocidin A/S is developing a proprietary first-of-its-kind medical treatment for aggressive periodontitis, with Bio-Convert A/S focused on a treatment against oral leukoplakia (OLK) – an oral potentially malignant disorder – by developing a novel proprietary mucoadhesive oral topical formulation designed to treat and reduce dysplasia levels, potentially offering a curative solution for oral leukoplakia.
The companies’ innovative breakthroughs are further strengthened by their oral formulations ensuring prolonged adhesion for 12-24 hours and controlled release of the active ingredient, enhancing drug efficacy and patients’ outcomes – a major advancement over normal gels and creams.
Orocidin A/S latest development
Orocidin A/S has successfully completed a 14-day toxicology study in hamsters and a test of effectiveness in a Beagle Dog Study, respectively.
In the 14-days toxicology study, all animals exhibited high tolerance to the drug, with no adverse reactions and irritation at the buccal application site. No significant side effects were observed and more importantly, the necroscopic cross examination showed no changes in tissues. The successful completion of this study marks an important milestone for Orocidin A/S, providing the foundation for the upcoming pivotal 8-week toxicity study.
The Beagle Dog Study is the first study that shows Orocidin A/S drug, QR-01, having a direct effect on periodontitis diagnosed beagle dogs. The 13-day small efficacy study was conducted on beagle dogs with clinically confirmed periodontitis. The dogs demonstrated consistent improvements across key clinical endpoints, including the Gingival Index, the Plaque Index and overall periodontal Disease.
Moreover, QR-01 was well tolerated, with no adverse side effects reported throughout the treatment period. This represents a significant milestone for Orocidin’s lead product, QR-01, and strengthens Nordicus’ and Orocidin’s confidence as Orocidin prepare for the upcoming human pilot efficacy study.

Bio-Convert A/S latest development
Bio-Convert has received positive and constructive scientific advice from the Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) regarding QR-02 as a treatment for oral leukoplakia. DKMA’s feedback paves the way toward a First in Human trial, with a high likelihood of animal studies rendered dispensable for the proposed formulation and route of application.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Effective August 1, 2020, we voluntarily downgraded from the OTCQB Market to the OTC PINK tier of the OTC Markets. On May 17, 2023, the Company changed its name to Nordicus Partners Corporation and its ticker symbol to NORD. On May 9, 2024, we relisted on the OTCQB Market.
Our shares are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (not including their personal residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse, and certain institutional investors. The rules require the broker-dealer to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase and require the broker-dealer to deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock prior to the first transaction. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to customers disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.
Holders
As of July 16, 2025, there were approximately 217 stockholders of record of our common stock, although we believe that there are other persons who are beneficial owners of our common stock held in street name. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Transfer Online, 512 SE Salmon Street, Portland, OR 97214. Their telephone number is (503) 227-2950.
Dividends
We have not paid cash or stock dividends and have no present plan to pay any dividends, intending instead to reinvest our earnings, if any. For the foreseeable future, we expect to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business and the payment of any cash dividends on our common stock is unlikely.

The 2024 GK Warrant expires on December 31, 2025. The Company determined that the 2024 GK Warrant was precluded from being classified within equity and was liability classified under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. During the year ended March 31, 2025, GK Partners exercised a portion of its 2024 GK Warrant for a total of 35,176 shares. The exercise price ranged from $8.91 to $8.95 per share for total proceeds of $313,455. As of March 31, 2025, the 2024 GK Warrant was terminated. Therefore, as of March 31, 2025, the Company recognized no warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The measurement of fair value of the 2024 GK Warrants was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo Simulation model considering all relevant assumptions current as of March 31, 2025 presented in Note 6.

Upon such an event, and payment of the purchase price, each Right (except those held by the acquiring person or group) will entitle the holder to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (or the economic equivalent thereof) having a value equal to twice the purchase price. Our Board of Directors may redeem the Rights prior to the time they are triggered. In the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire us, the Rights Plan is intended to facilitate the full realization of our stockholder value and the fair and equal treatment of all of our stockholders.

