1.
Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations
Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S. on November 26, 2007, under the name Azure International, Inc. On October 30, 2008, and effective as of the same date, the Company filed Articles of Merger (“Articles”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, to effect a merger by and between Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation and Azure International, Inc. As a result of the merger, the Company changed its name to Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc. The Company was previously in the business of providing technical advisory and appraisals to the aircraft and aviation business as well as providing sourcing for aircraft leases and parts. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement with WFS Pharmagreen Inc. (“WFS”) on May 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. and changed its principal business to the construction of a biotech complex in Deroche, British Columbia, Canada, for the purpose of producing a variety of starter plantlets for the Canadian and international high CBD hemp and medical cannabis industries through the application of the proprietary plant tissue culture in vitro process called “Chibafreen”. This proprietary process will produce plantlets that will be genetically identical and free of pests and disease free with consistent and certifiable constituent properties.
Going Concern
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2019, the Company has not earned any revenues from operations, has a working capital deficit of $1,501,593, and has an accumulated deficit of $4,935,497. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company incurred a net loss of $206,021 and used cash flows for operations of $71,922. These factors raise substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Interim Financial Statements
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
(b)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, WFS Pharmagreen Inc., and its 89.7% owned subsidiary 1155097 BC Ltd., companies incorporated in British Columbia, Canada. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is September 30.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(c) Use of Estimates and Judgments
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the recoverability of property and equipment, the equity component of convertible notes, fair value of derivative liabilities, fair value of stock-based payments, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
(d) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions. The amendments specify that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The standard became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, Topic 842, Leases, was issued to replace the leases requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The main difference between previous GAAP and Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. Topic 842 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be retrospectively applied. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its condensed consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Promissory Note
On November 22, 2019, the Company entered into a promissory note with an unrelated party for $40,000 in connection with an equity purchase agreement (Refer to Note 9(b)). The promissory note is unsecured, due on November 30, 2020, and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum. During the period ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized accrued interest of $427 (2018 - $nil).
6.
Convertible Notes
(a)
On April 4, 2018, the amount of $32,485 owed to related parties was converted to Series A convertible notes, which are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on April 4, 2023. These notes are convertible in whole or in part, any time until maturity, to common shares of the Company at $0.0001 per share. The outstanding balance remaining at maturity shall bear interest at 12% per annum until fully paid. The Company evaluated the convertible notes for a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”. The Company determined that the conversion price was below the closing stock price on the commitment date, and the convertible notes contained a beneficial conversion feature. The Company recognized the intrinsic value of the embedded beneficial conversion feature of $32,485 as additional paid-in capital and reduced the carrying value of the convertible note to $nil. The carrying value will be accreted over the term of the convertible notes up to their face value of $32,485.
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 31,745,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $3,175 of Series A convertible notes, which included 18,000,000 common shares to the President of the Company and 5,320,000 common shares to family members of the President of the Company. Upon conversion, the Company immediately recognized the related remaining debt discount of $3,112 as accretion expense.
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 3,900,000 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $390 of Series A convertible notes. Upon conversion, the Company immediately recognized the related remaining debt discount of $375 as accretion expense.

Convertible Notes (continued)
As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the convertible notes was $1,968 (September 30, 2019 - $1,599) and had an unamortized discount of $26,952 (September 30, 2019 - $27,321). During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded accretion expense of $369 (2018 - $361).
(b)
On September 17, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note with an unrelated party for $78,000, of which $3,000 was paid directly to third parties for financing costs, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $75,000. The note is due on September 20, 2020, and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum, which increases to 22% per annum upon default of the note. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 61% of the average 2 lowest trading prices during the 10-trading day period prior to the conversion date. Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. As the note isn’t convertible until 180 days following issuance, no derivative liability was recognized.
The financing costs were netted against the convertible note and are being amortized over the term using the effective interest rate method. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized accretion of the deferred financing fees of $744 (2018 - $nil). As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the convertible note was $75,849 (September 30, 2019 - $75,105).
(c)
On October 1, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note with an unrelated party for $78,000, of which $3,250 was paid directly to third parties for financing costs, resulting in proceeds to the Company of $74,750. The note is due on October 1, 2020, and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum, which increases to 22% per annum upon default of the note. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to lower of (i) the lowest trading price during the 10-trading day period prior to the issuance date (ii) 61% of the average 2 lowest trading prices during the 10-trading day period prior to the conversion date. In connection with the issuance of the above convertible note, the Company evaluated the conversion option for derivative treatment under ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and determined the note and conversion feature qualified as derivatives. The Company classified the conversion feature as a derivative liability at fair value.
The financing costs were netted against the convertible note and are being amortized over the term using the effective interest rate method. The initial fair value of the conversion feature was determined to be $70,199, which was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and recorded as a discount on the convertible note. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized accretion of the debt discount of $4,462 (2018 - $nil) and accretion of the financing costs of $468 (2018 - $nil). As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the convertible note was $9,481 (September 30, 2019 - $nil).

