PART I


ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


Since early March 2014 we have been operating as a bio-pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company




3






seeking to develop, manufacture, market and sell safe, high quality, medicinal products based on extracts from hemp. Our primary initial focus was on exploitation of the exclusive license we received from Canna-Pet, LLC, a developer of ingestible health products for pets made from hemp.  We have also taken initial steps related to development of over-the-counter, THC-free, hemp based products for human market for the prevention and alleviation of symptoms associated with inflammatory and auto-immune diseases.


Based upon recent regulatory activity related to imposition of restrictions and limitations on the sale and marketing of hemp-based health products for the veterinary market, on October 1, 2015, we elected to terminate our license agreement with Canna-Pet and cease all operations relating to sale of hemp-based products for animals.  Furthermore, based on advise from the Food and Drug Administration, as well as our regulatory counsel, we decided to revise our strategy and discontinue all efforts to develop and market hemp-based health products.  Accordingly, in the event we are able of raise sufficient capital, of which there can be no assurance, our intention is to now focus on the development of industrial hemp based consumer products that are not directly associated with health benefits.

 

History

 

We were incorporated in Nevada as Surf A Movie Solutions, Inc. on December 18, 2007 to engage in the business of the development sale and marketing of online video sales. We were not successful in our efforts and discontinued this line of business. Since that time and until August 8, 2014, we were a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). On August 30, 2013 we changed our name to Frac Water Systems, Inc. and on October 10, 2013 we determined to engage in the business of providing economically and environmentally sound solutions for the treatment and recycling of wastewater resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and production activities. As a result of our research of the business opportunities, on December 31, 2013 we determined not to move forward with this line of business.

 

In early March 2014 we determined to enter into the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical level products containing phytocannabinnoids, an abundant and pharmaceutically active component of industrial hemp, for the prevention and alleviation of various conditions and diseases. In connection therewith, on March 17, 2014 we changed our name to Cannabis Therapy Corporation and on March 24, 2014 changed our trading symbol on OTC Markets to “CTCO”.  On December 23, 2014, we changed our name to Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our trading symbol changed to “PKPH” on February 5, 2015.


All of our business operations are carried on through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp., a Colorado corporation.   Throughout this Report, unless otherwise noted or required by the context, references to “the Company,” “us,”  “we,” “our,” and similar terms refers to Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp.

 

We currently have authorized 350,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 325,000,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock.

 

On August 15, 2012 our board of directors and stockholders owning a majority of our outstanding common shares authorized a 50 for 1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. The forward split became effective on September 27, 2012. As a result of the forward split each outstanding share was split into 50 shares. On March 11, 2014 our board of directors authorized a 1.5 for 1 forward stock split of our common stock in the form of a dividend. In connection therewith, our shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 28, 2014 received an additional .5 share of our common stock for each share of our issued and outstanding common stock held by them on such date. The forward stock split became effective on April 1, 2014.

Our Business

 

Since March 2014 we have been engaged in the business of developing and marketing hemp based medicinal products intended for over-the-counter sale via distribution networks applicable to products classified as supplements and nutraceuticals. By using industrial hemp, an ultra-low THC content cannabis plant, we expected to be able to develop and market products containing cannabinoids under the same rules that apply to hemp-based energy drinks and other hemp based products. Hemp-based consumer products have been legal in the U.S. for several years when manufactured with imported, THC-free hemp paste. Recently, hemp cultivation was legalized in 11 states, including Colorado, and, on a limited basis, at the federal level as part of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the “2014 US Farm Bill”) passed in February 2014, which sets the agricultural product apart from marijuana. Industrial hemp has THC content below 0.3% compared to the 1-20% typically found in marijuana.


We are currently exploring the use of domestic hemp oils, which are rich in fatty acids, for use in different types of consumer products. Contingent upon our ability to raise sufficient capital, of which there can be no assurance, our plan is to establish a vertically integrated operation in Colorado.   The operation is expected to consist of three business units: (i) Plant Growth / Hemp Cultivation, (ii) Extraction, Product Development and Testing, and (iii) Sales and Marketing. Each unit will have unique infrastructure, licensing and staffing requirements, and are expected to offer separate revenue streams while supporting our product development and sales.

 

Plant Growth / Hemp Cultivation

 

Hemp is an industrial plant in the Cannabis family.  Fiber from the plant is used to make paper, clothing, rope and other products. Its oil is found in body-care products such as lotion, soap and cosmetics and in a variety of foods, including energy bars, waffles, milk-free cheese, veggie burgers and bread. Numerous uses exist, including hemp plant extracts that are used as a medicine, nutritional supplements and food sources. Beyond this, applications into textiles, building materials, bio-fuels, paper, bio-plastics, livestock feed/bedding as well as personal care products are readily available. Both hemp and marijuana are classified under the same biological category of Cannabis L Sativa. The basic difference between the two is that marijuana has significant amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (5–20%), a psychoactive ingredient; whereas hemp has virtually no THC (less than 0.3%). The 0.3% or less THC found in hemp is too low to provide the psychoactive effect or “high” that supports recreational usage.

 

In May 2014 we entered into an exclusive land lease and crop service agreement with Rocky Mountain Hemp Inc., a southeastern Colorado based hemp grower, to grow an initial hemp crop, and on May 6, 2014, obtained the mandatory Colorado Department of Agriculture hemp cultivation license. This initial crop was harvested in late September, 2014, just prior to the end of the fiscal year, and was used in part for product development purposes aimed at formulating future proprietary anti-inflammatory and related nutraceutical products for animals and humans.  


Extraction and Testing

 

In August 2014, we entered into a lease for laboratory and office space in Aurora, Colorado, with the intention of establishing a fully operational in-house laboratory.  We terminated this lease agreement as of November 30, 2015 because of lack of funds.  In the event we are able to raise sufficient funds, of which there can be no assurance, we may again take steps in the future to establish an in-house laboratory.  Our intention is that such a laboratory would serve multiple functions relating to oil extraction, separation and




5






characterization, as well as product development and in-house quality control testing.

 

 

Target Markets

 

In the event we are able to raise sufficient capital, of which there can be no assurance, our primary focus will be to develop hemp-based consumer products. The products are intended to be safe to use, and will be targeted to cosmetic and personal care markets.

 

Pending market analysis, one or two product types would be selected for targeted product development and product testing. Our management has extensive experience in conducting non-human based safety and efficacy testing, and will apply this expertise to support its product development and marketing. Our goal would be to develop several product lines, although no assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully develop one or more new product lines.

 

Strategic Partnerships and Alliances

 

We are actively pursuing additional collaborations and partnerships with clinicians, plant biotech companies, manufacturers and certified testing labs for third party product validation. When President Obama signed into law the 2014 US Farm Bill containing a stipulation that allows universities in the states that permit industrial hemp cultivation to conduct research into the plant, without jeopardizing their federal funding, it enabled a new era of academic cannabis research. At the University of Colorado, the Cannabis Genomic Research Initiative, is mapping the cannabis genome. We are exploring collaboration with the University of Colorado to support our hemp development efforts and to create new intellectual property. Other US research institutions are conducting cannabis research and clinical trials with cannabis-based medicines, and we intend to pursue strategic partnerships with these researchers.

 

Farm Lease and Service Agreement

 

On May 1, 2014, we entered into a Farm Lease and Service Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Rocky Mountain Hemp Inc. and Ryan Loflin (collectively, the “Landlord”) under which we leased two acres of farmland on which to grow industrial hemp for research and development purposes. Under the Lease Agreement, the Landlord served as our Cultivation Director and provided us with hemp cultivation expertise.  In connection with the growing of hemp, we obtained an Industrial Hemp License from the Colorado Department of Agriculture on May 16, 2014. The hemp crop was harvested in September 2014 and will be used for product and process research and development at our laboratory.  The Farm Lease ended with the crop harvest in September, 2014, with no further payments due, and was not renewed for the 2015 cultivation season.   