We did not adopt the Rights Plan in response to any particular proposal.

Our Business
Since the current leadership assumed control of Nordicus Partners Corporation (“Nordicus” or the “Company”), the Company has evolved into a leading U.S. publicly listed business accelerator and holding company dedicated to helping Nordic life sciences companies succeed in the American market. By combining Nordic innovation with U.S. operational expertise, Nordicus Partners Corporation creates a distinct advantage in identifying, scaling, and exiting high-potential companies in fast-growing markets with unmet medical needs.
Nordicus’ mission is to back high-growth ventures and transformative innovations in the life sciences sector. By providing capital, strategic guidance, and operational resources, we unlock each company’s potential to generate significant value and drive robust financial returns. Our hands-on approach—engaging, empowering, and capitalizing our portfolio companies—actively propels their success.
Our approach blends strategic counsel, operational know-how, and the cultivation of meaningful partnerships. This integrated support strengthens our companies’ market positions and helps them achieve their growth ambitions. Drawing on the combined expertise of our skilled Nordic and U.S. teams, we deliver a unique perspective that advances each portfolio company toward its full potential.
Nordicus’ portfolio diversification strategy positions us as a stable and resilient company, mitigating risk with significant upside potential.
Our Approach and Value Creation Process
Nordicus employs a 4-step value creation process:
| – | Scout and Accelerate: Nordicus targets high-impact potential companies, providing capital, resources and expertise to drive critical milestones such as patent filings and clinical trials. | |
| – | Acquire and Exit: Nordicus acquires controlling stakes to maximize value creation and exit at premium multiples. |
We scout the Nordic region looking for early-stage life sciences companies developing drugs or treatments for diseases in high growth markets with significant unmet medical needs, all in potential multibillion USD markets.
After a vigorous due diligence process, the chosen companies will be offered to join Nordicus’ accelerator program. Once the chosen companies have become accelerator clients, Nordicus takes an active role in advising the management team, assisting with strengthening the companies’ Board of Directors and establishing Advisory Boards including making introductions to strategic partners and talent.
Once the milestones – set by Nordicus – are met, Nordicus will typically offer to acquire the companies outright. The first three acquisitions will be all-stock transactions, with the first two acquisitions (Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S) having already been completed, fitting Nordicus’ criteria of inclusion.
| 12 |
Nordicus aims to take all portfolio companies’ drug developments through Phase I. Upon completion of Phase I, the following options will be considered:
| 1. | Sale or merger of the portfolio company. | |
| 2. | Further development through the next clinical phases. | |
| 3. | Strategic partnership with a large pharmaceutical company that will invest in Nordicus for further drug development. | |
| 4. | Stand-alone Initial Public Offering (IPO). |
Nordicus’ current life sciences portfolio consists of two promising preclinical biotechnology companies in Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S led by the accomplished pharmacologist, Allan Wehnert, who serves as CEO of both companies.
Orocidin A/S is developing a proprietary first-of-its-kind medical treatment for aggressive periodontitis, with Bio-Convert A/S focused on a treatment against oral leukoplakia (OLK) – an oral potentially malignant disorder – by developing a novel proprietary mucoadhesive oral topical formulation designed to treat and reduce dysplasia levels, potentially offering a curative solution for oral leukoplakia.
The companies’ innovative breakthroughs are further strengthened by their oral formulations ensuring prolonged adhesion for 12-24 hours and controlled release of the active ingredient, enhancing drug efficacy and patients’ outcomes – a major advancement over normal gels and creams.
Orocidin A/S latest development
Orocidin A/S has successfully completed a 14-day toxicology study in hamsters and a test of effectiveness in a Beagle Dog Study, respectively.
In the 14-days toxicology study, all animals exhibited high tolerance to the drug, with no adverse reactions and irritation at the buccal application site. No significant side effects were observed and more importantly, the necroscopic cross examination showed no changes in tissues. The successful completion of this study marks an important milestone for Orocidin A/S, providing the foundation for the upcoming pivotal 8-week toxicity study.
The Beagle Dog Study is the first study that shows Orocidin A/S drug, QR-01, having a direct effect on periodontitis diagnosed beagle dogs. The 13-day small efficacy study was conducted on beagle dogs with clinically confirmed periodontitis. The dogs demonstrated consistent improvements across key clinical endpoints, including the Gingival Index, the Plaque Index and overall periodontal Disease.
Moreover, QR-01 was well tolerated, with no adverse side effects reported throughout the treatment period. This represents a significant milestone for Orocidin’s lead product, QR-01, and strengthens Nordicus’ and Orocidin’s confidence as Orocidin prepare for the upcoming human pilot efficacy study.
Bio-Convert A/S latest development
Bio-Convert has received positive and constructive scientific advice from the Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) regarding QR-02 as a treatment for oral leukoplakia. DKMA’s feedback paves the way toward a First in Human trial, with a high likelihood of animal studies rendered dispensable for the proposed formulation and route of application.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we had revenue relating to consulting income of $5,000 compared to $2,500 for the year ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $2,500 or 100%.
| 13 |
Operating Expenses
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we had officer compensation expense of $662,554 compared to $118,477 for the year ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $544,077 or 459%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries for and an issuance of stock options to the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer as well as increased compensation for and an issuance of stock options to the members of the Company’s Board of the Directors. See Note 5 to our accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information on these transaction.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we had professional fees of $351,773 compared to $137,280 for the year ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $214,493 or 156%. The increase is largely due to increased legal and accounting expenses related to the acquisitions of Orocidin and Bio-Convert.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we had consulting expense of $248,878 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $248,878. The increase is due to fees paid to new members of Orocidin’s advisory board as well as the issuance of Common Stock and restricted stock units to third parties as compensation for consulting services rendered during the year ended March 31, 2025 that did not occur during the year ended March 31, 2024.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we had general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) of $331,724 compared to $54,331 for the year ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $277,393 or 511%. The increase in G&A expense is attributable to increased travel expenses as well as increased SEC and other regulatory filing fees related to the acquisitions of Orocidin and Bio-Convert. In addition, there was an increase in costs related to directors and officers insurance resulting from the expansion of the business.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we had research and development expense of $1,329,436 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1,329,436. The increase is due to research and development costs incurred by Orocidin and Bio-Convert subsequent to the acquisition of each entity during the year ended March 31, 2025 that did not occur during the year ended March 31, 2024.
