CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Applied Biosciences Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expects”, “plans”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about our market opportunity, our strategies, competition, expected activities and expenditures as we pursue our business plan, and the adequacy of our available cash resources. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Actual results may differ materially from the predictions discussed in these forward-looking statements. The economic environment within which we operate could materially affect our actual results. Additional factors that could materially affect these forward-looking statements and/or predictions include, among other things: the possibility that we will not receive sufficient customers to grow our business, the Company’s need for and ability to obtain additional financing, other factors over which we have little or no control; and other factors discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Our management has included projections and estimates in this Form 10-Q, which are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the SEC or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of the Company
Applied BioSciences Corp. (formerly First Fixtures, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 21, 2014 and established a fiscal year end of March 31. Effective October 24, 2016 the Company changed its name from First Fixtures Inc. to Stony Hill Corp and on March 6, 2018, the Company changed its name from Stony Hill Corp. to Applied BioSciences Corp. The Company is a diversified company focused on multiple areas of the medical, bioceutical and pet health industry. As a company in the bioceutical and pet health industries, the company is currently shipping to the majority of US states, as well as to multiple non-US countries. The Company is focused on select investment, consumer brands, and partnership opportunities in the recreational, health and wellness, nutraceutical, and media industries.
We have established key exclusive strategic alliances which serve to help accomplish the task of becoming the market leader. Directly and through our partners, we sell consumer products including health and wellness creams, tinctures, edibles, confections, clothing, apparel, and other various branded products.
Basis of presentation – Unaudited Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, or for any other interim period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2018, which are included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K for such year filed on June 28, 2018.
Going concern
These condensed statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $401,757 and used $162,036 of cash in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Further, the Company’s independent auditor in their audit report for fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company sold 37,500 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.00 per share for total proceeds of $75,000 and issued a convertible note in the amount of $29,500 both in private placements to accredited investors. However, the Company will need and is currently working on obtaining additional funds to operate its business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-Q filing. There is no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms acceptable to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders in the case of convertible debt and equity financing.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017
(unaudited)
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Applied Products LLC, VitaCBD LLC, an 80% owned entity, both Washington limited liability companies and SHL Management LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Management evaluates its investments on an individual basis for purposes of determining whether or not consolidation is appropriate.
Reclassification of Certain Prior Year Information
The Company has reclassified prior year sales and marketing expenses of $19,565 that were previously included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassification of sales and marketing expenses had no impact on net loss or cash flows.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Among other things, management estimates include the collectability of its accounts receivable, recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in determining impairment of investments and intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 606 on April 1, 2018, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (ASC 606). The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contract(s), which includes (1) identifying the contract(s) or agreement(s) with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied.
Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract are satisfied, which occurs for the Company upon shipment or delivery of products or services to our customers based on written sales terms, which is also when control is transferred. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring the products or services to a customer.
The implementation of ASC 606 had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements and no cumulative effect adjustment was recognized.
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 amounted to $344,044 and $19,565, respectively, and are included in "Sales and Marketing expenses" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The majority of these costs were related to stock issuance to a third party.

Earnings (Loss) per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items.
Investments
Through March 31, 2018, the Company used either the equity method or the cost method of accounting. The Company used the equity method for unconsolidated equity investments in which the Company was considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. The Company used the cost method for all other investments. Under the cost method, there is no change to the cost basis unless there is an other-than-temporary decline in value or dividends are received. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes down the cost basis of the investment to a new cost basis that represents realizable value.
On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Among other things, this new guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As such, the Company measures its equity investments at their fair value at end of each reporting period.
Investments accounted for under the equity method or cost method of accounting above are included in the caption "Equity investments" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. This update will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and related disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT
Equity investments relate to purchases of stock in certain entities with ownership percentages of less than 5%. As of March 31, 2018, these investments were recorded at their cost basis. On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, and as such, these investments were recorded at their market value as of June 30, 2018. The investments consist of the following:

In October 2017, the Company purchased 7,309 shares of Preferred A-1 stock of Cannabi at a price of $2.536 per share for total investment of $18,537. As of March 31, 2018, total investment amounted to $68,537, which accounts for less than 5% in Cannabi. Cannabi is a private company incorporated in the State of Israel that provides lab-grade medical cannabis quality control testing systems used to test the quality of medical marijuana flowers. The fair value of the investment at June 30, 2018 approximated its cost basis.
(B) In January 2017, the Company entered in to an agreement to purchase 59,524 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $4.20 per share for total investment of $250,000, which accounts for less than 5% investment in Hightimes Holdings Corp. (“Hightimes”). Hightimes owns Hight Times Magazine and hosts festivals, events and competitions including the High Times Cannabis Cup and multiple e-commerce properties, including HighTimes.com, CannabisCup.com and 420.com. As of June 30, 2018, the Company was able to obtain observable evidence that the investment had a market value of $6.87 per share, or an aggregate value of $408,929. As such, the Company recorded an unrecognized gain from the change in market value of $158,929 during the period ended June 30, 2018.
(C) In June 2017, the Company entered in a Subscription Agreement to purchase 0.5% interest in Precision Cultivation Systems, LLC (“Precision”), a limited liability private company incorporated in Delaware, for a purchase price of $50,000. Precision is developing a growth system that capitalizes on a patent-pending cultivation method that utilizes proprietary irrigation and root zone conditioning.

Amounts subject to repayment are solely at the discretion of Precision. The fair value of the investment at June 30, 2018 approximated its cost basis.
(D) In January 2018, the Company paid $100,000 for the purchase of a Membership Interest in Bailey Venture Partners XII LLC (“Bailey”) representing less than 5% interest in Bailey. Along with other funds received from third-party investors, Bailey plans to invest funds received in various strategic investments. The Company recorded this investment at cost and will recognize dividends, if any, when received, and will recognize gains or loss upon either selling the securities or recognize a loss prior to selling the securities if there is evidence that the fair market value of the investment has declined to below the recorded historical cost. The fair value of the investment at June 30, 2018 approximated its cost basis.
As the Company does not participate in the management of these companies nor has the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies, the Company recorded these investments at cost, and as of April 1, 2018, will adjust the cost basis to market at the end of each reporting period. Dividends, if any, will be recognized when received.

NOTE 4 – CONVERTIBLE NOTE
In June 2018, the Company issued two separate 8% Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) having a total available principal amount of $50,000 each of which the Company borrowed $29,500 as of June 30, 2018. All outstanding principal together with interest on this Note is due and payable on December 31, 2018. The note holder, at its sole discretion and election, may convert any part or all of the then outstanding principal and/or interest on these Notes into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed price per share of $1.00. As the conversion price of $1.00 reflected a price discount below the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the date of the receipt of proceeds, there was deemed a beneficial conversion feature associated with these Notes. As such, the Company recorded $28,705 in additional paid-in capital and debt discount representing the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature at the date of the borrowing against the Notes. The value of the beneficial conversion feature is being amortized over the term of the Notes of which $1,201 was amortized and reflected as interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the unamortized debt discount was $26,906. As of June 30, 2018, the balance of the $29,500 note, net of the unamortized discount of $26,906 was $2,594.

