EARTH SCIENCE TECH, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1 — Organization and Nature of Operations
Earth Science Tech, Inc. (“ETST” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 23, 2010, and subsequently changed its domicile to the State of Florida on June 27, 2022. As of November 8, 2022, the Company is a holding entity set to acquire companies with its current focus in the health and wellness industry. The Company is presently in compounding pharmaceuticals and telemedicine through its wholly owned subsidiaries RxCompoundStore.com, LLC. (“RxCompound”), Peaks Curative, LLC. (“Peaks”), and Earth Science Foundation, Inc. (“ESF”).
RxCompound is a complete compounding pharmacy. RxCompound is currently licensed to fulfill prescriptions in the states of Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin. RxCompound is in the application process to obtain licenses in the remaining states in which it is not yet licensed to fulfill prescriptions.
Peaks is a telemedicine referral site focused on men’s health. Peaks’ orders are exclusively fulfilled by RxCompound. Patients who order Peaks via monthly subscription receive their refills automatically. Currently, Peaks is focused on Men’s health, and, more specifically, ED. The company intends to expand offerings to include over the counter (“OTC”) (non-prescription) products such as supplements and topicals. The OTC products will be custom manufactured or fulfilled through partnered companies under the Peaks brand and offered worldwide.
ESF is a favored entity of the Company, effectively being a non-profit organization that was incorporated on February 11, 2019, and is structured to accept grants and donations to help those in need of assistance in paying for prescriptions.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries RxCompound, Peaks Curative, and ESF.
The Company’s acquisition of RxCompound was consummated on November 8, 2022, along with Peaks Curative; however, RxCompound completed its PCAOB audit on February 3, 2023 (“Acquisition Date”). Operating results of subsidiaries have been consolidated according to their acquisition dates. No intercompany transactions and balances were identified.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The areas requiring significant estimates are impairment of goodwill, provision for taxation, useful life of depreciable assets, useful life of intangible assets, contingencies, and going concern assessment. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-5 |
Carrying value, recoverability, and impairment of long-lived assets
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC’) 360 to evaluate its long-lived assets. The Company’s long-lived assets, which include property, equipment, and a patent, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives.
The Company considers the following to be some examples of important indicators that may trigger an impairment review: (i) significant under-performance or losses of assets relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the manner or use of assets or in the Company’s overall strategy with respect to the manner or use of the acquired assets or changes in the Company’s overall business strategy; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; (iv) increased competitive pressures; (v) a significant decline in the Company’s stock price for a sustained period of time; and (vi) regulatory changes. The Company evaluates assets for potential impairment indicators at least annually and more frequently upon the occurrence of such events. Impairment of assets, if any, are included in operating expenses.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations. As of September 30, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company held a cash balance of $187,649 and $35,756, respectively.
Related parties
The Company follows ASC 850-10, Related Parties, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20, the related parties include: (a) affiliates of the Company (“Affiliate” means, with respect to any specified person, any other person that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act); (b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825-10-15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; (c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; (d) principal owners of the Company; (e) management of the Company; (f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and (g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450 to account for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. This may result in contingent liabilities that are required to be accrued or disclosed in the financial statements. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
F-6 |
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the Company transfers control of its products to the customer, which typically occurs at a point-in-time, either upon shipment or delivery. Substantially all of the Company’s net revenues relate to products which are transferred to the customer at a point-in-time.
Inventories
The Company has its inventories stated at the lower of cost (on first in, first out (FIFO) method) or market value basis. A reserve is established if necessary to reduce excess or obsolete inventories to their realizable value. The stated cost consists of bulk ingredients used to compound finished products as well as finished products. Reserves, if necessary, are recorded to reduce inventory to market value based on assumptions about consumer demand, current inventory levels and product life cycles for the various inventory items. These assumptions are evaluated annually and are based on the Company’s business plan and from feedback from customers and the product development team.
Cost of Revenues
Components of costs of revenues include product costs, shipping costs to customers, and any inventory adjustments.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are included in costs of revenues.