Other (Expense) Income
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we had $2,085 of other income compared to other income of $9,386 for the year ended March 31, 2024.
For the year ended March 31, 2025, we recorded a loss of $172,715 on the change in fair value of its liability classified warrants issued to a related party and a gain of $175,000 on the change in fair value of investments. The Company did not record a gain or loss related to the fair value of warrants for year ended March 31, 2024 as there were no liability classified warrants issued during the year ended March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we used $1,284,615 in operating activities compared to $258,928 used in operating activities during the year ended March 31, 2024. This increase is primarily due to the significant increase in operating expenses incurred, as detailed in the preceding section, partially offset by net noncash operating activity of $669,493 and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,032,045.
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we had $147,812 provided by investing activities compared to no cash used in or provided by investing activities during the year ended March 31, 2024. This cash provided by investing activities during the year ended March 31, 2025 resulted from cash acquired in the acquisitions of Orocidin and Bio-Convert.
| 14 |
During the year ended March 31, 2025, we received $1,079,927 from financing activities primarily related to cash received from the exercise of warrants and proceeds from Orocidin’s issuance of common stock in a capital raise. During the year ended March 31, 2024, we received $306,000 from financing activities from the exercise of warrants.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations is based on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain amounts included in or affecting the consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-K and related disclosure must be estimated, requiring management to make assumptions with respect to values or conditions which cannot be known with certainty at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Management believes that the accounting policies set forth below comprise the most important “critical accounting estimates” for the Company. Management evaluates such estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon historical results and experience, consultation with experts and other methods that management considers reasonable in the particular circumstances under which the judgments and estimates are made, as well as management’s forecasts as to the manner in which such circumstances may change in the future.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
We account for indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Indefinite-lived intangible assets (e.g. IPR&D), are not amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that an asset might be impaired. Pursuant to ASC 350, we test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing their fair values to their carrying values. An impairment charge is recorded if the estimated fair value of such assets has decreased below their carrying values.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We follow paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of our financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of our financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
| Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
| Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
| Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
| 15 |
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other costs, are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
Goodwill
We assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. We regularly monitor current business conditions and other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill requires significant judgment. In performing our annual goodwill impairment test, we are permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of our reporting units is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the qualitative assessment, we consider certain events and circumstances specific to the reporting unit and the entity as a whole, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance and cost factors when evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of the reporting units is less than its carrying amount. We are also permitted to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. If we choose to undertake the qualitative assessment and conclude that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we would then proceed to the quantitative impairment test. In the quantitative assessment, we compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, which includes goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss exists. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment loss is measured and recorded.
We assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31 or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that recorded goodwill may be impaired. We did not record an impairment charge during the year ended March 31, 2025.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Nordicus Partners Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has nominal revenue and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
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 audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill Valuation – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements
Description of the Critical Audit Matter
During the year under audit, the Company acquired two, wholly owned subsidiaries: Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S through equity issuances pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combinations. We determined such transactions to be material to the financial statements and involve subjective auditor judgement in determining the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially for the excess of consideration paid over the net assets and valuation of intangible assets. Therefore, we determined these transactions are critical audit matters.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for the valuation of goodwill included the following, among others:
| ● | We reviewed the business combination agreements outlining the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and consideration paid in exchange for the transactions. | |
| ● | We reviewed the Company’s Specialist’s report related to the valuation of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill arising from the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations during the year, by evaluating the key assumptions used in their model, including, but not limited to, cumulative probability, discount rates, and future projections. | |
| ● | We evaluated the reasonableness of the Specialist and their report, noting they have the required skills, knowledge, and experience, to perform such valuations. | |
| ● | Obtained and recalculated client’s deferred tax liability and reviewed for reasonableness. |
 |
|
| We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023. | |

