The Company is a Nevada corporation incorporated in 1996. In 2013, the Company restructured its operations to focus on biotechnology. The Company acquired licenses from SG Austria Pte. Ltd., a Singapore corporation ("SG Austria") to treat cancer and Austrianova Singapore Pte. Ltd., a Singapore corporation ("Austrianova Singapore") to treat diabetes using the Cell-in-the-Box technology. The restructuring resulted in the Company focusing all its efforts upon the development of a novel, effective and safe way to treat cancer and diabetes. In January 2015, the Company changed its name from Nuvilex, Inc. to PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. to reflect the nature of its current business. In October 2021, the Company moved its headquarters from Laguna Hills, California to Las Vegas, Nevada.

On September 1, 2020, the Company submitted an Investigational New Drug Application ("IND") to the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for a planned clinical trial in LAPC. On October 1, 2020, the Company received notice from the FDA that it had placed the IND on clinical hold. On October 30, 2020, the FDA sent a letter to the Company setting forth the reasons for the clinical hold and specific guidance on what the Company must do to have the clinical hold lifted.

To lift the clinical hold, the FDA informed the Company that it needs to conduct several additional preclinical studies. The FDA also requested additional information regarding several topics, including DNA sequencing data, manufacturing information and product release specifications. The Company has been in the process of conducting these studies and gathering additional information to submit to the FDA. See "Investigational New Drug Application and Clinical Hold" below.

On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement ("Cooperation Agreement") with Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. and its affiliates, pursuant to which the Company elected a reconstituted Board of Directors ("Board"). The Board has formed a Business Review Committee to evaluate, investigate and review the Company's business, affairs, strategy, management and operations and in its sole discretion to make recommendations to the Company's management and Board with respect thereto. The Business Review Committee is also reviewing many of the risks relative to the Company's business. In addition, the Board is reviewing the Company's development programs and its relationship with SG Austria, including that all licensed patents have expired, that know-how relating to the Company's Cell-in-a-Box® technology solely resides with SG Austria, and that the incentives of SG Austria and its management may not be currently aligned with those of the Company. The Board has curtailed spending on the Company's programs, including pre-clinical and clinical activities, until the review by the Business Review Committee and the Board is complete and the Board has determined the actions and plans to be implemented. The Business Review Committee's recommendations will include potentially seeking a new framework for the Company's relationship with SG Austria and its subsidiaries. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in seeking an acceptable new framework, the Company will reevaluate whether it should continue those programs which are dependent on SG Austria, including its development programs for LAPC, diabetes and malignant ascites. The issues involving SG Austria have delayed the Company's timeline for addressing the FDA clinical hold for its planned clinical trial in LAPC and could result in other delays or termination of the development activities. In addition, the curtailment of spending on the Company's programs pending the review by the Business Review Committee and the Board may cause additional delays.

The Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> encapsulation technology potentially enables genetically engineered live human cells to be used as a means to produce various biologically active molecules. The technology is intended to result in the formation of pinhead sized cellulose-based porous capsules in which genetically modified live human cells can be encapsulated and maintained. In a laboratory setting, this proprietary live cell encapsulation technology has been shown to create a micro-environment in which encapsulated cells survive and flourish. They are protected from environmental challenges, such as the sheer forces associated with bioreactors and passage through catheters and needles, which the Company believes enables greater cell growth and production of the active molecules. The capsules are largely composed of cellulose (cotton) and are bioinert.

The Company has been developing therapies for pancreatic and other solid cancerous tumors by using genetically engineered live human cells that it believes are capable of converting a cancer prodrug into its cancer-killing form. The Company encapsulates those cells using the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology and places those capsules in the body as close as possible to the tumor. In this way, the Company believes that when a cancer prodrug is administered to a patient with a particular type of cancer that may be affected by the prodrug, the killing of the patient's cancerous tumor may be optimized.

The Company has also been developing a way to delay the production and accumulation of malignant ascites that results from many types of abdominal cancerous tumors. The Company's therapy for malignant ascites involves using the same encapsulated cells it employs for pancreatic cancer but placing the encapsulated cells in the peritoneal cavity of a patient and administering ifosfamide intravenously.

In addition to the two cancer programs discussed above, the Company has been working on ways to exploit the benefits of the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology to develop therapies for cancer that involve prodrugs based upon certain constituents of the *Cannabis* plant. However, until the FDA allows us to commence our clinical trial in LAPC and we are able to validate our Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> encapsulation technology in a clinical trial, we are not spending any further resources developing our Cannabis Program.

Finally, the Company has been developing a potential therapy for Type 1 diabetes and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes. The Company's product candidate for the treatment of diabetes consists of encapsulated genetically modified insulin-producing cells. The encapsulation will be done using the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology. Implanting these encapsulated cells in the body is designed to have them function as a bio-artificial pancreas for purposes of insulin production.

Until the review by the Business Review Committee and the Board is complete and the Board has determined the actions and plans to be implemented, spending on the Company's programs has been curtailed.

**<u>Investigational New Drug Application and Clinical Hold</u>**

On September 1, 2020, the Company submitted an IND to the FDA for a planned clinical trial in LAPC. On October 1, 2020, the Company received notice from the FDA that it had placed the Company's IND on clinical hold. On October 30, 2020, the FDA sent the Company a letter setting forth the reasons for the clinical hold and providing specific guidance on what the Company must do to have the clinical hold lifted.

In order to address the clinical hold, the FDA requested that the Company:

· Provide additional sequencing data and genetic stability studies;

· Conduct a stability study on the Company's final formulated product candidate as well as the cells from the Company's Master Cell Bank;

· Evaluate the compatibility of the delivery devices (the prefilled syringe and the microcatheter used to implant the CypCaps<sup>™</sup>) with the Company's product candidate for pancreatic cancer;

· Provide additional detailed description of the manufacturing process of the Company's product candidate for pancreatic cancer;

· Provide additional product release specifications for the Company's encapsulated cells;

· Demonstrate comparability between the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> generation of the Company's product candidate for pancreatic cancer and ensure adequate and consistent product performance and safety between the two generations;

· Conduct a biocompatibility assessment using the Company's capsules material;

· Address specified insufficiencies in the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls information in the cross-referenced Drug Master File;

· Conduct an additional nonclinical study in a large animal (such as a pig) to assess the safety, activity, and distribution of the product candidate for pancreatic cancer; and

· Revise the Investigators Brochure to include any additional preclinical studies conducted in response to the clinical hold and remove any statements not supported by the data the Company generated.

