NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

(A) Organization and Description

The Company is in the business of licensing and commercializing our proprietary medical devices and biomaterials for the treatment and/or management of afflictions and diseases in animals, initially for dogs and horses. The Company began commercialization of its lead product Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology, a veterinarian-administered, intraarticular injection for the management of lameness and other joint afflictions such osteoarthritis in dogs and horses, in September 2021. The Company has a pipeline of additional products for the treatment of animals in various stages of development. A portfolio of nineteen patents protects the Company’s biomaterials, products, production processes and methods of use. The Company’s operations are conducted from its headquarter facilities in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota.

(B) Basis of Presentation

PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Nevada under a former name in 2009 and entered its current business in 2014 through a stock exchange reverse merger with PetVivo, Inc., a Minnesota corporation. This merger resulted in Minnesota PetVivo becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In April 2017, the Company acquired another Minnesota corporation, Gel-Del Technologies, Inc., through a statutory merger, which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those which are normal and recurring) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information have been included. The results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2023, or for any other interim period or for any future year. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022.

(C) Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly-owned Minnesota corporations, Gel-Del Technologies, Inc. and PetVivo, Inc. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

(D) Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include collectability of accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment and intangibles, estimate of fair value of share-based payments, distributor rebate payable, provision for product returns, lease assets and liabilities and valuation of deferred tax assets.

(E) Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid, temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

(F) Concentration Risk

The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company did have cash balances in excess of the federally insured limits.

(G) Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists of amounts due from a distributor (see revenue recognition). Accounts receivable are recorded based on management’s assessment of the expected consideration to be received, based on a detailed review of historical collections. Management relies on the results of the assessment, which includes payment history of the applicable payer as a primary source of information in estimating the collectability of our accounts receivable. We update our assessment on a quarterly basis, which to date has not resulted in any material adjustments to the valuation of our accounts receivable. We believe the assessment provides reasonable estimates of our accounts receivable valuation, and therefore we believe that substantially all accounts receivable are fully collectible.

(H) Inventory

Inventories are recorded in accordance with ASC 330, Inventory, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We account for inventories using the first in first out (FIFO) methodology.

(I) Property & Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method (after considering their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years for production and computer equipment and furniture and 5 to 7 years for leasehold improvements.

(J) Patents and Trademarks

The Company capitalizes direct costs for the maintenance and advancement of their patents and trademarks and amortizes these costs over the lesser of the useful life of 60 months or the life of the patent. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically by considering events or circumstances that may warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate the asset may be impaired.

(K) Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

The Company had 3,634,817 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2022, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $5.63 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these warrants is $5.04 per share. These warrants are excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they are considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 328,168 restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2022 which are excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they are considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 755,849 options outstanding as of December 31, 2022, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.39 to $2.79 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these options is $2.17 per share. These options are excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they are considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 3,754,484 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2021, with varying exercise prices ranging from $1.20 to $6.67 per share. The weighted average exercise price for these warrants is $4.95 per share. These warrants were excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they are considered anti-dilutive.

The Company had 549,265 restricted stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2021 which were excluded from the weighted average number of shares because they are considered anti-dilutive.

The Company uses the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260 to determine if-converted loss per share. ASC 260 states that convertible securities should be considered exercised on the latter of the first day of the reporting period’s quarter or the inception date of the debt instrument. Also, the if-converted method shall not be applied for the purposes of computing diluted EPS if the effect would be anti-dilutive.

(L) Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”

The Company derives revenue from the sale of its pet care products directly to its veterinarian customers in the United States. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the veterinarian customer are satisfied. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms. Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the customer, which is when control of these products is transferred and in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive for these products. Shipping costs charged to customers are reported as an offset to the respective shipping costs. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale.

