CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report includes forward-looking statements that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “targets,” “likely,” “aim,” “will,” “would,” “could,” and similar expressions or phrases identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operation, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about risks associated with:

 

 

Risks related to our business, including:

 

 

we have a history of losses;

 

 

our auditors have raised substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

 

we have a working capital deficit and need to raise additional capital to continue our business model;

 

 

the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our company; and

 

 

our reliance on our two officers and directors.

 

Risks related to regulation applicable to our industry, including:

 

 

compliance with existing laws and regulations and possible future changes in laws and regulations.

 

Risks related to the ownership of our securities, including:

 

 

the applicability of penny stock rules; and

 

 

material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; and

 

 

the significant dilution to our stockholders upon the conversion of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

You should read thoroughly this report and the documents that we refer to herein with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from and/or worse than what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements including those made in Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2022. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Innovation1 Biotech Inc. (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the state of Nevada in 2014, under the name of My Cloudz, Inc. Gridiron BioNutrients completed a reverse merger with My Cloudz, Inc. in October 2017 and the Company then changed its name to Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. Effective March 31, 2022, as approved by the shareholders, the name of the Company was changed from Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (trading symbol GVMP) to Innovation1 Biotech Inc. (trading symbol IVBT).

 

The Company is currently developing products using five proprietary preclinical prodrugs, all fully synthetic without connection to botanical sourcing: a mushroom-derived psychedelic molecule for treatment post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, a novel cannabinoid and tree bark derived psychedelic for treatment of addiction and three additional novel cannabinoid prodrugs addressing clinical indications of refractory pediatric epilepsy, hypertrophic scarring and ocular inflammation.

 

The Company has elected an August 31st year end.

 

Change in Control

 

On November 9, 2021, the Company completed the asset acquisition of ST Biosciences, Ltd., consisting substantially of intellectual property assets, relating to Mioxal® as discussed in Note 3 – Asset Acquisition. The closing of the acquisition resulted in a change of control of the Company. As part of the acquisition, Mr. Orr stepped down as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and assumed the role of the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Orr has since resigned from his position and as a director. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Jeffrey J. Kraws was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company. On December 6, 2022, Mr. Kraws stepped down as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. He remains a director. In addition, the Company agreed to appoint Jason Frankovich as a director of the Company subject to the Company’s compliance with Rule 14F-1 of the Exchange Act. Mr. Frankovich has since resigned as a director. On December 6, 2022, Frederick E. Pierce was appointed as the Interim Acting Chief Executive Officer.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s 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 had no revenue and a net loss of $631,666 for the three months ended November 30, 2022. The Company has working capital deficit of $1,793,174 and an accumulated deficit of $45,370,280 as of November 30, 2022. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the issuance of these financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The ability of the Company to fully commence its operations is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations and execution of its business plan. In response to these concerns, management plans to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing. Debt instruments may be convertible or non-convertible and will vary based on the Company’s needs and financing options available at such times. There can be no assurance that management’s plan will be successful. 

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

This summary of accounting policies for Innovation1 is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), which have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial information as of and for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 has been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. These unaudited financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 15, 2022.

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. for complete financial statements.

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 to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and other accrued liabilities approximate cost because of their short maturities. The Company measures and reports fair value in accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value investments.

 

Fair value, as defined in ASC 820, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of an asset should reflect its highest and best use by market participants, principal (or most advantageous) markets, and an in-use or an in-exchange valuation premise. The fair value of a liability should reflect the risk of nonperformance, which includes, among other things, the Company’s credit risk.

 

Valuation techniques are generally classified into three categories: the market approach; the income approach; and the cost approach. The selection and application of one or more of the techniques may require significant judgment and are primarily dependent upon the characteristics of the asset or liability, and the quality and availability of inputs. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 also provides fair value hierarchy for inputs and resulting measurement as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are supported by little or no market activity, and that are significant to the fair values.