The FDA also requested that the Company address the following issues as an amendment to the Company's IND:

· Provide a Certificate of Analysis for pc3/2B1 plasmid that includes tests for assessing purity, safety, and potency;

· Perform qualification studies for the drug substance filling step to ensure that the Company's product candidate for pancreatic cancer remains sterile and stable during the filling process;

· Submit an updated batch analysis for the Company's product candidate for the specific lot that will be used for manufacturing all future product candidates;

· Provide additional details for the methodology for the Resorufin (CYP2B1) potency and the PrestoBlue cell metabolic assays;

· Provide a few examples of common microcatheters that fit the specifications in the Company's Angiography Procedure Manual;

· Clarify the language in our Pharmacy Manual regarding proper use of the syringe fill with the Company's product candidate for pancreatic cancer; and

· Provide a discussion with data for trial of the potential for cellular and humoral immune reactivity against the heterologous rat CYP2B1 protein and potential for induction of autoimmune-mediated toxicities in our study population.

The Company assembled a scientific and regulatory team of experts to address the FDA requests. That team has been working diligently to complete the items requested by the FDA. The Company is in the latter stages of conducting the studies and providing the information requested by the FDA. The Company has completed the pilot study of two pigs and is evaluating the preliminary data before commencing the larger study of 90 pigs.

**Impact of COVID-19 on the Company's Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the world's economies have experienced pronounced effects. Despite the multiple COVID-19 vaccines globally, there remains uncertainty around the extent and duration of disruption and any future related financial impact cannot reasonably be estimated at this time. COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause significant, industry-wide delays in clinical trials. Although the Company is not yet in a clinical trial, the Company has filed an IND with the FDA to commence a clinical trial in LAPC, and this clinical trial may experience delays relating to COVID-19 once commenced, including but not limited to: (i) delays or difficulties in enrolling patients in the Company's clinical trial if the FDA allows the Company to go forward with the trial; (ii) delays or difficulties in clinical site activation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site personnel; (iii) delays in clinical sites receiving the supplies and materials needed to conduct the clinical trial, including interruption in global shipping that may affect the transport of the Company's clinical trial product; (iv) changes in local regulations as part of a response to COVID-19 which may require the Company to change the ways in which its clinical trial is to be conducted, which may result in unexpected costs, or to discontinue the clinical trial altogether; (v) diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as the Company's clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of the Company's clinical trial; (vi) interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others, or interruption of clinical trial subject visits and study procedures, the occurrence of which could affect the integrity of clinical trial data; (vii) risk that participants enrolled in our clinical trials will acquire COVID-19 while the clinical trial is ongoing, which could impact the results of the clinical trial, including by increasing the number of observed adverse events; (viii) delays in necessary interactions with local regulators, ethics committees, and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees; (ix) limitations in employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of the Company's clinical trial because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people; (x) refusal of the FDA to accept data from clinical trials in affected geographies; and (xi) interruption or delays to the Company's clinical trial activities. Many of these potential delays may be exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19 in foreign countries where the Company is conducting these preclinical studies, including India, Europe, Singapore and Thailand.

Further, the various precautionary measures taken by many governmental authorities around the world in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the global markets and global economy, including on the availability and pricing of employees, resources, materials, manufacturing and delivery efforts and other aspects of the global economy. COVID-19 could materially disrupt the Company's business and operations, hamper its ability to raise additional funds or sell securities, continue to slow down the overall economy, curtail consumer spending, interrupt the Company's supply chain, and make it hard to adequately staff the Company's operations.

**Nasdaq Listing**

The Company's common stock began trading on Nasdaq on August 10, 2021, under the symbol "PMCB." Prior to that, the Company's common stock was quoted on the OTCQB Market under the symbol "PMCB."

**Reverse Stock Split**

Effective July 12, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State that authorized a 1:1500 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock. The reverse stock split resulted in reducing the authorized number of shares of the Company's common stock from 50 billion to 33,333,334 with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next whole share. All warrant, option, share and per share information in this Quarterly Report gives retroactive effect to such 1:1500 reverse stock split.

**NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation**

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company operates independently and through four wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Bio Blue Bird; (ii) PharmaCyte Biotech Europe Limited; (iii) PharmaCyte Biotech Australia Pty. Ltd.; and (iv) Viridis Biotech, Inc. and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the Rules and Regulations of the Commission. Upon consolidation, intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. The Company's 14.3% investment in SG Austria is presented on the cost method of accounting.

**Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements**

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. The severity, magnitude and duration, as well as the economic consequences of COVID-19, are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. Therefore, the Company's accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time in response to COVID-19 and may change materially in future periods.

**Cash and Cash Equivalents**

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and short-term liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less.

**Intangible Assets**

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") standard on goodwill and other intangible assets prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, which is performed annually, as well as when an event triggering impairment may have occurred. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the impairment. The Company has elected to perform its annual analysis at the end of its reporting year.

The Company's intangible assets are licensing agreements related to the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology for $1,549,427 and diabetes license for $2,000,000 for an aggregate total of $3,549,427.

These intangible assets have an indefinite life; therefore, they are not amortizable.

The Company concluded that there was no impairment of the carrying value of the intangible assets for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022.

**Impairment of Long-Lived Assets**

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value. No impairment was identified or recorded during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022.

