NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2017 and 2016 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s June 30, 2016 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Business and Basis of Presentation — DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc. (“DanDrit USA” or the “Parent”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2011 as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business.
DanDrit BioTech A/S, a Danish corporation was incorporated on April 1, 2001 (“DanDrit Denmark”) and is treated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (together with Parent, the “Company”). On February 12, 2014, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement"), Parent acquired approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DanDrit BioTech A/S, a Danish corporation (“DanDrit Denmark”) and as a result became the parent of DanDrit Denmark (the “Share Exchange”). Prior to the Share Exchange there were 5,000,000 shares of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Parent outstanding. The Parent and a shareholder agreed to cancel 4,400,000 shares of its common stock and issued 1,440,000 shares of common stock for legal and consulting services related to the Share Exchange and a future financing. At the time of the Share Exchange, the outstanding shares of the common stock of DanDrit Denmark were exchanged for 1.498842 shares of Parent’s common stock, for a total of 6,000,000 shares of common stock (including 185,053 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in accordance with Section 70 of the Danish Companies Act and the Articles of Association of DanDrit Denmark to the Non-Consenting Shareholders, deemed issued and outstanding for accounting purposes). Following the closing of the Share Exchange, DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into the Company, thereby changing the Company’s name to “DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc.” DanDrit Denmark engages in the research and development, manufacturing and clinical trials of pharmaceutical and biological products for the human treatment of cancer using the dendritic cell technology.
Fiscal Year End — In June 2015, DanDrit’s board of directors approved a change to DanDrit’s fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30.
Reverse Acquisition — On February 12, 2014, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, DanDrit USA completed the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DanDrit Denmark and as a result became DanDrit Denmark’s parent company. Prior to such Share Exchange there were 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Parent and an existing shareholder agreed to cancel 4,400,000 shares of its common stock and issued 1,440,000 shares of its common stock for legal and consulting services related to the Share Exchange and a future public offering. At the time of the Share Exchange each outstanding share of common stock of DanDrit Denmark was exchanged for 1.498842 shares of Parent’s common stock, for a total of 6,000,000 shares, resulting in 8,040,000 shares of the Parent’s common stock outstanding immediately following the Share Exchange, including 185,053 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in accordance with Section 70 of the Danish Companies Act and the Articles of Association of DanDrit Denmark to the DanDrit Denmark shareholders who have not consented to the Share Exchange (the “Non-Consenting Shareholders”), and deemed issued and outstanding for accounting purposes.
Consolidation — For the Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of DanDrit Denmark, and the accounts and operations of DanDrit USA. All material inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