Research and development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company’s research and development expenses relate to its compounding activities, which consist of the design and development of new products for specific customers, as well as the design and compounding of new or redesigned products for the industry in general.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period, which includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
ASC 740 contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. This first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes.
F-7 |
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has not recorded any unrecognized tax benefits.
Interest and penalties related to liabilities for uncertain tax positions will be charged to interest and operating expenses, respectively. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards (NOL) for income tax purposes of approximately $1,600,281. This loss is allowed to be offset against future income until the year 2039 when the NOL’s will expire. The tax benefits relating to all timing differences have been fully reserved for in the valuation allowance account due to the substantial losses incurred through March 31, 2022. The change in the valuation allowance for the six months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, was an increase of $0 and $0, respectively.
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) imposes limitations on the availability of a company’s net operating losses after certain ownership changes occur. The Section 382 limitation is based upon certain conclusions pertaining to the dates of ownership changes and the value of the Company on the dates of the ownership changes. It was determined that an ownership change occurred in October 2013 and March 2014. The amount of the Company’s net operating losses incurred prior to the ownership changes are limited based on the value of the Company on the date of the ownership change. Management has not determined the amount of net operating losses generated prior to the ownership change available to offset taxable income after the ownership change.
The Company follows ASC 260 to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net results from operations by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per common share calculation is determined by dividing net results from operations by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
For the six months ended September 30, 2023, shares issuable upon conversion of convertible notes were anti-dilutive. As such, their effect has not been included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. No dilutive common shares in the comparative year.
Cash flows reporting
The Company follows ASC 230 to report cash flows. This standard classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by this standard to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports separately information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant this standard.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. In conducting its annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recognized goodwill on the acquisition of its wholly owned subsidiaries; RxCompound and Peaks.
F-8 |
The Company applies the fair value method of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, in accounting for its stock-based compensation. These standards state that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period, if any. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock, stock option and warrant issuance. The determination of the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a few complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price, volatility over the term of the awards, actual employee exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The company has no stock-based commitments outstanding as of September 30, 2023, and 2022.
Fair Value
FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) establishes a framework for all fair value measurements and expands disclosures related to fair value measurement and developments. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 — Quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets or observable inputs;
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data; and
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable and other liabilities, accrued expenses and settlement payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.
The fair value of the Company’s debt approximated the carrying value of the Company’s debt as of September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022. Factors that the Company considered when estimating the fair value of its debt included market conditions, liquidity levels in the private placement market, variability in pricing from multiple lenders and terms of debt.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation on equipment is charged using a straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 5 years.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
We have considered the impact of the following pronouncements:
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, which permits an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that exist or expire before the Company’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. On May 20, 2020, the FASB voted to delay implementing the new lease standard for non-public organizations, making their new effective date the fiscal year starting after Dec. 15, 2021. The Company adopted this transition provision and provided necessary disclosures.
F-9 |
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements”, which will improve the effectiveness of disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The standard removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements, and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (for “emerging growth companies” beginning after December 15, 2020). The Company has adopted this standard effective from January 1, 2021, and the adoption of this standard did not have any significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The FASB recently issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470- 20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, to reduce complexity in applying GAAP to certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The guidance in ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock by removing the existing guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt: Debt with Conversion and Other Options, which requires entities to account for beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features in equity, separately from the host convertible debt or preferred stock. The guidance in ASC 470-20 applies to convertible instruments for which the embedded conversion features are not required to be bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as derivatives. In addition, the amendments revise the scope exception from derivative accounting in ASC 815-40 for freestanding financial instruments and embedded features that are both indexed to the issuer’s own stock and classified in stockholders’ equity, by removing certain criteria required for equity classification. These amendments are expected to result in more freestanding financial instruments qualifying for equity classification (and, therefore, not accounted for as derivatives), as well as fewer embedded features requiring separate accounting from the host contract. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 further revise the guidance in ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, to require entities to calculate diluted earnings per share (EPS) for convertible instruments by using the if-converted method. In addition, entities must presume share settlement for purposes of calculating diluted EPS when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares. The amendments in ASU 2020-06 are effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted (for “emerging growth companies” beginning after December 15, 2023). The Company has assessed the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. No material adjustments were required.
