Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2021
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
(unaudited)
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 March 31, 2021, the Company has not earned any revenues from operations, has a working capital deficit of $1,833,667, and has an accumulated deficit of $10,725,845. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,558,544 and used cash flows for operations of $105,544. In addition, the Company filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada on August 7, 2020. As a result of the voluntary petition, various convertible note holders triggered default provisions on the Company’s outstanding convertible notes. On October 9, 2020, a stay order was lifted by a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on an action filed by a lender. This effectively removed the Company from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and protection. Furthermore, the Company has defaulted on other convertible notes. 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.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s supply chain, operations, and customer demand. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. Specifically, the Company attributes the pandemic to a delay in a planned financing which was to be used for the construction of the biotech complex, resulting in an impairment of the capitalized construction-in-progress at September 30, 2020. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s customers, suppliers, and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its impact on the Company. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time our business, liquidity, capital resources, and financial results.

The preparation of these condensed 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 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.
The Company applies judgment in the application of the going concern assumption which requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the end of the reporting period and in the factors regarding the impairment of the property and equipment. The Company tests property and equipment for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
(d)Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
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.

As at March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the convertible note was $nil (September 30, 2020 - $7,314), net of an unamortized discount of $nil (September 30, 2020 - $68,511), and the fair value of the derivative liability was $nil (September 30, 2020 - $110,135).
6.Derivative Liabilities
The embedded conversion option of certain of the Company’s convertible notes described in Note 5 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 as a gain or loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The table below sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its valuation methodology for the embedded conversion option liabilities as their fair values were determined by using a binomial model based on various assumptions. 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 weighted-average assumptions used in the calculations:

As a result, the Company determined the Series A Super Voting Preferred Stock were not a liability and classified the preferred stock within equity in the amount of the aggregate par value of the issued shares of preferred stock, with any excess attributed to additional paid-in capital.

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.
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.
On August 7, 2020, (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “Bankruptcy Petitions” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the “Court”). The Company’s filing with the Court was designated as Case No. 20-13886. During the pendency of this matter, the Company has also filed motions with the Court seeking authorization to continue to operate its businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. To maintain and continue uninterrupted ordinary course operations during the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company filed a variety of “first day” motions seeking approval from the Court for various forms of customary relief. These motions are designed primarily to minimize the effect of bankruptcy on the Company’s operations, customers and employees.
On October 9, 2020, a stay order was lifted by a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on an action filed by a lender. This effectively removed the Company from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and protection.
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. These factors raise substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue
19
as a going concern. This report does not reflect all the adjustments that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
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 favourable 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.
Its immediate focus will be on producing tissue cultured high CBD hemp starter plantlets. In the early part of 2018, the Company’s wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, WFS Pharmagreen Inc., 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 has decided that immediate business development in the hemp industry provides a much greater opportunity in the United States. The project at Deroche has been placed on hold while the Company moves forward to build out a similar infrastructure planned for Deroche within the United States.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies, disruptions of financial markets, and created uncertainty regarding potential impacts to the Company’s supply chain, operations, and customer demand. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and could further impact the Company’s operations and the operations of the Company’s suppliers and vendors as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions. Specifically, the Company attributes the pandemic to a delay in a planned financing which was to be used for the construction of the biotech complex, resulting in an impairment of the capitalized construction-in-progress at September 30, 2020. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic further impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the duration, spread, severity, and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s customers, suppliers, and vendors and the remedial actions and stimulus measures adopted by local and federal governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The management team is closely following the progression of COVID-19 and its impact on the Company. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of any economic
20
recession or depression that has occurred or may occur in the future. Therefore, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time our business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Our auditors have issued a “going concern” opinion for our year ended September 30, 2020, 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 March 31, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $1,833,667, and an accumulated deficit of $10,725,845. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, we have not earned any revenues from our operations and used cash of $105,544 for our operating activities.
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 March 31, 2021, we had $13,515 in cash as compared to $12,196 in cash and prepaid expenses and deposits of $253,754 as of September 30, 2020. 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.

