Note 1 - Organization of the Company and Description of the Business
Q BioMed Inc. (“Q BioMed”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries Q BioMed Cayman SEZC and QBMG Q BioMed Germany UG (collectively, the “Company”), is a biomedical acceleration and development company focused on licensing, acquiring and providing strategic resources to life sciences and healthcare companies. Q BioMed intends to mitigate risk by acquiring multiple assets over time and across a broad spectrum of healthcare related products, companies and sectors. The Company intends to develop these assets to provide returns via organic growth, revenue production, out-licensing, sale or the spinoff of new public companies.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim period unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2021 that was filed with SEC on February 28, 2022. Certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the SEC. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim period operating results may not be indicative of the operating results for a full year.
Certain prior period amounts related to Inventory within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. There was no change to prior period current or total assets.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has and is expected to incur net losses and cash outflows from operations in pursuit of extracting value from its acquired intellectual property. These matters, amongst others, raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management anticipates that the Company will have to raise additional funds and/or generate revenue from drug sales within twelve months to continue operations. Additional funding will be needed to implement the Company’s business plan that includes various expenses such as fulfilling our obligations under licensing agreements, legal, operational set-up, general and administrative, marketing, employee salaries and other related start-up expenses. Obtaining additional funding will be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan and initial results from our business operations. These factors may impact the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing available to us. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient funds, management will be forced to scale back the Company’s operations or cease its operations.
Management has determined that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

COVID 19
The impact of the worldwide spread of a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) has been unprecedented and unpredictable, but based on the Company’s current assessment, the Company does not expect any material impact on its long-term strategic plans, operations and its liquidity due to the worldwide spread of COVID-19. However, the Company is continuing to assess the effect on its operations by monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and the actions implemented to combat the virus throughout the world and its assessment of the impact of COVID-19 may change.
The Impact of Russian Military Action in Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine, which has resulted in conflict and disruption in the region. The Company is monitoring the conflict in Ukraine and any broader economic effects from the crisis. To date, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not had a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, or result of operations.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021 included in the Company’s Form 10-K.
Modification of Equity Classified Awards
From time-to-time equity classified awards may be modified. On the modification date, the Company estimates the fair value of the awards immediately before and immediately after modification. The incremental increase in fair value is recognized as expense immediately to the extent the underlying equity awards are vested and on a straight-line basis over the same remaining amortization schedule as the unvested underlying equity awards. The classification of stock-based awards, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is re-assessed on the modification date.
Induced Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company accounts for gains or losses on extinguishment of equity-classified preferred stock as deemed dividends, to be included in the net loss per common stockholder used to calculate earnings per share. The difference between (1) the fair value of the consideration transferred to the holders of the preferred stock and (2) the carrying amount of the preferred stock (net of issuance costs) is subtracted from (or added to) net loss to arrive at net loss available to common stockholders in the calculation of earnings per share.
Sequencing Policy
The Company adopted a sequencing policy under ASC 815-40-35 (“ASC 815”) whereby in the event that reclassification of contracts from equity to liabilities is necessary pursuant to ASC 815 due to the Company’s inability to demonstrate it has sufficient authorized shares as a result of certain financial instruments with a potentially indeterminable number of shares, shares will be allocated on the basis of the earliest issuance date of potentially dilutive financial instruments, with the earliest financial instruments receiving the first allocation of shares. Pursuant to ASC 815, issuance of stock-based awards to the Company’s employees, nonemployees or directors recognized under ASC 718 are not subject to the sequencing policy. Any modifications of awards (e.g., options or warrants) that remain subject to vesting, or any modifications of awards that continue to be held by active employees, are not subject to the sequencing policy. Modifications of vested awards held by nonemployees are subject to the sequencing policy.
Recent Accounting Standards
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). This ASU reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU provides guidance for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that is not within the scope of another Topic. It
7
specifically addresses: (1) how an entity should treat a modification of the terms or conditions or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; (2) how an entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange; and (3) how an entity should recognize the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange. This ASU will be effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of ASU 2021-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance on December 1, 2021, on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption resulted in approximately $291,000 decrease in additional paid in capital from the derecognition of the bifurcated equity component, $208,000 increase in debt from the derecognition of the discount associated with the bifurcated equity component and $83,000 decrease to the opening balance of accumulated deficit.
Note 4 - Loss per share
Basic net loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. The table below summarizes potentially dilutive securities that were not considered in the computation of diluted net loss per share because they would be anti-dilutive (amounts are rounded to nearest thousand).

