NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Propanc Biopharma”) was originally incorporated in Melbourne, Victoria Australia on October 15, 2007 as Propanc PTY LTD, and continues to be based in Camberwell, Victoria Australia. Since its inception, substantially all of the operations of the Company have been focused on the development of new cancer treatments targeting high-risk patients, particularly cancer survivors, who need a follow-up, non-toxic, long-term therapy designed to prevent the cancer from returning and spreading. The Company anticipates establishing global markets for its technologies. Our lead product candidate, which we refer to as PRP, is an enhanced pro-enzyme formulation designed to enhance the anti-cancer effects of multiple enzymes acting synergistically. It is currently in the preclinical phase of development.
On November 23, 2010, the Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware as Propanc Health Group Corporation. In January 2011, to reorganize the Company, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Propanc PTY LTD on a one-for-one basis making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Effective April 20, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Propanc Biopharma, Inc.” to better reflect the Company’s stage of growth and development.
The Company has filed six patent applications relating to its lead product, PRP. The first application was filed in October 2010 in each of the countries listed in the table below. This application has been granted and remains in force in the United States, Australia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa. In Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mexico and South Korea, the patent application remains under examination. The patent application in the European Union has recently been accepted.
In 2016 and 2017 we filed other patent applications, as indicated below. Three applications were filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (the “PCT”). The PCT assists applicants in seeking patent protection by filing one international patent application under the PCT, applicants can then seek protection for an invention in over 150 countries. Once national or regional applications are filed, the application is placed under the control of the national or regional patent offices, as applicable, in what is called the national or regional phase.
No. | Title | Country | Case Status | Date Filed | ||||

The Company hopes to capture and protect additional patentable subject matter based on the Company’s field of technology relating to pharmaceutical compositions of proenzymes for treating cancer by filing additional patent applications as it advances its lead product candidate, PRP, through various stages of development.
On April 20, 2017, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation whereby the Company (i) decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to 100,000,000 (ii) decreased the number of authorized shares of preferred stock to 1,500,005 and (iii) effected a one-for-two hundred and fifty (1:250) reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans, including all share and per-share data, for all amounts and periods presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
On January 23, 2018, Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation to increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and our financial position at March 31, 2018 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Reference is frequently made herein to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This is the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to non-governmental entities. Each ASC reference in this filing is presented with a three-digit number, which represents its Topic. As necessary for explanation and as applicable, an ASC topic may be followed with a two-digit subtopic, a two-digit section or a two-or-three-digit paragraph.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The June 30, 2017 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Propanc Biopharma, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Propanc PTY LTD. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the estimates of useful lives for depreciation, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion features on convertible debt, allowance for uncollectable receivables, valuation of equity based instruments issued for other than cash, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and foreign currency translation due to certain average exchange rates applied in lieu of spot rates on transaction dates.
Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company’s functional currency is the Australian dollar (AUD). For financial reporting purposes, the Australian dollar has been translated into United States dollars ($ and/or USD) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as other income (expense). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of Australian dollars to USD after the balance sheet date.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented includes only foreign currency translation gains (losses).
As of March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2017, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Australian dollars into USD for the purposes of preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements were as follows:
March 31, 2018 | June 30, 2017 | |||||||
Exchange rate on balance sheet dates | ||||||||
USD : AUD exchange rate | 0.7816 | 0.7676 | ||||||
Average exchange rate for the period | ||||||||
USD : AUD exchange rate | 0.7690 | 0.7544 |
Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was as follows:
Foreign Currency Items: | ||||
Beginning balance, June 30, 2017 | $ | (141,749 | ) | |
Foreign currency translation gain | 28,370 | |||
Ending balance, March 31, 2018 | $ | (113,379 | ) |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with US GAAP. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for loans payable, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.
The Company has adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The cost basis of notes and convertible debentures approximates fair value due to the market interest rates carried for these instruments.
Also see Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reflected as a current liability on the balance sheets. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2018 or June 30, 2017.