Update ASU 2021-10- Government Assistance (Topic 832)
In November 2021, the FASB issued guidance which requires business entities to disclose information about certain government assistance they receive. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities within their scope for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early application of the amendments is permitted. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update either (1) prospectively to all transactions within the scope of the amendments that are reflected in financial statements at the date of initial application and new transactions that are entered into after the date of initial application or (2) retrospectively to those transactions. We do not expect adoption of this standard to result in additional disclosures within our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of Peaks telemedicine property, the Company’s web properties and goodwill recognized by RxCompound in stand-alone Financial Statements under the push down approach. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the estimated useful life of five years and goodwill is amortized over the estimated life of 10 years. These assets are evaluated for impairment at least on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

Reclassification
No restatement was made in comparative Consolidated Financial Statements. However, Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Note 3 — Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. On September 30, 2023, the Company had negative working capital, an accumulated deficit of $30,148,111. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company as of November 8, 2022, became a holding entity set to acquire companies with its recent two acquisitions, RxCompound and Peaks both operating in the health and wellness industry. The Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to pay its obligations and support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues may provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to generate sufficient revenues by acquiring companies and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenues.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 4 — Related Party Balances and Transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Transactions with related parties have been disclosed in debt, acquisition, and officer’s compensation notes. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had no related party balances.
Note 5 — Stockholders’ Equity
During the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the Company issued and restricted common shares - see ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company did not issue any unrestricted common shares.
Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
From time to time and in the course of business, we may become involved in various legal proceedings seeking monetary damages and other relief. The amount of the ultimate liability, if any, from such claims cannot be determined. As of the date hereof, there are no legal claims currently pending or, to our knowledge, threatened against us or any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our properties that, in the opinion of our management, would be likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Employment and Consulting Agreements
The Company has entered into amended employment agreements with the current CEO, Giorgio R. Saumat, and President, Mario G. Tabraue. The amended term of the employment agreements will commence October 1, 2023, for a term of twelve months. The Executive compensation is 21% and 10.5% of monthly revenue, respectively. Compensation is payable the first day of the month for the preceding month’s revenue so long as the company increases its cash position quarter over quarter. In the event the Company does not increase its cash position, the arrangement must be renegotiated, and there will be no payment at the beginning of the new quarter. The agreements include a back pay waiver and the Executive must waive all rights to any and all compensation, including back pay, for any and all work done on behalf of the Company prior to September 30, 2023.

Weighted average remaining term was 4.4 years (approx.) and weighted average discount rate was 7%.
Note 8 — Leases
The Company treats a contract as a lease when the contract conveys the right to use a physically distinct asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, or the Company directs the use of the asset and obtains substantially all the economic benefits of the asset. These leases are recorded as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease obligation liabilities for leases with terms greater than 12 months. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the entirety of the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make payments over the life of the lease. A ROU asset and a lease liability are recognized at commencement of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments over the life of the lease. Initial direct costs are included as part of the ROU asset upon commencement of the lease. Since the interest rate implicit in a lease is generally not readily determinable for the operating leases, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease term to obtain an asset of similar value.
The Company reviews the impairment of ROU assets consistent with the approach applied for the Company’s other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the recoverability of long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company’s ability to recover the carrying value of the asset from the expected undiscounted future pre-tax cash flows of the related operations. The Company elected the practical expedient to exclude short-term leases (leases with original terms of 12 months or less) from ROU asset and lease liability accounts.
