On October 5, 2021, the Company consummated a public offering (the “IPO”) of 1,056,000 units (the “Units”), and the listing, effective October 1, 2021, of its shares of common stock and warrants that were offered in the IPO on The Nasdaq Stock Market, which included 1,056,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one warrant (each a “Warrant”) at a price of $6.25 per Unit. Each Warrant is immediately exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised for 158,400 Warrants to purchase shares of common stock. The shares of common stock and Warrants are separately transferred immediately upon issuance. Warrants to purchase 392,396 shares of common stock have been exercised, leaving an aggregate of 822,004 unexercised Warrants outstanding as of June 28, 2022.

Our common stock and Warrants are traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “NTRB” and “NTRBW,” respectively. On Thursday July 7, 2022, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $4.39 per share, and the last reported sale price for the Warrants was $5.58 per Warrant.

We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and as such, we have elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings.

Our primary business is the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our lead product is our AVERSA™ technology, an abuse deterrent technology that can be added to a new or existing transdermal patch with the goal of deterring the abuse of certain drugs when delivered transdermally. Our first product under development is our AVERSA fentanyl patch (“AVERSA Fentanyl”) to provide clinicians and patients with an extended-release, transdermal-delivered fentanyl product for use in managing chronic pain requiring around the clock opioid therapy, combined with our AVERSA® technology to reduce the abuse and misuse of fentanyl patches. Following our acquisition of 4P Therapeutics on August 1, 2018, we are planning to develop, and seek FDA approval of, a number of transdermal pharmaceutical products under development by 4P Therapeutics. With the acquisition of the transdermal, topical, cosmetic and nutraceutical business of Pocono Coated Products, LLC effective August 31, 2020, we manufacture on a contract basis transdermal, topical, coated and consumer products.

Selected Risks Associated with our Business and Operations

Our business is subject to significant risks, which are disclosed in more detail under “Risk Factors,” which begins on page 5, as a result of which an investment in our common stock is highly speculative and could result in the loss of your entire investment. Significant risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

●

Our business could be adversely affected by the effects of health pandemics or epidemics, including the recent outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared by the World Health Organization as a global pandemic, and is resulting in travel and other restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease, including state and local orders across the country, which, among other things, direct individuals to shelter at their places of residence, direct businesses and governmental agencies to cease non-essential operations at physical locations, prohibit certain non-essential gatherings, and order cessation of non-essential travel. The effects of these orders, government-imposed quarantines and measures we would take, such as work-from-home policies, may negatively impact productivity, disrupt our business and could delay our clinical programs and timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and other limitations on our ability to conduct our business in the ordinary course. These and similar, and perhaps more severe, disruptions in our operations could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. Further, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders, or the perception that such orders, shutdowns or other restrictions on the conduct of business operations could occur, related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases could impact personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities in the United States and other countries, or the availability or cost of materials, which could disrupt our supply chain.

	●	The FDA regulatory process may take longer and be more expensive than we anticipate without any assurance that we will obtain FDA approval.

	●	If we are not able to obtain FDA approval for our lead product, we may not have the resources to develop any other product, and we may not be able to continue in business.

	●	We may not be able to launch any products for which we receive FDA marketing approval.

●

We may not be able to establish a distribution network for the marketing and sale of any products for which we receive FDA approval.

	●	We may not be able to establish manufacturing facilities in compliance with FDA good manufacturing practices or to enter into manufacturing agreements for the manufacture of our products in an FDA approved manufacturing facility.

	●	It will be necessary to us to enter into a joint venture or other strategic relationship in order to develop, perform clinical testing for, manufacture or market any of our proposed products. We may not be able to enter into such a relationship, and any relationship may not be successful, and the other party may have business interests and priorities that are different from ours.

	●	We may not be able to protect our rights in our intellectual property, and we may be subject to intellectual property litigation which would be expensive and disruptive of our operations even if we eventually prevail on the merits.

	●	Unanticipated side effects or other adverse events resulting from the use of our product could require a recall of our products and, even if no recall is required, our reputation could be impaired by side effects.

	●	We may fail to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to our product. We may have to change or adapt our operations in the event of changes in national, regional and local government regulations, taxation, controls and political and economic developments that affect our products and the market for our products;

	●	We may be unable to accurately estimate anticipated expenses, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

	●	The terms of our recent financing, including the antidilution provisions of the warrants, may impair our ability to raise funds for our operations during the term of the warrants.

Recent Financings

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), dated December 7, 2020, with the Company, BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel, purchased 81,395 shares of common stock at a price of $8.60 per share, or $700,000. The transaction was completed at a closing on February 26, 2021.

On March 22, 2020, the Company issued in a private placement 46,828 units at a price of $11 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $14 per share. The warrants expire April 30, 2023. The Company issued a total of 46,828 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 46,828 shares of common stock. The Company received proceeds of $515,113.

In March 2020, a minority stockholder who had previously made loans of $215,000, made an additional loan to the Company in the amount of $60,000, increasing the total loans from the stockholder to $275,000. See Note 9 in the attached Financial Statements. On March 27, 2020, the Company issued 25,000 shares upon conversion of the notes in the principal balance of $275,000.

On March 25, 2020, the Company prepaid the convertible notes in the principal amount of $270,000 from the proceeds of the private placement. The total payments, including the prepayment penalty and accrued interest, was $345,565. As a result of the payment of the notes, the derivative liability, which was $928,774 at January 31, 2020, was reduced to zero. As a result of the terms of the private placement, the warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at lesser of (a) $20.90 or (b) if the Company completes a private offering, 110% of the initial offering price of the common stock in the public offering, became a warrant to purchase 95,000 shares at $11 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the warrant. See Notes 6 and 10 in the attached Financial Statements.

On October 30, 2019, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with two investors pursuant to which we issued to the investor for $250,000 (i) 6% one-year convertible notes in the principal amount of $270,000 and (ii) three-year warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the lesser of (i) $20.90 or (ii) if we complete this offering, 110% of the initial public offering price of the common stock in this offering, which, based on an initial public offering price of the common stock in this offering of $12.00 per share, would be $13.20 per share. The net proceeds from this financing, of approximately $203,000, were used for working capital. The notes are convertible at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the per share price of our common stock offered hereby or (ii) the variable conversion price, which is defined as 70% of the lowest trading price of the common stock during the 20 trading days preceding the date of conversion. The conversion price and the percentage of the trading price is subject to downward adjustment in the event we fail to comply with its obligations under the note.

On October 5, 2021, the Company consummated a public offering of 1,056,000 Units, each Unit consisting of one share of common stock and a Warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a price of $6.25 per Unit. Each Warrant is immediately exercisable, will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised for 158,400 warrants to purchase shares of common stock The shares of common stock and Warrants are separately transferred immediately upon issuance.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

As a company with less than $1.07 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of reduced reporting requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies, although as a smaller reporting company we are taking advantage of reduced reporting requirements. In particular, as an emerging growth company, we:

	●	may present only two years of audited financial statements and related disclosure under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A;

	●	are not required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives, which is commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”;

	●	are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

	●	are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

	●	are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and chief executive officer pay ratio disclosure;

	●	will not be required to conduct an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting until two years after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions. However, since we have already adopted certain new or revised accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act, we are not able to take advantage of the delayed phase in of the new or revised accounting standards.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. The JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues (as adjusted for inflation), have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Under current Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules, however, we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we have either (i) a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) annual revenues of less than $100 million and a public float of less than $700 million.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in this prospectus include forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. The risks set forth below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties may exist that could also adversely affect our business, prospects or operations. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or a significant part of your investment.

Because we are an early-stage company with minimal revenue and a history of losses and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future, we cannot assure you that we can or will be able to operate profitably.

During the year ended January 31, 2022, we generated revenues of $1,422,154, a loss of $6,372,715 and a negative cash flow from operations of $2,809,223. As of January 31, 2022, we had a working capital surplus of $4,686,112, as compared with a working capital deficit of $2,882,794 as of January 31, 2021. We are subject to the risks common to start-up, pre-revenue enterprises, including, among other factors, undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. Drug development companies typically incur substantial losses during the product development and FDA testing phase of the business and do not generate revenues until after the drug has received FDA approval, which cannot be assured, and until the company has started to sell the product. We can give no assurance that we can or will ever be successful in achieving profitability and the likelihood of our success must be considered in light of our early stage of operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate profitably or generate positive cash flow. If we cannot achieve profitability, we may be forced to cease operations and you may suffer a total loss of your investment.

The Russian/Belarus-Ukrainian conflict may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. The specific impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows is not determinable as of the date hereof. However, to the extent that such military action spreads to other countries, intensifies, or otherwise remains active, such conflict could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. To date, this conflict is predicted to have a destabilizing effect on the world’s economy, resulting in higher energy prices and inflationary pressures generally in the world’s economy, as well as possible supply chain restraints, which will have negative effects on the world’s economy generally and to our ongoing operations specifically. The duration of this conflict, as well as its effects on the world economy are not known at this point. These factors may lead to a lack of certainty or other changes in the capital markets and limit or reduce our potential for raising the additional capital that we will require to execute our business plan in a timely fashion.

Our business will be likely be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the response to the pandemic will affect our business in a number of ways, including, but are not limited to, the following:

Because we do not have a product we can market in the United States, we cannot predict when or whether we will operate profitably.

Our lead product, which is our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, is currently in development and is not yet approved by the FDA in the United States or by any other regulatory agency in any other country. We do not have any product that we can market in the United States. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and market any products or achieve or attain profitability. If we are able to obtain financing for our operations, we expect that we will incur substantial expenses as we continue with our product development programs and clinical trials. Further, if we are required by applicable regulatory authorities, including the FDA as well as the comparable regulatory agencies in other countries in which we may seek to market product, to perform studies in addition to those we currently anticipate, our expenses will increase beyond expectations and the timing of any potential product approval may be delayed. As a result, we expect to continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future.

A number of factors, including, but not limited to the following, may affect our ability to develop our business and operate profitably:

Our failure to develop our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system will impair our ability to continue in business.

Our lead product is our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, and we are devoting our resources primarily to developing this product to enable us to obtain FDA approval and to market the product. If we are not able to obtain necessary financing to develop, obtain FDA marketing approval and market this product successfully, we may not have the resources to develop additional products, and we may not be able to continue in business.

Before we can market in the United States any product which is classified by the FDA as a drug, we must obtain FDA marketing approval.

Our proposed transdermal products are drug-device combinations that are considered by the FDA to be drugs, which require approval by the FDA. In order to obtain FDA approval, it is necessary to conduct a series of preclinical and clinical tests to confirm that the product is safe and effective. Even though the medication that is being delivered through our transdermal patch may have already received FDA approval, because we are changing the dosage form or route of administration, we will need to complete, to the FDA’s satisfaction, all of the studies required to demonstrate safety and efficacy. At any point, the FDA could ask us to perform additional tests or to refine and redo a test that we had previously completed. The process of obtaining FDA approval could take many years, with no assurance that the FDA will approve the product. The FDA also will need to approve the manufacturing process and the manufacturing facility.

We may need to rely on a contract research organization to conduct our preclinical and clinical trials.

Although we believe that we, through 4P Therapeutics, have the capabilities to conduct preclinical studies and early- stage clinical studies in house, we may need to rely on third party contract research organizations to conduct our pivotal preclinical and clinical trials. Our failure or the failure of the contract research organization to conduct the trials in compliance with FDA regulations could possibly derail our obtaining FDA approval and could require us to redo any preclinical or clinical trials which we or the contract research organization administered.

We may encounter delays in completing clinical trials, which would increase our costs and delay market entry.

We may experience delays in completing the clinical trials necessary for FDA approval. These delays may result from a number of factors which could prevent us from starting the trial on time or completing the study in a timely manner, which may include factors out of our control. Since we may need to rely on third parties for supplying us with the drug and transdermal patches used in the trials, there may be various reasons for us to experience a delay in obtaining the clinical materials required to start each clinical trial, which may include factors out of our control. Clinical trials can be delayed or terminated for a number of reasons, including delay or failure to:

Patient enrollment is also a significant factor in the timely completion of clinical trials and is affected by many factors, including the size and nature of the patient population, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial, the design of the clinical trial, competing clinical trials and clinicians’ and patients’ perceptions as to the potential advantages of the drug being studied in relation to available alternatives, including any new drugs or treatments that may be approved for the indications we are investigating.

We may also encounter delays if a clinical trial is suspended or terminated by us, by the independent review boards of the institutions in which such trials are being conducted, by the trial’s data safety monitoring board, or by the FDA. Such authorities may suspend or terminate one or more of our clinical trials due to a number of factors, including our failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with relevant regulatory requirements or clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, failure to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial.

If we experience delays in carrying out or completing clinical trials for any product candidates, the commercial prospects of our product candidates may be harmed, and our ability to generate revenues from any of these product candidates will be delayed. In addition, any delays in completing our clinical trials will increase our costs, slow down the product development and approval process and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenues. Any of these occurrences may significantly harm our business and financial condition. In addition, many of the factors that cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement or completion of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of our product candidates.

Our ability to finance our operations and generate revenues depends on the clinical and commercial success of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system and our other related product candidates and failure to achieve such success will negatively impact our business.

Our prospects, including our ability to finance our operations and generate revenues, depend on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, which itself requires substantial financing, as well as our other product candidates. The clinical and commercial success of our product candidates depends on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:

If we fail to achieve these objectives or to overcome the challenges presented above, many of which are beyond our control, in a timely manner, we could experience significant delays or an inability to successfully commercialize our product candidates. Accordingly, even if we obtain FDA approval to market our products, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues through the sale of our products to enable us to continue our business.

Since we do not have commercial manufacturing capability, if we are unable to establish manufacturing facilities, we may have to enter into a manufacturing agreement with a manufacturer that has been approved by the FDA.

Any commercial manufacturer of our products and the manufacturing facilities where we make our commercial products will be subject to FDA inspection. Part of the process of seeking FDA approval to market our products is the FDA’s approval of the manufacturing process and facility. Although we may establish our own manufacturing facilities, the establishment of a manufacturing facility is very costly, and, unless we obtain funding for that purpose, it would be necessary for us to engage a contract manufacturer who has experience is manufacturing FDA-approved transdermal products. By relying on a contract manufacturer, we will be dependent upon the manufacturer, whose interests may be different from ours. Any contract manufacturer will be responsible for product quality and for meeting regulatory requirements. If the manufacturer does not meet our quality standards and delivers products that do not meet our specifications, we may both incur liability for breach of our warranty to our customer, as well as liability for any adverse events, including death, that may result from the use, abuse or accidental misuse of the product. Regardless of whether we are able to make a claim against the contract manufacturer, our reputation may be harmed and we may lose business as a result. Further, the contract manufacturer may have other customers and may allocate its resources based on the contract manufacturer’s interest rather than our interest. Furthermore, we may not be able to assure ourselves that we will get favorable pricing.

