Overview
Effective November 15, 2019, the Company and Texas MDI, Inc. (TMDI), a Texas corporation, entered into a sublicense agreement (the Agreement) whereby the Company acquired access to certain technology regarding the RxoidTM metered dose inhaler that TMDI has licensed from EM3 Methodologies, LLC (EM3) under the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement (the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement). The term of the Agreement is from November 15, 2019 until expiration of the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement. The expiration date of the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement is October 1, 2021, however, it is renewable for successive two-year terms, subject to the payment of additional consideration by TMDI to EM3 or meeting certain continuing volume commitments. In conjunction with execution of the Agreement, the Company issued a total of 140,000,000 shares of Common Stock to TMDI.
Pursuant to the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement, TMDI has obtained an exclusive license from EM3 to research, develop, make, have made, use, offer to sell, contract fill, export and/or import and commercialize the Licensed Products (as defined) using EM3s proprietary Desirick Procedure which enables the production of a so-called metered dose inhaler (MDI) using hemp cannabinoid derivatives under the RxoidTM brand or on a white label basis. The MDI is a proven medical technology which is a complete replacement for vape cartridges and e-cigarettes without the typical dangers to cannabinoid (CBD) users. A cannabinoid MDI which is properly developed and manufactured delivers medication directly to a users blood stream through the pulmonary tract. MDIs are generally sterile, stable, will not oxidize and have a long shelf life not affected by light or temperature. MDIs require neither heat or batteries. MDIs are efficient devices to deliver medication to humans whether systemically or topically. Bioavailability of the Companys MDI approaches 98%. The Company uses only FDA listed consumables (cans, valves, actuators, and propellant) and equipment in compliance with current good manufacturing processes (cGMP) to produce their products. All excipients have long been held to be GRAS for inhalation. The Company currently has over a dozen proprietary blends of CBD some of which contain CBG and/or proprietary terpenes to help support many common complaints such as pain, inflammation, anxiety, sleep, exercise, recovery and allergies. The Company makes no claims that any of its products have any therapeutic benefits or that they treat any diseases.
During the term of the Agreement, the Company shall be required to reimburse TMDI to the extent that TMDI is required to make any payments to EM3, pursuant to the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement, as a result of the Agreement. The Companys obligation to make such reimbursements to TMDI is conditioned upon TMDI providing the Company with an advance notice requesting such payments, along with an accounting showing the calculations for such payments. Accordingly, the Company has an obligation to reimburse TMDI in the amount of $200,000 as a license fee covering the first two years of the Agreement. The Company has partially satisfied this obligation by making an equipment purchase on behalf of the licensor in the amount of $135,000, and has agreed to pay the remaining license fee of $65,000 in cash within a 24 month period (for which, the Company has recorded a liability for the unpaid portion of this amount in accounts payable as of March 31, 2020). The Company has recorded the entire $200,000 license fee as an intangible asset and the amount is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over a 24-month period (of which, $37,500 was amortized in the period from November 15, 2019 to March 31, 2020).
With execution of the Agreement, the Company has adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities in the greater aerosol manufacturing space not limited to cannabinoids. This business strategy will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM MDI technology that is being sublicensed from TMDI. The market for such products includes, but is not limited to, prospective healthcare providers, pharmacies and other parties such as major retailers and wholesale medical distributors. Finally, the Company will utilize a robust direct marketing campaign on the internet, where legal. Although the sub-license with EM3 is exclusive to manufacturing in the States of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada, RxoidTM or any other aerosol product manufactured by the Company related to the licensed technology may be marketed and produced world-wide on a non-exclusive basis, where legal. Simultaneously, the Company

exited from its previous operations in the bitcoin mining business, which had been suspended since the middle of 2018.
Corporate History
We were incorporated on February 22, 2013 as PowerMedChairs, a Nevada corporation. Since the time of our incorporation until February 2018, our plan of operation was to re-build primarily electric/power wheelchairs in disrepair. On June 2, 2017, we changed our name to Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc. In February 2018, we ceased this business and commenced our blockchain mining business through our acquisition of Power Blockchain, LLC (Power Blockchain) described below.
On February 1, 2018, we entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain from the two owners of that company in exchange for the issuance of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.2 million. Upon consummation of the exchange agreement, Power Blockchain became our wholly owned subsidiary. This transaction resulted in the transition from the Companys business of repairing and selling wheelchairs to a new business of mining crypto-currency. On February 14, 2018, we were granted permission from the Kingdom of Lesotho in Africa to conduct crypto-currency mining operations in that country. Shortly thereafter, we acquired and shipped a total of 70 owned crypto-currency miners to Lesotho in order to commence crypto-currency mining operations there. Due to rapidly declining economic and market conditions in that business, however, we were never able to commence any mining operations and decided to place our mining operations in suspense in the middle of 2018.
Effective November 15, 2019, the Company and TMDI entered into a sublicense agreement (the Agreement) granting the Company access to certain technology regarding the RxoidTM MDI inhaler that TMDI has licensed from a third party. In conjunction with execution of the Agreement, the Company issued a total of 140,000,000 shares of Common Stock to TMDI, resulting in a change in control of the Company. At the same time, the Company named Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., TMDIs founder and president, as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company commenced its initial business operations under the new business strategy in early 2020. In order to more closely represent and reflect the new business strategy, the Company changed its name to Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., effective January 13, 2020.
Current Business Operations
Since our transaction with TMDI, we have operated as an innovative biotech company specializing in aerosol delivery of cannabinoids to the systemic blood stream though the pulmonary route of administration. We manufacture white label products as well as our own branded metered dose inhalers (MDI) under the Rxoid name using proprietary blends of pure cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) and/or cannabigerol (CBG). CBD is legal for human consumption in Texas and in many other states and foreign countries. The Company is also testing cannabinol (CBN) blends and psilocybin (i.e., a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms) where legal. The Company believes that it is unique in the MDI industry in that it does not use full spectrum oil or any other excipient not approved for human inhalation. The Companys MDI are made using Food and Drug Administration (FDA) listed cans, valves, actuators, propellant and excipients. The Company uses no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in its core products. However, the Company does provide consulting for formulation of THC products for a fee in legal jurisdictions, although it has no direct ownership in any THC companies or products. These consulting efforts focus solely on medical marijuana and not recreational products. RTSL is certified by the Cannabinoid MDI Certification Board (CMDICB) with respect to manufacturing of its MDI.
The cannabis plant includes numerous chemicals called cannabinoids including CBD, CBG and CBN. Cannabidiol or (CBD) and Cannabigerol or (CBG) are a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. Cannabinol or (CBN) is an oxidative degradation product of THC.