Patents
Patents are stated at cost and reclassified to intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods if and once the patent has been granted by a regulatory agency. However, the Company will expense any product costs for so long as we remain in the startup stage. Accordingly, as the Company’s products were and are not currently approved for market, all patent costs incurred from 2013 through March 31, 2018 were expensed immediately. This practice of expensing patent costs immediately ends when a product receives market authorization from a government regulatory agency.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Long-lived assets,” property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and balance sheet items are recognized net of the amount of GST, except payable and receivable balances which are shown inclusive of GST. The GST incurred is payable on revenues to, and recoverable on purchases from, the Australian Taxation Office.
Cash flows are presented in the statements of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
As of March 31, 2018, and June 30, 2017, the Company was owed $2,357 and $8,111, respectively, from the Australian Taxation Office. These amounts were fully collected subsequent to the balance sheet reporting dates.
Derivative Instruments
ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. On the date of conversion or payoff of debt, the Company records the fair value of the conversion shares, removes the fair value of the related derivative liability, removes any discounts and records a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
Convertible Notes With Variable Conversion Options
The Company has entered into convertible notes, some of which contain variable conversion options, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company treats these convertible notes as stock settled debt under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion and records the put premium as accretion to interest expense to the date of first conversion.
Income Taxes
The Company is governed by Australia and United States income tax laws, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office and the United States Internal Revenue Service, respectively. The Company follows ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted provisions of ASC 740, Sections 25 through 60, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” These sections provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods.

Research and Development Costs and Tax Credits
In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Total research and development costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 were $1,673,606 and $714,889, respectively.
The Company may apply for research and development tax concessions with the Australian Taxation Office on an annual basis. Although the amount is possible to estimate at year end, the Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income, then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as an income tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company applied for, and received from the Australian Taxation Office, a research and development tax credit in the amount of $180,763 and $306,159 respectively, which is reflected as a tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” as well as SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 Share Based Payment, which was issued by the SEC in March 2005 and related to its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values employee and non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented are identical. As of March 31, 2018, there were 149,517 warrants outstanding, 572,000 stock options and 18 convertible notes payable, which notes are convertible into 57,448,803 common shares. Such securities are considered dilutive securities which were excluded from the computation since the effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Certain FASB Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) that are not effective until after March 31, 2018 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company is evaluating or has implemented the following at March 31, 2018:
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance on the classification of the following items: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investments, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-15 for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-15.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. The changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. Modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, is required with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company expects this ASU will increase its current assets and current liabilities, but have no net material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, and contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had no revenues, had a net loss of $5,616,728 and had net cash used in operations of $1,730,085. Additionally, as of March 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $6,784,373, $6,772,914 and $43,860,251, respectively. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Successful completion of the Company’s development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities, acceptance of the Company’s patent applications and ultimately achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional debt or equity investments or achieve an adequate sales level.
NOTE 3 – DUE TO DIRECTORS - RELATED PARTIES
Due to directors - related parties represents unsecured advances made primarily by a former director for operating expenses on behalf of the Company such as intellectual property and formation expenses. The expenses were paid for on behalf of the Company and are due upon demand. The Company is currently not being charged interest under these advances. The total amount owed the former director at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 is $34,192 and $35,204, respectively. The Company repaid $1,077 during the nine months ended March 31, 2018.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS and FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which convertible instruments and warrants, which contain terms that protect holders from declines in the stock price (reset provisions), may not be exempt from derivative accounting treatment. As a result, warrants and embedded conversion options in convertible debt are recorded as a liability and are revalued at fair value at each reporting date. If the fair value of the warrants exceeds the face value of the related debt, the excess is recorded as change in fair value in operations on the issuance date. The Company has 12,000 warrants and $516,000 of convertible debt, which are treated as derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2018.
The Company calculates the estimated fair values of the liabilities for derivative instruments using the Binomial Trees Method. The closing price of the Company’s common stock at March 31, 2018 was $0.10. Volatility, expected remaining term and risk free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities at March 31, 2018 are indicated in the table that follows. The volatility was based on historical volatility at March 31, 2018, the expected term is equal to the remaining term of the warrants and the risk free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

Forward-looking statements are statements other than historical information or statements of current condition. Some forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” or “expect” and other similar words. The ultimate correctness of these forward-looking statements is dependent upon a number of known and unknown risks and events and is subject to various uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements.
