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 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 phase 1 clinical trial 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 United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clearance to begin Phase I clinical trials. On December 7, 2018, the Company received a letter from the FDA allowing it to use a specific lot of drug substance to begin phase 1 clinical trials. On March 15, 2021, the Company opened phase1 clinical trials. As of June 30, 2023 the Company had completed the phase 1 clinical trials and submitted to the FDA for clearance to begin phase 2 clinical trials. (See Note 12- Subsequent Events)

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, 2023 and 2022 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, 2023. 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.

Basis of Presentation

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted loss per share (“EPS”) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive common shares if their effect is antidilutive.

We have identified the conversion features of certain of our convertible notes payable as derivatives. We estimate the fair value of the derivatives using the Black-Scholes pricing model. We estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities at the inception of the financial instruments, at the date of conversions to equity and at each reporting date, recording a derivative liability, debt discount, and a gain or loss on change in derivative liabilities as applicable. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price volatility and variable conversion prices based on market prices as defined in the respective agreements. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period and to management's judgment; therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Revenue recognition

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606. Rather, the amendments in this Update clarify the following two aspects of Topic 606: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. Topic 606 includes implementation guidance on (a) contracts with customers to transfer goods and services in exchange for consideration and (b) determining whether an entity’s promise to grant a license provides a customer with either a right to use the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied at a point in time) or a right to access the entity’s intellectual property (which is satisfied over time). The amendments are intended to render more detailed implementation guidance with the expectation to reduce the degree of judgement necessary to comply with Topic 606.

ASC Topic 606 prescribes a new five-step model entities should follow in order to recognize revenue in accordance with the core principle. These five steps are:

The Company implemented the transition using the modified retrospective method of transition. The funds are not earned on milestones that have not been reached per the contract. Based on the cut off treatment of the recognition of revenue per the milestones specific to the license agreements, the Company has determined that there are no adjustments in the value of the revenue recognized from these contracts.

The Company has one revenue stream, which are the milestone payments of the license agreement with BioRay Pharmaceutical which is not earned or billed until the milestone per the agreement is met. During the three months period ended June 30, 2023, no revenue was received.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivables are carried at face value less any provisions for uncollectible amounts. Accounts receivable are receivables from a license agreement. No allowance for bad debt was considered necessary for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, the Company did not have any accounts receivable.

Derivative debt

In August 2020, the FASB 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). The new ASU eliminates the beneficial conversion and cash conversion accounting models for convertible instruments and supersedes the respective guidance within ASC 470-20 and ASC 740-10-55-51. With the elimination of the cash conversion and beneficial conversion feature models, more instruments will be accounted for as a single instrument rather than having their proceeds allocated between liability and equity accounting units.

The amendments in the ASU are effective for public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of an entity’s annual fiscal year, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

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 has a working capital deficit and has incurred losses from operations. The Company has no revenue to cover its operating costs 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.

NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

On September 1, 2015, the Company entered five-year employment contracts with three of its officers and directors. One of the officers and director resigned as of September 30, 2020. 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 initially remained at 11% (undated to 18% as noted below) of the outstanding shares of the Company. The agreements were amended on September 1, 2020, as noted below, and the table reflects the amendment to these agreements. The following table sets forth the shares earned under these contracts for the two active officers as of June 30, 2023:

On September 1, 2020, the Company entered five-year compensation agreements with two of its officers and directors. Under the terms of the agreements the Company issued shares of common stock to the two senior officers equaling 18% of the outstanding shares of the Company as additional future shares are issued. The officers are entitled to additional future shares, so their aggregate ownership percentage remains at 18% of the future outstanding shares of the Company.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, two officers and a director were issued 2,235,250 shares of common stock with a value of $111,763 for service.

The following sets forth the options granted and outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2023:

The weighted average remaining life and intrinsic value of the options as of June 30, 2023, was 3.56 years and zero, respectively.

NOTE 7 – WARRANTS

During the year ended March 31, 2021 the Company issued 3,700,000 warrants and  used the Black Scholes Pricing model to estimate the fair value of the warrants as of grant date, using the following key inputs: market prices of the Company’s common stock at dates of grant between $0.08-0.11 per share, conversion price of $0.15, volatility of 312.5%-314.49% and discount rate of 0.14-0.16%. Based on the fair value of the common stock of $437,000 and  value of the warrants of $349,605 the fair value of the warrants was calculated to be 41% of the total value or $303,000. During the year ended March 31, 2021 the valuation resulted in a deemed dividend from the down round calculation of $555,000. As of June 30, 2022  3,700,000 warrants were converted into 3,700,000 shares of common stock for cash at a value for $148,000.

