Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida corporation, with its principal place of business located at 4 Nancy Court, Suite 4, Wappingers Falls, NY 12590. The Company has, over time, moved into a diversified life sciences technology and consumer products company, with its mission to operate a revenue generating business, while continuing to evaluate potential acquisition candidates operating in the life sciences technology and consumer products spaces.

Tauriga Pharma Corp.

On January 4, 2018, the Company announced the formation of a wholly owned subsidiary in Delaware, now known as Tauriga Pharma Corp. This subsidary’s focus is on the development of a pharmaceutical product line that is synergistic with the Company’s primary CBD product line. Currently, the plan is to initially create a pharmaceutical line of products to address nausea symptoms related to chemotherapy treatment in patients, which we will submit for clinical trials and to regulatory agencies for approval.

On March 18, 2020, the Company filed a Provisional U.S. Patent Application covering its pharmaceutical grade version of Tauri-Gum™. This patent application, filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office (“U.S.P.T.O.”), titled: “MEDICATED CBD COMPOSITIONS, METHODS OF MANUFACTURING, AND METHODS OF TREATMENT.” The Company’s proposed pharmaceutical grade version of Tauri-Gum™ is being developed for nausea regulation, intended specifically to target patients subjected to ongoing chemotherapy treatment(s) (the “Indication”). The delivery system for this pharmaceutical product is an improved version of the existing “Tauri-Gum™” chewing gum formulation based on continued research and development. The Company converted this provisional patent application into a U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application March 17, 2021.

On March 17, 2021, the Company converted its U.S. Provisional Patent Application (filed on March 17, 2020) to a U.S. Non-Provisional Patent Application. This non-provisional patent application relates to the Company’s proposed pharmaceutical cannabinoid chewing gum delivery system for treatment of nausea derived from active chemotherapy treatment.

Also on March 17, 2021, the Company filed an additional U.S. Provisional Patent Application relating to alternative pharmaceutical cannabinoid delivery systems.

On March 17, 2021, the Company filed an International Patent Application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”), a cooperative agreement entered into by more than 130 countries with the purpose of bringing international conformity to the filing and preliminary evaluation of patent applications. This application relates to the Company’s proposed pharmaceutical cannabinoid chewing gum delivery system being developed to treat nausea derived from active chemotherapy treatment.

The PCT application is published by the International Bureau at the World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”), based in Geneva, Switzerland, in one of the ten “languages of publication”: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)

On May 31, 2019, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) held public hearings to obtain scientific data and information about the safety, manufacturing, product quality, marketing, labeling, and sale of products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds, including CBD. The hearing came approximately five months after the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (more commonly known as the Farm Bill), went into effect and removed industrial hemp from the Schedule I prohibition under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) (industrial hemp means cannabis plants and derivatives that contain no more than 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, on a dry weight basis).

Though the Farm Bill removed industrial hemp from the Schedule I list, the Farm Bill preserved the regulatory authority of the FDA over cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds used in food and pharmaceutical products under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and section 351 of the Public Health Service Act. The FDA has been clear that it intends to use this authority to regulate cannabis and cannabis-derived products, including CBD, in the same manner as any other food or drug ingredient. In addition to holding the hearing, the agency had requested comments by July 2, 2019 regarding any health and safety risks of CBD use, and how products containing CBD are currently produced and marketed, which comment period was concluded on July 16, 2019. As of the date hereof, the FDA has taken the position that it is unlawful to put into interstate commerce food products containing hemp derived CBD, or to market CBD as, or in, a dietary supplement. Furthermore, since the closure of the FDA hearings on this issue, some state and local agencies have issued a ban on the sale of any food or beverages containing CBD. There have been legislative efforts at the federal level, which seek to provide clear guidance to industry stakeholders regarding how to comply with applicable FDA law with respect to CBD and other hemp derived cannabinoids. However, such legislative efforts have been limited and as of this date, these legislative efforts require extensive further approvals, including approval from both houses of Congress and the President of the United States, before being enacted into law, if at all.

