Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

This Report on Form 10-K contains certain statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”). These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report on Form 10-K. For example, given the cessation of our operations as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers on January 31, 2020, resulting from the sale of substantially all of our assets to an independent third party, we became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction whereby such a transaction would likely result in a change in control. If we are unable to effect a transaction with an operating company, we may be required to cease all operations, including liquidation through bankruptcy proceedings. Accordingly, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law.

Corporate History

We were founded in 1993 as a subsidiary of PolyMedica Corporation (“PolyMedica”). In June 1996, PolyMedica distributed all of the shares of CardioTech International, Inc.’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which PolyMedica owned, to PolyMedica stockholders of record. We were engaged in the business of developing advanced polymer materials for use in medical devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states. In July 1999, we acquired the assets of Tyndale-Plains-Hunter (“TPH”), a manufacturer of specialty hydrophilic polyurethanes.

In April 2001, we acquired Catheter and Disposables Technology, Inc. (“CDT”), a contract manufacturer of advanced disposable medical devices. In April 2003, we acquired Gish Biomedical, Inc. (“Gish”), a manufacturer of single use cardiopulmonary bypass products. In the development of our business model, we reviewed the strategic fit of our various business operations and determined that CDT and Gish did not fit our strategic direction. Gish was sold in July 2007 and CDT was sold in March 2008.

Effective October 26, 2007, pursuant to stockholder approval, we were reincorporated from a Massachusetts corporation to a Delaware corporation. We changed our name from CardioTech International, Inc. to AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation, effective October 15, 2008.

On November 25, 2019, we entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”) for the sale of substantially all of our assets for a total purchase price of $7,250,000. The Asset Purchase Agreement was approved by our stockholders on January 21, 2020. As a result, we ceased operating as a manufacturer and seller of advanced polymers on January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”). Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction would likely result in a change in control. Although certain opportunities have been investigated to determine whether a potential merger or investment opportunity could add value for the benefit of our shareholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.

On March 3, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which amendment was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors, to change our name AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation to EKIMAS Corporation.

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 422,725 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022, an additional 4,691,750 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 5,114,475 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding.

On February 23, 2023, the Company and Nordicus Partners A/S, a Danish stock corporation, consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Company, Nordicus, GK Partners ApS (“GK Partners”), Henrik Rouf and Life Science Power House ApS (“LSPH”). GK Partners, Rouf and LSPH are collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers”, and each individually as a “Seller”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Sellers contributed, transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Company all right, title and interest in and to one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Nordicus for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As a result of the Business Combination, Nordicus became a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 17, 2023, the Company changed its name to Nordicus Partners Corporation and its ticker symbol to NORD.

Our Business

We are a financial consulting company, specializing in providing Nordic companies with the best possible conditions to establish themselves on the U.S. market, taking advantage of management’s combined +90 years of experience in the corporate sector, serving in different capacities both domestically and globally.

Our core competencies lie in assisting Danish as well as other Nordic and international companies in different areas of corporate finance activities, such as:

The aforementioned areas of expertise are widely applicable in a lot of industries; however, the companies we service primarily operate in the following sectors:

Our mission going forward, is to assist the right Nordic companies realize their growth strategy, by fine tuning systems and processes, sharpening the commercial focus and providing companies with the best possible guidance and setup suited to successfully establish themselves on the U.S. market.

Through our business operations, we are being presented with numerous business opportunities and ventures. On occasion we view some of those businesses attractive enough to engage with ourselves and thus acquire an ownership stake in the company. Hence, potentially creating an added revenue stream – alongside the fees from our corporate finance services – if the company’s value increases over time.

Besides the value we provide through our direct involvement with the companies, we have a comprehensive network of business partners and associates, which spans across Europe and the U.S.

We also operate as a business incubator, in which we can provide added value by accelerating and smoothing companies’ transition to the U.S. through a number of support resources and services such as office space, lawyers, bookkeepers, marketing specialists, etc. with years of experience navigating through the U.S. marketplace. Hence, providing companies with the optimal conditions needed for their international expansion.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Prior to August 1, 2020, our common stock was quoted on the OTCQB tier of The OTC Markets under the ticker symbol “ASNB.” Effective August 1, 2020, we voluntarily downgraded to the OTC PINK tier of the OTC Markets. On May 17, 2023, the Company changed its name to Nordicus Partners Corporation and its ticker symbol to NORD.

