(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

(Unaudited)

1.	Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations

Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on November 26, 2007, under the name Azure International, Inc. On October 30, 2008, and effective as of the same date, the Company filed Articles of Merger (“Articles”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, to effect a merger by and between Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and Azure International, Inc. As a result of the merger, the Company changed its name to Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc. The Company was previously in the business of providing technical advisory and appraisals to the aircraft and aviation business as well as providing sourcing for aircraft leases and parts. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with WFS Pharmagreen Inc. (“WFS”) on May 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. and changed its principal business to the production of starter plantlets for the North American high CBD hemp and medical cannabis industries through the application of the proprietary plant tissue culture in vitro process called “Chibafreen”. This proprietary process will produce plantlets that will be genetically identical and free of pests and disease free with consistent and certifiable constituent properties. In 2022, the cannabis market in California and other states entered into a regression stage with the prices of the sun grown raw materials dropping below production costs including diminished demand for the sun grown material. Focusing on immediate revenues since Q2 2023, the Company has transitioned into a nutraceutical company formulating products from blends of therapeutic plants and fungi for sale.

Going Concern

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at March 31, 2023, the Company has earned insignificant revenues from operations, has a working capital deficit of $1,986,349, and has an accumulated deficit of $12,802,251. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $227,356 and used cash flows for operations of $53,764. Furthermore, the Company has defaulted on other convertible notes. These factors raise substantial doubt about or regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

2.	Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2023, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and the interim reporting rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.

2.	Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(b)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, WFS Pharmagreen Inc. (“WFS”), and its dormant 89.7% owned subsidiary 1155097 BC Ltd. (“115BC”), companies incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is September 30.

(c)

Use of Estimates and Judgments

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the equity component of convertible notes, fair value of derivative liabilities, fair value of stock-based payments, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

The Company applies judgment in the application of the going concern assumption which requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to 12 months from the end of the reporting period.

(d)

Derivative Liabilities

The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt issuances to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments. In circumstances where the host instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including the conversion option, that is required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.

Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and are then revalued at each reporting date with changes in the fair value reported as non-operating income or expense. When the equity or convertible debt instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for as liabilities, the total proceeds received are first allocated to the fair value of all the bifurcated derivative instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the host instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face value. The discount from the face value of the convertible debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to interest expense.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

(Unaudited)

The Company has adopted a sequencing approach to allocating its authorized and unissued shares when the number of such shares is insufficient to satisfy all convertible instruments or option type contracts that may be settled in shares. Specifically, the Company allocates it authorized and unissued shares based on the inception date of each instrument, with shares allocated first to those instruments with the earliest inception dates. Instruments with later inception dates for which no shares remain to be allocated are reclassified to asset or liability.

(e)

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates revenues from its proprietary blend of therapeutic plants and fungi, a nutraceutical wellness product.

The Company accounts for its revenue transactions under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”). In accordance with ASC Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of its product for an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive from its customers in exchange for that product. To determine revenue recognition for contracts that are determined to be in scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies the performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. Once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC Topic 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when such performance obligation is satisfied.

The transaction price is based on the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for its products and includes the fixed per-unit price of the product and variable consideration in the form of trade credits, vouchers, and rebates. The per-unit price is based on the Company’s established wholesale acquisition cost less a contractually agreed upon distributor discount with the customer.

(f)

Loss Per Share

The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. As at March 31, 2023, there were 378,286,238 (September 30, 2022 – 218,657,662) potentially dilutive shares outstanding.

(g)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its condensed consolidated financial statements and 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.

3.	Inventory

Inventory consisted of finished goods held with third party distributors. At March 31, 2023, the carrying value of inventory was $9,543.

4.	Promissory Note Receivable

On February 5, 2023, the Company terminated the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) described in Note 13. The advance of $88,850 was converted into a promissory note receivable bearing no interest until September 30, 2025.

The Company determines the allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) for loans receivable based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay (including the timing of future payment), and economic conditions. The process is inherently subject to significant change as it required material estimates. As at March 31, 2023, and September 30, 2022, the Company had $nil and $88,850, respectively, of loan receivable and no related ACL recorded, respectively.