Description of Business
Since the current leadership assumed control of Nordicus, the Company has evolved into a business accelerator and holding company dedicated to helping Nordic life sciences companies succeed in the American market. By combining Nordic innovation with U.S. operational expertise, the Company endeavors to create a distinct advantage in identifying, scaling, and exiting high-potential companies in fast-growing markets with unmet medical needs. Nordicus’ mission is to back high-growth ventures and transformative innovations in the life sciences sector. Nordicus’ portfolio diversification strategy aims to positions it as a stable and resilient company, mitigating risk with significant upside potential.
Nordicus’ current life sciences portfolio consists of two preclinical biotechnology companies in Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S led by the accomplished pharmacologist, Allan Wehnert, who serves as CEO of both companies.
Orocidin A/S is developing a proprietary first-of-its-kind medical treatment for aggressive periodontitis. Most recently, Orocidin A/S successfully completed a 14-day toxicology study in hamsters and a test of effectiveness in a Beagle Dog Study, respectively.
Bio-Convert A/S is focused on a treatment against oral leukoplakia (OLK) – an oral potentially malignant disorder – by developing a novel proprietary mucoadhesive oral topical formulation designed to treat and reduce dysplasia levels, potentially offering a curative solution for oral leukoplakia. Most recently, Bio-Convert A/S received positive and constructive scientific advice from the Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) regarding its lead candidate, QR-02, as a treatment for oral leukoplakia.