 

Canna-Pet License Agreement

 

On July 29, 2014, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp., we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Canna-Pet, LLC, (“Licensor”) a Washington limited liability corporation, which owns the brand name “Canna-Pet” and certain related intellectual property including, but not limited to, trademarks and copyrights, formulations, recipes, production processes and systems, websites, domain names, customer lists, supplier lists, trade secrets and know-how, and other related intellectual property (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”), used by Licensor in the conduct of its business related to the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp which are intended exclusively for consumption by pets. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensor granted to us a perpetual, exclusive, world-wide license to use the Licensed Intellectual Property in conjunction with our business and the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp as well as the right to




6






sublicense the Licensed Intellectual Property to third parties. The License Agreement gave us the right to produce and sell existing products utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property and to develop new products, jointly with Licensor or otherwise, based upon the Licensed Intellectual Property. The License Agreement provided us with an immediate revenue source and access to Licensor’s customer base. The License Agreement specified that during the term of the license, all intellectual property rights in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property remain the exclusive property of Licensor.


In consideration of the grant of the license, we agreed to pay Licensor license fees in the form of royalty payments calculated on the basis of gross proceeds received by us from sales of products manufactured, marketed or sold by us utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property or any subsequently developed intellectual property which is jointly owned by us and Licensor.


We conducted business operations under the terms of the License Agreement from July 29, 2014 through September 30, 2015.  During that period, we produced and sold various hemp-based products for pets using the Licensed Intellectual Property, and made required royalty payments to the Licensor. All revenues received by the Company for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015 were from operations pursuant to the License Agreement.    


Subsequent Event


On October 1, 2015, subsequent to end of the fiscal year, we elected to terminate the License Agreement with Canna-Pet and cease all operations relating to the production and sale of hemp-based health products for pets.  This decision was based upon analysis of market information we accumulated through our sales and marketing activities in the veterinary market, as well as recent regulatory activity related to imposition of restrictions and limitations on the sale and marketing of hemp-based health products for pets.    

 

Our Business Strategy

 

In the event we are able to raise sufficient capital, of which there can be no assurance, our business strategy is to develop and market hemp-based consumer products. The products are intended to be safe to use, and will be targeted to cosmetic and personal care markets. We intend to do so by employing rigorous manufacturing processes and quality controls. No assurance can be given that we will be successful in this endeavor.

 

Government Regulation

 

Hemp

 

For the first time since 1937, industrial hemp has been decriminalized at the federal level and can be grown legally in the United States, but only on a limited basis. A landmark provision in the 2014 US Farm Bill recognizes hemp as distinct from its genetic cousin, marijuana. Federal law now exempts industrial hemp from U.S. drug laws in order to allow for crop research by universities, colleges and state agriculture departments. The federal law allows for agricultural pilot programs for industrial hemp in states that permit the growth or cultivation of hemp.

  

Nutraceuticals

 

Nutraceutical, a word that combines the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical” are foods or food products that provide health and medical benefits, including the prevention and treatment of disease. Such products range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and specific diets to genetically engineered foods, herbal products and processed foods. Nutraceutical foods are not subject to the same testing and regulation as




7






pharmaceutical drugs. The use of nutraceutical as an attempt to accomplish desirable therapeutic outcomes with reduced side effects when compared with other therapeutic agents has met with significant public acceptance and monetary success.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We do not presently own any intellectual property but expect to develop intellectual property in the course of our development and commercialization of hemp based health products.

 

Research and Development

 

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, we incurred research and development expenses to cultivate and harvest a hemp crop.   


Competition

 

The market for hemp based consumer products is rapidly evolving. Many of our competitors have and will have greater financial and human resources and longer operating histories then we do. We expect to be able to compete based on the safety and quality of our products.

 

Customers

 

As of the date of this Report (i.e. the end of our fiscal year on September 30, 2015), our customers consisted primarily of on-line purchasers of our Canna-Pet products.  However, on October 1, 2015, subsequent to the end of our fiscal year, we terminated the Canna-Pet License Agreement and ceased all operations relating to the production and sale of hemp-based products from pets.   


Employees

 

As of the date of this Report (i.e. the end of our fiscal year on September 30, 2015), we have 4 employees including our two executive officers and a customer service representative paid on an hourly basis.

 

Markets

 

Hemp

 

There is no official estimate of the value of U.S. sales of hemp-based products. According to the Congressional Research Service there are over 25,000 products on the global market that are derived from hemp. The overall US nutrition market was estimated to $137.4 billion in 2012, with supplements accounting for $32.4 billion (Nutrition Business Journal).

 

Nutraceuticals

 

The total global nutraceuticals market reached $142.1 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach $204.8 billion by 2017, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 6.3%, spurred primarily by dietary supplements (Nutraceuticals Product Market: Global Market Size, Segment And Country Analysis And Forecasts (2007-2017); Transparency Market Research). Rising health concerns, the growth of key demographics and growing consumer desire to lead a healthy life and avoid dependence on synthetic drugs are identified trends supporting market growth. The nutraceutical ingredient market is forecast to reach $33.6 billion by 2018 (Nutraceutical Ingredients Market - Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth And Forecast 2007 – 2017; Transparency Market Research). According to the Nutrition Business




8






Journal, $5.5 billion was spent on Herbs/Botanicals in 2012.  This is an emerging market sector with a range of stakeholders including raw material suppliers, processors, product manufacturers and end-use consumers. Nutraceutical cannabinoids are only just beginning to be introduced in product formulations and represent an untapped market segment.


Animal Health

 

According to a State of the American Pet Survey, one of the greatest challenges of pet ownership is maintaining pets’ health. 41% of pet owners have considered or tried various alternative therapies, including nutritional supplements (29%), herbal remedies (7%) and homeopathy (4%). According to Packaged Facts, the Pet Supplies market, including supplements, totaled $14 billion in 2013.



ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS


Not Applicable


AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. WE FACE A VARIETY OF RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL RESULTS AND MANY OF THOSE RISKS ARE DRIVEN BY FACTORS THAT WE CANNOT CONTROL OR PREDICT. BEFORE INVESTING IN OUR SECURITIES YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS, TOGETHER WITH THE FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WOULD LIKELY DECLINE AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT. ONLY THOSE INVESTORS WHO CAN BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD CONSIDER AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES.

 

THIS REPORT CONTAINS CERTAIN STATEMENTS RELATING TO FUTURE EVENTS OR THE FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF OUR COMPANY. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT SUCH STATEMENTS ARE ONLY PREDICTIONS AND INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES, AND THAT ACTUAL EVENTS OR RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY. IN EVALUATING SUCH STATEMENTS, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD SPECIFICALLY CONSIDER THE VARIOUS FACTORS IDENTIFIED IN THIS REPORT, INCLUDING THE MATTERS SET FORTH BELOW, WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

 

If any of the following or other risks materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected which, in turn, could adversely impact the value of our common stock. In such a case, investors in our common stock could lose all or part of their investment.

 

Prospective investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable for them in light of the information contained in this Report and the financial resources available to them. The risks described below do not purport to be all the risks to which the Company or the Company could be exposed. This section is a summary of certain risks and is not set out in any particular order of priority. They are the risks that we presently believe are material to the operations of the Company. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or which we presently deem immaterial may also impair the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

General Risks

 

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects. We may never attain profitability.