DANDRIT BIOTECH USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Functional Currency / Foreign currency translation — The functional currency of DanDrit USA is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of DanDrit Denmark is the Danish Kroner (“DKK”). The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar for the purpose of these financial statements. The Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods ending March 31, 2017 and 2016. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the statement of operations as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company had balances held in financial institutions in Denmark of $33,699 and $23,368, respectively.
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized, upon being placed in service. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from four to nine years (See Note 3).
Intangible Assets — Definite life intangible assets include patents. The Company accounts for definite life intangible assets in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, (“ASC”) Topic 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and amortized the patents on a straight line basis over the estimated useful life of twenty years. Costs incurred in relation to patent applications are capitalized cost and amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent. If it is determined that a patent will not be issued, the related remaining patent application costs are charged to expense.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment and patents are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The depreciable basis of assets that are impaired and continue in use is their respective fair values.
Revenue Recognition and Sales — The Company’s sales of its MelCancerVac® (“MCV”) colorectal cancer vaccine have been limited to a compassionate use basis in Singapore after stage IIA trials and is not approved for current sale for any other use or location. The Company's accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB 101), and FASB ASC 605 Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when rights and risk of ownership have passed to the customer, when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, product has been shipped or delivered to the customer, the price and terms are finalized, and collections of resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Products are primarily shipped FOB shipping point at which time title passes to the customer.
Value Added Tax — In Denmark, Value Added Tax (“VAT”) of 25% of the invoice amount is collected in respect of the sales of goods on behalf of tax authorities. The VAT collected is not revenue of the Company; instead, the amount is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet until such VAT is paid to the authorities. VAT of 25% is also paid to Danish and EU vendors on invoices these amounts are refundable from the respective governmental authority and recorded as other receivables in the accompanying financial statements.
Research and Development Expenses — The Company expenses research and development costs incurred in formulating, improving, validating and creating alternative or modified processes related to and expanding the use of our MAGE –A dendrite cell cancer therapy. Research and development costs were included in operating expenses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, totaled $16,290 and $47,181, and for the three and nine months ended December 2016 $235,927 and $615,334, respectively.
Our research and development expenses may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter depending on the clinical studies and the timing of samples supporting the clinical studies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes — The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Accounting for Income Taxes. This statement requires an asset and liability approach for accounting for income taxes.
Loss Per Share — The Company calculates earnings /(loss) per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) are based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per common share are based on shares outstanding (computed as under basic EPS) and potentially dilutive common shares. Potential shares of common stock included in the diluted earnings per share calculation include in-the-money stock options that have been granted but have not been exercised.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The Company accounts for fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The authoritative guidance, which, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as the exit price, representing the amount that would either be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
● | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
● | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
● | Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, investments, accounts payable, accrued expenses, capital lease obligations and notes payable approximates their recorded values due to their short-term maturities.
Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard to achieve a consistent application of revenue recognition within the U.S., resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date by one year; accordingly, the new standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and we expect to adopt it at that time. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. We have not yet selected a transition method, nor have we determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In 2015, the FASB issued an amended standard requiring that we classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and non-current. The amended standard was adopted effective January 1, 2017 by the Company on a prospective basis and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. Adoption of the standard had no effect on the accompanying financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for leases that primarily affect presentation and disclosure requirements. The new standard will require the recognition of a right to use asset and underlying lease liability for operating leases with an initial life in excess of one year. This standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2019. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial statements.
Reclassification — The financial statement for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 have been reclassified to conform to the headings and classifications used in the March 31, 2017 financial statements.
NOTE 2 — GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred significant losses, has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations and has short-term obligations in excess of anticipated cash. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management plans to mitigate this doubt by raising additional funds through debt and/or equity offerings. The Company is attempting to raise capital through a private placement offering, and as of May 15, 2017 has raised $3,510,000 from the sale of 2,700,000 shares of common stock at $1.30 per share together with warrants to purchase 5,400,000 shares of common stock having a strike price of $1.30 per share. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising funds through the debt or equity or achieving profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 3 — PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

NOTE 9 — INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes; which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carry forwards. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company’s future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $10,786,786 at an estimated effective tax rate of 22% or approximately $2,373,093 for Danish tax purposes which do not expire and net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,220,612 at an estimated effective tax rate of 34% or approximately $463,231 for U.S. Federal Tax purposes which expire through 2034, a portion of which shall be limited due to the change in control of the Parent.
The Company files U.S. and Danish income tax returns, and they are generally no longer subject to tax examinations for years prior to 2012 and 2008, respectively.
The temporary differences, tax credits and carry forwards gave rise to the following deferred tax asset (liabilities) at March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016:
March 31, 2017 | June 30, 2016 | |||||||
Excess of Tax over book depreciation Fixed assets | $ | 6,238 | $ | 7,660 | ||||

Total Deferred Tax Asset (Liabilities) | $ | - | $ | - |
In accordance with prevailing accounting guidance, the Company is required to recognize and disclose any income tax uncertainties. The guidance provides a two-step approach to recognize and disclose any income tax uncertainties. The guidance provides a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits and liabilities when realization of the tax position is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the tax position meet the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Company’s future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which can be difficult to determine and can only be estimated. Management estimates that it is more likely than not that the Company will not generate adequate net profits to use the deferred tax assets; and consequently, a valuation allowance was recorded for all deferred tax assets.
A reconciliation of income tax expense at the federal statutory rate to income tax expense at the Company’s effective rate is as follows at March 31, 2017 and 2016:
March 31, 2017 | March 31, 2016 | |||||||

