NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization and Description

The Company is in the business of licensing and commercializing our proprietary medical devices and biomaterials for the treatment and/or management of afflictions and diseases in animals, initially for dogs and horses. The Company began commercialization of its lead product Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology, a veterinarian-administered, intraarticular injection for the management of lameness and other joint afflictions such as osteoarthritis in dogs and horses in September 2021. The Company has a pipeline of additional products for the treatment of animals in various stages of development. A portfolio of twenty patents protects the Company’s biomaterials, products, production processes and methods of use. The Company’s operations are conducted from its headquarter facilities in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota.

(B) Basis of Presentation

PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada under a former name in 2009 and entered its current business in 2014 through a stock exchange reverse merger with PetVivo, Inc., a Minnesota corporation. This merger resulted in PetVivo, Inc. becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In April 2017, the Company acquired another Minnesota corporation, Gel-Del Technologies, Inc., through a statutory merger, which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2024, or for any other interim period or for any future year. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023.

(C) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly-owned Minnesota corporations, Gel-Del Technologies, Inc. and PetVivo, Inc. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(D) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment and intangibles, estimate of fair value of share-based payments, distributor rebate payable, provision for product returns, right of use lease assets and liabilities and valuation of deferred tax assets.

(E) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid, temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents at September 30, 2023.

(F) Concentration Risk

The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. At September 30, 2023, the Company did not have cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

(G) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from a distributor (see revenue recognition). Accounts receivable is recorded based on management’s assessment of the expected consideration to be received, based on a detailed review of historical collections. Management relies on the results of the assessment, which includes payment history of the applicable payer as a primary source of information in estimating the collectability of our accounts receivable as well as a forecast of projected credit losses. We update our assessment on a quarterly basis, which to date has not resulted in any material adjustments to the valuation of our accounts receivable since all receivables to date have been collected. We believe the assessment provides reasonable estimates of our accounts receivable valuation, and therefore we believe that substantially all accounts receivable are fully collectible. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, our allowance for credit losses was zero.

(H) Inventory

Inventories are recorded in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 330, Inventory, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We account for inventories using the first in first out (“FIFO”) methodology. Provisions for inventory obsolescence are charged to Cost of Sales. There were no provisions for obsolescence for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(I) Property & Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years for production and computer equipment and furniture and 5 to 7 years for leasehold improvements.

(J) Patents and Trademarks

The Company capitalizes direct costs for the maintenance and advancement of their patents and trademarks and amortizes these costs over the lesser of the useful life of 60 months or the life of the patent. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by considering events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.

(K) Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The Company had 5,447,485 warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2023, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $5.63 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these warrants is $4.04 per share. These warrants are excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 177,334 restricted stock units outstanding as of September 30, 2023, which are excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 1,354,088 stock options outstanding as of September 30, 2023, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.39 to $2.79 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these options is $2.20 per share. These stock options are excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 3,686,320 warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2022, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $6.67 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these warrants was $5.02 per share. These warrants were excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 339,418 restricted stock units outstanding as of September 30, 2022, which were excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 393,789 options outstanding as of September 30, 2022, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.39 to $2.79 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these options was $1.91 per share. These options were excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they were considered anti-dilutive.

The Company uses the guidance in ASC 260 to determine if-converted loss per share. ASC 260 states that convertible securities should be considered exercised on the latter of the first day of the reporting period’s quarter or the inception date of the debt instrument. Also, the if-converted method shall not be applied for the purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be anti-dilutive.

(L) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

The Company derives revenue from the sale of its pet care products directly to its veterinarian customers in the United States. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the veterinarian customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms. Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer, which is when control of these products is transferred and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for these products. Shipping costs charged to customers are reported as an offset to the respective shipping costs. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