The Company markets its MDI products directly to pharmacies and physicians who treat general anxiety disorder (GAD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other stress and anxiety disorders. In addition, the Company markets to health and wellness health providers that recommend CBD and/or CBG for support of pain and inflammation. The Company currently does not sell any psilocybin products and is only testing pulmonary delivery geometry of its formulations with limited pre-clinical trials.

We encourage all customers to do their own research regarding cannabinoids, the use of MDIs and our products. We make no claims about therapeutic benefits of our products. None of our products are intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always consult a physician prior to using any cannabinoid product. If you experience any adverse reaction stop use immediately and seek appropriate medical attention. Our products are not approved by the FDA or under the Food Drug & Cosmetics Act (FD&C Act).
Regulation
The Controlled Substances Act (CSA), which became effective on May 1, 1971, is the statute establishing federal U.S. drug policy under which the manufacture, importation, possession, use, and distribution of certain substances is regulated. Under the CSA, drugs are placed into five schedules, based on varying qualifications. Two federal agencies, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), determine which substances are added to or removed from the various schedules, provided that Congress can also amend the schedules through legislation.
Cannabis generally falls within one of two categories under federal law: marijuana or hemp. Cannabis typically falls under Schedule I of the CSA. Schedule I drugs are those that have the following characteristics according to the DEA: (1) the drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse; (2) the drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical treatment use in the U.S.; and (3) it has a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.
Notwithstanding the above, on December 20, 2018, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the Farm Bill) went into effect, which regulates agricultural programs ranging from income support to rural development. The Farm Bill also legalized hemp cultivation and declassified hemp as a Schedule I controlled substance. The Farm Bill defines hemp as any part or derivative of the cannabis sativa L. plant containing less than 0.3 percent THC by weight. This definition includes hemp plants that produce the concentrated liquid extract known as cannabidiol (or CBD) oil. CBD oil is currently legal in a significant number of states and has gained market acceptance as a wellness and anti-inflammation product.
Subsequent to the passage of the Farm Bill, the FDA made clear that although hemp is no longer an illegal substance under federal law, the FDA continues to regulate cannabis products under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) as well as other federal statutes. Therefore, any cannabis product marketed with a claim of therapeutic benefit, regardless of whether it is hemp-derived, must be approved by the FDA before it can be sold.
Separately, various states have recently begun changing their laws to allow for cannabis-related activities in compliance with such new state laws, which nonetheless still violate the CSA, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal as discussed above. To our knowledge, as of the date of this filing, 47 states have changed their laws to permit the use of cannabis for medical purposes. Many other states legally allow the use of CBD oil, provided that to our knowledge, CBD is still illegal in Idaho, Iowa and South Dakota.
The State of Texas legalized the manufacturing, consumption and export of legal hemp products containing cannabinol (CBD) under Texas House Bill 1325 signed by Governor Abbott on June 10, 2019. Although the bill which is codified as Texas Health & Safety Code § 443 requires a $100 license application, the Texas Department of State Health Services has yet to set up the process to obtain the license for manufacture of legal hemp products. Regardless, the Company believes it is in complete compliance with all other requirements of § 443 and is prepared to submit its application for the license once the TDSHS website will accept the application. There is no expectation the Company will not be granted a license as it meets all known requirements.
While we believe our operations are compliant with applicable federal and state law, there are risks that our operations violate the CSA or other federal laws or state laws.
Additionally, as of the date of this report, and based upon publicly available information, while, to our knowledge the FDA has not taken any enforcement actions against CBD companies that do not make therapeutic claims, the FDA has sent warning letters to and brought enforcement actions against companies demanding they cease and desist from the production, distribution, or advertising of CBD products, relating to instances that such CBD companies have made misleading and unapproved label claims.

Market
According to a report published in December 2019, by Grand View Research, entitled Cannabidiol Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Source Type (Hemp, Marijuana), By Distribution Channel (B2B, B2C), By End Use, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2019 - 2025, [t]he global cannabidiol market was valued at USD 4.6 billion in 2018 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2% from 2019 to 2025.
Competition
The market for the sale of CBD and other non-THC-based cannabis products is fragmented and intensely competitive. We plan to compete based upon the quality of our products and method of delivery and eventually on our brand name recognition. We expect that the quantity and composition of the competitive environment will continue to evolve as the industry matures and new customers enter the marketplace.
Employees
As of March 31, 2020, we had one permanent employee and two part-time contractors/consultants.
Legal Proceedings
We are not subject to any litigation.
The following risks and uncertainties should be carefully considered in addition to the other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. If any of the following occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. An investment in our securities is speculative in nature, involves a high degree of risk and should not be made by an investor who cannot bear the economic risk of its investment for an indefinite period of time and who cannot afford the loss of its entire investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a history of operating losses, and we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability; we have recently shifted to an entirely new business and may not be successful in this new business.
We are not profitable and have incurred losses since our inception. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and these losses could increase as we continue to work to develop our business. We were previously engaged in pursuing the business of bitcoin mining and digital currency and were not successful in that business. In November 2019, we adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities involving the rapid application of therapeutics using inhaler technology that the Company has sublicensed from a third party. We have yet to commence profitable operations in that business, therefore, the Company is continuing to incur operating losses. Even if we achieve profitability in the future by adopting this new business strategy, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.
We have a limited operating history and our business is in a relatively new consumer product segment, which is difficult to forecast.
The Company has a limited operating history, which can make it difficult for investors to evaluate our operations and prospects and may increase the risks associated with investment into the Company. Our business plan is subject to all business risks associated with new business enterprises, including the absence of any significant operating history upon which to evaluate an investment. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the development of new strategy and the competitive environment in which the Company will operate. It is possible that the Company will incur losses in the future. There is no guarantee that the Company will be profitable.
4
Additionally, our industry segment is relatively new, and is constantly evolving. As a result, there is a lack of available information with which to forecast industry trends or patterns. There is no assurance that sustainable industry trends or preferences will develop that will lead to predictable growth or earnings forecasts for individual companies or the industry segment as a whole. We are also unable to determine what impact future governmental regulation may have on trends and preferences or patterns within our industry segment.
We require additional financing, and we may not be able to raise funds on favorable terms or at all.
We anticipate requiring further funds in the future to meet our obligations. The sources of additional capital are expected to be equity investments and potentially notes payable. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. Furthermore, we may incur debt in the future, and may not have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or may default on our future debts, jeopardizing our business viability.
