This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, the terms “ Propanc,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” in this document refer to Propanc Biopharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and, where appropriate, its wholly owned subsidiary.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “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 of the Company.
On July 22, 2016, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Propanc (UK) Limited under the laws of England and Wales for the purpose of submitting an orphan drug application to the European Medicines Agency as a small and medium-sized enterprise. As of December 31, 2020, there has been no activity within this entity.
Effective April 20, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Propanc Biopharma, Inc.” to better reflect the Company’s stage of operations and development.
The Company has filed multiple patent applications relating to its lead product, PRP. The first application was filed in October 2010. This patent has been granted and remains in force in the United States, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Turkey, United Kingdom, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa, Mexico, Republic of Korea and India. In Brazil and Canada, the patent application remains under examination.
In 2016 and 2017 we filed other patent applications. 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, which allows the applicants to 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. One PCT application, filed in November 2016, entered the national phase in July 2018. A second application filed in January 2017 entered the national phase commencing July 2018. A third application entered the national phase in October 2018.
In July 2020, a world first patent was granted in Australia for the cancer treatment method patent family. Presently, there are 29 granted patents and 36 patents under examination in key global jurisdictions relating to the use of proenzymes against solid tumors, covering the lead product candidate PRP.
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 November 17, 2020, the Company effected a one-for-one thousand (1:1,000) reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Proportional adjustments for the Reverse Stock Split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans. All share and per-share data and amounts have been retroactively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) 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 U.S. 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 six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and our financial position at December 31, 2020 have been made. The Company’s results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

(Unaudited)
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from the Company’s interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. Accordingly, these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. The June 30, 2020 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Propanc Biopharma, Inc., the parent entity, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Propanc PTY LTD. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Propanc (UK) Limited was an inactive subsidiary at December 31, 2020.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 consolidated financial statements include the estimates of useful lives for depreciation, valuation of the operating lease liability and related right-of-use asset, 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 wholly owned subsidiary’s functional currency is the Australian dollar (AUD). For financial reporting purposes, the Australian dollar has been translated into the Company’s reporting currency which is the United States dollar ($) and/or (USD). 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 statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as other comprehensive income (loss). 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).
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the consolidated results of operations as incurred. Effective fiscal year 2021, the parent company determined that these intercompany loans will not be repaid in the foreseeable future and thus, per ASC 830-20-35-3, gains and losses from measuring the intercompany balances are recorded within cumulative translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Prior to July 1, 2020, the Company recorded the foreign currency transaction gains and losses from measuring the intercompany balances as a component of other income (expenses) as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an exchange loss of approximately $328,275 and $911,502, respectively, on intercompany loans made by the parent to the subsidiary which have not been repaid as of December 31, 2020. The Company recorded foreign currency transaction gain of $617,561 and $82,411 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, as reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Australian dollars into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
| December 31, 2020 | June 30, 2020 | |||||||
| Exchange rate on balance sheet dates | ||||||||
| USD : AUD exchange rate | 0.7706 | 0.6891 | ||||||

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with US GAAP. For certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for notes payable, net of discount, and loans payable also approximate fair value because current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.
The Company follows accounting guidance for financial assets and liabilities. 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.
Also see Note 11 - Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements.
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 December 31, 2020 or June 30, 2020.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; additions, renewals, and betterments are capitalized. When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the declining balance method. The depreciable amount is the cost less its residual value.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Machinery and equipment | - 5 years |
| Furniture | - 7 years |
Patents
Patents are stated at cost 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 patent costs as long as we are in the startup stage. Accordingly, as the Company’s products are not currently approved for market, all patent costs incurred from 2013 through December 31, 2020 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,” which include 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.
Employee Benefit/Liability
Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, accumulated annual leave, accumulated long service leave and any other employee benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are measured based on the employee’s remuneration rates applicable at the reporting date. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. All employee liabilities are owed within the next twelve months.
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 December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, the Company was owed $1,940 and $2,015, 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. On July 1, 2019 the Company adopted ASU 2017-11 under which down-round Features in Financial Instruments will no longer cause derivative treatment. The Company applies the modified prospective method of adoption. There were no cumulative effects on adoption.
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 or around 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 interest expense.
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.

(Unaudited)
The Company follows 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 three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $50,165 and $37, respectively. Total research and development costs for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $101,011 and $65,409, 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 each of the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company applied for, and received from the Australian Taxation Office, a research and development tax credit in the amount of $0 and $108,751, respectively, which is reflected as a tax benefit in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the shorter of the service period or the vesting period. The Company values employee and non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 and accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 718 and recognizes the fair value of such awards over the service period. The Company used the modified prospective method of adoption. There was no cumulative effect of adoption on July 1, 2019.
Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted and implemented on July 1, 2018, ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Upon implementation of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:
Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
Subject to these criteria, the Company intends to recognize revenue relating to royalties on product sales in the period in which the sale occurs and the royalty term has begun.
Legal Expenses
All legal costs for litigation are charged to expense as incurred.
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2019.

On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
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. Each holder of the notes has agreed to a 4.99% beneficial ownership conversion limitation (subject to certain noteholders’ ability to increase such limitation to 9.99% upon 60 days’ notice to the Company), and each note may not be converted during the first six-month period from the date of issuance. The securities for the period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were considered dilutive securities which were excluded from the computation since the effect is anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Company had no revenues, had net loss of $829,188, and had net cash used in operations of $440,975. Additionally, as of December 31, 2020, the Company had a working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $3,625,474, $3,608,041 and $56,610,958, 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 at least twelve months from the issue date of this Quarterly Report.
The unaudited condensed 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, obtaining additional sources of suitable and adequate financing and ultimately achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure and business plan. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is also dependent on its ability to further develop and execute on its business plan. However, there can be no assurances that any or all of these endeavors will be successful.
In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak has become increasingly widespread in the United States, Europe and Australia, including in each of the areas in which the Company operates. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak has had a notable impact on general economic conditions, including but not limited to the temporary closures of many businesses, “shelter in place” and other governmental regulations, reduced business and consumer spending due to both job losses, reduced investing activity and M&A transactions, among many other effects attributable to the COVID-19 (coronavirus), and there continue to be many unknowns. While to date the Company has not been required to stop operating, management is evaluating its use of its office space, virtual meetings and the like. The Company continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak closely. The extent to which the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak will impact our operations, ability to obtain financing or future financial results is uncertain.

Eagle Equities Financing Agreements
December 29, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement
The Company entered into an executory contract on December 29, 2017, whereby the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Eagle Equities, pursuant to which Eagle Equities purchased a convertible promissory note (the “December 2017 Eagle Note”) from the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $532,435, with principal and the interest thereon convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of Eagle Equities at any time. The transactions closed on January 2, 2018.
The December 2017 Eagle Note contained an original issue discount of $25,354 such that the purchase price was $507,081. The maturity date of the December 2017 Eagle Note was December 29, 2018. The Company was in discussions with Eagle Equities to extend the maturity date. The December 2017 Eagle Note bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum, which interest were to be paid by the Company to Eagle Equities in shares of the Company’s common stock upon receipt of a notice of conversion by the Company from Eagle Equities at any time.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
A complaint against us, dated September 26, 2019, has been filed by Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy (“Foley Shechter”), our former counsel, seeking $151,031 in legal fees, in addition to interest and costs of suit. The Company believes these claims to be unfounded and is vigorously defending itself. To that end, on November 20, 2019 the Company filed a motion to dismiss certain counts of the complaint, with prejudice. Oral argument was presented in November 2020, where the court dismissed certain counts of the complaint filed by Foley Shechter, whilst maintaining other counts. The Company shall file an answer, together with affirmative defenses and counterclaims. The counterclaims shall include, without limitation, malpractice claims arising out of Foley Shechter’s grossly negligent mishandling of certain transactions and excessive billing related thereto. Certain amounts related to this claim are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company has accrued the minimum amount within a possible range of the potential loss.
Regal Consulting, LLC (“Regal”) initiated litigation against the Company in Clark County District Court, Nevada. Regal is demanding approximately $400,000 and 60 shares of the Company’s common stock as payment for services that Regal purports to have performed. Regal additionally claims that $106,500 remains due on a Convertible Note executed by the Company in May of 2017, and asserts that it is owed in excess of $100,000 in penalties in connection with the Company’s refusal to honor certain Conversion Notices. The Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim, denying liability and alleging that Regal procured by fraud the Company’s execution of various consulting agreements and additionally failed to provide the consulting services contemplated by said agreements. On December 23, 2020, the parties mediated their dispute and are in the process of negotiating a potential settlement agreement. The Company has accrued the minimum amount within a possible range of the potential loss.