Convertible Notes Payable
February Debenture
On February 12, 2021, the Company issued a debenture for $0.5 million (the “February Debenture”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor dated February 12, 2021. The February Debenture may be converted at any time on or prior to maturity at the lower of $1.15 or 93% of the average of the four lowest daily VWAPs during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, provided that as long as we are not in default under the 2020 Debenture, the conversion price may never be less than $1.00. The debenture has a maturity date of February 12, 2022, provided that in case of an event of default, the debenture may become at the holder’s election immediately due and payable. The debenture bears interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum, and on issuance, the Company paid to the holder a commitment fee equal to 2% of the amount of the debenture.
On January 21, 2022, the Company issued 1,055,000 shares of common stock to convert $0.5 million of outstanding debt and interest. The conversion price was reduced to $0.50. The Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $0.2 million as a result of the reduction of conversion price for the six months ended May 31, 2022.
July Debenture
On July 26, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor, pursuant to which the Company sold a convertible debenture (the “July Debenture”) in the principal amount of $806,250 and a warrant to purchase up to 645,000 shares of common stock (the “Warrant”) for a total purchase price of $750,000.
The July Debenture has a maturity date of April 26, 2022, provided that in case of an event of default, the debenture may become at the holder’s election immediately due and payable. The July Debenture carries an interest rate of 10% per annum, provided that any principal or interest which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 15% per annum from the due date until payment (the “Default Interest”). The Company may prepay the Debenture at 120% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount within the first 60 days of issuance and at 130% of the sum of the outstanding principal amount, the accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount and any Default Interest from 61 to 180 days after issuance.
The holder may convert the July Debenture in its sole discretion at any time on or prior to maturity at the lower of $1.00 or 85% of the average of the four (4) lowest VWAPs during the 20 Trading Days prior to the date of such calculation. The “Variable Conversion Price” shall equal, subject to an initial floor price of $0.35 (the “Floor Price”), the lower of $1.00 and 85% of the average of the four (4) lowest VWAPs during the 20 Trading Days prior to the date of such calculation. The initial Floor Price shall be readjusted to $0.10 if following the Issue Date, VWAP of the Company shall be less than $0.35 for a total of ten days.
On December 15, 2021, the Company and the holder entered into a Mutual Release Agreement pursuant to which the holder agreed to add the $241,875 to the outstanding principal balance of July Debenture, for no consideration received by the Company, in order to resolve a breach of certain registration provisions of the securities purchase agreement.
The July Debenture is past maturity and is currently in default. However, the Company has not received any default notice from the holder.
During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, the Company issued an aggregate 1,162,790 and 1,685,438 shares of common stock to convert $0.1 million and $0.3 million of outstanding debt, respectively.
September Debenture
On September 29, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor (“Lender”), pursuant to which the Company sold a convertible debenture (the “September Debenture”) in the principal amount of $2,200,000 with twelve-months term. The September Debenture includes an original issue discount of $185,000 and $15,000 for the payment of the Lender’s legal fees and carries an interest rate of 6% per annum. The Company also incurred other issuance cost of $247,350. On October 26, 2021, the September Debenture maturity date was extended for additional 3 months to December 29, 2022.
9
The Company may prepay the September Debenture at 105% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest within the first 60 days of issuance, at 112% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest from 61-120 days after issuance and at 124% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest from 121-180 days after issuance. The Debenture may not be prepaid after 180 days.
The Lender has the right to convert all or any amount of the outstanding aggregate principal amount at any time at a fixed conversion price of $1.00 per share. The conversion price after six months shall be fixed to $0.50 per share.
However, in the event the Company’s Common Stock trades below $0.50 per share for more than ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Lender is entitled to convert all or any amount of the outstanding aggregate principal amount into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a Conversion Price for each share of Common Stock equal to 85% of the average of the 4 lowest VWAP’s in the prior 20 trading days. As a result of entering into the “September Debenture”, for which such instruments contained a variable conversion feature with no floor, the Company has adopted sequencing policy (see Note 3).
On April 8, 2022, the Company issued 245,000 shares of common stock as commitment shares pursuant to the securities purchase agreement. The commitment to issue the shares was valued at the Effective Date fair value of approximately $0.2 million and recognized as an additional debt discount. The commitment is a forward contract, recognized at fair value, as a result of applying the Company’s sequencing policy, and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations until settled on April 8, 2022.
On May 12, 2022, the Company issued 726,903 shares of common stock to convert approximately $0.1 million of outstanding debt.

