NOTE 3 – ASSET ACQUISITION

On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into an asset acquisition agreement with ST Biosciences, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“STB”), of certain Transferred Assets, consisting substantially of their intellectual property relating to Mioxal®, a nutraceutical complex composed of essential amino acids, natural coenzymes and minerals. The Company acquired certain intellectual property, patent rights, and no tangible assets and assumed certain liabilities of STB, as discussed below. The acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 9, 2021. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $350,000 in cash to Ingenius, paid cash of $500,000 to STB and issued 19,831,623 shares of Common Stock to STB valued at $40,654,827 or $2.05 per share based on the closing market price on November 5, 2021, which at the closing of the acquisition represented approximately 70% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, for an aggregate purchase price of $41,504,827, resulting in a change in control of the Company. The shares were issued in December 2021.

At acquisition the assets and liabilities assumed have been recorded at the fair values as follows:

Mioxal®	$	81,249,827
Other intangible assets		178,000
Less liabilities assumed:
Mioxal® liability assumed		(39,500,000	)
Other liabilities assumed		(423,000	)
Net value acquired in asset acquisition	$	41,504,827

During the year ended August 31, 2022, additional intangibles of $28,773 were added related to the asset acquisition for payments made subsequent to the acquisition date.

The Mioxal® intellectual property, including the patent rights, was acquired by STB from Ingenius Biotech S.L, a Spanish corporation (“Ingenius”) on September 10, 2021. The Ingenius milestone and stock payments set forth in the Purchase Agreement between Ingenius and STB, were assumed by the Company in aggregate of $39,500,000 and are recorded in current and long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The first installment of $1,500,000 was due on January 15, 2022, the second installment of $1,500,000 on April 15, 2022 and a $3,500,000 payment was due within thirty business days following the occurrence of the milestone event. The milestone, a signed sales agreement with a third party to distribute Mioxal throughout Europe, was not reached and therefore the requirement for the milestone payment was forfeited and will never be owed. In addition, $15,000,000 was to be paid through the issuance of the Company’s common stock in three tranches beginning twelve months from execution of agreement with STB on September 10, 2021:

●

on September 10, 2022 - $4,000,000 (not issued as of the date of this filing)

●

on September 10, 2023 - $5,000,000

●

on September 10, 2024 - $6,000,000

●

Total stock to be issued - $15,000,000

The remaining balance was to be paid on an earn-out basis where under Ingenius would earn an 8% royalty on all sales generated by Mioxal® until the balance was satisfied.

On January 13, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Purchase Agreement with Ingenius Biotech S.L. to modify the terms of the agreement dated September 10, 2021. Under the amended agreement, the first installment of $1,500,000 was due on June 30, 2022, with an additional extension of the due date to August 30, 2022 (not paid), and the second installment was due on December 31, 2022. See Sale of Mioxal Intangible Assets below for additional details.

The Mioxal® asset had a 24-year life and was to be tested for impairment on an annual basis. During the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2022, amortization of $846,494 and $2,539,483 was expensed. The other intangible assets for $178,000 have a 21-year life. During the three and twelve months ended August 31, 2022, amortization of $2,119 and $6,357 was expensed. During the twelve months ended August 31, 2022, additional intangibles were added related to the asset acquisition in the amount of $38,638.

Impairment of Intangible Assets

At August 31, 2022, an asset impairment evaluation resulted in the Company recording $35,762,550 in impairment expense in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, and a carrying value of $42,980,076 for the intangible assets. The Company had recorded impairment expenses of $17,598 in previous quarters, to total $35,780,148 for the fiscal year. The calculation of the carrying value of the Mioxal net assets was informed by the terms of the sale of those assets on November 7, 2022, as calculated below:

Impairment of Intangible Assets

Valuation at the sale of Mioxal:
Cash to be received by the Company	$	100,000
FV of 350,000 shares transferred to Buyer from third parties ($0.13 per share)		(45,500	)
Debt assumed/forgiven by Buyer		39,500,000
Impairment expense		(39,554,500	)
NPV of estimated future royalty cash stream		—
Total estimated value of intangible assets at August 31, 2023		—
Carrying value of intangible assets at August 31, 2023	$	3,380,076
Impairment expense at August 31, 2023 on intangible assets	$	3,380,076

The assumptions used for estimated future royalty cash stream included 1) 5% royalty on gross margin for a five-year period of estimated sales in the United States, with a two-year introductory delay in taking the product to market, 2) a similar royalty on international sales, with an additional two-year introductory delay and an increased cost of 15% for additive distribution costs, 3) an estimate of approximately 200,000 units sold in year 1 of the projected royalty stream for a total sales estimate of approximately $7,500,000, and 4) sales growth rates of 100% for each of the years 2 through 4, decreasing to 60% in year 5. Growth rate in any subsequent year would be expected to drop off significantly or to 0%, however, those possible future years are not included in the project revenues, costs or gross merging. The projections of foundational sales volumes, revenues and costs were performed by industry experts in January 2022 as part of an independent product evaluation. As with all projections, Management cannot ensure that the estimated amounts will be actualized.

Sale of the Mioxal Intangible Assets:

On November 7, 2022, the Company completed the disposition of all the assets, including intellectual property assets, and obligations relating to Mioxal® to Ingenius Biotech S.L., a corporation organized under the laws of Spain (“Ingenius”). As part of the disposition, certain shareholders of the Company transferred an aggregate of 350,000 shares of the Company’s currently outstanding common stock, to Ingenius and Ingenius agreed to pay the Company (i) $100,000 upon the first to occur of Ingenius’ first sale or commercialization of the Mioxal product or Ingenius’ sale, license, transfer or other disposition of the Mioxal product to a third party, and (ii) a 5% royalty on worldwide net sales of the Mioxal product by Ingenius or a third party commencing on the date of the first sale of Mioxal products and ending on the 18-month anniversary of the last to expire of any patent covering the Mioxal products. Additionally, Ingenius agreed to release the Company from all of its liabilities and obligations relating to the Mioxal products and indemnify the Company from all claims relating to the Mioxal product following the date of the disposition. After the disposition of the assets and liabilities related to Mioxal, the Company recognized a $3,380,076 royalty asset, recorded as an intangible asset on the consolidated balance sheet. As of August 31, 2023, the royalty asset balance was $0 and the Company recorded additional impairment expense of $3,380,076. As of August 31, 2023 the Company wrote off the $100,000 of cash yet to be received to impairment expense.