 

Fair value measurements are required to be disclosed by the Level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (in Level 3 measurements) are subject to expanded disclosure requirements including a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (i) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings, and a description of where those gains or losses included in earning are reported in the statement of income.

 

The Company did not have any Level 1 or Level 2 assets and liabilities at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022. The Company had Level 3 liabilities related to outstanding warrants at November 30, 2022. All financial assets and liabilities approximately fair value.

 

Other Receivable

 

During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Company discovered duplicate withdrawals from its payroll processing company and has recorded a receivable on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2022. At the close of the November 30, 2022 quarter, these funds have not yet been reimbursed. There were $56,421 and $56,421 outstanding receivables as of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, respectively.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed in the period incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income for the period.

 

Depreciation is computed for financial statement purposes on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives of the related assets and the modified accelerated cost recovery system for federal income tax purposes. The estimated useful lives of depreciable computers and other equipment are three years.

 

With the asset acquisition as discussed in Note 3 – Asset Acquisition the Company wrote off the remaining property and equipment as impaired in the accompanying statement of operations during the year ended August 31, 2022. Depreciation expense was $261 and $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

 

The Series B and Series B1 convertible preferred shares would convert to 8,083,542 shares of the Company’s common at November 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company would calculate diluted earnings per share by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders less preferred dividends by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. For the three month periods ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, potentially dilutive convertible preferred stock were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because they were anti-dilutive due to net losses in those periods.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year at September 1, 2021. Implementation of this ASU had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

As of November 30, 2022, there were several new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – ASSET ACQUISITION

 

On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into an asset acquisition agreement with ST Biosciences, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“STB”), of certain Transferred Assets, consisting substantially of their intellectual property relating to Mioxal®, a nutraceutical complex composed of essential amino acids, natural coenzymes and minerals. The Company acquired certain intellectual property, and patent rights, and no tangible assets and assumed certain liabilities of STB, as discussed below. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 9, 2021. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $350,000 in cash to Ingenius, paid cash of $500,000 to STB and issued 19,831,623 shares of Common Stock to STB valued at $40,654,827 or $2.05 per share based on the closing market price on November 5, 2021, which at the closing of the acquisition represented approximately 70% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, for an aggregate purchase price of $41,504,827, resulting in a change in control of the Company. The shares were issued in December 2021.

During the year ended August 31, 2022, additional intangibles of $28,773 were added related to the asset acquisition for payments made subsequent to the acquisition date.

 

The Mioxal® intellectual property, including the patent rights, was acquired by STB from Ingenius Biotech S.L, a Spanish corporation (“Ingenius”) on September 10, 2021. The Ingenius milestone and stock payments set forth in the Purchase Agreement between Ingenius and STB, were assumed by the Company in aggregate of $39,500,000 and are recorded in current and long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The first installment of $1,500,000 was due on January 15, 2022, the second installment of $1,500,000 on April 15, 2022 and a $3,500,000 payment was due within thirty business days following the occurrence of the milestone event. The milestone, a signed sales agreement with a third party to distribute Mioxal throughout Europe, was not reached and therefore the requirement for the milestone payment was forfeited and will never be owed. In addition, $15,000,000 was to be paid through the issuance of the Company’s common stock in three tranches beginning twelve months from execution of agreement with STB on September 10, 2021; 1) on September 10, 2022 - $4,000,000 (not issued as of the date of this filing), 2) on September 10, 2023 - $5,000,000, and 3) on September 10, 2024 - $6,000,000.

 

The remaining balance was to be paid on an earn-out basis whereunder Ingenius would earn an 8% royalty on all sales generated by Mioxal® until the balance was satisfied.

 

On January 13, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Purchase Agreement with Ingenius Biotech S.L. to modify the terms of the agreement dated September 10, 2021. Under the amended agreement, the first installment of $1,500,000 was due on June 30, 2022, with an additional extension of the due date to August 30, 2022 (not paid), and the second installment was due on December 31, 2022. See Sale of Mioxal Intangible Assets below for additional details. 

