Sales and marketing expenses increased to $698,185 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $356,948 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The majority of the increase related to public relation services, website marketing development and increased advertising and promotion costs.

General and administrative : General and administrative expenses mainly comprised of professional fees, travel expenses, meals and entertainment and other office support costs. General and administrative expenses increased $1,139,291 to $2,092,775 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $953,484 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The majority of the increase related to increased utilization of common stock as compensation for services provided by certain officers, advisory members and board members which totaled $1,343,690 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $598,000 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 driven by efforts to increase overall awareness and aid in raising capital. Additionally, the acquisition of Trace Analytics in January 2019 contributed $171,132 of general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The remaining amount of the increase related to higher professional and advisory fees and other supportive general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization : Depreciation expense was $40,627 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $224,770 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The decrease relates to amortization during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 related to a brand that we acquired in February 2017, which was fully expensed during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. We did not own any similar intangibles that required amortization during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

Impairment of asset : During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, sales of the VitaCBD products did not meet our expectations. As such, we were not able to achieve the expected operating results from the VitaCBD brand products. As a result, we impaired the intangible asset related to the acquisition of the VitaCBD brand name and recorded an impairment charge of $893,667, which reflected the net book value of the intangible as of March 31, 2018.

Change in fair value of Equity Investments: On April 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. As such, during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we measured our equity investments at each reporting period at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we were able to obtain observable evidence that certain of our equity investments had increased to a total aggregate value of $898,292, which was $429,755 higher than the original purchase price of these investments. As such, we recorded an unrecognized gain from the change in market value of $429,755 during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

Dividend received from equity investment: In February 2019, we received a distribution of $186,397 from our investment with Bailey Venture Partners XII LLC (“Bailey”) through Bailey’s investment in JUUL Labs, Inc.

Interest Expense : During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $148,601 of interest costs related to a convertible notes that we entered into during our current fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 along with amortization of $500,274 of debt discount recorded in conjunction with the convertible notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash flows for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 is as follows:

Net cash used in operating activities was $905,051 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $637,467 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The increase in use of cash in operations mainly related to higher general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses from our operations.

Net cash used in investing activities was $713,294 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $173,236 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The increase in use of cash was primarily related to $711,739 related to our purchase of Trace Analytics as compared to our acquisition of equity investments of $168,537 during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,604,455 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $695,000 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The increase primarily relates to our issuance of convertible notes totaling $1,529,455 during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, which we did not incur during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, as compared to sales of shares of our common stock which totaled $75,000 during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $795,000 for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. In addition, during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, we paid $100,000 to repurchase 5,400,000 shares of our common stock held by two former board members.

Going Concern

Our uses of cash have been primarily for strategic investments we made, including the purchase of Trace Analytics, and operations and marketing efforts to promote our products and company. Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash provided by financing, primarily through the sale of equity securities and issuance of convertible notes. We anticipate that significant additional expenditures will be necessary to expand and bring to market our products and investments before sufficient and consistent positive operating cash flows will be achieved. As such, we anticipate that additional funds will be needed to continue operations, obtain profitability and to achieve our objectives. As of the date of this Form 10-K, our cash resources are insufficient to meet our current operating expense requirements and planned business objectives beyond the date of this Form 10-K filing without additional financing.

As reflected in the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere is this Form 10-K, as of March 31, 2019 we had cash on hand and had an accumulated deficit of $47,044 and $5,531,260, respectively, and during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we utilized cash for operations and incurred a net loss of $905,051 and $2,679,022, respectively. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further, our independent auditors in their audit report for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from our operations. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we raised $1,529,455 through the issuance of convertible notes and $75,000 through the receipt of Subscription Agreements (“Subscription”) where we sold shares of our common stock to accredited investors. As of March 31, 2019, we had cash on hand of $47,044. We estimate that such funds will not be sufficient to continue operations without obtaining additional funds. As such, we are currently working on obtaining additional funds to operate our business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-K filing. However, there can be no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms acceptable to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on our operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders in the case of convertible debt and equity financing.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among other things, estimates include the collectability of accounts receivable, recoverability of inventory, assumptions made in determining impairment of investments and intangible, useful life of our intangible, and accruals for potential liabilities. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.