Our shares are subject to Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities and Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of the security. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (not including their personal residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse, and certain institutional investors. The rules require the broker-dealer to receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase and require the broker-dealer to deliver a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock prior to the first transaction. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the security. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to customers disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks.

Holders

As of June 23, 2023, there were approximately 112 stockholders of record of our common stock, although we believe that there are other persons who are beneficial owners of our common stock held in street name. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Transfer Online, 512 SE Salmon Street, Portland, OR 97214. Their telephone number is (503) 227-2950.

Dividends

We have not paid cash or stock dividends and have no present plan to pay any dividends, intending instead to reinvest our earnings, if any. For the foreseeable future, we expect to retain any earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business and the payment of any cash dividends on our common stock is unlikely.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On April 11, 2022, effective April 1, 2022, we issued to GK Partners ApS (“GK Partners”), a private investor located in Denmark, for financial services, a warrant to immediately purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, which expires on December 31, 2023. On February 14, 2023, GK Partners exercised a portion of its warrant for 115,000 shares. The exercise price was $1.00 per share for total proceeds of $115,000.

On November 28, 2022, we issued 1) to David Volpe a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 2) to Bennett J. Yankowitz a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire on December 31, 2027. Mr. Volpe’s warrants were issued as compensation for consulting services provided to the Company. Mr. Yankowitz’s warrants were issued as compensation for his acting as the sole director and the chief executive officer of the Company.

On February 23, 2023, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement by and among the Company, Nordicus, GK Partners, Henrik Rouf and Life Science Power House ApS (“LSPH”), the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of the common stock (Note 1).

On June 20, 2023, the Company and GK Partners entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), under which GK Partners sold to the Company 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of Myson, Inc. In exchange, the Company issued 2,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock to GK Partners.

We did not repurchase any of our securities during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans as of the End of Fiscal 2023 Equity Compensation Plan Information

Stock Repurchase Plan

In June 2001, the Board of Directors adopted a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 250,000 of our shares of common stock. In June 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 500,000 shares of common stock. Since June 2001, a total of 251,379 shares have been repurchased by us under the share repurchase program, leaving 498,621 shares remaining to purchase under the share repurchase program. No repurchases were made during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The share repurchase program authorizes repurchases from time to time in open market transactions, through privately negotiated transactions, block transactions or otherwise, at times and prices deemed appropriate by management, is not subject to an expiration date.

Stockholder Rights Plan

Our Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) under which all stockholders of record as of February 8, 2008 will receive rights to purchase shares of a new series of preferred stock (the “Rights”). The Rights will be distributed as a dividend. Initially, the Rights will attach to, and trade with, our common stock. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations of the Rights Plan, the Rights will become exercisable if (among other things) a person or group acquires 15% or more of our common stock. Upon such an event, and payment of the purchase price, each Right (except those held by the acquiring person or group) will entitle the holder to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock (or the economic equivalent thereof) having a value equal to twice the purchase price. Our Board of Directors may redeem the Rights prior to the time they are triggered. In the event of an unsolicited attempt to acquire us, the Rights Plan is intended to facilitate the full realization of our stockholder value and the fair and equal treatment of all of our stockholders. The Rights Plan will not prevent a takeover attempt. Rather, it is intended to guard against abusive takeover tactics and encourage anyone seeking to acquire us to negotiate with the Board of Directors. We did not adopt the Rights Plan in response to any particular proposal.

As a result of the Business Combination, Nordicus became a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

We are a financial consulting company, specializing in providing Nordic companies with the best possible conditions to establish themselves on the U.S. market, taking advantage of management’s combined +90 years of experience in the corporate sector, serving in different capacities both domestically and globally.

Our core competencies lie in assisting Danish as well as other Nordic and international companies in different areas of corporate finance activities.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2023 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2022

Operating Expenses

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had stock-based compensation to related parties of $8,141,501, for the fair value of warrants issued. We had no stock-based compensation expense in the prior year.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had professional fees of $102,286 compared to $119,863 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $17,577 or 14.7%. The decrease is largely due to a decrease of accounting fees.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had consulting fees of $39,602 compared to $105,565 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $65,963 or 62.5%. The decrease is largely due to a decrease of consulting fees for our prior CEO.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had general and administrative expenses of $196,500 compared to $83,743 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $112,757 or 134.6%. The increase in G&A expense is mainly due to the expense related to a cash distribution of $141,693.