Convertible Notes (continued)
(d)
On October 17, 2019, the Company entered into a convertible note with an unrelated party for $63,000, of which $3,000 was paid directly to third parties for financing costs, resulting in cash proceeds to the Company of $60,000. The note is due on October 17, 2020, and bears interest on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of 10% per annum, which increases to 22% per annum upon default of the note. Stringent pre-payment terms apply (from 20% to 30% to 33%, dependent upon the timeframe of repayment during the note’s term) and any part of the notice which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date until paid. The Note may be converted by the Lender at any time after 180 days of the date of issuance into shares of Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 61% of the average 2 lowest trading prices during the 10-trading day period prior to the conversion date. In December 2019, the conversion price was amended to 46%. Due to this provision, the Company considered whether the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging. As the note isn’t convertible until 180 days following issuance, no derivative liability was recognized as of December 31, 2019.
The financing costs were netted against the convertible note and are being amortized over the term using the effective interest rate method. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recognized accretion of the deferred financing fees of $603 (2018 - $nil). As at December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the convertible note was $60,603 (September 30, 2019 - $nil).

Derivative Liability
The embedded conversion option of the Company’s convertible debentures described in Note 6(c) contain a conversion feature that qualifies for embedded derivative classification. The fair value of this liability will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments. The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

Balance, September 30, 2019 |

Change in fair value of embedded conversion option |
| 37,295 |
|
| |
Balance, December 31, 2019 |
| 107,494 |
The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or a Binomial Model based on various assumptions. The model incorporates the price of a share of the Company’s common stock (as quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board), volatility, risk free rate, dividend rate and estimated life. Significant changes in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement. As required, these are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table shows the assumptions used in the calculations:
| Expected volatility | Risk-free interest rate | Expected dividend yield | Expected life (in years) |