We may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to expand our operations and business, which might result in the value of our common stock decreasing in value or becoming worthless. Additional financing may not be available to us on terms that are acceptable. Consequently, we may not be able to proceed with our intended business plans. Obtaining additional financing contains risks, including:
·additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms and any equity we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current shareholders;
·loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our directors;
·the current environment in capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing; and
·if we fail to obtain required additional financing to grow our business, we would need to delay or scale back our business plan, reduce our operating costs, or reduce our headcount, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition.
Additionally, we may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our shareholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan.
We may not be able to compete successfully against present or future competitors.
We do not have the resources to compete with larger providers of similar services at this time. With the limited resources we have available, we may experience great difficulties in expanding our operations. Competition from existing and future competitors could result in our inability to secure expand our business. This competition from other entities with greater resources and experience may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business, as we may never be able to successfully execute our business plan.
Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available.
The ability of our business to grow and compete depends on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends in large part on our cash flow from operations and the availability of equity and debt financing. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient or we may not be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms or at all to implement our growth strategy. As a result, adequate capital may not be available to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.
5
Because our business is dependent upon continued market acceptance by consumers, any negative trends will adversely affect our business operations.
We will be substantially dependent on continued market acceptance and proliferation of consumers of cannabis related products. We believe that as cannabis, hemp and hemp-derived CBD becomes more accepted, the stigma associated with these sectors will diminish and as a result consumer demand will continue to grow. While we believe that the market and opportunity in the cannabis space continues to grow, we cannot predict the future growth rate and size of the market. Any negative outlook on the industry will adversely affect our business operations.
We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in achieving our goals, and our failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.
We are a new business operating in a relatively new market sector. As is typical in a new and rapidly evolving industry, demand and market acceptance for recently introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty and risk. Because the market for our Company is new and evolving, it is difficult to predict with any certainty the size of this market and its growth rate, if any. We cannot guarantee that a market for our Company will develop or that demand for our products will emerge or be sustainable. If the market fails to develop, develops more slowly than expected or becomes saturated with competitors, our business, financial condition and operating results would be materially adversely affected.
Changes in public opinion and perception could negatively affect our business operations.
Government policy changes or public opinion may also result in a significant influence over the regulation of the cannabis industry in the United States or elsewhere. Public opinion and support for cannabis and cannabis products has traditionally been inconsistent and varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. While public opinion and support appears to be rising for legalizing cannabis and cannabis products, it remains a controversial issue subject to differing opinions surrounding the level of legalization. A negative shift in the publics perception of cannabis and cannabis products in the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction could negatively affect current or future legislation or regulation.
Our change in our business strategy and name could subject us to increased SEC scrutiny.
We previously were engaged in the business of crypto-currency mining under our former corporate name. In November 2019, we adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities involving the rapid application of therapeutics using inhaler technology that the Company has sublicensed from a third party. In January 2020, we changed our corporate name to more closely reflect this new business strategy. The SEC has announced that it is scrutinizing public companies that change their name or business model in a bid to capitalize upon the hype surrounding new and emerging technologies, and has suspended trading of certain of such companies. As a result, we could be subject to substantial SEC scrutiny that could require devotion of significant management and other resources and potentially have an adverse impact on the trading of our stock.
The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, has caused severe disruptions in the global economy and may have an adverse impact on our performance and results of operations.
The recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be a pandemic, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. COVID-19 has severely restricted the level of economic activity around the world. A public health epidemic, including COVID-19, or the fear of a potential pandemic, poses the risk that we or our employees, contractors, suppliers, and other partners may be prevented from conducting business activities for an indefinite period of time, and our customers may be prevented from purchasing our products, due to shutdowns, stay at home mandates or other preventative measures that may be requested or mandated by governmental authorities. The governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken such preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. Temporary closures of businesses have been ordered and numerous other businesses have temporarily closed voluntarily. Such actions are creating disruption in global supply chains, increasing rates of unemployment and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown.
6
If the pandemic persists, closures or other restrictions on the conduct of business operations of our third-party manufacturers, suppliers or vendors could disrupt our supply chain. Additionally, the increased global demand on shipping and transport services may cause us to experience delays in the future which could impact our ability to obtain materials or deliver our products in a timely manner. These factors could otherwise disrupt our operations and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
So long as measures to combat COVID-19 stay in effect, there is the possibility that COVID-19 will negatively affect our results of operations. The global impact of COVID-19 continues to evolve rapidly, and the extent of its effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including the duration, scope and severity of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and related containment measures, among others.
Even after the pandemic subsides, our business could also be negatively impacted should the effects of COVID-19 lead to changes in consumer behavior, including as a result of a decline in discretionary spending. Moreover, future events could cause global financial conditions to suddenly and rapidly destabilize, and governmental authorities may have limited resources to respond to such future crises. Future crises may be precipitated by any number of causes, including natural disasters, geopolitical instability, changes to energy prices or sovereign defaults. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could negatively impact our ability to obtain equity or debt financing. If increased levels of volatility continue, there is a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions or a prolonged recession resulting from the pandemic, it would likely materially affect our business and the value of our common stock.
The long-term health impacts associated with use of cannabis derivative products are unknown.
Although there is a long history of human consumption of cannabis, there is little in the way of studies on the long-term effects of cannabis products use on human health. As such, there are inherent risks associated with using the Companys cannabis products. Previously unknown or unforeseeable adverse reactions arising from human consumption of cannabis products may occur and consumers should consume cannabis products at their own risk or in accordance with the direction of a health care practitioner.
Our products may be subject to recalls for a variety of reasons.
Manufacturers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety and inadequate or inaccurate labeling disclosure. If any of the products produced by us are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, we could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. We may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention. There can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits, whether frivolous or otherwise. Additionally, if any of the products produced by us were subject to recall, the reputation and goodwill of that product and/or us could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for our products and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of our operations by regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention, increased compliance costs and potential legal fees, fines, penalties and other expenses. Furthermore, any product recall affecting the cannabis industry more broadly could lead consumers to lose confidence in the safety and security of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to product liability regarding our products, which could result in costly litigation and settlements.
As a distributor of cannabis products, the Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the sale of our products involves the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of our products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. We may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that our products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other
7
substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against the Company could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
The cannabis industry faces strong opposition.
It is believed by many that large, well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the cannabis industry. The cannabis industry could face a material threat from the pharmaceutical industry, should cannabis displace other drugs or encroach upon the pharmaceutical industrys products. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that has greater funding then the cannabis industry. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry could make in halting or impeding the cannabis industry would harm our business, prospects, results of operation and financial condition.
The results of future clinical research may negatively impact our business.