IRS Liability
As part of its requirement for having a foreign operating subsidiary, the Company’s parent U.S. entity is required to file an informational Form 5471 to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), which is a form that explains the nature of the relationship between the foreign subsidiary and the parent company. From 2012 through the 2014, the Company did not file this form in a timely manner. As a result of the non-timely filings, the Company incurred a penalty from the IRS in the amount of $10,000 per year, or $30,000 in total, plus accrued interest, such penalty and interest having been accrued and is included in the Accrued expenses and other payable figure in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded the penalties for all three years during the year ended June 30, 2018. The Company is current on all subsequent filings. The Company’s tax advisor is awaiting a response from the IRS on this matter.
Operating Agreements
In November 2009, the Company entered into a commercialization agreement with the University of Bath (UK) (the “University”) whereby the Company and the University co-owned the intellectual property relating to the Company’s pro-enzyme formulations. In June 2012, the Company and the University entered into an assignment and amendment whereby the Company assumed full ownership of the intellectual property while agreeing to pay royalties of 2% of net revenues to the University. Additionally, the Company agreed to pay 5% of each and every license agreement subscribed for. The contract is cancellable at any time by either party.

The initial rental amount was $3,000 AUD subject to a 3% yearly escalation. In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842), the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. On July 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets $48,662 and total lease liabilities of $48,662 based on an incremental borrowing rate of 6%.

NOTE 11 - 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 that contain terms and provisions which cause the embedded conversion options to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. 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 derivative expense in operations on the issuance date. The Company had $8,500 (1 note) and $126,500 (3 notes) of convertible debt, which have embedded conversion options bifurcated and is treated as derivative instruments outstanding at December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
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 December 31, 2020, the last trading day of the period ended December 31, 2020, was $0.28. Volatility, expected remaining term and risk-free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities at December 31, 2020 are indicated in the table that follows. The expected term is equal to the remaining term of the warrants or convertible instruments and the risk-free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

Risk Factors in the Company’s section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 3, 2020, and matters described in this Quarterly Report generally.
COVID-19
At Propanc, our highest priority remains the safety, health and well-being of our employees, their families and our communities and we remain committed to serving the needs of our customers. The COVID-19 pandemic is a highly fluid situation and it is not currently possible for us to reasonably estimate the impact it may have on our financial and operating results. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business as we learn more and the impact of COVID-19 on our industry becomes clearer. We are complying health guidelines regarding safety procedures, including, but are not limited to, social distancing, remote working, and teleconferencing. The extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict. Adverse global economic and market conditions as a result of COVID-19 could also adversely affect our business. If the pandemic continues to cause significant negative impacts to economic conditions, our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity could be adversely impacted. (See Part II, Item 1A – “Risk Factors”).
Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Delaware as Propanc Health Group Corporation on November 23, 2010. In January 2011, to reorganize our Company, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Propanc PTY LTD, an Australian corporation, on a one-for-one basis and Propanc PTY LTD became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Effective April 20, 2017, we changed our name to “Propanc Biopharma, Inc.” to better reflect our current stage of operations and development.
We are a development-stage healthcare company that is currently focused on developing new cancer treatments for patients suffering from pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancer. Utilizing our scientific and oncology consultants, we have developed a rational, composite formulation of anti-cancer compounds, which together exert a number of effects designed to control or prevent tumors from recurring and spreading through the body. Our lead product candidate, PRP, is a variation upon our novel formulation and involves pro-enzymes, the inactive precursors of enzymes.
As a result of positive early indications of the anti-cancer effects of our technology, over the last 24 months we have conducted successful pre-clinical studies on PRP. Subject to us receiving sufficient financing, we plan to begin our Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier, study proposal and Investigator’s Brochure in the 2021 calendar year. Our plan is to then commence our study preparation process with the contract research organization, analytical lab and trial site(s) selection and to begin our clinical trial application for PRP (“CTA”) compilation in the first calendar quarter of 2021, and complete the CTA compilation and submit the CTA in the second calendar quarter of 2021. In the third quarter of 2021, we plan to begin the preparation of logistics and trial site initiation visits. Subject to raising additional sufficient capital, we subsequently plan to commence a First-In-Human (FIH), Phase Ib study in patients with advanced solid tumors, evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor efficacy of PRP in the fourth calendar quarter of 2021, which study we hope to complete within twelve months thereafter. We intend to develop our PRP to treat early-stage cancer and pre-cancerous diseases and as a preventative measure for patients at risk of developing cancer based on genetic screening.
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 continue to test and commercialize PRP.