As at date of issuance | 123.84% | 1.73% | 0% | 1.00 |

Forward-Looking Statements
This section of the Form 10-Q includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our predictions.
Company History Overview
Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Nevada, U.S. on November 26, 2007 under the name Azure International, Inc. On October 30, 2008 and effective as of the same date, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Secretary of the State of Nevada, to effect a merger by and between Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation incorporated on October 16, 2008, and Azure International, Inc. As a result of the merger, the Company changed its name to Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc.
Air Transport Group Holdings, Inc. was originally set up to be in the business of acquiring aviation, travel and leisure companies. During February 2018, change of control of the Company was effected and on February 21, 2018 new management took over.
On April 12, 2018, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with WFS Pharmagreen Inc., a private company incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of WFS Pharmagreen Inc. in exchange for 37,704,500 shares of common stock of the Company. Upon completion of this transaction, the shareholders of WFS Pharmagreen hold 95.5% of voting control of the Company.
Immediately prior to closing of the Agreement, the majority shareholder of the Company was also the majority shareholder of WFS. As a result of the common ownership upon closing of the transaction, the acquisition was considered a common-control transaction and was outside the scope of the business combination guidance in ASC 805-50. The entities are deemed to be under common control as of February 27, 2018, which was the date that the majority shareholder acquired control of the Company and, therefore, held control over both companies. On May 2, 2018, the Share Exchange Agreement was effected. In connection with this transaction, the Company changed its name on May 8, 2018 to Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. and changed its year end from April 30th to September 30th.
Our principal executive offices are temporarily located at 2987 Blackbear Court, Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. Our telephone number is (702-803-9404). Our internet address is www.pharmagreen.ca.
We expect to continue to incur losses for at least the next 12 months. We do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses, and we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our plan of operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing, through equity security sales, debt instruments and private financing, to conduct our day-to-day operations, and to fully execute our business plan. We plan to raise the capital necessary to fund our business through the sale of equity securities, debt instruments or private financing.
Our Current Business
Pharmagreen Biotech Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 26, 2007. The Company is headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia. The Company’s mission is to advance the technology of tissue culture science and to provide the highest quality 100% germ free, disease free and all genetically the same plantlets of high CBD hemp and other flora and offering full spectrum DNA testing for plant identification, live genetics preservation using low temperature storage for various cannabis and horticulture plants; extraction of botanical oils mainly CBD oil, and to deliver laboratory based services to the North American high CBD hemp, Cannabis and agriculture sectors.
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
14
Its immediate focus will be on producing tissue cultured high CBD hemp starter plantlets. The Company has applied to Health Canada for a license to produce and sell tissue culture plantlets and cannabis oil. On February 7, 2019, The Company’s, wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, WFS Pharmagreen Inc., received notification from Health Canada that its cannabis licensing application under the Cannabis Act and the Cannabis Regulations to obtain a license at the proposed site in Deroche, British Columbia, Canada has advanced from the first stage, “Intake and Screening” to the second stage, “Detailed Review and Initiation of Security Clearance Process,” of a three stage approval process. On May 10, 2019, the Company received confirmation from Health Canada that the second stage review was completed and that the Company can proceed to the third and final stage, construction of the biotech complex for final inspection and licensing.
Detailed Review and Initiation of Security Clearance Process means applications are reviewed against the licensing and personnel security requirements of the regulations.
The third stage is Confirmation of Readiness: Confirmation is provided to the applicant that the application substantively meets the requirements and asks for confirmation that the site is ready for licensing or inspection. This stage will be dependent on the timing of completing the development of its site.in Deroche, British Columbia Canada. The Company does not anticipate any additional costs related to this stage.
The Company is currently completing its engineering stage and has begun site development work for the building process of a 63,000 square foot biotech complex.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion for our year ended September 30, 2019, meaning that there is substantial doubt if we can continue as an on-going business unless we obtain additional capital. No substantial revenues from our planned business model are anticipated until we have completed financing the Company. As at December 31, 2019, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,501,593 and an accumulated deficit of $4,935,497. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
We need to seek capital from resources such as the sale of private placements in the Company’s common stock or debt financing, which may not even be available to the Company. However, if such financing were available, because we are a, early stage company with no or limited operations to date, it would likely have to pay additional costs associated with such financing and in the case of high risk loans be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such financing. If the company cannot raise additional proceeds via such financing, it may be required to cease business operations.
As of December 31, 2019, we had $35,678 in cash, accounts receivable and other receivables of $1,009 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $118,354 as compared to $62,682 in cash, accounts receivable and other receivables of $10,639 and prepaid expenses and deposits of $115,856 as of September 30, 2019. Overall, our cash position is lower and our prepaid expenses and deposits are higher as we have spent more funding on the planned build-out of our biotech complex, of which $107,782 was prepaid as at December 31, 2019. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the current funds available to the Company will not be sufficient to fund the expenses related to maintaining our planned operations. We are in the process of seeking additional equity financing in the form of private placements, loans and registration statements to fund our intended business operations.
Management believes that if subsequent private placements are successful or we are successful in raising funds from registered securities, we will generate sales revenue within twelve months thereof. However, additional equity financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all, and thus we could fail to satisfy our future cash requirements.
We do not anticipate researching any further products nor the purchase or sale of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees.
Results of Operations
We had $nil in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and have not generated any revenues since our inception.
Total expenses in the three months ended December 31, 2019 were $117,116 as compared to total expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2018 of $205,337. The net decrease in expenses during the current period is mainly due to a change in foreign exchange gain/loss from a loss of $43,187 in 2018 to a gain of $9,747 in 2019, due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar exchange rate and changes in the Company’s Canadian dollar assets and liabilities, and a decrease in professional fees from $43,560 in 2018 to $25,630 in 2019, which were due to higher audit and accounting costs in 2018 in connection with the S-1 registration process. The decrease was also attributable to a decrease in research and development costs of $29,716 related to the
15
Company’s planned biotech complex. The decrease in overall expenses during the year was reduced by the increase in consulting fees of $15,314 from $55,502 in 2018 to $70,816 in 2019. This increase is due to engagement of advisory services with unrelated parties.
We incurred a comprehensive loss of $218,420 during the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to a comprehensive loss of $294,173 during the three months ended December 31, 2018. In addition to operating expenses, we incurred finance costs of $45,000 relating to commitment fees paid pursuant to an Equity Purchase Agreement dated November 22, 2019, with Oscaleta Partners LLC. The term of the Equity Purchase Agreement is for a period that expires 2 years after the effective date of the related registration statement. The Company also incurred accretion expenses of $6,646 and a loss on change in fair value of derivative liability of $37,295 related to the Company’s convertible debentures. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company incurred finance costs of $187,245 relating to the fair value of common stock issued as commitment fees related to an Equity Purchase Agreement entered into on November 9, 2018, with L2 Capital LLC.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019, and 2018, we incurred a net loss of $0.00 and $0.01 per share, respectively.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect or change on the company’s financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term “off-balance sheet arrangement” generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with the company is a party, under which the company has (i) any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest; or (ii) a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets.