 

In March 2014 we determined to enter the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling pharmaceutical level products containing phytocannabinoids, a component of industrial hemp, for the prevention and/or treatment of various conditions and diseases including, but not limited to, inflammatory and anti-immune diseases. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made. Our operations are therefore subject to all of the risks inherent in light of the expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of any new business, the development of a product, as well as those risks that are specific to our business in particular. There are no assurances that we can successfully address these challenges. If we are unsuccessful, we and our business, financial condition and operating results will be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

Given our limited operating history, management has little basis on which to forecast future demand for our products and out anticipated revenues. Our anticipated and future expense levels are based largely on estimates of planned operations and future revenues rather than experience. It is difficult to accurately forecast future revenues because our only revenues to date have been from the Canna-Pet business, which we elected to terminate as of October 1, 2015, subsequent to the fiscal year end.

 

We have a history of losses and we may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future.

 

We have incurred losses in each fiscal year since our incorporation in 2007. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase in the foreseeable future as we continue to invest to grow our business, acquire customers and expand our facilities and employee base. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in generating sufficient revenues to offset these higher expenses. If we are unable to do so, we and our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We will require additional working capital in order to continue operations and we may not be able to secure the necessary additional financing.

 

During the current fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, we raised $1,040,000 from sales of our common stock.  No additional funds were raised during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.  We will require additional working capital in order to continue our operations and implement our business plan.   We cannot be sure that this additional financing, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit our operating flexibility with respect to business matters. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, the percentage ownership of our existing shareholders will be reduced, our shareholders may experience additional dilution in net book value, and such equity securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our existing shareholders. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, we will be unable to develop or enhance our products and services, take advantage of future opportunities, repay debt obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.




10






 

Our historical financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that included an explanatory paragraph referring to our recurring net losses and accumulated deficit and expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional equity financing or other capital, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce expenditures, and, ultimately, to generate revenue. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. However, if adequate funds are not available to us when we need it, and we are unable to commercialize our products giving us access to additional cash resources, we will be required to curtail our operations which would, in turn, further raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our products may not be accepted in the market, which would have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

 

We cannot be certain that the future products we may develop or market will achieve or maintain market acceptance. Market acceptance of our products depends on many factors, including the safety and efficacy of our products and public perception concerning hemp based products.

 

Business Risks

 

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment, and if we are unable to compete with our competitors, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes all other companies that are in the business of developing, manufacturing or selling supplement, nutraceutical and other consumer products, including hemp based health care products, for personal use or consumption. This highly competitive environment could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

 

Our failure to manage growth, diversification and changes to our business could harm our business.

 

We expect our company to experience growth in connection with the development and sale of our products. Our failure to successfully manage and monetize any growth, and to successfully diversify our business in the future could harm the success and longevity of our company.

 

We depend on key personnel to operate our business, and if we are unable to retain, attract and integrate qualified personnel, our ability to develop and successfully grow our business could be harmed.

 

We believe that our future success is highly dependent on the continued services of our key officers, employees, and Board members as well as our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and experienced technical personnel. The loss of their services could have a detrimental effect on our operations. The departure of Soren Mogelsvang, our President and CEO, or any major change in our Board or management could adversely affect our operations.

 

Government regulation of cannabis is constantly evolving, and unfavorable developments could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

 

Any changes in laws or regulations relating to cannabis and hemp could adversely affect our business,




11






results of operations and our business prospects.

 

We face competition from entities in our industry with substantially more capital, greater name recognition, more employees, greater resources, and longer operating histories than we do.

 

We have a limited operating history in our industry. Many of our competitors have greater human and financial resources, name recognition and operating histories than we do which potentially puts us at a competitive disadvantage.

 

Third Party Risks

 

We presently rely on third parties to provide cultivation, research and testing services necessary for the operation of our business, the loss of which service providers would have a material adverse effect on our expected operating results.

 

We are presently dependent on third party service providers to operate our business including, but not limited to, Rocky Mountain Hemp, Inc. The loss of service providers would not have an adverse effect on our operations and operating results.

 

Investment Risks

 

We may be unable to raise enough capital through sales of our equity and debt securities to implement our business plan.

 

We will be largely dependent on capital raised through sales of our equity and debt securities to implement our business plan and support our operations. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the working capital as needed on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we are unable to raise capital as needed, we will be unable to continue operations or to implement our business plan, and will be required to cease our operations entirely.

 

 

You may experience dilution of your ownership interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock.

 

Any future issuance of our equity or equity-backed securities may dilute then-current stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities, because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. As described above, we may need to raise additional capital through public or private offerings of our common or preferred stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our common or preferred stock. We may also issue such securities in connection with hiring or retaining employees and consultants (including stock options issued under our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan), as payment to providers of goods and services, in connection with future acquisitions or for other business purposes. Our Board may at any time authorize the issuance of additional common or preferred stock without common stockholder approval, subject only to the total number of authorized common and preferred shares set forth in our articles of incorporation. The terms of equity securities issued by us in future transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include dividend and/or liquidation preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect. Also, the future issuance of any such additional shares of common or preferred stock or other securities may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that any such future issuances will not be at a price (or exercise prices) below the price at which shares of our common stock are then traded.




12






 

The ability of our Board to issue additional stock may prevent or make more difficult certain transactions, including a sale or merger of the Company.

 

We currently have authorized 350,000,000 shares of capital stock consisting of (i) 325,000,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock. As a result, our Board is authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock with powers, rights and preferences designated by it. See “Preferred Stock” in the section of this Report titled “Description of Securities.” Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to create voting impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control of the Company. The ability of the Board to issue such additional shares of Preferred Stock, with rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of the Company by tender offer or other means. Such issuances could therefore deprive stockholders of benefits that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price for their shares in a tender offer or the temporary increase in market price that such an attempt could cause. Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board could make it more difficult to remove incumbent managers and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to stockholders generally.

 

We have a concentration of stock ownership and control, which may have the effect of delaying, preventing, or deterring certain corporate actions and may lead to a sudden change in our stock price.

 

Our common stock ownership is highly concentrated. As of December 31, 2015 our officers and directors beneficially own 37,350,000 shares, or approximately 45.3% of our total outstanding common stock. Their interests may differ significantly from your interests. As a result of the concentrated ownership of our stock, a relatively small number of stockholders, acting together, will be able to control all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions. In addition, because our stock is so thinly traded, the sale by any of our large stockholders of a significant portion of that stockholder’s holdings could cause a sharp decline in the market price of our common stock.


Restrictions on the use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies could affect your ability to resale our shares.

 

Historically, the SEC has taken the position that Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by companies that are, or previously were, shell companies like us, to their promoters or affiliates despite technical compliance with the requirements of Rule 144. The SEC has codified and expanded this position in its amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 which amendments apply to securities acquired both before and after that date, by prohibiting the use of Rule 144 for resale of securities issued by shell companies (other than business transaction related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company unless all of the following conditions are met:


·

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

·

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

·

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

·

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.




13






 

As such, due to the fact that we were a shell company until August 13, 2014 (the date on which we filed Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting our change in status as an entity that is not a shell company), sales of our shares in reliance upon Rule 144 were prohibited until August 13, 2015. In the event we cease operations and are again deemed to be a shell company, the foregoing restrictions would again become applicable to resales of our shares in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.

 

There currently is a limited public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.

 

There is currently a limited public market for shares of our common stock and an active market may never develop. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets. The OTC Markets is a thinly traded market and lacks the liquidity of certain other public markets with which some investors may have more experience. We may not ever be able to satisfy the listing requirements for our common stock to be listed on a national securities exchange, which are often a more widely-traded and liquid market. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market includes the following:

 

·

our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient;

·

the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low;

·

our net income from operations may be too low;

·

our common stock may not be sufficiently widely held;

·

we may not be able to secure market makers for our common stock; and

·

we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by the several exchanges and markets to have our common stock listed.