The Company entered into a Distribution Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MWI Veterinary Supply Co. (the “Distributor”) on June 17, 2022. Contracts with the Distributor are evidenced by individual executed purchase orders subject to the terms of the Agreement. The contracts consist of a single performance obligation related to the sale of our pet care products. Product sales occur once control or title is transferred based on the commercial terms in the Agreement. Revenue is recognized upon delivery to the Distributor; payment is due within 60 days. The Agreement provides for a distribution fee payable to the Distributor equal to 5% of gross monthly sales payable in 45 days; the distribution fee is netted against revenue. The Agreement provides for a rebate payable to the Distributor based on annual sales volume that is retroactively applied. The rebate is estimated under the expected value method and is netted against revenue. Sales are subject to various right of return provisions; the Company uses an expected value method to estimate returns and has determined that any returns would be immaterial as of December 31, 2022. As a result, there is no refund liability recorded. Shipping and handling costs are a fulfillment activity and are reported as cost of sales.

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized revenue from product sales under the Agreement of $456,502 and $574,766, respectively. This represents 89% and 73% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.

Assets and liabilities (included in accrued expenses) under the Agreement were as follows at December 31, 2022:

 SCHEDULE OF RECOGNIZED REVENUE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

(M) Research and Development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

(N) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company applies the accounting guidance under FASB ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, as well as certain related FASB staff positions. This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact business and considers assumptions that marketplace participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance.

The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy for measurements of fair value as follows:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and note payable and accrued interest. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments approximates their fair value as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, due to the short-term nature of these instruments and the Company’s borrowing rate of interest.

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The valuation of the Company’s note recorded at fair value is determined using Level 3 inputs, which consider (i) time value, (ii) current market and (iii) contractual prices.

The Company had no assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

(O) Stock-Based Compensation - Non-Employees

Equity Instruments Issued to Parties Other Than Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under the guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB ASC (“Sub-topic 505-50”).

Pursuant to ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

The fair value of share options and similar instruments is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The ranges of assumptions for inputs are as follows:

Pursuant to Paragraphs 505-50-25-8 and 505-50-25-9, an entity may grant fully vested, non-forfeitable equity instruments that are exercisable by the grantee only after a specified period of time or if the terms of the agreement provide for earlier exercisability if the grantee achieves specified performance conditions. Any measured cost of the transaction shall be recognized in the same period(s) and in the same manner as if the entity had paid cash for the goods or services or used cash rebates as a sales discount instead of paying with, or using, the equity instruments. A recognized asset, expense, or sales discount shall not be reversed if a share option and similar instrument that the counterparty has the right to exercise expires unexercised.

(P) Stock-Based Compensation

Stock options are valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes valuation model require the input of highly subjective assumptions. The assumptions include the expected term of the option, the expected volatility of the price of our common stock, expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the significant application of management’s judgment. If factors change and different assumptions are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future. We recognize compensation expense for these options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (see Note 11 – “Stockholders’ Equity”).

(Q) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

As required by ASC Topic 450, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The Company is not currently under examination by any federal or state jurisdiction.

The Company’s policy is to record tax-related interest and penalties as a component of operating expenses.

(R) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

All other newly issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

The base rent has annual increases of 2% and the Company is responsible for its proportional share of common space expenses, property taxes, and building insurance. This lease is terminable by the landlord if damage causes the property to no longer be utilized as an integrated whole and by the Company if damage causes the facility to be unusable for a period of 45 days. In January 2020, the Company entered into a lease amendment to extend the lease term through November of 2026 in exchange for receipt of a loan of $42,500 recorded to note payable. The monthly base rent as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 is $2,205.

The Company entered into a sixty-three-month lease for 2,400 square feet of office space located in Edina, Minnesota in January 2022. The base rent has annual increases of 2.5% and the Company is responsible for its proportional share of common space expenses, property taxes, and building insurance. The monthly base rent as of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022 is $2,673.

Rent expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $32,484 and $16,549, respectively. Rent expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $93,460 and $50,952, respectively.

 SCHEDULE OF LEASE CURRENT AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with its executive officers. As of December 31, 2022, these agreements contain severance benefits ranging from one month to six months if terminated without cause.