Investments

Through March 31, 2018, we used either the equity method or the cost method of accounting. We used the equity method for unconsolidated equity investments in which we were considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. We used the cost method for all other investments. Under the cost method, there is no change to the cost basis unless there is an other-than-temporary decline in value or dividends are received. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary, we would write down the cost basis of the investment to a new cost basis that represents realizable value.

On April 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Among other things, this new guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As such, we now measure our equity investments at their fair value at end of each reporting period.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Estimations and assumptions regarding the number of reporting units, future performances, results of the Company’s operations and comparability of its market capitalization and net book value will be used. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is measured by the resulting amount. Because the Company has one reporting unit, as part of the Company’s qualitative assessment an entity-wide approach to assess goodwill for impairment is utilized. No impairment losses have been recorded in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company has currently recorded goodwill of $1,941,089 representing the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of net tangible assets in the acquisition of Trace Analytics. This is considered a provisional allocation of the purchase price and is subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained through the purchase price measurement period (a period of up to one year from the closing date of January 1, 2019).

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting where the cost is allocated to the underlying net tangible and intangible assets acquired, based on their respective fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree are recognized and measured as of the acquisition date at fair value. Additionally, contingent consideration, if any. is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and classified as a liability. Goodwill is recognized to the extent by which the aggregate of the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree exceeds the recognized basis of the identifiable assets acquired, net of assumed liabilities. Determining the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests requires management’s judgment and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors

Applied Biosciences Corp.

Beverly Hills, California

Opinion on the Consolidated financial statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Applied Biosciences Corp. (the "Company") as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "(consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED

MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Company

Applied BioSciences Corp. (formerly First Fixtures, Inc. and Stony Hill Corp. or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 21, 2014 and established a fiscal year end of March 31. The Company is a vertically integrated company focused on the development of science-driven cannabinoid therapeutics / biopharmaceuticals, and delivering high-quality CBD products as well as state-of-the-art testing and analytics capabilities.

Effective October 24, 2016 the Company changed its name from First Fixtures Inc. to Stony Hill Corp and on March 6, 2018, the Company changed its name from Stony Hill Corp. to Applied BioSciences Corp.

In January 2019, the Company closed on a purchase of 520,410 shares of common stock of Trace Analytics, Inc., a Washington corporation (“Trace Analytics”), for an aggregate purchase price of $1,250,000, of which $750,000 was paid in cash and $500,000 was paid in shares of common stock of the Company. Trace Analytics is a cannabis testing laboratory. Immediately following the purchase, the Company holds 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Trace Analytics.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As reflected in the consolidated financial statements, during the year ended March 31, 2019 the Company incurred a net loss of $2,679,022 and used $905,051 of cash in operating activities, and had a working capital deficiency of $19,807 as of March 31, 2019. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital and to ultimately achieve sustainable revenues and income from operations. During the fiscal period ended March 31, 2019, the Company sold 37,500 shares of its common stock to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per share for total proceeds of $75,000 and issued convertible notes for total proceeds of approximately $1,600,000 both in private placements to accredited investors. However, the Company will need and is currently working on obtaining additional funds to operate its business through and beyond the date of this Form 10-K filing. There is no assurance that such funds will be available or at terms acceptable to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions and covenants on its operations, in the case of debt financing or cause substantial dilution for its stockholders in the case of convertible debt and equity financing.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

Preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain 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 period. Among other things, management estimates include the collectability of its accounts receivable, recoverability of inventory, estimates of fair value of equity investments, assumptions made in determining purchase price allocation, impairment of investments and intangible assets, accruals for potential liabilities, and realization of deferred tax assets. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require judgments, involve analysis of historical information and the prediction of future trends, and are subject to change from period to period. Actual amounts could differ significantly from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company follows paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Level 1		Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2		Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.

Level 3		Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company uses Level 3 inputs for its investments.