Products and Products in Development
Lead Product Candidate - PRP
PRP is a pharmaceutical composition consisting of two pancreatic proenzymes trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen for treating cancer. PRP is a novel approach to prevent recurrence and metastasis of solid tumors by using pancreatic proenzymes that target and eradicate cancer stem cells in patients suffering from pancreatic, ovarian and colorectal cancers. PRP is a novel therapy based on the science that enzymes stimulate biological reactions in the body, especially enzymes secreted by the pancreas and could represent the body’s primary defense against cancer.
To date, preclinical development has been completed for PRP, including pharmacology and safety toxicology studies, process development activities and bioanalytical method development. The full-scale GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) finished product manufacture of PRP will be completed in preparation for the FIH Phase Ib study. Validation of the bioanalytical method will also be completed prior to lodging our first clinical trial application (CTA) which we plan to undertake at the Peter Mac Cancer Center in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia’s biggest cancer hospital. Propanc Biopharma is currently collaborating with contract research organizations, manufacturing partners and its consultants to complete the activities prior to preparing the CTA for the Phase Ib study.
Recently, the Company received expressions of interest to evaluate proenzyme therapy as a method to prevent recurrence and metastasis of solid tumors in pancreatic and ovarian cancers. The letters of interest were confirmed by Drs. Natalia Luque Caro and Fernando Gálvez Montosa, medical oncologists specializing in pancreatic and ovarian cancers, respectively, from the University Hospital of Jaén, in Granada, Spain. The evaluation will most likely be conducted as separate Phase IIa proof of concept (POC), multi-trial center studies for each target indication. The expressions of interest were confirmed after their evaluation of Propanc’s scientific literature supporting the use of proenzymes in pancreatic and ovarian cancers. The Phase IIa POC studies will be conducted after the Phase Ib dose escalation study investigating the tolerability and activity of proenzyme therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors is completed at the Peter Mac Cancer Center.
Joint Research and Drug Discovery Program – POP1
The POP1 joint research and drug discovery program is designed to produce a backup clinical compound to the lead product candidate, PRP. With the aim of producing large quantities of trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen for commercial use, exhibiting minimal variation between lots and without sourcing the proenzymes from animals, Propanc Biopharma is undertaking a challenging research project in collaboration with the Universities of Jaén and Granada, led by research scientists Mr. Aitor González M.Sc. and Ms Belen Toledo M.Sc., supported by Prof. Macarena Perán, Ph.D., Prof. Juan Marchal M.D. and Dr. Julian Kenyon, M.D. as joint supervisors, representing the Universities and Propanc, respectively.
Propanc Biopharma entered into a second two-year joint research and collaboration agreement with the University of Jaén who are undertaking the research activities for the POP1 program.
One specific objective of the project will be to synthesize by an in vivo system both proenzymes to produce crystalized proteins that could be maintained for long periods without suffering degradation, even in absence of refrigeration. This will be particularly useful for a longer shelf life as well as global distribution of the drug product, particularly in warmer climates and developing regions where refrigeration may not be available.
The POP1 joint research and drug discovery program has produced synthetic recombinant versions of the two proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. Propanc Biopharma’s joint scientific researchers developed a novel expression system and are in the process of optimizing conditions to achieve high titers of recombinant trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. Further, the anticancer effects of the synthetic versions will be tested against the naturally derived proenzymes from bovine origin.
To date, both proenzymes were synthesized and purified in the laboratory. Once purified, the proenzymes were lyophilized (freeze dried) and each formed a stable, dry white powder. The sequence of proteins of each proenzyme were then determined by mass spectrometry. Larger quantities of the proenzymes were produced with the objective of establishing their combined anti-cancer effects against pancreatic and colorectal cancers. In addition, research activities were transferred to the MEDINA Foundation Research Center to scale up production. MEDINA is a Non-Profit Research Organization established in 2008 through a public-private alliance between the Regional Government of Andalusia, Spain, the pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme de España S.A. (MSD), and the University of Granada. Medina’s scientific platforms support the development of multidisciplinary research programs in Microbiology, Natural Product Chemistry and Screening & Target Validation.