Should we fail to satisfy the initial listing standards of the national exchanges, or our common stock is otherwise rejected for listing and remains listed on the OTC Markets or suspended from the OTC Markets, the trading price of our common stock could suffer and the trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock price may be subject to increased volatility.

 

Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in the securities is limited, which makes transactions in the stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in the stock.

 

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:


·

that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and

·

the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.





14






The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth:

 

·

the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and

·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. 


Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of common stock and cause a decline in the market value of stock.

 

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

 

If securities analysts do not initiate coverage or continue to cover our common stock or publish unfavorable research or reports about our business, this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.

 

The trading market for our common stock will depend on the research and reports that securities analysts publish about our business and the Company. It is often more difficult to obtain analyst coverage for companies whose securities are traded on the OTC Markets. We do not have any control over securities analysts. There is no guarantee that securities analysts will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect our market price. If we are covered by securities analysts, and our stock is the subject of an unfavorable report, our stock price and trading volume would likely decline. If one or more of these analysis ceases to cover the Company or fails to publish regular reports on the Company, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, and investors may lose the entire amount of their investment.

 

To date, cash dividends have not been declared or paid on our common stock, and we do not anticipate such a declaration or payment for the foreseeable future. We expect to use future earnings, if any, to fund business growth. Therefore, stockholders will not receive any funds absent a sale of their shares of common stock, subject to the limitation outlined herein. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates. We cannot assure stockholders of a positive return on their investment when they sell their shares, nor can we assure that stockholders will not lose the entire amount of their investment.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.


SPECIAL NOTE OF CAUTION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated as Surf A Movie Solutions, Inc. in Nevada on December 18, 2007, to engage in the business of the development, sales and marketing of online video stores. We were not successful in our efforts and have ceased this line of business.

 

On October 10, 2013, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Produced Water Solutions, Inc., a Colorado corporation, in the business of providing economically and environmentally sound solutions for the treatment and recycling of wastewater resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and production activities.  As a result of our research of the business opportunities, on December 31, 2013 we determined not to move forward with this line of business.

 

In early March 2014 we entered into the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical level products containing phytocannabinoids, an abundant and pharmaceutically active component of industrial hemp, for the prevention and alleviation of various conditions and diseases. In connection therewith, on March 17, 2014 we changed our name to Cannabis Therapy Corporation.   On December 23, 2014, we changed our name to Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  All of our business operations are carried on through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp., a Colorado corporation.  


On July 29, 2014, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp., we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Canna-Pet, LLC, (“Licensor”) a Washington limited liability




17






corporation, which owns the brand name “Canna-Pet” and certain related intellectual property including, but not limited to, trademarks and copyrights, formulations, recipes, production processes and systems, websites, domain names, customer lists, supplier lists, trade secrets and know-how, and other related intellectual property (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”), used by Licensor in the conduct of its business related to the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp which are intended exclusively for consumption by pets. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensor granted to us a perpetual, exclusive, world-wide license to use the Licensed Intellectual Property in conjunction with our business and the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp as well as the right to sublicense the Licensed Intellectual Property to third parties. The License Agreement gives us the right to produce and sell existing products utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property and to develop new products, jointly with Licensor or otherwise, based upon the Licensed Intellectual Property. The License Agreement provided us with an immediate revenue source and access to Licensor’s customer base. During the term of the license, all intellectual property rights in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property remain the exclusive property of Licensor.

 

In consideration of the grant of the license, we have agreed to pay Licensor license fees in the form of royalty payments calculated on the basis of gross proceeds received by us from sales of products manufactured, marketed or sold by us utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property or any subsequently developed intellectual property which is jointly owned by us and Licensor.

 

We began selling Canna-Pet products in October 2014.


Based upon recent regulatory activity related to imposition of restrictions and limitations on the sale of hemp-based health products for pets, we elected to terminate our license agreement with Canna-Pet effective as of October 1, 2015, and to cease all operations relating to sale of hemp-based products for pets.


On October 12, 2015, we entered into an agreement for the termination (“Termination Agreement”) of the Canna-Pet License Agreement, effectively selling the discontinued operations. The Termination Agreement contained the following provisions:


·

Termination of License. The parties agreed to terminate the Canna-Pet License Agreement effective as of October 1, 2015.  This termination was made by mutual agreement of the parties pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the License Agreement.


·

Return of Licensed Intellectual Property.  We agreed to return all Licensed Intellectual Property to the Licensor, Canna-Pet, LLC, and our right to use all, or any portion, of the Licensed Intellectual Property ceased effective as of October 1, 2015.  Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, the Licensed Intellectual Property included the brand name “Canna-Pet” and certain related intellectual property, including, but not limited, trademarks and copyrights, formulations, recipes, production processes and systems, websites, domain names, customer lists, supplier lists trade secrets and know-how, and other related intellectual property.  


·

Return of Other Property.  In addition to return of the Licensed Intellectual Property, we agreed to transfer to Licensor all product inventory, Colorado hemp with permits and authorization, all production/fulfillment contracts, all e-commerce accounts and processing, all NDA and Research Agreements and any and all other property in our possession which was used by us in the conduct of our business related to production and sale of medical cannabis products for pets made from hemp and low-THC cannabis plants.


·

Office Space, Equipment and Employees.  In conjunction with the execution of the Termination Agreement, we granted the Licensor the right to use our office space, for the three-month period




18






from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, on a rent-free basis.


·

Consideration.  As consideration for the cancellation of the Canna-Pet License Agreement and the return of other property, as described above, the Licensor agreed to waive payment by us and to release us from liability for payment of any and all unpaid royalties, invoices and other amounts which were otherwise currently due and payable by us to Licensor for sales of Canna-Pet products for all periods through and including September 30, 2015.


·

Collections. On October 15, 2015, we forwarded to Licensor all payments received by us after September 30, 2015 (net of amounts received by us for taxes, duties, governmental charges, freight or shipping charges, and the like) for Canna-Pet products sold on or after October 1, 2015.


In accordance with US GAAP, the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately on our Balance Sheet at September 30, 2015, under the captions “Assets of discontinued operations held for sale” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale,” respectively, and consist of the following:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.


Recent Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective may have an impact on our results of operations and financial position. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) Update 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Sub Topic 205-40) issued August 27, 2014 defines management’s responsibility to evaluate




19






whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The additional disclosure requirement is effective after December 15, 2016 and will be evaluated as to impact and implemented accordingly.  


In addition, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet assessed the impact, if any, of adopting this standard.


Results of Operations


Results of Operation for the Year Ended September 30, 2015 as Compared to the Year Ended September 30, 2014


Our Canna-Pet business segment began operations in October 2014.  As a result of recent regulatory activity related to imposition of restrictions and limitations on the sale of hemp-based health products for pets, on October 1, 2015, we elected to terminate our license agreement with Canna-Pet and to cease all operations relating to sale of hemp-based products for pets.


For the year ended September 30, 2015 we had revenue of $1,039,393, all of which was generated by our discontinued operation.  Revenue represents the sale of products and related shipping fees.   Our cost of revenue, which is our cost of products sold for that period was $305,924 and our gross profit was $734,099 which was 70.6%.  General and administrative expenses for the discontinued operation were $700,160, the major components of which were $139,655 in royalty expense, $196,493 in personnel costs, $118,496 in shipping costs, $46,255 in public relations, $56,375 in merchant and credit card fees, $33,647 consulting fees, $23,791 in rent expense, and $13,051 in research and development expenses. The balance of $72,397 was for routine operating costs.


There were no operations of our discontinued business in 2014.