**Fair Value of Financial Instruments**

For certain of the Company's non-derivative financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, "Financial Instruments," defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for current liabilities qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

· Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

· Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are observable either directly or indirectly; and

· Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

**Income Taxes**

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

A valuation allowance is provided for deferred income tax assets when, in management's judgment, based upon currently available information and other factors, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The determination of the need for a valuation allowance is based on an on-going evaluation of current information including, among other things, historical operating results, estimates of future earnings in different taxing jurisdictions and the expected timing of the reversals of temporary differences. The Company believes the determination to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred income tax asset is a significant accounting estimate because it is based on, among other things, an estimate of future taxable income in the U.S. and certain other jurisdictions, which is susceptible to change and may or may not occur, and because the impact of adjusting a valuation allowance may be material. In determining when to release the valuation allowance established against the Company's net deferred income tax assets, the Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative. Consistent with the Company's policy, and because of the Company's history of operating losses, the Company does not currently recognize the benefit of all its deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, which may be used to offset future taxable income. The Company continually assesses its ability to generate sufficient taxable income during future periods in which deferred tax assets may be realized. When the Company believes it is more likely than not that it will recover its deferred tax assets, the Company will reverse the valuation allowance as an income tax benefit in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The U.S. GAAP method of accounting for uncertain tax positions utilizes a two-step approach to evaluate tax positions. Step one, recognition, requires evaluation of the tax position to determine if based solely on technical merits it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Step two, measurement, is addressed only if a position is more likely than not to be sustained. In step two, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with tax authorities. If a position does not meet the more likely than not threshold for recognition in step one, no benefit is recorded until the first subsequent period in which the more likely than not standard is met, the issue is resolved with the taxing authorities or the statute of limitations expires. Positions previously recognized are derecognized when the Company subsequently determines the position no longer is more likely than not to be sustained. Evaluation of tax positions, their technical merits and measurements using cumulative probability are highly subjective management estimates. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security ("CARES") Act to provide certain relief as a result of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 outbreak. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its U.S. net deferred tax assets. Deferred tax asset remeasurement (tax expense) was offset by a net decrease in valuation allowance, which resulted in no impact on the Company's income tax expense. Therefore, the Company does not expect the provisions in the CARES Act will impact the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On March 11, 2021, Congress enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The Company does not expect the provisions of this Act will impact the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

**Research and Development**

Research and development ("R&D") expenses consist of costs incurred for direct and overhead-related research expenses and are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire technologies, including licenses, which are utilized in research and development and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred. Technology developed for use in the Company's product candidates is expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established.

R&D costs for the three months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022 were $45,393 and $158,039, respectively, and for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, were $382,662 and $436,872, respectively.

**Stock-Based Compensation**

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for only those awards ultimately expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option's expected term and stock price volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the number of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical experience at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of share-based payment awards represent management's best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. Thus, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, the stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

**Concentration of Credit Risk**

The Company has no significant off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains most of its cash balance at financial institutions located throughout the United States. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. Uninsured balances aggregated approximately $1,100,000 and $36,356,000 at January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.

**Foreign Currency Translation**

The Company translates the financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries from the local (functional) currencies to U.S. dollars in accordance with FASB ASC 830, *Foreign Currency Matters*. All assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated at year-end exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Adjustments for foreign currency translation fluctuations are excluded from net loss and are included in other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses on short-term intercompany foreign currency transactions are recognized as incurred.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04") and also issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance (collectively, "Topic 848"). Topic 848 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2024, and provides optional guidance for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. The Company's adoption of Topic 848 during the period ended January 31, 2023, did not result in an impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

**NOTE 3 – ACCRUED EXPENSES**

Accrued expenses at January 31, 2023, and April 30, 2022, are summarized below:

---

All shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended ("Securities Act") in reliance upon the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On April 14, 2021, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-255044) ("Third S-3") was declared effective by the Commission, registering up to $100 million of the Company's securities. During August 2021, the Company sold and issued approximately 19.1 million shares of common stock, at prices ranging from $4.25 to $5.00 per share. Net of underwriting discounts, legal, accounting, and other offering expenses, the Company received approximately $87.4 million from the sale of these shares and the exercise of approximately 2.5 million warrant shares.

On August 9, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to offer and sell shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock and warrants to purchase common stock in a public offering ("First Offering").

**NOTE 5 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS**

The Company maintains two equity incentive plans: the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan ("2022 Plan") and the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan ("2021 Plan" and, together with the 2022 Plan, the "Plans"). The 2022 Plan serves as the successor to the 2021 Plan. The Plans provide for the issuance of incentive stock options ("ISOs"), nonqualified stock options ("NSOs"), stock grants and stock-based awards to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company.

**2022 Equity Incentive Plan**

Effective December 28, 2022, the Company implemented the 2022 Plan which was approved by the Company's stockholders. The 2022 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board ("Compensation Committee") and has 2,750,000 shares available.

**2021 Equity Incentive Plan**

Effective June 30, 2021, the Company implemented the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan ("2021 Plan") which was approved by the Company's stockholders. The 2021 Equity Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee and had 166,667 shares available.

**Stock Options**

As of January 31, 2023, the Company had 281,936 outstanding stock options to its directors and officers (collectively, "Employee Options") and consultants ("Non-Employee Options").

During the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company granted 251,002 and 7,334 Employee Options, respectively.

The fair value of the Employee Options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, based on the following weighted average assumptions:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Nine Months Ended January 31,** | **Nine Months Ended January 31,** |
|  | **2023** | **2022** |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.30% | 1.06% |
| Expected volatility | 133% | 129% |
| Expected lives (years) | 3.5 | 2.7 |
| Expected dividend yield | 0.00% | 0.00% |

---

The Company's computation of expected volatility is based on the historical daily volatility of its publicly traded stock. For stock option grants issued during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company used a calculated volatility for each grant. The Company lacks adequate information about the exercise behavior now and has determined the expected term assumption under the simplified method provided for under ASC 718, which averages the contractual term of the Company's stock options of five years with the average vesting term of two and one-half years for an average of three years. The dividend yield assumption of zero is based upon the fact the Company has never paid cash dividends and presently has no intention of paying cash dividends. The risk-free interest rate used for each grant is equal to the U.S. Treasury rates in effect at the time of the grant for instruments with a similar expected life.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2023, the Company granted no Non-Employee Options.

Effective October 11, 2022, Dr. Crabtree signed a release agreement with the Company, whereby he resigned from all Company positions, including all positions with the Company's subsidiaries.

In May 2017, the Company amended the compensation agreements with each of the then-current independent Board members, and the terms of such amended agreements continue in effect until a member is no longer on the Board.

As of January 31, 2023, the Company had five directors. Each director was entitled to receive $12,500 in cash for each calendar quarter of service on the Board.