FDA Clinical Trial Process – United States Drug Development

Furthermore, with respect to Company’s developing CBG and additional cannabinoid product lines, the FDA has provided no guidance as to how cannabinoids other than CBD (such as CBG) shall be regulated under the FD&C Act, and it is unclear at this time how such potential regulation could affect the results of the operations or prospects of the Company or this product line.

In the United States, the FDA regulates drugs, medical devices and combinations of drugs and devices, or combination products, under the FDCA and its implementing regulations. Drugs are also subject to other federal, state and local statutes and regulations. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations requires the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with the applicable U.S. requirements at any time during the product development process, approval process or after approval, may subject an applicant to administrative or judicial sanctions. These sanctions could include, among other actions, the FDA’s refusal to approve pending applications, withdrawal of an approval, a clinical hold, untitled or warning letters, requests for voluntary product recalls or withdrawals from the market, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts, restitution, disgorgement, or civil or criminal penalties. Any agency or judicial enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on us.

The process required by the FDA before a drug may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

● completion of extensive pre-clinical in vitro and animal studies to evaluate safety and pharmacodynamic effects, formulation development, analytical method development, and manufacturing of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and drug product for clinical trials in accordance with applicable regulations, including the FDA’s Current Good Laboratory Practice (cGLP) regulations and Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations;

● submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin;

● performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials in accordance with an applicable IND and other clinical study related regulations, sometimes referred to as Current Good Clinical Practice (cGCPs), to establish the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug for its proposed indication, and API and drug product scale-up for registration batch production and stability;

● submission to the FDA of a New Drug Application (NDA);

REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED)

FDA Clinical Trial Process – United States Drug Development (Continued)

● satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the product, or components thereof, are produced to assess compliance with the FDA’s cGMP requirements;

● potential FDA audit of the clinical trial sites that generated the data in support of the NDA; and

● FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing or sale.

Once a pharmaceutical product candidate is identified for development, it enters the pre-clinical testing stage. Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product characterization, drug product formulation development and stability, as well as pharmacology and toxicology animal studies. An IND Sponsor must submit the results of the pre-clinical tests, together with manufacturing information, analytical data and any available clinical data or literature, to the FDA as part of the IND. The sponsor must also include a protocol detailing, among other things, the objectives of the initial clinical trial, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated if the initial clinical trial lends itself to an efficacy evaluation. Some pre-clinical testing may continue even after the IND is submitted. The IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA raises concerns or questions related to a proposed clinical trial and places the trial on a clinical hold within that 30-day period. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before the clinical trial can begin. Clinical holds also may be imposed by the FDA at any time before or during clinical trials due to safety concerns or non-compliance and may be imposed on all drug products within a certain class of drugs. The FDA also can impose partial clinical holds, for example, prohibiting the initiation of clinical trials of a certain duration or for a certain dose.

All clinical trials must be conducted under the supervision of one or more qualified investigators in accordance with GCP regulations. These regulations include the requirement that all research subjects provide informed consent in writing before their participation in any clinical trial. Further, an IRB must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at any institution, and the IRB must conduct continuing review and reapprove the study at least annually. An IRB considers, among other things, whether the risks to individuals participating in the clinical trial are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB also approves the information regarding the clinical trial and the consent form that must be provided to each clinical trial subject or his or her legal Representative and must monitor the clinical trial until completed.

Each new clinical protocol and any amendments to the protocol must be submitted for FDA review, and to the IRBs for approval. Protocols detail, among other things, the objectives of the clinical trial, dosing procedures, subject selection and exclusion criteria, and the parameters to be used to monitor subject safety.

Human clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases that may overlap or be combined. The phases are described below. For the TAUG Pharma product, however, the safety profile of the API is known, and a Phase 1 program is not expected. Therefore, it is anticipated that that the first-time-in-human (FTIH) study will be a Phase 2 study.