Other Income

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had interest expense of $382 and other income of $8,055, for total other income of $7,673. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, we had other income of $22,000, from a cash deposit in connection with a non-binding arrangement.

Net Loss

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had a net loss of $8,472,216 compared to $287,171 in the prior year. The large increase in our net loss in the current fiscal year is due to the non-cash expense we incurred as discussed above.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of March 31, 2023, we had cash of $7,149, a decrease of $238,796 when compared with a balance of $245,945 as of March 31, 2022.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we had net cash of $368,347 used in operating activities compared to $282,381 used in operating activities in the prior year.

There was no cash used in or provided by investing activities during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, net cash of $128,886 provided by financing activities. We received $115,000 from the exercise of warrants and $13,886 from a related party. We received and repaid a $40,000 loan payable.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, we had net cash of $400,000 provided by financing activities which was a result of the issuance of an additional 5,114,475 shares of our common stock to a private investor in consideration of $400,000 in cash.

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we reported a net loss of approximately $8,472,000 and $287,000, respectively. Cash flows of approximately $368,000 and $282,000 were used in operations for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

Refer to Note 2 of our financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K for a summary of our critical accounting policies and recently adopted and issued accounting standards.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Nordicus Partners

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nordicus Partners Corporation and Subsidiary (“the Company”) as of March 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenue, incurred losses since inception, and has an accumulated deficit. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Nordicus Partners Corporation (F/K/A EKIMAS Corporation)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Nordicus Partners Corporation (F/K/A EKIMAS Corporation) (the Company) as of March 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has recurring losses and an accumulated deficit. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Related Party Transactions

The Company has significant related party transactions with and balances due to related parties. One of the former executive officers and the current chief executive officer of the company are providing services to the Company as consultants for legal and accounting services. We addressed significant related party transactions by testing and reviewing documentation of individual transactions.

Evaluating the identification of related party transactions was complex as it involved our assessment to determine such transactions were identified by the Company.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Nordicus Partners Corporation (the “Company” “Nordicus”) was founded in 1993 as a subsidiary of PolyMedica Corporation. On January 31, 2020, we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provided critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.

As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify either an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction would likely result in a change in control. On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.

On March 3, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which amendment was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors, to change our name AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation to EKIMAS Corporation.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 422,725 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022, an additional 4,691,750 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 5,114,475 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding.

On February 23, 2023, the Company and Nordicus Partners A/S, a Danish stock corporation, consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Company, Nordicus, GK Partners, Henrik Rouf and Life Science Power House ApS (“LSPH”). GK Partners, Rouf and LSPH are collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers”, and each individually as a “Seller”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Sellers contributed, transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Company all right, title and interest in and to one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Nordicus for an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As a result of the Business Combination, Nordicus became a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 17, 2023, the Company changed its name to Nordicus Partners Corporation and its ticker symbol to NORD.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the collectability of receivables, useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, impairment in fair value of goodwill.

Concentration of Credit Risk

We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the years ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2023, includes the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nordicus Partners A/S. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Translation Adjustment

The accounts of the Company’s subsidiary are maintained in Danish krone. According to the Codification, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate at respective balance sheets dates, members’ capital are translated at the historical rates and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive income in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification (ASC 220), as a component of Stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the income statement.

Comprehensive Income

The Company uses SFAS 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (ASC Topic 220). Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the statements of Stockholders’ equity, except changes in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income is included in net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Stock-based Compensation

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2018-07 allows companies to account for nonemployee awards in the same manner as employee awards. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The Company’s notes payable approximate the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangements on March 31, 2023 and 2022.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of March 31, 2023, there are 6,635,000 potentially dilutive shares of common stock from warrants. There were no potentially dilutive shares for the year ended March 31, 2022. Diluted shares are not presented when the effect of the computations are anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of the transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. 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 that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when in the judgment of management, it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of March 31, 2023, and 2022, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has not yet generated any revenue and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $42,197,663 as of March 31, 2023. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s recent acquisition, its generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, loans from third parties and/or private placement of common stock. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Mr. Michael Adams, our former chief executive officer, was a non-employee consultant and holder of less than 1.0% of our outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2022. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Mr. Adams earned $0 and $12,000, respectively, in consulting fees and was reimbursed $0 and $2,000, respectively, for office expenses and car allowance.