Recently, Ms. Belen Toledo MSc., a biotechnologist specializing in cell regenerative medicine was appointed to evaluate the impact of proenzyme therapy on the tumor microenvironment. Ms. Toledo’s work will be part of the joint research and drug discovery program. Ms. Toledo, will elucidate the molecular pathways involved in the proenzymes anti-tumor efficacy and study how proenzymes interact with the pre-metastatic tumor niche, focusing on the interaction and suppression of tumor associated cells, like cancer-associated fibroblasts and macrophages. A pre-metastatic tumor niche is an environment in a secondary organ conducive to the metastasis (spreading) of a primary tumor. Such a niche provides favorable conditions for growth, and eventually metastasis, in an otherwise foreign and hostile environment for the primary tumor cells. Metastasis remains the main cause of patient death from solid tumors for cancer sufferers.
| 4 |
To achieve this, Ms. Toledo will use integrated tumor models in a microfluidics chip by obtaining 3-dimensional bio-impression samples from patients with advanced solid tumors, developed at the Centre for Biomedical Research, University of Granada, Granada, Spain, led by Prof. Juan Marchal M.D. As well as explaining the mechanism of action by which proenzymes exert their anti-cancer effects, it also confirms whether proenzymes penetrate into the tumor microenvironment and exert their effects. At the same time, it confirms the selectivity of the drug on solid tumors, by targeting cancer cells and leaving healthy cells alone.
Intellectual Property Portfolio
Propanc Biopharma’s intellectual property portfolio consists of four patent families and sixty-five patents either in force, or pending. The portfolio covers important discoveries regarding the use of proenzymes and their anti-cancer effects against solid tumors. Another two patent applications are in preparation covering composition of matter and method of use claims.
The portfolio covers pharmaceutical compositions for treating cancer comprising trypsinogen and/or chymotrypsinogen and a cancer treatment method for eradicating cancer stem cells. In 2018, three patent families entered national phase in key global jurisdictions, which means the application is under control of the national or regional patent offices for examination as the final step towards receiving a granted patent in that jurisdiction.
In July 2020, a world first patent was granted in Australia for the cancer treatment method patent family. Presently, there are 29 granted patents and 36 patents under examination in key global jurisdictions relating to the use of proenzymes against solid tumors, covering the lead product candidate PRP.
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.
Recent Developments
On October 1, 2020, entered into a two-year collaboration agreement with the University of Jaén (the “University”) to provide certain research services to the Company. In consideration of such services, the Company agreed to pay the University approximately 30,000 Euros ($35,145 USD) which shall be paid in four installment payments of 5,000 Euros in November 2020, 5,000 Euros ($5,858) in March 2021, 10,000 Euros ($11,715) in December 2021 and 10,000 Euros ($11,715) in September 2022. Additionally, the University shall hire and train a doctoral student for this project and as such the Company shall pay the University 25,837 Euros ($30,268 USD). In exchange for full ownership of the intellectual property, the Company agreed to pay royalties of 2% of net revenues to the University.
On November 17, 2020, the Company effected a one-for-one thousand (1:1,000) reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Proportional adjustments for the Reverse Stock Split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans. All share and per-share data and amounts have been retroactively adjusted as of the earliest period presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Report. The results discussed below are of the Company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Propanc PTY LTD.
Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2019
Revenue
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, we generated no revenue because we are currently undertaking research and development activities for market approval and no sales were generated in this period.
Administration Expense
Administration expense decreased to $216,179 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to $1,375,971 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. This decrease of approximately $1,160,000 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $1,060,000 in stock-based expenses for services, decrease of approximately $23,000 in capital raising costs, decrease in general consulting, legal and investor relation fees of approximately $46,000, decrease in insurance expense of approximately $32,000, decrease of approximately $7,000 in marketing and market research expense, decrease of approximately $12,000 of other general and administrative expenses and, offset by increase of approximately $4,000 in employee remuneration expense and increase in accounting fees of approximately $16,000.

This decrease of approximately $1,670,000 is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $1,154,000 in stock-based expenses for services, decrease of approximately $130,000 in capital raising costs, decrease in general consulting, legal, and investor relation fees of approximately $250,000, decrease in insurance expense of approximately $69,000, decrease of approximately $58,000 in marketing and market research expense, decrease in travel expenses of approximately $26,000, decrease of approximately $4,000 of other general and administrative expenses and, offset by increase of approximately $21,000 in employee remuneration expense.
Occupancy Expense
Occupancy expense increased by approximately $160 to $7,750 for the three months ended December 31, 2020.
Occupancy expense decreased by approximately $1,270 to $16,954 for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The decrease primarily relates to exchange rate movements over the period when compared to the same period in 2019.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $50,165 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $37 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Research and development expenses were $101,011 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $65,409 for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in research and development expenses is primarily attributable to completion of process development activities and preparation for commencement of the engineering run and subsequent full scale GMP manufacture of PRP for clinical trials, with the process, preparation and small-scale manufacture having been completed in the period ended December 31, 2017, which the clinical trials we hope to commence in 2021 calendar year, if we raise sufficient proceeds by raising additional capital. Completed activities include raw material purification and stabilization process development, development of analytical quality assurance and control methods, reproduction runs for raw materials, and preparation of raw materials and finished product specifications for future full scale GMP manufacture of PRP.