● Phase 1. The product is initially introduced into a small number of healthy human subjects or patients and tested for safety, dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution and excretion and, if possible, to gain early evidence on effectiveness. In the case of some products for severe or life-threatening diseases, especially when the product is suspected or known to be unavoidably toxic, the initial human testing may be conducted in patients.

● Phase 2. Involves clinical trials in a limited patient population to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks, to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of the product for specific targeted diseases and to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and schedule.

● Phase 3. Clinical trials are undertaken to further evaluate dosage, clinical efficacy and safety in an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites. These clinical trials are intended to establish the overall risk/benefit relationship of the product and provide an adequate basis for product labeling.

REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED)

Post-approval trials, sometimes referred to as Phase 4 clinical trials, may be conducted after initial marketing approval. These studies are used to gain additional experience from the treatment of patients in the intended therapeutic indication. In certain instances, the FDA may mandate the performance of Phase 4 trials. Companies that conduct certain clinical trials also are required to register them and post the results of completed clinical trials on a government-sponsored database, such as ClinicalTrials.gov in the United States, within certain timeframes. Failure to do so can result in fines, adverse publicity and civil and criminal sanctions.

Progress reports detailing the results of the clinical trials, among other information, must be submitted at least annually to the FDA, and written IND safety reports must be submitted to the FDA and the investigators for serious and unexpected adverse events, findings from other studies that suggest a significant risk to humans exposed to the product, findings from animal or in vitro testing that suggest a significant risk to human subjects, and any clinically important increase in the rate of a serious suspected adverse reaction over that listed in the protocol or Investigator Brochure. Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials may not be completed successfully within any specified period, if at all. The FDA or the clinical trial Sponsor may suspend or terminate a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the research subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. Similarly, an IRB can suspend or terminate approval of a clinical trial at its institution if the clinical trial is not being conducted in accordance with the IRB’s requirements or if the product has been associated with unexpected serious harm to patients. Additionally, some clinical trials are overseen by an independent group of qualified experts organized by the clinical trial sponsor, known as a data safety monitoring board or committee. This group provides authorization for whether a trial may move forward at designated check points based on access to certain data from the study. The clinical trial Sponsor may also suspend or terminate a clinical trial based on evolving business objectives and/or competitive climate.

The manufacturing process must be capable of consistently producing quality batches of the product candidate and, among other things, the manufacturer must develop methods for testing the identity, strength, quality and purity of the final product. Additionally, appropriate packaging must be selected and tested. Stability studies must be conducted to demonstrate that the product candidate does not undergo unacceptable deterioration over its shelf life.

NDA and FDA Review Process

The results of product development, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, along with descriptions of the manufacturing process, analytical tests conducted on the drug, proposed labeling and other relevant information, are submitted to the FDA as part of an NDA for a new drug, requesting approval to market the product. The submission of an NDA is subject to the payment of a substantial user fee, and the sponsor of an approved NDA is also subject to an annual program user fee; although a waiver of such fee may be obtained under certain limited circumstances. For example, the agency will waive the application fee for the first human drug application that a small business or its affiliate submits for review.

The FDA reviews all NDAs submitted before it accepts them for filing and may request additional information rather than accepting an NDA for filing. The FDA typically decides on accepting an NDA for filing within 60 days of receipt. The decision to accept the NDA for filing means that the FDA has made a threshold determination that the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. Under the goals and policies agreed to by the FDA under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”), the FDA’s goal to complete its substantive review of a standard NDA and respond to the applicant is ten months from the receipt of the NDA. The FDA does not always meet its PDUFA goal dates, and the review process is often significantly extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification and may go through multiple review cycles.

After the NDA submission is accepted for filing, the FDA reviews the NDA to determine, among other things, whether the proposed product is safe and effective for its intended use, and whether the product is being manufactured in accordance with cGMPs to assure and preserve the product’s identity, strength, quality and purity. The FDA may refer applications for novel drug products or drug products which present difficult questions of safety or efficacy to an advisory committee, typically a panel that includes clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved and under what conditions. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions. The FDA will likely re-analyze the clinical trial data, which could result in extensive discussions between the FDA and us during the review process. The review and evaluation of an NDA by the FDA is extensive and time consuming and may take longer than originally planned to complete, and we may not receive a timely approval, if at all.