Legal Proceedings

The Company has received correspondence from an attorney representing Dr. David Masters, our former Chief Technology Officer and former director, alleging that the Company, among other items, breached its settlement and consulting agreement with him and owes him additional monies pursuant to these agreements. His attorney also alleges that the Company promised to enter into a new employment agreement with him and failed to fulfill that promise. The Company believes that Dr. Masters’ claims are without merit and has retained legal counsel. The Company does not believe that this matter will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Purchase Commitment

We issued purchase orders as of December 31, 2022 totaling $51,000 for inventory that we expect to receive within the next three months.

NOTE 10 - GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

The Company incurred net losses of $6,388,635 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, had net cash used in operating activities of $5,500,247 for the same period and has an accumulated deficit of $69,515,056 at December 31, 2022. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months after the date of issuance of these financial statements. In view of these matters, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to achieve a level of profitability and/or to obtain adequate financing through the issuance of debt or equity in order to finance its operations.

The Company sold shares of its common stock in January 2023 (see Note 12) and management intends to raise additional funds through the offering of its equity securities. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan will enable the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise additional funds.

COVID-19 has had an impact on the global economy, which directly or indirectly may have an impact on our ability to continue as a going concern.

These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 11 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Equity Incentive Plan

On July 10, 2020, our Board of Directors unanimously approved the PetVivo Holdings, Inc “2020 Equity Incentive Plan” (the “2020 Plan”), which authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock as awards under the 2020 Plan, subject to approval by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 22, 2020, when it was approved by our stockholders and became effective. On October 14, 2022, the stockholders of the Company approved the PetVivo Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which increased the number of shares of the Company’s common stock which may be granted under the Amended Plan from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000. Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Amended Plan will terminate at midnight on July 10, 2030. The number of shares available to grant under the Amended Plan was 1,673,074 at December 31, 2022.

Employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company (or any subsidiary), and non-employee directors of the Company will be eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. In the case of consultants and advisors, however, their services cannot be in connection with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction nor directly or indirectly to promote or maintain a market for PetVivo common stock.

The Amended Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Committee”), which has full power and authority to determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount, form of payment, any deferral payment, and other terms and conditions of each award. Subject to provisions of the Amended Plan, the Committee may amend or waive the terms and conditions, or accelerate the exercisability, of an outstanding award. The Committee also has the authority to interpret and establish rules and regulations for the administration of the Amended Plan. In addition, the Board of Directors may also exercise the powers of the Committee.

The aggregate number of shares of PetVivo common stock available and reserved to be issued under the Amended Plan is 3,000,000 shares, but includes the following limits:

Awards can be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash and other consideration as determined by the Committee. Awards may provide that upon the grant or exercise thereof, the holder will receive cash, shares of PetVivo common stock, other securities or property, or any combination of these in a single payment, installments or on a deferred basis. The exercise price per share of any stock option and the grant price of any stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of PetVivo common stock on the date of grant. The term of any award cannot be longer than ten years from the date of grant. Awards will be adjusted in the event of a stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, forward or reverse stock split, reorganization, merger or other business combination, or similar corporate transaction, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits provided under the Amended Plan.

The Amended Plan permits the following types of awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, performance awards, non-employee director awards, other stock-based awards, and dividend equivalents.

Common Stock

For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 118,164 shares of common stock as follows:

For the nine months ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued 2,958,615 shares of common stock as follows:

Stock Options

Stock options issued to employees typically vest over three years and have a contractual term of seven years. Stock-based compensation expense included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for stock options was $350,006 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and $480,792 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. At December 31, 2022, there was approximately $1,126,000 of total unrecognized stock option expense which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Annually, we make predictive assumptions regarding future stock price volatility, dividend yield, expected term and forfeiture rate. The dividend yield assumption is based on expected annual dividend yield on a grant date. To date, no dividends on common stock have been paid by us. Expected volatility for grants is based on our average historical volatility over a similar period as the expected term assumption used for our options as the expected volatility. The risk-free interest rate is based on yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities similar to the expected term of the options for each option group. We use the “simplified method” to determine the expected term of the stock option grants. We utilize this method because we do not have sufficient public company exercise data in which to make a reasonable estimate.