 

The Mioxal® asset had a 24-year life and was to be tested for impairment on an annual basis. During the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2022, amortization of $846,494 and $2,539,483 was expensed. The other intangible assets for $178,000 have a 21-year life. During the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2022, amortization of $2,119 and $6,357 was expensed. During the twelve months ended August 31, 2022, additional intangibles were added related to the asset acquisition in the amount of $38,638.

 

Impairment of Intangible Assets

 

At August 31, 2022, an asset impairment evaluation resulted in the Company recording $35,762,550 in impairment expense in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, and a carrying value of $42,980,076 for the intangible assets. The Company had recorded impairment expenses of $17,598 in previous quarters, to total $35,780,148 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022. The calculation of the carrying value of the Mioxal net assets was informed by the terms of the sale of those assets on November 7, 2022, as calculated below:

The assumptions used for estimated future royalty cash stream included 1) 5% royalty on gross margin for a five-year period of estimated sales in the United States, with a two-year introductory delay in taking the product to market, 2) a similar royalty on international sales, with an additional two-year introductory delay and an increased cost of 15% for additive distribution costs, 3) an estimate of approximately 200,000 units sold in year 1 of the projected royalty stream for a total sales estimate of approximately $7,500,000, and 4) sales growth rates of 100% for each of the years 2 through 4, decreasing to 60% in year 5. Growth rate in any subsequent year would be expected to drop off significantly or to 0%, however, those possible future years are not included in the project revenues, costs or gross merging. The projections of foundational sales volumes, revenues and costs were performed by industry experts in January 2022 as part of an independent product evaluation. As with all projections, Management cannot assure that the estimated amounts will be actualized.

 

Sale of the Mioxal Intangible Assets:

 

On November 7, 2022, the Company completed the disposition of all the assets, including intellectual property assets, and obligations relating to Mioxal® to Ingenius Biotech S.L., a corporation organized under the laws of Spain (“Ingenius”). As part of the disposition, certain shareholders of the Company transferred an aggregate of 350,000 shares of the Company’s currently outstanding common stock, to Ingenius and Ingenius agreed to pay the Company (i) $100,000 upon the first to occur of Ingenius’ first sale or commercialization of the Mioxal product or Ingenius’ sale, license, transfer or other disposition of the Mioxal product to a third party, and (ii) a 5% royalty on worldwide net sales of the Mioxal product by Ingenius or a third party commencing on the date of the first sale of Mioxal products and ending on the 18-month anniversary of the last to expire of any patent covering the Mioxal products. Additionally, Ingenius agreed to release the Company from all of its liabilities and obligations relating to the Mioxal products and indemnify the Company from all claims relating to the Mioxal product following the date of the disposition. After the disposition of the assets and liabilities related to Mioxal, the Company recognized a $3,380,076 royalty asset, recorded as an intangible asset on the consolidated balance sheet. The $100,000 of cash yet to be received is recorded as a long-term receivable.

 

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Short-Term Notes Payable

 

On September 14, 2017, the Company issued a $10,000 promissory note to a limited liability company. The loan bears interest at 5% and had a maturity date of September 15, 2018. The unpaid balance including accrued interest was 12,603 and $12,107 at November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company is in default with the repayment terms of the note. Interest of $125 and $125 was expensed during the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

 

Convertible Notes Payable

 

The Company has entered into a private placement to receive net cash proceeds up to $300,000, after the original issue discount, from secured convertible promissory notes with attached $0.08 warrants to purchase up to 4,411,764 shares of common stock. Each note is discounted 15% with a maturity date of 18 months from original issuance. The notes bear interest of 8% per annum to be paid monthly. Each note is convertible into common shares by dividing the outstanding principal on the note by the conversion price of $0.08. The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years at an exercise price of $0.08 per share. During the three months ended November 30, 2022, the Company received the first tranche of the convertible notes of $58,823 less a discount of $8,823, for cash proceeds of 50,000. The Company issued 735,294 warrants and recorded a fair value of $27,012 for the warrants.

