NOTE 2- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on March 31.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015 In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented herein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarters or for an entire year.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company, as shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, has a working capital deficit of $1,680,182 as December 31, 2015 and has incurred net losses since inception. The Company does not have a source of revenue to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will engage in research and development activities that must be satisfied in cash secured through outside funding. The Company will offer noncash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing it does obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses it may incur, it may substantially curtail or terminate its operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

 

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On September 25, 2015, the Company paid an accounts payable of $4,672 to a former Officer and Director. As of December 31, 2015 the balance due was zero.

 

On September 1, 2015 the Company entered into five year employment contracts with three of its officers and directors. Under the terms of the agreements the Company issued shares of common stock to the officers and directors equaling 11% of the outstanding shares of the Company as of the date of the contracts. As additional future shares are issued, the officers and directors are entitled to additional shares so their aggregate ownership percentage remains at 11% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The following table sets forth the shares earned under these contracts during the nine months ended December 31, 2015:

NOTE 5 – LICENSE LIABILITY

 

The Company holds a license from a third party for certain patents and related material related to Pritumumab. The license allows the Company to develop, manufacture and sell its product worldwide using the patents under the licenses agreement. The license was entered into by Nascent Biologics, Inc. in March 2009 granting rights to the development and certain patents. The license was granted for total consideration of $2,000,000, to be paid in six installment of $300,000 plus a final payment of $200,000 on January 1, 2016. In addition, the license provides the licensor with a royalty of 2% on the sales of the developed product, up to $10,000,000 in sales, and thereafter, a royalty of 1% for all sales over $10,000,000. Prior to the acquisition by the Company, Nascent Biologics allowed 10 patents to expire based on their assessment of the patents and their value relating to the Company's development of its product. Nascent Biologics and the licensor amended the license agreement requiring payments of $333,000 per year from January 1, 2012 through January 1, 2015. Such payments were not made by Nascent Biologic or the Company after the acquisition of Nascent Biologic.

  

On September 21, 2015 the Company and the licensor amended their agreement where the licensor received a $30,000 cash payment and will receive $1,000 per month for 28 months plus a $5,000 additional payment on the 28th month. In addition the licensor received 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock, plus will receive 1% of net sales of the Company's product up to $1,000,000 in royalties. The fair value of the stock issued was determined to be $150,000 and the transaction resulted in a remaining liability as of December 31, 2015 of $29,000 to be paid over 24 months and a gain on settlement of license agreement liability of $1,573,650.

 

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

 

On May 20, 2014 the Company granted 13,317 common stock warrants for services. The warrants vest immediately, are exercisable at $1.00 per share and expire on May 21, 2017. The Company determined that the warrants were not afforded equity classification because the warrants are not considered to be indexed to the Company's own stock due to the anti-dilution provision. Accordingly, the warrants are treated as a derivative liability and are carried at fair value. The Company estimated the fair value of these derivative warrants at each balance sheet date and the changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the statement of operations under the caption "loss on change in fair value of derivative liability" until such time as the derivative warrants are exercised or expire. The Company used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability as of the date of issuance and as of December 31, 2015 using the following key inputs: market price of the Company's common stock $0.10 to $1.51 per share, volatility of 250% and discount rate of 0.13%. The fair value of the derivative liability was determined to be $6,330 as of March 31, 2015 and $1,685 as of December 31, 2015 which resulted in a gain on the change in fair value of derivative liability of $4,645 for the nine months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and shareholder loans. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

 

 
8
 

  

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

 

Level 1 - Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Inputs reflecting management's best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

  

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015:

NOTE 11 – MATERIALS HELD FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT WITH ALTERNATIVE FUTURE ALTERNATIVE USE

 

During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company, through contract manufacturing incurred costs related to the production of 424 grams of Pritumumab, a human monoclonal antibody. The product is being produced for use in research and development. In addition to the use in the brain cancer clinical trials, the Company has also determined the Pritumumab can be used in its current state for pancreatic, breast and lung cancer trials, none of which have commenced. Due to the existence of these alternative future uses, the Company has capitalized the cost of these materials not expected to be used in the brain cancer trials. Of the 424 grams being produced, 110 grams is expected to be used in the brain cancer trials which have already been planned, but have not commenced. The cost of the 110 grams was expensed as research and development during the year ended March 31, 2015. The amount capitalized by the Company as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015 is $827,964 associated with 313 grams. These capitalized costs will be expensed as research and development as the materials are consumed. As of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the production of the 424 grams was not yet complete. The Company will obtain ownership of the Pritumumab upon payment of all outstanding payables owed to the manufacturer. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a payable balance of $1,295,813 owed to the manufacturer related to the production of the Pritumumab and other services provided. The Company made payment arrangements on the outstanding invoices with the manufacture but was unable to meet the terms of payment. The Company is in default on the payment of these outstanding invoices.

 

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 7, 2016 the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock to one entity at $0.17 per share with a value of $16,500 for service.

 

On January 12, 2016 the Company entered into a letter of intent with a China based company to license the production and sales of Pritumumab in mainland China. Under the letter of intent the agreement requires a definitive agreement to be executed plus the approval of the GEPx line by the cFDA prior to any transfer of the cell line to the China Company.

 

During February, 2016 an officer and director of the Company advanced to the Company $6,800. The advance is demand and bears no interest.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERTIONS

 

This report contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth on the forward looking statements as a result of the risks set forth in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, general economic conditions, and changes in the assumptions used in making such forward looking statements.