The changes in carrying amounts of the equity investments the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Beginning balance	$	468,537	$	300,000
Acquisitions		—		168,537
Dispositions				—
Net changes in valuation		429,755		—
Ending balance	$	898,292	$	468,537

MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenue is principally derived from its subsidiaries, Applied Products LLC, and Trace Analytics.

	·	Applied Products LLC revenues are generated from sales of high-quality CBD products for consumer and pet health and wellness. Sales of these products were made to individual distributors and through online channels. Revenue from the sale of these products was $543,970 and $197,554 during the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively

	·	Trace Analytics generates revenue from services by offering state-of-the-art testing and analytics capabilities to CBD and hemp companies. Sales of these services are to marijuana producers and processors, dispensaries, and CBD and hemp companies. Revenue from the sale of these services was $163,092 during the years ended March 31, 2019. There were no such sales during the previous period.

Prior to April 1, 2018, the Company recognized its revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605 Revenue Recognition , upon the delivery of its services or products when: (1) delivery had occurred or services rendered; (2) persuasive evidence of an arrangement existed; (3) there are no continuing obligations to the customer; and (4) the collection of related accounts receivable was probable.

Effective April 1, 2018 the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASC 606”) which superseded previous revenue recognition guidance. The underlying principle of ASC 606 is to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at the amount expected to be collected. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying the Company’s performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients. The Company has concluded that the new guidance did not require any significant change to its revenue recognition processes and the implementation of ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Shipping Cost

The Company recognizes amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping as revenue. The costs incurred by the Company for shipping are classified as cost of revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Advertising

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense for the fiscal periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $541,873 and $160,295, respectively, and were included in "Sales and marketing expenses" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally on a first-in-first-out average cost basis. Inventories consist of finished goods held for sale. Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records an inventory provision for excess or obsolete inventory based on the future expected demand for our products. Inventory write-downs are measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and market value, based upon assumptions about future demand that are inherently difficult to assess. There was no provision for inventory obsolescence necessary as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of accounts. The Company regularly reviews the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts by considering the age of each outstanding invoice and the collection history of each customer to determine whether a specific allowance is appropriate. Accounts receivable deemed uncollectible are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. As of March 31, 2018, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,227. The Company did not deem it necessary to provide an allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2019.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company uses an estimated useful life of three years for employee-related computers and software, three years for other office equipment and computer hardware, and five years for machinery and furniture. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease-term or the estimated useful life of the related asset.

Management regularly reviews property and equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Based upon management’s annual assessment, there were no indicators of impairment of the Company’s property and equipment and other long-lived assets as of March 31, 2019.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Shares of common stock to be issued are included in weighted average shares calculation from the date of grant. The diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted average number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per share due to the lack of dilutive items.

Investments

Through March 31, 2018, the Company used either the equity method or the cost method of accounting. The Company used the equity method for unconsolidated equity investments in which the Company was considered to have significant influence over the operations of the investee. The Company used the cost method for all other investments. Under the cost method, there is no change to the cost basis unless there is an other-than-temporary decline in value or dividends are received. If the decline is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes down the cost basis of the investment to a new cost basis that represents realizable value.

On April 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 primarily affects equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. Among other things, this new guidance requires certain equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. As such, the Company measures its equity investments at their fair value at end of each reporting period.

Investments accounted for under the equity method or cost method of accounting above are included in the caption "Equity investments" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Intangible Asset

Intangible assets are recorded when such assets are acquired and are amortized over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. The Company regularly reviews intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful lives have changed from the original estimate or that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, the Company assesses the recoverability of identified intangible assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets and occur in the period in which the impairment determination was made.

On February 23, 2017, the Company consummated an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with mCig, Inc. for the purchase of the VitaCBD brand name. In connection with the Agreement, the Company recorded intangible assets of $1,138,135. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, sales of the VitaCBD products did not meet management’s expectations and the Company was not able to achieve the expected operating results. As a result, the Company impaired the intangible asset related to the acquisition of the VitaCBD brand name and recorded an impairment charge of $893,667.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded goodwill of $1,941,149 related to the purchase of Trace Analytics (see Note5). The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events and changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its annual impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. Impairment of goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. Estimations and assumptions regarding the number of reporting units, future performances, results of the Company’s operations and comparability of its market capitalization and net book value will be used. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and an impairment loss is measured by the resulting amount. Because the Company has one reporting unit, as part of the Company’s qualitative assessment an entity-wide approach to assess goodwill for impairment is utilized. No impairment losses have been recorded in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company’s statements of operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with the authoritative guidance whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances and tax loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment.