Note 6 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
Periodically, the Company reviews the status of significant matters, if any exist, and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal claim is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, the Company accrues a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, the Company reassesses the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation.
On March 31, 2022, the Company received a complaint filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Buck County, Pennsylvania claiming that the Company had failed to pay approximately $106,000 in fees for services provided under two master services agreements that the
10
Company entered into with the plaintiff. Under those agreements, the plaintiff was to have provided services in connection with the promotion of the Company’s Strontium-89 product. The Company is analyzing how to respond to this recently received complaint.
On July 12, 2022, the Company received notice that WSI PBG, LLC (“WSI”) filed a complaint for fees it alleges are due in the amount of $196,216 plus fees and expenses for consulting services provided by WSI as a result of a May 6, 2021 Master Professional Services Agreement.

The initial term of the agreement ended in December 2019, and the Company has renewed its office lease agreement for another three years with the same terms. This agreement does not identify a specific asset and does not convey the use of substantially all of the shared office capacity. As such, this agreement does not contain a lease under ASC 842. The Company recognizes monthly license payments as incurred over the term of the arrangement.
Rent expense is classified within general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis.

The key factors that are not within our control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, acceptance of our services, our ability to create and expand our customer base, managements’ ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry.
There may be other risks and circumstances that management may be unable to predict. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as, “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although there may be certain forward-looking statements not accompanied by such expressions.
Overview
Q BioMed Inc. (or “the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 22, 2013 and is a commercial stage biomedical acceleration and development company focused on licensing, acquiring and providing strategic resources to life sciences and healthcare companies. We intend to mitigate risk by acquiring multiple assets over time and across a broad spectrum of healthcare related products, companies and sectors. We intend to develop these assets to provide returns via organic growth, revenue production, out-licensing, sale or spin out. Our mission is to solve problems by accelerating the development of important therapies and availability of those therapies to patients.
The focus for 2022 is to monetize the current pipeline and build a platform for future growth. There are three areas of focus: commercial product revenue growth, partnerships or collaborations value and future development platform.
Commercial Product
The Company is pleased to report that its second quarter revenues in 2022 are up over 100% from its first quarter revenues and up over 300% from the second quarter of 2021, representing the best quarter result for sales despite market conditions that the Company believes are making additional investment into the sales effort challenging. The Company also believes that it is making progress with the required data package to complete additional regulatory filings that may facilitate entry into other international jurisdictions.
We believe that Strontium89 has great potential in the cancer palliation space. As a result of a world in which opioids were a treatment of choice for those patients unlucky enough to be diagnosed with painful metastatic cancers in the bone, we felt that Strontium89 had become a neglected and forgotten drug. We have stayed committed to our belief that Strontium89 was a valuable treatment and have focused on advancing that asset from concept, a neglected drug, to a fully approved, reimbursed commercial product. Since we acquired Strontium89, we have built an infrastructure to commercialize the product, including manufacturing, branding, pharmacovigilance, reporting, federal supply contract, and entering into distribution agreements in the United States and several other countries. We believe that our last remaining investment is now focused on a sales team to promote the drug both in federal and non-government institutions and clinics. Revenue has started to grow even without a sales force fully deployed. Our recent partnership with a sales organization is in place, and once funded we plan to capitalize on the groundwork in place. We expect revenues to grow steadily and over the next 12-18 months.
We are also assessing additional products in nuclear medicine that could complement our infrastructure and provide additional revenue opportunities.
17
Partnership or Collaboration Opportunities
UTTROSIDE B – Liver Cancer Chemotherapeutic
Along with our developmental partners, we are advancing an innovative treatment for liver cancer, a disease indication that currently has a high unmet need. This molecule was identified in India, traditionally used to treat liver ailments. Subsequent research on that isolated molecule showed promising data, indicating that the molecule was more cytotoxic, killing cancer cells more effectively, in liver cancer cells lines than the current first line liver cancer chemotherapeutic. We have advanced this from a naturally occurring unsustainable plant product to a commercially viable and scalable synthetic drug candidate. This provides an opportunity to partner this asset with a larger oncology focused institution. Currently, there are only two approved first-line liver cancer therapies. We have received Orphan Drug Designation, and we are now preparing to advance this toward clinical partnership. In the light of the recently announced data, the company has been approached and is assessing partnership opportunities for Uttroside B, its chemotherapeutic drug candidate for liver cancer. There are very few options for these patients and the company believes this is a very promising drug and looks forward to working with potential partners to bring it to the clinic.
Drug Platform Development
Mannin
Our Mannin drug platform development program is making good progress and aims to have a clinical trial in ARDS (acute respiratory disease syndrome), one of three initial indications, completed in the next 8 months. Data from this trial will support the filings for further indications, including kidney disease and glaucoma. Combined, the addressable market for these therapies is over $150 billion. It is the company’s intent to convert its current royalty agreement with Mannin into an equity position that will add real asset value to the balance sheet. The Company expects this value to grow as the asset progresses through the near and mid-term milestones that it expects over the next 6 to 18 months requiring little capital from QBioMed. The Mannin programs are substantially supported now by non-dilutive funding from the governments of Canada and Germany underpinning the value and importance of this platform to provide much needed drugs.
Rare Disease Focus
During 2022 we will focus our future development platform on the Rare Disease Space. This focusses our resources on an area in which we already have a presence. Our liver cancer drug candidate, Uttroside B, has already received Orphan Drug Designation. We expect to partner this asset in 2022 and will grow our development platform through in-licensing or acquisition.
This rare disease platform will also complement our early-stage treatment for young minimally verbal children on the Autism Spectrum. While our immediate focus is on the above-mentioned assets, we are also developing a new drug candidate to treat young children with pediatric minimally verbal autism. The advancement of this program will depend on the availability of funds and resources as we prioritize our clinical development milestones. There is no effective treatment available to help an estimated 250,000 children born with the condition worldwide each year, 20,000 of them in the United States. We are working on a discovery and development program to address this highly unmet need.
Corporate Strategic Goals
Our mission is to solve problems by accelerating the development of important therapies and the availability of those therapies to patients. We have been busy building a portfolio that we believe has significant value ranging from blockbuster potential drugs to revenue-producing opportunities Since Q BioMed’s inception 5 years ago, the Company has brought a product to market, started generating revenue, supported the development of a drug platform that addresses major therapeutic markets and developed a new liver cancer chemotherapeutic previously believed to be impossible to synthesize. We believe that each of the opportunities being advancing has significant potential in multi-billion-dollar markets.