If we or any third-party manufacturer fails to comply with FDA current good manufacturing practices, we may not be able to sell our products until and unless the manufacture becomes compliant.

All FDA approved drugs, including our proposed transdermal products, must be manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices. All manufacturing facilities are inspected by the FDA as a matter of routine inspection or for a specific cause. If a manufacturer fails to comply with all applicable regulations, the FDA can prohibit us from distributing products manufactured in those facilities, whether they are a contract manufacturer or own facility. Failure to be in compliance with good manufacturing practices could result in the FDA closing the facilities or limiting our use of the facilities.

If the FDA implements Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies policies for any of our proposed products, we will need to comply with such policies before we can obtain FDA approval or the product.

The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 gave FDA the authority to require a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) from manufacturers to ensure that the benefits of a drug or biological product outweigh its risks. If one of our proposed product candidates does receive regulatory approval, the approval may be limited to specific conditions and dosages or the indications for use may otherwise be limited, which could restrict the commercial value of the product. The FDA may require a REMS, which can include a medication guide, patient package insert, a communication plan, elements to assure safe use and implementation system, and include a timetable for assessment of the REMS. Further, the FDA may require that certain contraindications, warnings or precautions be included in the product labeling and may require testing and surveillance programs to monitor the safety of approved products that have been commercialized. In addition, the FDA may require post-approval testing which involves clinical trials designed to further assess a drug product’s safety and effectiveness after the NDA.

Depending on the extent of the REMS requirements, any U.S. launch may be delayed, the costs to commercialize may increase substantially and the potential commercial market could be restricted. Furthermore, risks that are not adequately addressed through the proposed REMS program may also prevent or delay its approval for commercialization.

Our products will continue to be subject to FDA review after FDA approval is given.

Discovery of previously unknown problems with our products or unanticipated problems with the manufacturing processes and facilities, even after FDA and other regulatory approvals of the product for commercial sale, may result in the imposition of significant restrictions, including withdrawal of the product from the market.

The FDA and other regulatory agencies continue to review products even after the products receive agency approval. If and when the FDA approves one of our products, its manufacture and marketing will be subject to ongoing regulation, which could include compliance with current good manufacturing practices, adverse event reporting requirements and general prohibitions against promoting products for unapproved or “off-label” uses. We are also subject to inspection and market surveillance by the FDA for compliance with these and other requirements. Any enforcement action resulting from the failure, even by inadvertence, to comply with these requirements could affect the manufacture and marketing of our products. In addition, the FDA or other regulatory agencies could withdraw a previously approved product from the market upon receipt of newly discovered information. The FDA or another regulatory agency could also require us to conduct additional, and potentially expensive, studies in areas outside our approved indicated uses.

We must continually monitor the safety of our products once approved and marketed for potential adverse events which could jeopardize our ability to continue marketing the products.

As with all medical products, the use of our products could sometimes produce undesirable side effects or adverse reactions or events (referred to cumulatively as adverse events). For the most part, we expect these adverse events to be known and occur at some predicted frequency based on our experience in the clinical development program. When adverse events are reported to us, we are required to investigate each event and the circumstances surrounding it to determine whether it was caused by our product and whether a previously unrecognized safety issue exists. We will also be required to periodically report summaries of these events to the applicable regulatory authorities. If the adverse effects are significant, we may be required to recall our product. We cannot assure you that our transdermal products will not cause skin irritation or other adverse events. Our ability to market our products may be impaired by unanticipated adverse events and any recall of our product. Because we are an early-stage company, our reputation, and our ability to market products, could be affected more severely than a major pharmaceutical company.

In addition, the use of our products could be associated with serious and unexpected adverse events, or with less serious reactions at a greater than expected frequency. Such issues may arise when our products are used in critically ill or otherwise compromised patient populations. When unexpected events are reported to us, we are required to make a thorough investigation to determine causality and the implications for product safety. These events must also be specifically reported to the applicable regulatory authorities. If our evaluation concludes, or regulatory authorities perceive, that there is an unreasonable risk associated with the product, we would be obligated to withdraw the impacted lot(s) of that product or recall the product and discontinue marketing until all problems are satisfactorily resolved. Furthermore, an unexpected adverse event of a new product could be recognized only after extensive use of the product, which could expose us to product liability risks, enforcement action by regulatory authorities and damage to our reputation and public image.

A serious adverse finding concerning the risk of any of our products by any regulatory authority could adversely affect our reputation, business and financial results.

If we obtain FDA approval to market our products, we expect to spend considerable time and money complying with federal and state laws and regulations governing their sale, and, if we are unable to fully comply with such laws and regulations, we could face substantial penalties.

Health care providers, physicians and others will play a primary role in the recommendation and prescription of our proposed products. Further, if we use third-party sales and marketing providers, they may expose us to broadly applicable fraud and abuse and other health care laws and regulations that may constrain the business or financial arrangements and relationships through which we market, sell and distribute our products. Applicable federal and state health care laws and regulations are expected to include, but not be limited to, the following:

Our failure to comply with any of these federal and state health care laws and regulations, or health care laws in foreign jurisdictions, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, result of operations and cash flows.

Before we can market our products outside of the United States, we will need to obtain regulatory approval in each country in which we propose to sell our products.

In order to market and sell our products in jurisdictions other than the United States, we must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The regulatory approval process outside the United States generally includes all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA and can involve additional testing.

In addition, in many countries worldwide, it is required that the product be approved for reimbursement before the product can be approved for sale in that country. We may not obtain approvals from regulatory authorities outside the United States on a timely basis, if at all. Even if we were to receive approval in the United States, approval by the FDA for marketing in the United States does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries. Similarly, approval by one regulatory authority outside the United States would not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries. We may not be able to file for marketing approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any market. If we are unable to obtain approval of our product candidates by regulatory authorities in foreign jurisdictions, the commercial prospects of those product candidates may be significantly diminished and our business prospects could be impaired.

Outside the United States, particularly in member states of the European Union, the pricing of prescription drugs is subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations or the successful completion of health technology assessment procedures with governmental authorities can take considerable time after receipt of marketing approval for a product. In addition, there can be considerable pressure by governments and other stakeholders on prices and reimbursement levels, including as part of cost containment measures. Certain countries allow companies to fix their own prices for medicines but monitor the pricing.

In addition to regulations in the United States, if we market outside of the United States, we will be subject to a variety of regulations governing, among other things, clinical trials and any commercial sales and distribution of our products. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, we must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in foreign countries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries.

If we do not have sufficient product liability insurance, we may be subject to claims that are in excess of our net worth.

Before we market any pharmaceutical product, we will need to purchase significant product liability insurance. However, in the event of major claims from the use of our products, it is possible that our product liability insurance will not be sufficient to cover claims against us. We cannot assure you that we will not face liability arising out of the use of our products which is significantly in excess of the limits of our product liability insurance. In such event, if we do not have the funds or access to the funds necessary to satisfy such liability, we may be unable to continue in business.

Because some of the patches we are developing, such as our abuse deterrent fentanyl patch, have potential severe side effects, we may face liability in the event patients suffer serious, possibly life-threatening, side effects from our products.

Fentanyl patches have known side effects and may cause serious or life-threatening breathing problems due to opioid-induced respiratory depression. In addition, taking certain medications with fentanyl may increase the risk of serious or life-threatening breathing problems, sedation or coma. Because of the seriousness of the side effects, fentanyl patches should only be used in accordance labelling approved by the FDA or by the applicable regulatory authorities outside of the United States. Fentanyl patches are only indicated for the treatment of people who are tolerant to opioid medications because they have taken this type of medication for at least one week and should not be used to treat mild or moderate pain, short-term pain, pain after an operation or medical or dental procedure, or pain that can be controlled by medication that is taken on an as-needed basis. Although we will include all warnings on the packaging that are required by the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities, claims may be made against us in the event that death or serious side effects result from the use of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, even if prescribed for a patient for whom fentanyl patches should not be prescribed. We cannot assure you that we will not face significant liability as a result of such side effects and we may not have sufficient product liability insurance to cover any damages that may be assessed against us.

Because of our lack of funds, we may have to enter into a joint venture or strategic relationship or licensing agreement with a third party to develop and seek to obtain FDA approval of our potential products.

Our present efforts are directed to developing and seeking FDA approval for our pipeline of transdermal pharmaceutical products including our lead product, the abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system. The development of pharmaceutical products is very expensive with no assurance of obtaining FDA approval. Because of the costs involved, we may need to enter into a joint venture or strategic alliance or licensing or similar agreement with a third party to bring our products to market, in which event we would have to give up a significant percentage of the equity in or rights to the product and require the other party to provide the necessary financing and personnel and to take a significant role in making the decisions relating to the development, testing, marketing and manufacturing of the product. The third party may have interests which are different from, and possibly in conflict with, our own. If we are unable to attract competent parties to distribute and market any product which we may develop, or if such parties’ efforts are inadequate, we will not be able to implement our business strategy and may have to cease operations. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in entering into joint ventures or other strategic relationships or that any relationship into which we may enter will develop a marketable product or that we will generate any revenue or net income from such a venture.

We may decide not to continue developing or commercializing any products at any time during development or after approval, which would reduce or eliminate our potential return on investment for those product candidates.

We may decide to discontinue the development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system or any other product in our pipeline or not to continue to commercialize any potential product for a variety of reasons, such as the appearance of new technologies that make our product less commercially viable, an increase in competition, changes in or failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, changes in the regulatory or public policy environment, the discovery of unforeseen side effects during clinical development or after the approved product has been marketed or the occurrence of adverse events at a rate or severity level that is greater than experienced in prior clinical trials. If we discontinue a program in which we have invested significant resources, we will not receive any return on our investment.

If any of our potential products are approved for marketing but fail to achieve the broad degree of physician or market acceptance necessary for commercial success, our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected.

If any of the products in our pipeline receives FDA approval thereby allowing us to market the product in the United States, it will be necessary for us to generate acceptance of our product for the indications covered by the FDA approval. In order to generate acceptance in the marketplace, we will need to demonstrate to physicians, patients and payors that our product provides a distinct advantage or better outcome at a price that reflects the value of our product as compared with existing products. We will need to develop and implement a marketing program directed at both physicians and the general public. Since we do not presently have the resources necessary to develop or implement an in-house marketing program and we may not have the funds to do so if and when we obtain FDA approval to market our product, we will need to establish a distribution network though license and distribution agreements with third parties who have the capability to market our product to physicians, and we will be dependent upon the ability of these third parties to market our products effectively. We cannot assure you that we will be able to negotiate license and distribution agreements with terms that are acceptable to us. Since we do not have an established track record and our product pipeline is relatively small, we may be at a disadvantage in negotiating the terms of license and distribution agreements. Further, we may have little control over the development and implementation of our licensee’s marketing program, and our licensees may have interests that are inconsistent with ours with respect to the allocation of resources and implementation of the marketing program. We cannot assure you that a marketing program for any of our products can or will be implemented effectively or that we will be successful in developing physician and emergency service acceptance of our products.

If we seek to market any products in our pipeline in countries other than the United States, we will need to comply with the regulations of each country in which we seek to market our products.

None of our pharmaceutical products are currently approved for sale by any government authority in any jurisdiction. If we fail to comply with regulatory requirements in any market we decide to enter, or to obtain and maintain required approvals, or if regulatory approvals in the relevant markets are delayed, our target market will be reduced and our ability to realize the full market potential of our products will be harmed. Marketing approval in one jurisdiction, including the United States, does not ensure marketing approval in another, but a failure or delay in obtaining marketing approval in one jurisdiction may have a negative effect on the regulatory process in others. Failure to obtain a marketing approval in countries in which we seek to market our products or any delay or setback in obtaining such approval would impair our ability to develop foreign markets for any of our products.

The drug delivery industry is subject to rapid technological change and, our failure to keep up with technological developments may impair our ability to market our products.

Our products use technology which we developed for the transdermal delivery of drugs. The field of drug delivery is subject to rapid technological changes. Our future success will depend upon our ability to keep abreast of the latest developments in the industry and to keep pace with advances in technology and changing customer requirements. If we cannot keep pace with such changes and advances, our proposed products could be rendered obsolete, which would result in our having to cease its operations.

If we obtain FDA approval, we will face significant competition from better known and better capitalized companies.

If we obtain FDA approval for any of our products, we expect to face significant competition from existing companies, which are better known and already have developed relationships with physicians within the healthcare system. Any product we may develop will compete with existing medications performing the same medicinal functions, which may include transdermal patches. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully. In addition, even if we are able to commercialize our product candidates, we may not be able to price them competitively with current standard of care products or their price may drop considerably due to factors outside our control. If this happens or the price of materials and manufacture increases dramatically, our ability to continue to operate our business would be materially harmed and we may be unable to commercialize any products successfully. In addition, other pharmaceutical companies may be engaged in developing, patenting, manufacturing and marketing products that compete with those that we are developing. These potential competitors may include large and experienced companies that enjoy significant competitive advantages over us, such as greater financial, research and development, manufacturing, personnel and marketing resources, greater brand recognition and more experience and expertise in obtaining marketing approvals from the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities.

Healthcare reforms by governmental authorities, court decisions affecting health care policies and related reductions in pharmaceutical pricing, reimbursement and coverage by third-party payors may adversely affect our business.

We expect the healthcare industry to face increased limitations on reimbursement, rebates and other payments as a result of healthcare reform, which could adversely affect third-party coverage of our proposed products and how much or under what circumstances healthcare providers will prescribe or administer our products, if approved.

In both the U.S. and other countries, sales of our products, if approved for marketing, will depend in part upon the availability of reimbursement from third-party payors, which include governmental authorities, managed care organizations and other private health insurers. Third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price and examining the cost effectiveness of medical products and services.

Increasing expenditures for healthcare have been the subject of considerable public attention in the United States. Both private and government entities are seeking ways to reduce or contain healthcare costs. Numerous proposals that would effect changes in the United States healthcare system have been introduced or proposed in Congress and in some state legislatures, including reducing reimbursement for prescription products and reducing the levels at which consumers and healthcare providers are reimbursed for purchases of pharmaceutical products.