Interest Expense/Income
Interest expense decreased to $157,835 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $446,082 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense decreased to $317,116 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $1,121,307 for the six months ended December 31, 2019. Interest expense is primarily comprised of approximately $134,000 and $256,000 of debt discount amortization and accretion of put premium for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and interest expense from conversion fees, prepayment penalty fees and accrual of interest expense for a total of approximately $24,000 and $61,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
This decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in the issuance of convertible notes and was further reduced due to the conversion and repayment of convertible notes during the six months ended December 31, 2020 which resulted to a decrease in accretion of put premium of approximately $30,000 and $569,000 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and the decrease in amortization of debt discount of approximately $198,000 and $181,000 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, interest expense from prepayment penalty fees decreased by approximately $82,000 and $99,000 offset by increase in conversion fees and accrual of interest expense for a total of $22,000 and $45,000 during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, respectively.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities changed by $658,074, to a loss of $16,950 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to a loss of $675,024 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Change in fair value of derivative liabilities changed by $204,070, to a gain of $48,002 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to a loss of $156,068 for the six months ended December 31, 2019. This change is primarily attributable to a decrease in convertible notes with bifurcated embedded conversion option derivatives due to notes conversion and repayment during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
Gain (loss) on Extinguishment of Debt, net
During the three months ended December 31, 2020, there were no notes converted which contained bifurcated embedded conversion option derivatives as compared to a gain of $20,176 during the three months ended December 31, 2019.
During the six months ended December 31, 2020, notes were converted with principal amounts totaling $75,000 and accrued interest of $3,000 and contained bifurcated embedded conversion option derivatives. Accordingly, the fair market value of the shares issued was $134,155 resulting in a loss on extinguishment at the time of conversion of $56,155 and $106,140 of derivative fair value was recorded as a gain on extinguishment at the time of conversion.
| 6 |
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction decreased to a gain of $45,235 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with a gain of $617,561 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. Foreign currency transaction decreased to a gain of $47,195 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with a gain of $82,411 for the six months ended December 31, 2019.
The decrease in foreign currency transaction gain is primarily attributable to the increase in exchange rates during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to during the three and six months ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, effective fiscal year 2021, the parent company determined that intercompany loans will not be repaid in the foreseeable future and thus, per ASC 830-20-35-3, gains and losses from measuring the intercompany balances are recorded within cumulative translation adjustment, a component of other comprehensive income.
Benefit (provision) for taxes
During the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had provision for tax in the amount of $0 and $143, respectively. During the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company applied for and received from the Australian Taxation Office a research and development tax credit in the amount of $0 and $108,751, respectively.
Net loss
Net loss decreased to $403,643 for the three months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $1,867,109 for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The change relates to the factors discussed above. Net loss decreased to $829,188 for the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a net loss of $3,359,049 for the six months ended December 31, 2019. The change relates to the factors discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Current Financial Condition
As of December 31, 2020, we had total assets of $40,616, comprised primarily of cash of $21,243, GST tax receivable of $1,940, property and equipment, net, of $5,422 and operating lease right of use asset, net, $9,699. As compared to June 30, 2020, we had total assets of $98,518, comprised primarily of cash of $67,007, GST tax receivable of $2,015, property and equipment, net, of $5,747 and operating lease right of use asset, net, $21,682.
We had current liabilities of $3,648,657, primarily comprised of net convertible debt of $1,209,186, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,890,086 and embedded conversion option liabilities of $22,867 as of December 31, 2020. As compared to June 30, 2020, we had current liabilities of $3,739,943, primarily comprised of net convertible debt of $1,557,734, accounts payable and accrued expenses of $1,544,387 and embedded conversion option liabilities of $354,109.
We have funded our operations primarily through the issuance of equity and/or convertible securities for cash. The cash was used primarily for payments for research and development, administration expenses, occupancy expenses, professional fees, consultants and travel.
During the six months ended December 31, 2020 we received proceeds from exercise of warrants of $201,044 and proceeds from issuance of convertible notes of $200,000.
We have substantial capital resource requirements and have incurred significant losses since inception. As of December 31, 2020, we had $21,243 in cash. We depend upon debt and/or equity financing to fund our ongoing operations and to execute our current business plan. 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 12 months. If continued funding and capital resources are unavailable at reasonable terms, we may curtail our plan of operations. We will be required to obtain alternative or additional financing from financial institutions, investors or otherwise, in order to maintain and expand our existing operations. The failure by us to obtain such financing would have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations, and adversely affecting our ability to complete ongoing activities in connection with our research and development programs.