REGULATORY MATTERS (CONTINUED)

Before approving an NDA, the FDA will conduct a pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facilities for the new product to determine whether they comply with cGMPs. The FDA will not approve the product unless it determines that the manufacturing processes and facilities are in compliance with cGMP requirements and adequate to assure consistent production of the product within required specifications. In addition, before approving an NDA, the FDA may also audit data from clinical trials to ensure compliance with GCP requirements. After the FDA evaluates the application, manufacturing process and manufacturing facilities, it may issue an approval letter or a Complete Response Letter. An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the drug with specific prescribing information for specific indications. A Complete Response Letter indicates that the review cycle of the application is complete and the application will not be approved in its present form. A Complete Response Letter usually describes all the specific deficiencies in the NDA identified by the FDA. The Complete Response Letter may require additional clinical data and/or an additional pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial(s), and/or other significant and time-consuming requirements related to clinical trials, nonclinical studies or manufacturing. If a Complete Response Letter is issued, the applicant may either resubmit the NDA, addressing all the deficiencies identified in the letter, or withdraw the application. Even if such data and information are submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide that the NDA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. Data obtained from clinical trials are not always conclusive, and the FDA may interpret data differently than the Sponsor interprets the same data.

New York State Department of Health

The New York State Department of Health (NYDPH) has begun implementing regulations concerning the processing and retail sale of hemp derived cannabinoids. Under the regulations, “cannabinoid” is broadly defined as “any phytocannabinoid found in hemp, including but not limited to, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabidiolic acid (CBDA), cannabinol (CBN), cannabigerol (CBG), cannabichromene (CBC), cannabicyclol (CBL), cannabivarin (CBV), tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), cannabidivarin (CBDV), cannabichromevarin (CBCV), cannabigerovarin (CBGV), cannabigerol monomethyl ether (CBGM), cannabielsoin (CBE), cannabicitran (CBT).

These regulations came into effect on January 1, 2021, and all “cannabinoid hemp processors” and “cannabinoid hemp retailers” operating within the state of New York must be licensed by the NYDPH. The regulations expressly allow for food and beverages to contain “cannabinoids”, so long as such products meet certain requirements. To this end, the Company has submitted its license application with the NYDPH in compliance with this legislation. These regulations are evolving and the NYDPH recently issued a set of regulations to address the use of industrial hemp derived Δ8- Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8 THC) and Δ10- Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ10 THC) in cannabinoid hemp products manufactured and sold in New York.

The product requirements under the current regulations, include but are not limited to: the product must not contain more than 0.3% total Δ9- Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration; the product must not contain tobacco or alcohol; the product must not be in the form of an injectable, transdermal patch, inhaler, suppository, flower product including cigarette, cigar or pre-roll, or any other disallowed form as determined by the NYDPH; if the product is sold as a food or beverage product, it must not have more than 25mg of cannabinoids per product; and, if sold as an inhalable cannabinoid hemp product, the product will be subject to a number of additional safety measures.

Furthermore, all cannabinoid products sold at retail are subject to a series of labeling requirements. All such products must be labeled with the amount of cannabinoids in the product and the amount of milligrams per serving. If the product contains THC, the amount of THC in the product needs to be stated on the label in milligrams on a per serving and per package basis. In addition, all products are required to have a scannable bar code or QR code which links to a certificate of analysis and the packaging is prohibited from being attractive to consumers under 18 years of age. Products are also required to list appropriate warnings for consumer awareness. The Company’s entire product line will comply with the above standards.

See our Risk Factors and going concern opinion in this report for more information about these items, as well as certain related disclosures included our Results of Operations under the heading “Going Concern”.

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding, success in developing and marketing its products and the level of competition and potential regulatory enforcement actions. These risks and others are described in greater detail in the Risk Factors set forth in this periodic report and our annual reports that we have filed and will also file in the future.

