NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS
After formation, the Company was in the business of mineral exploration. On May 3, 2010, the Company sold its mineral exploration business and entered into an Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement (“IP Agreement”) with Soren Nielsen pursuant to which Mr. Nielsen transferred his right, title and interest in all intellectual property relating to certain chewing gum compositions having appetite suppressant activity (the “IP”) to the Company for the issuance of 55,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
Following the acquisition of the IP the Company changed its business direction to pursue the development of chewing gums for the delivery of Nutraceutical/functional ingredients for applications such as appetite suppressant, cholesterol suppressant, vitamin delivery, antioxidant delivery and motion sickness suppressant.
On June 21, 2018, the Company signed an escrow agreement with Mr. Lauritsen to serve as its Chief Operating Officer and to contribute the IP for the company’s chewing gum business. In that agreement, the Company compensated Mr. Lauritsen with 1,000,000 shares of its common stock and cash in the amount of $90,000 USD. In March 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to Mr. Lauritsen rendered with a deemed value of services provided of $ 90,000.
The business plan of the company will no longer be focused on a chewing gum delivery system but it will re-focus its activities to the development of cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like, and non-cannabinoid pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pharmaceutical medicines made from cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like, and non-cannabinoid APIs and European novel food approval of cannabinoid-based, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid ingredients and products .In addition, the company plans to develop such bulk ingredients for supply into the cosmetic sector.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has a September 30 fiscal year end.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Alterola Biotech Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s registration statement filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the financial statements to be not misleading have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year 2019 as reported in Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Funds held in attorney trust
The company does not have its own bank account. Amounts due from attorney represents fund held on behalf of the Company in trust by its legal counsel.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Alterola’s financial instruments consist of cash and equivalents, accrued expenses, accrued interest and notes payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value (“FV”) due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
FV is defined as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. The FV should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the FV of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk including our own credit risk.
In addition to defining FV, the disclosure requirements around FV establish a FV hierarchy for valuation inputs which is expanded. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring FV are observable in the market. Each FV measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the FV measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
Level 1 – inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – inputs are based upon significant observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The FV are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques.
The carrying value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and notes payable are valued using level 1 inputs. The Company believes that the recorded values approximate their FV due to the short maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, exchange or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements are presented in US Dollars. Transactions with foreign subsidiaries where US dollars are not the functional currency will be recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 830 Foreign Currency Transaction. According to Topic 830, all assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, stockholders’ equity is translated at historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income (loss) in accordance with ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income . Gains and losses resulting from the translations of foreign currency transactions and balances are reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss
Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ASC 605. As of and for the year ended September 30, 2018, the financial statements were not materially impacted as a result of the application of Topic 606 compared to Topic 605.
Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period. The Company does not have any potentially dilutive instruments.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at FV in accordance with ASC Topic 718. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to an officer for services rendered with a deemed value of services provided of $90,000 for services rendered from April 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019.
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock to an officer for services rendered with a deemed value of services provided of $90,000.
Risks and Uncertainties
On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Actions taken around the world to help mitigate the spread of the coronavirus include restrictions on travel, and quarantines in certain areas, and forced closures for certain types of public places and business. The Coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have had an are expected to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company plans to operate.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Alterola does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2019
NOTE 7 – LIQUIDITY & GOING CONCERN
Alterola has negative working capital, has incurred losses since inception, and has not received revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of Alterola to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 855-10, the Company analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2019 to the date these financial statements were issued, and determined it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.
On July 20, 2020, the Company appointed certain directors and officers. As part of the appointment, each individual received issuance of 1,000,000 shares of common stock, respectfully, valued at $10,000 per individual.
On September 4, 2020, the Company issued 6,000,000 shares of common stock to the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer and Director, as compensation for services to the Company, valued at $60,000.
On September 18, 2020, the Company issued 200,000,000 shares of common stock to Amsterdam Café Holdings Ltd, at a price of $0.001 per share, for total proceeds of $200,000.