The companies’ innovative breakthroughs are further strengthened by their oral formulations ensuring prolonged adhesion for 12-24 hours and controlled release of the active ingredient, enhancing drug efficacy and patients’ outcomes – a major advancement over normal gels and creams.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Reverse Stock Split
On
November 8, 2024, the Company effectuated a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, and the fair value of its warrants to purchase common stock.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We also maintain cash in foreign bank accounts that are not federally insured. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
amounts include cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, NP Bioinnovation A/S, Orocidin A/S, and Bio-Convert A/S. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Segment Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation and used by chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company and the Company’s Chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”), the Company’s chief executive officer, view the Company’s operations and manages its business as a single operating segment. See Note 13 for more information.
Translation Adjustment
The reporting currency of the Company is U.S. Dollars. The accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries are maintained in Danish krone. According to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate at respective balance sheets dates, stockholders’ equity transactions are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations accounts are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported in other comprehensive loss in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Reporting Comprehensive Income (“ASC 220”) in the consolidated statements of operations and in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of stockholders’ equity.
| F-9 |
Comprehensive Loss
Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and all changes to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, except changes in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive loss is inclusive of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs consists primarily of costs associated with Orocidin and Bio-Convert’s ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of grants as they occur. Compensation cost for service awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Compensation cost for performance awards is recognized when the vesting condition becomes probable of occurring. Stock-based compensation is included in officer compensation, general and administrative, research and development, and consulting expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
| Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
| Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
| Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Prior to its cancellation, the Company’s liability-classified warrant issued on December 30, 2024 to GK Partners was considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument measured at fair value at issuance. Subsequent changes in fair value were recognized each reporting period within the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity
The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in the FASB ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC Topic 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC Topic 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC Topic 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and on the date of issuance and for liability-classified awards, remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter.
| F-10 |
For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as liabilities at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized in change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
Net loss per share is computed pursuant to ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and potentially outstanding shares of Common Stock during the period. As of March 31, 2025, there were potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock from equity classified warrants and stock options. As of March 31, 2024, there were potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock from equity classified warrants. Diluted shares are not presented when the effect of the computations is anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Acquisition-related costs, including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other costs, are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in the consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.
Goodwill
The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. The Company regularly monitors current business conditions and other factors including, but not limited to, adverse industry or economic trends and lower projections of profitability that may impact future operating results. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill requires significant judgment. In performing the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, the Company is permitted to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of the Company’s reporting units is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers certain events and circumstances specific to the reporting unit and the entity as a whole, such as macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance and cost factors when evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any of the reporting units is less than its carrying amount. The Company is also permitted to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. If the Company chooses to undertake the qualitative assessment and concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company would then proceed to the quantitative impairment test. In the quantitative assessment, the Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount, which includes goodwill. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no impairment loss exists. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment loss is measured and recorded.

The
Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31 or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating
that recorded goodwill may be impaired. The Company did
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that an asset might be impaired. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of certain in-process research and development (IPR&D) assets acquired via the Company’s business combinations with Orocidin A/S and Bio-Convert A/S detailed in Note 10, for impairment by comparing their fair values to their carrying values. An impairment charge is recorded if the estimated fair value of such assets has decreased below their carrying values. The Company did not record an impairment charge during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of a contract with a customer; | |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; | |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price; | |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and | |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. |