Research in the U.S. and internationally regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing and social acceptance of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC) remains in early stages. There have been relatively few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabis or isolated cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC). Future research studies and clinical trials may reach negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing, social acceptance or other facts and perceptions related to cannabis, which could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products with the potential to lead to a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects.
The lack of reliable data on the cannabis industry may negatively impact our results of operations.
As a result of recent and ongoing regulatory and policy changes in the cannabis industry, the market data available is limited and unreliable. Federal, and state laws prevent widespread participation and hinder market research. Therefore, market research and projections by the Company of estimated total retail sales, demographics, demand, and similar consumer research, are based on assumptions from limited and unreliable market data, and generally represent the personal opinions of our management team as of the date of this document.
We operate in highly regulated industries where the regulatory environments are rapidly developing and we may not always succeed in complying fully with applicable regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions where we carry on business.
Our business and activities are heavily regulated and are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities (including, in the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and analogous state agencies) relating to, among other things, the manufacture, marketing, management, transportation, storage, sale, pricing and disposal of cannabis-based products, and also including laws, regulations and guidelines relating to health and safety, insurance coverage, the conduct of operations and the protection of the environment (including relating to emissions and discharges to water, air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes). Our products are not approved by the FDA or under the Food Drug & Cosmetics Act (FD&C Act). Our operations may also be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, price controls, export controls, controls on currency remittance, increased income taxes, restrictions on foreign investment and government policies rewarding contracts to local competitors or requiring domestic producers or vendors to purchase supplies from a particular jurisdiction. Laws, regulations and guidelines, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our products and services.
Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by these governmental authorities and obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals for the production, storage, transportation, sale, import and export, as applicable, of our products. The cannabis industry is still a new industry. The effect of relevant governmental authorities administration, application and enforcement of their respective regulatory regimes and delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, applicable regulatory approvals which may be required may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, products and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. For example, in the U.S., registered federal trademark protection is only available for goods and services that can be lawfully used
8
in interstate commerce; and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is not currently approving any trademark applications for cannabis, or certain goods containing U.S. hemp-derived CBD.
The regulatory environment for our products is rapidly developing, and the need to build and maintain robust systems to comply with different and changing regulations in multiple jurisdictions increases the possibility that we may violate one or more applicable requirements. While we endeavor to comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines, any failure to comply with the regulatory requirements applicable to our operations could subject us to negative consequences, including, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, asset seizures, revocation or imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business, the denial of regulatory applications (including, in the U.S., by other regulatory regimes that rely on the positions of the DEA, FDA and USDA in the application of their respective regimes), the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction or of our key personnel, or the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements, any of which could materially adversely affect our business and financial results. In the United States, failure to comply with FDA and USDA requirements (and analogous state agencies) may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. The outcome of any regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations, audits, and other contingencies could harm our reputation, require us to take, or refrain from taking, actions that could harm our operations or require us to pay substantial amounts of money, harming our financial condition. Increasingly, communication and coordination among regulators has led in other industries to coordinated responses to regulatory and licensure applications. To the extent that regulators coordinate responses to license applications and regulatory conditions, limitations or denials of licenses in one jurisdiction may lead to denials in other jurisdictions. There can be no assurance that any pending or future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations and audits will not result in substantial costs or a diversion of managements attention and resources, negatively impact our future growth plans and opportunities or have a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition.
Cannabis companies are subject to recent SEC investor fraud alerts and have been under greater scrutiny by the SEC than companies in other industries.
The SEC has issued an investor alert cautioning investors that scam artists often exploit hot industries to trick investors, including by making false promises of high returns with low risks, and that the SEC regularly receives complaints about marijuana-related investments. Consequently, such companies and offerings are often subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny. Regulators in various states in the United States have requested additional information on cannabis company financings and in some cases have issued subpoenas for additional information. Due to these concerns the Company may face more scrutiny than it would if the Company was in another industry, and may become subject to proceedings, fines, and penalties in the future.
We are constrained by law in our ability to market and advertise our products.
Our marketing and advertising are subject to regulation by various regulatory bodies in the jurisdictions we operate. In the United States, our advertising is subject to regulation by the FTC under the Federal Trade Commission Act as well as the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and USDA, including as amended by the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, and by state agencies under analogous and similar state and local laws. Some U.S. states also permit content, advertising and labeling laws to be enforced by state attorneys general, who may seek civil and criminal penalties, relief for consumers, Class Action certifications, class wide damages and recalls of products sold by us. There has also been a recent increase in private litigation that seeks, among other things, relief for consumers, Class Action certifications, class wide damages and recalls of products. We could become a target of such private Class Action litigation. Any actions against us by governmental authorities or private litigants could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity, cash flow and operational performance.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
Your ownership may be diluted if additional capital stock is issued to raise capital, to finance acquisitions or in connection with strategic transactions.
We will need to raise additional funds to expand our operations or finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, which would reduce the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or any part of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Our recently amended articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 750,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 100,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock. Future issuances of common stock or of certain types of preferred stock could reduce your influence over matters on which stockholders vote and could be dilutive to earnings per share.
Shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes may substantially increase the number of shares available for sale in the public market and depress the price of our common stock.
In conjunction with the execution of the Agreement with TMDI in November 2019, the Company entered into the following transactions involving convertible notes payable: (i) The Company entered into new promissory notes with two accredited investors under which the Company borrowed a total of $300,000, with such notes maturing in five years, accruing interest at 5% per annum, and being convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share; and (ii) The Company entered into an amendment with the holders of existing non-convertible notes in the total principal amount of $732,835 whereby such notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest with deferral of the maturity dates being extended for one year or until the Company has raised an additional $500,000 of new equity securities, at which time, the principal and accrued interest shall be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share. Besides these two recent transactions, the Company has outstanding convertible notes payable, at a conversion ratio of $0.13 per share, remaining from an earlier issuance in the principal balance of $165,240.
To the extent that the holders of any of the foregoing notes elect to convert them into shares of common stock, there will be dilution to existing stockholders.
In addition, the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a companys stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the companys stock will decrease, and any additional shares which shareholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. In the event of such overhang, the note holders will have an incentive to sell their common stock as quickly as possible. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb the discounted shares, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.
The concentration of our common stock ownership by our current management will limit your ability to influence corporate matters.