Financial Overview
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates. Other than as set out in Note 3 to our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, if anything, we believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies as described in the Form 10-K.

Net Sales
During the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $170,000 and $45,000, respectively, of revenue from sales of Strontium89. The increase was due to more vials were sold during the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of Sales
During the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $73,000 and $46,000, respectively, in cost of sales. These costs were related to raw materials cost, manufacturing cost, handling cost and write-offs of expired inventory.
The increase in cost of sales was due to more production and sales during the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
The gross margins increased dramatically due to the increased sales and less inventory written off during the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. We expect our gross margins to remain robust in 2022 and 2023 but the net margin will continue to be affected by write offs due to the inherent short shelf life of radiopharmaceutical drugs.
19
Operating expenses
We incur various costs and expenses in the execution of our business. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to less costs from marketing, legal and other professional services during the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense
The following table summarizes interest expense incurred during the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (amounts are rounded to nearest thousand):

The Company sold additional convertible debentures in July and September 2021, which resulted in the embedded derivative liabilities and corresponded debt discount increased during the three months ended May 31, 2022. Due to the increased amount of debt discount, the change in the accretion of the debt discount was significantly increased as well during the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Change in fair value of derivatives
We recognized a gain and loss of approximately $124,000 and $10,000, resulting from the change in fair value of embedded contingent put options in convertible notes and derivative liabilities during the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fluctuation is mainly due to the increased amount of outstanding convertible notes in 2022 and derivative liabilities due the sequencing policy, and change of our stock price during the reporting periods.
Net loss
During the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of approximately $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively. Our management expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, due to our need to continue to establish a broader pipeline of assets, expenditure on R&D and to implement other aspects of our business plan.

Net Sales
During the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $246,000 and $45,000, respectively, of revenue from sales of Strontium89. The increase was due to more vials were sold during the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Cost of Sales
During the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $147,000 and $87,000, respectively, in cost of sales. These costs were related to raw materials cost, manufacturing cost, handling cost and write-offs of expired inventory.
The increase in cost of sales was due to more production and sales during the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
The gross margins increased dramatically due to the increased sales and less inventory written off during the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. We expect our gross margins to remain robust in 2022 and 2023 but the net margin will continue to be affected by write offs due to the inherent short shelf life of radiopharmaceutical drugs.
Operating expenses
We incur various costs and expenses in the execution of our business. The decrease in operating expenses was mainly due to significantly less stock-based compensation recognized in the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year. We recognized approximately $0.7 million and $2.0 million of stock-based compensation in general and administrative expense during the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, we incurred less costs from marketing, legal and other professional services during the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.