The Company entered into a Distribution Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MWI Veterinary Supply Co. (the “Distributor”) on June 17, 2022. Contracts with the Distributor are evidenced by individual executed purchase orders subject to the terms of the Agreement. The contracts consist of a single performance obligation related to the sale of our pet care products. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms in the Agreement. Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the Distributor; payment is due within 60 days. The Agreement provides for a distribution fee payable to the Distributor equal to 5% of gross monthly sales payable in 45 days; the distribution fee is netted against revenue. The Agreement provides for a rebate payable to the Distributor based on annual sales volume that is retroactively applied. The rebate is estimated under the expected value method and is netted against revenue. Sales are subject to various right of return provisions; the Company uses an expected value method to estimate returns and has determined that any returns would be immaterial as of September 30, 2023. As a result, there is no return liability recorded. Shipping and handling costs are a fulfillment activity and are reported as cost of sales.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue from product sales under the Agreement of $143,606 and $118,264, respectively. This represents 69% and 53% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized revenue from product sales under the Agreement of $177,395 and $118,264, respectively. This represents 55% and 42% of total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Assets and liabilities (included in accrued expenses) under the Agreement were as follows:

SCHEDULE OF RECOGNIZED REVENUE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

(M) Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

(N) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the accounting guidance under ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and note payable and accrued interest. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the Company’s borrowing rate of interest.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of the Company’s note recorded at fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market, and (iii) contractual prices.

The Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

(O) Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”‘ which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award based on grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognized forfeitures as they occur as permitted under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.

(P) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

As required by ASC 450, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The Company is not currently under examination by any federal or state jurisdiction.

The Company’s policy is to record tax-related interest and penalties as a component of operating expenses.

(Q) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.

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) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which replaces the existing “incurred loss” model for recognizing credit losses with an “expected loss” model referred to as the CECL model. Under the CECL model, the Company is required to present certain financial assets carried at amortized cost, such as accounts receivable, at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company adopted this standard in the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended September 30, 2023. The change had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

NOTE 2 – INVENTORY

As of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had inventory of $434,080 and $370,283, respectively.

The components of accrued expenses were as follows:

SCHEDULE OF COMPONENTS OF ACCRUED EXPENSES 

Pursuant to a lease wherein our subsidiary, Gel-Del Technologies, Inc., was the lessee until and through the lease’s termination in fiscal year 2018, the Company had recorded approximately $332,000 as a potential payable to the lessor. This liability remains outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

NOTE 7 – NOTE PAYABLE

In January 2020, the Company entered into a lease amendment for our corporate office facility whereby the lease term was extended through November of 2026 in exchange for a loan of $42,500. The note payable accrues interest at a rate of 6% per annum. At September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the amount outstanding on the note was $23,995 and $27,351, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the Company classified $7,139 as a current liability and $16,856 in other liabilities. At March 31, 2023, the Company classified $6,936 as a current liability and $20,415 in other liabilities.

NOTE 8 – RETIREMENT PLAN

In February 2021, the Company established a 401(k) retirement plan for its employees in which eligible employees can contribute a percentage of their compensation. The Company may also make discretionary contributions. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company made contributions to the plan of $12,854 and $8,183, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company made contributions to the plan of $25,408 and $14,341, respectively.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Obligations

We lease property and equipment under operating leases, typically with terms greater than 12 months, and determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. In general, an arrangement contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the identified asset. We record an operating lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term on the commencement date. The related right of use (‘‘ROU”) operating lease asset reflects rental escalation clauses, as well as renewal options and/or termination options. The exercise of lease renewal and/or termination options is at our discretion and is included in the determination of the lease term and lease payment obligations when it is deemed reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, certain leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement.

We classify our leases as buildings, vehicles or computer and office equipment and do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts for any of the aforementioned classifications. In accordance with applicable guidance, we do not record leases with terms that are less than one year on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

None of our lease agreements contain material restrictive covenants or residual value guarantees.

Buildings

The Company entered into an eighty-four month lease for 3,577 square feet of newly constructed office, laboratory, and warehouse space located in Edina, Minnesota in May 2017. The base rent has annual increases of 2% and the Company is responsible for its proportional share of common space expenses, property taxes, and building insurance. This lease is terminable by the landlord if damage causes the property to no longer be utilized as an integrated whole and by the Company if damage causes the facility to be unusable for a period of 45 days. In January 2020, the Company entered into a lease amendment to extend the lease term through November of 2026 in exchange for receipt of a loan of $42,500 recorded to note payable. The monthly base rent as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 was $2,294.