The following important factors, among others, could affect future results and events, causing those results and events to differ materially from those views expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: our ability to continue as a going concern absent new debt or equity financings; our current reliance on substantial debt financing that we are unable to repay in cash; our ability to successfully remediate material weaknesses in our internal controls; our ability to reach research and development milestones as planned and within proposed budgets; our ability to control costs; our ability to obtain adequate new financing on reasonable terms; our ability to successfully develop PRP; our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection; our ability to recruit employees and directors with accounting and finance expertise; our dependence on third parties for services; our dependence on key executives; the impact of government regulations, including FDA regulations; the impact of any future litigation; the availability of capital and other economic, business and competitive factors.

Overview
Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) was originally incorporated in Melbourne, Victoria Australia on October 15, 2007 as Propanc PTY LTD, and continues to be based in Camberwell, Victoria Australia. Since its inception, substantially all of the operations of the Company have been focused on the development of new cancer treatments targeting high-risk patients, particularly cancer survivors, who need a follow-up, non-toxic, long-term therapy designed to prevent the cancer from returning and spreading. The Company anticipates establishing global markets for its technologies. Our lead product candidate, which we refer to as PRP, is an enhanced pro-enzyme formulation designed to enhance the anti-cancer effects of multiple enzymes acting synergistically. It is currently in the preclinical phase of development.
On November 23, 2010, the Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware as Propanc Health Group Corporation. In January 2011, to reorganize the Company, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Propanc PTY LTD on a one-for-one basis making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
36 |
Effective April 20, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Propanc Biopharma, Inc.” to better reflect the Company’s stage of growth and development.
To date, we have generated no revenue, have no cancer treatment products available to market and have no products which have reached the clinical trial stage. We require substantial additional financing to develop our products.

The terms of the March 2018 Back-End Note require cash funding prior to any conversion thereunder. The March 2018 Note Receivable is due November 23, 2018, unless certain conditions are not met, in which case both the March 2018 Back-End Note and the March 2018 Note Receivable may both be cancelled. Both the March 2018 Note and the March 2018 Back-End Note mature on March 23, 2019, upon which any outstanding principal and interest is due and payable. The amounts cash funded plus accrued interest under both the March 2018 Note and the March 2018 Back-End Note are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 62% of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock for the ten trading days prior to the conversion, subject to adjustment in certain events. The March 2018 Note is treated as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and accordingly the Company recorded a $64,968 put premium. The Company has recorded $185 of accrued interest as of March 31, 2018 for the March 2018 Note. Total principal outstanding under the March 2018 Note as of March 31, 2018 was $106,000.

As defined in the January 2018 Power Up Note, the “Market Price” shall be the average of the lowest three closing bid prices during the ten day trading period prior to and including the day the Company receives a notice of conversion from Power Up on the electronic quotation system or applicable principal securities exchange or trading market or, if no closing bid price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” during the ten prior trading days, including the day upon which the Company receives a notice of conversion from Power Up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Power Up shall be restricted from effecting a conversion if such conversion, along with other shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Power Up and its affiliates, exceeds 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

39 |
Additionally, Eagle Equities has the option to convert all or any amount of the principal face amount of the Note, at any time, for shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 60% of the lowest closing bid price (the “Closing Bid Price”) of the Company’s common stock as reported on the OTC Markets Group, Inc. quotation system for the ten prior trading days, including the day upon which the Company receives a notice of conversion from Eagle Equities (the “Conversion Price’). However, in the event that the Company’s common stock is restricted by the Depository Trust Company for any reason, the Conversion Price shall be lowered to 50% of the lowest Closing Bid Price for the duration of such restriction. If the Company fails to maintain a reserve of shares of its common stock at least three times the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note for at least 60 days after the issuance of the Note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.