 

The total fair value of the warrants was estimated using the following weighted average assumptions:

 

 

 

November 29,

2022

 

Market price of common stock on date of issuance

 

$

0.095

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

 

3.63%

Expected dividend yield

 

 

0

 

Expected term (in years)

 

 

7

 

Expected volatility

 

 

202.5%

 

Additionally, a beneficial conversion feature 22,988 was determined to exist, which represented the lesser of the conversion price of the convertible instrument or the per share fair value of the underlying stock into which it is convertible.  The fair value of the warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, which together consumed the value of the net proceeds, were charged to additional paid in capital at the date of issuance.

 

At November 30, 2022, the Company had outstanding convertible notes payable of $58,823, less remaining unamortized discounts of $56,103 for a net liability of $2,720. The Company recognized a total of $2,720 of discount amortization to interest expense during the three months ended November 30, 2022.

NOTE 5 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has a contract with two consulting and pharmaceutical firms owned by the former Chief Science Officer, Salzman Group LLC and Herring Creek Pharmaceuticals, under which research and development activities are performed on behalf of the Company. During the fiscal year 2022, the Company paid $150,000 for a security deposit, $131,500 for research and development fees and assumed $67,000 in a liability from ST Biosciences at the acquisition of the assets described in Note 3 Asset Acquisition. The $67,000 liability was released during the period and was credited to the Mioxal intangible asset. As of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, the Company owed $10,165 and $2,665 to these two firms and owed salary of $30,769 and $4,615 to Dr. Salzman. 

 

As of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, the Company owed Jeffrey Kraws, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, $121,154 and $17,308 in unpaid salary and $132,967 and $83,516 in unpaid bonuses, respectively.

 

As of November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022, the Company owed salary of $76,154 and $11,538, respectively, to Jason Frankovich, a former director.

 

NOTE 6 – LEASE LIABILITY

 

On January 1, 2022, we adopted ASC Topic 842 – Leases. Under this new guidance, lessees are required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases. Upon adoption, we recognized operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $619,825.

 

Lessee accounting

 

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Our assessment is based on (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether we obtain the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period and (3) whether we have the right to direct the use of the asset. Leases are classified as either finance leases or operating leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if any one of the following criteria are met: the lease transfers ownership of the asset by the end of the lease term, the lease contains an option to purchase the asset that is reasonably certain to be exercised, the lease term is for the majority of the remaining useful life of the asset or the present value of the lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not meet any one of these criteria. The lease classification affects the expense recognition in the income statement. Operating lease costs are recorded entirely in operating expenses. Finance lease costs are split, where amortization of the ROU asset is recorded in operating expenses and an implied interest component is recorded in interest expense.

 

Under the guidance of ASC 842, operating leases are included in right-of-use assets, current lease liabilities, and noncurrent lease liabilities on our balance sheets. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at transition date in determining the present value of future payments. The ROU asset includes any lease payments made but excludes lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred, if any. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Lease extensions

 

Many leases have options to either extend or terminate the lease. In determining the lease term, we considered all available contract extensions that are reasonably certain of occurring.

Operating leases

 

On January 1, 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease for office space. The lease is effective for 3 years from the commencement date with automatic renewal at the expiration date. The lease agreement may be terminated earlier upon ninety days’ prior written notice by either party. The lease requires adjustment upon renewal with an increase to the monthly rent by 10% of the monthly rent due for the month preceding such renewal date or market rate, whichever is the greater amount.

