Organization

CNBX Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada, on September 15, 2004, under the name of Thrust Energy Corp.

On September 30, 2010, we increased our authorized capital to 900 million shares of common stock (par value $0.0001) and 100 million shares of preferred stock (par value $0.0001) and effected a 20-for-1 reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse split, our issued and outstanding common stock was reduced from 13,604,000 shares to 680,202 common shares, 100,000,000 preferred shares were unaffected.

On April 25, 2014, the Company experienced a change in control. Cannabics, Inc. (“Cannabics”) acquired a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company in accordance with stock purchase agreements. On the closing date, April 25, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Cannabics purchased 41,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding restricted common stock for $198,000, representing 51%.

On May 21, 2014, the Company changed its name, via merger in the state of Nevada, to CNBX Pharmaceuticals Inc. The Company’s principal offices are in Bethesda, Maryland. The Company changed its course of business to laboratory research and development.

On June 19, 2014, FINRA granted final approval of Change of Name & Ticker Symbol of the Corporation from American Mining Corporation to CNBX PHARMACEUTICALS INC., with the new Ticker Symbol of “CNBX”. Said approval was predicated upon CNBX Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s filing of Articles of Merger with American Mining Corporation with the Nevada Secretary of State on May 21st, 2014. Under the laws of the State of Nevada, CNBX Pharmaceuticals Inc. was merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant being the surviving entity. The Merger was completed under Section 92A.180 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, Chapter 92A, as amended, and as such, does not require the approval of the stockholders of either the Registrant or CNBX Pharmaceuticals Inc.

On August 25, 2014, the Company organized G.R.I.N. Ultra Ltd. (“GRIN”), an Israeli corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. GRIN will provide research and development activities for the Company’s products in Israel.

On July 24, 2017, the Company announced its establishment of a genetics laboratory to develop diagnostic tools based on human genome, tumor genetics and specific cannabinoids.

On August 20^th, 2020, the Company announced the creation of a new Division for its Anti-Tumor drug candidate RCC-33, for the treatment of colorectal cancer. The emanates from the Company’s focus on a clinical validation path, including in-vivo experiments, collaborations with key medical centers, and the preparation of a product dossier with which the company plans to schedule a Pre IND-Meeting with the US FDA.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial statement presentation and in accordance with Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required in annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our August 31, 2021 annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 29^th, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and GRIN. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. While the Company has incurred a net loss of $2,561,891 for the six months ended February 28, 2022, it has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $19,387,609. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its abilities to generate revenues, to continue to raise investment capital, and develop and implement its business plan. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

Research and Development Costs

The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 730 “Research and Development” (“ASC 730”). ASC 730 requires that research and development costs be charged to expense when incurred. Research and development costs charged to expense were $770,620 and $749,688 for the six months ended February 28, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Company Overview

We are a pre-clinical-stage, platform technology biopharmaceutical company which has developed proprietary innovative medicines in areas of significant unmet medical needs in oncology, with a current focus on colorectal cancer ("CRC"). Our drug candidate under development for colon cancer is RCC-33, a first-in-class therapy being developed primarily in two settings: one to reduce tumor cell activity in colon cancer patients as a standalone in neoadjuvant treatment or "window of opportunity" at the time after colonoscopy, prior to cancer staging; and another for patients with refractory to therapy and adjuvant to surgery also at the time after colonoscopy. The Company hopes to start first in human Phase I/II clinical trials in 2023. Neoadjuvant treatment is the administration of a therapy before the surgical treatment to improve patient outcome, and our business strategy is to advance our programs through clinical studies including with partners, and to opportunistically add programs in areas of high unmet medical needs through acquisition, collaboration, or internal development.

For the Three Months Ended February 28, 2022 and 2021

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended February 28, 2022, our total operating expenses were $730,261 compared to $667,869 for the three months ended February 28, 2021, resulting in an increase of $62,392.

As a result, the net loss was $1,238,871 for the three months ended February 28, 2022, compared to a net loss of $534,755 for the three months ended February 28, 2021.