Upon a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or certain reorganization, merger or consolidation events, Eagle Equities may either request that the Company redeem the Note in cash for 150% of the principal amount, plus any accrued but unpaid interest through the date of redemption, or convert the unpaid principal amount plus any accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company covenants to pay or reimburse Eagle Equities for any fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement along with other customary covenants, such as maintaining the quotation of the Company’s common stock on its existing quotation system.

Upon an event of default, interest on the outstanding principal shall accrue at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or at the highest rate permitted by law. In the event that the Company fails to deliver to Eagle Equities shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of principal or interest under the Note within three business days of a notice of conversion by Eagle Equities, including an opinion of counsel, the Company shall incur a penalty of $250 per day the shares are not issued from the fourth to ninth business day after the notice is delivered to the Company and on the tenth day and thereafter, the penalty shall increase to $500 per day.
Additional default penalties include:
● | In the event that the Company loses a bid price for its stock on its marketplace, the outstanding principal under the note shall increase by 20%. | |

● | In the event that the Company fails to pay the outstanding principal and interest on the maturity date, then the outstanding principal due under the Note shall increase by 10%. | |
● | In the event that the Company is delinquent in filing its periodic reports under the Exchange Act and such delinquency continues after the six month anniversary of the Note, then Eagle Equities shall be entitled to use the lowest close bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion. |
40 |
The total principal amount due and outstanding under all debt issued to Eagle Equities as of March 31, 2018 is $2,001,435.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation
On January 23, 2018, the Company filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to its certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware following notice of such Amendment given to the stockholders of the Company on January 3, 2018, who previously approved the Amendment. Pursuant to the Amendment, the number of authorized shares of the Company was increased from 101,500,005 to 401,500,005, consisting of (i) 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) 1,500,005 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
Manufacturing Services Agreement
We entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement (the “MSA”) and Quality Assurance Agreement (the “QAA”), each with an effective date of August 12, 2016, with Amatsigroup NV (“Amatsigroup”), formally known as Q-Biologicals NV, a contract manufacturing organization located in Belgium. Pursuant to the MSA, Amatsigroup will produce certain drug substances and product containing certain enzymes at its facility in Belgium. We will use these substances and products for development purposes, including but not limited to clinical trials. The MSA contemplates payment to Amatsigroup pursuant to a pre-determined fee schedule based on the completion of certain milestones that depend on our manufacturing requirements and final batch yield. We anticipate that our payments to Amatsigroup under the MSA will range between $2.5 million and $5.0 million over five years, with the majority of the expenditures occurring during the first two years of the MSA when the finished drug product is manufactured and released for clinical trials. To date, we have incurred expenses of $1,557,739 in connection with services performed by Amatsigroup under the MSA.
The MSA shall continue for a term of six years unless extended by mutual agreement in writing. We can terminate the MSA early for any reason upon the required notice period, however, in such event, the pre-payment paid upon signing the MSA is considered non-refundable. The QAA sets forth the parties respective obligations and responsibilities relating to the manufacturing and testing of the products under the MSA.
The agreements with Amatsigroup contain certain customary representations, warranties and limitations of liabilities, and confidentiality and indemnity obligations.
Pre-Clinical Efficacy and Toxicology Studies
In November 2015, we completed animal efficacy studies in mice through our contract research partner, vivoPharm, demonstrating proof of concept in vivo. During the course of these studies, we discovered a new target therapeutic dose range using pro-enzymes for treating cancer. That month, we filed a patent application in support of this discovery, as described further herein.
On October 25, 2016 we completed a toxicokinetic study for PRP. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the toxicokinetic parameters of PRP after repeated, daily intravenous tail vein administration in rats and to evaluate distribution and bioavailability of the test articles, both before and after repeat exposure, over a 28-day period.
On December 22, 2016, we commenced a second GLP-compliant toxicity study for PRP. An animal group was administered low dosages intravenously, also over a 28-day period, after which the focus of the study expanded to medium and high dosages. On April 27, 2017, we announced the successful completion of this study. On August 2, 2017, we completed a pathology assessment of the GLP-compliant 28-day repeat-dose toxicity study and again observed no treatment related findings. This concluded the preclinical development phase of PRP and provides a safety margin for a dosage of PRP to be administered in future clinical trials. We currently intend to submit a clinical trial application in the United Kingdom.