On January 19, 2021, the Company entered into an Stock Transfer Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ABTI Pharma Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (“ABTI Pharma”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of ABTI Pharma from its shareholders in exchange for 600,000,000 shares of the Company pro rata to the ABTI Pharma shareholders. The shares have been issued in anticipation of the closing and the transaction will close upon the ABTI Pharma Limited Shares being transferred to the Company which will occur upon the filing by the Company of its outstanding annual report and form 10-K for 2019, and its quarterly reports for 2020, that are anticipated to be filed by March 30th 2021.

The business plan will no longer be focused on a chewing gum delivery system but will re-focus its activities to the development of cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like, and non-cannabinoid pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), pharmaceutical medicines made from cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like, and non-cannabinoid APIs and European novel food approval of cannabinoid-based, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid ingredients and products .In addition, Alterola will development such bulk ingredients for supply into the cosmetic sector.
The IP relating to the development of chewing gum to deliver nutraceutical/functional ingredients for applications such as appetite suppressant, cholesterol suppressant, vitamin delivery, antioxidant delivery and motion sickness suppressant is not relevant to a pharmaceutical business. These products / items will no longer be the focus of the business and will be removed from the business.
The new business plan of the company is for the company’s operations to be expanded and repositioned as a fully, regulatory-compliant pharmaceutical company specializing in the development of the following:
• cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid pharmaceutical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) globally,
• pharmaceutical medicines made from cannabinoid, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid APIs globally
• European novel food approval of cannabinoid-based, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid ingredients
• European novel food approval of products containing cannabinoids, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid ingredients.
• European approval of cosmetic products containing cannabinoids, cannabinoid-like and non-cannabinoid ingredients.
As part of its expansion strategy the company is also interested in recruiting key executives and personnel that have experience in the controlled drugs / cannabinoid medicines industry. The focus will be on recruiting outstanding talents that have contributed or can contribute more in the future with our plan of expansion.
The company also has interest in licensing / acquiring other IP from companies that have IP pertinent to the new pharmaceutical / food / cosmetic ingredient generation and product development strategy.
Under consideration for our acquisition strategy are companies that have existing pharmaceutical research and/or development or manufacturing capability or associated IP. Some of these companies have IP which is available to consolidate into our company strategy. These acquisition or in-licensing opportunities have various contributions to facilitate the company to develop ingredients and products for food and beverage industry in Europe.

The controlled drugs / cannabinoid pharmaceutical market worldwide has experienced exponential growth over the past few years in the development of products.
It is Alterola’s intention to develop ingredients and products on a global basis, fully compliant with the appropriate international laws and regulations and also compliant with the relevant national laws and regulations on a territory-by-territory basis.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2019 and 2018
We have generated no revenues since inception and we do not anticipate earning revenues until such time that we are able to market and sell our products.
We incurred operating expenses of $104,693 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared with $52,387 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Our operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2019 mainly consisted of $60,000 in consulting fees, $30,000 in director fees and $10,250 in accounting and audit fees. Our operating expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 consisted mainly of $30,000 in director fees and $27,000 in stock based compensation. .
We recorded $79,000 in other income for the three months ended December 31, 2019, as compared with $249 in interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Our other income for December 31, 2019 consisted of third party consideration to the company for effecting a change in stock symbol.
We recorded a net loss of $25,693 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared with a net loss of $52,636 for the three months ended December 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, we had $19,307 in current assets and currently liabilities of $231,572. We had a working capital deficit of $212,265 as of December 31, 2019.
We had no operating, investing or financing cash flows to report for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next 12 months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2019, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.
Going Concern
Our financial statements were prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred cumulative losses of $890,832 for the period July 21, 2008 (inception date) through December 31, 2019, expect to incur further losses in the development of our business and have been dependent on funding operations through the issuance of convertible debt and private sale of equity securities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include continuing to finance operations through the private or public placement of debt and/or equity securities and the reduction of expenditures. However, no assurance can be given at this time as to whether we will be able to achieve these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2019. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management has identified the following material weaknesses which have caused management to conclude that, as of December 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
Remediation Plan to Address the Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending September 30, 2021: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