NOTE 12 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Shares held for non-consenting shareholders — In connection with the Share Exchange Agreement certain shareholders of Dandrit Denmark had not been identified or did not consent to the exchange of shares. In accordance with Section 70 of the Danish Companies Act and the Articles of Association of DanDrit Denmark, the Non-Consenting Shareholders that did not exchange the DanDrit Denmark equity interests owned by such Non-Consenting Shareholders for shares of the Company, will be entitled to receive up to 185,053 shares of common stock of the Company that each such Non-Consenting Shareholder would have been entitled to receive if such shareholder had consented to the Share Exchange. The 185,053 shares have been reflected as issued and outstanding in the accompanying financial statements.
Clinical Trial Agreements — DanDrit Denmark signed a contract of collaboration with the University Hospital IRCCS “San Martino” - IST – National Institute for Cancer Research, known as the San Martino Hospital of Genoa. Dr. Alberto Sobrero, the Head of the Medical Oncology Unit at the San Martino Hospital, is principal investigator of the randomized multicenter study. The collaboration relates to a Phase III adjuvant study of DanDrit’s vaccine in patients with no evident disease (“NED”) stage IV colorectal cancer (“CRC”). The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of DanDrit’sMelCancerVac® (“MCV”) in stage IV CRC patients rendered disease free after the completion of standard treatments in accordance with local practices.
On April 28, 2015 the Company entered into a service agreement with Fondazione Giscad per la Ricerca sui Tumori to support Dandrit in a clinical trial to be conducted in Italy.
Patient Name Use Program Agreements — On December 16, 2013, DanDrit Denmark entered into an agreement with a Dutch company (the “MCV Partner”) regarding a Patient Name Use Program (PNU) for the Company’s MCV. This program will allow DanDrit Denmark to sell MCV for a year of treatment (10 vaccines) to cancer patients through the MCV Partner. The MCV Partner offers a worldwide online platform providing access to non-registered medicines for patients with life threatening diseases. The MCV Partner is a turnkey solution and will be in charge of regulatory, recruitment, logistics, and pharmacovigilance. The Company will pay the MCV Partner a royalty on a country to country basis for 20 years on MCV sales sold under the agreement. Either party may terminate the agreement with 180 day written notice.
On April 23, 2015, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Riyadh Pharma in Saudi Arabia to promote cooperation in the manufacturing and marketing of DanDrit's dendritic cell cancer vaccine.
Manufacturing Agreements — On January 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Cellin Technologies for the manufacture of the MCV Cancer vaccine. The agreement has expired as of the filing date.
On August 8, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Cellin Technologies for the manufacture of the Melanoma Cell Lysate. The agreement has expired as of the filing date.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — The FDA has extensive regulatory authority over biopharmaceutical products (drugs and biological products), manufacturing protocols and procedures and the facilities in which they will be manufactured. Any new bio product intended for use in humans is subject to rigorous testing requirements imposed by the FDA with respect to product efficacy and safety, possible toxicity and side effects. FDA approval for the use of new bio products (which can never be assured) requires several rounds of extensive preclinical testing and clinical investigations conducted by the sponsoring pharmaceutical company prior to sale and use of the product. At each stage, the approvals granted by the FDA include the manufacturing process utilized to produce the product. Accordingly, the Company’s cell systems used for the production of therapeutic or bio therapeutic products are subject to significant regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, as amended.
Product liability — The contract production services for therapeutic products offered exposes an inherent risk of liability as bio therapeutic substances manufactured, at the request and to the specifications of customers, could foreseeably cause adverse effects. The Company seeks to obtain agreements from contract production customers indemnifying and defending the Company from any potential liability arising from such risk. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining such agreements in the future or that such indemnification agreements will adequately protect the Company against potential claims relating to such contract production services. The Company may also be exposed to potential product liability claims by users of its products. A successful partial or completely uninsured claim against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
Employment Agreements — Parent and its subsidiary have an employment agreement with officers of the Company.

