(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Nascent Biotech, Inc. (“Nascent” or the “Company””) was incorporated on March 3, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is actively developing its primary asset Pritumumab for the treatment of brain cancer and pancreatic cancer. Nascent is also actively researching other cancers that have a high probability of benefiting from the therapeutic effects of Pritumumab because they share a common target. Pritumumab has shown to be very effective at low doses in previous clinical studies in Japan. Nascent is a pre-clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that focuses on biologic drug candidates that are preparing for initial clinical testing for the treatment of brain and pancreatic cancer.

On March 31, 2017 the Company filed its IND submission with the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for clearance to begin Phase I clinical trials. The Company is in the process of responding to additional data requests from the FDA requiring additional testing of the product and additional materials to answer specific questions from the FDA.

On April 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASC 606 (Revenue From Contracts with Customers) which is effective for annual and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2017. As the Company has no revenue during this period there is no impact from adopting the disclosure.

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 months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 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, 2018. 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.

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 had incurred net losses since inception until the year ended March 31, 2017 in which the Company posted net income from a license sale to a pharmaceutical company in China. The Company has a source of revenue to cover its operating costs, however the source of revenue is not predictable, and the Company will incur additional expenses in the future developing their product. These factors raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company engages in research and development activities that must be satisfied in cash secured through outside funding. The Company may 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. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 because 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 (“Nascent” or the “Company”) was incorporated on March 3, 2014 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is actively developing its primary asset Pritumumab for the treatment of brain cancer and pancreatic cancer. Nascent is also actively researching other cancers that have a high probability of benefiting from the therapeutic effects of Pritumumab because they share a common target. Pritumumab has shown to be very effective at low doses in previous clinical studies in Japan.

Nascent is a pre-clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company focuses 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. Nascent currently own the license rights to a drug candidate, pritumumab, which the Company is developing for the treatment of brain cancer and pancreatic cancer both of which we hold orphan drug status granted by the FDA.

Overview

The Company is focused on developing pritumumab for the treatment of patients with brain cancer malignancies such as gliomas and astrocytomas. Pritumumab is a monoclonal antibody that has been tested on 249 brain cancer patients and reviewed by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 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 (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 done by Japan Pharmaceutical Development Company-a pharmaceutical contract manufacturing company, 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 suspended. A concern 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. Current therapeutic strategies for brain cancer include the use of the chemotherapy, surgical intervention or radiation therapy. Because these treatments have marginal outcomes there exists a need to develop safer, more effective drugs. Temodar-the most commonly used Chemotherapeutic drug used to treat brain cancer, is attributed to only median rates of survival and many brain tumors are eligible for surgery. Moreover, even when removed, most 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. Glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer that constitutes 42% of ALL brain and other nervous system cancers, has survival rates of 36.5% at 1 year and 5% at 5 years. (SEER Registry Data, September 15^th, 2016 (Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States).

The Company has submitted its IND information to the FDA and is now responding to questions from the IND to get clearance.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded zero of revenue during the three month periods ended June 30, 2018,and 2017,respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the three 2017 month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $327,788 compared to $266,549 in 2017, respectively. This increase in expenses for the three 2017 months ended June 30, 2018 over the same period in 2017 was due to an increase in cost for IND filing of the Company in 2018.

Research and development expenses for the three 2017 month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $111,939 compared to $32,000 in the same period in 2017, respectively. This increase in expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 over the same period in 2017 reflected increased testing required in the filing of the IND with the FDA.

Total other income incurred in the three 2017 month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $8, compared to other income of 365 in the same period in 2017, respectively. Change in fair value derivative liability showed a gain of $346 for the three months period in 2017 compared to zero for the three months period in 2018.

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2018, our net loss was $439,719 compared to a net loss of $298,184 for the same period in 2017. The difference between the periods in 2018 and 2017 relates to higher research and development costs along with higher general and administrative costs preparing the IND re submission.

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 must raise approximately $10-15 million to complete its Phase I and Phase II clinical studies.

There are no agreements or understandings about future loans by or with the officers, directors, principals, affiliates, or shareholders of the Company. The Company will continue to raise outside capital through loans, equity sales and possible licensing agreements. These factors raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

At June 30, 2018, the Company had negative working capital of $332,068. Current assets consist of cash of $49,141. Current liabilities as of the same date were $381,209 consisting of accounts payable of which approximately $200,000 was cost overrun on the IND submission from questions asked and further tests required by the FDA from our March 31, 2018 submission.

Net cash used in operating activities in the three month period ended June 30, 2018 was $180,889 compared to net cash used of $208,802 in the same period in 2017. The variance between the same periods in 2018 and 2017 relates mainly change in accounts payable of $98,788 in 2017.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended June 30, 2018 was $113,036 compared to $233,214 in the same period in 2017. Cash provided was a result of the conversion of warrants to common stock of $18,036 and from the sale of common stock of $95,000 for the three months period in 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had total assets of $49,141 and total liabilities of $381,209. Stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2018 was $332,068. This compares to a stockholders’ deficit of $86,379 as of March 31, 2018. Liabilities increased in 2018 due mainly to an increase in accounts payable during this period versus the same period in 2017.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING:

Our current capital needs are estimated to be approximately $10-15 million. This will take us through Phase I/II clinical trials which are scheduled to begin in the third calendar quarter of 2018.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no off-balance sheet arrangements or guarantees of third party obligations at June 30, 2018.

Inflation

We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations since inception.

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 June 30, 2018, 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 June 30, 2018, 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 can 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

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