The Company sold additional convertible debentures in July and September 2021, which resulted in the embedded derivative liabilities and corresponded debt discount increased during the six months ended May 31, 2022. Due to the increased amount of debt discount, the change in the accretion of the debt discount was significantly increased as well during the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in the prior year.
Change in fair value of derivatives
We recognized a loss of approximately $118,000 and $27,000, resulting from the change in fair value of embedded contingent put options in convertible notes and warrant liability during the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The fluctuation is mainly due to the increased amount of outstanding convertible notes in 2022 and derivative liabilities due the sequencing policy, and change of our stock price during the reporting periods.
Loss on debt extinguishment
We recognized a loss of approximately $232,000 and $56,000 due to the exchange of outstanding debentures for shares of common stock during the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Settlement of registration liability
During the six months ended May 31, 2022, we entered into a Mutual Release Agreement with a holder of our convertible note, pursuant to which, the holder agreed to add the $241,875 registration payment liability to the outstanding principal amount. We recognized a loss of $241,875 in settlement of the registration liability for the six months ended May 31, 2022.
Net loss
During the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred net losses of approximately $3.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Our management expects to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, due to our need to continue to establish a broader pipeline of assets, expenditure on R&D and to implement other aspects of our business plan.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.
We have not yet established an ongoing source of significant revenues and must cover our operating costs through debt and equity financings to allow us to continue as a going concern. We had approximately $27,000 in cash as of May 31, 2022. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on the ability to obtain adequate capital to fund operating losses until we generate adequate cash flows from operations to fund our operating costs and obligations. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to expanding revenue generating sales efforts and ongoing research and development costs. We estimate our capital expenditures will be approximately $7.0 million for the next 18 months period.
22
We depend upon our ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure equity and/or debt financing. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Our management determined that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued, and management’s concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern within the year following this report persist.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

The net cash provided in the 2021 period relates to proceeds received from the issuance of common stock and debentures.
Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
Periodically, we review the status of significant matters, if any exist, and assess their potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from any claim or legal claim is considered probable and the amount can be estimated, we accrue a liability for the estimated loss. Legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties, and the outcomes are difficult to predict. Because of such uncertainties, accruals are based on the best information available at the time. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to pending claims and litigation.
On March 31, 2022, we received a complaint filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Buck County, Pennsylvania claiming that we had failed to pay approximately $106,000 in fees for services provided under two master services agreements that we entered into with the plaintiff. Under those agreements, the plaintiff was to have provided services in connection with the promotion of our Strontium-89 product. We are analyzing how to respond to this recently received complaint.
23
On July 12, 2022, we received notice that WSI PBG, LLC (“WSI”) filed a complaint for fees it alleges are due in the amount of $196,216 plus fees and expenses for consulting services provided by WSI as a result of a May 6, 2021 Master Professional Services Agreement. We have not filed an answer and is currently determining its next steps.
Advisory Agreements
We entered into customary consulting arrangements with various counterparties to provide consulting services, business development and investor relations services, pursuant to which we agreed to issue shares of common stock as services are received.
On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an engagement letter agreement (“Agreement”) with EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (“EF Hutton”) to effectuate the Corporation’s Firm Commitment Public Offering and Uplisting and to engage EF Hutton to act as the placement agent for a bridge or other private offering consisting of approximately $2 million. The Company shall be responsible for EF Hutton’s external counsel legal costs irrespective of whether the Offering is consummated or not, subject to a maximum of $50,000 in the event that there is not a Closing.
Lease Agreement
In December 2016, we entered into a lease agreement for office space located in Cayman Islands for $30,000 per annum. The initial term of the agreement ended in December 2019 and has been further renewed for another three years. This agreement does not identify a specific asset and does not convey the use of substantially all of the shared office capacity. As such, this agreement does not contain a lease under ASC 842. We recognize monthly license payments as incurred over the term of the arrangement.
Rent expense is classified within general and administrative expenses on a straight-line basis.
Related Party Transactions
We entered into consulting agreements with certain management personnel and stockholders for consulting and legal services. Consulting and legal expenses resulting from such agreements were included within general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows (amounts are rounded to nearest thousand):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2022, because of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is 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. Specifically, the Company’s management has concluded that our lack of segregation of duties, lack of in-house personnel with sufficient experience with U.S. GAAP to address the accounting for complex financial instruments, and lack of oversight over our external financial reporting and internal controls are deficiencies which, in combination, could reasonably result in a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In light of these material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis as deemed necessary to ensure
24
that our unaudited interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that the unaudited condensed financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q present fairly in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the period presented.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We do not have an Audit Committee; our board of directors currently acts as our Audit Committee. Only one of our three directors is an independent director, and none of our directors is considered a “Financial Expert,” within the meaning of Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We have interviewed additional potential independent directors, but have not engaged any.
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report, which has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We plan to enhance our processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to our financial statements. Our plans at this time include providing enhanced access to accounting literature, research materials and documents and increased communication among our personnel and third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. We have engaged accounting and compliance consultants to review our internal controls over financial reporting and other compliance requirements.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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 must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