 

The following table summarizes balance sheet data related to leases at November 30, 2022 and August 31, 2022:

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Dividends

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

On September 30, 2022, a party identified as New You Inc. filed a complaint with the District Court of Clark County, Nevada against Innovation 1 Biotech, Inc, ST Biosciences LTD, Jeffrey Kraws and Jason Frankovich. The complaint alleges that during Mr. Frankovich’s service to New You Inc. as Chairman of the Board of Directors, concurrent with Mr. Frankovich’s and Mr. Kraws’s services as executives of ST Biosciences LTD, Mr. Frankovich converted funds away from New You Inc. to satisfy obligations of ST Biosciences LTD and/or Innovation1 and/or to enrich Frankovich and Kraws. The amount of the claim is a total of $249,020 plus damages in excess of $30,000 and includes a claim for legal fees. The Company’s legal firm has evaluated the claims of the complaint and together with Innovation1 management believes the claims to be without merit. The Company intends to defend against the complaint and believes any potential liability to be $0.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of November 30, 2022, through the date which the condensed consolidated financial statements were filed.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of several factors, including those set forth under the Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and Business sections in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on December 15, 2022 and our other filings with the SEC. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our businesses, and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risk factors described throughout this report.

 

Overview

 

Effective March 31, 2022, as approved by the shareholders, the name of the Company was changed from Gridiron BioNutrients, Inc. (trading symbol GVMP) to Innovation1 Biotech Inc. (trading symbol IVBT).

 

Innovation1 Biotech Inc. (“IVBT”) believes it will be among the first companies to harness the raw power of botanical therapeutics by transforming them into fully synthetic drugs that are safely, reliably and consistently delivered. There are two fundamental limitations in exploiting botanical Schedule 1 molecules:

 

1.

Large and unpredictable pharmacokinetic excursions, both high and low, that make the drug potentially dangerous or ineffective

2.

Insolubility in water that curtails bioavailability across mucosal membranes

 

To address these limitations, ST Biosciences, Ltd. engaged with Salzman Group, and Innovation1 later assumed the contractual obligations subsequent to the Asset Purchase Agreement completed on November 9, 2021 in order to gain access to a broader portfolio of intellectual property. According to Dr. Andrew Salzman, the Salzman Group, has pioneered the design and development of novel small molecules in the fields of cancer, heart disease, lung injury, intermediary metabolism and ophthalmology, with 3 exits totaling $1.4 billion, federal R&D grants and contracts totaling $160M and capital raises of $152M. The firm is currently regarded as a world leader in the design and optimization of rare cannabinoids.

 

According to Salzman Group, the pharmaceutical firm has invented novel, proprietary, water-soluble prodrugs of the most promising botanical molecules existing today. It is the stated goal of Salzman Group to exploit the vast intrinsic therapeutic power of botanical Schedule 1 molecules.

 

IVBT has acquired five proprietary preclinical prodrugs, all fully synthetic without connection to botanical sourcing: a mushroom-derived psychedelic molecule for treatment post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, a novel cannabinoid and tree bark derived psychedelic for treatment of addiction and three additional novel cannabinoid prodrugs addressing clinical indications of refractory pediatric epilepsy, hypertrophic scarring from burn wound injury and ocular inflammation of the cornea and anterior uvea. IVBT’s drug portfolio uniquely positions IVBT to capitalize on the growing global demand for pharmaceutical Schedule 1 drugs.

 

Cash Flows & Going Concern

 

Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had no revenue and a net loss of $631,666 for the quarter ended November 30, 2022. The Company has working capital deficit of $1,793,174 and an accumulated deficit of $45,370,280 as of November 30, 2022. We do not have sufficient funds to support our daily operations for the next twelve (12) months. Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

The ability of the Company to fully commence its operations is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations and execution of its business plan. In response to these concerns, management plans to fund operations through additional debt and equity financing. Debt instruments may be convertible or non-convertible and will vary based on the Company’s needs and financing options available at such times. A debt instrument has been obtained that, if fully funded, would provide an additional $150,000 in operating funds to the Company beyond the $150,000 funding already provided as of the date of filing this report. There can be no assurance that management’s plan to attract additional equity or debt financing will be successful.

The Company is attempting to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support its daily operations. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to commence operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to further implement its business model and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

 

COVID-19

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Subsequently, the COVID-19 spread globally including across North America and the United States. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020. While the threat of continued or resurgent lockdowns or containment efforts have abated, we caution that our business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to additional outbreaks of COVID-19. 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Please refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended November 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Overview. We had revenues of $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We incurred a net loss of $631,666 and $361,072 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in net loss is attributable to the factors discussed below.