General and administrative expenses from continuing corporate operations for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:

Equity based compensation results from the amortization of previously issued stock option to officers and directors.  Seven million four hundred sixteen thousand (7,416,000) options are outstanding, and vest over varying periods.  The options are exercisable through 2024 at prices ranging from $0.0067 to $0.20.  Four million three hundred ninety-one thousand (4,391,000) of the outstanding options are currently exercisable. In addition, we issued 200,000 shares of our common stock during the year ended September 30, 2015 to a nonemployee for services.  The shares were valued $36,000.  These are non-cash charges.  The decrease in expense results from fewer shares vesting in the year ended September 30, 2015.


Investor and public relations costs were paid primarily to three firms in order for the public and industry to




20






be aware of our business direction.  In the year ended September 30, 2015 we intentional reduced our spending on investor relations.  We do not anticipate that these cost will be as high in future periods.


Legal and professional fees were incurred in connection with the changes in our business and the costs of being a public company.  The increase in the expense results from incurring legal advice as it related to regulatory questions dealing with our products.  We anticipate that legal and professional fees will decrease substantially.


Personnel costs for the year ended September 30, 2015 include only those cost related to our continuing business.  The cost related to our discontinued operations were approximately $196,000.  We currently have 1 full time employee and do not anticipate hiring in the near future.


We had operating losses of $2,338,878 and $3,086,837, for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  


The income from discontinued operations presented in the statements of operations consist of the following for the year ended September 30, 2015:

We had net losses of $2,308,040 and $3,758,815, for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP contemplate a company’s continuation as a going concern. We have incurred net losses since inception. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $6,167,096 as of September 30, 2015. This condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, we are evaluating raising additional capital through the sale of equity securities, through an offering of debt securities or through borrowings from financial institutions or individuals. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.


We discontinued our Canna-Pet operation which was our source of continuing cash flow.  We are exploring business opportunities using hemp based products.


We expect that we will need to raise funds in order to effectuate our business plan. We may seek additional investors to purchase our stock to provide us with working capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us at all or on acceptable terms. We may seek to raise the required capital by other means. We may have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since we have no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, our inability to raise funds will have a severe negative impact on our ability to remain a viable company.

 

At September 30, 2015, cash was $201,656.

Net cash used in operating activities was $247,589 for the year ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net cash used of $933,475 for the year ended September 30, 2014. The decrease in net cash used in operations was primarily due to our change in operating plans.  In the year ended September 30, 2015 we began selling Canna-Pet products.  We discontinued that operation on October 1, 2015.  Accordingly, we will not have any future cash flow from that operation.


During the year ended September 30, 2015 we used $2,186 for the acquisition of equipment.  During the year ended September 30, 2015 we used $35,000 to development of a website.


During the year ended September 30, 2015 we received no funding from investment activities.   During the year ended September 30, 2014 we received $1,040,000 in proceeds from sales of our common stock and repurchased $125,000 of stock back from investors.  We had $500,000 in proceeds from sales of our convertible notes.


There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any financing or enter into any form of credit arrangement in the future. Although we may be offered such financing, the terms may not be acceptable to us. If we are not able to secure financing or it is offered on unacceptable terms, then our business plan may have to be modified or curtailed or certain aspects terminated. There is no assurance that even with financing we will be able to achieve our goals.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure




22






controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.

 

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.

 

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the Evaluation Date.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of the Evaluation Date and Management has identified the following deficiencies that, when aggregated, are viewed as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of that date:


We do not have an audit committee: While we are not currently obligated to have an audit committee, including a member who is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K, under applicable regulations or listing standards; however, it is management’s view that such a committee is an important internal control over financial reporting, the lack of which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of internal controls and procedures.





23






We do not have a majority of independent directors on our board of directors, which may result in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.


Inadequate Segregation of Duties: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.


Due to the size and lack of resources of our Company we have not fully developed formal accounting policies and procedures.


We have not properly complied with all aspects of the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013.


However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and the lack of a majority of independent directors on our board of directors 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.

 

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has discussed the possible material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this possible material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our 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


There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

(“LifeApps”). Mr. Tinter is also a Director of Barfresh and LifeApps.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings


None 


Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires that our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a class of our equity securities that are registered under the Exchange Act to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes of ownership of such registered securities.

 




27






To our knowledge, based solely on a review of such materials as are required by the SEC, none of our officers, directors or beneficial holders of more than 10% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock failed to timely file with the SEC any form or report required to be so filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.


Code of Ethics

 

In December 2013, we adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, persons performing similar functions as well as to our directors and employees. A copy of our Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, which 10-K report was filed on December 27, 2013. A will be provided to any person requesting same without charge. To request a copy of our Code of Ethics please make written request to our President Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 700 N. Colorado Blvd., #734, Denver, CO 80206.

 

Board Committees

 

Our Board has 4 members, Soren Mogelsvang, Cohava Gelber, Guy Yachin and Vered Caplan. Our Board collectively undertakes our risk oversight function. This review of our risk tolerances includes, but is not limited to, financial, legal and operational risks and other risks concerning our reputation and ethical standards.

 

We are a small, development stage company which has yet to achieve operating revenues. We believe that our present management structure is appropriate for a company of our size and state of development.

 

Our Board may designate from among its members an executive committee, audit committee and one or more other committees. No such committees presently exist, due to the fact that we presently have only four directors. Accordingly, we do not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert. We are presently not required to have an audit committee financial expert and do not believe we otherwise need one at this time. Given our size, we do not have a nominating committee or compensation committee, or committees performing similar functions, or a diversity policy. Our Board monitors and assesses the need for and qualifications of additional directors. We may adopt a diversity policy in the future in connection with our anticipated growth. Our entire board presently serves the functions of an audit committee, nominating committee and compensation committee. We have not implemented procedures by which our security holders may recommend board nominees to us but expect to do so in the future, when and if we engage in material business operations.

 

Board Compensation

 

On September 1, 2014, our Board authorized the following compensation to be paid to our directors:

 

·

Annual fee of $12,000 per year payable in equal quarterly installments of $3,000 in arrears on each of September 1, December 1, March 1 and June 1, with the initial payment for the quarter September 1, 2014 through November 30, 2014, being due on December 1, 2014.

·

Expense reimbursement for in person attendance at board meetings, as applicable.

 

In connection with our March 2014 entry into our present line of business and related management changes, we discontinued the board compensation arrangement which had been approved by prior management. In addition, all options issued to prior management in December, 2013, were returned to us for cancellation. In connection with the March 2014 appointments to our board of directors, the new directors and/or their assigns received shares of our common stock or stock options. Iris Yachin, the wife and an assignee of Guy




28






Yachin, received 14,940,000 shares of our common stock. Aaron Gelber, the husband and an assignee of Cohava Gelber, received 14,940,000 shares of our common stock. Vered Caplan received 2,916,000 non-qualified, ten year, stock options, under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, vesting upon issuance, with an exercise price of $0.00667 per share. Soren Mogelsvang, an officer and a director, received 3,204,000 shares of our common stock.

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.” Our Board has determined that none of our directors is “independent” within the definition of independence provided in the Marketplace Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

 

Equity Incentive Plans

 

2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

 

On October 15, 2013, our Board of Directors approved our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”). A total of 7,500,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance in connection with awards granted under the 2013 Plan. A maximum of 2,500,000 shares could be granted during the first twelve months of the 2013 Plan. If an award granted under the 2013 Plan expired, terminated, was unexercised or was forfeited, or if any shares were surrendered to us in connection with an award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares would become available for further awards under the 2013 Plan. The number of shares of common stock subject to the 2013 Plan and the number of shares and terms of any incentive award were subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

 

The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, administered the 2013 Plan and the grants made thereunder. Subject to the terms of the 2013 Plan, the Board had complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2013 Plan. Any officer or other employee of ours or our affiliates, or an individual that we or our affiliates had engaged to become an officer or employee, or a consultant or advisor who provided services to us or our affiliates, including a non-employee director of the Board, was eligible to receive awards under the 2013 Plan.