5.	Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities consists of the following:

	March 31, 2023 $		September 30, 2022 $

Accounts payable		690,714		644,970

6.	Loans Payable

	(a)	On November 22, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note with an unrelated party for $40,000 in connection with an equity purchase agreement. The promissory note is unsecured, was due on November 30, 2020, and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum.

7.	Convertible Notes

(a)

On April 4, 2018, the amount of $32,485 owed to related parties was converted to Series A convertible notes, which are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on April 4, 2023. These notes are convertible in whole or in part, at any time until maturity, to common shares of the Company at $0.0001 per share. The outstanding balance remaining at maturity shall bear interest at 12% per annum until fully paid. The Company evaluated the convertible notes for a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The Company determined that the conversion price was below the closing stock price on the commitment date, and the convertible notes contained a beneficial conversion feature. The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $32,485 as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the convertible note to $nil. The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible notes up to their face value of $32,485.

(b)

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into a convertible note with an unrelated party for $78,750, of which $9,750 was paid directly to third parties for financing costs, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $69,000. The note was due on January 22, 2021, and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum, payable in common stock, which increases to 24% per annum upon default of the note. The note may be converted at any time after the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the lowest trading price during the 20-trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. In connection with the issuance of the above convertible note, the Company evaluated the conversion option for derivative treatment under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the conversion feature qualified as derivatives. The Company classified the conversion feature as a derivative liability at fair value. The initial fair value of the conversion feature was determined to be $75,179. The Company recognized the maximum intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $68,500, resulting in a loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $6,679, and reduced the carrying value of the convertible note to $500. The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to its face value of $78,750.

The financing costs were netted against the convertible note and are being amortized over the term using the effective interest rate method. During the year ended September 30, 2020, the Company defaulted on the convertible note and recognized accretion expense of $78,250. On January 22, 2021, the Company failed to repay the note upon maturity and is currently in default.

The Company classified the conversion feature as a derivative liability at fair value. The initial fair value of the conversion feature was determined to be $15,011, which reduced the carrying value of the convertible note to $14,989. The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to its face value of $30,000.

As of March 31, 2023, the carrying value of the convertible notes was $30,000 (September 30, 2022 - $23,489), had an unamortized discount of $nil (September 30, 2022 - $6,511), and the fair value of the derivative liability was $12,845 (September 30, 2022 - $10,486).

7.	Convertible Notes (continued)

(d)

On November 2, 2022, the Company entered into a secured convertible note with an unrelated party for proceeds of $50,000. The note is due on May 1, 2023 (subsequently defaulted upon maturity) and bears a one-time interest charge of 10% automatically accrued on the issuance date. The one-time interest charge was netted against the convertible note and is being amortized over the term using the effective interest rate method. Stringent pre-payment terms of 25% apply and any amount of principal or interest on the note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at 22% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law.

The note may be converted at any time after March 2, 2023, which was 120 days following the date of issuance, into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal 57.5% of the average of the 3 lowest trading prices during the 15-trading day period prior to the conversion date. On March 2, 2023, the Company evaluated the conversion option for derivative treatment under ASC 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined the conversion feature qualified as derivatives. The Company classified the conversion feature as a derivative liability at fair value. The initial fair value of the conversion feature was determined to be $48,419. The Company recognized the maximum intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $44,500, resulting in a loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $3,919, and reduced the carrying value of the convertible note to $500. The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to its face value of $50,000.

During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded accretion expense of $37,863 (2022 - $nil).

8.	Derivative Liabilities

The embedded conversion option of the Company’s convertible notes described in Note 7 contain a conversion feature that qualifies for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of this liability will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations as a gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

	$
Balance, September 30, 2022	271,394

Additions	48,419
Change in fair value of embedded conversion option	(147,721	)

Balance, March 31, 2023	172,092

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the binomial model based on various assumptions. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the inputs and assumptions used in the calculations:

	Exercise price		Stock price on measurement date		Expected volatility			Risk-free interest rate			Expected dividend yield			Expected life (in years)

As at September 30, 2022	$	0.0038	$	0.01		161	%		3.33	%		0	%		0.26
As at March 31, 2023	$	0.0036	$	0.0048		190	%		4.82	%		0	%		0.08

Company History Overview

Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada, U.S. on November 26, 2007 under the name Azure International, Inc. On October 30, 2008 and effective as of the same date, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of the State of Nevada, to effect a merger by and between Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on October 16, 2008, and Azure International, Inc. As a result of the merger, the Company changed its name to Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc.