The Company entered into a sixty-three month lease for 2,400 square feet of office space located in Edina, Minnesota in January 2022. This lease will expire in March 2027. The base rent has annual increases of 2.5% and the Company is responsible for its proportional share of common space expenses, property taxes, and building insurance. The monthly base rent as of September 30, 2023 and March 31, 2023 was $2,740 and $2,673, respectively.

On January 10, 2023, the Company entered into a new lease agreement for approximately 14,000 square feet of production and warehouse space with a commencement date of April 1, 2023, which is when the control and right of use for this asset took place. The initial monthly base rent is $8,420 and has annual increases of 2.5%. The Company is also responsible for its proportional share of common space expenses, property taxes, and building insurance. The lease will terminate on June 30, 2033 and the Company has a renewal option for a period of five years. The monthly base rent as of September 30, 2023 was $8,420.

Vehicles

We leased vehicles for certain members of our field sales organization in the six months ended September 30, 2023, under a vehicle fleet program whereby the noncancelable lease is for a term of 48 months. The Company recognized an operating lease right-of-use asset for approximately $150,000 and corresponding and equal operating lease liability for the lessee. As of September 30, 2023, in addition to monthly rental fees specific to the vehicle, there are fixed monthly nonlease components that have been included in the ROU operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities. The nonlease components are not significant.

Operating lease expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, was $104,473 and $51,994, respectively. Operating lease expense for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $175,265 and $101,954, respectively.

The following is a maturity analysis of the annual undiscounted cash flows of the operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023:

SCHEDULE OF ANNUAL UNDISCOUNTED OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 

In compliance with ASC 842, the Company recognized, based on the extended lease terms to June 2026, November 2026, March 2027, and June 2033, a treasury rate of 0.12%, 0.40%, 7.6%, and 4.39%, respectively, an operating lease right-of-use assets for approximately $1,465,000 and corresponding and equal operating lease liabilities for the leases. As of September 30, 2023, the present value of future base rent lease payments based on the remaining lease terms and weighted average discount rate are approximately 4.8 years and 4.11%, respectively, are as follows:

As of September 30, 2023, the present value of future base rent lease payments – net is classified between current and non-current assets and liabilities as follows:

SCHEDULE OF LEASE CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers. As of September 30, 2023, these agreements contain severance benefits ranging from one month to six months if terminated without cause.

Legal Proceedings

David Masters, a former employee, board member, and consultant to the Company, has threatened to file suit against the Company to recover in excess of $2 million. Masters’ threatened litigation relates to allegations that the Company promised him additional compensation, shares, warrants, and future employment while he was associated with the Company. The Company mediated these claims with Masters in 2022 and executed a mediated settlement agreement resolving these claims for a one-time payment of $180,000, to be effective upon execution of a long form agreement containing these and other settlement terms. The parties appointed the mediator as arbitrator to resolve any disputes arising during the drafting of the long form agreement on commercially reasonable terms. In early 2023, Masters commenced arbitration to have certain terms in the long form agreement decided. The arbitrator issued an award setting the final terms of the agreement. Soon thereafter, Masters refused to execute the long form agreement set by the arbitrator; terminated the law firm representing him in the mediation, negotiations, and arbitration; suggested that the arbitration award was tainted by a conflict of interest; and threatened the claims set forth above.

In September 2023, Masters executed the long-term agreement and the Company recorded a settlement expense of $180,000. The settlement was paid in October 2023.

NOTE 10 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

The Company incurred net losses of $6,554,730 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, had net cash used in operating activities of $4,604,962 for the same period, and has an accumulated deficit of $78,398,759 on September 30, 2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months after the date of issuance of these financial statements. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve a level of profitability and/or to obtain adequate financing through the issuance of debt or equity in order to finance its operations.

