NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

 

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 January 19, 2021, the Company entered into an Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with ABTI Pharma Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (“ABTI Pharma”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to 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 were issued on January 29, 2021 in anticipation of the closing and the parties to the transaction agreed in a March 24, 2021 amendment to close upon the ABTI Pharma Limited Shares being transferred to the Company, which was to occur upon the filing by the Company of its outstanding December 31, 2020 quarterly report on Form 10-Q, which was filed on May 28, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction closed on May 28, 2021.

 

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.

 

The transaction is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. ABTI Pharma is the acquirer for accounting purposes and the Company is the issuer. The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of Alterola Biotech Inc.. The Agreement was treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination; at the date of the acquisition, the net liabilities of the legal acquirer, Alterola, were less than $50,000.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America (GAAP accounting) and include the accounts of Alterola and its wholly owned subsidiaries ABTI Pharma, Phytotherapeutix Ltd, Ferven Ltd., and Nano4M Ltd. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

 The Company had a September 30 fiscal year end. Subsequent to the Agreement with ABTI Pharma, the Company has changed its year end from September 30 to March 31.

 

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 CONSOLIDATEDEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Funds in attorney trust account

The company has a fully operational US Dollar ($) and a Sterling (£) bank account in the United Kingdom with the HSBC Group.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.

  

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.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

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, 2022, 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. The Company has issued 15 million warrants to EMC2 Capital LLC.

 

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

 

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 and 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.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION

 

On November 9, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with C2 Wellness Corporation for acquisition of patents, molecules, and a research and development team. The transaction was closed by providing 24,000,000 million shares of the company to the prior owners of C2 Wellness Corporation, who stayed on and are working as consultants for the company.

On August 1, 2022, the company issued a note payable for 90 days, bearing zero interest for the term of the note, for cash received by the Company on June 29, 2022, and July 18, 2022, totaling $75,000. As part of the note the Company committed delivery of 2,250,000 shares to the note holders.

 

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Currently, Alterola neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. We maintain our corporate offices at 47 Hamilton Square Birkenhead Merseyside CH41 5AR United Kingdom. One of the company directors has a beneficial ownership in the property, which is leased on “arm’s length” terms. There is no obligation for the officer to continue this arrangement. Such costs are immaterial to the financial statements and accordingly are not reflected herein. The officers and directors are involved in other business activities and most likely will become involved in other business activities in the future.

 

NOTE 7 – LIQUIDITY & GOING CONCERN

 

Alterola has negative working capital of $1,117,115 has incurred losses since inception of 9,021,731, 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 September 30, 2022 to the date these financial statements were issued. The Company has determined the following to be a subsequent event:

 

On 07 October 2022, the Company announced the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement with Bright Green, which occurred on October 4, 2022

 

On September 30, 2022, Mr. Seamus McAuley resigned as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect. On 03 October 2022, the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Mr. Seamus McAuley as Chief Executive Officer and also appointed Mr. David Hitchcock, OBE, as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer.

Overview

 

Recent Developments

 

On August 30, 2022, we entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) dated August 25, 2022 with Bright Green Corporation (“Bright Green”), a Delaware corporation, with a binding provision for Bright Green to acquire a 25% interest (the “Share Purchase”) in our company from existing shareholders in exchange for $4,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The LOI also has a non-binding option for Bright Green to acquire all of our outstanding capital stock.

 

The Share Purchase was subject to a Share Purchase Agreement with the following conditions, all of which have been satisfied:

 

1)       Bright Green shall have obtained and completed sufficient and satisfactory financing of the Purchase Price;

2)       We shall submit to, and facilitate, a due diligence review performed by Bright Green’s counsel; and

3)       Terry Rafih, or his designee, shall be appointed to our board of directors.

 

The Purchase Price was to be divided equally among the following shareholder companies for their shares, controlled by affiliates of our company namely: Phyotherapeutix Holdings Ltd (Colin Stott), Equipped4 Holdings Limited (Dominic Schiller) and TPR Global Limited (Timothy Rogers).

 

These shareholder affiliates, through their respective companies, have committed to enter into loan agreements with our company to provide up to $4,000,000 USD of working capital.

 

With respect to the non-binding option to acquire all of our shares, we and Bright Green have agreed to work in good faith and in a reasonable time-frame to reach a binding agreement to be executed in a final set of definitive documents (“Definitive Agreement”) governing the option for a price equal to $0.06 per share.

 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the signed Letter of Intent, we plan to gain access to Bright Green’s planned cannabis and cannabis extracts, derivatives, products and research services, and Bright Green will in turn benefit from our established industry relationships and sector expertise. The parties believe a successful collaboration will create a strong pathway to secure, provide and supply cannabis and derivative products to the pharmaceutical industry.

Our Business

 

Our goal is to provide better medicines for patients across the globe. We believe in harnessing the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and cannabinoid- like compounds, which can bring valuable treatments to seriously ill patients. Rather than just focusing on one method of identifying, researching and developing such medicines, we are interested in developing new medicines from all sources including botanical, traditional chemical synthesis and biosynthetic methodologies.

 

On May 28, 2021, we acquired ABTI Pharma Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (“ABTI Pharma”), with the purchase of all of its capital stock in exchange for 600,000,000 shares of our common stock pro rata to the ABTI Pharma shareholders.

