Applied BioPharma

The Applied BioPharma business unit is focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapeutics to treat serious diseases by leveraging an industry leading pipeline of endocannabinoid system-targeted drug candidates.

The Company is actively seeking in-license opportunities with the goal of developing an industry leading pipeline of endocannabinoid system-targeted drug candidates that address significant unmet needs across a wide range of therapeutic areas. The Applied management team expects to announce at least one in-licensing agreement before year end.

Applied Products

The Applied Products business unit currently consists of eight different brands of hemp-derived, THC-free, pharmaceutical grade CBD isolates and distribution products, all of which ship to the majority of U.S., as well as to multiple non-US countries. The Company’s portfolio currently includes consumer, animal health, women’s health and sports medicine products.

Applied Products operates under a differentiated approach to quality and regulatory practices within the industry, which it believes well-positions them to be leaders in the market and access the significant opportunity for revenue generation. All CBD products utilize the most proven and effective production methods to ensure the highest quality output. The Company’s Full Spectrum products are made using CO2 Extraction, which allows for the proper retention of cannabinoids and terpenes vs a distillate, and a winterization process. Applied’s THC Free products are CBD Isolate infused. This isolation process leaves behind pure pharmaceutical grade CBD only, ensuring the highest quality is achieved. Additionally, the Company’s Nano CBD Isolate products use a specialized Nano-Particulizer, a process which creates a pure nano-molecule.

Trace Analytics, Inc.

Trace Analytics Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of Applied, is a leading cannabis science and technology company with significant footprints in lab testing, research and development and licensing. Trace Analytics was started by a group of scientists who specialized in analytical chemistry, genetics and molecular biology. The focus of the team is to ensure compliance with public safety standards and end user safety. Trace Analytics is in the process of expanding throughout the United States, and globally. With the goal of helping the rest of the world adopt “best practices” in cannabis and hemp testing, the Company also provides expert consulting services to legislators and regulators in many countries, states and municipalities around the world.

The Company is actively establishing a global medical and consumer platform and multiple brands through creating a platform to partner and invest in various segments in the consumer industry and establish key exclusive strategic alliances which serve to accomplish the task of becoming the market leader.

Summary of Financial Results for First Quarter FY2020 Ended June 30, 2019

For the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company reported net loss of approximately $423,897 or net loss per diluted share of $0.03, compared to a net loss of approximately $395,501 or a net loss per diluted share of $0.04, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue from Applied BioSciences’ CBD product lines was $85,740 as compared to $10,434 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase reflects higher sales across all of the Company’s CBD brand product lines, most notably in its topical products, combined with expansion into sales of bulk hemp seed and raw CBD. Service revenue resulting from the Company’s lab testing is attributed solely to the acquisition of Trace Analytics in January 2019, and totaled $125,717 for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

General and administrative expenses increased $236,903 to $444,049 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $207,146 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase can be attributed to the acquisition of Trace Analytics, with general and administrative expenses for the remainder of the Company essentially flat compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The Company ended the quarter with $37,940 in cash and cash equivalents. The Company is actively evaluating opportunities to fund continued growth in its products and services revenue along with planned business development activities for Applied BioPharma, and anticipates closing a financing by the end of second quarter Fiscal Year 2020.