The Company raised an aggregate of $1,070,000 in October and on November 6, 2023 from (i) the sale of 725,000 shares pursuant to its ATM Sales Agreement dated August 23, 2023 between the Company and ThinkEquity LLC and facilities and (ii) in a private offering to accredited investors. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan will enable the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise additional funds.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Equity Incentive Plan

On July 10, 2020, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the PetVivo Holdings, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock as awards under the 2020 Plan, subject to approval by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 22, 2020, when it was approved by our stockholders and became effective. On October 14, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the PetVivo Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which may be granted under the Amended Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Amended Plan will terminate at midnight on July 10, 2030. The number of shares available to grant under the Plan was 1,039,235 at September 30, 2023.

Employees, consultants, advisors of the Company (or any subsidiary), and non-employee directors of the Company will be eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. In the case of consultants and advisors, however, their services cannot be in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction nor directly or indirectly to promote or maintain a market for PetVivo common stock.

The Amended Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has full power and authority to determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount, form of payment, any deferral payment, and other terms and conditions of each award. Subject to provisions of the Amended Plan, the Committee may amend or waive the terms and conditions, or accelerate the exercisability, of an outstanding award. The Committee also has the authority to interpret and establish rules and regulations for the administration of the Amended Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors may also exercise the powers of the Committee.

The aggregate number of shares of PetVivo common stock available and reserved to be issued under the Amended Plan is 3,000,000 shares, but includes the following limits:

● the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock granted as an Award to any Non-Employee Director in any one Plan Year will be 10,000 shares; provided that such limit will not apply to any election of a Non-Employee Director to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of all or a portion of any annual Board, committee, chair or other retainer, or any meeting fees otherwise payable in cash.

Awards can be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash and other consideration as determined by the Committee. Awards may provide that upon the grant or exercise thereof, the holder will receive cash, shares of PetVivo common stock, other securities or property, or any combination of these in a single payment, installments, or on a deferred basis. The exercise price per share of any stock option and the grant price of any stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of PetVivo common stock on the date of grant. The term of any award cannot be longer than ten years from the date of grant. Awards will be adjusted in the event of a stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger or other business combination, or similar corporate transaction, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits provided under the Amended Plan.

The Amended Plan permits the following types of awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, non-employee director awards, other stock-based awards, and dividend equivalents.

Convertible Debentures

On July 27, 2023, the Company issued convertible promissory notes (“Convertible Debentures”) in the aggregate amount of $550,000 to three accredited investors pursuant to debenture subscription agreements (“Debenture Subscription Agreement”). The Convertible Debentures mature on January 26, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date or (ii) upon the occurrence of certain events prior to the Maturity Date, including, without limitation, the sale of common stock of at least $2 million.

On August 11, 2023, the Company entered into Convertible Debenture Conversion Agreements (“Conversion Agreements”) with the three debenture holders (“Debenture Holders”). Pursuant to the Conversion Agreements, each Debenture Holder agreed to voluntarily and immediately convert the outstanding balance on their Convertible Debenture into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to January 26, 2024, the maturity date of the Convertible Debentures, provided that the Company adjust the original conversion rate to one share of the Company’s common stock for each $1.50 of principal (reduced from $1.60 in the Convertible Debenture) and pay an amount equal to six months of interest (the “New Conversion Rate”) and grant warrants to the Debenture Holders providing each Debenture Holder with the right to purchase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued to the Debenture Holder in the conversion. The Debenture Holders converted $550,000 in Convertible Debentures and accrued interest of $27,500 into 385,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 385,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrants are exercisable any time on or after February 5, 2024 and prior to August 10, 2026 at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

As a result of the inducement to the Debenture Holders to voluntarily convert the outstanding balance of their Convertible Debentures prior to their maturity date, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $534,366. The loss is comprised of the value of the warrants issued of $463,476, as determined by the Black Scholes model; the value of additional shares issued of $45,834 as a result of the lower conversion rate to one share of the Company’s common stock issued and the additional interest of $25,056 which is the amount of interest credited to the Debenture Holders over the actual interest earned of $2,444.

Sale of Common Stock

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with two accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Offering”) 1,200,002 shares (“Registered Shares”) of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $1.50 per share. Under the Purchase Agreements, the Company also agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement,” and together with the Registered Offering, the “Offering”) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,200,002 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Net proceeds from the Registered Offering were $1,775,782, after deducting offering expenses of $24,218. The net proceeds were allocated between the common stock and warrants based on the relative fair values which were $502,417 and $1,273,365, respectively. The Warrants are exercisable any time on or after February 5, 2024 and prior to August 10, 2026 at an exercise price of $2.00 per share.