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own and are able to vote in the aggregate 87.7% of our outstanding common stock. As such, our directors and executive officers, as stockholders, will continue to have the ability to exert significant influence over all corporate activities, including the election or removal of directors and the outcome of tender offers, mergers, proxy contests or other purchases of common stock that could give our stockholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price for their shares of common stock. This concentrated control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and, as a result, we may take actions that our stockholders do not view as beneficial. In addition, such concentrated control could discourage others from initiating changes of control. In such cases, the perception of our prospects in the market may be adversely affected and the market price of our common stock may decline.
We have no intention of declaring dividends in the foreseeable future.
The decision to pay cash dividends on our common stock rests with our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, unencumbered cash, capital requirements and financial condition. We do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future, as we intend to use any excess cash to fund our operations. Investors in our common stock should not expect to receive dividend income on their investment, and investors will be dependent on the appreciation of our common stock to earn a return on their investment.
10
We could issue blank check preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada corporate law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of blank check preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control.
There is no material public market for our common stock.
Our securities are currently quoted on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets; provided that there is currently no information available about the Company. We currently have a volatile, sporadic and illiquid market for our common stock, which is subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:
·actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
·our ability or inability to generate revenues;
·the number of shares in our public float;
·increased competition; and
·conditions and trends in the market for our services and products.
Our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Shareholders and potential investors in our common stock should exercise caution before making an investment in us, and should not rely solely on the publicly quoted or traded stock prices in determining our common stock value, but should instead determine the value of our common stock based on the information contained in our public disclosures, industry information, and those business valuation methods commonly used to value private companies.
Additionally, the market price of our common stock historically has fluctuated significantly based on, but not limited to, such factors as general stock market trends, announcements of developments related to our business, actual or anticipated variations in our operating results, our ability or inability to generate revenues, and conditions and trends in the industries in which our customers are engaged.
In recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price fluctuations that have oftentimes been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Similarly, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly based upon factors unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Stockholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulations of penny stocks.
Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Exchange Act, as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchasers consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any
11
equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of Company stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
Since November 2019, our corporate and executive offices have been located in an office space in Dallas, Texas, provided by the Companys Chief Executive Officer at no cost or commitment to the Company. The Company anticipates that this arrangement will continue to be satisfactory for the foreseeable future.
We do not own any real property.
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable, primarily for the following reasons: (i) many of the relevant legal proceedings are in preliminary stages, and until such proceedings develop further, there is often uncertainty regarding the relevant facts and circumstances at issue and potential liability; and (ii) many of these proceedings involve matters of which the outcomes are inherently difficult to predict. We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market. From February 28, 2018 until January 20, 2020, our stock was quoted under the symbol MINR. Effective January 21, 2020, our symbol was changed to RTSL.
We have an extremely illiquid market for our common stock and there have been only very few trades of our common stock since it was cleared for quotation. Based on such sporadic trades, the Company does not believe that the inclusion in this Report of high and low bid information for each full quarterly period within the two most recent fiscal years would be of any use to readers and/or that such information accurately reflects the value of the Companys common stock.
Holders
As of June 29, 2020, there were approximately 45 holders of record of our common stock. In addition, we believe that additional beneficial owners of our common stock hold their shares in nominee or in street name accounts through brokers.
Dividends
We have never paid any dividends on our common stock. The payment of dividends in the future will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. It is the present intention of our Board of Directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our Board of Directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Effective November 15, 2019, the following transactions took place in the Companys notes payable:
·The Company entered into new promissory notes with two accredited investors under which the Company borrowed a total of $300,000, with such notes maturing in five years, accruing interest at 5% per annum, and being convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.
·The two holders of outstanding convertible notes payable elected to exercise their existing rights to convert a portion of their notes into shares of common stock, at the stated conversion ratio of $0.13 per share. The two holders converted a total principal amount of $2,034,760 into a total of 15,652,000 shares of common stock leaving the remaining total principal balance of $165,240 unconverted.
·The Company entered into an amendment with the holders of existing non-convertible notes in the total principal amount of $732,835 (out of a total of $756,535) whereby such notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest with deferral of the maturity dates being extended for one year or until the Company has raised an additional $500,000 of new equity securities, at which time, the principal and accrued interest shall be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.
As described above, in November 2019, in connection with the entry into the Agreement, the Company issued a total of 140,000,000 shares of Common Stock to TMDI, resulting in a change in control of the Company.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company undertook a private offering of its common stock to two separate accredited investors. Under this offering, an initial 1,000,000 shares were sold to the first investor in January 2020 at an offering price of $0.05 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $50,000, and another 100,000 shares were sold to the second investor in March 2020 at an offering price of $0.25 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $25,000.
Additionally, the Company awarded a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock to three individual consultants and a company in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compensation for services. Based on the timing of these awards in relation to the private offering of common stock noted above, the Company valued the first 1,500,000 shares at a price of $0.05 per share, for total non-cash compensation expense of $75,000, and the last 100,000 shares at a price of $0.25 per share, for total non-cash compensation expense of $25,000.
We claim an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act for such issuances (except for the issuances in connection with the conversion of the convertible notes, discussed below), since the foregoing issuances did not involve a public offering, the recipients were (a) accredited investors and/or (b) had access to similar documentation and information as would be required in a Registration Statement under the Securities Act, and the recipients acquired the securities for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. The securities are subject to transfer restrictions, and the certificates evidencing the securities contain an appropriate legend stating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold absent registration or pursuant to an exemption therefrom.
We claim an exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act for such issuances in connection with the conversion of the convertible notes, as the securities were exchanged by us with our existing security holders in a transaction where no commission or other remuneration was paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such exchange.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Form 10-K. The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Form 10-K involve risks and uncertainties, including those set forth under Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in this Item and in Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Overview
Effective November 15, 2019, the Company and TMDI entered into the Agreement granting the Company access to certain technology regarding the RxoidTM MDI inhaler that TMDI has licensed from a third party. In conjunction with execution of the Agreement, the Company issued a total of 140,000,000 shares of Common Stock to TMDI, resulting in a change in control of the Company. At the same time, the Company named Donal R. Schmidt, Jr., TMDIs founder and president, as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Company commenced its initial business operations under the new business strategy in early 2020. In order to more closely represent and reflect the new business strategy, the Company changed its name to Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., effective January 13, 2020.
During the term of the Agreement, the Company shall be required to reimburse TMDI to the extent that TMDI is required to make any payments to EM3, pursuant to the EM3 Exclusive License Agreement, as a result of the Agreement. The Companys obligation to make such reimbursements to TMDI is conditioned upon TMDI providing the Company with an advance notice requesting such payments, along with an accounting showing the calculations for such payments.