The following table sets forth the assumptions used to estimate fair values of our stock options granted:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “PetVivo,” “we” or “us) is an emerging biomedical device company focused on the manufacturing, commercialization and licensing of innovative medical devices and therapeutics for animals. The Company began commercialization of its lead product Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology, a veterinarian-administered, intra-articular injection for the management of lameness and other joint afflictions such as osteoarthritis in dogs and horses, in September 2021. The Company has a pipeline of additional products for the treatment of animals in various stages of development. A portfolio of nineteen patents protects the Company’s biomaterials, products, production processes and methods of use.

In August 2021, we received net proceeds of approximately $9.8 million in a registered public offering (“Public Offering”) of 2.5 million units at a public offering price of $4.50 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.625 per share. The shares of common stock and warrants were transferable separately immediately upon issuance. In connection with the Public Offering, the Company’s common stock and warrants were registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, LLC under the symbols “PETV” and “PETVW,” respectively.

The Company was incorporated in March 2009 under Nevada law under a different name. The Company operates as one segment from its corporate headquarters in Edina, Minnesota.

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

The Company is primarily engaged in the business of commercializing and licensing products in the veterinary market to treat and/or manage afflictions of companion animals such as dogs and horses. The Company’s lead product, Spryng™, is based on proprietary technology developed for human biomedical applications, and we intend to leverage the investments already expended in this development to commercialize treatments for companion animals in a capital and time-efficient way.

The Company’s lead product, Spryng™ is derived from proprietary biomaterials that simulate a body’s cellular or acellular tissue by virtue of their reliance upon natural protein and carbohydrate compositions which incorporate such “tissue building blocks” as collagen, elastin and heparin. Since these are naturally-occurring in the body, we believe they have an enhanced biocompatibility with living tissues compared to polymeric biomaterials such as those based upon alpha-hydroxy polymers (e.g. PLA, PLGA and the like), polycryamides and other “synthetic” biomaterials that may lack the multiple “natural” proteins and carbohydrates incorporated into our biomaterials. These proprietary protein-based biomaterials appear to mimic the body’s tissue thus allowing integration and tissue repair in long-term implantation in certain applications.

The Company’s lead product, Spryng™ is a veterinary medical device designed to help reinforce and augment articular cartilage tissue for the management of lameness and other joint related afflictions, such as osteoarthritis, in companion animals. Spryng™ is an intra-articular injectable product of biocompatible and insoluble particles that are slippery, wet-permeable, durable, and resilient to enhance the force cushioning function of the synovial fluid and cartilage. The particles are similar to natural cartilage in composition, structure, and hydration. Multiple joints can be treated simultaneously. Our particles are comprised of collagen, elastin and heparin, similar components found in natural cartilage. These particles show an effectiveness to reinforce and augment the cartilage, which enhances the functionality of the joint (e.g. provide cushion or shock-absorbing features to the joint and to provide joint lubricity).

Osteoarthritis, a common inflammatory joint disease in both dogs and horses, is a chronic, progressive, degenerative joint disease that is caused by a loss of synovial fluid and/or the deterioration of joint cartilage. Osteoarthritis affects approximately 14 million dogs and 1 million horses in the $11 billion companion animal veterinary care and product sales market.

Despite the market size, veterinary clinics and hospitals have very few treatments and/or drugs for use in treating osteoarthritis in dogs, horses and other pets. As there is no cure for osteoarthritis, current solutions treat symptoms but do not manage the cause. The current treatment for osteoarthritis in dogs generally consists of the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (or “NSAIDs”) which are approved to alleviate pain and inflammation but present the potential for side effects relating to gastrointestinal, kidney and liver damage and do not halt or slow joint degeneration. The Company offers an alternative to traditional treatments that only address the symptoms of the affliction. Spryng™ with OsteoCushion™ Technology addresses the affliction, loss of synovial fluid and/or the deterioration of joint cartilage, rather than treating just the symptoms and, to the best our knowledge, has elicited minimal adverse side effects in dogs and horses. Based on information provided to us by veterinarians and pet owners, Spryng™-treated dogs and horses have shown an increase in activity even after they no longer are receiving pain medication or other treatments. Other treatments for osteoarthritis include steroid and/or hyaluronic acid injections, which are used for treating pain and inflammation and/or enhancing joint lubrication, but can be slow acting and/or short lasting.