On August 15, 2022, the Company and the Board: (i) accepted the previously tendered irrevocable resignation of each of Dr. Matthias Löhr, Dr. Raymond C.F. Tong, Thomas Liquard, Dr. Gerald W. Crabtree, and Carlos A. Trujillo, as members of the Board, and (ii) appointed Jonathan L. Schechter, Joshua N. Silverman, Daniel Allen, Daniel S. Farb, and Jack E.

The services include regulatory affairs strategy, advice and follow up work on the IND and services related to having the clinical hold lifted. The total cost is estimated to be approximately $214,000, of which the related party (SG Austria and its subsidiaries) portion will be approximately $157,000. These amounts take into account some of the cost associated with the work and preclinical studies required to lift the clinical hold.

**NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES**

At January 31, 2023, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $55,936,000 and $52,187,000, respectively, available to offset against future taxable income; these operating loss carryforwards expire in 2021 through 2038. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 imposes an annual limitation for the utilization of tax attributes if there is an "ownership change". Based upon the equity activity during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, the Company had an ownership change in August 2021. As a result of the change in-control that occurred in the Company's shareholder base in August 2021, approximately $37,083,000 and $40,838,000 federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, became limited in their availability. The remaining net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $18,853,000 and $11,350,000 for federal and state purposes, respectively.

Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited. Based on the assessment of all available evidence including, but not limited to, the Company's limited operating history in its core business and lack of profitability, uncertainties of the commercial viability of its technology, the impact of government regulations and healthcare reform initiatives and other risks normally associated with biotechnology companies, the Company has concluded that is more likely than not that these operating loss carryforwards will not be realized. Accordingly, 100% of the deferred tax valuation allowance has been recorded against these assets.

The Company's policy is to recognize any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had accrued no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

See Note 10 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022, for additional information regarding income taxes.

**NOTE 10 – EARNINGS PER SHARE**

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period increased to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would be outstanding if the potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potential shares of common stock outstanding principally include stock options and warrants. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred losses. Accordingly, the effect of any common stock equivalent would be anti-dilutive during those periods and are not included in the calculation of diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.

The tables below set forth the basic loss per share calculations:

---

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations**

**Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, but are not limited to, statements using terminology such as "can", "may", "could", "should", "assume", "forecasts", "believe", "designed to", "will", "expect", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "potential", "position", "predicts", "strategy", "guidance", "intend", "seek", "budget", "project" or "continue", or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they:

· discuss our future expectations;

· contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; and

· state other "forward-looking" information.

We believe it is important to communicate our expectations. However, forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about our business and our industry and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. Accordingly, our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors and risks, including, but not limited to, those set forth in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report, those set forth from time to time in our other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission"), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022 and the following factors and risks:

· As a result of the clinical hold that has been placed on our IND by the FDA, it has taken and may continue to take considerable time and expense to respond to the FDA, and no assurance can be given that the FDA will remove the clinical hold in which case our business and prospects will likely suffer material adverse consequences;

· We contract with Austrianova for the manufacture of our product candidates and for certain preclinical and clinical activities. Austrianova may not be able to manufacture sufficient quantities of our product candidates for preclinical studies and clinical trials which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts. The production of our product candidates relies in part on the proprietary know-how of Austrianova which is held by them as a trade secret and as to which we are not privy;

· We rely on officers of Austrianova for the development of our product candidates. If they decide to terminate their relationship with us, we may not be successful in the development of our product candidates;

· In the event Austrianova experiences financial difficulties, their ability to provide products or services to us may be delayed or curtailed and may affect the carrying value of our intellectual property and cost-based investment in Austrianova;

· At this time, we are unaware of any available substitute manufacturer other than Austrianova;

· We are seeking FDA approval to commence a clinical trial in the U.S. of our product candidate for LAPC based on clinical data that was obtained in trials conducted nearly 20 years ago outside the U.S., and it is possible that the FDA may not accept data from trials conducted in such locations or conducted nearly 20 years ago nor allow us to proceed with a Phase 2b as opposed to a Phase 1 or Phase 1/2 trial;

· Results in previous clinical trials of our encapsulated live cell and ifosfamide combination for pancreatic cancer may not be replicated in future clinical trials which could result in development delays or a failure to obtain marketing approval;

· Due to the significant resources required for the development of our programs, and depending on our ability to access capital, we must prioritize development of certain product candidates. We may expend our limited resources on programs that do not yield a successful product candidate and fail to capitalize on product candidates or indications that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success;

· As the patents covering our Cell-in-a-Box technology have expired, our intellectual property, which is primarily trade secrets, and data and market exclusivity may not be sufficient to block others from commercializing identical or competing products; and

· We have experienced significant management changes which could increase our control risks and have a material adverse effect on our ability to do business and our results of operations.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong. They may be affected by inaccurate assumptions that we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Among the factors that could affect future results are:

· our expectations of future revenues, expenditures, capital or other funding requirements;

· the inherent uncertainties of product development based on our new and as yet not fully proven technologies;

· the risks and uncertainties regarding the actual effect on humans of seemingly safe and efficacious formulations and treatments when tested clinically;

· the inherent uncertainties associated with clinical trials of product candidates;

· the inherent uncertainties associated with the process of obtaining regulatory clearance or approval to market product candidates;

· the inherent uncertainties associated with commercialization of products that have received regulatory clearance or approval;

· economic and industry conditions generally and in our specific markets; and

· the volatility of, and decline in, our stock price.

All forward-looking statements and risk factors included in this Quarterly Report are made as of the date hereof, in each case based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligations to update any forward-looking statement or risk factor, unless we are required to do so by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make updates with respect to other forward-looking statements or that we will make any further updates to those forward-looking statements at any future time.

**Overview of Business**

We are a biotechnology company focused on developing cellular therapies for cancer, diabetes, and malignant ascites based upon a proprietary cellulose-based live cell encapsulation technology known as "Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup>." The Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology is intended to be used as a platform upon which therapies for several types of cancer, including LAPC, will be developed. The current generation of our product candidate is referred to as "CypCaps™."