Segments

The Company operates in one segment for the distribution of products and services. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and the countries in which the entity holds material assets and reports revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to their similar customer base and similarities in: economic characteristics; nature of products and services; and procurement, manufacturing and distribution processes. Since the Company operates in one segment, all financial information required by “Segment Reporting” can be found in the accompanying consolidated financial statements

Concentrations

Revenues . For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, 48% and 18% of revenue were generated from our two largest customers. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, 15%,11%, and 10% of revenue were generated from our three largest customers.

Accounts receivable . At March 31, 2019, one customer of the Company represented 49% of its accounts receivable. At March 31, 2018, one customer of the Company represented 81% of its accounts receivable.

Accounts payable. On March 31, 2019, accounts payable to the Company’s largest vendor represented 52%. There was no vendor that represented 10% or more of the Company’s accounts payable balance on March 31, 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases , which was subsequently amended in 2018 by ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11 and ASU 2018-20 (collectively, Topic 842). Topic 842 will require the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For operating leases, the asset and liability will be expensed over the lease term on a straight-line basis, with all cash flows included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability will be recognized separately from the amortization of the right-of-use asset in the statement of comprehensive income and the repayment of the principal portion of the lease liability will be classified as a financing activity while the interest component will be included in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. Topic 842 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, leases will be recognized and measured at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Topic 842 allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period the new lease standard is adopted and will not require restatement of prior periods. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of Topic 842 on the Company’s financial statements and disclosures, though the adoption is expected to result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheets.

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) - Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features. ASU 2017-11 allows companies to exclude a down round feature when determining whether a financial instrument (or embedded conversion feature) is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock. As a result, financial instruments (or embedded conversion features) with down round features may no longer be required to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. A company will recognize the value of a down round feature only when it is triggered and the strike price has been adjusted downward. For equity-classified freestanding financial instruments, an entity will treat the value of the effect of the down round as a dividend and a reduction of income available to common shareholders in computing basic earnings per share. For convertible instruments with embedded conversion features containing down round provisions, entities will recognize the value of the down round as a beneficial conversion discount to be amortized to earnings. The guidance in ASU 2017-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance is to be applied using a full or modified retrospective approach. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2017-11 on April 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2017-11 is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures because the conversion feature of the Company’s warrants have features other than down round provisions that require the current accounting treatment and classification.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.

As a private company, GemmaCert does not have a readily determinable fair value. Additionally, there have been no observable price changes from transactions for similar investments in GemmaCert during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. As such, the Company has measured the value of the investment at cost as of March 31, 2019, which we believe approximates market value.

(B) In January 2017, the Company entered in to an agreement to purchase 59,524 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $4.20 per share for total investment of $250,000, which accounts for less than 5% investment in Hightimes Holdings Corp. (“Hightimes”). Hightimes owns High Times Magazine and hosts festivals, events and competitions including the High Times Cannabis Cup and multiple e-commerce properties, including HighTimes.com, CannabisCup.com and 420.com. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company was able to obtain observable evidence that the investment had a market value of $11.00 per share, or an aggregate value of $654,763. As such, the Company recorded an unrealized gain from the change in market value of $404,763 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.

(C) In June 2017, the Company entered in a Subscription Agreement to purchase 0.5% interest in Precision Cultivation Systems, LLC (“Precision”), a Delaware limited liability company, for a purchase price of $50,000.

As part of the Subscription Agreement, $42,500 of the investment is subject to repayment on a pro-rata basis with other investors who have entered into similar Subscription Agreements. Amounts subject to repayment are solely at the discretion of Precision.