We had $nil in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Total expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $136,949 as compared to total expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 of $150,602. The net decrease in expenses during the current period is mainly due to a change in foreign exchange gain/loss from a loss of $31,596 in 2020 to a gain of $2,801 in 2021, due to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar exchange rate and changes in the Company’s Canadian dollar assets and liabilities and a decrease in general and administrative from $37,179 in 2020 to $19,248 in 2021. This was offset by an increase in professional fees from $24,217 in 2020 to $59,451 in 2021, which were higher due to indirect costs associated with the issuance of convertible notes during the period.
We incurred a comprehensive income of $28,015 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to a comprehensive loss of $3,154,134 during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in comprehensive loss in 2021 was mainly attributable to interest and finance costs of $626,807 and a loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,509,926. This was offset by a gain on settlement of convertible notes payable of $145,494 related to the Company’s convertible notes. During 2020, the Company recorded a loss on change in fair value of derivative liabilities of $122,703 and a loss on settlement of convertible notes of $6,513 related to the Company’s convertible notes.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred a net loss of $0.01 and $0.00 per share respectively.

Total expenses in the six months ended March 31, 2021 were $238,573 as compared to total expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2020 of $267,718. The net decrease in expenses during the current period is mainly due to a decrease in consulting fees from $123,891 in 2020 to $106,193 in 2021. The decrease was also attributable to a decrease in general and administrative costs from $62,984 in 2020 to $43,660 in 2021.

We incurred a comprehensive loss of $3,613,698 during the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to a comprehensive loss of $190,405 during the six months ended March 31, 2020.

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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In connection with this quarterly report, as required by Rule 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2021 our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
22
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Saturna Group Chartered Professional Accountants LLP, our independent auditors, are not required to and have not performed an assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting.
On July 22, 2020, the Company received a preliminary statement of claim from a convertible note holder for failure of the Company to deliver shares of common stock upon receipt of notices of conversion. Pursuant to the claim, the plaintiff has requested receipt of all shares of common stock requested in the notices of conversion, and also damages in an amount to be determined at trial but in any event in excess of principal amount of $78,000 for a total sum of $180,000, including without limitation the balance of any portion of the convertible note that ultimately is not converted into shares of common stock, along with default interest, liquidated damages, and damages as provided for in the convertible note.
On October 9, 2020, a stay order was lifted by a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on an action filed by a lender. This effectively removed the Company from its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings and protection. The lifting of the stay order further allowed the convertible note holders to convert thereby increasing the number of shares issued and outstanding.
On October 29, 2020 a second note holder filed a statement of claim. This lender, as of December 24, 2020, has completely converted the full amount of the note of $100,000, interest of $8,689.80 and penalty and fees aggregating $19,500.
Also, as mentioned above, the Company filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada on August 7, 2020. The Company’s filing with the Court was designated as Case No. 20-13886. During the pendency of this matter, the Company has also filed motions with the Court seeking authorization to continue to operate its businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. Due to the stay order mentioned, the Company did not file a plan of reorganization with the Court for approval.
On March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the convertible noteholder that had filed a preliminary statement of claim on July 22, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement the Company was required to honor various conversion notices and the noteholder agreed to wave all principal, interest and penalties incurred.
On March 10, 2021, the promissory note holder referred to in Note 4 (a) of the accompanying financial statements filed a Notice of Motion For Summary Judgement in Lieu of Complaint with the State of New York Supreme Court, County of New York for $40,504 plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum from January 6, 2021 plus costs.
Except as mentioned in the preceding paragraphs, there are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or stockholder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds.
23
None
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
The commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases discussed above constituted an event of default under certain of the Company’s debt instruments, including various convertible notes, which resulted in automatic acceleration of the Company’s obligations under such debt instruments. Any efforts to enforce payment obligations under the aforementioned debt instruments are automatically stayed as a result of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the debt instruments are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure.