In
June 2024, the Company signed an agreement with Bio-Convert for which it recognized $
Non-controlling Interests
In accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), the Company assesses whether it has a variable interest in legal entities in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether or not those entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those entities that qualify as VIEs, ASC 810 requires the Company to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if so, to consolidate the VIE.
If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company consolidates a VIE if both power and benefits belong to the Company – that is, the Company (i) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company consolidates VIEs whenever it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the results of research and development, clinical testing and trial activities of the Company’s products, the Company’s ability to obtain regulatory approval to market its products, competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies, the price of, and demand for, Company’s products, the Company’s ability to negotiate favorable licensing or other manufacturing and marketing agreements for its products, and the Company’s ability to raise capital.
New accounting pronouncements adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, with the goal of enhancing segment disclosures under Topic 280 - Segment Reporting, which requires public entities to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker. Public entities with a single reporting segment have to provide all disclosures required by ASC 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. This Update is applicable for all public entities. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2023-07 as of March 31, 2025 on a retrospective basis. The adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 13, Segment Information.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This Update enhances the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures, particularly in the rate reconciliation table and disclosures about income taxes paid. The guidance also eliminates certain existing requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”), which will require additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. This ASU was further clarified by ASU 2025-01, Income Statement (Topic 220): Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which was issued in December 2024. The new standards require disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new standards will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these accounting standard updates on its financial statements.
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.
| F-13 |
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able
to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has nominal
revenue and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s recent acquisitions, its generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and the private placement of Common Stock. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
On
June 20, 2023, the Company and GK Partners ApS entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement, under which GK Partners ApS sold to
the Company restricted shares of common stock of Mag Mile Capital, Inc. (“Mag Mile”). The shares were restricted
in that they were subject to a registration statement being filed on Form S-1 by Mag Mile on September 6, 2023. The Form S-1 became effective
on July 5, 2024, removing the restriction on the shares. In exchange, the Company issued restricted shares of its Common Stock
to GK Partners ApS. The shares were valued at $
The Company previously accounted for its investment under the guidance of ASC Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities, which provides guidance for equity interests that meet the definition of an equity security. Equity interests with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value with changes in value recorded in earnings. Investments without readily determinable fair values are accounted for using the measurement alternative which is at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
There
is an active market for the shares of Mag Mile as of March 31, 2025. Therefore, the investment had an observable change in the value
of Mag Mile’s shares that can be used to adjust the value of the Company’s investment in those shares. During
the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company observed price changes to the cost basis of the investment in Mag Mile, resulting in
an increase of $

Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors, provided that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Company that are convertible into Junior Preferred Stock. Each share of Junior Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. The holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends payable in cash. Upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, no distribution shall be made to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior to the Junior Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall have received $ per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon. The Junior Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class of Preferred Stock.

The Plan permits the granting of stock options (including incentive stock options qualifying under Code Section 422 and nonqualified stock options), stock appreciation rights (SARs), restricted or unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing.
Participation in the Plan shall be open to all employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company, or of any affiliate of the Company, as may be selected by the Company from time to time. However, only employees of the Company, and of any parent or subsidiary of the Company, shall be eligible for the grant of an incentive stock option. The grant of an award at any time to any person shall not entitle that person to a grant of an award at any future time.
The shares of Common Stock that may be issued with respect to awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of shares of Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock under the Plan that may be issued as incentive stock options shall be shares. Regarding performance-based award limitations, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted in the form of options, SARs, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or performance award shares in a single fiscal year to a participant may not exceed of each form.

Bio-Convert is a Denmark-based preclinical-stage biotechnology company focused on revolutionizing the treatment of oral leukoplakia, which is a potentially malignant disorder affecting the oral mucosa. Oral leukoplakia is a white patch or plaque that can develop in the oral cavity and when accompanied by dysplasia, it becomes a marker of disease progression and patients can potentially develop oral cancer. Bio-Convert is developing a new pharmaceutical drug product for the treatment of oral leukoplakia and the prevention of oral cancer formation. This is achieved through a proprietary mucoadhesive oral topical formulation that delivers the drug without any systemic absorption. The aim of the treatment is therefore to eliminate the lesions or to reduce the malignant conversion rate of oral leukoplakia to oral cancer. The effect on oral cancer may improve the surgical removal procedure should this be needed for the oral cancer patients. Bio-Convert’s current plan is to conduct a pilot efficacy study in patients with oral leukoplakia.