We believe Spryng™ is an optimal solution to safely improve joint function in animals for several reasons:

Historically, drug sales represent up to 30% of revenues at a typical veterinary practice (Veterinary Practice News). Revenues and margins at veterinary practices are being eroded because online, big-box and traditional pharmacies have recently started filling veterinary prescriptions. Veterinary practices are looking for ways to replace lost prescription revenues with safe and effective products. Spryng™ is a veterinarian-administered medical device that will help veterinarians provide a new solution for treating dogs and horses which have lameness due to synovial joint issues, while expanding revenues and margins for their practices.

Spryng™ is classified as a veterinary medical device under the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) rules and pre-market approval is not required by the FDA. Spryng™ completed a safety and efficacy study in rabbits in 2007. Since that time, more than 1,500 horses and dogs have been treated with Spryng™. We entered into a clinical trial services agreement with Colorado State University on November 5, 2020. We expect this university clinical study to be completed in March 2024. Additionally, the Company successfully completed an equine tolerance study in March 2022 and began a canine clinical study with Ethos Veterinary Health in May 2022 with anticipated completion in fiscal 2023. We anticipate these and other studies that we plan to initiate will be primarily used to support our commercialization efforts and expand the use of Spryng™ in other applications.

We commenced sales of Spryng™ in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and plan to increase our commercialization efforts of Spryng™ in the United States through our distribution relationship with MWI Veterinary Supply Co. (“Distributor” or “MWI”) and the use of sales reps, clinical studies and market awareness to educate and inform key opinion leaders on the benefits of Spryng™.

We entered into a Distribution Services Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) with MWI on June 17, 2022. Pursuant to the Agreement, we appointed MWI to distribute, advertise, promote, market, supply and sell the Company’s lead product, Spryng™ on an exclusive basis for two (2) years within the United States (the “Territory”), transitioning to a non-exclusive basis thereafter; provided however that the Company shall extend the exclusivity for an additional one (1) year if MWI achieves certain performance targets agreed upon by the parties. The Company can continue to sell Spryng™ within the Territory to established accounts, which include: (a) customers who have purchased Spryng™ from the Company prior to the date of the Agreement, (b) customers who require that they deal directly with the Company, (c) governmental agencies, and (d) customers that order via the internet who are not directly solicited by MWI to purchase Spryng™. All customers must be licensed veterinary practices.

We manufacture our products in our ISO 7 certified clean room facility in Minneapolis using our patented and scalable self-assembly production process, which minimizes the infrastructure requirements and manufacturing risks to deliver a consistent, high-quality product while being responsive to volume requirements. A second ISO 7 cleanroom facility is expected to be operational later this year. We believe that having two manufacturing facilities will help us minimize supply risks, allow for the continued scaling of our production capacity, and expand our research and development facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2022 10-K Report and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1, Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“10-Q Report”). The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2022 10-K Report under the heading “Risk Factors,” as updated and supplemented by risks described in other SEC filings. The Company assumes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.

We are a smaller reporting company and have not generated material revenues to date and have incurred substantial losses in connection with our limited operations. We need substantial capital to pursue our current plans to commercialize our initial product, Spryng™.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On August 13, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of 2,500,000 units, at a price of $4.50 per unit. Net proceeds from the Public Offering were approximately $9,781,000, net of commissions and expenses of the offering.

As of December 31, 2022, our current assets were $1,735,929, including $374,533 in cash and cash equivalents. In comparison, our current liabilities as of that date were $1,564,582 including $1,497,680 of accounts payable and accrued expenses. Our working capital as of December 31, 2022 was $171,347.