With execution of the Agreement, the Company has adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities in the greater aerosol manufacturing space not limited to cannabinoids. This business strategy will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM MDI technology that is being sublicensed from TMDI. The market for such products includes, but is not limited to, prospective healthcare providers, pharmacies and other parties such as major retailers and wholesale medical distributors. Finally, the Company will utilize a robust direct marketing campaign on the internet, where legal. Although the sub-license with EM3 is exclusive to manufacturing in the States of Texas, California, Florida and Nevada, RxoidTM or any other aerosol product manufactured by the Company related to the licensed technology may be marketed and produced world-wide on a non-exclusive basis, where legal. Simultaneously, the Company exited from its previous operations in the bitcoin mining business, which had been suspended since the middle of 2018.
Results of Operations
The following discussion pertains to the Companys operating and other expenses for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, as reported in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 8.
Revenues The Company commenced online sales of its inhaler products.in January 2020. The initial revenues from such sales in the year ended March 31, 2020 were $9,139 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2019. Revenues from online sales of the Companys inhaler products are expected to gradually increase in the future.
Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold for the year ended March 31, 2020 were $7,155 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2019. The cost of goods sold in the fiscal 2020 period reflected the initial cost of procuring inhalers and related products and supplies for resale and resulted in gross profit of approximately 22%.
General and Administrative Expense - General and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2020 were $397,487 compared to $169,690 for the year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was due to the higher level of overhead costs following the Companys recent adoption of a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using the RxoidTM MDI technology that is being sublicensed from TMDI.
15
Amortization Expense - Amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $37,500 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was due to the Companys initial amortization of its obligation to reimburse TMDI in the amount of $200,000 for a license fee owed by TMDI to a third party licensor covering the first two years of the sublicense agreement.
Interest Expense - Interest expense for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $191,581 compared to $180,531 for the year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was due to more days of outstanding borrowings in current year relative to prior year.
Other - Gain on sale of Bitcoin for the year ended March 31, 2020 was zero compared to $1,380 for the year ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was due to the non-recurring sale of all of the Companys internally-generated Bitcoin in November 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $190,544 compared to $106,663 for the year ended March 31, 2019. This net increase was largely due to the higher level of overhead costs following the Companys recent adoption of a new business strategy in the year ended March 31, 2020, as further noted above.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $155,075 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was due to the Companys obligation to reimburse TMDI in the total amount of $200,000 for a license fee owed by TMDI to a third party licensor covering the first two years of the sublicense agreement.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2020 was $480,500 compared to $95,700 for the year ended March 31, 2019. This increase was largely due to; (i) The new convertible debt borrowings in the amount of $300,000 that were made in November 2019 in conjunction with the execution of the Agreement with TMDI and the adoption of a new business strategy focused on the RxoidTM inhaler; (ii) A private offering of common stock in early 2020 in the amount of $75,000; and (iii) An equity subscription agreement funded in early 2020 in the amount of $90,000.
As disclosed in Note 6, the Company has incurred long-term debt obligations for various borrowings made in the following amounts: (i) $300,000 for new convertible notes issued in conjunction with execution of the Agreement with TMDI in November 2019; (ii) $165,240 for residual convertible notes remaining from the acquisition of Power Blockchain in February 2018; and (iii) $756,565 for subsequent borrowings made to cover overhead and other costs related to the Companys former bitcoin mining business. The following table sets forth the contractual obligations under our long-term debt agreements as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands):

We have not generated a net profit from our initial online sales of our inhaler products beginning in early 2020. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations. Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from operations, if ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings and debt financings and we may seek to raise additional capital through strategic collaborations.
However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our operations. Failure to receive additional funding could cause us to cease operations, in part or in full. Furthermore, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations, which may cause dilution to our existing stockholders.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
We do not engage in off-balance sheet transactions.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported net losses from continuing operations in the last two years and has suffered recurring losses totaling $3,601,419 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not contain any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported 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.
Recent Developments
Coronavirus Pandemic (Covid 19)
Since December 31, 2019 and through the date of this report, the entire global economy has been substantially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic which began in China and has spread to the United States and most other parts of the world. As disclosed in Note 1, the Company has adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using proprietary metered dose inhaler technology that the Company has recently sublicensed from a third party. The range of possible impacts on the Companys business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Companys products; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Companys supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Companys business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide information required under this item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The consolidated financial statements required by this item are set forth beginning in Item 15 of this report and are incorporated herein by reference.
17
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Effective March 27, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed Prager Metis CPAs LLP (Prager) as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Company's Board of Directors recommended and approved the engagement by the Company of PWR CPA, LLP (PWR) to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, effective March 27, 2020.
The report of Prager on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.
During the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, and the subsequent interim period from April 1, 2019 to the date of dismissal of Prager, there were no disagreements between the Company and Prager on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Prager, would have caused Prager to make reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with its audit reports on the Company's financial statements.
During the Company's fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, and the subsequent interim period from April 1, 2019 to the date of the dismissal of Prager, there were no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
During the Company's fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the subsequent interim period from April 1, 2019 to the date of engagement of PWR, the Company did not consult with PWR regarding any of the matters set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (CFO), concluded that as a result of the material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting discussed below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our principal executive officer and our principal accounting and financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our assessment using those criteria, management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at the reasonable assurance level, primarily due to a lack of segregation of duties in financial reporting, as of March 31, 2020, and continue to be ineffective. To the extent practical in light of its current financial condition, the Company will consider expanding financial reporting resources in the future.
18
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
In light of the material weakness described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
None.

| Position |
Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. |
|
| Director, President and Chief Executive Officer |
D. Hughes Watler, Jr. |
|
| Director and Chief Financial Officer |
The following is a brief account of the business experience during the past five years or more of each of our directors and executive officers.
Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. is the founder and President of TMDI. Mr. Schmidt is an attorney and Certified Public Accountant with substantial combined business experience in both fields. In addition to earning a law degree, he has received advanced degrees in finance and accounting and has worked in public accounting with one of the largest national accounting firms. He has previously run several successful public companies. In conjunction with his founding of TMDI, he has gained significant experience as an attorney and entrepreneur in the cannabinoid industry.
D. Hughes Watler, Jr. D. Hughes Watler, Jr. is a Certified Public Accountant and has been an independent financial and accounting consultant since 2017. From 2007 to 2017, he served as the Chief Financial Officer of Stack-It Storage, Inc. (OTCBB: STAK) and predecessor companies. He previously served as Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of Goodrich Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: GDP) from 2003 to 2006 and as a financial officer of several other public and private energy companies from 1992 to 2003. Prior thereto, he was an audit partner with Price Waterhouse LLP and was on the firms audit staff.