 

The 2013 Plan authorized the grant to eligible recipients of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as described below:


·

Options granted under the 2013 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of our common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant unless agreed to otherwise at the time of the grant. Such awards may include vesting requirements.

·

Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by our compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.

·

The Board may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the




29






award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.

·

Stock awards are permissible. The Board will establish the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.

·

SARs, entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

 

The 2013 Plan did not receive stockholder approval. Any awards of incentive stock options prior to such stockholder approval were conditioned on such approval and if such approval was not obtained by October 15, 2014, which was 12 months after the date of Board approval, such options were to be treated as non-incentive options.

 

Our Board of Directors or if then in place, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, could amend, suspend or terminate the 2013 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change could be made by our Board of Directors that increased the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2013 Plan or reduced the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards. Unless sooner terminated, the 2013 Plan was to terminate ten years after the date on which it was adopted.

  

On May 22, 2014, our Board of Directors terminated our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) and approved our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The termination of the 2013 Plan had no effect on the outstanding options previously issued under the 2013 Plan. At the time of termination of the 2013 Plan and presently, there were and are 3,291,000 outstanding nonstatutory options which were issued under the 2013 Plan, all of which have a ten year term and an exercise price of $0.00667 per share.

 

2014 Equity Incentive Plan

 

A total of 11,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance in connection with awards which may be granted under the 2014 Plan. If an award granted under the 2014 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with an award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2014 Plan. Shares issued under the 2014 Plan through the settlement, assumption or substitution of outstanding awards or obligations to grant future awards as a condition of acquiring another entity are not expected to reduce the maximum number of shares available under the 2014 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock subject to the 2014 Plan and the number of shares and terms of any award are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, liquidation, business combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction.

 

The compensation committee of the Board, or the Board in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2014 Plan and grants made thereunder. Subject to the terms of the 2014 Plan, the compensation committee has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms of awards under the 2014 Plan. Any officer or other employee of ours or our affiliates, or an individual that we or our affiliate has engaged to become an officer or employee, or a consultant or advisor who provides services to us or our affiliates, including a non-employee director of the Board, is eligible to receive awards under the 2014 Plan.

 

The 2014 Plan authorizes the grant to eligible recipients of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and stock appreciation rights




30






(“SARs”) as described below:


·

Options granted under the 2014 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of our common stock covered by an option cannot be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Such awards may include vesting requirements.

·

Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by our compensation committee, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.

·

The compensation committee may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.

·

Stock awards are permissible. The compensation committee will establish the number of shares of common stock to be awarded and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.

·

SARs entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

 

The 2014 Plan has yet to receive stockholder approval. Any awards of incentive stock options prior to such stockholder approval shall be conditioned on such approval and if such approval is not obtained by May 22, 2015, which is 12 months after the date of Board approval, such options shall be treated as non-incentive options.


Our Board of Directors or if then in place, the compensation committee of our Board of Directors, may amend, suspend or terminate the 2014 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made by our Board of Directors that increases the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan (without stockholder approval) or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards. Unless sooner terminated, the 2014 Plan terminates ten years after the date on which it was adopted.

 

In connection with the approval of the 2014 Plan on May 22, 2014, our Board of Directors granted 4,000,000 non-statutory stock options (the “Mogelsvang Options”) under the 2014 Plan with an exercise price of $0.20 per share to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Soren Mogelsvang, and granted 500,000 non-statutory stock options (the “Tinter Options”) under the 2014 Plan with an exercise price of $0.20 per share to our Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, Arnold Tinter. The Mogelsvang Options vest ratably over a four year period at the rate of 250,000 options per quarter with the initial vesting date being August 22, 2014. 100,000 of the Tinter Options vest on each of November 22, 2014 and May 22, 2015 and the balance of the Tinter Options vest at the rate of 25,000 per quarter thereafter.

 

All descriptions of the 2014 Plan and 2013 Plan herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text thereof. The 2014 Plan and 2013 Plan are referenced as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Charles Watson and Stuart Sundlun resigned as directors.

 

On March 10, 2014, in furtherance of our determination to enter into the business of manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical level products containing phytocannabinoids for the treatment of various conditions and diseases, Soren Mogelsvang, Cohava Gelber, Guy Yachin and Vered Caplan were appointed as directors of ours. Each director is to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified. On March 11, 2014 the board accepted the resignation of Nadine C. Smith as a director and the Chairman of the Company and as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President and thereafter appointed Soren Mogelsvang to the vacated Chief Executive Officer position. Ms. Smith’s resignation was not a result of any disagreements between us and Ms. Smith on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Effective May 1, 2014 Mr. Mogelsvang was appointed to the vacated President position. See “Management – Directors and Executive Officers” for information about our directors and executive officers.

Employment Agreements

 


On January 30, 2015, we entered into an employment agreement with Soren Mogelsvang regarding Mr. Mogelsvang’s employment with the Registrant as its President and Chief Executive Officer.  The Employment Agreement is for a three year period from February 1, 2015 through January 31, 2018.  Pursuant to the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mogelsvang is paid a base salary of $150,000 per year. The base salary may be increased to: (i) $185,000 per year at such time as budget and operational milestones of the Registrant are reached in the discretion of the Board of Directors; and (ii) $240,000 per year at such time as the Registrant’s cash flow, in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors can sustain such salary increase. In addition to the base salary, Mr. Mogelsvang is eligible to receive an annual discretionary performance bonus in an amount up to 50% of the base salary for his services rendered as the President and CEO; the amount of the performance bonus is at the discretion of the Registrant’s Board of Directors.

 

On October 15, 2013, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Arnold Tinter pursuant to which he serves as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary on an independent contractor basis. Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement upon 30 days advance notice. The Consulting Agreement has a term of 12 months which will be automatically renewed for an additional 12 month period unless terminated prior to the end of the initial term by either party. The services being provided by Mr. Tinter include, but are not limited to, the following:

The Consulting Agreement contains non-compete and non-disclosure covenants of Mr. Tinter and a mutual indemnification provision. It also contains a separate Confidentiality Agreement which contains confidentiality covenants of Mr. Tinter.

 

As a result of our diminished business activity following our departure from the water treatment and recycling business, effective February 12, 2014 we amended our October 15, 2013 Consulting Agreement with Arnold Tinter. The Tinter Consulting Agreement was amended to (i) provide for Mr. Tinter to receive a payment of $10,000 for the period from February 1, 2014 through the date of filing our December 31, 2013 Quarterly Report (February 18, 2014) and to thereafter be paid at the rate of $1,500 per month; and (ii) to cancel the 262,500 options previously granted to him under the Consulting Agreement. In connection with our March 2014 entry into our present line of business and the related management changes, we further revised Mr. Tinter’s compensation arrangement to restore his $60,000 base annual salary, payable $5,000 per month, effective March 1, 2014. Mr. Tinter received $10,000 for the month of February 2014.

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


Related Party Transactions

 

SEC rules require us to disclose any transaction or currently proposed transaction in which we are a participant and in which any related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest involving the lesser of $120,000 or one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets as of the end of last two completed fiscal years. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee for director, or holder of 5% or more of our common stock, or an immediate family member of any of those persons.

 

On October 10, 2013, we entered into a three year Employment Agreement with Nadine C. Smith, pursuant to which she served as our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. Her initial base annual salary thereunder was $120,000.  She was entitled to receive annual bonuses in amounts up to 100% of her base annual salary based upon achievement of budget and operational milestones as approved by our Board of Directors. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Smith purchased 30,000,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.00667 per share or an aggregate of $200,000. Ms. Smith was also entitled to receive stock options under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan at such times and in such amounts as determined by our Board of Directors.