On August 15, 2022, the Company entered into a Cooperation Agreement ("Cooperation Agreement") with Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. and its affiliates, pursuant to which the Company elected a reconstituted Board. The Board has formed a Business Review Committee to evaluate, investigate and review the Company's business, affairs, strategy, management and operations and in its sole discretion, to make recommendations to the Company's management and Board with respect thereto. The Business Review Committee is also reviewing many of the risks relative to the Company's business. In addition, the Board is reviewing risks associated with the Company's development programs and its relationship with SG Austria, including that all licensed patents have expired, that know-how relating to the Company's Cell-in-a-Box® technology solely resides with SG Austria, and that the incentives of SG Austria and its management may not be currently aligned with those of the Company. The Board has curtailed spending on the Company's programs, including pre-clinical and clinical activities, until the review by the Business Review Committee and the Board is complete and the Board has determined the actions and plans to be implemented. The Business Review Committee's recommendations will include potentially seeking a new framework for the Company's relationship with SG Austria and its subsidiaries. In the event that the Company is unsuccessful in seeking an acceptable new framework, the Company will reevaluate whether it should continue those programs which are dependent on SG Austria, including its development programs for LAPC, diabetes and malignant ascites. The issues involving SG Austria have delayed the Company's timeline for addressing the FDA clinical hold for its planned clinical trial in LAPC and could result in other delays or termination of the development activities. In addition, the curtailment of spending on the Company's programs pending the review by the Business Review Committee and the Board may cause additional delays.

The Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> encapsulation technology potentially enables genetically engineered live human cells to be used as a means to produce various biologically active molecules. The technology is intended to result in the formation of pinhead-sized cellulose-based porous capsules in which genetically modified live human cells can be encapsulated and maintained. In a laboratory setting, this proprietary live cell encapsulation technology has been shown to create a micro-environment in which encapsulated cells survive and flourish. They are protected from environmental challenges, such as the sheer forces associated with bioreactors and passage through catheters and needles, which we believe enables greater cell growth and production of the active molecules. The capsules are largely composed of cellulose (cotton) and are bioinert.

We have been developing therapies for pancreatic and other solid cancerous tumors by using genetically engineered live human cells that we believe are capable of converting a cancer prodrug into its cancer-killing form. We encapsulate those cells using the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology and place those capsules in the body as close as possible to the tumor. In this way, we believe that when a cancer prodrug is administered to a patient with a particular type of cancer that may be affected by the prodrug, the killing of the patient's cancerous tumor may be optimized.

We have also been developing a way to delay the production and accumulation of malignant ascites that results from many types of abdominal cancerous tumors. Our potential therapy for malignant ascites involves using the same encapsulated cells we employ for pancreatic cancer but placing the encapsulated cells in the peritoneal cavity of a patient and administering ifosfamide intravenously.

We have also been developing a potential therapy for Type 1 diabetes and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes. Our product candidate for the treatment of diabetes consists of encapsulated genetically modified insulin-producing cells. The encapsulation will be done using the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology. Implanting these encapsulated cells in the body is designed to have them function as a bio-artificial pancreas for purposes of insulin production.

In addition to the two cancer programs discussed above, we have been working on ways to exploit the benefits of the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology to develop therapies for cancer that involve prodrugs based upon certain constituents of the *Cannabis* plant. However, until the FDA allows us to commence our clinical trial in LAPC and we are able to validate our Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> encapsulation technology in a clinical trial, we are not spending any further resources developing our Cannabis Program.

Finally, the Company has been developing a potential therapy for Type 1 diabetes and insulin-dependent Type 2 diabetes. The Company's product candidate for the treatment of diabetes consists of encapsulated genetically modified insulin-producing cells. The encapsulation will be done using the Cell-in-a-Box<sup>®</sup> technology. Implanting these encapsulated cells in the body is designed to have them function as a bio-artificial pancreas for purposes of insulin production.

Until the Business Review Committee completes its evaluation of the Company's programs and the Company enters into a new framework for its relationship with SG Austria, spending on the Company's development programs has been curtailed.

<u>Investigational New Drug Application and Clinical Hold</u>

On September 1, 2020, we submitted an IND to the FDA for a planned clinical trial in LAPC. On October 1, 2020, we received notice from the FDA that it had placed our IND on clinical hold. On October 30, 2020, the FDA sent us a letter setting forth the reasons for the clinical hold and providing specific guidance on what we must do to have the clinical hold lifted.

In order to address the clinical hold, the FDA has requested that we:

· Provide additional sequencing data and genetic stability studies;

· Conduct a stability study on our final formulated product candidate as well as the cells from our Master Cell Bank ("MCB");

· Evaluate the compatibility of the delivery devices (the prefilled syringe and the microcatheter used to implant the CypCaps<sup>™</sup>) with our product candidate for pancreatic cancer;

· Provide additional detailed description of the manufacturing process of our product candidate for pancreatic cancer;

· Provide additional product release specifications for our encapsulated cells;

· Demonstrate comparability between the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> generation of our product candidate for pancreatic cancer and ensure adequate and consistent product performance and safety between the two generations;

· Conduct a biocompatibility assessment using the capsules material;

· Address specified insufficiencies in the Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls information in the cross-referenced Drug Master File;

· Conduct an additional nonclinical study in a large animal (such as a pig) to assess the safety, activity, and distribution of the product candidate for pancreatic cancer; and

· Revise the Investigators Brochure to include any additional preclinical studies conducted in response to the clinical hold and remove any statements not supported by the data we generated.

The FDA also requested that we address the following issues as an amendment to our IND:

· Provide a Certificate of Analysis for pc3/2B1 plasmid that includes tests for assessing purity, safety, and potency;

· Perform qualification studies for the drug substance filling step to ensure that the product candidate for pancreatic cancer remains sterile and stable during the filling process;

· Submit an updated batch analysis for the product candidate for the specific lot that will be used for manufacturing all future product candidates;

· Provide additional details for the methodology for the Resorufin (CYP2B1) potency and the PrestoBlue cell metabolic assays;

· Provide a few examples of common microcatheters that fit the specifications in our Angiography Procedure Manual;

· Clarify the language in our Pharmacy Manual regarding proper use of the syringe fill with the product candidate for pancreatic cancer; and

· Provide a discussion with data for trial of the potential for cellular and humoral immune reactivity against the heterologous rat CYP2B1 protein and potential for induction of autoimmune-mediated toxicities in our study population.