Board Committees
We have not yet established any committees of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee and one or more other committees in the future. We do not have a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our Board and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We have no separate audit committee at this time. The entire Board of Directors oversees our audits and auditing procedures. Given the present size of our Board, we do not believe that it is practical for us to have committees.
Shareholder Communications
We do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations.
20
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions. We intend to adopt a code of ethics in the near future.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers and directors with greater than ten percent beneficial ownership are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that all reports were filed for the fiscal year, except that Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. and D. Hughes Watler, Jr. failed to file Form 3s in connection with their appointment as officers of the Company on November 15, 2019, and these Form 3s remain outstanding.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Effective November 15, 2019, our board of directors appointed Donal R. Schmidt, Jr. and D. Hughes Watler, Jr. as the sole members of our board of directors and as executive officers of the Company. Messrs. Schmidt and Watler replaced Brent Willson and Steve Bond who had served in the same capacities since January 29, 2018.
The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with either Mr. Schmidt or Mr. Watler. Since November 15, 2019, Mr. Schmidt has spent a material portion of his time on his duties with the Company but has not been compensated for his services. Since November 15, 2019, Mr. Watler has spent only a portion of his time on his duties with the Company, and has been compensated on an hourly basis for his services.
Shown in the table below are the compensation amounts attributable to our named executive officers for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which consist of all individuals that served as our principal executive officer during the fiscal years and our most highly compensated other executive officer.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following tables set forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 29, 2020 of (i) each person known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock, (ii) our directors, (iii) each named executive officer, and (iv) all directors and named executive officers as a group. As of June 29, 2020, there were a total of 160,156,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on matters on which holders of voting stock of the Company are eligible to vote. The column entitled Percent shows the percentage of voting common stock beneficially owned by each listed party.
The number of shares beneficially owned is determined under the rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power plus any shares which such person or entity has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of June 29, 2020, through the exercise or conversion of any stock option, convertible security, warrant or other right.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Office Space
Since November 2019, our corporate and executive offices have been located in an office space in Dallas, Texas, provided by the Companys Chief Executive Officer at no cost or commitment to the Company. The Company anticipates that this arrangement will continue to be satisfactory for the foreseeable future.
22
Director Independence
We are currently not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be independent and, as a result, we are not at this time required to (and we do not) have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of Independent Directors.
Our Board of Directors has considered the independence of its Directors in reference to the definition of Independent Director established by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In doing so, the Board of Directors has reviewed all commercial and other relationships of each director in making its determination as to the independence of its Directors. After such review, the Board of Directors has determined none of our directors qualifies as independent under the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Prager Metis CPAs LLP (Prager), served as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended March 31, 2019 and for the subsequent period through March 26, 2020. Effective on that date, the Company dismissed Prager as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm and engaged PWR CPA, LLC (PWR) as its new independent registered public accounting firm.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (the Company), formerly, Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc., as of March 31, 2020 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital at March 31, 2020, has incurred recurring losses and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (the Company), formerly, Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc., as of March 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has negative working capital at March 31, 2019, has incurred recurring losses and recurring negative cash flow from operating activities, and has an accumulated deficit which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc.
(formerly, Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc.)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2020 and 2019
NOTE 1. General Organization and Business
Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc. (we, our or the Company) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 22, 2013, originally under the name of PowerMedChairs, and is considered to be an emerging growth company under applicable federal securities laws. On June 2, 2017, the Company changed its name to Holly Brothers Pictures, Inc. On February 1, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Power Blockchain, LLC (Power Blockchain) through an exchange agreement in a transaction that resulted in the transition to a planned new business of mining crypto-currency. Effective November 15, 2019, the Company exited from that business and adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using inhaler technology that the Company has sublicensed from a third party as a result of the execution of a sublicense agreement with the sublicensor on that date (see Note 4). In conjunction with the adoption of the new business strategy, the Company changed its name to Rapid Therapeutic Science Laboratories, Inc., effective January 13, 2020. At that time, the Company also commenced online sales of its inhaler products.
NOTE 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The basis is United States generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Power Blockchain, which is presently inactive.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents.
Earnings per Share
The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted as of the first year for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The Company has not issued any options or warrants or similar securities that are presently exercisable.
Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The unit of account in Topic 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer to a customer either a distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) or a series of distinct goods or services provided at a point in time or over a period of time. Topic 606 requires that a contracts transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is to be allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Inventory
Inventory as of March 31, 2020, consists of inhalers and related products and supplies delivered to a location near the Companys offices, and held for online sale to retail customers. Inventory is stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market.
F-8
Intangible Assets
The Company amortizes the costs of any renewable license or sub-license agreements over the contractual terms of such renewable agreements. For any license or sub-license agreements which do not require any renewal payments to be made, the Company performs periodic assessments in order to determine whether there has been any impairment in the carrying value of such intangible assets (see Note 4).
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is the total of the current taxes payable and the net of the change in the deferred income taxes. Provision is made for the deferred income taxes where differences exist between the period in which transactions affect current taxable income and the period in which they enter into the determination of net income in the financial statements. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 2020 and 2019. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Level 1:The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.
Level 2:FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
Level 3:If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as unobservable, and limits their use by saying they shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. This category allows for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that observable inputs are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated any subsequent events occurring in the period from March 31, 2020 through the date the financial statements were issued, to determine if disclosure in this report is warranted (see Note 13).
F-9
NOTE 3. Going concern
The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has generated minimal revenues and has suffered recurring losses totaling $3,601,419 since inception. These factors, among others, indicate that there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the issuance date of this filing.
In order to obtain the necessary capital to sustain operations, Managements plans include, among other things, the possibility of pursuing new equity sales and/or making additional debt borrowings. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing. The accompanying 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 the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 4. Intangible Assets
Effective November 15, 2019, the Company entered into a sublicense agreement with Texas MDI, Inc. (TMDI), a Texas corporation, (the Agreement) granting the Company access to certain technology regarding the RxoidTM metered dose inhaler that TMDI has licensed from a third party. In conjunction with execution of the Agreement, the Company simultaneously issued a total of 140,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to TMDI, in consideration of the sublicense rights granted to the Company in this transaction. The Company recorded the acquisition of an intangible asset in the amount of $140,000 based on the par value of the shares issued.