 

On October 15, 2013, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Arnold Tinter, pursuant to which he served as our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary on an independent contractor basis. Either party may terminate the Consulting Agreement upon 30 days advance notice. The Consulting Agreement has a term of 12 months which will be automatically renewed for an additional 12 month period unless terminated prior to the end of the initial term by either party. In connection with the Consulting Agreement, we were paying Mr. Tinter at the annual rate of $60,000 payable in equal monthly installments. We also granted him 262,500 non-statutory stock options exercisable, upon vesting, at a price of $0.00667 per share.

 

In connection with the October 15, 2013 engagement of Stuart A. Sundlun as a Director, we sold 750,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Sundlun at a price of $0.00667 per share for gross proceeds of $5,000.

 

In connection with the October 15, 2013 engagement of Charles Watson as a Director, we issued and sold 3,000,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Watson at a price of $0.00667 per share for gross proceeds of $20,000.

 

Effective November 15, 2013 we converted $34,510 in debt owed to an assignee of a former officer and director into 1,479,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.02333 per share.

 

On December 20, 2013 we issued 375,000 non-statutory stock options under our 2013 Equity Incentive Plan to each of Charles Watson, Stuart Sundlun, and Nadine Smith with a term of ten years, an exercise




37






price of $0.13333 per share and a one year vesting period, the exercise of which was subject to the continuance of the director relationship.

 

As the result of the change in our business direction, on January 23, 2014 Charles Watson and Stuart Sundlun resigned as directors. In connection with the resignation of Charles Watson we repurchased the 3,000,000 shares of our common stock sold to him in connection with his appointment as a director (the “Watson Shares”) at his aggregate cost of $20,000 and also paid him an aggregate of $7,500 representing payments of annual directors’ fees, board meeting attendance fees and board meeting travel fees.

The Watson Shares and Sundlun Shares were cancelled and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares. In connection with the resignations of Messrs. Watson and Sundlun, we also cancelled the 375,000 stock options which had been issued to each of them on December 20, 2013.

 

As a result of our diminished business activity following our departure from the water treatment and recycling business, effective February 12, 2014 we amended our October 15, 2013 Consulting Agreement with Arnold Tinter. The Tinter Consulting Agreement was amended to (i) provide for Mr. Tinter to receive a payment of $10,000 for the period from February 1, 2014 through the date of filing our December 31, 2013 Quarterly Report (February 18, 2014) and to thereafter be paid at the rate of $1,500 per month; and (ii) to cancel the 262,500 options previously granted to him under the Consulting Agreement. In connection with our March 2014 entry into our present line of business and the related management changes, we further revised Mr. Tinter’s compensation arrangement to restore his $60,000 base annual salary, payable $5,000 per month, effective March 1, 2014. Mr. Tinter received $10,000 for the month of February 2014.

 

As a result of our diminished business activity following our departure from the water treatment and recycling business, effective February 1, 2014 we amended our October 10, 2013 Employment Agreement with Nadine Smith to (i) suspend our obligation to pay base annual salary of Ms. Smith for the period February 1, 2014 through March 31, 2014; and (ii) to cancel the 375,000 options previously granted to her in connection with her employment by us.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as of September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended September 30, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


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 financial statements, the Company has suffered net losses since inception and has accumulated a significant deficit. These factors 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.

To the Board of Directors

Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Aurora, Colorado


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary, (collectively, the “Company”) as of September 30, 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The accompanying 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 incurred recurring losses, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2015 and 2014



Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiary.


Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on December 18, 2007 as Surf A Movie Solutions Inc., which was previously engaged in the development, sales and marketing of online video stores. We decided to change our business objective and in connection therewith we first changed our name to Frac Water Systems, Inc. and explored the possibilities of providing economically and environmentally sound solutions for the treatment and recycling of wastewater resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and production activities.  On December 31, 2013, we determined not to move forward with that business model.


On March 14, 2014, we changed our name to Cannabis Technology Corp. The name change was made in connection with our entry into the business of manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical level products containing phytocannabinoids, an abundant and pharmaceutically active component of cannabis, for the treatment of various conditions and diseases.  On December 23, 2014, we changed our name again to Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  This name change was made to make our name more consistent with our business operations and plans relating to development, manufacturing and marketing of hemp-based nutraceutical and supplement products for the human and animal health markets.  During September, 2015 we decided to discontinue the marketing of animal supplements.  See Note 2 Discontinued operations.  We are currently evaluating other business opportunities in the hemp space.


Financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate a company’s continuation as a going concern. We have incurred net losses since inception. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of $6,167,095 as of September 30, 2015. This condition raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. In response to these conditions, we are evaluating raising additional capital through the sale of equity securities, through an offering of debt securities or through borrowings from financial institutions or individuals. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary Peak BioPharma Corp. (“BioPharma”).  All inter-company balances and transactions among the companies have been eliminated upon consolidation.


Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents.


Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash, and payables. The carrying values of these instruments approximate fair value because of the short term maturities of these instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC)” Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), provides a comprehensive framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures which are required about fair value measurements. Specifically, ASC 820 sets forth a definition of fair value and establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the inputs to valuation techniques, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable value inputs. ASC 820 defines the hierarchy as follows:

 

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 1 are highly liquid and actively traded instruments with quoted prices, such as equities listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, but are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The types of assets and liabilities in Level 2 are typically either comparable to actively traded securities or contracts, or priced with models using highly observable inputs.

 

Level 3 – Significant inputs to pricing that are unobservable as of the reporting date. The types of assets and liabilities included in Level 3 are those with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as complex and subjective models and forecasts used to determine the fair value of financial transmission rights.


Intangible asset

Intangible asset is our website and is being amortized over the expected useful life which we estimate to be three years.  Amortization expense charged to operations for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, were $11,894 and $4,861, respectively.


Long-lived assets

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of our long-lived assets may be impaired. An asset’s value may be impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset.


Our only longed lived asset is our website.  If impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.  Our estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by our long-lived asset are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in their impairment analyses may not be achieved. As of September 30, 2015, there was no asset impairment.


Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue from products sold when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is determinable and collection is reasonably assured.  Revenue represents the sale of products and related shipping fees.  


Revenue is included in income from operations of BioPharma’s discontinued Canna-Pet component,


Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes the cost of products sold and shipping costs attributable to the revenue.

Cost of revenue is included in income from operations of BioPharma’s discontinued Canna-Pet component.


Shipping Costs

Shipping costs of $116,287 are included in general and administrative expenses of BioPharma’s discontinued Canna-Pet component.


Expenses associated with exploring business opportunities

Through the period ended December 31, 2014, we were exploring opportunities related to solutions for the treatment and recycling of waste water resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and productions activities. We determined not to proceed in that industry. Costs included legal fees, fees associated with the assumption of certain notes and other payments under the Agreement, consulting fees, attending conferences, web development, and travel. These costs include a non-cash charge of $102,932 which is the accrued interest on debt assumed and $2,413 which is the fair value of options granted in connection with that business.


Equity Based Payments

Equity based payments are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The compensation cost is based upon fair value of the equity instrument at the date grant. The fair value has been estimated using the Black-Sholes option pricing model.  In addition, payments made to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 505, Equity-Based payments to Non-Employees.


Research and Development

Expenditures for research activities relating to product development and improvement are charged to expense as incurred. We incurred $13,051 and $30,000 in research and development expenses for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). 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 basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Any effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.


ASC 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in their financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under ASC 740, tax positions must initially be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions must initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts.


For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 we did not have any interest and penalties or any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.