41 |
In November 2017, we successfully developed a manufacturing process capable of purifying and stabilizing the two active drug substances of the PRP formulation, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. The Company intends to commence engineering runs of manufacturing the finished drug product, prior to full scale GMP manufacture of PRP for human trials.
In March 2018, we undertook a scientific advice meeting with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), UK, regarding the investigational medicinal product (IMP) manufacturing program for PRP. A number of topics were raised and clarified regarding the preparation of a clinical trial application (CTA) for a First-In-Human study in the UK.
Intellectual Property Updates
In June 2017, we received a written opinion from the Australian Patent Office relating to our Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application. Specifically, we were notified that a majority of the claims we made concerning our combination of trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen that comprises PRP were considered novel and several of them were considered inventive. The Australian Patent Office also found that the experimental data included in the application and the way it is presented adequately supported the pending claims.
In July 2017, we received notification of the acceptance of our lead patent application from the Chinese Patent Office.
In January 2018, we received notification of allowance of our lead patent application from the European Patent Office.
Orphan Drug Designation
In June 2017, we were notified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that PRP had been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Orphan drug designation may be granted by the FDA when a rare disease or condition is implicated and a potential treatment qualifies under the Orphan Drug Act and applicable FDA regulations. This qualifies us for various developmental incentives, including protocol assistance, the potential for research grants, the waiver of future application fees, and tax credits for clinical testing if we choose to host future clinical trials in the United States.
In October 2017, we submitted a request for a second orphan drug designation for PRP, this time for ovarian cancer.
On November 2, 2017, we were notified by the FDA that our request was not granted. The Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) stated that complete prevalence is used as a measure of disease in ovarian cancer, as this reflects the number of women who have been diagnosed with disease and may be eligible for treatment with the proposed therapy. Therefore, on the date of the submission of our application, the OOPD estimated that the prevalence of ovarian cancer was 228,110 cases. Since the prevalence exceeds the threshold of 200,000 to qualify for orphan drug designation, they could not grant our request.
Consulting Agreements
On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement with a consultant for certain consulting, advisory and media services. As compensation for such services, the Company agreed to pay (i) an hourly fee, for up to $71,250 of time-based services; (ii) $9,772 for the preparation of certain marketing materials; (iii) an upfront fee of 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, with up to 750,000 additional shares to be issued in six months at the Company’s sole discretion, and (iv) a marketing bonus equal to 6% of the value of any: (x) business collaboration with the Company which is identified or introduced by the consultant; or (y) joint venture, licensing, collaboration or similar monetization or strategic transaction (other than any capital-raising transaction) which is identified or introduced by the consultant. The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay any of the aforementioned fees in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. If such fees are paid in stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be calculated by dividing the dollar amount of time (or value of the transaction, as the case may be) invoiced in such pay period by, as of the applicable calculation date, the most recent price at which the Company has sold shares of its common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) in a bona fide public or private financing including third party investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Below is a discussion of our more subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining (i) the methodology used in calculating the estimates, (ii) the inherent uncertainties pertaining to such estimates and (iii) the possible effects of a significant variance in actual experience, from that of the estimate, on the Company’s financial condition. Estimates involve numerous assumptions that, if incorrect, could create a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Reference is frequently made herein to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This is the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to non-governmental entities. Each ASC reference in this filing is presented with a three-digit number, which represents its Topic. As necessary for explanation and as applicable, an ASC topic may be followed with a two-digit subtopic, a two-digit section or a two-or-three digit paragraph.
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss): The Company’s functional currency is the AUD. For financial reporting purposes, the AUD has been translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense).
Accounting for Income Taxes: The Company is governed by Australia and United States income tax laws, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office and the United States Internal Revenue Service, respectively. The Company follows ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted provisions of ASC 740, Sections 25 through 60, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” These sections provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods.