Revenues: Revenue from products relate to shipments of cannabidiol (“CBD”) brand products. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we earned revenue from our product lines of $10,434 as compared to $55,332 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease of $44,898 relates to our efforts to replace then existing CBD products and changed our product lines and branding to our new Remedi, TherPet and CanaGel products. This required our change in marketing, branding, labeling and warehousing which ultimately caused sales to temporarily slow until we relaunched our new CBD products during our quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Cost of Goods Sold: Cost of goods sold consists of purchases of CBD product inventory for sale. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $17,758 of costs primarily related to product purchases and labeling of new products as compared to $37,946 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease of $20,188 reflects our refocus and launch of new products during our quarter ended June 30, 2018.
Gross (Loss) Margin: Gross (loss) margin comprised from our sale of products and was a gross loss of $7,324 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a gross margin of $17,386 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease of $24,710 reflects our refocus and launch of new products during our quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Sales and Marketing: Sales and marketing expenses mainly comprised of advertising, public relations, events, and website marketing costs. Sales and marketing expenses increased $324,479 to $344,044 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $19,565 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The majority of the increase related to public relation services, website marketing development and increased advertising and promotion costs. The majority of these expenses are related to stock issuance and a non-cash expense.
General and Administrative: General and administrative expenses mainly comprised of professional fees, travel expenses, meals and entertainment and other office support costs. General and administrative expenses increased $68,249 to $207,146 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $138,897 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The majority of the increase related to higher professional fees and general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation expense was $293 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $59,128 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease relates to amortization during our three months ended June 30, 2017 related to a brand that we acquired in February 2017, which was fully expensed during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. We did not own any similar intangibles that required amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Unrecognized Gain on Equity Investments: As of June 30, 2018, we were able to obtain observable evidence that an investment we own had increased by $2.67 per share for an aggregate value of $408,929, which was $158,929 higher than our original purchase price for this investment. As such, we recorded an unrecognized gain from the change in market value of $158,929 during the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Interest Expense: During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $1,879 of interest costs related to a convertible note that we entered into in June 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
A summary of our cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2018 is as follows:
Net cash used in operating activities was $162,036 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $61,386 for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase in use of cash in operations mainly related to higher general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses from our operations.
Net cash used in investing activities was nil during the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $50,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017, which comprised of a $50,000 equity investment we made during that period.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $104,500 as compared to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The amounts received during our three months ended June 30, 2018 related to $75,000 from proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock and $29,500 received from a convertible note.
Going Concern
Our uses of cash have been primarily for strategic investments we made and operations and marketing efforts to promote and develop our products and company. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by financing, primarily through the sale of equity securities, as we have only recently begun to receive revenues from our principal business activities and we have used cash for various strategic investments for which we typically receive returns when such investments are sold and when or if dividends are declared. We anticipate that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to expand and bring to market our products and investments before sufficient and consistent positive operating cash flows will be achieved. As such, additional funds will be needed to continue operations, obtain profitability and to achieve our objectives. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, our cash resources are insufficient to meet our current operating expense requirements and planned business objectives beyond the date of this Form 10-Q filing without additional financing.

Table of Contents |
As reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere is this Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2018 we had cash on hand and had an accumulated deficit of $3,398 and $3,297,434, respectively, and during the three months ended June 30, 2018, we utilized cash for operations and incurred a net loss of $162,036 and $401,757, respectively. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further, our independent auditors in their audit report for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from our operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we raised $75,000 through the receipt of Subscription Agreements (“Subscription”) where we sold 37,500 shares of our common stock to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per share. We also received during the three months ended June 30, 2018 $29,500 from the issuance of a convertible note. As of June 30, 2018, we had cash on hand of $3,398. We estimate that such funds will not be sufficient to continue operations without obtaining additional funds. As such, we are currently working on obtaining additional funds to operate our business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-Q filing. However, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms acceptable to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of convertible debt and equity financing.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in determining impairment of investments and intangible, useful life of our intangible, and accruals for potential liabilities. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.
Investments
For investments that are not required to be consolidated, we use either the equity method or the cost method of accounting. We use the equity method for unconsolidated equity investments in which we are considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. We use the cost method for all other investments. Under the cost method, there is no change to the cost basis unless there is an other-than-temporary decline in value or dividends are received. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary, we write down the cost basis of the investment to a new cost basis that represents realizable value.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See our discussion of recent accounting policies in Footnote 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with this quarterly report, as required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