Net Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $440,975 for the six months ended December 31, 2020, due to our net loss of $829,188 offset primarily by non-cash charges of amortization of debt discount of $126,299, stock-based compensation of $41,436, non-cash interest expense of $8,250, accretion of put premium of $129,333 addback foreign currency transaction gain of $47,195, $48,002 of change in fair value of derivatives and $49,985 gain on extinguishment of debt. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $227,133, which is primarily attributable to increase in accounts payable of $77,749, employee benefit liability of $24,497, accrued expenses of $85,297, and accrued interest of $38,027.
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,142,877 for the six months ended December 31, 2019, due to our net loss of $3,359,049 offset primarily by non-cash charges of amortization of debt discount of $307,085, stock-based compensation of $1,174,818, accretion of put premium of $698,307, $156,068 of change in fair value of derivatives addback foreign currency transaction gain of $82,411, and gain on extinguishment of debt of $20,176. Net changes in operating assets and liabilities totaled $(18,789), which is primarily attributable to decreases in accounts payable of $93,233, accrued expenses of $134,768, prepaid expenses and other assets of $76,990 and offset by increase in employee benefit liability of $15,829, and accrued interest of $111,448.
Net Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $358,044 as compared to $1,130,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2019. During the six months ended December 31, 2020 we received proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $201,044 and proceeds from issuance of convertible notes of $200,000 offset by repayments of convertible notes of $43,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2019, we received proceeds from the sale of convertible promissory notes of $1,130,000.
Effect of Exchange Rate
The effect of the exchange rate on cash resulted in a $37,167 positive adjustment to cash flows in the six months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to a positive adjustment of $22,505 to cash flows in the six months ended December 31, 2019. The reason for the fluctuation is due to the application of currency translation rates throughout the cash flow statement, the volume of transactions within each period and the daily fluctuation in exchange rates.
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 our 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 wholly owned subsidiary’s functional currency is the AUD. For financial reporting purposes, the Australian Dollar (“AUD”) has been translated into USD as the Company’s 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). Effective fiscal year 2021, the parent company determined that intercompany loans will not be repaid in the foreseeable future and thus, per ASC 830-20-35-3, gains and losses from measuring the intercompany balances are recorded within cumulative translation adjustment, a component of other comprehensive income.

Accounting for Income Taxes: We are governed by Australian and United States income tax laws, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office and the United States Internal Revenue Service, respectively. We follow 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: We record 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. We value any employee or non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
We account for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 718.
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, we record the fair value of the conversion shares, remove the fair value of the related derivative liability, remove any discounts and record a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
Convertible Notes with Variable Conversion Options: We have 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 or around a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. We treat these convertible notes as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and measure 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 record the put premium as accretion to interest expense.
Research and Development Tax Credits: We 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, we do 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 we have net income then we can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If we have net losses, then we may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, our 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.
Leases: In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The updated guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for most operating leases. In addition, the updated guidance requires that lessors separate lease and non-lease components in a contract in accordance with the new revenue guidance in ASC 606. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted this guidance effective July 1, 2019.
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, applying the package of practical expedients to leases that commenced before the effective date whereby the Company elected to not reassess the following: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases and; (ii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. For contracts entered into on or after the effective date, at the inception of a contract the Company assessed whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The Company’s assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether it has the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company will allocate the consideration in the contract to each lease component based on its relative stand-alone price to determine the lease payments.
Operating lease ROU assets represents the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company use an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see section captioned “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.
Going Concern Qualification
We did not generate any revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and 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 audit report for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. In addition, we have negative working capital and convertible debt that is past maturity that we are currently negotiating with lenders in order to amend the maturity dates. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the issue date of this report. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our strategy and on our ability to raise additional funds and/or to consummate a public offering. Management is currently seeking additional funds, primarily through the issuance of equity and/or debt securities for cash to operate our business. No assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in case of equity and/or convertible debt financing. 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.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis because of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Material Weaknesses and Corrective Actions
In connection with the audits of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we identified certain deficiencies relating to our internal control over financial reporting that constitute a material weakness under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). The PCAOB defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
| 10 |
The following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting continued to exist at December 31, 2020:
| ● | we do not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”); | |
| ● | we do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our limited size and early-stage nature of operations, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible; however, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals; | |
| ● | lack of audit committee of our board of directors; and | |
| ● | insufficient monitoring and review controls over the financial reporting closing process, including the lack of individuals with current knowledge of U.S. GAAP. |
We believe that these material weaknesses primarily relate, in part, to our lack of sufficient staff with appropriate training in U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations with respect to financial reporting functions, and the lack of robust accounting systems, as well as the lack of sufficient resources to hire such staff and implement these accounting systems.