NOTE 12 - INCOME TAX
Deferred
taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating
loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences
are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of
the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the
date of enactment. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The U.S. federal

The Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards may be substantially limited due to ownership change limitations that may occur as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since incurring losses. If the Company has completed an ownership change, utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards would be subject to annual limitations under Section 382. Any limitation could result in expiration of a portion of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

NOTE 13 - SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company operates as a single operating segment, which consists of Orocidin and Bio-Convert wholly-owned subsidiaries that are focused on developing medicines supporting oral health. The Company has one reportable segment, which consists of its single operating segment.
The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). When evaluating the Company’s financial performance and deciding how to allocate resources, the CODM regularly reviews total expenses and expenses by significant areas to make decisions on a company wide basis. The Company’s CODM uses net loss to evaluate past spending and to guide decisions of future spending. Net loss is used to monitor budget versus actual results.
The Company did not generate any material revenue during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company has no material intra-entity sales. As the Company is currently in the pre-revenue phase, the aforementioned operating expenses are the primary drivers that guide decisions of future spending and to monitor performance.
The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total assets.
The CODM does not separately evaluate performance by geographic region or product line, as the Company has not yet commenced commercial operations and has limited operations due to the current liquidity and funding of the Company. The Company’s operations are conducted within the United States of America and Denmark.
NOTE 14 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that no material subsequent events exist other than the following:

None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. If successful in effecting a transaction with an operating company, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). A 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements. 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.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. If successful in effecting a transaction with an operating company, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Equity Compensation Plan Information
On June 7, 2024, our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted our 2024 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan replaces the 2017 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan that was adopted by the Board of Directors and stockholders on August 16, 2023 (the “2017 Plan”). The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship, and to stimulate an active interest of these persons in our development and financial success. Under the 2024 Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of common stock, non-qualified stock options, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards. The purpose of the 2024 Plan is to provide an incentive to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship, and to stimulate an active interest of these persons in our development and financial success. Under the 2024 Plan, we are authorized to issue up to 7,000,000 shares of common stock, non-qualified stock options, performance shares, restricted stock and long-term incentive awards.
Administration. The 2024 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or the committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time (the “Administrator”). The Administrator determines the persons who are to receive awards, the types of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each such award and the terms and conditions of such awards. The Administrator also has the authority to interpret the provisions of the 2024 Plan and of any awards granted there under and to modify awards granted under the 2024 Plan. The Administrator may not, however, reduce the price of options or stock appreciation rights issued under the 2024 Plan without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders.
Eligibility. The 2024 Plan provides that awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or of any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company as the Administrator may determine. A person may be granted more than one award under the 2024 Plan.
Shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an option under the 2024 Plan but cease to be subject to such option for any reason (other than exercise of such option), and shares that are subject to an award granted under the 2024 Plan but are forfeited or repurchased by the Company at the original issue price, or that are subject to an award that terminates without shares being issued, will again be available for grant and issuance under the 2024 Plan.
Terms of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator determines many of the terms and conditions of each option and SAR granted under the 2024 Plan, including whether the option is to be an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option, whether the SAR is a related SAR or a freestanding SAR, the number of shares subject to each option or SAR, and the exercise price of the option and the periods during which the option or SAR may be exercised. Each option and SAR is evidenced by a grant agreement in such form as the Administrator approves and is subject to the following conditions (as described in further detail in the 2024 Plan):
(a) Vesting and Exercisability: Options, restricted shares and SARs become vested and exercisable, as applicable, within such periods, or upon such events, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion and as set forth in the related grant agreement. The term of each option is also set by the Administrator. However, a related SAR will be exercisable at the time or times, and only to the extent, that the option is exercisable and will not be transferable except to the extent that the option is transferable. A freestanding SAR will be exercisable as determined by the Administrator but in no event after 10 years from the date of grant.
| 22 |
(b) Exercise Price: Each grant agreement states the related option exercise price, which, in the case of SARs, may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares of common stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
(c) Method of Exercise: The option exercise price is typically payable in cash, common stock or a combination of cash of common stock, as determined by the Administrator, but may also be payable, at the discretion of the Administrator, in a number of other forms of consideration.
(d) Recapitalization; Change of Control: The number of shares subject to any award, and the number of shares issuable under the 2024 Plan, are subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, business combination or exchange of shares and the like. Except as otherwise provided in any written agreement between the participant and the Company in effect when a change in control occurs, in the event an acquiring company does not assume plan awards (i) all outstanding options and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable; (ii) for performance-based awards, all performance goals or performance criteria shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met, with award payout prorated for the portion of the performance period completed as of the change in control and payment to occur within 45 days of the change in control; (iii) all restrictions and conditional applicable to any restricted stock award shall lapse; (iv) all restrictions and conditions applicable to any restricted stock units shall lapse and payment shall be made within 45 days of the change in control; and (v) all other awards shall be delivered or paid within 45 days of the change in control.
(e) Other Provisions: The option grant and exercise agreements authorized under the 2024 Plan, which may be different for each option, may contain such other provisions as the Administrator deems advisable, including without limitation, (i) restrictions upon the exercise of the option and (ii) a right of repurchase in favor of the Company to repurchase unvested shares held by an optionee upon termination of the optionee’s employment at the original purchase price.
Amendment and Termination of the 2024 Plan. The Administrator, to the extent permitted by law, and with respect to any shares at the time not subject to awards, may suspend or discontinue the 2024 Plan or amend the 2024 Plan in any respect; provided that the Administrator may not, without approval of the stockholders, amend the 2024 Plan in a manner that requires stockholder approval.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock, as of July 15, 2025 of (i) each person known by us to beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of such shares; (ii) each of our directors and current executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table; and (iii) our current executive officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are beneficially owned, and the persons named as owners hold investment and voting power.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person, if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares. In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares, for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant, within 60 days of July 15, 2025. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person, and only such person, by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Mr. Tom Glasner Larsen is the spouse of Mrs. Glaesner, CEO of GK Partners and was a member of our board of directors from February 23, 2023 until his voluntary retirement on June 9, 2023. He was a beneficial owner of a controlling interest in NP Bioinnovation A/S (formerly Managementselskabet af 12.08.2020 A/S) until its acquisition by the Company on February 23, 2023. He was also a beneficial owner of a controlling interest in Orocidin A/S until its acquisition by the Company on May 13, 2024, and a beneficial owner of a controlling interest in Bio-Convert A/S until its acquisition by the Company on November 11, 2024.
Effective April 1, 2022, we issued to GK Partners, for financial services, a warrant (the “2022 GK Warrant”) to purchase up to 600,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, and which had an expiration date of December 31, 2023. The Company determined that the 2022 GK Warrant is not precluded from equity classification and was therefore recorded within additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at its issuance date fair value. On December 22, 2023, the expiration date of the warrant, covering 570,500 remaining unexercised warrant shares, was extended to December 31, 2024 . During the year ended March 31, 2024, GK Partners exercised a portion of its warrant for a total of 30,600 shares. The exercise price was $10.00 per share for total proceeds of $306,000. For the year ended March 31, 2025, GK Partners exercised a portion of its warrant for 57,400 shares. The exercise price was $10.00 per share for total proceeds of $576,000. On December 31, 2024 the 2022 GK Warrant expired.
Effective December 30, 2024, a new warrant was issued to GK Partners (the “2024 GK Warrant”) to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the greater of $8.91 and the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date of exercise. The 2024 GK Warrant expires on December 31, 2025. The Company determined that the 2024 GK Warrant was precluded from being classified within equity and was liability classified under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. During the year ended March 31, 2025, GK Partners exercised a portion of its 2024 GK Warrant for a total of 35,176 shares. The exercise price ranged from $8.91 to $8.95 per share for total proceeds of $313,455. As of March 31, 2025, the 2024 GK Warrant was terminated. Therefore, as of March 31, 2025, the Company recognized no warrant liability on the consolidated balance sheet. The measurement of fair value of the 2024 GK Warrants was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo Simulation model considering all relevant assumptions current as of March 31, 2025 presented in Note 6. The change in fair value resulting from the issuance of 2024 GK Warrant was recognized in change in fair value of warrant liability (related party) in the amount of $172,715 on the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended March 31, 2025. On March 31, 2025, the 2024 GK Warrants were terminated and remaining shares were recorded to a fair value of $167,000 to additional paid in capital at due to the related party relationship.