Contingencies — The Company is from time to time involved in routine legal and administrative proceedings and claims of various types. While any proceedings or claim contains an element of uncertainty, management does not expect a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc.

The Company's plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving the continued expansion of business. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes its assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate.

Description of Business
We are a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing targeted oncology vaccines that address major medical needs to advance cancer care. We are developing a polytopic dendritic cell vaccine cancer immunotherapy, which address patient populations of cancer survivors to prevent recurrence. Our lead product candidate, MCV, is a dendritic cell vaccine that could strengthen the immune response in colorectal cancer patients. In December 2013, DanDrit Denmark entered into an agreement with a Dutch company that provides access to non-registered medicines for patients with life threatening diseases, regarding a Patient Name Use Program (PNU) for MCV. This program will allow us to sell to the Dutch company MCV for one year of treatment (10 vaccines) to cancer patients.
The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on January 18, 2011 under the name “Putnam Hills Corp.” as a vehicle to pursue a business combination through the acquisition of, or merger with, an operating business. We filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 12, 2011.

On February 12, 2014, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Share Exchange Agreement, Parent acquired approximately 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of DanDrit Denmark and as a result became the parent of DanDrit Denmark. Prior to such Share Exchange there were 5,000,000 shares of its common stock of Parent outstanding. The Parent and a shareholder agreed to cancel 4,400,000 shares of its common stock and issued 1,440,000 shares of common stock for legal and consulting services related to the Share Exchange and a future financing. At the time of the Share Exchange, the outstanding shares of the common stock of DanDrit Denmark were exchanged for 1.498842 shares of Parent’s common stock, for a total of 6,000,000 shares of common stock (including 185,053 shares of common stock reserved for issuance in accordance with Section 70 of the Danish Companies Act and the Articles of Association of DanDrit Denmark to the Non-Consenting Shareholders, deemed issued and outstanding for accounting purposes). Following the closing of the Share Exchange, DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc., the wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, merged with and into the Company, thereby changing the Company’s name to “DanDrit Biotech USA, Inc.”
On February 14, 2014, Parent filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) to register 2,400,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $5.00 per share in an initial public offering of up to an aggregate of $12,000,000 in gross proceeds. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on August 14, 2014 (the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering, the Company issued and sold an aggregate 1,493,290 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $5,466,450 and total aggregate gross proceeds of $5,310,089 raised in the Offerings.
On December 31, 2014, the Company received $2,000,000 in connection with a private offering of 400,000 shares of common stock at an offering price of $5.00 per share.
On September 24, 2014, DanDrit Denmark signed a contract of collaboration with the University Hospital IRCCS “San Martino” - IST – National Institute for Cancer Research, known as the San Martino Hospital of Genoa. Dr. Alberto Sobrero, the Head of the Medical Oncology Unit at the San Martino Hospital, is principal investigator of the randomized multicenter study. The collaboration relates to a Phase III adjuvant study of DanDrit’s vaccine in patients with no evident disease stage IV colorectal cancer. The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of DanDrit’s MelCancerVac® (“MCV”) in stage IV CRC patients rendered disease free after the completion of standard treatments in accordance with local practices.
During April 2016 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire OncoSynergy, Inc. On October 31, 2016, the Company and OncoSynergy entered into the First Amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the date to close the acquisition was amended from October 31, 2016 to December 31, 2016. The Purchase Agreement expired by its terms on December 31, 2016.
On March 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company terminated Eric J. Leire as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately, and Mr. Leire resigned, effective immediately, as a director of the Company. The Board appointed Mr. Aldo Petersen, a Director of the Company, to serve as Chief Executive Officer and for Soren Degn to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective immediately.
The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and exemptions from the requirements of Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to hold a nonbinding advisory vote of shareholders on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
The Company has also elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which our revenues exceed $1 billion, (2) the date on which we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, (3) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (4) when the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter. To the extent that we continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company”, as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, after we cease to qualify as an emerging growth company, certain of the exemptions available to us as an emerging growth company may continue to be available to us as a smaller reporting company, including: (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act; (2) scaled executive compensation disclosures; and (3) the requirement to provide only two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically satisfied our capital and liquidity requirements through funding from our largest shareholders, the issuance of convertible notes (which over time have been converted into shares of our common stock) and the sale of common stock.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $33,699 in cash and working deficit of $(1,753,707) as compared to June 30, 2016, when the Company had $23,368 in cash and working deficit of $(775,750). The increase in cash and working capital is primarily due to the Company’s efforts to secure financings through equity offering and expenses for research and development attributable to the Company engaging an entity to perform Phase III clinical trial of MelCancerVac™.
Following is a summary of the company’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred significant losses, has not yet been successful in establishing profitable operations and has short-term obligations in excess of anticipated cash. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In this regard, management plans to mitigate this doubt by raising additional funds through debt and/or equity offerings. The Company is attempting to raise capital through a private placement offering, and as of May 15, 2017 has raised $3,510,000 from the sale of 2,700,000 shares of common stock at $1.30 per share together with warrants to purchase 5,400,000 shares of common stock having a strike price of $1.30 per share. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising funds through the debt or equity or achieving profitable operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
We may also need additional funds for possible future strategic acquisitions of businesses, products or technologies complementary to our business. If additional funds are required, we may raise such funds from time to time through public or private sales of equity or debt securities. Financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and our failure to raise capital when needed could materially adversely impact our growth plans and our financial condition and results of operations.