Cost reduction initiatives and changes in coverage implemented through legislation or regulation could decrease utilization of and reimbursement for any approved products, which in turn would affect the price we can receive for those products. Any reduction in reimbursement that results from federal legislation or regulation may also result in a similar reduction in payments from private payors, since private payors often follow Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement rates.

Significant developments that may adversely affect pricing in the United States include the enactment of federal healthcare reform laws and regulations, including the Affordable Care Act, or ACA, which is popularly known as Obamacare, and the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003. A recent district court decision which struck down Obamacare, if upheld, could have a material adverse effect upon reimbursement and payment for products such as our proposed products. Changes to the healthcare system enacted as part of any healthcare reform in the United States, as well as the increased purchasing power of entities that negotiate on behalf of Medicare, Medicaid, and private sector beneficiaries, may result in increased pricing pressure by influencing, for instance, the reimbursement policies of third-party payors. Regulatory changes which have the effect of decreasing the use of opioids has resulted in a decrease in the size of the market for opioid products, including fentanyl, could impact the market for our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system or any other opioid-based transdermal product we may develop.

It is difficult and costly to protect our proprietary rights, and we may not be able to ensure their protection.

Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining patent protection and trade secret protection for our technology which is incorporated in our products as well as successfully defending these patents against third-party challenges, should any be brought. 4P Therapeutics originally filed an international patent application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty for worldwide prosecution of the abuse deterrent transdermal technology intellectual property used in our lead product, the abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system.

The AVERSA abuse deterrent technology utilized in our AVERSA product pipeline is covered by an international intellectual property portfolio with patents issued in 44 countries including the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, Mexico, and Australia. Patent prosecution is still pending in Canada and China. These patents provide patent coverage to 2035. We continue to build on our proprietary positions in the United States and internationally for our product candidates AVERSA Fentanyl, AVERSA buprenorphine and AVERSA methylphenidate as well as other products and technology that we may have in development. Our policy is to pursue, maintain and defend patent rights developed internally or acquired externally and to protect the technology, inventions and improvements that are commercially important to the development of our business. We cannot be sure that patents will be granted with respect to any of our pending patent applications or with respect to any patent applications filed by us in the future, nor can we be sure that any of our existing patents or any patents granted to us in the future will be commercially useful in protecting our technology. We also rely on trade secrets to protect our commercial products and product candidates. Our commercial success also depends in part on our non-infringement of the patents or proprietary rights of third parties.

Our ability to stop third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing products utilizing our proprietary or patented technology is dependent upon the extent to which we have rights under valid and enforceable patents or trade secrets that cover these activities. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions for which important legal principles remain unresolved. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biopharmaceutical patents has emerged to date in the United States. The biopharmaceutical patent situation outside the United States varies from country to country and is even more uncertain. Changes in either the patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the United States and other countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that may be allowed or enforced in any patents we may be granted. Further, if any patents are granted and are subsequently deemed invalid and unenforceable, it could impact our ability to license our technology and, as noted previously, fend off competitive challenges. Patent litigation is very expensive and we may not have sufficient funds to defend our proprietary technology from infringement, either as a plaintiff in an action seeking to stop infringers from using our technology, or as a defendant in an action against us alleging infringement by us.

The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain because legal means afford only limited protection and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep our competitive advantage. For example:

If we seek to expand our business through acquisition, we may not be successful in identifying acquisition targets or integrating their businesses with our existing business.

We have recently expanded our business by acquisition, and we may make acquisitions in the future. In 2017, we issued 1,250,000 shares of common stock, valued at $2,500,000, in connection with our proposed acquisition of Advanced Health Brands, Inc., but the stock of Advanced Health Brands was never transferred to us and the value of the intellectual property we were to have acquired did not have the value we anticipated, with the result that we incurred a $2,500,000 impairment loss in the year ended January 31, 2018. In September 2018, we entered into an agreement to acquire Carmel Biosciences Inc., and in November 2018, we terminated the agreement and are in litigation with the purported sellers of the company to us. We previously entered into another acquisition agreement which was rescinded shortly after the agreement was executed. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we complete will be successful or that any acquisition agreement we may enter into will result in an acquisition. An acquisition can be unsuccessful for a number of reasons, including the following:

If any of the foregoing or any other events which we do not contemplate happen, we may incur significant expenses, which we may not be able to cover, and the development of our business can be impaired. We cannot assure you that any acquisition we will make will be successful.

We may not be able to recover the 1,200,000 shares of common stock we issued in connection with our proposed acquisition of Advanced Health Brands.

On May 22, 2017, we entered into an agreement to acquire Advanced Health Brands, which held six provisional patents for transdermal products. Pursuant to the agreement, we were to issue 1,250,000 shares of common stock, valued at $2,500,000, in exchange for the stock of Advanced Health Brands and a related corporation. In August 2017, when we issued the shares to the Advanced Health Brands stockholders, the Advanced Health Brands stock had not been transferred to us. Although we did not have title to the shares of Advanced Health Brands stock, we treated the transaction as completed and we announced that we had acquired Advanced Health Brands, relying on the stockholders’ obligation to transfer the shares to us. We had appointed two of the Advanced Health Brands stockholders as directors and executive officers. In January 2018, we recognized an impairment loss of $2,500,000 based on both our failure to obtain title to the Advanced Health Brands stock and our conclusion that the provisional patents that were held by Advanced Health Brands did not have any value to us. In December 2018 50,000 shares were returned by one of the defendants. We have commenced legal actions against Advanced Health Brands and its stockholders in Florida and New York. In the Florida action, the court ruled against us. On February 1, 2019, we appealed the court’s order. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with one of the defendants, that defendant returned the 50,000 shares which had been issued to her, and the shares were cancelled as of January 31, 2019. On March 20, 2020, the Florida district court of appeal reversed the lower court ruling in the Florida state court action that dismissed our complaint with prejudice, and gave us leave to file an amended complaint. The New York action was recently commenced against the stockholders of Advanced Health Brands, and the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in either action, that we will be able to recover either the 1,200,000 shares of common stock or any monetary damages from the Advanced Health Brands stockholders or that we will not incur any liability as a result of either our issuance of the shares or our failure to provide the necessary documentation to permit the Advanced Health Brands stockholders to sell their shares pursuant to Rule 144 or from our treating and announcing the acquisition as completed or based on other claims.

We are dependent on third party distributors for the international marketing of our consumer products and complying with applicable laws.

We do not currently sell or market our consumer transdermal products domestically, or for our international sales, directly to international consumers, and we rely on distributors to sell and market these products. We cannot market our consumer transdermal patch products in the United States without first obtaining FDA approval. We do not plan to seek FDA approval or market these products in the United States at this time. We plan to sell our transdermal consumer products to distributors in those countries in which the products can be sold in compliance with all applicable regulations without our spending significant monies for preclinical and clinical studies to obtain regulatory approval.

We are dependent upon our chief executive officer, our president and our chief operating officer.

We are dependent upon Gareth Sheridan, our chief executive officer, Serguei Melnik, our president and Dr. Alan Smith, our chief operating officer who is president of 4P Therapeutics. Although Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Melnik have employment agreements with us, the employment agreements does not guarantee that the officer will continue with us. We do not have an employment agreement with Dr. Smith. The loss of Mr. Sheridan, Mr. Melnik or Dr. Smith would materially impair our ability to conduct our business.

If we are unable to attract, train and retain technical and financial personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our future success depends, to a significant extent, on our ability to attract, train and retain key management, technical, regulatory and financial personnel. Recruiting and retaining capable personnel with experience in pharmaceutical product development is vital to our success. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel, and, competition is likely to increase. We cannot assure you we will be able to attract or retain the personnel we require. Our financial condition is likely to impair our ability to attract qualified candidates. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

Our lack of internal controls over financial reporting may affect the market for and price of our common stock.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to file a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. Our disclosure controls and our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective. We do not have the financial resources or personnel to develop or implement systems that would provide us with the necessary information on a timely basis so as to be able to implement financial controls The absence of internal controls over financial reporting may inhibit investors from purchasing our stock and may make it more difficult for us to raise capital or borrow money. Implementing any appropriate changes to our internal controls may require specific compliance training of our directors and employees, entail substantial costs in order to modify our existing accounting systems, take a significant period of time to complete and divert management’s attention from other business concerns. These changes may not, however, be effective in developing or maintaining internal control.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.

The trading volume in our stock is low, which may result in volatility in our stock price. As a result, any reported prices may not reflect the price at which you would be able to sell shares of common stock if you want to sell any shares you own or buy if you wish to buy shares. Further, stocks with a low trading volume may be more subject to manipulation than a stock that has a significant public float and is actively traded. The price of our stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following, in addition to the risks described above and general market and economic conditions:

Raising funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities could dilute the net tangible book value of the common stock and impose restrictions on our working capital.

We anticipate that we will require funds in addition to the net proceeds from this offering for our business. If we were to raise capital by issuing equity securities, either alone or in connection with a non-equity financing, the net tangible book value of the then outstanding common stock could decline. If the additional equity securities were issued at a per share price less than the market price, which is customary in the private placement of equity securities, the holders of the outstanding shares would suffer dilution, which could be significant. Further, if we are able to raise funds from the sale of debt securities, the lenders may impose restrictions on our operations and may impair our working capital as we service any such debt obligations.

Stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities.

We will need to raise substantial funds in order to develop our products. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not which is less than the market price and which may be based on a discount from market at the time of issuance. Stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our present and future stock incentive programs. In addition, the sale of shares and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares of common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our Common Stock.

If we fail to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, such as the corporate governance requirements or the minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to de-list our securities. Such a de-listing would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. In the event of a de-listing, we would take actions to restore our compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements, but we can provide no assurance that any such action taken by us would allow our Common Stock to become listed again, stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our Common Stock, prevent our Common Stock from dropping below the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or prevent future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements.

We and our senior executive officers settled an SEC investigation, which may affect the market for and the market price of our common stock and our ability to list on a stock exchange.

Following an investigation into the accuracy of statements in our Form 10 registration statement filed June 2, 2016, as amended, and our Form 10-K annual report filed May 8, 2017 that did not accurately reflect the FDA’s jurisdiction over our consumer products and did not disclose that we could not legally market these products in the United States, a Wells notice which we, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer received on August 10, 2017 and a Wells submission which we and the officers submitted in response to the Wells notice, the SEC, on December 26, 2018, announced that it has accepted our settlement offer and instituted settled an administrative cease-and-desist proceeding against us and our chief executive officer and chief financial officer. The SEC’s administrative order, dated December 26, 2018, finds that we and the officers consented – without admitting or denying any findings by the SEC — to cease-and-desist orders against them for violations by us of Sections 12(g) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder, which require issuers to file accurate registration statements and annual reports with the Commission; violations by the officers for causing our violations of the above issuer reporting provisions; and violations by the officers of Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, which requires each principal executive and principal financial officer of issuers to attest that annual reports filed with the SEC do not contain any untrue statements of material fact. In addition to consenting to the cease-and-desist orders, the officers have each agreed to pay a $25,000 civil penalty to resolve the investigation. The administrative order does not impose a civil penalty or any other monetary relief against us. The settlement may affect the market for and the market price of our common stock.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile and your investment in our common stock could suffer a decline in value.

Because of our executive officers’ stock ownership and stock ownership of certain other stockholders that have invested in the company, these stockholders have the power to elect all directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder approval.

Our officers and directors as a group beneficially own approximately 32% of our common stock. As a result, they have the effective power using their contacts with a limited number of other shareholders to elect all of our directors and to approve any action requiring stockholder approval.

Raising funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities could dilute the net tangible book value of the common stock and impose restrictions on our working capital.

Stockholders may experience significant dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities.

We may issue preferred stock whose terms could adversely affect the voting power or value of our common stock.

Our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our common stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect a number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.

For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

We are classified as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, we will not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (ii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (iii) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation, or (iv) hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if we have more than $1.07 billion of revenues in a fiscal year, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.07 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. To the extent that we rely on any of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies, you will receive less information about our executive compensation and internal control over financial reporting than issuers that are not emerging growth companies. If some investors find our common stock to be less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus.

It should be noted that current public health threats could adversely affect our ongoing or planned business operations. In particular, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in quarantines, restrictions on travel and other business and economic disruptions. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage, including the partners and other third parties with whom we conduct business, were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially and adversely impacted. The measures being taken by service providers and government agencies to suppress the spread of COVID-19 infection may delay time to production of our planned abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system product and therefor delay the time of filing with FDA for approval.

Our primary business is the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our lead product is our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system which we are developing to provide clinicians and patients with an extended-release transdermal fentanyl product for use in managing chronic pain requiring around the clock opioid therapy combined with properties designed to help combat the opioid crisis by deterring the abuse and misuse of fentanyl patches. We believe that our abuse deterrent technology can be broadly applied to various transdermal products and our strategy is to follow the development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system with the development of additional transdermal prescription products for pharmaceuticals that have risks or a history of abuse. We received on January 28, 2022 an Issue Notification from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its United States patent entitled, “Abuse and Misuse Deterrent Transdermal System,” that protects our AVERSA™ transdermal abuse deterrent technology. In addition, we are developing a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products to deliver commercially available drugs or biologics that are typically delivered by injection but with the potential to improve compliance and therapeutic outcomes.

We are proceeding with our development efforts with respect to these products and to performing contract services for a small number of customers. Because of both our financial position and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, our contract service business has also been scaled back. The description of our business in this annual report is based on our ability to raise significant financing or enter into a joint venture agreement with a third party that has the financial ability to fund the joint venture’s operations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain necessary financing or enter into a joint venture agreement on reasonable, if any, terms. If we are not able to continue to obtain financing or enter into a joint venture agreement, we may not be able to continue in business.

Through July 31, 2018, our business was the development of a line of consumer and health products that are delivered through a transdermal or topical patch. Consumer products are products that are sold over the counter and do not require a prescription. Most of our consumer products require FDA approval for sale in the United States, and we have not sought to obtain, and we do not plan to seek to obtain, FDA approval to market these products in the United States at this time. Following our acquisition of Pocono, our focus is primarily now on providing contract manufacturing services and consulting services to 3^rd party brands with no intention at this time to launch our own consumer products.