As a private company, Precision does not have a readily determinable fair value. Additionally, there have been no observable price changes from transactions for similar investments in Precision during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. As such, the Company has measured the value of the investment at cost as of March 31, 2019, which we believe approximates market value.

(D) In January 2018, the Company paid $100,000 for the purchase of a Membership Interest in Bailey Venture Partners XII LLC (“Bailey”) representing less than 5% interest in Bailey. Along with other funds received from third-party investors, Bailey plans to invest funds received in various strategic investments. In February 2019, the Company received a distribution of $186,397 from Bailey’s investment in JUUL Labs, Inc.

As a private company, Bailey does not have a readily determinable fair value. Additionally, there have been no observable price changes from transactions for similar investments in Bailey during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. As such, the Company has measured the value of the investment at cost as of March 31, 2019, which we believe approximates market value.

As the Company does not participate in the management of these companies nor has the ability to exercise significant influence over these companies, the Company recorded these investments at cost, and as of April 1, 2018, adjusted the cost basis to market at the end of each reporting period. Dividends, if any, are recognized when received.

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED

MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. The Company is in the process of performing an allocation of the purchase price paid for the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The fair values of the assets acquired, as set forth below, are considered provisional and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained through the purchase price measurement period (a period of up to one year from the closing date). The provisional allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s preliminary estimates. Once management completes its analysis to finalize the purchase price allocation, it is reasonably possible that there could be changes to the preliminary values. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to identifiable intangible assets and goodwill.

The following table summarizes the provisional amounts of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

	Amount
Cash	$	38,261
Accounts receivable		127,997
Prepaid expense		34,890
Due from purchaser		200,000
Office and lab equipment		486,679
Total assets acquired		887,827
Accounts payable		(347,517	)
Note payable		(25,000	)
Accrued expenses		(5,479	)
Total liabilities assumed		(377,996	)
Net identifiable assets acquired		509,831
Less the fair value of non-controlling interest		(1,200,980	)
Goodwill		1,941,149
Total purchase consideration	$	1,250,000

Based on management’s analysis of the acquisition transaction pursuant to the provisions of ASC 805, the Company determined that any customer lists or business licenses held by Trace Analytics are immaterial in relation to the overall value of Trace; additionally, Trace Analytics does not hold any patents or proprietary technology, and does not have long-term contractual arrangements with customers. As such, there are no separately identifiable intangible assets meeting the criteria of ASC 805. Concurrently, the Company preliminarily allocated the $1,941,149 excess of the purchase price over the identifiable net assets of $509,831 to goodwill.

NOTE 6 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, the Company issued separate Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) having a total principal amount of $1,529,455 to certain accredited holders. Interest ranged from 1% to 8% per month, and the note holders, at their sole discretion and election, were allowed to convert any part or all of the then outstanding principal and/or interest on these Notes into shares of common stock of the Company at a fixed price per share of $1.00. As of March 31, 2019, all holders of the Notes converted the principal portion of their Notes to 1,529,455 shares of the Company’s common stock and accrued interest of $75,501, of which 54,995 shares with fair value of $54,995 had not been issued as of March 31, 2019 and were reflected in “Common stock to be issued” in the consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

A portion of the Notes were issued when the market price of the Company’s common stock was in excess of the $1.00 per share conversion price creating a beneficial conversion feature associated with these Notes with an aggregate amount of $500,274 upon issuance dates. As such, the Company recorded $500,274 in additional paid-in capital and debt discount representing the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature at the date of the borrowing against the Notes.

Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as management has determined that their realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets of approximately $1,312,000 was not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to tax loss carry-forward.

Income Tax Provision in the Statements of Operations

A reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate as a percentage of income before income tax provision is as follows:

	For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019			For the reporting period ended March 31, 2018

Federal statutory income tax rate		21	%		34.0	%

Change in valuation allowance on net operating loss carry-forwards		(21	)%		(34.0	)

Effective income tax rate		0.0	%		0.0	%

The Company adopted accounting rules which address the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under these rules, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These accounting rules also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of March 31, 2019, no liability for unrealized tax benefits was required to be recorded.

NOTE 11 – BUSINESS SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REPORTING

The Company determined its operating segments in accordance with ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”).