Subject to raising sufficient additional capital, we plan to take a number of actions in the future to correct these material weaknesses including, but not limited to, establishing an audit committee of our board of directors comprised of at least two independent directors, adding experienced accounting and financial personnel and retaining third-party consultants to review our internal controls and recommend improvements. We will need to take additional measures to fully mitigate these issues, and the measures we have taken, and expect to take, to improve our internal controls may not be sufficient to (1) address the issues identified, (2) ensure that our internal controls are effective or (3) ensure that the identified material weakness or other material weaknesses will not result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements. In addition, other material weaknesses may be identified in the future. If we are unable to correct deficiencies in internal controls in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC will be adversely affected. This failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
A complaint against us, dated September 26, 2019, has been filed by Foley Shechter Ablovatskiy (“Foley Shechter”), our former counsel, seeking $151,031 in legal fees, in addition to interest and costs of suit. The Company believes these claims to be unfounded and is vigorously defending itself. To that end, on November 20, 2019 the Company filed a motion to dismiss certain counts of the complaint, with prejudice. Oral argument was presented in November 2020, where the court dismissed certain counts of the complaint filed by Foley Shechter, whilst maintaining other counts. The Company shall file an answer, together with affirmative defenses and counterclaims. The counterclaims shall include, without limitation, malpractice claims arising out of Foley Shechter’s grossly negligent mishandling of certain transactions and excessive billing related thereto.
Regal Consulting, LLC (“Regal”) initiated litigation against the Company in Clark County District Court, Nevada. Regal is demanding approximately $400,000 and 60 shares of the Company’s common stock as payment for services that Regal purports to have performed. Regal additionally claims that $106,500 remains due on a Convertible Note executed by the Company in May of 2017, and asserts that it is owed in excess of $100,000 in penalties in connection with the Company’s refusal to honor certain Conversion Notices. The Company filed an Answer and Counterclaim, denying liability and alleging that Regal procured by fraud the Company’s execution of various consulting agreements and additionally failed to provide the consulting services contemplated by said agreements.
| 11 |
On December 23, 2020, the parties mediated their dispute and are in the process of negotiating a potential settlement agreement.
Other than as set forth above, we are not currently involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. In addition, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our Company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or any of our subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report as discussed below, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on November 3, 2020. 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 Quarterly Report.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus) caused by a novel strain of the coronavirus was recognized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, and the outbreak has become increasingly widespread in the United States, Europe and Australia, including in each of the areas in which we operate. The COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak has had a notable impact on general economic conditions, including but not limited to the temporary closures of many businesses, “shelter in place” and other governmental regulations, reduced business and consumer spending due to both job losses, reduced investing activity and M&A transactions, among many other effects attributable to the COVID-19 (coronavirus), and there continue to be many unknowns. While to date we have not been required to stop operating, management is evaluating its use of its office space, virtual meetings and the like. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak closely. The extent to which the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak will impact our operations, ability to obtain financing or future financial results is uncertain.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Shares issued for conversion of convertible debt
From October 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, the Company issued an aggregate of 702,623 shares of its common stock at an average contractual conversion price of $0.20, ranging from $0.15 to $0.34, as a result of the conversion of total principal, interest and conversion fees of $141,829 underlying certain outstanding convertible notes converted during such period.
Except as otherwise noted, the securities in the transactions describe above were sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving any public offering. Each of the persons acquiring the foregoing securities was an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) and confirmed the foregoing and acknowledged, in writing, that the securities must be acquired and held for investment. All certificates evidencing the shares sold bore a restrictive legend. No underwriter participated in the offer and sale of these securities, and no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly in connection therewith. The proceeds from these sales were used for general corporate purposes.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
As of December 31, 2020, we were in default under certain convertible promissory note issued to certain noteholders on August 10, 2017, August 30, 2019, October 1, 2019 and October 3, 2019 for failure to pay an aggregate of $320,423 of principal and accrued interest as of December 31, 2020, subsequent to their maturity dates. We are currently in discussions with such noteholders to extend such maturity dates. See Note 6 – Convertible Notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report for additional information.