Common Stock

For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company issued 2,891,511 shares of common stock as follows:

For the six months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 106,914 shares of common stock as follows:

The Company has issued shares of common stock to providers of investor relations services which are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. The value of these shares are reported as a prepaid expense and are amortized to expense over the contractual life of the respective consulting agreements. The amortization of stock issued for services as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows was $44,520 and $105,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $165,810 and $150,050 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units

We have granted time-based restricted stock units to certain participants under the 2020 Plan that are stock-settled with common shares. Time-based restricted stock units granted under the 2020 Plan vest over three years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for time-based restricted stock units was $223,383 and $182,377 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $480,349 and $364,754 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2023, there was approximately $441,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to time-based restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of nine months.

Our time-based restricted stock unit activity for the year ended March 31, 2023 and the six months ended September 30, 2023 was as follows:

SCHEDULE OF TIME BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

Stock Options

Stock options issued to employees and directors typically vest over three years (one year for directors) and have a contractual term of seven years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock options was $278,470 and $102,763 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $509,123 and $130,786 for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2023, there was approximately $1,267,000 of total unrecognized stock option expense which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Annually, we make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, dividend yield, expected term, and forfeiture rate. The dividend yield assumption is based on expected annual dividend yield on a grant date. To date, no dividends on common stock have been paid by us. Expected volatility for grants is based on our average historical volatility over a similar period as the expected term assumption used for our options as the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group. We use the “simplified method” to determine the expected term of the stock option grants. We utilize this method because we do not have sufficient public company exercise data in which to make a reasonable estimate.

The following table sets forth the estimated fair values of our stock options granted:

SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE ASSUMPTION 

Our stock option activity for the year ended March 31, 2023 and the six months ended September 30, 2023 is as follows:

SCHEDULE OF STOCK OPTION ACTIVITY

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “PetVivo,” “we” or “us) is an emerging biomedical device company focused on the manufacturing, commercialization, and licensing of innovative medical devices and therapeutics for animals. The Company has a pipeline of products for the treatment of animals. A portfolio of twenty patents protects the Company’s biomaterials, products, production processes, and methods of use. The Company began commercialization of its lead product Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology, a veterinarian-administered, intraarticular injection for the management of lameness and other joint afflictions such as osteoarthritis in dogs and horses, in the second quarter of its fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

The Company was incorporated in March 2009 under Nevada law under a different name. The Company operates as one segment from its corporate headquarters in Edina, Minnesota.

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company is primarily engaged in the business of commercializing and licensing products in the veterinary market to treat and/or manage afflictions of companion animals such as cats, dogs and horses. Most of our technology was developed for human biomedical applications, and we intend to leverage the investments already expended in their development to commercialize treatments for horses and companion animals in a capital and time-efficient way.

The Company’s initial product, Spryng™, and its pipeline products are derived from proprietary biomaterials that simulate a body’s cellular tissue by virtue of their reliance upon natural protein and carbohydrate compositions which incorporate such “tissue building blocks” as collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans such as heparin. Since these are naturally-occurring in the body, we believe they have an enhanced biocompatibility with living tissues compared to synthetic biomaterials such as those based upon alpha-hydroxy polymers (e.g. PLA, PLGA, and the like), polyacrylamides, and other “natural” biomaterials that may lack the multiple building-block proteins incorporated into our biomaterials. These proprietary protein-based biomaterials are similar to the body’s tissue thus allowing integration and tissue repair in long-term implantation in certain applications.