We assembled a scientific and regulatory team of experts to address the FDA requests. That team has been working diligently to complete the items requested by the FDA. We are in the latter stages of conducting the studies and providing the information requested by the FDA. We have completed the pilot study of two pigs and are evaluating the preliminary data before it commences the larger study of 90 pigs.

The following provides a detailed summary of our activities to have the clinical hold lifted:

· <u>Additional Regulatory Expertise Added to IND Team</u>. In addition to our existing team of regulatory experts, we retained Biologics Consulting to perform a regulatory "Gap Analysis" and to assist us with our resubmission of the IND. Biologics Consulting is a full-service regulatory and product development consulting firm for biologics, pharmaceuticals and medical devices and has personnel with extensive FDA experience.

· <u>Stability Studies on Our Clinical Trial Product Candidate for Pancreatic Cancer</u>. We have successfully completed the required product stability studies. The timepoints were 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months of our product candidate for pancreatic cancer being stored frozen at -80C. These studies included container closure integrity testing for certain timepoints.

· <u>Additional Studies Requested by the FDA</u>. We have successfully completed various additional studies requested by the FDA, including a stability study on the cells from our MCB used to make our CypCaps™. We are already at the 36-month stability timepoint for the cells from our MCB. We are also collating existing information on the reproducibility and quality of the filling of the MCB cells into vials ready for CypCaps™ manufacturing.

· <u>Determination of the Exact Sequence of the Cytochrome P450 2B1 Gene</u>. We have completed the determination of the exact sequence of the cytochrome P450 2B1 gene inserted at the site previously identified on chromosome 9 using state-of-the-art nanopore sequencing. This is a cutting edge, unique and scalable technology that permits real-time analysis of long DNA fragments. The result of this analysis of the sequence data confirmed that the genes are intact.

· <u>Confirmation of the Exact Sequence of the Cytochrome P450 2B1 Gene Insert</u>. An additional, more detailed analysis of the integration site of the cytochrome P450 2B1 gene from the augmented HEK293 cell clone that is used in our CypCaps™ was found to be intact. In this new study, we were able to confirm the previously determined structure of the integrated transgene sequence using more data points. These studies also set the stage for a next step analysis to determine the genetic stability of the cytochrome P450 2B1 gene at the DNA level after multiple rounds of cell growth. This new study has been completed in which our original Research Cell Bank ("RCB") cells were compared with cells from the MCB. The analysis confirmed that the cytochrome P450 2B1 and the surrounding sequence has remained stable with no changes detected at the DNA level.

· <u>Biocompatibility Studies</u>. We have been
 involved with 10 biocompatibility studies requested by the FDA, eight of which have been completed successfully. The remaining studies
 are underway or about to start. The Acute Systemic Toxicity Study of Empty Cellulose Sulphate Capsules in Mice is underway. The Skin Sensitization
 Study of Empty Cellulose Sulphate Capsules in Guinea Pigs is about to start. These last two studies should be completed well before
 the pig study (see below) is completed. To enable the biocompatibility studies to be performed,
 we had Austrianova Singapore Pte. Ltd. ("Austrianova") manufacture an additional 400 syringes of empty capsules.

· <u>Systemic Toxicity Testing</u>. We evaluated the potential toxicity of the capsule component of our product candidate for pancreatic cancer and determined there is no evidence of toxicity in any of the parameters examined. The study also confirmed previous data that shows our capsule material is bioinert.

· <u>Micro-Compression and Swelling Testing</u>. This testing is underway. We are developing and optimizing two reproducible methods for testing and confirming the physical stability and integrity of our CypCaps™ under extreme pressure. These studies required the acquisition of new equipment by Austrianova as well as validation and integration into Austrianova's Quality Control laboratory.

· <u>Break Force and Glide Testing</u>. We are in the process of developing a protocol to measure whether the syringe, attached to the catheter when used to expel the capsules, will still have a break and glide force that is within the specifications we have established. We are setting the specifications based on the syringe/plunger manufacturer's measured break and glide forces, or alternatively, accepted ranges for glide forces routinely used in the clinic.

· <u>Capsules Compatibility with the Syringe and Other Components of the Microcatheter Delivery System</u>. We are in the process of showing that CypCaps™ are not in any way adversely affected by the catheters used by interventional radiologists to deliver them into a patient. Compatibility data is being generated to demonstrate that the quality of the CypCaps™ is maintained after passage through the planned microcatheter systems.

· <u>CypCaps Capsules and Cell Viability after Exposure to Contrast Medium</u>. We have commenced testing to show that exposure of CypCaps™ to the contrast medium interventional radiologists used to implant the CypCaps™ in a patient has no adverse effect on CypCaps™. Contrast medium is used to visualize the blood vessels during implantation.

· <u>Master Drug File Information</u>. Austrianova is providing additional detailed confidential information on the manufacturing process, including information on the improvements and advancements made to our product candidate for pancreatic cancer since the last clinical trials were conducted with respect to reproducibility and safety. However, Austrianova has not changed the overall physical characteristics of CypCaps™ between the 1<sup>st</sup> and 2<sup>nd</sup> generations.

· <u>Additional Documentation Requested by the FDA</u> **.** We are in the process of updating our IND submission documentation, including our discussion on immunological aspects of our treatment
 for LAPC.

· <u>Pig Study</u>. We have commenced a study in pigs to address biocompatibility and long-term implantation and dispersion of CypCaps™. The study has two phases: (i) a pilot study with 2 pigs; and (ii) a 90-pig study. The first phase has been completed and we are evaluating preliminary data. We believe this study should complement the positive data already available from the previous human clinical trials showing the safety of CypCaps™ implantation in human patients. The second phase of the pig study may be delayed as a result of supply chain problems, production delays at Austrianova, and to the Company's curtailment of spending pending review of the Company's programs by the Business Review Committee and the reconstituted Board (See "Business Review Committee"), including seeking a new framework for its relationship with SG Austria and its subsidiaries.