With our acquisition of 4P Therapeutics on August 1, 2018, our focus changed, and we are seeking to develop and seek FDA approval on a number of transdermal pharmaceutical products under development by 4P Therapeutics. As a result of the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, we have pipeline of potential products.

4P Therapeutics has not generated any revenue from any of its products under development. Rather, prior to our acquisition, 4P Therapeutics generated revenue to provide cash for its operations through contract research and development and related services for a small number of clients in the life sciences field on an as-needed basis. We are, for the near term, continuing this activity, although we do not anticipate that it will generate significant revenues and, since our acquisition, it has generated a negative gross margin. We have no long-term contractual obligations, and either party can terminate at any time.

With the change in our focus, our capital requirements have increased substantially. The process of developing pharmaceutical products and submitting them for FDA approval is both time consuming and expensive, with no assurance of obtaining approval from the FDA to market our product in the United States. We have budgeted $5.0 million for research and development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system, including clinical manufacturing and clinical trials that need to be completed in order to obtain FDA approval. However, the total cost could be substantially in excess of that amount.

On March 25, 2020, we completed a private placement of 46,828 units at a price of $11 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $14 per share. The warrants expire April 30, 2023. We issued a total of 46,828 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 46,828 shares of common stock. We received proceeds of $515,113.

On March 25, 2020, we paid off the convertible notes in the principal amount of $270,000 from the proceeds of the private placement. The total payments, including the prepayment penalty and accrued interest, was $345,656. The payment was made from the proceeds of the private placement. As a result of the payment of the notes, the derivative liability, which was $928,774 at July 31, 2020, was reduced to zero. As a result of a completed private placement, the warrants to purchase 50,000 shares at the lesser of (i) $20.90 or, (ii) if the Company completes its public offering of its common stock, 110% of the initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the public offering, became a warrant to purchase 95,000 warrants at $11 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the warrant. The Company recorded a derivative liability for the warrants in the amount of $906,678 and reclassed the derivative liability to additional paid-in capital as of January 31, 2021.

In March 2020, a minority stockholder who had previously made loans to us in the total amount of $215,00, made an additional loan to us in the amount of $60,000, increasing the total loans from the stockholder to $275,000. On March 27, 2020, we issued 25,000 shares of common stock upon conversion of the notes.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), dated December 7, 2020, with the Company, BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel, purchased 81,396 shares of common stock at a price of $8.60 per share, or $700,000, which provided payment for the RamBam license. The transaction was completed at a closing on February 26, 2021.

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), with Pocono Coated Products (“PCP”), pursuant to which PCP agreed to sell the Company all of the assets associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic and Nutraceutical business (the “Assets”). PCP is the manufacturer of our transdermal products, and we bought that business from them. The purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,000,000 paid in shares of the Company’s common stock at a value of the average price of the previous 90 days at the date of Closing (the “Shares”); (ii) a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $1,500,000, which is due upon the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from issuance, or (b) immediately following a capital raise of no less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000. The note was repaid in full in October 2021. Subsequent to the repayment of the note, the Shares were released from escrow.

On October 5, 2021, the Company, having been approved for the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market effective October 1, 2021, consummated a public offering (the “IPO”) of units (the “Units”), of common stock and warrants that were offered in the IPO on The Nasdaq Capital Market, which included 1,056,000 (each a “Unit”), each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and one warrant (each a “Warrant”) at a price of $6.25 per Unit. Each Warrant is immediately exercisable, will entitle the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 and will expire five (5) years from the date of issuance. The underwriters’ over-allotment option was exercised for 158,400 warrants to purchase shares of common stock bringing to total net proceeds to the Company from the IPO to $5,836,230. The shares of common stock and Warrants are separately transferred immediately upon issuance. As of January 3, 2022, 392,396 Warrants issued in the IPO have been exercised, with net proceeds to the Company of $2,942,970.

On November 1, 2021, The Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Company has reserved 350,000 shares to issue and sell upon the exercise of stock options issued under the Plan. On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8, to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the 350,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. On January 21, 2022, the Board approved options to purchase 163,500 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to executive officers and directors of the Company at a price of $4.85 ($5.34 per share for two of the officers as required by IRS rules).

For the year ended January 31, 2022, we generated revenue of $1,422,154 and our costs of revenue were $917,844, resulting in a gross margin of $504,310. For the year ended January 31, 2021, we generated revenue of $943,702 and our costs of revenue were $627,378, resulting in a gross margin of $316,324. Our revenue for January 31, 2022 was derived from three sources – (1) a continuation of research and development contracts of the type 4P Therapeutics performed prior to our acquisition, which accounted for $242,354, (2) sales of our consumer transdermal product to or South Korean distributor, which accounted for $86,600 which our distributor purchased for its preliminary marketing efforts since the product has not obtained regulatory approval for retail sales in South Korea and (3) sales from our recent acquisition of transdermal patches, which accounted for $1,093,200. Since we do not have the funds for development of our lead product, the 4P Therapeutics fixed costs are allocated to the contract services that we perform for clients. Our cost of revenue for our contract research and development services represents basically our labor cost plus a modest amount of material costs which we passed on to the client. The Company moved from the 4P facilities, and many of the prior costs relating to the facility were not incurred.

For the year ended January 31, 2022, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,022,824, primarily legal, accounting, administrative salaries and non-cash expenses of $1,364,732, compared to $2,912,269 for the year ended January 31, 2021.The increase from 2021 is primarily attributable to non-cash consulting expenses of $1,364,732, and the inclusion of expenses of $668,661 of Active Intelligence in 2022.

During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $2,180,836 due to a write down of Goodwill in connection with its Pocono acquisition. The write down of goodwill is attributable primarily to the effects of the pandemic. The valuation of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying amount of goodwill using the value in use or the going concern premise.

During the year January 31, 2022, the Company commenced research and development expenses on its Aversa product and incurred $144,000 of salary liabilities that were paid with the issuance of common stock and other expenses of $267,303.

During the year ended January 31, 2021, we incurred gain on change in fair value of derivatives of $22,096 in connection with our October 2019 financing in which we raised gross proceeds of $250,000 and net proceeds of approximately $230,000 from the sale of convertible notes and warrants. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of $53,028, consisting primarily of forgiveness of a PPP loan.

We incurred interest expense of $118,421, primarily from the amortization of debt discounts for the Year ended January 31, 2022, as compared to $280,686 for the year ended January 31, 2021.

As a result of the foregoing, we sustained a net loss of $6,372,715, or $(0.94) per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended January 31, 2022, compared with a loss of $2,932,828, or $(0.51) per share (basic and diluted) for the year ended January 31, 2021. The net loss for 2022 includes a deemed dividend of $196,589 from the settlement of a warrant round down.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, we generated revenue of $477,922 and our costs of revenue were $277,436, resulting in a gross margin of $200,486. For the three months ended April 30, 2021, we generated revenue of $433,488 and our costs of revenue were $195,610, resulting in a gross margin of $237,878. Our revenue for April 30, 2022 was derived from sales of $401,990 from our Pocono Pharmaceutical segment and $75,992 from contract services from our 4P Therapeutics segment. The increase in revenue from the Pocono Pharmaceutical segment is primarily due to an increase in demand which has continued in the subsequent quarter. Since we do not have the funds for development of our lead product, the 4P Therapeutics fixed costs are allocated to the contract services that we perform for clients. Our cost of revenue for our contract research and development services represents our labor cost plus a modest amount of material costs which we passed on to the client. The Company moved from the 4P facilities, and many of the prior costs relating to the facility were not incurred.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $768,551 primarily legal, accounting and administrative salaries compared to $551,942 for the three months ended April 30, 2021.The increase from 2021 is primarily attributable to increases in administrative salaries of $148,000 and other overhead costs including professional fees and travel.

During the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company incurred research and development expenses of its Aversa product of $117,814, primarily of salaries and development costs from Kindeva.

We incurred interest expense of $4,110 for the three months ended April 30, 2022, as compared to $40,869 for the three months ended April 30, 2021. Interest expense for 2021 was primarily attributable to the amortization of debt discounts.

As a result of the foregoing, we sustained a net loss of $689,989 or $(0.09) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended April 30, 2022, compared with a loss of $315,957, or $(0.05) per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended April 30, 2021.

As of April 30, 2022, we had $4,010,644 in cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $3,918,855, as compared with cash and cash equivalents of $4,898,868 and working capital of $4,686,112 as of January 31, 2022. The Company received proceeds of approximately $8.5 million from the completion of its public offering, exercise of warrants and the sale of common stock during the year ended January 31, 2022.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, we used cash of $744,257 in our operations. The principal adjustments to our net loss of $689,989 were depreciation and amortization of $77,475, offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities of $146,728.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, we used cash in investing activities of $43,803 primarily for the purchase of equipment.

For the three months ended April 30, 2022, we used cash in financing activities of $93,164 primarily from the purchase of treasury stock of $89,196.

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

Management assesses liquidity and going concern uncertainty in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements to determine whether there is sufficient cash on hand and working capital, including available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued or available to be issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period”, as defined in GAAP. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to management, management will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs and its ability to raise additional capital, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, management makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent it deems probable those implementations can be achieved and management has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period.

As of April 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,010,644 and working capital of $3,918,885. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company incurred an operating loss of $689,989 and used cash flow from operations of $744,257. The Company has generated operating losses since its inception and has relied on sales of securities and issuance of third-party and related party debt to support cash flow from operations. In October 2021, the Company consummated a public offering and received net proceeds of $5,836,230. The Company also received $2,942,970 proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

Management has prepared estimates of operations for fiscal year 2022 and 2023 believes that sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund its operations for one year from the date of the filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, which indicates improved operations and the Company’s ability to continue operations as a going concern. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business has been considered in these assumptions; however, it is too early to know the full impact of COVD-19 or its timing on a return to more normal operations.

Management believes the substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is alleviated by the above assessment.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to, those related to such items as income tax exposures, accruals, depreciable/useful lives, allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which amends the accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to a customer. The Company adopted the guidance under the new revenue standards using the modified retrospective method effective February 1, 2018 and determined no cumulative effect adjusted to retained earnings was necessary upon adoption. Topic 606 requires the Company to recognize revenues when control of the promised goods or services and receipt of payment is probable. The Company recognizes revenue based on the five criteria for revenue recognition established under Topic 606: 1) identify the contract, 2) identify separate performance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations, and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligations are satisfied.

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its allowances by both specific identification of customer accounts where appropriate and the application of historical loss to non-applicable accounts. For the three months ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded no bad debt expense for doubtful accounts related to account receivable.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and reasonable value determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realized value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. The cost of finished goods and work in process is comprised of material costs, direct labor costs and other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). As of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, 100% of the inventory consists of raw materials.

Intangible assets include trademarks, intellectual property and customer base acquired through business combinations. The Company accounts for Other Intangible Assets under the guidance of ASC 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other.” The Company capitalizes certain costs related to patent technology. A substantial component of the purchase price related to the Company’s acquisitions have also been assigned to intellectual property and other intangibles. Under the guidance, other intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Trademarks, intellectual property and customer base are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of ten years.

Goodwill represents the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually on January 31, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceeds their fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of 4P Therapeutics LLC in 2018, the Company recorded Goodwill of $1,719,235. On August 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pocono Coated Products LLC and Active Intelligence LLC, the Company recorded Goodwill of $5,810,640. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,180,836 reducing the Active Intelligence LLC Goodwill to $3,629,813. As of April 30, 2022 and January 31, 2022, Goodwill amounted to $5,349,039.

Management reviews long-lived assets for potential impairment whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If an impairment exists, the resulting write-down would be the difference between the fair market value of the long-lived asset and the related book value.

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock purchase warrants. As of April 30, 2022, and 2021, there were 1,394,032 and 141,830 common stock equivalents outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services, and, since February 1, 2019, non-employees, are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). As of February 1, 2019, pursuant to ASC 2018-07, ASC 718 was applied to stock-based compensation for both employees and non-employees.

Our primary business is the development of a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products. Our development pipeline consists of transdermal products that are based on our proprietary AVERSA^® abuse deterrent transdermal technology that can be incorporated into transdermal patches that contain drugs that are susceptible to abuse and misuse.

Our first product under development is AVERSA Fentanyl, an abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system that combines an existing generic fentanyl patch with our AVERSA technology to reduce the abuse and misuse of fentanyl patches. We believe that AVERSA technology can be broadly applied to various transdermal products, and our plan is to follow the development of our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system with the development of additional transdermal deterrent products for pharmaceuticals that have a risk or history of abuse. Specifically, we have expanded our development pipeline to include AVERSA Buprenorphine and AVERSA Methylphenidate. In addition, we are developing a portfolio of transdermal pharmaceutical products to deliver already approved drugs or biologics that are typically delivered by injection but with the potential to improve compliance and therapeutic outcomes by providing them as transdermal patches.

We have signed a feasibility agreement for with Kindeva Drug Delivery, formerly 3M Drug Delivery, for the development of AVERSA Fentanyl using Kindeva’s FDA approved Fentanyl patch. The feasibility agreement is focused on adapting Kindeva’s commercial transdermal manufacturing process to incorporate AVERSA technology.

The product development program for AVERSA Fentanyl includes performing preclinical and clinical studies to demonstrate the abuse deterrent properties of the product. The program assumes that the fentanyl transdermal system is already approved and the only change to the approved product will be to incorporate the AVERSA technology into the patch design with no change being made to the fentanyl drug matrix or its demonstrated safety or drug release characteristics. Preclinical studies to be performed primarily consist of laboratory-based in vitro manipulation and extraction studies in various extraction media per FDA guidance. Clinical evaluation primarily consists of a Phase 1 Human Abuse Liability (HAL) study to demonstrate the abuse potential of the product per FDA guidance. The regulatory path for FDA approval is planned to be a 505(b)(2) NDA submission to access the safety and efficacy information on file for Duragesic^® fentanyl transdermal system as the reference-listed drug. The product development program for the additional AVERSA pipeline products, AVERSA Buprenorphine and AVERSA Methylphenidate, are similar to that of AVERSA Fentanyl, assuming that the AVERSA technology is incorporated into an already approved transdermal patch.

Through July 31, 2018, we had not generated any revenue from our business, which was the research and development of transdermal consumer patches. Consumer products are products that can be sold over-the-counter and do not require a prescription. Most transdermal patches are considered drugs in the United States and cannot be marketed in the United States without approval from the FDA. We have not taken any steps to seek to obtain FDA approval for any of our consumer products in development, and we have no plans to do so in the near term.