During the term of the Agreement, the Company is required to reimburse TMDI to the extent that TMDI is required to make any payments to the licensor, pursuant to its license agreement with a third party. Accordingly, the Company has an obligation to reimburse TMDI in the amount of $200,000 as a license fee covering the first two years of the Agreement. The Company has partially satisfied this obligation by making an equipment purchase on behalf of the licensor in the amount of $135,000, and has agreed to pay the remaining license fee of $44,925 in cash within a 24 month period (for which, the Company has recorded a liability for the unpaid portion of this amount in accounts payable as of March 31, 2020). The Company has recorded the entire $200,000 license fee as an intangible asset and is amortizing it to expense on a straight-line basis over a 24 month period (of which, $37,500 was amortized in the period from November 15, 2019 to March 31, 2020).
NOTE 5. Notes Payable
As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had the following long-term debt obligations:
|

Effective November 15, 2019, the following transactions took place in the Companys notes payable:
·The Company entered into new promissory notes with two accredited investors under which the Company borrowed a total of $300,000, with such notes maturing in five years, accruing interest at 5% per annum, and being convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.
·The two holders of outstanding convertible notes payable elected to exercise their existing rights to convert a portion of their notes into shares of common stock, at the stated conversion ratio of $0.13 per share. The two holders converted a total principal amount of $2,034,760 into a total of 15,652,000 shares of common stock leaving the remaining total principal balance of $165,240 unconverted.
·The Company entered into an amendment with the holders of existing non-convertible notes in the total principal amount of $732,835 (out of a total of $756,535) whereby such notes will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest with deferral of the maturity dates being extended for one year or until the Company has raised an additional $500,000 of new equity securities, at which time, the principal and accrued interest shall be converted into common stock at a conversion price of $0.05 per share.
The Company performed an analysis of both the newly issued convertible notes and the newly amended existing notes, which were formerly non-convertible, to determine whether there was a beneficial conversion feature and noted none.
NOTE 6. Stockholders' Equity
Effective January 13, 2020, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the Certificate of Amendment) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to increase the total authorized shares of common stock of the Company from 200 million shares to 750 million shares and to authorize future issuances of blank check preferred stock of the Company of 100 million shares.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company undertook a private offering of its common stock to two separate accredited investors. Under this offering, an initial 1,000,000 shares were sold to the first investor in January 2020 at an offering price of $0.05 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $50,000, and another 100,000 shares were sold to the second investor in March 2020 at an offering price of $0.25 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $25,000.
Additionally, the Company awarded a total of 1,600,000 shares of common stock to three consultants and a company in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 as compensation for services. Based on the timing of these awards in relation to the private offering of common stock noted above, the Company valued the first 1,500,000 shares at a price of $0.05 per share, for total non-cash compensation expense of $75,000, and the last 100,000 shares at a price of $0.25 per share, for total non-cash compensation expense of $25,000.
In March 2018, the Board approved the establishment of a new 2018 Stock Option Plan with an authorization for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. The Plan is designed to provide for future discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards and stock unit awards to key employees and non-employee directors. The Company issued warrants but none were exercised to date.
F-11
NOTE 7. Related Party Transactions
The Company does not lease or rent any property. In the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, office services were provided without charge by a director. Such costs are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, have not been reflected therein. The officers and directors of the Company are involved in other business activities and may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities. If a specific business opportunity becomes available, such persons may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and their other business interests. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts.
NOTE 8. Provision for Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB Accounting Standard Codification ASC 740 Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires use of the liability method. ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be settled or realized.
For the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $445,700, after taking certain non-deductible items into account, as compared to $305,800 for the year ended March 31, 2019, that may be available to reduce future years' taxable income. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carry-forwards. Net operating losses will begin to expire in 2030.
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019:

The cumulative valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for the year ending March 31, 2020 was $(246,200), as compared to $(152,600) for the same period last year. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of March 31, 2020. The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
U.S federal statutory rate | (21.0%) |
Valuation reserve | 21.0% |
Total | 0% |
As of March 31, 2020, we had a cumulative unused net operating loss carryover of approximately $1,172,400, after taking certain non-deductible items into account, that is available to offset future taxable income which expires beginning 2038. The availability of such net operating loss carryover to be offset against any future taxable income is significantly limited as a result of the change of control transaction that occurred in November 2019 (see Note 1). All prior tax years currently remain open.

NOTE 9. Commitments and Contingencies
In February 2020, the Company entered into an equity subscription agreement with a third party whereby the Company agreed to grant the third party 640,000 shares of restricted common stock and a large number of common stock purchase warrants, in exchange for a cash payment to the Company of $90,000, and the performance of certain other obligations. The terms and conditions of this memorandum agreement were subject to the negotiation of a definitive agreement between the parties. To date, the parties have not reached such a definitive agreement. Accordingly, the Company has recorded the $90,000 payment received from the third party as a current liability with the expectation that it will eventually either be converted into some form of equity, converted to a term loan, or refunded to the third party.
The Company has no lease or other obligations.
NOTE 10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company's management has evaluated all the recently issued accounting pronouncements through the filing date of these consolidated financial statements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 11. Litigation
From time to time in the ordinary course of our business, we may be involved in legal proceedings, the outcomes of which may not be determinable. The results of litigation are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time and result in diversion of significant resources. We are not able to estimate an aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses for those legal matters for which losses are not probable and estimable, primarily for the following reasons: (i) many of the relevant legal proceedings are in preliminary stages, and until such proceedings develop further, there is often uncertainty regarding the relevant facts and circumstances at issue and potential liability; and (ii) many of these proceedings involve matters of which the outcomes are inherently difficult to predict. We have insurance policies covering potential losses where such coverage is cost effective.
We are not at this time involved in any legal proceedings.
NOTE 12. Sale of Bitcoin
In November 2018, the Company sold all of its internally-generated Bitcoin for a cash sales price of $5,140. The Company recognized a one-time gain on this non-recurring sale in the year ended March 31, 2019 in the amount of $1,380.
NOTE 13. Subsequent Events
Since December 31, 2019 and through the date of this report, the entire global economy has been substantially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic which began in China and has spread to the United States and most other parts of the world. As disclosed in Note 1, the Company has adopted a new business strategy focused on developing potential commercial opportunities which will involve the rapid application of therapeutics using proprietary metered dose inhaler technology that the Company has recently sublicensed from a third party. The range of possible impacts on the Companys business from the coronavirus pandemic could include: (i) changing demand for the Companys products; (ii) rising bottlenecks in the Companys supply chain; and (iii) increasing contraction in the capital markets. At this time, the Company believes that it is premature to determine the potential impact on the Companys business prospects from these or any other factors that may be related to the coronavirus pandemic.
In April 2020, the Company entered into private stock subscription agreements with two separate accredited investors whereby the Company sold a total of 280,000 shares to these two investors at an offering price of $0.25 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $70,000. Additionally, the Company issued another 320,000 shares to a consultant, as compensation for services.