**Reverse Stock Split**

Effective July 12, 2021, we filed a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State that authorized a 1:1500 reverse stock split of our common stock. The reverse stock split resulted in reducing the authorized number of shares of our common stock from 50 billion to 33,333,334 with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded up to the next whole share. All warrants, option, share and per share information in this Quarterly Report gives retroactive effect to such 1:1500 reverse stock split.

**Impact of COVID-19 on Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared an outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the world's economies have experienced pronounced effects. Despite the multiple COVID-19 vaccines globally, there remains uncertainty around the extent and duration of disruption and any future related financial impact cannot reasonably be estimated at this time. COVID-19 has caused and may continue to cause significant, industry-wide delays in clinical trials. Although the Company is not yet in a clinical trial, the Company has filed an IND with the FDA to commence a clinical trial in LAPC, and this clinical trial may experience delays relating to COVID-19 once commenced, including but not limited to: (i) delays or difficulties in enrolling patients in the Company's clinical trial if the FDA allows the Company to go forward with the trial; (ii) delays or difficulties in clinical site activation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site personnel; (iii) delays in clinical sites receiving the supplies and materials needed to conduct the clinical trial, including interruption in global shipping that may affect the transport of the Company's clinical trial product; (iv) changes in local regulations as part of a response to COVID-19 which may require the Company to change the ways in which its clinical trial is to be conducted, which may result in unexpected costs, or to discontinue the clinical trial altogether; (v) diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as the Company's clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of the Company's clinical trial; (vi) interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others, or interruption of clinical trial subject visits and study procedures, the occurrence of which could affect the integrity of clinical trial data; (vii) risk that participants enrolled in our clinical trials will acquire COVID-19 while the clinical trial is ongoing, which could impact the results of the clinical trial, including by increasing the number of observed adverse events; (viii) delays in necessary interactions with local regulators, ethics committees, and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees; (ix) limitations in employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of the Company's clinical trial because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people; (x) refusal of the FDA to accept data from clinical trials in affected geographies; and (xi) interruption or delays to the Company's clinical trial activities. Many of these potential delays may be exacerbated by the impact of COVID-19 in foreign countries where the Company is conducting these preclinical studies, including India, Europe, Singapore and Thailand.

Further, the various precautionary measures taken by many governmental authorities around the world in order to limit the spread of COVID-19 has had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the global markets and global economy, including on the availability and pricing of employees, resources, materials, manufacturing and delivery efforts and other aspects of the global economy. COVID-19 could materially disrupt the Company's business and operations, hamper its ability to raise additional funds or sell securities, continue to slow down the overall economy, curtail consumer spending, interrupt the Company's supply chain, and make it hard to adequately staff the Company's operations.

**Performance Indicators** 

Non-financial performance indicators used by management to manage and assess how the business is progressing will include, but are not limited to, the ability to: (i) acquire appropriate funding for all aspects of our operations; (ii) acquire and complete necessary contracts; (iii) complete activities for producing genetically modified human cells and having them encapsulated for our preclinical studies and the planned clinical trial in LAPC; (iv) have regulatory work completed to enable studies and trials to be submitted to regulatory agencies; (v) complete all required tests and studies on the cells and capsules we plan to use in our clinical trial in patients with LAPC; (vi) ensure completion of the production of encapsulated cells according to cGMP regulations to use in our planned clinical trial; (vii) complete all of the tasked the FDA requires of us in order to have the clinical hold lifted; and (viii) obtain approval from the FDA to lift the clinical hold on our IND so that we may commence our clinical trial in LAPC.

There are numerous items required to be completed successfully to ensure our final product candidate is ready for use in our planned clinical trial in LAPC. The effects of material transactions with related parties, and certain other parties to the extent necessary for such an undertaking, may have substantial effects on both the timeliness and success of our current and prospective financial position and operating results. In addition, the review of our programs by our Business Review Committee and reconstituted Board and the curtailment of spending until their review is complete and recommendations are made may have an adverse effect on the timeliness and success of our programs. In addition, if we are unsuccessful in seeking a new framework for the Company's relationship with SG Austria and its subsidiaries, the Company will reevaluate whether it should continue those programs which are dependent on SG Austria, including its programs for LAPC, diabetes and malignant ascites. See "Overview of Business." We will assess these factors on a regular basis to provide accurate information to our shareholders.

<u>Operating Activities:</u>

The cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022, is a result of our net losses offset by securities issued for services and compensation of approximately $648,000 and $104,000, respectively, other income of approximately $166,000 and $0, respectively, and changes to prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling approximately $129,000 and $213,000, respectively.

<u>Investing Activities</u>: We had no investing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, and 2022.

<u>Financing Activities:</u>

The cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities for the nine months ended January 31, 2023, is mainly attributable to the repurchase of common stock net of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock in the amount of approximately $9.3 million.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

As of January 31, 2023, our cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $73 million, compared to approximately $87 million as of January 31, 2022. Working capital was approximately $72 million as of January 31, 2023, compared to approximately $87 million as of January 31, 2022. The decrease in cash is attributable to an increase in our operating expenses of approximately $3.5 million and the repurchase of our common stock of approximately $9.3 million.

On August 9, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement to offer and sell shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock and warrants to purchase common stock in a public offering ("First Offering"). The gross proceeds of the First Offering were $15 million, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses.

In August 2021, the Company received 27 cash exercise notices relating to the common warrants with respect to the First Offering totaling 2,522,387 warrant shares ("Warrant Exercises"). The Company received approximately $10,720,000 and issued 2,522,387 shares of common stock as a result of the exercise notices.

On August 19, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement ("Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors ("Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct offering ("Registered Direct Offering") shares of the Company's common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock. Further, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (together with the Registered Direct Offering, "Second Offering"), the Company also agreed to issue to the Purchasers unregistered warrants ("Series A Warrants") to purchase shares of common stock. The Company received gross proceeds from the Second Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $70 million. On November 17, 2021, the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 registering the resale of the common stock underlying the Series A Warrants was declared effective by the Commission.

In total, in August 2021, we received funding in the amount of approximately $87.4 million through the First Offering and the Second Offering and the Warrant Exercises. Sales of our common stock, pre-funded warrants and exercise of Common Warrants occurred in the First Offering, Second Offering, and the Warrant Exercises.