Pursuant to an acquisition agreement dated April 5, 2018 between us and 4P Therapeutics, on August 1, 2018, we acquired all of the equity interest in 4P Therapeutics from Steven Damon, the owner of 4P Therapeutics. The purchase price of $2,250,000, consisting of 62,500 shares of common stock, valued at $1,850,000, and cash of $400,000, and are to pay Mr. Damon a 6% royalty on any revenue we receive or derive from our utilization or sale of the abuse deterrent intellectual property that we acquired as a part of the assets 4P Therapeutics, including partner license milestones and development payments. The royalty is payable pursuant to the acquisition agreement and continues as long as we generate revenue from our utilization or sale of the abuse deterrent intellectual property we acquired as part of the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics. The 62,500 shares were issued to Mr. Damon (41,750 shares) and Dr. Alan Smith (20,750 shares). In connection with the acquisition, Mr. Damon retained any cash and accounts receivable and assumed any liabilities other than those relating to the ongoing business. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, we appointed Mr. Damon to our board of directors in April 2018, when we signed the acquisition agreement, and we agreed to pay Mr. Damon the compensation received by independent board members.

As a result of the acquisition, the focus of our business has changed from the development and marketing outside of the U.S. of consumer transdermal products to the development of 4P Therapeutics’ portfolio of pharmaceutical transdermal products. Our lead product under development is AVERSA^® Fentanyl (abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system) which we plan to develop to deter the abuse and accidental misuse of fentanyl transdermal patches. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid that is marketed as a transdermal patch for chronic pain management. There are currently a number of generic fentanyl patches on the market but none of them have abuse deterrent properties. We believe that our AVERSA^® abuse deterrent technology, containing aversive agents will significantly deter the abuse and accidental misuse of fentanyl from transdermal patches.

With the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, we acquired a research pipeline of other transdermal products, including peptides and proteins such as exenatide for type 2 diabetes and FSH for infertility. These drugs are off patent but are currently only available as injections, and we are evaluating the possibility of developing a transdermal delivery system for these drugs as an alternative to injection but with improved compliance and safety. In addition, we may develop certain generic transdermal products where we think we can make an improvement to existing patches and where we believe we can take significant market share with good profit margins. One example of such a product candidate is the development of a generic scopolamine patch. The prioritization of our portfolio product candidates will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and will take into account technical progress, market potential and commercial interest. We cannot assure you that we will be able to develop and obtain FDA approval for any of these potential products or that we can be successful in marketing any such products. The FDA approval process can take many years to complete successfully, and we will require substantial funding for each product that goes through the process. We cannot assure you that we will obtain FDA marketing approval for any of our products.

In addition to performing research and development for its own products, 4P Therapeutics performs contract research and development services for a small number of clients in the life sciences field to help support its ongoing operations. The work includes conducting early-stage drug and device clinical and preclinical studies and providing clinical-regulatory and formulation/analytical consulting services. Neither we nor current clients have any long-term commitments, and either party can terminate at any time. We do not expect to generate significant revenues from these services.

On August 25, 2020, the Company formed Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc.(“Pocono”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Effective August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Pocono Coated Products (“PCP”), a manufacturer of Topical and transdermal products, pursuant to which PCP agreed to sell the Company certain of the assets and liabilities associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic and Nutraceutical business (the “Business”), including all related equipment, intellectual property and trade secrets, cash balances, receivables, bank accounts and inventory. The net assets were contributed to Pocono. Included in the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests of Active Intelligence LLC (“Active Intelligence”). The purchase price for the assets of the Business is (i) $6,000,000 paid in 608,519 shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the average price for the Company’s common stock for the previous 90 days as of the date of Closing (the “Shares”); (ii) a promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $1,500,000, which has been paid in full as of October 1, 2021.

We are a Nevada corporation, incorporated on January 4, 2016. In January 2016, we acquired Nutriband Ltd, an Irish company which was formed by Gareth Sheridan, our chief executive officer, in 2012, to enter the health and wellness market by marketing transdermal patches. Our corporate headquarters are located at 121 S. Orange Ave. Suite 1500, Orlando, Florida 32801, telephone (407) 377-6695. Our website is www.nutriband.com. Information contained on or available through our website or any other website does not constitute a portion of this annual report.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. The JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues (as adjusted for inflation), have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Under current Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules however, we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we have either (i) a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $250 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) annual revenues of less than $100 million and a public float of less than $700 million.

Our business may be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the response to the pandemic. Factors which may affect our business include, but are not limited to, the following:

We have a pipeline of transdermal pharmaceutical products that are primarily in the early stages of development. Our current focus is on the development of AVERSA Fentanyl for which we have signed a feasibility agreement with Kindeva Drug Delivery, a contract development and manufacturing organization. We plan to follow on from this with development of additional products utilizing the AVERSA abuse deterrent transdermal technology, AVERSA Buprenorphine and AVERSA Methylphenidate.

Our lead product under development is our AVERSA Fentanyl product which is an abuse deterrent fentanyl patch for the treatment of chronic pain. As the United States faces an epidemic of opioid abuse, fentanyl transdermal patches have become an attractive target for recreational drug abusers due to the high potency of fentanyl and its ease of abuse by the oral route. We are looking to utilize our proprietary approach to incorporate aversive agents into the transdermal patch to deter the abuse of fentanyl patches by the oral, buccal and inhaled routes, which represent as much as 70% of all transdermal fentanyl abuse. The technology is based on the incorporation of taste and sensory aversive agents into the patch that have high potency, established safety, and the potential to prevent accidental misuse by children and pets. The aversive agents are coated onto the backing of the transdermal patch in a controlled release formulation that provides immediate and sustained release. This provides several advantages including physical separation of the aversive agents from the drug matrix, availability of aversive agents before and after use as well as making it difficult to separate the aversive agents from the drug by extraction. The aversive agents are not contained in the drug matrix and are not delivered to the skin during patch wear. In addition to the fentanyl patch, this technology has broad applicability to any therapeutic patch where deterring abuse as well as accidental misuse by children and pets are valuable attributes.

We believe that our abuse deterrent technology can be broadly applied to various transdermal products and our strategy is to follow the development of our AVERSA Fentanyl with the development of additional products for pharmaceuticals that have a risk or history of abuse. For example, we believe that our technology can be utilized in other transdermal products to deter the abuse of other drugs such as buprenorphine, an opioid used to treat acute pain and chronic pain, and methylphenidate, a central nervous system stimulant. Buprenorphine is an opioid used to treat opioid addiction, acute pain and chronic pain. It can be used under the tongue, by injection, as a skin patch, or as an implant. For opioid addiction, it is typically only started when withdrawal symptoms have begun and for the first two days of treatment under direct observation of a health care provider. For longer term treatment of addiction, a combination formulation of buprenorphine/naloxone is recommended to prevent misuse by injection. Methylphenidate, sold under various trade names, such as Ritalin in oral form, and in transdermal patch form known as Daytrana, is a central nervous system stimulant that is used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and narcolepsy. We plan to develop transdermal delivery systems for buprenorphine and methylphenidate after we make significant progress on our abuse deterrent fentanyl transdermal system.

Our research pipeline consists primarily of drug compounds which have been previously approved by the FDA and are now off-patent. In some cases, we are developing a non-injectable version of the drug utilizing our transdermal technology which represents a new route of administration. In most cases, we plan to utilize the 505(b) (2) NDA regulatory pathway provided by the FDA which allows us to reference the safety information on file at FDA for the approved drug or to reference the published literature instead of having to generate new safety information that would typically be required for new chemical entities. However, we cannot assure you that the FDA will concur with our approach or that we will be able to receive FDA approval to market any of products that we develop.

We are also exploring product applications for our transdermal technology to deliver proteins and peptides such as exenatide for type 2 diabetes and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) for infertility. Presently, these products are only available by injection or oral routes. We believe that transdermal delivery has the potential to improve compliance, which can lead to improved therapeutic outcomes associated with these treatments.

Exenatide (exendin-4) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist which is approved to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Exenatide is currently approved as a twice-daily subcutaneous injection or as a once-weekly injection. However, many patients have a strong aversion to needles, resist initiation of injections even when oral agents are failing to control their diabetes and struggle with compliance after starting therapy. We have performed pre-clinical work on the development of a novel transdermal patch for administration of exenatide to match the therapeutic plasma levels achieved by subcutaneous injections of exenatide. However, we need substantial funds before we can continue these efforts. In addition to being needle-free, painless and easy-to-use, our proposed exenatide transdermal system is being designed to incorporate compliance tracking to help providers improve patient outcomes. We believe that the development of an exenatide patch matching the profile of exenatide injections will follow the 505(b)(2) NDA regulatory pathway, thereby limiting the extent of safety and efficacy trials required for FDA approval, although we cannot assure you that the FDA will agree. Transdermal exenatide is currently in the preclinical phase of development.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a gonadotropin, a glycoprotein polypeptide hormone that is synthesized and secreted by the gonadotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is indicated for the treatment of infertility in women and is currently only approved and marketed as a subcutaneous injection. FSH is mainly used for ovarian hyperstimulation as part of an in vitro fertilization (IVF) regimen. There are several purified and recombinant FSH injections currently on the market. We are developing a novel transdermal patch to match the pharmacokinetic profile of FSH subcutaneous injection but without the need for painful injections. Transdermal FSH is intended to offer a painless, easy to use one-step application to improve patient compliance with FSH therapy. Transdermal FSH will be offered at multiple strengths to match the typical doses prescribed to treat infertility. We plan to conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial to demonstrate that the transdermal patch can match the pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous injection. Then we plan to conduct an irritation and sensitization study to demonstrate the skin safety of the product and a pivotal clinical efficacy trial to demonstrate that transdermal FSH is not inferior to subcutaneous injection. We intend to seek to utilize the 505(b)(2) NDA regulatory pathway to register the product with the FDA which allows us to reference the know safety of FSH on file at FDA for the reference listed drug and the safety information that has been published in the literature. We have not yet communicated with the FDA on our proposed development plan or registration plan and we cannot assure you that the FDA will agree to our use of the 505(b)(2) pathway. Transdermal FSH is currently in the preclinical phase of development.

In addition, we may seek to develop certain generic transdermal products where we think we can efficiently make an improvement to existing patches and potentially take significant market share with good profit margins.

The prioritization of our portfolio of product candidates will be reviewed on an ongoing basis and will take into account technical progress, market potential, available funding and commercial interest. Our ability to take any meaningful steps to the development of any of these products is determined by our ability to provide sufficient funding for such activities. As stated above, without additional financing or a joint venture agreement we will not be able to take any steps to the development of any of these products.

We currently have no branded OTC or Consumer products nor do we plan to launch any OTC or Consumer products in the near term as our focus is primarily on our pharmaceutical development pipeline and continuing the contract services offered by both 4P Therapeutics and Pocono Pharma.

Manufacturing of our pharmaceutical transdermal products in development will be performed in compliance with FDA current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and all applicable local regulations by contract manufacturers. All manufacturing processes and facilities will be subject to review by the FDA during development, prior to approval and during subsequent routine FDA inspections. We plan to continue to rely on contract manufacturers and, potentially, collaboration partners to manufacture commercial quantities of our products, if and when approved for marketing by the FDA.

As of January 31, 2022, the Company has 13 full time employees, of which five are officers of the Company. None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our employee relations to be good.

The pharmaceutical business is subject to extensive government regulation. In the United States, we must comply with the rules and regulations of the FDA. In other countries we must comply with the laws and regulations of each country to legally market and sell our products. Obtaining FDA approval does not mean that the product will be approved in other countries. Each country may require that additional clinical and nonclinical studies be conducted prior to approval.

The process required by the FDA to receive approval prior to marketing and distributing a drug in the United States generally involves a preclinical phase followed by three phases of clinical trials. The definition of drug is broadly defined and includes the pharmaceutical products we have in development. Even though the drug used in each of our proposed products is currently approved by the FDA in other dosage forms, we will still need to conduct a development program that will include preclinical and clinical trials before we receive FDA marketing approval. The FDA also has a number of abbreviated approval pathways which, if we are eligible, could shorten the time for approval. For example, the regulatory path for the AVERSA products in development is intended follow a 505(b)(2) NDA regulatory pathway which reduce the amount of clinical work that needs to be performed to a single trial to evaluate the abuse potential of the product as the safety and efficacy of the drug has already been established. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to use any abbreviated approval pathway, in which event we will need to comply with the full regulatory pathway as described below.

The full (although not typical for the AVERSA related products) FDA regulatory pathway consists of the following phases of development.

Before approving an NDA, the FDA may inspect the facilities where the product is being manufactured or facilities that are significantly involved in the product development and distribution process and will not approve the product unless compliance with current good manufacturing practices is satisfactory. The FDA may deny approval of an NDA if applicable statutory or regulatory criteria are not satisfied, or may require additional testing or information, which can delay the approval process. In pursuing FDA approval there may be various delays and it is possible that approval may never be granted. In addition, new government requirements may be established that could delay or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates under development.

If a product is approved, the FDA may impose limitations on the indications for use for which the product may be marketed, may require that warning statements be included in the product labeling, may require that additional studies or trials be conducted following approval as a condition of the approval, may impose restrictions and conditions on product distribution, prescribing or dispensing in the form of a risk management plan, or impose other limitations.

Once a product receives FDA approval, marketing the product for other indicated uses or making certain manufacturing or other changes related to the product will require FDA review and approval of a supplemental NDA or a new NDA, which may require additional clinical safety and efficacy data and may require additional review fees. In addition, further post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of a product may be required. Also, product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if safety or manufacturing problems occur following initial marketing.

With respect to the labeling for our abuse deterrent transdermal fentanyl system or any other opioid transdermal patch we develop, it is likely that we will need to disclose the risks of improper use or abuse using language required by the FDA.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to take advantage of any of the available abbreviated approval pathways for any of our proposed products.

Any drug products for which we receive FDA approval will be subject to continuing regulation by the FDA. Certain requirements include, among other things, record-keeping requirements, reporting of adverse events with the product, providing the FDA with updated safety and efficacy information on an annual basis or more frequently for specific events, product sampling and distribution requirements, complying with certain electronic records and signature requirements and complying with FDA promotion and advertising requirements. These promotion and advertising requirements include, among others, standards for direct-to-consumer advertising, prohibitions against promoting drugs for uses or patient populations that are not described in the drug’s approved labeling, known as “off-label use,” and other promotional activities, such as those considered to be false or misleading. Failure to comply with FDA regulations can have negative consequences, including the immediate discontinuation of noncomplying materials, adverse publicity, enforcement letters from the FDA, mandated corrective advertising or communications with doctors, and civil or criminal penalties. Such enforcement may also lead to scrutiny and enforcement by other government and regulatory bodies.