 

Revenues. We had $0 revenues from operations for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021. The extent to which, and the amount of revenues which may be generated from our future business operations and activities is unknown.

 

Gross Margin. We had $0 gross margin for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Expenses. Our operating expenses were $628,820 and $361,072 for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We experienced an increase of $5,081 in advertising, $148,544 in general and administrative, $36,045 in professional fees, $15,000 in research and development, $180,647 in salaries, and $261 in depreciation and amortization expense. While we experienced a decrease of $117,830 in consulting fees.

 

Other (Income) Expense. Our total other (income) expense was $2,846 and ($121,219) for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The $118,373 decrease in other income was attributable to a gain on extinguishment of debt during the prior year, a decrease in interest expense and a decrease in impairment expense.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2022, we used net cash of $195,235 from operating activities, primarily attributable salaries, professional fees and general and administrative expenses.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2022, we had no investing activities.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2022, cash of $50,000 was provided from financing activities received as an advance on our private placement financing.

 

Assets

 

We had total assets of $4,245,284 as of November 30, 2022, which consisted of $11,251 cash, other receivable of $56,421, prepaid expenses of $53,069, equipment of $2,353, security deposit of $210,000, $430,434 right-of-use asset, trademarks of $1,680, receivable – Ingenius of $100,000 and intangibles asset of $3,380,076 related to our disposition of the Mioxal Asset (Note 3 – Asset Acquisition).

Cash Requirements

 

At November 30, 2022, we had a cash balance of $11,251. This cash amount is not sufficient to continue our 12-month plan of operation. We will need to raise capital to realize our 12-month plan of operation and fund our ongoing operational expenses. Additional funding will likely come from equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from entering into notes payable. If we are successful in completing equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. In the absence of such financing, our business will likely fail. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The Company has entered into a private placement to receive net cash proceeds up to $300,000, after the original issue discount, from secured convertible promissory notes with attached $0.08 warrants to purchase up to 4,411,764 shares of common stock. Each note is discounted 15% with a maturity date of 18 months from original issuance. The notes bear interest of 8% per annum to be paid monthly. Each note is convertible into common shares by dividing the outstanding principal on the note by the conversion price of $0.08. The warrants are exercisable for a period of seven years at an exercise price of $0.08 per share. The Company received $50,000 of cash during the quarter ended November 30, 2022 under these notes.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act), we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item 3.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer are responsible for conducting an evaluation of 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the fiscal year covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, including any consolidating subsidiaries, and was made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of November 30, 2022 as a result of continuing weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on December 15, 2022.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

The Company could become a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcomes to the Company and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, the Company’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating, and settling similar matters. With the exception of the following, as of the date of this report, there are no significant pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or of which any of their property is the subject, nor are there any such proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities.

 

On September 30, 2022, a party identified as New You Inc. filed a complaint with the District Court of Clark County, Nevada against Innovation 1 Biotech, Inc, ST Biosciences LTD, Jeffrey Kraws and Jason Frankovich. The complaint alleges that during Mr. Frankovich’s service to New You Inc. as Chairman of the Board of Directors, concurrent with Mr. Frankovich’s and Mr. Kraws’s services as executives of ST Biosciences LTD, Mr. Frankovich converted funds away from New You Inc. to satisfy obligations of ST Biosciences LTD and/or Innovation1 and/or to enrich Frankovich and Kraws. The amount of the claim is a total of $249,020 plus damages in excess of $30,000 and includes a claim for legal fees. The Company’s legal firm has evaluated the claims of the complaint and together with Innovation1 management believes the claims to be without merit. The Company intends to defend against the complaint and believes any potential liability to be $0.

    

At the date of this filing, the Company is behind in two months’ rent. Our monthly rent is approximately $20,000. The Company believes it is possible the landlord may take legal action if timely payment is not made.