Spryng™, is a veterinary medical device designed to integrate with the synovial fluid before adsorbing onto the synovial membrane and subsequently being integrated into the subsynovial tissue. Such action assists in the management of lameness and other joint related afflictions, such as osteoarthritis, in horses and companion animals. Spryng™ is an intra-articular injectable product of biocompatible and insoluble particles that are slippery, wet-permeable, durable, and resilient to enhance the force cushioning function of the synovial fluid and promote restoration of proper joint mechanics. The particles mimic natural cartilage in composition, structure, and hydration. Multiple joints can be treated simultaneously. Our particles are comprised of collagen, elastin, and heparin, similar components found in natural cartilage. These particles show an effectiveness in promoting restoration of proper joint mechanics by incorporating with the joint’s synovial fluid and ultimately adsorbing onto the synovial lining wherein they integrate with the subsynovial tissue.

Osteoarthritis, a common inflammatory joint disease in both dogs and horses, is a chronic, progressive, degenerative joint disease that is caused by a loss of synovial fluid and/or the deterioration of joint cartilage. Osteoarthritis affects approximately 21 million dogs and 1 million horses in the $11 billion companion animal veterinary care and product sales market.

Despite the market size, veterinary clinics and hospitals have very few treatments and/or drugs for use in treating osteoarthritis in dogs, horses, and other pets. As there is no cure for osteoarthritis, current solutions treat symptoms, but do not manage the cause. The current treatment for osteoarthritis in dogs generally consists of the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or “NSAIDs”) which are approved to alleviate pain and inflammation but present the potential for side effects relating to gastrointestinal, kidney, and liver damage and do not halt or slow joint degeneration. The Company offers an alternative to traditional treatments that only address the symptoms of the affliction. Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ technology addresses the affliction, loss of synovial fluid, and/or the deterioration of joint cartilage, rather than treating just the symptoms and, to the best of our knowledge, has elicited minimal adverse side effects in dogs and horses. Spryng™ administered dogs and horses have shown an increase in activity even after they no longer are receiving pain medication or other treatments. Other treatments for osteoarthritis include steroid and/or hyaluronic acid injections, which are used for treating pain, inflammation and/or joint lubrication, but can be slow acting and/or short lasting.

We believe Spryng™ is an optimal solution to safely improve joint function in animals for several reasons:

Historically, drug sales represent up to 30% of revenues at a typical veterinary practice (Veterinary Practice News). Revenues and margins at veterinary practices are being eroded because online, big-box, and traditional pharmacies have recently started filling veterinary prescriptions. Veterinary practices are looking for ways to replace lost prescription revenues with safe and effective products. Spryng™ is a veterinarian-administered medical device that should expand practice revenues and margins. We believe that the increased revenues and margins provided by Spryng™ will accelerate its adoption rate and propel it forward as the standard of care for canine and equine lameness related to or due to synovial joint issues.

We commenced sales of Spryng™ in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and plan to increase our commercialization efforts of Spryng™ in the United States through our distribution relationship with MWI Veterinary Supply Co. (“Distributor” or “MWI”) and the use of sales reps, clinical studies, and market awareness to educate and inform key opinion leaders on the benefits of Spryng^TM.

We entered into a Distribution Services Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) with MWI on June 17, 2022. Pursuant to the Agreement, we appointed MWI to distribute, advertise, promote, market, supply, and sell the Company’s lead product, Spryng^TM on an exclusive basis for two (2) years within the United States (the “Territory”), transitioning to a non-exclusive basis thereafter; provided however that the Company shall extend the exclusivity for an additional one (1) year if MWI achieves certain performance targets agreed upon by the parties. The Company can continue to sell Spryng™ within the Territory to established accounts, which include: (a) customers who have purchased Spryng^TM from the Company prior to the date of the Agreement, (b) customers who require that they deal directly with the Company, (c) governmental agencies, and (d) customers that order via the internet who are not directly solicited by MWI to purchase Spryng™. All customers must be licensed veterinary practices.

Spryng™ is classified as a veterinary medical device under the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) rules and pre-market approval is not required by the FDA. The Company completed a safety and efficacy study in rabbits in 2007 and tolerance studies in dogs and cats in 2023. Since 2007, more than 3,000 horses, dogs and cats have been treated with Spryng™. We entered into a clinical trial services agreement with Colorado State University on November 5, 2020. We expect this university clinical study to be completed in March 2024. Additionally, the Company began two canine clinical studies with Ethos Veterinary Health, the first beginning in May of 2022 with completion in October 2023, and the second beginning in June of 2023 with an expected completion in October 2024. We anticipate these and other studies that we plan to initiate will be primarily used to expand our distribution outlets since the large international and national distributors generally require a third-party university study and other third-party studies prior to including a product in their catalog of products.