Loss per Share

We calculate net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period, and diluted earnings per share is computed by including Common Stock equivalents outstanding for the

period in the denominator. We have not issued any potentially dilutive common shares. At September 30, 2015 and 2014 any equivalents would have been anti-dilutive as we had losses for the periods then ended.


Recent Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued that we adopt as of the specified effective date. We believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective may have an impact on our results of operations and financial position. ASU Update 2014-15 Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Sub Topic 205-40) issued August 27, 2014 by FASB defines management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. The additional disclosure requirement is effective after December 15, 2016 and will be evaluated as to impact and implemented accordingly.


In addition, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We have not yet assessed the impact, if any, of adopting this standard.


Note 2 - Discontinued Operations


During September 2015, we determined to discontinue operations of our subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp. (“BioPharma”) which was in the business of marketing animal feed supplements containing phytocannabinoids and put the assets and business up for sale.  We decided to sell this business primarily due to recent regulatory events.  The business was disposed of as of October 1, 2015.


The assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations are presented separately under the captions “Assets of discontinued operations held for sale” and “Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale,” respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2015, and consist of the following:

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies


Canna-Pet License Agreement

In July, 2014, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Peak BioPharma Corp., we entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with a Washington limited liability corporation (“Licensor”), which owns the brand name “Canna-Pet” and certain related intellectual property including, but not limited to, trademarks and copyrights, formulations, recipes, production processes and systems, websites, domain names, customer lists, supplier lists, trade secrets and know-how, and other related intellectual property (collectively, the “Licensed Intellectual Property”), used by Licensor in the conduct of its business related to the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp which are intended exclusively for consumption by pets. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Licensor granted to us a perpetual, exclusive, world-wide license to use the Licensed Intellectual Property in conjunction with our business and the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp as well as the right to sublicense the Licensed Intellectual Property to third parties. The License Agreement gives us the right to produce and sell existing products utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property and to develop new products, jointly with Licensor or otherwise, based upon the Licensed Intellectual Property. The License Agreement provides us with an immediate revenue source and access to Licensor’s customer base. During the term of the license, all intellectual property rights in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property remain the exclusive property of Licensor.

 

In consideration of the grant of the license, we have agreed to pay Licensor license fees in the form of royalty payments calculated on the basis of gross proceeds received by us from sales of products manufactured, marketed or sold by us utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property or any subsequently developed intellectual property which is jointly owned by us and Licensor.


The royalty will be calculated and paid by us on a quarterly basis using calendar quarters ending March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 each year and will be equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the first $1,000,000 of gross proceeds received by us during the quarter and ten percent (10%) on gross proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 received by us during the quarter. On or before the date, which is 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter,



F-11



Peak Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2015 and 2014



we will calculate the amount of the royalty due to Licensor for that quarter and will make payment in full of such amount to Licensor. For purposes of calculating the amount of royalty due for each quarter, “gross proceeds” will not include amounts received by us as payments for any and all taxes, duties, governmental charges, sales expenses, freight or shipping charges, and the like.

 

Commencing in 2015, we have agreed to pay Licensor a guaranteed minimum royalty amounts based upon the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of products (the “License Based Products”) utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property or subsequently developed jointly owned intellectual property. The guaranteed minimum royalty payments are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Time Period

 

Minimum Annual License Fee

January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015

 

Calculated based on gross proceeds equal to twice the verifiable sales of License Based Products for the calendar year ended December 31, 2014, with royalties equal to 15% on gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000 for the year and 10% on gross proceeds in excess of $4,000,000. 

January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016

 

Calculated based on gross proceeds equal to 115% of the amount of gross proceeds used to calculate the minimum royalty for the prior calendar year ended December 31.

January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017

 

Calculated based on gross proceeds equal to 115% of the amount of gross proceeds used to calculate the minimum royalty for the prior calendar year ended December 31.

January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018

 

Calculated based on gross proceeds equal to 115% of the amount of gross proceeds used to calculate the minimum royalty for the prior calendar year ended December 31.

January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019

 

Calculated based on gross proceeds equal to 115% of the amount of gross proceeds used to calculate the minimum royalty for the prior calendar year ended December 31.

January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020, and all succeeding years

 

The minimum annual royalty payment for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2020 and for all subsequent calendar years will be equal to the minimum annual royalty payment calculated for the calendar year ended December 31, 2019.


All royalty payments made by us during any calendar year will be credited against the minimum annual royalty amounts due and payable by us for such year. In the event that the aggregate amount of royalties’ payable by us for any calendar year are not sufficient to satisfy our minimum annual royalty payment obligation for that year, we will be obligated to pay the unpaid balance of the minimum royalty amount to Licensor on or before February 28 of the following year


Royalty expense for the year ended September 30, 2015 was $139,655 and is included in income from operations of BioPharma’s discontinued Canna-Pet component and liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale.  There were no royalty expenses in the year ended September 30, 2014.


Subsequent to September 30, 2015 all of our obligations under the agreement were terminated. (See Note 10 – Subsequent Events).


Operating Lease

We lease office and lab space under an operating lease, which expires August 31, 2016.  The lease may be cancelled upon a 30-day notice.  There are no automatic extension periods in the lease. Subsequent to September 30, 2015 we exercised our rights and notified the landlord that we would vacate the space in November 2015.

Note 6 – Stockholders’ Equity


On March 11, 2014 our board of directors authorized a 1.5 for 1 forward split of our common stock in the form of a stock dividend (the “Stock Split”). In connection therewith, Company shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 27, 2014, the record date, received an additional .5 shares of our common stock for each share of our common stock held by them on the record date. Accordingly, all references to numbers of common shares and per-share data in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the Stock Split on a retroactive basis.

Note 8 – Interest


On October 10, 2013, we entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Produced Water Solutions (“PWS”) and Montrose Capital Limited (“Montrose”) related to the termination of a June 13, 2013 Term Sheet (the “Term Sheet”) among us, PWS and Montrose. The Term Sheet contemplated a $250,000 bridge financing for PWS involving the sale of $250,000 in principal amount of secured convertible promissory notes of PWS (the “PWS Notes”) and a subsequent reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”) among us, PWS and the shareholders of PWS in which PWS would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours. On July 1, 2013 the $250,000, bridge financing was completed and the PWS Notes were issued. The Notes were subject to mandatory conversion at the effective time of the Merger into securities of ours. The parties to the Settlement Agreement subsequently determined not to proceed with the Merger, choosing instead to have us engage directly in the Business pursuant to a Joint Venture Agreement.


As a result, we became liable for $602,932 in short term notes, which include the original principal of $500,000 and accrued interest of $102,932.  On June 30, 2014 the Holders agreed to convert the Notes into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.20 per share for the outstanding principal of $602,932 and accrued interest of $46,848.  We issued 3,248,898 share of our common stock to the Holders.  In accordance with guidance in ASC Topic 470, Debt, we recognized a beneficial conversion feature to the debt and wrote-off the discount at the date of conversion.  The discount of $649,780 was recorded as interest expense.

Net operating loss carryover

 

 

$ 840,500

 

$ 381,900


In March 2014 there was a significant change in control of the Company which resulted in a loss of NOL carryforwards available through that date.  


ASC 740 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more than likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has determined that a $552,000 and $381,900 allowance at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is necessary to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. The change in the valuation allowance for the current year is $170,100.


As of September 30, 2015, we have a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $840,464. The loss will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, this carry forward will expire as follows in 2035.


There are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities in federal and state jurisdictions to audit our tax returns from 2011 through the current period. Our policy is to account for income tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in the statement of operations. There have been no income tax related interest or penalties assessed or recorded.


ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.


For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 we did not have any interest and penalties associated with tax positions. As of September 30, 2015 we did not have any significant unrecognized uncertain tax positions.