Management has determined that the Company has one operating segment. The Company’s reporting segment reflects the manner in which its chief operating decision maker reviews results and allocates resources. The Company’s reporting segment meets the definition of an operating segment and does not include the aggregation of multiple operating segments.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Our Chief Executive Officer has concluded, based on his evaluation, that as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the end of the fiscal year to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the President and Secretary, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the 2013 version of the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on the results of this assessment, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2019 based on such criteria. Deficiencies existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses. The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (i) lack of a majority of independent members and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (ii) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management believes that the lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board results in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, which could result in a material misstatement in our financial statements in future periods.

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 under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. 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 prevented or detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Auditor’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In connection with our continued monitoring and maintenance of our controls procedures as part of the implementation of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we continue to review, test, and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fourth quarter and since the year ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Term of Office

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will consist of no less than three members. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

Certain Legal Proceedings

No director, nominee for director, or executive officer of the Company has appeared as a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.

Significant Employees and Consultants

As of March 31, 2019, the Company has no significant employees, other than its officers and directors acting in such capacity.

Audit Committee and Conflicts Of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board of Directors established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early business development stage company and has only four directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

There are no family relationships among our directors or officers. Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

Table of Contents

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based on our review of filings made on the SEC website, and the fact of us not receiving certain forms or written representations from certain reporting persons that they have complied with the relevant filing requirements, we believe that, during the year ended March 31, 2019, all of our executive officers, directors and greater-than-ten percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Stockholder Communications with the Board Of Directors

We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

Code of Ethics

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officers, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Employment Agreements

Pursuant to an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated May 1, 2019, by and between the Company and Dr. Raymond Urbanski, our Chief Executive Officer and a Director, we agreed to pay Dr. Urbanski and annual base salary of $275,000.

The Employment Agreement also provides that the Company shall reimburse Dr. Urbanski “for travel, lodging, entertainment and meal expenses incurred in connection with the performance of services for the Company, including, but not limited to, traveling from his home to Company offices.”

Table of Contents

Indemnification Agreements

We have an indemnification agreement with each of our officers and directors, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify each such person for claims against him that may arise in connection with the performance of his duties as an officer or director of the Company, as the case may be.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS , AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transactions

Except as described below, during the past fiscal year, there have been no transactions, whether directly or indirectly, between us and any of our respective officers, directors, beneficial owners of more than 5.0% of our outstanding Common Stock or their family members, that exceeded the lesser of $0.12 million or 1.0% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last completed fiscal year.

The Company agreed to reimburse Dr. Urbanski $1,500 for his attorneys’ fees in preparing the Employment Agreement.

During the period SBS Management LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Scott Stevens, who was appointed to the Company’s board of directors on April 15, 2019, made advances to the Company to cover certain operating expenses. These advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, with no formal terms of repayment. As of March 31, 2019, the amounts due SBS were $42,034 and are included in accounts payable on the accompanying balance sheet. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid SBS Management LLC $112,500 for management services. In addition, the Company reimbursed a SBS Management LLC $63,000 for rent expense which amount has been included in general and administrative expense for the period. There were no such amounts invoiced during the year ended March 31, 2018.

During the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. The Company granted 200,000 and 150,000 shares, respectively, of its common stock to Chris Bridges as payment for services rendered to the Company.

During the year ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 250,000, 225,000, and 200,000 shares of its common stock to SBS management LLC, JJ Southard, and John Brady, respectively. As payment for services rendered to the company.

We entered into an Indemnification Agreement, dated September 21, 2018, with JJ Southard, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Southard for claims against him that may arise in connection with the performance of his duties as Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.

Director Independence

Our Board is currently composed of four members. Our Common Stock is not currently listed for trading on a national securities exchange and, as such, we are not subject to any director independence standards. However, we have determined that none of our directors would qualify as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, our board of directors has not made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, though such subjective determination is required by the NASDAQ rules. Had our board of directors made these determinations, our board of directors would have reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

For the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the total fees charged to the Company for audit services, including quarterly reviews were $65,000 and $41,000, for tax services and other services were $0 and $0, respectively.