RxCompoundStore.com, LLC entered into a lease arrangement on May 26, 2022, whereby the subsidiary obtained the possession of the property located at 8950 SW 74th Court Suite 101, Miami, FL, 33156. The lease requires monthly payments of $7,453.37 for a term of 36-months plus the single lump sum payment of $40,000 upon execution in June 2022. The facility consists of two offices, a sterile compounding cleanroom, a cooking room, a reception area, a fulfillment area, and storage for inventory. The lease agreement does not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants but does contain a 3-year renewal option. The Company treated this lease arrangement as an operating lease and recognized right of use asset and lease liability accordingly.

Legal fees totaled $8,939 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $1,261 from $10,200 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Professional fees, exclusive of legal fees, totaled $398,687 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $394,687 from $4,000 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022. This increase is due to RxCompound’s hiring consultants to assist in creating digital infrastructure to support marketing and order fulfillment functions as well as upgrading financial reporting capabilities.
Costs and Expenses - Costs of sales include the costs of manufacturing, packaging, warehousing, and shipping our products. As we develop and release additional products, we expect our costs of sales to increase.
General and administrative expenses, inclusive of research and development, increased from $12,944 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, to $93,963 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023. This increase is due to hiring more employees to facilitate the Company’s growing demand and optimize efficiency.
We are a smaller reporting company, as defined by 17 CFR § 229.10(f)(1). We do not consider the impact of inflation and changing prices as having a material effect on our net sales and revenues and on income from our operations for the previous two years or from continuing operations going forward.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $34,911for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared with $7,182 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use Adjusted EBITDA internally to evaluate our performance and make financial and operational decisions that are presented in a manner that adjusts from their equivalent GAAP measures or that supplements the information provided by our GAAP measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by us as EBITDA (net income (loss) plus depreciation expense, amortization expense, interest and income tax expense, minus income tax benefit), further adjusted to exclude certain non-cash expenses and other adjustments as set forth below. We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it more clearly highlights trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures, since Adjusted EBITDA eliminates from our results specific financial items that have less bearing on our core operating performance.
We use Adjusted EBITDA in communicating certain aspects of our results and performance, including in this Quarterly Report, and believe that Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed in conjunction with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, can provide investors with greater transparency and a greater understanding of factors affecting our financial condition and results of operations than GAAP measures alone. In addition, we believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in making period-to-period comparison of results because the adjustments to GAAP are not reflective of our core business performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with, or as an alternative to, GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to review the GAAP financial measures included in this Quarterly Report, including our consolidated financial statements, to aid in their analysis and understanding of our performance and in making comparisons.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2023, was $162,003 as compared to $375,737 used in the operating activities for the prior year period. The increase in cash flows from the prior year period is primarily driven by increased profitability and a decrease in cash payments related to litigation settlement agreements.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Future Financing
As of September 30, 2023, the Company does not need any additional financing given the revenue being generated through the sales of RxCompound. If needed for expansion, the Company will seek financing with private investors through standard notes, discounted registered stock, and facilitated debt.
The Company’s Plan of Operation for the Next Twelve Months
The Company’s auditors have expressed doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in part, because on September 30, 2023, the Company had negative working capital and an accumulated deficit of $30,148,111.
The Company’s current liabilities have historically exceeded the Company’s Current Assets; and as of September 30, 2023, that trend has ended with the Company’s total assets totaling $3,041,344 exceeding the Company’s liabilities of $1,107,704 by $1,933,640. In addition, the Company during the six months ended September 30, 2023, had product sales of $2,147,654 and a gross profit of $1,330,263, representing a gross margin of 61.94%. The revenue increase is due to the acquisition of RxCompound and Peaks along with the increase in sales. This was primarily due to RxCompound’s completion of the integration of all product categories into its business, including hazardous hormonal creams and sterile injectable prescriptions. The Company recorded its highest revenue and profit generated month in September 2023. RxCompound plans to continue obtaining more accounts while expanding the states approved to fill with the capacity to compound injectables. Furthermore, the Company has been working on expanding its intellectual properties with unique platforms compared to Peaks and service providers that will further increase the Company’s assets and revenue. With this trend, the Company will have the ability to continue operating without having the need to raise capital unless needed for acquisitions or expansion.

Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