We manufacture our products in an ISO 7 certified clean room manufacturing facility in Minneapolis using our patented and scalable self-assembly production process, which minimizes the infrastructure requirements and manufacturing risks to deliver a consistent, high-quality product while being responsive to volume requirements. A second ISO cleanroom facility is expected to be operational later this year. We believe that having two manufacturing facilities will help us minimize supply risks, allow for continued scaling of our production capacity, and expand our research and development facilities.

We also have a pipeline of therapeutic devices for both veterinary and human clinical applications. Some such devices may be regulated by the FDA or other equivalent regulatory agencies, including but not limited to the Center for Veterinary Medicine (“CVM”). We anticipate growing our product pipeline through the acquisition or in-licensing of additional proprietary products from human medical device companies specifically for use in pets. In addition to commercializing our own products in strategic market sectors and in view of the Company’s vast proprietary product pipeline, the Company may establish strategic out-licensing partnerships to provide secondary revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2023 10-K Report and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1, Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“10-Q Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2023 10-K Report under the heading “Risk Factors,” as updated and supplemented by risks described in other SEC filings. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

We are a smaller reporting company and have incurred substantial losses in connection with our operations. We will need substantial capital to pursue our current plans to commercialize our initial product, Spryng™.

The Company has continued to realize losses from operations. As a result of the proceeds of $1,070,000 from the sale of common stock [pursuant to our ATM Sales Agreement and from a private offering, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next two months. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our efforts to commercialize Spryng™ and our ongoing operations. We expect to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities from time to time for the foreseeable future to fund our business expansion. Our ability to obtain such additional capital will likely be subject to various factors, including our overall business performance and market conditions. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its ability to raise additional capital to fund its business plan.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities – We used $4,604,962 of net cash in operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2023. This cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net loss of $6,554,730, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense of $1,020,047, loss on extinguishment of debt of $534,366, consulting services paid in stock of $237,516 and stock issued for investor relations services of $165,810.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – We used $93,618 of net cash in investing activities for the six months ended September 30, 2023, consisting of costs capitalized for manufacturing and computer equipment.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities – We provided net cash in financing activities of $4,278,520 for the six months ended September 30, 2023, consisting of $3,731,876 from the sale of common stock and warrants and $550,000 from the sale of convertible debentures partially offset by $3,356 in repayments of note payable.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of September 30, 2023, and as of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

GOING CONCERN

The report of independent registered public accounting firm accompanying our March 31, 2023 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our working capital at September 30, 2023 was $100,517.

We have continued to realize losses from operations. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our efforts to commercialize Spryng™ and our ongoing operations. We expect to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities from time to time for the foreseeable future to fund our business expansion. Our ability to obtain such additional capital will likely be subject to various factors, including our overall business performance and market conditions. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its ability to raise additional capital to fund its business plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements attached hereto.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.

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) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not required

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the second quarter of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, the resolution of which we do not anticipate would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Refer to Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report, for further information regarding legal contingencies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023 ( “10-K”) which we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2023. Any of the risk factors contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and such risk factors may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. We do not undertake to update any of the “forward-looking” statements or to announce the results of any revisions to these “forward-looking” statements except as required by

The Company’s failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of its securities.

Our common stock and warrants are currently listed for trading on Nasdaq. On February 17, 2023, we received Notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company no longer complies with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement (“Stockholders’ Equity Rule”) under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing. On August 15, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the SEC to report that, as a result of certain sales of Company securities, it had regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company must evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule upon the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023. The Company does not meet the requirement of having $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity as of September 30, 2023 and it may receive a delisting notice from Nasdaq. If Nasdaq takes steps to de-list the Company’s common stock, it would likely have a negative effect on the price of the Company’s common stock and may impair a stockholder’s ability to sell or purchase shares of our common stock. In addition, delisting could impair our ability to raise additional capital.