On April 7, 2022,the Company issued 500,000 warrants as part of a convertible note issued the same date. The Company used the Black Scholes Pricing model to estimate the fair value of the warrants as of grant date using the following key inputs; market prices of the Company’s stock at date of grant  of $0.08 per share, conversion price of $0.12 per share, volatility of 132% and discount of 1.78%. The fair value of the warrants were calculated to be $ 26,000 and was used to allocate the proceeds to the two elements based on the relative fair value of the debt instruments without the warrants and of the warrants at the time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants of $21,336 is accounted for as paid in capital.

The weighted average remaining life and intrinsic value of the warrants as of June 30, 2023 was:

As of June 30, 2023 there were 1,000,000 warrants outstanding.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On August 31, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for convertible debentures totaling $1,500,000. The first $500,000 was paid at closing with the second $500,000 paid on September 20, 2022, upon filing of an S-1 Registration, and the third $500,000 paid on September 27, 2022, upon the S-1 becoming effective. Each debenture matures one year from date of issuance. The interest rate for each debenture is six percent (6%) per annum and the Debenture may be converted at the lesser of $0.30 per share or eighty percent (80%) of the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock for ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date and carried an original discount of 3% of the debenture face value. The Company also issued a warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of two years, expiring on August 30, 2024, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. As part of the agreement the Company filed an S-1 registration statement registering the underlying common shares for the debenture conversion and the warrants.

The initial derivatives were calculated for each debenture as follows:

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 8,205,263 shares of common stock for the conversion of $300,000 of the convertible note plus $17,556 of accrued interest leaving a balance of $400,000 plus accrued interest.

On September 2, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement with an unrelated third party for convertible debentures totaling $500,000. The first $250,000 was paid at closing with the second $250,000 to be paid upon the S-1 becoming effective. Each debenture matures one year from date of issuance. The interest rate for each debenture is six percent (6%) per annum and the Debenture may be converted at the lesser of $0.30 per share or eighty percent (80%) of the lowest VWAP of the Company’s common stock for ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion date and carried an original discount of 3% of the debenture face value. The Company also issued a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for a period of two years, expiring on August 30, 2024, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share. As part of the agreement the Company filed an S-1 registration statement registering the underlying common shares for the debenture conversion and the warrants. The initial derivative was calculated using risk free interest of 3.47%, volatility of 137% and expected life of 1 year. As of June 30, 2023 the funds for the second debenture had not been received. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued 1,331,919 shares of common stock for the conversion of $45,000 of the convertible note plus $5,240 of accrued interest leaving a balance of $5,000 plus accrued interest.

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 9,537,182 shares of common stock with a value of $367,795 for the conversion of $345,000 of convertible note and $22,795 in interest, leaving a balance due of $405,000 of convertible notes plus accrued interest.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES

As defined in (Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 820), fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilized the market data of similar entities in its industry or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

As June 30, 2022, the Company believes the amounts reported for cash, payables, accrued liabilities and amounts due to related parties approximate their fair values, due to the nature or duration of these instruments.

The following table represents the change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities during the quarter  ended June 30, 2022:

The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities at June 30, 2023 was calculated using the American Binomial Lattice pricing model with the following assumptions:

NOTE 10 –COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On September 30, 2016, the Company entered a cell line sales agreement with the product manufacturer. Under the terms of the agreement the Company is obligated to make future payments based on the milestones of its achievements. These future payments may be as followed;

As of June 30, 2023 the outstanding balance was $59,390.

On March 9, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company adapted an expense bonus program. Under the program, if an acquisition, merger or change in control is affected, 10% of the value of the transaction will be allocated to pay the expenses of the transaction including but not limited to legal, accounting, transfer fees and other miscellaneous expense. The balance of the fund after expenses will be allocated 20% to directors and 80% to officers and employees of the Company as allocated by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Board of Directors.

NOTE 11- LICENSE AGREEMENT

On March 31, 2021, the Company issued a license agreement for US $5,000,000 to BioRay Pharmaceutical Co, LTD, (Licensee) licensing Pritumumab internationally with the exclusion of North and Central America and the Caribbean Islands. Under the terms of the agreement the Company received $250,000 upon signing of the agreement plus $750,000 with the start of the phase 1 clinical trials , which started in March 2021. In addition, the Company received $750,000 upon the initial patient enrolled at the dosage level of 8.0 mg/kg. Further payment of $2,500,000 was to be received when the FDA approves the phase 2 clinical trials and $750,000 was to receive when the phase 2 clinical trials begin. Upon commercialization by the Licensee, the Company was to receive a 9% royalty on net sales for 20 years. On June 6, 2023 the Company and BioRay mutually agreed to terminate the license agreement, at no cost to either party, returning the worldwide rights to the Company.

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 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.

Nascent is a phase 2 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 is developing for the treatment of brain cancer and pancreatic cancer both of which we hold orphan drug status granted by the FDA. Nascent has completed phase 1 clinical trials and has submitted to the FDA to begin to begin phase 2 clinical trials. On August 8, 2023, The Company received clearance to begin phase 2 clinical trials.