On May 14, 2018, we entered into amendments to all of the material agreements with SG Austria and Austrianova (see Section entitled, History of the Business" in Item 1. Business in our Form 10-K for the period ended April 30, 2022, for a description of these amendments). These arrangements are under review by our Business Review Committee and reconstituted Board which has curtailed spending on our programs until their review is complete and recommendations are made. This includes seeking a new framework for the Company's relationship with SG Austria and Austrianova. In the event the Company is unsuccessful in such efforts, the Company will reevaluate whether it should continue those programs which are dependent on SG Austria, including its programs for LAPC, diabetes and malignant ascites. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements that could have a material current effect or that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

To meet our short and long-term liquidity needs, we expect to use existing cash balances and a variety of other means. Other sources of liquidity could include additional potential issuances of debt or equity securities in public or private financings, partnerships, collaborations and sale of assets. Our history of operating losses and liquidity challenges may make it difficult for us to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all. The demand for the equity and debt of pharmaceutical companies like ours is dependent upon many factors, including the general state of the financial markets. During times of extreme market volatility, capital may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Our inability to obtain such additional capital could materially and adversely affect our business operations. Our future capital requirements are difficult to forecast and will depend on many factors, but we believe that our cash on hand will enable us to fund operating expenses for at least the next 12 months following the issuance of our financial statements.

**Service Agreements**

We entered into several service agreements, with both independent and related parties, pursuant to which services will be provided over the next twelve months related to the clinical hold on our IND submission involving LAPC. The services include developing studies and strategies relating to clearing the clinical hold. The total cost is estimated to be approximately $214,000, of which the related party portion will be approximately $157,000. These agreements are under review by our Business Review Committee and reconstituted Board which has curtailed spending on this program until their review is complete and recommendations are made.

**Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies**

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our financial statements are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material.

Our significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Management believes that the accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results and require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments resulting from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these critical accounting estimates and related disclosures with our Board.

**Research and Development Expenses**

R&D expenses consist of costs incurred for direct and overhead-related research expenses and are expensed as incurred. Costs to acquire technologies, including licenses, which are utilized in R&D and that have no alternative future use are expensed when incurred. Technology developed for use in our product candidates is expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established.

**Stock-Based Compensation**

Our stock-based compensation plans are described in Notes 2 and 5 of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report. We follow the provisions of ASC 718, *Compensation - Stock Compensation* ("ASC 718"), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees.

**Net Income (Loss) Per Share**

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock is computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and shares of common stock equivalents outstanding. Potentially dilutive stock options and warrants to purchase 10,172,783 and 10,821,982 post reverse stock split shares of common stock at January 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

**New Accounting Pronouncements**

For a discussion of all recently adopted and recently issued but not yet adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

The information called for by Item 3 is not required for a smaller reporting company.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our Interim Chairman, Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Interim President, as our principal executive officer ("Chief Executive Officer"), and our Chief Financial Officer, as our principal financial officer ("Chief Financial Officer"), evaluated the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit to the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the period specified by the Commission's rules and forms and are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 12, 2022, certain of our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

Reference should be made to our Form 10-K filed with the Commission on July 28, 2022, for additional information regarding discussion of the effectiveness of the Company's control and procedures.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Also, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

***Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting***

Effective October 6, 2022, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President and General Counsel, Mr. Kenneth L. Waggoner, resigned from all positions with the Company and its subsidiaries. Mr. Waggoner will serve as an independent contractor for a period of twelve months to be available to assist with the transition of management. On November 14, 2022, the Board approved the employment of Mr. Joshua N. Silverman as the Interim Chairman of the Board, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim President.

Other than the foregoing, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended January 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The Certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required in accordance with Rule 13a-14(a) under the Exchange Act and Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Certifications") are attached to this Quarterly Report. The disclosures set forth in this Item 4 contain information concerning: (i) the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, and changes in internal control over financial reporting, referred to in paragraph 4 of the Certifications; and (ii) material weaknesses in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting, referred to in paragraph 5 of the Certifications. The Certifications should be read in conjunction with this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by the Certifications.

**PART II – OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

There is no material litigation currently pending against us or any of our subsidiaries or to which any of our or our subsidiaries' property is subject. To our knowledge, there is no material litigation against any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such, and no such litigation is contemplated by any governmental authorities.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

The information called for by Item 1A is not required for a smaller reporting company. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Commission on July 28, 2022. These risk factors could materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition. Additional factors and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company filed with the Commission on July 28, 2022.

***We have experienced significant management changes which could increase our control risks and have a material adverse effect on our ability to do business and our results of operations.***

We have recently experienced a number of changes in our management, including changes in our Chief Executive Officer and Board. The magnitude of these changes and the short time interval in which they have occurred add to the risks of control failures, including a failure in the effective operation of our internal control over financial reporting or our disclosure controls and procedures. Control failures could result in material adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations. It may take time for the new management team to become sufficiently familiar with our business and each other to effectively develop and implement our business strategies. The turnover of key management positions could further harm our financial performance and results of operations. Management attention may be diverted from regular business concerns by reorganizations.

**Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.**

During the three-months ended January 31, 2023, there were no shares issued.

On June 2, 2022, the Company announced that the Board had authorized a share repurchase program to acquire up to $10 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "Repurchase Program"). The number of shares of common stock repurchased on any given trading day is determined by a formula, which is based on the market price of the common stock and average daily volumes. The Repurchase Program expires on May 30, 2024. On January 31, 2023, the Board authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to an additional $10 million of the Company's outstanding common stock (the "New Program"). Under the New Program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, privately negotiated block transactions or other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. For more information on the Repurchase Program, see "Note 12 – Treasury Stock."

**Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.**

None.

**Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure.**

Not applicable.

**Item 5. Other Information**.

As previously disclosed, on December 28, 2022, our stockholders approved an amendment (the "Amendment") to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 33,333,334 to 133,333,334 ("Authorized Share Increase"). On March 7, 2023, the Board approved the filing of the Amendment, and on March 14, 2023, the Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, effective immediately.

I, Carlos A. Trujillo, certify that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. I have reviewed the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. ("Report") and its subsidiaries for the period ended January 31, 2023;