On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with WFS Pharmagreen Inc., a private company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of WFS Pharmagreen Inc. in exchange for 37,704,500 shares of common stock of the Company. Upon completion of this transaction, the shareholders of WFS Pharmagreen hold 95.5% of voting control of the Company.

Immediately prior to closing of the Agreement, the majority shareholder of the Company was also the majority shareholder of WFS. As a result of the common ownership upon closing of the transaction, the acquisition was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the business combination guidance in ASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be under common control as of February 27, 2018, which was the date that the majority shareholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over both companies. On May 2, 2018, the Share Exchange Agreement was effected. In connection with this transaction, the Company changed its name on May 8, 2018 to Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. and changed its year end from April 30th to September 30th.

Our principal executive offices are temporarily located at 2987 Blackbear Court, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. Our telephone number is (702-803-9404). Our internet address is www.pharmagreen.ca.

On August 7, 2020, our Company (including subsidiaries) filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. 20-13886.

We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next 12 months. We do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses, and we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our plan of operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing, through equity security sales, debt instruments and private financing, to conduct our day-to-day operations, and to fully execute our business plan. We plan to raise the capital necessary to fund our business through the sale of equity securities, debt instruments or private financing. These factors raise substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This report does not reflect all the adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Our Current Business

Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 26, 2007. The Company is headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia. The Company’s mission is to advance the technology of tissue culture science and to provide the highest quality 100% germ free, disease free and all genetically the same plantlets of high CBD hemp and other flora and offering full spectrum DNA testing for plant identification, live genetics preservation using low temperature storage for various cannabis and horticulture plants; extraction of botanical oils mainly CBD oil, and to deliver laboratory based services to the North American high CBD hemp, Cannabis and agriculture sectors.

Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In 2021, the Company had changed its business development from Canada to the United States, as it was determined that the opportunities in the hemp and cannabis industries were much greater in the United States, specifically California.

On July 25, 2021, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to acquire all the assets and cannabis business operations (includes 12 acres property, structure and cannabis licenses, existing sales channels and distribution networks) from a private company situated in Northern California. Upon reaching a definitive agreement, the Company intended to further develop a state-of-the-art flowering greenhouse of approximately 12,000 square feet or the maximum allowed by California State and Regional County. The acquisition price of $2.4 million was to be paid through a combination of cash and shares. The Company also had an option from the seller to acquire an additional 120 acres or more of land for business expansion and development. The Company currently lacks funds with which to consummate the contemplated transaction and has not negotiated a definitive agreement with respect to the contemplated transaction.

In 2022, the Cannabis market in California entered a regression stage with prices for the raw materials dropping below production costs including greatly diminished demand for the sun grown raw material. Because of the current state of the Cannabis market in California, the Company terminated the MOU during to the six months ended March 31, 2023. The Company will revisit the development of the biotech complex infrastructure that will be capable of producing tissue cultured high CBD hemp starter plantlets, once the economy turns around.

Focusing on immediate revenues, the Company has been and is currently formulating its nutraceutical products from blends of therapeutic plants and fungi. Utilizing the Company’s expertise in plant genetics, Pharmagreen’s transgenic program uses the newest technology available to research and create nutraceuticals, for daily supplements with the potential to help, support and improve human lives, and to address a wide variety of ailments.

Pharmagreen’s first new product, MaxGenomic(TM) Supplement, is a proprietary blend, formulated in the U. S. A., of nine medicinal mushrooms and six medicinal plants to help support the human mind and body. This supplement is produced in a U.S.A cGMP facility, in enteric capsules to enhance the bioavailability of the MaxGenomic(TM) supplement.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion on the Company’s or our audited financial statements for the latest year ended September 30, 2022, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues from our planned business model are anticipated until we have completed financing the Company. As at March 31, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,986,349 and an accumulated deficit of $12,802,251. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We need to seek capital from resources such as the sale of private placements in the Company’s common stock or debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company. However, if such financing were available, because we are a, early-stage company with no or limited operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with such financing and in the case of high risk loans be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via such financing, it may be required to cease business operations.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $7,386 in cash, amounts receivable of $569, and prepaid expenses and deposits of $56,640, as compared to $8,016 in cash, amounts receivable of $383 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $200,572 as of September 30, 2022. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to fund the expenses related to maintaining our planned operations. We are in the process of seeking additional equity financing in the form of private placements, loans and registration statements to fund our intended business operations.

Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful or we are successful in raising funds from registered securities, we will generate sales revenue within twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.

We do not anticipate researching any further products nor the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

We had insignificant revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Operating expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $120,227 as compared to operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of $458,860. The net decrease in expenses during the current period is mainly due to the decrease in consulting fees from $424,363 in 2022 to $84,128 in 2023.

We had a comprehensive loss of $190,416 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to a comprehensive loss of $1,053,211 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in comprehensive loss in 2023 was mainly attributable to a decrease in operating expenses of $338,633 and a change in fair value of derivative liabilities from a loss of $563,917 in 2022 to a loss of $17,149 in 2023, which resulted from fluctuations of the derivative liability due to the floating rates attached to the conversion rights to the convertible debt.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized net loss of $187,982 and $1,035,741, respectively.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2023

We had insignificant revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2023 and no revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2022.

Operating expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2023 were $301,320 as compared to operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2022 of $662,520. The net decrease in expenses during the current period is mainly due to the decrease in consulting fees from $563,891 in 2022 to $224,033 in 2023.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized a net loss of $187,982 and $1,035,741, respectively.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the Company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the company is a party, under which the company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period 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 in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In connection with this quarterly report, as required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company’s management, including our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company’s management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. Due to these material weaknesses management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2022.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on the Company’s previous reported financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in the Company’s determination to its financial statements for the future periods.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P., our independent auditors, are not required to and have not performed an assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On July 22, 2020, the Company received a preliminary statement of claim from a convertible note holder for failure of the Company to deliver shares of common stock upon receipt of notices of conversion. Pursuant to the claim, the plaintiff has requested receipt of all shares of common stock requested in the notices of conversion, and also damages in an amount to be determined at trial but in any event in excess of principal amount of $78,000 for a total sum of $180,000, including without limitation the balance of any portion of the convertible note that ultimately is not converted into shares of common stock, along with default interest, liquidated damages, and damages as provided for in the convertible note.

On October 9, 2020, a stay order was lifted by a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on an action filed by a lender. This effectively removed the Company from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and protection. The lifting of the stay order further allowed the convertible note holders to convert thereby increasing the number of shares issued and outstanding.

On October 29, 2020 a second note holder filed a statement of claim. This lender, as of December 24, 2020, has completely converted the full amount of the note of $100,000, interest of $8,690 and penalty and fees aggregating $19,500.

Also, as mentioned above, the Company filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada on August 7, 2020. The Company’s filing with the Court was designated as Case No. 20-13886. During the pendency of this matter, the Company has also filed motions with the Court seeking authorization to continue to operate its businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. Due to the stay order mentioned, the Company did not file a plan of reorganization with the Court for approval.

On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the convertible noteholder that had filed a preliminary statement of claim on July 22, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement the Company was required to honor various conversion notices and the note holder agreed to wave all principal, interest and penalties incurred.

On March 10, 2021, the promissory note holder referred to in Note 4 (a) of the accompanying consolidated financial statements filed a Notice of Motion For Summary Judgement in Lieu of Complaint (the “Notice”) with the State of New York Supreme Court, County of New York for $40,504 plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum from January 6, 2021 plus costs. On July 31, 2021, the Notice was dismissed without prejudice by the State of New York Supreme Court. On October 20, 2021, the promissory note holder filed an Amended Notice of Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint with the State of New York Supreme Court, County of New York for $44,504 plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum from January 6, 2021, plus costs and attorney fees. The plaintiff filed for an oral argument which was heard by the State of New York Supreme Court on September 15, 2022 and is pending a final decision. The Company believes the claim is without merit, as evidenced by the initial claim being dismissed by the same courts, and will vigorously defend its position.

Except as mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or stockholder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.