A 6% Promissory Note payable to NLBDIT 2010 Enterprises, LLC, an entity controlled by a shareholder of the Company, was acquired by the Company in the reverse acquisition, payable on February 12, 2014 upon the completion date of the Share Exchange. As of March 31, 2017, and 2016, the outstanding balance on the note, including accrued interest, was $48,996 and $46,648, respectively.

Results of Operations
The Company’s sole source of operations is through its wholly owned Danish subsidiary, DanDrit Biotech A/S (DanDrit Denmark). There can be no assurance that DanDrit Denmark will be successful in obtaining US Food and Drug Administration approval of its colorectal vaccine, MCV, nor produce sufficient revenues from MCV to sustain operations. It is management's assertion that these circumstances may hinder the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months shall be to continue its efforts to raise capital.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Emerging Growth Company
As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. This election allows us to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates
The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are not choosing to “opt out” of this provision. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable. As a result of our election, not to “opt out” of Section 107, DanDrit’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
For a full explanation of our accounting policies, see Note 1 to the financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”) are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for the Company. The Certifying Officers have designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information is made known to them, particularly during the period in which this Report was prepared.
The Certifying Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company used the “Internal Control over Financial Reporting Integrated Framework” issued by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) to conduct an extensive review of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Exchange Act, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15-d-15(e)) as of the end of each of the periods covered by this Report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that the information we were required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The deficiencies are attributed to the fact that the Company does not have adequate resources to address complex accounting issues, as well as an inadequate number of persons to whom it can segregate accounting tasks within the Company so as to ensure the segregation of duties between those persons who approve and issue payment from those persons who are responsible to record and reconcile such transactions within the Company’s accounting system. These control deficiencies will be monitored and attention will be given to the matter as we continue to accelerate through our current growth stage.
The Certifying Officers based their conclusion on the fact that the Company has identified material weaknesses in controls over financial reporting, detailed below. In order to reduce the impact of these weaknesses to an acceptable level, the Company has contracted with consultants with expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC financial reporting standards to review and compile all financial information prior to filing that information with the SEC. However, even with the added expertise of these consultants, we still expect to be deficient in our internal controls over disclosure and procedures until sufficient capital is available to hire the appropriate internal accounting staff and individuals with requisite GAAP and SEC financial reporting knowledge. There have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls.