In addition, Nascent, in collaboration with academic and corporate partners, has asserted the potential for pritumumab to be involved as both a treatment and a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus (responsible for COVID-19).

Overview

The Company is focused on developing pritumumab for the treatment of patients with brain cancer malignancies such as gliomas and astrocytomas. 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).

On March 31, 2017, the Company filed its IND submission with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for clearance to begin Phase I clinical trials. On December 7, 2018, the Company received a letter from the FDA allowing it to use a specific lot of drug substance to begin phase 1 clinical trials. The Company commenced human clinical trials with a major oncology hospital for brain cancer, both primary and metastatic. Phase1 clinical trials has been  completed and clearance has been received to begin phase 2 Clinical trials.

In May of 2020, Nascent announced a research collaboration to study, both in vitro and in vivo (mouse models), the ability of pritumumab to block the SARS-Cov-2 virus from infecting cells. This notion has been raised by a published article in the scientific literature (Yu et al. Journal of Biomedical Science (2016) 23:14 DOI 10.1186/s12929-016-0234-7), which specifically mentioned cell surface vimentin (the protein to which pritumumab binds selectively) as a potential target in the treatment of conditions related to coronaviruses. These preliminary studies are on-going. Further, in May of 2020, Nascent announced a joint collaboration with Manhattan BioSolutions, Inc (NY, NY) to employ Manhattan’s platform, based on the recombinant Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, but engineered to target SARS-CoV-2. BCG is a live non-pathogenic bacterium that stimulates diverse innate and adaptive immune responses and is well-known for its long safety track record as a tuberculosis vaccine. Thus, with these collaborations, Nascent is investigating the potential utility of pritumumab as both a treatment for COVID-19 and a preventive vaccine for COVID-19.

Results of Operations

The Company recorded zero of revenue during the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 was $87,750 compared to $109,703 for the period ended June 30, 2022. Consulting expense for the three months periods ending June 30, 2023 was $229,362 compared to $423,150 for the same period in 2022. This decrease in expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 over the same period in 2022 was due primarily to decreased consulting fee of $193,778 from the pricing of the shares issued to management for maintaining the percentage of ownership per their agreements. The was partially offset by product filling cost of $136,507 for the three months period ended June 30, 2023 verse none in the same period in 2022.

Research and development expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 was $25,910 compared to $56,890 in the same period in 2022. Clinical trials costs were $32,339 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 with $29,936 in the same period in 2023. Phase 1 clinical trials ended during the period ended in March 2023 so any further costs would be minimal until we start the phase 2 clinical trials.

Total other expense incurred in the three month periods ended June 30, 2023 was $28,250, compared to other expense of $680,197 in the same period in 2022. Other expense in 2023 consisted of interest expense of $237,716 gain in debt settlement of $50,000 and gain on the change of fair value of $159,444. Other expenses in the three months period ended June 30, 2022 consisted of change in fair value of $527,584, interest expense of $69,950 and original note discount of $82,666.

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2023, our net loss was $540,224 compared to a net loss of $1,299,876 for the same periods in 2022. The difference between the periods was due primarily to a net positive change in fair value in the three months period ended June 30, 2023 of $687,028 from the same period in 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s liquidity and capital is dependent on the capital it can raise to continue the Company’s testing and clinical trials of its product. The Company projects it must raise approximately $15-20 million to complete its 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, 2023, the Company had  negative working capital of $1,155,034. Current assets consist of cash of $9,480 and prepaid of $69,442 with  current  liabilities $1,233,956 consisting of accounts payable and accrued expense  of $644,260, convertible notes, net of discount of $276,972, plus derivative liability of $312,724. 

Net cash used in operating activities in the three months period ended June 30, 2023 was $162,706 compared to net cash used of $343,839 in the same period in 2022. The variance between the same periods in 2023 and 2022 relates mainly to a higher loss, mostly due to higher other expenses, in the period ended June 30, 2022 over the same period in 2023.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months period ended June 30, 2023 was zero compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $395,000 in the same period in 2022. Cash provided in the period ended June 30, 2022 was due to the conversion of warrants for a net of $148,000 and net proceeds from a convertible note of $245,000.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had total assets of $78,922 and total liabilities of $1,233,956. Stockholders’ deficit as of June 30, 2023 was $1,155,034. This compares to a stockholders’ deficit of $1,296,137 as of March 31, 2023. Liabilities decreased in 2023 mainly as a function of lower convertible notes, net of discount and lower derivative liability.

NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING:

The Company is engaged 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.

Our current capital needs are estimated to be approximately $15-20 million. This will take us through Phase II clinical trials which is scheduled to begin in late 2023.

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, 2023, 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, 2023. 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