Nausea Derived from Active Chemotherapy Treatment

The Company announced that it has progressed development efforts on its ongoing Pharmaceutical development project to deliver an Rx product (TAU 413) to treat Nausea Derived from Active Chemotherapy Treatment. The Company plans to perform in vitro studies with TAU 413 during the next quarter. In vivo testing and product formulation development will follow. If these efforts are successful, and funding is secured, the company intends to submit an IND during the 2022.

Strategic Marketing and Consulting Agreement with Mayer & Associates

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into a 12-month Strategic Marketing and Consulting Agreement with Mayer & Associates. Under this agreement the Company paid $150,000 as well as the issuance of 3,500,000 shares of restricted common shares of Company stock. Half of the cash payment ($75,000) was paid upon execution of this agreement and the other half was paid approximately 90 days thereafter. Upon execution, the Company issued 2,200,000 of the above-mentioned shares. The remaining 1,300,000 above-mentioned shares were issued approximately 90 days after this contract was executed. Mayer and Associates will provide the Company with opportunities relating to the world of professional sports, with respect to its products and product lines. This includes, but is not limited to, introductions to professional sports leagues, celebrity (professional athletes) influencers/brand ambassadors/brand liaison(s), research and development opportunities, hosting of small periodic events for the Company and a diversified group of high-profile contacts and relationships, use social media exposure, podcasts backing of various elements from professional sports as well as assist the Company in advising of potential merger partners and developing corporate partnering relationships. The Company, at the sole discretion of its board, may pay an additional payment of $75,000 as permitted under this agreement based on performance. This additional payment will be recorded as a contingent liability on the Company condensed consolidated balance sheet until formally authorized by the Company’s board of directors. This agreement is terminable after six months. As of the date of this quarterly report date, the aforementioned shares have been issued.

GOING CONCERN

During the fourth quarter of the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company began sales and marketing efforts for its Mint flavored Tauri-Gum^TM product. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company recognized net sales of $285,319 and a gross profit of $122,692. During the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized net sales of $140,713 and a gross profit of $66,286. At September 30, 2021, the Company had a working capital surplus of $6,074 compared to $1,229,211 for the year ended March 31, 2021. The current lower surplus is largely resultant from increased debt levels. Although the Company has a working capital surplus, there is no guarantee that this will continue therefore it still believes that there is uncertainty with respect to continuing as a going concern.

On July 1, 2019, months after the NYC Department of Heath announced a ban on cannabidiol in foods and beverages (mainly focused on restaurants and baked goods), the result of which was that the updated New York City Health Code now includes an embargoing of CBD-infused Edible(s) Products (including packaged products). The Company is hopeful that due to the recent regulatory regime for cannabinoid products implemented by the NYDPH, the New York City Council will remove the current CBD ban and implement regulations surrounding CBD products in a logical and prompt manner. The Company believes it is well positioned under the current regulatory structure, and has taken a conservative approach towards its products, including, for example, ensuring that its product manufacturer periodically tests for compliance with the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, such as utilizing CBD oils from hemp plants which contain 0.3% or less THC content. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, the State of New York has determined that it is allowable to sell CBD Infused Edible products in the forms of both food and drink (inclusive of chewing gum). It was also determined that no time can CBD be sold in products that contain either alcohol or tobacco. Additionally, the State of New York also said that NO CBD product may be sold if it contains more than 0.3% (1/333rd by Composition) THC. No Individual food or beverage product may contain more than 25mg of Hemp-Extracted Cannabinoids (“CBD” or “CBG”) per serving. Food and drink infused with CBD and Other Hemp Extracts must be packaged by the manufacturer and extracts cannot be added at the retail level. The Company’s entire product line will comply with these standards.

The Company, in the short term, intends to continue funding its operations either through cash-on-hand or through financing alternatives. Management’s plans with respect to this include raising capital through equity markets to fund future operations as well as the possible sale of its remaining marketable securities which had a market value of $1,035,511 at September 30, 2021. In the event the Company cannot raise additional capital to fund and/or expand operations or fails to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenue, or if the regulatory landscape were to become more difficult or result in regulatory enforcement, it could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.

GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)

Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues in the short term, there can be no assurances that the revenues will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations to achieve profitability thereby eliminating its reliance on alternative sources of funding. Although management believes that the Company continues to strengthen its financial position over time, there is still no guarantee that profitable operations with sufficient cashflow to sustain operations can or will be achieved without the need of alternative financing, which is limited. These matters still raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as determined by management. The Company believes that there is uncertainty with respect to continuing as a going concern until the operating business can achieve sufficient sales to maintain profitable operations and sustain cash flow to operate the Company for a period of twelve months. In the event the Company does need to raise additional capital to fund operations or engage in a transaction, failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations.

Even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses, acquire new license agreements or ownership interests in life science companies and generate adequate revenues, or the agreements entered into recently are successful, there can be no assurances that the revenues will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as determined by management. However, the accompanying condensed 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activities of Tauriga Sciences, Inc., its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, its wholly-owned subsidiary Tauriga Pharma Corp. (f/k/a Tauriga Biz Dev Corp – or “Tauriga BDC” and referenced herein as Tauriga BDC for contextual purposes only in describing the Blink contractual arrangement), NFTauriga Corp. and Tauriga Sciences Limited. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. As of September 30, 2021, there is no activity in any of the Company’s subsidiaries other than Tauriga Pharma Corp.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has adopted provisions of ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions. The Company and its Chief Operating Decision Makers determined that the Company’s operations consist of two segments: (i) The first division consists of all retail, wholesale and e-commerce product sales of CBD/CBG Tauri-Gum^TM, Tauri-Gummies^TM, and other CBD/CBG products, and (ii) the second segment will be a research and development division that consist of liabilities and results from any activity relative to the progress in the development of the Company’s FDA IND application for Phase II Trial of its proposed pharmaceutical grade version of Tauri-Gum™. The cost basis investment in Aegea has been treated as a non-operating asset and will therefore not be reported as a part of the research and development division.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This standard provides a single set of guidelines for revenue recognition to be used across all industries and requires additional disclosures. The updated guidance introduces a five-step model to achieve its core principle of the entity recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the updated guidance effective October 1, 2017, using the full retrospective method. The new standard did not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations, as it did not change the manner or timing of recognizing revenue.

Under ASC 606, in order to recognize revenue, the Company is required to identify an approved contract with commitments to preform respective obligations, identify rights of each party in the transaction regarding goods to be transferred, identify the payment terms for the goods transferred, verify that the contract has commercial substance and verify that collection of substantially all consideration is probable. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have an impact on the Company’s operations or cash flows.

On March 29, 2018 the Company, through Tauriga BDC, entered into an independent sales representative agreement with Blink to be a non-exclusive independent sales representative. Under the agreement with Blink, the Company may solicit orders from potential customers for EV charging station placement. On June 29, 2018, the Company purchased four Blink Level 2 - 40” pedestal chargers for permanent placement in a retail location or locations whereby the Company will pay a variable annual fee based on 7% of total revenue per charging unit. The remainder of the proceeds will be split 80/20 between the Company and the host location owner or its assignee. The host location owner will pay for the cost of providing power to these unit as well as installation costs. As of September 30, 2021, we have not installed any of these machines in any locations, and no revenue has been generated through the Blink contract. The Company has decided to abandon this business line, and therefore, we have reclassified these assets as held for sale.

The Company recognizes revenue upon the satisfaction of the performance obligation. The Company considers the performance obligation met upon shipment of the product or delivery of the product. For ecommerce orders, the Company’s products are shipped by a fulfillment company and payment is made in advance of shipment either through credit card or PayPal. The Company also delivers the product to its customers that they market to in the metropolitan New York Tri-State area that are not covered under any existing distribution agreements. The Company generally collects payment within 30 to 60 days of completion of its performance obligation, and the Company has no agency relationships. The Company recognized net revenue from operations in the amount of $140,713 during the six months ended September 30, 2021 and $285,319 during the year ended March 31, 2021. All revenue is from the sale of the Company’s Tauri-Gum^TM product line and there were trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $4,404 outstanding for these sales, as of September 30, 2021.