The warrants were issued as compensation for his acting as the sole director and the chief executive officer of the Company. Refer to Note 8 valuation detail.

NOTE 6 - PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred Stock

We have authorized 5,000,000 shares, $0.001 par value, Preferred Stock (the Preferred Stock”) of which 500,000 shares have been issued and redeemed, therefore are not considered outstanding. In addition, 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Junior Preferred Stock”) with the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions specified in the Certificate of Designation of the Junior Preferred Stock filed with the Delaware Department of State on January 28, 2008. Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by us that is convertible into Junior Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, there are no shares or Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

NOTE 7 - COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 5,114,475 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022. Pursuant to the SPA, each of four stockholders (the “Principal Stockholders”) entered into a Voting Agreement with Reddington (the “Voting Agreements”).

The sale of the first tranche of 21,136,250 shares of our common stock, on a pre-split basis, was consummated on October 12, 2021 (the “First Closing”). At the First Closing, the Principal Stockholders entered into the Voting Agreements with Reddington, covering an aggregate of 4,434,240 shares of our common stock, on a pre-split basis. As a result of these transactions, Reddington obtained ownership or voting power over a total of 25,570,490 shares of our common stock, on a pre-split basis, constituting approximately 51.8% of our total outstanding shares. Accordingly, Reddington became the majority stockholder of the Company.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 422,725 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022, an additional 4,691,750 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 5,114,475 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding. As of the Second Closing, the Voting Agreements terminated.

The cumulative purchase price for both tranches of shares of our common stock was $400,000. At the First Closing, Reddington paid the Company $200,000, $100,000 of which was required to be applied to the payment of our accrued and unpaid liabilities as of the First Closing date, and $100,000 of which was for working capital purposes. The remaining $200,000 was deposited to an escrow account with an independent escrow agent (the “Escrow Account”). At the Second Closing, if the $100,000 designated to pay for accrued and unpaid liabilities was not sufficient, funds from the Escrow Account were to be used to pay the remainder of such liabilities. At the Second Closing, Reddington paid us an additional $200,000. Pursuant to the SPA, any funds remaining after the payment of the accrued and unpaid liabilities, if any, and all funds in the Escrow Account, were to be combined and used solely for a special one-time cash distribution (the “Special Distribution”) by us, through a paying agent reasonably satisfactory to Reddington, to only our stockholders of record as of October 11, 2021, net of any costs associated with making the Special Distribution. Reddington and its Affiliates expressly waived any right to participate in the Special Distribution.

Our Board of Directors declared a cash distribution to stockholders pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA. The cash distribution of approximately $141,000, or $0.25 per share, was paid on September 22, 2022, to stockholders of record as of March 15, 2022.

On February 14, 2023, GK Partners exercised a portion of its warrant for 115,000 shares. The exercise price was $1.00 per share for total proceeds of $115,000.

NOTE 8 - WARRANTS

On April 11, 2022, effective April 1, 2022, we issued to GK Partners ApS, for financial services, a warrant to immediately purchase up to 6,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share which expires on December 31, 2023. In determining the fair value of the warrant, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model having the following assumptions: (i) stock option exercise price of $1.00; (ii) fair market value of our common stock of $1.22 as quoted on the OTC Markets on the date of issuance of the Warrant; (iii) expected term of option of 1.75 years; (iv) expected volatility of 699.79%; (v) expected dividend rate of 0.0%; and (vi) risk-free interest rate of approximately 2.44%. As a result, we recorded stock-based compensation of approximately $7,316,971 for the year ended March 31, 2023.