Although physicians may prescribe legally available drugs for off-label uses, manufacturers may not encourage, market or promote such off-label uses. As a result, “off-label promotion” has formed the basis for litigation under the Federal False Claims Act, violations of which are subject to significant civil fines and penalties. In addition, manufacturers of prescription products are required to disclose annually to the Center for Medicaid and Medicare any payments made to physicians and teaching hospitals in the U.S. under the federal Physician Payment Sunshine Act. Reportable payments may be direct or indirect, in cash or kind, for any reason, and are required to be disclosed even if the payments are not related to the approved product. Failure to fully disclose or not in time reporting could lead to penalties up to $1.15 million per year.

The manufacturing of any of our products will be required to comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) regulations. These regulations require, among other things, quality control and quality assurance, as well as the corresponding maintenance of comprehensive records and documentation. Drug manufacturers and other entities involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved drugs are also required to register with the FDA their establishments and list any products they make and to comply with related requirements in certain states. These entities are further subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with current good manufacturing practices and other laws. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain cGMP compliance.

Discovery of problems with a product after approval may result in serious and extensive restrictions on a product, manufacturer or holder of an approved NDA, as well as lead to potential market disruptions. These restrictions may include recalls, suspension of a product until the FDA is assured that quality standards can be met, and continuing oversight of manufacturing by the FDA under a “consent decree,” which frequently includes the imposition of costs and continuing inspections over a period of many years, as well as possible withdrawal of the product from the market. In addition, changes to the manufacturing process generally require prior FDA approval before being implemented. Other types of changes to the approved product, such as adding new indications and additional labeling claims, are also subject to further FDA review and approval.

The FDA also may require post-marketing testing, or Phase IV testing, as well as risk minimization action plans and surveillance to monitor the effects of an approved product or place conditions on an approval that could otherwise restrict the distribution or use of our products.

We may be subject to government regulations that are applicable to businesses generally, including those relating to workers’ health and safety, environmental and waste disposal, wage and hour and labor practices, including sexual harassment laws and regulations, and anti-discrimination laws and regulations.

In addition, we must comply with the laws and regulations governing the research and manufacture of products containing controlled substances such as fentanyl and other opioids. We or our contract manufacturer must be licensed by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the state(s) in which we conduct research and development activities.

If we market our products in any countries other than the United States, we would be subject to the laws of those countries. To obtain market access for our products in other countries we must comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements of such countries regarding safety and efficacy and governing, among other things, clinical trials and commercial sales, pricing and distribution of our products.

The European medicines regulatory system is based on a network of around 50 regulatory authorities from the 31 countries in the European Economic Area, the European Commission and the European Medicines Agency. All medicines must be authorized before they can be placed on the market in the European Union. The European system offers different routes for authorization. A centralized procedure allows the marketing of a medicine on the basis of a single European Union assessment and marketing authorization which is valid throughout the European Union. However, a majority of medicines authorized in the European Union do not fall within the scope of the centralized procedure, and we do not know whether our proposed products will fall within the centralized authorization. We also do not know how the withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union will affect the procedure for approval of medicines in the United Kingdom. If we are not able to use the centralized procedure, we would need to use one of the following procedures. One method is the decentralized procedure where we would apply for the simultaneous authorization in more than one European Union member. The second method is the mutual-recognition procedure where we would have a medicine authorized in one European Union country apply for authorization to be recognized in other European Union countries. In either case, we would be required to complete clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the medicine and show and that the medicine is manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices based upon European Union standards.

In countries other than the United States and the European Union, we would be required to comply with the applicable laws of those countries, which may require us to perform additional clinical testing.

Failure to obtain regulatory approval in any country would prevent our product candidates from being marketed in those countries. In order to market and sell our products in jurisdictions other than the United States and the European Union, we must obtain separate marketing approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The regulatory approval process outside the United States and the European Union generally includes all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA and European Union approval but can involve additional testing.

In addition, in many countries worldwide, it is required that the product be approved for reimbursement before the product can be approved for sale in that country. We may not obtain approvals from regulatory authorities outside the United States on a timely basis, if at all. Even if we were to receive approval in the United States or the European Union, approval by the FDA or the European Medicines Agency does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions. Similarly, approval by one regulatory authority outside the United States would not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions. We may not be able to file for marketing approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our products in any market. If we are unable to obtain approval of our product candidates by regulatory authorities in other foreign jurisdictions, the commercial prospects of those product candidates may be significantly diminished and our business prospects could decline.

The AVERSA abuse deterrent technology utilized in our AVERSA product pipeline is covered by an international intellectual property portfolio with patents issued in 44 countries including the United States, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia, Mexico, and Australia and with patents pending in Canada and China. These patents provide patent coverage to 2035. We continue to build on our proprietary positions in the United States and internationally for our product candidates AVERSA Fentanyl, AVERSA buprenorphine and AVERSA methylphenidate as well as other products and technology that we may have in development. Our policy is to pursue, maintain and defend patent rights developed internally or acquired externally and to protect the technology, inventions and improvements that are commercially important to the development of our business. We cannot be sure that patents will be granted with respect to any of our pending patent applications or with respect to any patent applications filed by us in the future, nor can we be sure that any of our existing patents or any patents granted to us in the future will be commercially useful in protecting our technology. We also rely on trade secrets to protect our commercial products and product candidates. Our commercial success also depends in part on our non-infringement of the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. For a more comprehensive discussion of the risks related to our intellectual property, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property” appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Further, we plan to seek trademark protection in the United States and internationally where available and when appropriate. We have registered the name Nutriband in the United States. We have received a notice of allowance for the AVERSA trademark for our abuse deterrent technology in the United States.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change as new products are developed and marketed. Potential competitors include large pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical and generic drug companies, and medical technology companies. We believe the key competitive factors that will affect the development and commercial success of our products are product performance including safety and efficacy, level of patient compliance, healthcare professional acceptance, and the extent of insurance reimbursement of our products.

As our development pipeline includes products that contain opioids (AVERSA Fentanyl and AVERSA Buprenorphine), we continually monitor the market for opioid products, particularly in the United States. Pharmaceutical companies engaged in the distribution and sale of opioids, in particular for the treatment of chronic pain, are promoting responsible opioid use. Our opioid products potentially offer a unique proposition to meet the unmet needs of patients by deterring the abuse and misuse of opioids while making opioids accessible to those patients who need them. If approved, our AVERSA pipeline products will compete with the currently marketed products that do not contain abuse deterrent features as well as other products that may employ different abuse deterrent technology. We may also have to compete with products that do not contain opioids or other drugs that are susceptible to abuse. We are not aware of any abuse deterrent transdermal products that are in development or being marketed at this time. If we obtain regulatory approval to market our products, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in the marketplace.

We do not own any real property. We lease under a one year lease an office for $ 2,500 per month at 121 South Orange Street, Orlando, Florida. With the office lease, we have access to board rooms, kitchen facilities and administrative support services. We lease manufacturing space in Cherryville, North Carolina, for $3,000 per month under a three-year lease entered into on February 1, 2022, with a renewal option.

On August 10, 2018, we, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer received a Wells notice from the enforcement division staff of the Miami Regional Office of the SEC in connection with an investigation into the accuracy of certain statements in our Form 10 registration statement filed June 2, 2016, as amended, and our Form 10-K annual report filed May 8, 2017. The staff’s inquiry was focused on our disclosure language in those filings relating to the FDA requirements for our consumer transdermal patch products in that our filings did not accurately reflect the FDA’s jurisdiction over our consumer products and did not disclose that we could not legally market these products in the United States. On September 7, 2018, we and the officers filed a Wells submission in response. After engaging in settlement discussions with the staff about the matters under investigation, we and the officers submitted an offer of settlement to resolve the investigation without admitting or denying any violations of the federal securities laws.

On December 26, 2018, the SEC announced that it has accepted the settlement offer and instituted settled administrative cease-and-desist proceedings against us and the named officers. The SEC’s administrative order, dated December 26, 2018, finds that we and the officers consented – without admitting or denying any findings by the SEC– to cease-and-desist orders against them for violations by us of Sections 12(g) and 13(a) of the Exchange Act 1934 and Rules 12b-20 and 13a-1 thereunder, which require issuers to file accurate registration statements and annual reports with the SEC; violations by the officers for causing our violations of the above issuer reporting provisions; and violations by the officers of Rule 13a-14 of the Exchange Act, which requires each principal executive and principal financial officer of issuers to attest that annual reports filed with the SEC do not contain any untrue statements of material fact. In addition to consenting to the cease-and-desist orders, the officers have each agreed to pay a $25,000 civil penalty to resolve the investigation. The administrative order does not impose a civil penalty or any other monetary relief against us.

On July 27, 2018, we commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida, against Advanced Health Brands, Inc., Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Laura Fillman and John Baker, together with a Motion for Temporary Injunction Without Notice and a Motion for Prejudgment Writ of Replevin arising from our decision to seek to rescind for misrepresentation the agreement by which we acquired advanced Health Brands, Inc. for 1,250,000 shares of common stock valued at $2,500,000 and seek return of the shares. On August 2, 2018, the court entered a Temporary Injunction Without Notice and an Order to Show Cause against the defendants. Defendants Kalmar, Murphy, Polly-Murphy, and Baker filed a Motion to Dismiss our Verified Complaint, Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction Without Notice and Response to Order to Show Cause, and Motion to Compel Arbitration. On January 4, 2019, the court dismissed our complaint with prejudice, and directed the defendants to assign to us within 30 days, the six patents never duly transferred to us. On February 1, 2019, we appealed the court’s order. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with one of the defendants, that defendant returned the 50,000 shares which had been issued to her, and the shares were cancelled as of January 31, 2019. On June 7, 2019, the individual defendants (other than the defendant whom we have a settlement agreement), filed a motion for sanctions and civil contempt against us, which generally claimed that we failed to comply with the Court’s January 4, 2019 order by refusing to issue the Ruling 144 letters that would allow the defendants to transfer their shares of common stock. On October 29, 2019, the Court denied the defendants motion. On March 20, 2020, the Florida district court of appeal reversed the lower court ruling in the Florida state court action that dismissed our complaint with prejudice and gave us leave to file an amended complaint.

On August 22, 2018, four of the defendants in the Florida action described in the previous paragraph filed a complaint against us in the Franklin County, Ohio Court of Common Pleas seeking a declaratory judgment permitting them to sell the shares of common stock they received pursuant to the acquisition agreement. The parties have agreed to a stay pending the outcome of the Florida litigation.

On April 29, 2019, we filed a securities fraud action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Advanced Health Brands and TD Therapeutic, Inc. In the complaint we allege that in 2017, the defendants fraudulently and deceitfully obtained 1,250,000 shares of common stock by orchestrating a months-long scheme to defraud us. We are seeking the return of the 1,200,000 shares of common stock and monetary damages resulting from the defendants’ fraudulent conduct. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss on August 23, 2019, and we filed our response on September 13, 2019. On July 20, 2020, the Court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and the parties have recently commenced the discovery phase of the litigation. The Court has scheduled a trial on June 30 and July 1, 2022.

Gareth Sheridan serves as Chief Executive Officer and Serguei Melnik is serving as our President, and following the Annual Meeting, it is expected that Serguei Melnik will commence serving as our Chairman. Our Chairman leads the Board of Directors in its discussions and has such other duties as are prescribed by the Board. As Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sheridan is responsible for implementing the Company’s strategic and operating objectives and day-to-day decision-making related to such implementation.

The Board of Directors currently has three standing committees (audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance) that are chaired and composed entirely of directors who are independent under Nasdaq and SEC rules. Given the role and scope of authority of these committees, and that a majority of the Board of Directors is composed of independent directors, the Board of Directors believes that its leadership structure is appropriate. We select directors as members of these committees with the expectation that they will be free of relationships that might interfere with the exercise of independent judgement.

Our Board of Directors is our Company’s ultimate decision-making body, except with respect to those matters reserved to the stockholders. Our Board of Directors selects our senior management team, which is charged with the conduct of our business. Our Board of Directors acts as an advisor and counselor to senior management and oversees its performance. The position of the Chairman of our Board of Directors is served by one individual. We have determined that the leadership structure of our Board of Directors is appropriate, especially given the early stage of our development and the size of our Company.

The Board of Directors oversees our exposure to risk through its interaction with management concerning matters related to financial, operational, regulatory, legal and strategic risks. Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board of Directors encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. The number of directors is determined by our board of directors, subject to the terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Our board of directors currently consists of nine members, five of which are independent directors.

The board of directors has created three committees - the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the committees has a charter which meets the Nasdaq Stock Market requirements and is composed of three independent directors.

The audit committee is comprised of Mr. Hamilton, as chairman, Mr. Bujoreanu and Ms. Irina Gram. We believe that Mark Hamilton qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The audit committee oversees, reviews, acts on and reports on various auditing and accounting matters to the board, including: the selection of our independent accountants, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent accountants, the performance of our independent accountants and our accounting practices, all as set forth in our audit committee charter.

The compensation committee is comprised of Dr. Mancas, Ms. Irina Gram and Mr. Bujoreanu, and is chaired by Ms. Gram. The compensation committee oversees the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers and reviews our overall compensation policies for employees generally as set forth in the audit committee charter. If so authorized by the board, the compensation committee may also serve as the granting and administrative committee under any option or other equity-based compensation plans which we may adopt. The compensation committee will not delegate its authority to fix compensation; however, as to officers who report to the chief executive officer, the compensation committee will consult with the chief executive officer, who may make recommendations to the compensation committee. Any recommendations by the chief executive officer are accompanied by an analysis of the basis for the recommendations. The committee will also discuss with the chief executive officer and other responsible officers the compensation policies for employees who are not officers. The compensation committee has the responsibilities and authority relating to the retention, compensation, oversight and funding of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other compensation advisers. The compensation committee members will consider the independence of such advisors before selecting or receiving advice from such advisors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee, which is comprised of Mr. Hamilton, Dr. Mancas and Mr. Bujoreanu, and chaired by Mr. Bujoreanu, will identify, evaluate and recommend qualified nominees to serve on our board; develop and oversee our internal corporate governance processes, and maintain a management succession plan.