 

As a result of the acquisition, we are a pharmaceutical company working with cannabinoid and cannabinoid like molecules. We have three areas of focus:

 

1)Development of regulated pharmaceuticals (human and animal health) and regulated food products. This has been achieved via the strategic acquisition of Phytotherapeutix Ltd.;

 

2)Production of low cost of goods Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) and food-grade ingredients (supported by the strategic acquisition of Ferven Ltd); and

 

3)Formulation, and drug delivery, providing improved bioavailability, solubility and stability (supported by the exclusive licensing of IP and technology from Nano4M Ltd).

 

Phytotherapeutix Ltd, a subsidiary of ABTI Pharma, has generated a number of molecules with patents pending, some of which have demonstrable pharmacological activity, similar to that of CBD. This means that some of these molecules are anticipated to have a similar market potential to CBD across a range of therapeutic areas.

  

Ferven Ltd, another subsidiary of ABTI Pharma, is looking to produce cannabinoids by fermentation. The exclusively licensed organism has the potential to be genetically modified to produce multiple cannabinoids at an anticipated very low cost of goods. It is anticipated that the selected genetically modified organisms will grow very quickly, which in turn, reduces the cost of production.

 

Nano4M Ltd is a company which has exclusively licensed its nano-formulation patents and know-how to ABTI Pharma Ltd.

 

As a result of the acquisition of assets and intellectual property from C2 Wellness Corp. on December 02, 2021, Alterola now has the following assets and intellectual property:

 

  • Novel cannabinoid molecules and their associated intellectual property;
  • Novel cannabinoid pro-drugs, and their associated intellectual property;
  • Novel proprietary cannabinoid formulations, designed to target lymphatic delivery, and their associated intellectual property;
  • Novel proprietary nano-encapsulated cannabinoid formulations, in self-dissolving polymers, and their associated intellectual property; and
  • Cannabinoids and cannabinoid pro-drug formulations for topical ocular delivery, and their associated intellectual property.

Additionally, we may consider entering into Joint Venture Partnerships, or acquire companies with complimentary portfolios or enter into Licensing Agreements to enhance the product portfolio. These are strategies the Company may implement and any such opportunities will be assessed on a case by case basis and on their merit at the time.

 

Alterola and ABTI Pharma management has extensive proven experience, know-how and connections in the cannabinoid medicines sector, and is looking to utilize this knowledge and experience for the development of such medicines from existing cannabinoids and cannabinoid-like molecules.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021

 

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 ingredients and / or products / medicines.  

 

We incurred operating expenses of $541,082 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $262,078 for the same period ended 2021. We incurred operating expenses of $1,353,771 for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $412,638 for the same period ended 2021.

 

Our operating expenses in 2022 increased as a result of research and development, human resource expenditures for employees, consultants and directors, as well as expenditures for legal fees and accounting and audit fees. With more staff and the lack of financing, we have not been able to ramp up research and development activities this quarter with only $22,614 spent as compared to $124,034 spent for the same period in 2021.

 

If we are able to obtain financing, we expect that our operational expenses will increase significantly for the balance of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and beyond. This would be the result of increased research and development expenses associated with our product candidates, the regulatory process of development of those products, increased payroll as we take on more help, as well as the expenses associated with our reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

We recorded a net loss of $445,652 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $262,078 for the same period ended 2021. We recorded a net loss of $1,258,341 for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $412,638 for the same period ended 2021.

 

As a relatively recently formed pharmaceutical company, the company has limited operations to date, and expects to have reoccurring losses, as is typical with companies in the pharmaceutical industry, for the foreseeable future. As explained above, the company intends to raise capital and ramp up its efforts to bring its product candidates to market. This will require significant capital, product development to continue and complete and momentum on those product candidates through the regulatory process. There are no assurances that we will be able to generate revenues and achieve profitable operations.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2022, we had $183,744 in current assets, consisting mostly of a deferred tax credit, and current liabilities of $1,371,259. We had a working capital deficit of $1,187,515 as of September 30, 2022, compared with a working capital deficit of $957,037 as of June 30, 2022.

 

We used cash for operating activities of $433,613 for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with cash used of $108,874 for the same period ended 2021. Our negative operating cash flow for 2022 was mainly the result of a net loss and deferred tax credit offset by shares issued for services. Our negative operating cash flow for 2021 was the result of our net loss, offset by net changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

We used no cash in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2022, as compared with $34,746 used in investing activities for the same period ended 2021 for investments in intellectual property.

 

Financing activities provided $367,347 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as a result of related party notes, as compared with $321,098 provided for the same period ended 2021, as a result of proceeds from share issuances and convertible notes.

 

On August 1, 2022, we entered into loan agreements for a total of US $75,000 with a 90-day repayment term.

 

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 short-term or long-term debt and/or equity financing arrangements, however this may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. If Bright Green exercises its option to acquire the remaining stock in Alterola, then Alterola will be wholly owned by Bright Green and the development programs may be financed by Bright Green. Without it, 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 September 30, 2022, 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 negative working capital of $1,187,515 as of September 30, 2022, and have incurred losses since inception of $9,092,131. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business and have been dependent on funding operations from inception. 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 September 30, 2022. 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 September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022, 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 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 March 31, 2023: (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 September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