 

NASCENT BIOTECH INC., a Nevada corporation ("Nascent" or the "Company") was originally incorporated on May 13, 2009 as "Jin-En International Group Holding Company" to operate an online retail fur boutique for the Chinese market. In July, 2014, Jin-En entered into an Exchange Agreement with an entity formerly known as Nascent Biotech, Inc., a Nevada corporation which is now known as Nascent Biologics, Inc. ("Biologics"). As part of the Exchange Agreement, Jin-En changed its name to "Nascent Biotech Inc." and the entity formerly known as "Nascent Biotech, Inc.", changed its name to Nascent Biologics, Inc. and became the Company's wholly owned subsidiary. Articles of Exchange were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State describing this transaction. The shareholders of Biologics exchanged their shares in Biologics for shares in Jin-En on a one-to-one ratio, for a total issuance by Jin-En to the Biologics shareholders of an aggregate of 7,500,200 shares. As part of the transaction, the largest Jin-En shareholder returned 15,000,000 shares of Jin-En common shares for cancellation and those shares were returned to the treasury.

 

Overview

 

We are a development stage biopharmaceutical company that develops monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of various forms of cancer. We focus on biologic drug candidates that are undergoing or have already completed initial clinical testing for the treatment of cancer and then seek to further develop those drug candidates for commercial use. We currently own the license rights to a drug candidate, pritumumab which we are developing initially for the treatment of brain cancer patients, as well as metastatic lung cancer patients, and metastatic breast cancer patients.

 

We are initially primarily focused on developing pritumumab for the treatment of patients with brain cancer malignancies such as glioma and astrocytoma. Pritumumab is a monoclonal antibody that has been tested in Ministry of Health and Welfare approved clinical studies in 249 human brain cancer patients in the nation of Japan. The objective of the Phase I and Phase II human clinical trial was to determine the safety of pritumumab in humans and its efficacy in eliminating tumors or reducing tumor size in patients with brain cancer. These clinical trials were conducted at 22 clinical sites within Japan during a 14-year time period (1988 to 2002). Except for 17 patients that were treated for a period of four weeks in a Phase I (safety) study (1mg per week dosage), all patients were dosed at 1 mg, either once or twice per week, for 24 weeks, and were evaluated for both safety and efficacy. The sponsor of those trials was the Hagiwara Institute of Health (HIH). Manufacturing of pritumumab was conducted by the Japanese contract research organization, Japan Pharmaceutical Development, and all pre-clinical development work was performed at HIH. At the end of the Phase II trial, the HIH was approved for expanded Phase III trials in humans; however, the founder of HIH passed away and the clinical development of pritumumab was abandoned. An issue at that time was the ability to manufacture enough pritumumab to continue clinical trials. The product has never been approved for sale in Japan or elsewhere. Currently, therapeutic strategies, such as the use of the chemotherapy drug Temodar, or surgical strategies, are used for the treatment of this cancer. However, there still exists a huge need in the marketplace to develop safer, more effective drugs as Temodar is attributed to only median rates of survival and many brain tumors are eligible for surgery. Moreover, even when removed, many brain tumors come back within one year post-operation. Today, with current standards of care, less than 60% of all brain cancer patients will live past the first year after diagnosis, and less than 35% of patients will live to five years. For glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer that constitutes 42% of ALL brain and other nervous system cancers, the 1 and 5 year survival rates are 36.5% and 5.0%, respectively. Survival rates are taken from the latest SEER Registry Data, published on June 15th, 2015 (Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States).

Results of Operations

 

The Company recorded no revenue during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $225,196 and $4,179,284 compared to $104,632 and 239,682 in 2014, respectively. This increase in expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 over the same period in 2014 was due mainly to the issuance of stock for stock-based compensation of $3,314,921 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2015.

  

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $40,480 and $667,902 compared to $$549,915 and $991,245 in 2014, respectively. This decrease in expenses for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2015 over the same period in 2014 reflected the completion of toxically tests and end of the production run for the product to be used in the clinical studies estimated to commence in the first calendar quarter of 2016.

 

Total other expense incurred in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 was $73,549 and $130,731, compared to other expense of $803 and $6,273 in the same periods in 2014. The major change between 2015 and 2014 was the interest expense of $75,102 and $135,379 in 2015 compared to interest expense of $794 and $1,227 in the same periods in 2014. Change in fair value derivative liability showed a gain of $1,551, and $4,645 for the three and nine months period in 2015 compared to a loss of fair value of $67 and $5,115 for the three and nine months periods in 2014.

 

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015, our net loss was $339,225 and $3,404,267 compared to a net loss of $655,350 and $1,215,516 for the same periods in 2014. The decrease for the three months in 2015 resulted from lower research and development costs in 2015 over 2014 and for the nine months the higher loss was a is a direct result of the stock based compensation as mentioned in the paragraph above about general and administrative costs.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company's liquidity and capital is dependent on the capital it can raise to continue the Company's development and testing of its product. The Company projects it has significant cash to continue its present operations through December, 2015.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of December 31, 2014 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014. Such conclusion reflects the identification of material weakness as follows: (1) lack of accounting proficiency of our chief executive officer who is our sole officer and our principal accounting officer which has resulted in a reliance on part-time outside consultants to perform substantially all of our accounting functions, (2) a lack of adequate segregation of duties and necessary corporate accounting resources in our financial reporting process and accounting function, and (3) lack of control procedures that include multiple levels of review.  Until we are able to remedy these material weaknesses, we have engaged third party consultants and accounting firm to assist with financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