Four of our directors, Radu Bujoreanu, Mark Hamilton, Dr. Mancas and Irina Gram are independent directors based on the NASDAQ definition of independent director.

None of our executive officers serve on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has an executive officer who serves on our board or compensation committee. No member of our board is an executive officer of a company in which one of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of the our common stock and other equity securities, on Form 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Melnik filed late Form 5s for the year ended January 31, 2020. Mr. Goodman, Dr. Smith, Mr. Ryan, Dr. Patrick, Dr. Dillaha, Mr. Bujoreanu, Mr. Hamilton, Dr. Mancas and Ms. Irina Gram have not filed their Form 3 reports.

Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics applicable to our employees, directors and officers, in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the NASDAQ regulations. Any waiver of this code may be made only by our board of directors and will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable federal securities laws and the NASDAQ corporate governance rules. The Code of Ethics is available on our website at HTTPS://Nutriband.com/ethics.

Certain conflicts of interest exist and may continue to exist between the Company and its officers and directors due to the fact that each has other business interests to which they devote their primary attention. Each officer and director may continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time should be devoted to the business of the Company.

Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its management, and conflicts may develop in the future. The Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current or potential conflicts of interest between the Company, its officers and directors or affiliated entities. There can be no assurance that management will resolve all conflicts of interest in favor of the Company, and conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through the exercise by management their best judgment as may be consistent with their fiduciary duties. Management will try to resolve conflicts to the best advantage of all concerned.

On January 21, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved Employment Agreements with Gareth Sheridan, our Chief Executive Officer, Serguei Melnik, our President and Gerald Goodman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

Each of the three Employment Agreements is effective February 1, 2022, for an initial term of three years, and the term is automatically extended for additional one-year periods if neither party gives notice of termination at least 90 days prior to the end of the initial term or any current additional one-year term.

The Employment Agreements with Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Melnik each provide for a base salary of $250,000 per year, and the Employment Agreement with Mr. Goodman provides for a base salary of $210,000.

The Employment Agreements provide for incentive payments as established by the Board of Directors, and the Employment Agreements with Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Melnik provide for a performance bonus as follows:

Each of the Employment Agreements contains similar provisions for discharge for “cause”, including breach of the Employment Agreement or specified detrimental conduct by the employee, in which cases accrued compensation would payable as provided in the Employment Agreements. The Agreements also provide for termination by the executives for “good reason”, comprising events such as breach of the Agreement by the Company, assignment of duties inconsistent with the Executive’s position, , or in the event of a change in control of the Company. In the event of a termination by the Company without cause, or by the executive for “good reason”, the Company is required to pay to the Executive in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination the aggregate of the following amounts:

In addition, all stock options and warrants outstanding as of the date of termination and held by the executive shall vest in full and become immediately exercisable for the remainder of their full term; all restricted stock shall no longer be restricted to the extent permitted by law, and the Company will use its best efforts, at its sole cost to register such restricted stock as expeditiously as possible.

The Employment Agreements of Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Melnik provide that, to the extent any payment under the Employment Agreement to the executive is subject to the excise tax imposed by section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the executive is entitled to a gross-up payment from the Company to reimburse the executive for additional federal, state and local taxes imposed on executive by reason of the excise tax and the Company’s payment of the initial taxes on such amount. The Company is also required to bear the costs and expenses of any proceeding with any taxing authority in connection with the imposition of any such excise tax.

The table below sets forth the amounts of compensation paid to directors of the Company in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021.

We currently have no plans that provide for payments or other benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement of our officers.

Any bonuses granted in the future will relate to meeting certain performance criteria that are directly related to areas within the named executive’s responsibilities with the Company. As we continue to grow, more defined bonus programs may be established to attract and retain our employees at all levels.

There are no agreements or arrangements by which any directors or nominees are to receive compensation or other payments from third parties in return for serving on the Board of Directors.

We currently have no plans that provide for payments or other benefits at, following, or in connection with retirement of our officers.

The following table provides information concerning the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common Stock by each director and nominee for director, certain executive officers, and by all directors and officers of the Company as a group as of the Record Date. In addition, the table provides information concerning the current beneficial owners, if any, known to the Company to hold more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding common Stock of the Company.

The amounts and percentage of stock beneficially owned are reported based on regulations of the securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after December 15, 2021. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities in which he has no economic interest. The percentage of common stock beneficially owned is based on 7,843,671 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 27, 2022.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to equal voting rights, consisting of one vote per share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.

The presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, each outstanding share of the common stock is entitled to share equally in our assets.

Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Warrants included in the Units offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the warrant agent agreement between us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as warrant agent.

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective or available and an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is not available for the issuance of such shares, the holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99%, provided that any increase in such percentage shall not be effective until 61 days following notice from the holder to us.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

Sections 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes contains voting limitations on certain acquisitions of control shares. Sections 78.411 through 78.444 contain restrictions of combinations with interested stockholders. The Nevada law defines an interested stockholder as a beneficial owner (directly or indirectly) of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation. In addition, combinations with an interested stockholder remain prohibited for three years after the person became an interested stockholder unless (i) the transaction is approved by the board of directors or the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares not beneficially owned by the interested party, or (ii) the interested stockholder satisfies certain fair value requirements.

Nevada law provides that subject to certain very limited statutory exceptions, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer, unless it is proven that the act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and such breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The statutory standard of liability established by NRS Section 78.138 controls even if there is a provision in the corporation’s articles of incorporation unless a provision in the corporation’s articles of incorporation provides for greater individual liability.

Nevada law permits broad provisions for indemnification of officers and directors.

Our bylaws provide that each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved (including, without limitation, as a witness) in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether formal or informal, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director of or who is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of this or another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan (a “covered person”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a covered person shall be indemnified and held harmless by us to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as then in effect, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, costs, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who ceased to be a covered person and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

However, no indemnification shall be provided hereunder to any covered person to the extent that such indemnification would be prohibited by Nevada state law or other applicable law as then in effect, nor, with respect to proceedings seeking to enforce rights to indemnification, shall we indemnify any covered person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person except where such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by our board of directors, nor shall we indemnify any covered person who shall be adjudged in any action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification is sought, to be liable for any negligence or intentional misconduct in the performance of a duty.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

The transfer agent for the common stock and warrant agent for the warrants is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, 6201 15^th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11219, telephone (800) 937-5449.

Any shares of our common stock held by an “affiliate” of ours may not be resold publicly except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or under an exemption under Rule 144 or otherwise. Rule 144 permits our common stock that has been acquired by a person who is an affiliate of ours, or has been an affiliate of ours within the three months of the date of sale, to be sold into the market in an amount that does not exceed, during any three-month period, the greater of:

Such sales are also subject to specific manner of sale provisions, a six-month holding period requirement, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Approximately 4,926,447 shares of our common stock are eligible for sale under Rule 144. This number does not include the 1,200,000 shares held by the former stockholders of Advanced Health Brands that are subject to lock-up arrangements and which are the subject of litigation described under “Business — Legal Proceedings.”

Rule 144 also provides that a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has for at least six months beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our common stock subject only to the availability of current public information regarding us. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned for at least one year shares of our common stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our common stock under Rule 144 without regard to the current public information requirements of Rule 144.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nutriband Inc. and Subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2022 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended January 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our 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.

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the consolidated 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 a critical audit matter 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 a separate audit opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

As described in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company performs impairment testing for its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair value. Due to challenging industry and economic conditions, the Company tested its long-lived assets during the year ended January 31, 2022.

We identified the evaluation of the impairment analysis for long-lived assets as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the related cash flow analysis. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

As described in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level, or more frequently, if events or circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Reporting units are tested for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recorded based on the difference between the fair value and carrying amount, not to exceed the associated carrying amount of goodwill. The Company’s annual impairment test occurred on January 31, 2022.

We identified the evaluation of the impairment analysis for goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management used in the discounted cash flow analysis performed by management to determine fair value of the reporting unit. Performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of these estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort.

Nutriband Inc. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation, incorporated on January 4, 2016. In January 2016, the Company acquired Nutriband Ltd, an Irish company which was formed by the Company’s chief executive officer in 2012 to enter the health and wellness market by marketing transdermal patches. References to the Company relate to the Company and its subsidiaries unless the context indicates otherwise.

On August 1, 2018, the Company acquired 4P Therapeutics LLC (“4P Therapeutics”) for $2,250,000, consisting of 250,000 shares of common stock, valued at $1,850,000, and $400,000, and a royalty of 6% on all revenue generated by the Company from the abuse deterrent intellectual property that had been developed by 4P Therapeutics payable to the former owner of 4P Therapeutics. The former owner of 4P Therapeutics has been a director of the Company since April 2018, when the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 4P Therapeutics. The former owner resigned as a director in January 2022.

4P Therapeutics is engaged in the development of a series of transdermal pharmaceutical products, that are in the preclinical stage of development. Prior to the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, the Company’s business was the development and marketing of a range of transdermal consumer patches. Most of these products are considered drugs in the United States and cannot be marketed in the United States without approval by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The Company entered a feasibility agreement as an initial step to seek FDA approval of its consumer transdermal products and its consumer products which are not being marketed in the United States.

With the acquisition of 4P Therapeutics, 4P Therapeutics’ drug development business became the Company’s principal business. The Company’s approach is to use generic drugs that are off patent and incorporate them into the Company’s transdermal drug delivery system. Although these medications have received FDA approval in oral or injectable form, the Company needs to conduct a transdermal product development program which will include the preclinical and clinical trials that are necessary to receive FDA approval before we can market any of our pharmaceutical products.

On August 25, 2020, the Company formed Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Pocono Pharmaceuticals”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On August 31, 2020, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities associated with the Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic, and Nutraceutical business of Pocono Coated Products LLC (“PCP”). The net assets were contributed to Pocono Pharmaceuticals. Included in the transaction the Company also acquired 100% of the membership interests of Active Intelligence LLC (“Active Intelligence”). See Note 3 for further details of the acquisition.

Pocono Pharmaceuticals is a coated products manufacturing entity organized to take advantage of unique process capabilities and experience. Pocono helps their customer with product design and development along with manufacturing to bring new products to market with minimal capital investment. Pocono Pharmaceutical’s competitive edge is a low-cost manufacturing base: a result of its unique processes and state of the art material technology. Active Intelligence manufactures activated kinesiology tape. The tape has transdermal and topical properties. This tape is used as the same as traditional kinesiology tape.

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread world-wide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities mediating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining people who may have been exposed to the virus. The effect of these orders, government imposed quarantines and measures the Company would take, such as work-at-home policies, may negatively impact productivity, disrupt our business and could delay our clinical programs and timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and disruptions in our operations could negatively impact our business, operating results and financial condition. Fur ther, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders, or the perception that such orders, shutdowns, or other restrictions on the conduct of business could occur, related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases could impact personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities in the United States and other countries, or the availability or cost of materials, which could disr upt our supply chain.

As of January 31, 2022, the Company believes the substantial doubt about its status as a going concern has been resolved. The going concern conditions that caused substantial doubt no longer exist as the Company has positive cash flow during the last year and as of January 31, 2022, has positive working capital. In October 2021, the Company consummated a public offering and received net proceeds of $5,836,230. The Company also received $2,942,970 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants. Management retired most of its debt and other current obligations. Management has implemented other plans to alleviate the substantial doubt. These plans include a substantial increase in projected sales commitments. These factors did not exist in prior years during its start-up operations. The Company’s recent history of losses has continued but future positive cash flow projections due to its management’s plans which includes its acquisition in the latter part of 2020 will enable the Company to alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans have been currently implemented. The plans enable the Company to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date when the financial statements are issued.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The operations of 4P Therapeutics are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition of August 1, 2018 , and the operations of Pocono and Active Intelligence are included in the Company’s financial statements from the date of acquisition of September 1, 2020. The wholly owned subsidiaries are as follows:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including, but not limited to, those related to such items as income tax exposures, accruals, depreciable/useful lives, allowance for doubtful accounts and valuation allowances. The Company bases i ts estimates on historical experience and on other various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not read ily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a description of the Company’s revenue types, which include professional services and sale of goods:

A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services that t are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.

Deferred revenue is a liability related to a revenue producing activity for which revenue has not been recognized. The Company records deferred revenue when it receives consideration from a contract before achieving certain criteria that must be met for revenue to be recognized in conformity with GAAP.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in the new revenue standard. The contract transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For the Company’s different revenue service types, the performance obligation is satisfied at different times. The Company’s performance obligations include providing products and professional services in the area of research. The Company recognizes product revenue performance obligations in most cases when the product has shipped to the customer. When we perform professional service work, we recognize revenue when we have the right to invoice the customer for the work completed, which typically occurs over time on a monthly basis for the work performed during that month.

All revenue recognized in the income statement is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

The Company disaggregates its revenue from contracts with customers by type and by geographical location. See the tables:

Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest bearing. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company determines its allowances by both specific identification of customer accounts where appropriate and the application of historical loss to non-applicable accounts. For the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded no bad debt expense for doubtful accounts related to account receivable.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and reasonable value determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realized value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. The cost of finished goods and work in process is comprised of material costs, direct labor costs and other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, 100% of the inventory consists of raw materials.

Property and equipment represent an important component of the Company’s assets. The Company depreciates its plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets. Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost. Expenditures for minor repairs, maintenance and replacement parts which do not increase the useful lives of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. All major additions and improvements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The lives over which the fixed assets are depreciated range from 3 to 20 years as follows:

Goodwill represents the difference between the total purchase price and the fair value of assets (tangible and intangible) and liabilities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually on January 31, and more frequently as circumstances warrant, and written down only in the period in which the recorded value of such assets exceeds their fair value. The Company does not amortize goodwill in accordance with ASC 350. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of 4P Therapeutics LLC in 2018, the Company recorded Goodwill of $1,719,235. On August 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of the PCP Assets and Active Intelligence, the Company recorded Goodwill of $5,810,640. During the year ended January 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,180,836 reducing the PCP Assets and Active Intelligence goodwill to $3,629,813. The write down of goodwill is attributable primarily to the effect of the pandemic. COVID-19, unmet sales expectations, and other factors the Company determined resulted in the impairment. The valuation of the reporting unit does not exceed the carrying amount using the value in use or the going concern premise. As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, goodwill amounted to $5,349,039 and $7,529,875, respectively.

Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Potential shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock purchase warrants. As of January 31, 2022, and 2021, there were 1,288,432 and 141,830 common stock equivalents outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

The Company recognizes the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date, with limited exceptions specified in the accounting literature. In accordance with this guidance, acquisition-related costs, including restructuring costs, must be recognized separately from the acquisition and will generally be expensed as incurred. That replaces the cost-allocation process detailed in previous accounting literature, which required the cost of an acquisition to be allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabil ities assumed based on their estimated fair value.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (Topic 842), to provide a new comprehensive model for lease accounting under this guidance, lessees and lessors should apply a “right-of-use” model in accounting for all leases (including subleases) and eliminate the concept of operating leases and off-balance-sheet leases. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. Similar modifications have been made to lessor accounting in-line with revenue recognition guidance.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as amended effective February 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. In connection with the adoption, the Company elected to utilize the Comparative Under 840 Option whereby the Company will continue to present prior period financial statements and disclosures under ASC 840. In addition, the Company elected the transition package of three practical expedients permitted under the standard, which eliminates the requirements to reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company completed the necessary changes to its accounting policies, processes, disclosure and internal control over financial reporting.

Taxes are calculated in accordance with taxation principles currently effective in the United States and Ireland.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent they believe these assets will more-likely-than-not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of its net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are concentrated primarily in banks. At times, such deposits could be in excess of insured limits. Management believes that the financial institutions that hold the Company’s financial instruments are financially sound and, accordingly, minimal credit risk is believed to exist with respect to these financial instruments. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2022, three customers accounted for 19%, 17% and 13% of the Company’s revenues and three customers accounted for 58%, 21% and 17% of accounts receivable. As of and for the year ended January 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 62% of the Company’s revenues and two customers accounted for 67% and 13% of accounts receivable.

FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

The Company utilizes the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures for all financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis during the reporting period. The fair value is an exit price, representing the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants based upon the best use of the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are defined as follows:

Level 2 -Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 -Unobservable inputs about which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to the short maturities of these financial instruments.

The Company has reclassified prior year amounts to show the allocation of depreciation expense to cost of goods sold.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which modifies ASC 740 to reduce complexity or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on February 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the guidance in U.S. GAAP on the issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2021. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on February 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which clarifies how to properly account for deferred revenue in a business combination. ASU 2021-08 is effective for periods after December 15, 2022. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU 2021-08 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has reviewed all other FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effective dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous GAAP and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), with Pocono Coated Products (“PCP”), pursuant to which PCP agreed to sell the Company certain of the assets and liabilities associated with its Transdermal, Topical, Cosmetic, and Nutraceutical business, including: (1) all the equipment, intellectual property and trade secrets, cash balances, receivables, bank accounts and inventory, free and clear of all liens, except for certain lease obligations, and (2), a 100% membership interest in Active Intelligence, LLC (collectively the “Assets”). The net assets acquired were contributed to Pocono Pharmaceuticals Inc, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purchase price for the Assets was (i) $6,085,180 paid with the issuance of 608,519 shares in the Company’s common stock of Nutriband at a value of the average price of the previous 90 days at the date of Closing (the “Shares”), and (ii) a promissory note of the Company, net of debt discount, in the principal amount, of $1,332,893 (the Note”) which is due upon the earlier of (a) twelve (12) months from issuance, or (b) immediately following a capital raise of not less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000. Michael Myer, the CEO of PCP, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Company for period of one year at the annual meeting of shareholders of the Company held in October 2020.

The Agreement provides that it is effective August 31, 2020, on which date the parties also entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), with legal counsel serving as the escrow agent, providing for holding of the Note, certificate for the shares, and title to the Assets (held in a special purpose subsidiary) as collateral security for completion of all closing conditions under the Agreement. On that date, the parties also entered into a security agreement granting PCP a security interest in all proceeds of the Assets held as collateral under the Escrow Agreement.

The purpose of the Company entering into the transaction is to enhance the transdermal products operations of the Company. The fair value of consideration given was allocated to the net tangible assets acquired. Under U.S. GAAP, both the PCP segment and Active Intelligence were considered to be businesses and, as such, the transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information presents the combined results of operations of the Company and the two businesses acquired from PCP, Pocono and Active Intelligence, as if the acquisition occurred as part of the beginning of cash period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations of the Company that would have been reported had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the period presented and should not be taken as being representation of the future consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Depreciation expense amounted to $178,924 and $91,338 for the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. During the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021, depreciation expense of $113,000 and $45,000, respectively, have been allocated to cost of goods sold.

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”). As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no adjustment in the net liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company believes there are no potential uncertain tax positions, and all tax returns are correct as filed. Should the Company recognize a liability for uncertain tax positions, the Company will separately recognize the liability for uncertain tax positions on its balance sheet. Included in any liability or uncertain tax positions, the Company will also setup a liability for interest and penalties. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes.

There is no U.S. tax provision due to losses from U.S. operations for the years ended January 31, 202 2 and 2021. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The principal item giving rise to deferred taxes is the net operating loss carryforward in the U.S. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has set up a valuation allowance for losses for certain carryforwards that it believes may not be realized.

A reconciliation of taxes on income computed at the federal statutory rate to amounts provided is as follows:

As of January 31, 2022, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset associated with a net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward of approximately $7,700,000 that was fully offset by a valuation allowance due to the determination that it was more likely than not that the Company would be unable to utilize those benefits in the foreseeable future. The Company’s NOL expires in 2039. The tax effect of the valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,250,000 during the year ended January 31, 2022. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the corporate rate from 34% to 21%. Because the Company recognizes a valuation allowance for the entire balance, there is no net impact to the Company’s balance sheet or results of operations.

The types of temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts that give rise to the deferred tax liability and deferred tax asset and their approximate tax effects are as follows:

On March 21, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES ACT” was enacted. The CARES ACT established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which funds small businesses through federally guaranteed loans. Under the PPP, companies are eligible for forgiveness of principal and interest if the proceeds are used for eligible payroll costs, rent and utility costs. On June 17, 2020, the Company’s subsidiary, 4P Therapeutics, was advanced $34,870 under the PPP, all of which was forgiven as of April 30, 2021. The Company recorded a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $34,870 during the year ended January 31, 2022.

In July 2020, a minority shareholder made an additional loan to the Company in the amount of $100,000. The loan is interest-free and due upon demand. In October 2021, the loan was converted into 17,182 common shares of the Company. The shares were issued at fair market value and no gain or loss was recorded for the transaction.

Active Intelligence, the Company’s newly acquired subsidiary, entered into an agreement with the Carolina Small Business Development Fund for a line of credit of $160,000 due October 16, 2029, with interest of 5% per year. The amount assumed in Note 3 was $139,184. The loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $1,697. During the year ended January 31, 2022, principal and interest payments of $8,344 were forgiven under the Cares Act. The amount, $8,344, has been recorded as a gain on the forgiveness of debt. As of January 31, 2022, the amount due was $115,238, of which $14,119 is current.

Pocono has two finance leases secured by equipment. The leases mature in 2025 and 2026. The incremental borrowing rate is 5.0%. The amount due on the leases was $121,544, all of which was paid during the year ended January 2022.

On August 31, 2020, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Pocono Products LLC, the Company issued to Pocono Coated Products LLC a promissory note, net of debt discount, in the amount of $1,332,893 with interest accruing at an annual rate of 0.17%, due on August 28, 2021, or immediately following the earlier of a capital raise of no less than $4,000,000 and/or a public offering of no less than $4,000,000.

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and has subsequently spread world-wide. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 a pandemic resulting in federal, state and local governments and private entities proscribing various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings, stay at home orders and advisories and quarantining people who may have been exposed to the virus. The effect of these orders, government imposed quarantines and measures the Company and suppliers and customers it works with might have to take, such as work-at-home policies, may negatively impact productivity, disrupt our business and could delay our clinical programs and timelines, the magnitude of which will depend, in part, on the length and severity of the restrictions and disruptions in our operations, operating results and financial condition. Further, quarantines, shelter-in-place and similar government orders, or the perception that such orders, shutdowns, or other restrictions on the conduct of business could occur, related to COVID-19 or other infectious diseases could impact personnel at third-party manufacturing facilities in the United States and other countries, or the availability or cost of materials, which could disrupt our supply chain.

The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2022, and the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The results of the three months ended April 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Nutriband’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022.

Certain information and footnote disclosures required under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations, including interim reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosures of contingent amounts in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes. Actual results could differ from estimates.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2022. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three months ended April 30, 2022.

The following is a description of the Company’s revenue types, which include professional services and sale of goods:

A contract with a customer exists when (i) we enter into an enforceable contract with a customer that defines each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred and identifies the payment terms related to these goods or services, (ii) the contract has commercial substance and, (iii) we determine that collection of substantially all consideration for services that are transferred is probable based on the customer’s intent and ability to pay the promised consideration.

All revenue recognized in the income statement is considered to be revenue from contracts with customers.

Potential shares of common stock consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock purchase warrants. As of April 30, 2022, and 2021, there were 1,394,034 and 141,830 common stock equivalents outstanding, that were not included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

On July 27, 2018, the Company commenced an action in the Circuit Court of the Ninth Judicial Circuit in and for Orange County, Florida, against Advanced Health Brands, Inc., Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Laura Fillman and John Baker, together with a Motion for Temporary Injunction Without Notice and a Motion for Prejudgment Writ of Replevin arising from the Company’s decision to seek to rescind for misrepresentation the agreement by which the Company acquired advanced Health Brands, Inc. for 1,250,000 shares of common stock valued at $2,500,000 and seek return of the shares. On August 2, 2018, the court entered a Temporary Injunction Without Notice and an Order to Show Cause against the defendants. Defendants Kalmar, Murphy, Polly-Murphy, and Baker filed a Motion to Dismiss the Company’s Verified Complaint, Motion to Dissolve Temporary Injunction Without Notice and Response to Order to Show Cause, and Motion to Compel Arbitration. On January 4, 2019, the court dismissed the Company’s complaint with prejudice, and directed the defendants to assign the Company within 30 days, the six patents never duly transferred to the Company. On February 1, 2019, the Company appealed the court’s order. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with one of the defendants, that defendant returned the 50,000 shares which had been issued to her, and the shares were cancelled as of January 31, 2019. On June 7, 2019, the individual defendants (other than the defendant whom the Company has a settlement agreement), filed a motion for sanctions and civil contempt against us, which generally claimed that we failed to comply with the Court’s January 4, 2019, order by refusing to issue the Ruling 144 letters that would allow the defendants to transfer their shares of common stock. On October 29, 2019, the Court denied the Defendants motion. On March 20, 2020, the Florida district court of appeal reversed the lower court ruling in the Florida state court action that dismissed our complaint, with prejudice, and gave us leave to file an amended complaint. On July 7, 2020, Defendants filed Notice for Trial, requesting the court to set a trial date. The Company and defendants have served their first set of interrogatories on each other and have filed answers and responses to each other’s first set of interrogatories.

On April 29, 2019, the Company filed a securities fraud action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Raymond Kalmar, Paul Murphy, Michelle Polly-Murphy, Advanced Health Brands and TD Therapeutic, Inc. In the complaint the Company alleges that in 2017, the defendants fraudulently and deceitfully obtained 1,250,000 shares of common stock by orchestrating a months-long scheme to defraud the Company. The Company is seeking the return of the shares of common stock and monetary damages resulting from the defendants’ fraudulent conduct. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on August 23, 2019, and on September 13, 2019, the Company filed its response. On July 20, 2020, the Court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and the parties have recently commenced the discovery phase of the litigation. The Court has scheduled a trial date in June 2022.

On December 9, 2020, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Rambam Med-Tech Ltd. (“Rambam”), Haifa, Israel, to develop the RAMBAM Closed System Transfer Device (“CTSD”) and such other products as the parties agree to develop/commercialize. The Company will license from Rambam the full technology, IP, and title to CTSD in the field, with an Initial license fee of $50,000 and running royalties on net sales. The $50,000 license fee was paid by a third party at the direction of the Company in February 2021, at which time the agreement became effective. As of April 30, 2022, the development of the RAMBAM CSTD Device has been suspended until further notice as preliminary reviews and market research found the product was not commercially viable in its current form.

The Company had entered into a prior agreement, dated November 13, 2020, with BPM Inno Ltd., Kiryat, Israel (“BPM”), that, in consideration of BPM’s introduction of Rambam to the Company, provided for BPM to have the rights as the exclusive of agent of the Company with Rambam and any other parties similarly introduced by BPM, and for a commission payable to BPM by the Company of 4.5% of revenues received by the Company resulting from the introduction of Rambam (and any other companies as to which the exclusive agency of BPM was in effect), and for BPM’s payment of a royalty to Rambam. If the Company fails to commercialize the medical products subject to the License Agreement with Rambam within 36 months, under the November 13, 2020 agreement, BPM and the Company would share 50/50 in the revenues generated from sales of the licensed products from Rambam. This agreement further provides that it will be effective for a period of 10 years, with either party having the right to terminate on notice given 30 days prior to the desired termination, and also provided for certain territorial distribution rights of BPM as are set forth in the March 10, 2021 Distribution Agreement between the Company and BPM. As of April 30, 2022, no revenues have been earned and royalties have been accrued.

The estimated cost to complete the feasibility Workplan is approximately $1.7 million and the timing to complete will be between eight to twelve months. Nutriband made an advance deposit of $250,000 in January 2022, to be applied against the final invoice. The Workplan has commenced in February 2022, and the parties believe the Workplan will be completed in the time estimated in the agreement. As of April 30, 2022, the Company has incurred expenses of $36,000 and the deposit of $250,000 is included in prepaid expenses.

On February 1, 2022, Pocono Pharmaceuticals entered into a lease agreement with Geometric Group, LLC for 12,000 square feet of warehouse space currently occupied by Active Intelligence. The monthly rental is $3,000 and the lease expires on January 31, 2025. The lease can be extended for an additional three years at the same monthly rental. The Company recorded a Right of Use asset in the amount of $94,134 in connection with the valuation using an incremental borrowing rate of 9%. During the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company paid $9,000 and recorded rent expense of $7,844. As of April 30, 2022, the operating lease liability was $87,235, of which $65,569 is long-term, which represents the operating liability less interest of $11,765.

Subsequent to April 30, 2022, the Company purchased 944 shares of its common stock for $3,746 and recorded the transaction as Treasury Stock. On May 10, 2022, the Company issued 24,500 shares to management, directors and employees from the treasury shares. The issuance of the shares was recorded as compensation and the fair value at the date of issuance was $93,100.