On November 28, 2022, we issued 1) to David Volpe a warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 2) to Bennett J. Yankowitz a warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire on December 31, 2027. Mr. Volpe’s warrants were issued as compensation for consulting services provided to the Company. Mr. Yankowitz’s warrants were issued as compensation for his acting as the sole director and the chief executive officer of the Company. In determining the fair value of the warrants, we used the Black-Scholes pricing model having the following assumptions: (i) stock option exercise price of $1.00; (ii) fair market value of our common stock of $1.12 as quoted on the OTC Markets on the date of issuance of the Warrant; (iii) term of option of 5 years; (iv) expected volatility of approximately 206%; (v) expected dividend rate of 0.0%; and (vi) risk-free interest rate of approximately 3.88%. As a result, we recorded total stock-based compensation of approximately $825,000 for the year ended March 31, 2023.

 SCHEDULE OF WARRANT ACTIVITIES

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAX

Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% is being used.

Reconciliation between our effective tax rate and the United States statutory rate is as follows:

SCHEDULE OF RECONCILIATION OF EFFECTIVE TAX RATE

Significant components of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities consist of the following:

 SCHEDULE OF SIGNIFICANT COMPONENTS OF DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES

At March 31, 2023, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $35,057,000 that may be offset against future taxable income. NOLs from tax years up to 2017 can be carried forward twenty years. Under the CARES Act, the Company can carry forward NOLs indefinitely for NOLs generated in a tax year beginning after 2017, that remain after they are carried back to tax years in the five-year carryback period. No tax benefit has been reported in the March 31, 2023, financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal Income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2016.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with SFAS 165 (ASC 855-10) management has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were issued and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements.

On June 9, 2023, Tom Glaesner Larsen resigned from the Company’s board of directors, and the remaining board members appointed Henrik Keller as his replacement.

On June 20, 2023, the Company and GK Partners ApS entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), under which the Seller sold to the Company 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of Myson, Inc. In exchange, the Company issued 2,500,000 restricted shares of its common stock to GK Partners.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

On October 7, 2022, the Company was notified by its auditor, Liggett & Webb, P.A. (“Liggett & Webb”) that it would no longer be offering auditing services. On October 7, 2022, the Company retained BF Borgers CPA PC to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

In May 2023 the Company, at the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors, terminated BF Borgers CPA PC as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company and its subsidiary Nordicus Partners A/S. On May 19, 2023, the Company, based on the decision of its board of directors, approved the engagement of Fruci & Associates II, PLLC to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2023, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. If successful in effecting a transaction with an operating company, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the interim or annual financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2023, based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control (2013). Based on this assessment, our management concluded that, as of March 31, 2023, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. If successful in effecting a transaction with an operating company, we intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.

This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

None.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that allows for us to ensure that our disclosure controls and procedures remain effective. Our Code also defines the standard of conduct expected by our chief executive officer and director. A copy of our Code of Ethics will be furnished without charge to any person upon written request. Requests should be sent to: Chief Executive Officer, Nordicus Partners Corporation, 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D565, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Based solely on a review of copies of such forms submitted to us, we believe that all persons subject to the requirements of Section 16(a) filed such reports on a timely basis in fiscal year 2023.

Corporate Governance and Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has long believed that good corporate governance is important to ensure that we manage our company for the long-term benefit of stockholders. During the past year, our Board of Directors has continued to review our governance practices in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and recently revised SEC rules and regulations. We intend to implement internal corporate governance guidelines and practices when we have available resources to implement these guidelines and practices. Such guidelines and practices, when implemented, will be furnished without charge to any person upon written request. Requests should be sent to: Chief Executive Officer, Nordicus Partners Corporation, 3651 Lindell Road, Suite D565, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We currently have no separate audit, compensation, or nominating committees. The entire Board oversees our (i) audits and auditing procedures; (ii) compensation philosophies and objectives, establishment of remuneration levels for our executive officer, and implementation of our incentive programs; and (iii) identification of individuals qualified to become Board members and recommendation to our shareholders of persons to be nominated for election as directors.

Director Independence

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.” As of the date of this Report, none of our directors are considered to be independent.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock, as of June 23, 2023 of (i) each person known by us to beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of such shares; (ii) each of our directors and current executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table; and (iii) our current executive officers and directors as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, all shares are beneficially owned, and the persons named as owners hold investment and voting power.

Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person, if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares. In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares, for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant, within 60 days of June 23, 2023. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person, and only such person, by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the following table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual voting power at any particular date.