Net loss for the three months ended February 28, 2022 was $1,238,871 compared to net loss $534,755 for the three months ended February 28, 2021, for the reasons explained above.

Other comprehensive profit

We incurred another comprehensive loss of $366,790 for the three months ended February 28, 2022. The loss was due to a valuation of a financial asset, consisting of the Company’s shares held in Sativus Inc (previously Seedo Inc), as a result; the total comprehensive loss was $1,605,661 for the three months ended February 28, 2022.

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2022 and 2021

Operating Expenses

For the six months ended February 28, 2022, our total operating expenses were $1,840,610 compared to $1,327,601 for the six months ended February 28, 2021, resulting in an increase of $513,009. The increase is attributable to a total increase of $492,077 in general administration, and sales and marketing expenses and increase of $20,932 in research and development expenses.

We realized finance expenses of $721,280 for the six months ended February 28, 2022, which mainly attributable to convertible loan valuation of $678,392 and exchange differences in total of $42,256 and. Compared to other income of $138,079 for the six months ended February 28, 2021. As a result, the net loss was $2,561,891 for the six months ended February 28, 2022, compared to a net loss of $1,189,522 for the six months ended February 28, 2021. 

Net loss

Net loss for the six months ended February 28, 2022 was $2,561,891 compare to net loss of $1,189,522 for the six months ended February 28, 2022.

Other comprehensive profit

We incurred another comprehensive loss of $648,001 for the six months ended February 28, 2022. The loss was mainly attributable to a revaluation of a financial asset, consisting of the Company’s shares held in Sativus (previously Seedo), in the total amount of $648,001 As a result; the total comprehensive loss was $3,209,892 for the six months ended February 28, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

As of February 28, 2022, we had $231,637 in cash compared to $1,386,472 on August 31, 2021. We expect to incur a minimum of $1,000,000 in expenses during the next twelve months of operations. We estimate that these expenses will be comprised primarily of general expenses including overhead, legal and accounting fees, research and development expenses, and fees payable to outside medical centers for clinical studies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources during the Six Months Ended February 28, 2022 compared to the Six Months Ended February 28, 2021

We used cash in operations of $1,154,322 for the six months ended February 28, 2022 compared to cash used in operations of $1,294,977 for the six months ended February 28, 2021. The negative cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended February 28, 2022 is primarily attributable to the Company's net loss from operations of $2,561,891, share based compensation of $530,662, convertible loan valuation in a total of $678,391, depreciation of $102,411, a decrease in accounts payables and accrued liabilities of $36,47 and an increase of $59,688 in account receivables and prepaid expenses.

We had cash used from investing activities of $513 during the six months ended February 28, 2022, compared to cash flow from investing activities of $645,025 for the six months ended February 28, 2021. The cash used to purchase of fixed assets in the aggregate amount of $513 for the six months ended February 28, 2022, comparing to cash flow from investing activities is due to the Company’s Realization of Wize Pharma Inc shares of $645,968 and its purchase of fixed assets in the aggregate amount of $943 for the six months ended February 28, 2021

We will have to raise funds to pay for our expenses. We may have to borrow money from shareholders, issue equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us. We currently have no arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds for our operations will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

Going Concern

Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying unaudited financial statements regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.

Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

There is no assurance that our operations will be profitable. Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the additional capital necessary to operate either through the generation of revenue or the issuance of additional debt or equity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

See Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on November 29^th, 2021, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The disclosure required under this item is not required to be reported by smaller reporting companies; as such term is defined by Item 503(e) of Regulation S-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the full Audit Committee, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures. The Audit Committee assessed, reviewed and determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as to this quarterly filing. Based on that evaluation, The Board accepted and ratified the findings of the Audit Committee that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as of November 30^th, 2021, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Audit Committee as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 Since our annual report, the Company has maintained an Audit Committee to better review our internal financial reporting. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ending February 28^th, 2022, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Readers are cautioned that our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our control have been detected. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