The Company has continued to realize losses from operations. However, as a result of our Public Offering and the recent sale of our common stock in a registered direct offering which closed in January 2023, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditure requirements for the next four months. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our efforts to commercialize Spryng™ and our ongoing operations. We expect to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities from time to time for the foreseeable future to fund our business expansion. Our ability to obtain such additional capital will likely be subject to various factors, including our overall business performance and market conditions. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its ability to raise additional capital to fund its business plan.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities – We used $5,500,247 of net cash in operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This cash used in operating activities was primarily attributable to our net loss of $6,388,635, an increase in inventories of $276,569, an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $140,930 and an increase in accounts receivable of $504,248, partially offset by stock compensation expense of $1,069,585 and stock issued for services of $258,844.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities – Cash provided from financing activities was $61,804 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022 consisting of cash received of $66,558 from the exercise of warrants partially offset by $4,754 in repayments of a note payable.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at cost, subject to the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less estimated costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand through an inventory count.

At December 31, 2022, the Company’s inventory has a carrying value of $374,882 and is broken down into $30,947 of finished goods, $25,860 of work in process and $318,075 in raw materials.

At March 31, 2022, the Company’s inventory had a carrying value of $98,313 and was broken down into $11,889 of finished goods, $22,960 of work in process and $63,464 in raw materials.

MATERIAL COMMITMENTS

Note Payable

As of December 31, 2022, we are obligated on a note and accrued interest of $28,996.

Purchase Commitment

We issued purchase orders as of December 31, 2022 totaling $51,000 for inventory that we expect to receive within the next three months.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of December 31, 2022, and as of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

GOING CONCERN

The independent auditors’ report accompanying our 2022 10-K Report and financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. In August 2021, we raised approximately $9,781,000 from the sale of units in a Public Offering. Our working capital at December 31, 2022 was $171,347. In January 2023, the Company sold 610,011 shares of its common stock in a registered direct offering at a purchase price of $2.32 per share. Proceeds from this offering were approximately $1.4 million, after deducting transaction expenses. We believe this working capital is sufficient to fund operations for the next four months (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above).

We have continued to realize losses from operations. However, as a result of our Public Offering and the recent sale of our common stock in a registered direct offering, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our anticipated operating costs and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next four months. We will need to raise additional capital in the future to support our efforts to commercialize Spryng™ and our ongoing operations. We expect to continue to raise additional capital through the sale of our securities from time to time for the foreseeable future to fund our business expansion. Our ability to obtain such additional capital will likely be subject to various factors, including our overall business performance and market conditions. There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its ability to raise additional capital to fund its business plan.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements attached hereto. We believe these accounting policies involve the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company has reviewed the FASB-issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts on an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for the exceptions. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

All other newly issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements have been deemed either immaterial or not applicable.

ITEM 3. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and pursuant to Instruction 6 to Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide this information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting in the third quarter of our fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued 11,250 shares of common stock in December related to vesting of restricted stock units issued to three employees.

All of these transactions described above were exempt from registration in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. The purchasers of securities in each of these transactions represented their intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to offer or sell, in connection with any distribution of the securities, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates and instruments issued in such transactions.

Use of Proceeds from IPO

On August 13, 2021, we completed our Public Offering pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 2,500,000 units at the public offering price of $4.50 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.625 per share. The shares of common stock and warrants were transferable separately immediately upon issuance. At the closing of the Public Offering, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option to purchase an additional 375,000 warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $3,850.

The offer and sale of all of the units in our Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-249452), which was declared effective by the SEC on August 10, 2021 (“Registration Statement”). ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. acted as the sole book-running manager for the offering. In connection with the Public Offering, the Company’s common stock and warrants were registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and began trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, LLC under the symbols “PETV” and “PETVW,” respectively.

We received aggregate gross proceeds from our Public Offering of $11,253,850 (inclusive of the underwriter’s exercise of its overallotment option to purchase warrants). After deducing underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, we received net proceeds of approximately $9,781,000 from the Public Offering.

As disclosed in the Registration Statement, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the Public Offering for debt repayment of $101,400 consisting of (i) $36,808 in accrued salary and expenses relating to the CEO; (ii) $20,000 in notes payable to four directors, which accrued interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum and matured in September 2021; and (iii) repayment of $44,554 in a note payable to our former Director of Science and Technology and a director, which accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and maturity date of June 30, 2022.

There has been no material change in our intended use of proceeds from our Public Offering as described in the Prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on August 13, 2021.