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation: The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 issued by the SEC in March 2005 regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”
Derivative Instruments: ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. On the date of conversion, or payoff, of debt, the Company records the fair value of the conversion shares, removes the fair value of the related derivative liability, removes any discounts and records a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
43 |
Convertible Notes With Variable Conversion Options: The Company has entered into convertible notes, some of which contain variable conversion options, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company treats these convertible notes as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion, and records the put premium as accretion to interest expense to the date of first conversion.
Research and Development Tax Credits: The Company may apply for Research and Development tax concessions with the Australian Taxation Office on an annual basis. Although the amount is possible to estimate at year end, the Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as an income tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference is made to “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” under Note 1 of the Unaudited Condensed Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The results discussed below are of the Company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Propanc Pty Ltd.
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we generated no revenue because we are currently undertaking research and development activities for market approval and there were no sales generated in this period. We do not expect to make significant revenues for several years.
Administration Expenses
Administration expenses decreased to $723,992 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $1,153,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in stock based expense of approximately $320,000, which is related to a grant of stock options to our directors in April 2016 along with a decrease of approximately $380,000 related to stock based consulting fees. These decreases are offset by an increase in salaries and wages of approximately $225,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily related to the annual bonus paid to Mr. Nathanielsz during this period.
Occupancy Expense
Occupancy expense increased by $356 to $8,005 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase relates primarily to the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $75,138 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $386,490 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily due to a decrease in clinical development expenses for PRP, since reproduction runs and purification process development of the two proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, for the PRP formulation, were recently completed. The Company is preparing to commence engineering runs and GMP manufacture of the finished drug product, during or before the second half of this year, for a future First-In-Human study in the UK, after concluding a scientific advice meeting with the MHRA.

Interest Expense/Income
Interest expense increased to $830,911 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $798,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense is primarily comprised of $228,000 debt discount amortization and $616,000 in accretion of put premium and an $80,000 reduction of put premium related to the repayment of notes. This increase is primarily attributable to higher accretion amounts of convertible notes with discounted debt features offset by the conversion of derivative debt resulting in lower amortization of debt discount during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by $65,809 to a gain of $207,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from a gain of $273,545 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in the issuance of convertible notes with repricing options and variable conversion pricing.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction loss decreased to $230,346 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to a gain of $394,503 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in foreign currency transaction loss is primarily attributable to greater fluctuation in exchange rates in the three months ended March 31, 2017 than in the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Net loss
Net loss increased to $1,491,006 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $1,371,126 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase is primarily attributable to an approximately $306,000 decrease in tax benefit as well as the net effect of fluctuations within changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and foreign currency transactions gains.
For the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2018 compared to the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017
Revenue
For the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we generated no revenue because we are currently undertaking research and development activities for market approval and there were no sales generated in this period.
Administration Expenses
Administration expenses decreased to $1,750,840 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $3,893,534 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in stock based expense of approximately $980,000, which is related to a grant of stock options to our directors in April 2016 along with a decrease of approximately $780,000 related to stock based consulting fees. Additionally, investor relations decreased by $200,000 legal fees decreased by approximately $150,000 in the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
Occupancy Expense
Occupancy expense increased by $1,497 to $23,734 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The increase relates to the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates along with an approximately $700 decrease in occupancy in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 related to a reclassification of expenses.
45 |
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $1,673,606 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $714,889 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to an increase in clinical development expenses for PRP, as the purchase of the two proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, for the PRP formulation, raw material purification of the proenzymes, manufacturing process development and commencement of GMP manufacturing of the finished drug product intended for use in future First-In-Human studies increased in October 2017, as the Company advances towards full scale manufacturing. Additionally, the use of development & regulatory consultants also increased to support process development and manufacturing, submission to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for a request for Orphan Drug Designation status for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and preparation for a scientific advice meeting with the MHRA, which meeting was completed during the first calendar quarter of 2018.