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts, which includes sales returns, sales allowances and bad debts. The allowance adjusts the carrying value of trade receivables for the estimate of accounts that will ultimately not be collected. An allowance for doubtful accounts is generally established as trade receivables age beyond their due dates, whether as bad debts or as sales returns and allowances. As past due balances age, higher valuation allowances are established, thereby lowering the net carrying value of receivables. The amount of valuation allowance established for each past-due period reflects the Company’s historical collections experience, including that related to sales returns and allowances, as well as current economic conditions and trends. The Company also qualitatively establishes valuation allowances for specific problem accounts and bankruptcies, and other accounts that the Company deems relevant for specifically identified allowances. The amounts ultimately collected on past-due trade receivables are subject to numerous factors including general economic conditions, the financial condition of individual customers and the terms of reorganization for accounts exiting bankruptcy. Changes in these conditions impact the Company’s collection experience and may result in the recognition of higher or lower valuation allowances. At September 30, 2021, the Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $99,401.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

SALES REFUNDS

The Company’s refund policy allows customers to return product for any reason except where the customer does not like the taste of the product. The customer has 30 days from the date of purchase to initiate the process. Returns are limited to one return or exchange per customer. Only purchases up to $100 qualify for a refund. Approved return/refund requests are typically processed within 1-2 business days. For product purchases made through a Tauri-Gum^TM distributor or retailer, the customer is required to work with original purchase location for any return or exchange. The Company has not established a reserve for returns as of September 30, 2021 however will monitor the refunds to estimate whether a reserve will be required.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include investment instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. At September 30, 2021, the Company’s cash on deposit with financial institutions did not exceed the total FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. At September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021, the Company had a cash balance of $28,698 and $49,826, respectively. The Company’s does not expect, in the near term, for its cash balance to exceed the total FDIC insurance limit of $250,000 for other than very short periods of time where the Company would use such cash in excess of insurance in the very short-term in operating activities. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institution, the Company holds its cash deposits in more than one financial institution and evaluates at least annually the rating of the financial institution in which it holds its deposits. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021.

INVESTMENT IN TRADING SECURITIES

Investment in trading securities consist of investments in shares of common stock of companies traded on public markets as well as publicly traded warrants of these companies should there be a market for them. These securities are carried on the Company’s balance sheet at fair value based on the closing price of the shares owned on the last trading day before the balance sheet date of this report. Fluctuations in the underlying bid price of the stocks result in unrealized gains or losses. The Company recognizes these fluctuations in value as other income or loss. For investments sold, the Company recognizes the gains and losses attributable to these investments as realized gains or losses in other income or loss.

INVESTMENT – COST METHOD

Investment in other companies that are not currently trading, are valued based on the cost method as the Company holds less than 20% ownership in these companies and has no influence over operational and financial decisions of the companies. The Company will evaluate, at least annually, whether impairment of these investments is necessary under ASC 320. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Company has recorded a loss on the impairment on two of its cost method investments in the amount of $24,406. The Company did not record a loss on the impairment on investments for the six months ended September 30, 2021.

INVENTORY

Inventory consists of finished goods in salable condition stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out method. The inventory consists of packaged and labeled salable inventory. Shipping of product to finished good inventory fulfilment center is also included in the total inventory cost. Shipping of product upon sale for e-commerce sales is paid by the customer upon ordering for orders of single packs of Tauri-Gum^TM. For multiple pack or wholesale product orders shipping cost is paid by the Company. As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s inventory on hand had a value of $379,989 compared to $201,372 at March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the Company wrote down all CBD infused chewing gum to a value of zero. During the six months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $123,826 as a write down of 10mg CBD infused chewing gum inventory. The Company does not intend or expect to sell this inventory and will use as marketing samples and other promotions.