Interest Expense/Income
Interest expense decreased to $2,210,097 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $2,525,375 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Interest expense is primarily comprised of $628,000 debt discount amortization and $1,500,000 in accretion of put premium. This decrease is primarily attributable to the conversion of derivative debt resulting in lower amortization of debt discount offset by higher accretion amounts of convertible notes with discounted debt features during the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by $625,973 from a gain of $603,938 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 to a loss of $22,035 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in the issuance of convertible notes with repricing options and variable conversion pricing.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction loss increased to $239,498 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to a gain of $143,169 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in foreign currency transaction gain is primarily attributable to greater fluctuation in exchange rates in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 than in the nine months ended March 31, 2018.
Net loss
Net loss decreased to $5,616,728 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 as compared with $6,234,008 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease is primarily attributable to an approximately $2,143,000 decrease in administrative expenses offset by an approximately $959,000 increase in research and development expense as well as the net effect of fluctuations within changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and foreign currency transactions gains.

Net cash used in operations was $1,730,085 for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $1,449,080 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. This fluctuation is due to a decrease in stock option expense of approximately $973,000, offset by an increase in accounts payable of approximately $626,000 along with fluctuations in changes in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, changes related to the valuation of new derivative liabilities and the revaluation of existing derivative liabilities in the nine months ending March 31, 2018.
46 |
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 were $1,893,255 compared to $1,388,036 for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we had proceeds from convertible promissory notes of $2,385,781 offset by repayments of convertible promissory notes of $490,181. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we had proceeds from convertible promissory notes of $923,750 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of approximately $464,000.
The effect of the exchange rate on cash resulted in a $222,917 negative adjustment to cash flows in the nine months ending March 31, 2018 compared to a negative adjustment of $50,968 to cash flows in the nine months ending March 31, 2017. The reason for the fluctuation is due to the application of translation rates throughout the cash flow statement, the volume of transactions within each period and the daily fluctuation in exchange rates.
We have substantial capital resource requirements and have incurred significant losses since inception. As of March 31, 2018, we had $9,296 in cash. Total debt outstanding at March 31, 2018 was $3,128,435. Based upon our current business plans, we will need considerable cash investments to be successful. Such capital requirements are in excess of what we have in available cash and for which we currently have commitments. Therefore, we presently do not have enough available cash to meet our obligations over the next twelve (12) months. Over the last twelve (12) months, we raised capital through unsecured short-term debt borrowings. In the near future, we intend to raise additional capital through either private or public financings. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, this may affect our operations and ability to complete ongoing activities in connection with our research and development programs. If we do not raise sufficient capital we will reduce our R&D activities to minimize overheads. Further, we may consider possible licensing of our drug product, JV’s or mergers.
Going Concern Qualification
We have incurred significant losses and cash used in operations, and such losses and use of cash are expected to continue. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. In addition, we have negative working capital. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include seeking additional capital or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” might make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of James Nathanielsz, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company is undertaking to improve its internal control over financial reporting and improve its disclosure controls and procedures. As of March 31, 2018, we identified the following material weaknesses that still exist through the date of this report:
As of March 31, 2018, and as of the date of filing this report, we did not maintain effective controls over the disclosure control environment. Specifically, the Company lacks accounting personnel with technical knowledge in certain debt and equity transactions. Additionally, because of the size of the Company’s administrative staff, controls related to the segregation of certain duties have not been developed and the Company has not been able to adhere to them. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
Other than as discussed above, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, as filed with the SEC. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Shares issued for conversion of debt
See Note 5 to the Company’s financial statements for dates and amounts of conversions of principal of convertible debt by various parties including Delafield, Eagle Equities and Regal Consulting, LLC.
The shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the convertible debt were sold without registration in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company was in default under those certain convertible promissory notes issued to Eagle Equities LLC on December 12, 2016, January 27, 2017 and March 1, 2017 for failure to pay an aggregate of $769,933 of principal and accrued interest as of December 12, 2017, January 27, 2018 and March 1, 2018, the respective maturity dates of such notes. The Company is currently in discussions with Eagle Equities LLC to extend such maturity dates. See Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this report, which we incorporate by reference into this Item, for additional information.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not Applicable.
See Part II, Item 3 of this report, which we incorporate by reference into this Item.
