ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
We were incorporated April 24, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We intend to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license, develop internally or acquire outright from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials. The primary factor to be considered by us in arriving at a decision to advance an application further to Phase III clinical trials would be a greater than anticipated indication of efficacy seen in Phase I trials.
The Company has the following therapies in development:
● | HemaXellarate : HemaXellarate is a cellular composition of autologous stromal vascular fraction derived from adipose tissue. HemaXellarate contains endothelial progenitor cells as well as mesenchymal stem cells. It is believed by the Company that once re-infused into the patient, the patient’s bone marrow will regenerate and begin to function normally. | |
● | dCellVax: dCellVax is comprised of autologous dendritic cells which have been treated with an siRNA inhibitor of indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), an immunosuppressive enzyme. The Company believes that by inhibiting this enzyme in these dendritic cells, the patient’s cells can now attack cancers, particularly breast cancer. | |
● | tCellVax: Immune cells are removed from the patient, treated with siRNA to inhibit NR2F6 and the cells re-infused to the patient. The Company believes that once the inhibitor protein is blocked, the immune system will be very activated and kill tumors. siRNA is a double-stranded RNA molecule that is non-coding and is a powerful tool in drug targeting and therapeutics development as it is used to modulate gene expression through transcriptional or translational repression. The NR2F6 nuclear receptor has been identified as a potentially very important immune cell inhibitor (an immune checkpoint) and cancer stem cell differentiator. | |
● | DiffronC: This drug is intended to use our proprietary siRNA in vivo to inhibit cancer growth and activate T cells. The siRNA targets NR2F6. T cells are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. | |
● | DuraCar: DuraCar is comprised of CAR-T cells which have been treated with an shRNA targeting the gene NR2F6. By inhibiting NR2F6, we expect our DuraCar cells to have greater efficacy and persistence than conventional CAR-T cells and create a new, optimal way to manufacture CAR-T cells. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of this drug. Chimeric antigen receptor T cells ( CAR-T cells) are T cells that have been genetically engineered to produce an artificial T cell receptor for use in immunotherapy. Chimeric antigen receptors are receptor proteins that have been engineered to give T cells the new ability to target a specific antigen. | |
● | Small molecule: We have identified and patented a series of small molecules which can both activate and inhibit NR2F6. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of these drugs. |
None of the abovementioned statements regarding any of our products in development are intended to be a prediction or conclusion of efficacy. No clinical trials on our product candidates have commenced so no conclusions of efficacy can be made.
As of April 30, 2025, we have not licensed any existing therapies which may be marketed.
The Company has entered into license agreements with Zander Therapeutics, Inc. ( an entity under common control) and Oncology Pharma Inc. ( an unrelated entity).
Both Zander and Oncology Pharma, Inc. will be required to obtain approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in order to market any Licensed Product which may be developed within the United States and no assurance may be given that such approval would be granted.

Principal Products and Services
The Company has begun development of HemaXellerate, a cellular therapy designed to heal damaged bone marrow. HemaXellerate is a patient-specific composition of cells that have been demonstrated to repair damaged bone marrow and stimulate production of blood cells based in previous animal studies. The initial application of HemaXellerate will be the treatment of severe aplastic anemia which is characterized by immune-mediated bone marrow hypoplasia (underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue) and pancytopenia (reduction in the number of blood cells and platelets).
Adipose tissue is collected from the patient and processed in order to separate, extract and isolate Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), a mix of various cell types including mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial cells. Mesenchymal stem cells are connective tissue cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types and endothelial cells are the cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels and which play a vital role in angiogenesis (the physiological process through which new blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels).
The isolated SVF is then intravenously administered to the patient. The Company believes that the isolated SVF will generate growth factors with the ability to repair damaged hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells are immature cells that can develop into all types of blood cells, including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. Hematopoietic stem cells are found in the peripheral blood and the bone marrow.
On February 5, 2013 Regen filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial assessing HemaXellerate in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia. The Phase I clinical trial is intended to determine safety and potential efficacy of intravenously administered autologous SVF cells in patients with severe, immune suppressive refractory aplastic anemia with the primary endpoints of safety and feasibility and secondary endpoints of efficacy as determined by patients having complete response, partial response or relapse.
Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a previously unapproved drug or biologic intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally defined as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 individuals annually in the United States. Generally, if a product with an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to a seven year period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA from approving another marketing application for the same drug for that time period. The sponsor of the product would also be entitled to a United States federal tax credit equal to 50% of clinical investigation expenses as well as exemptions from certain fees.
The Company believes that this application of HemaXellerate qualifies for Orphan designation under the Orphan Drug Act due to the fact that aplastic anemia is a rare disease with prevalence in the United States of less than 200,000 and intends to apply to the FDA for Orphan designation for HemaXellerate.
On December 10, 2015 Regen was informed by the United States Food and Drug Administration that Regen has satisfactorily addressed all clinical hold issues related to Regen’s Investigational New Drug Application for HemaXellerate and may initiate a Phase I clinical trial assessing HemaXellerate in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia. The Phase I clinical trial is intended to determine safety and potential efficacy of intravenously administered autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells in patients with severe, immune suppressive refractory aplastic anemia with the primary endpoints of safety and feasibility and secondary endpoints of efficacy as determined by patients having complete response, partial response or relapse.

dCellVax is intended to be a therapy whereby dendritic cells of the cancer patient are harvested from the body, treated with siRNA that has the ability to block the dendritic cell from expressing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (“IDO”) and subsequently reimplanted in the cancer patient.
The dendritic cells that are treated with the IDO-blocking RNA become resistant to the influence of tumor cells which produce factors which cause the dendritic cell to express the IDO. Expression of IDO in the dendritic cell halts the dendritic cell from activating T cells and causes the dendritic cell to suppress T cells. T lymphocytes (‘T cells”) are a lymphocyte that play a central role in the human immune system’s attempt to eradicate tumors. The Company has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial assessing safety with signals of efficacy of the dCellVax gene-silenced dendritic cell immunotherapy for treating breast cancer. The proposed trial will recruit 10 patients with metastatic breast cancer and will involve 4 monthly injections of the dCellVax gene-silenced dendritic cell therapy. The trial is anticipated to last one year, with tumor assessment before therapy and at 6 and 12 months.
On May 12, 2021 the “Company executed a consulting agreement with Biotech Research Group Corporation, an FDA Specialist Group and Global Regulatory and Scientific Experts, for the purpose of review and guidance with regard to the planned reinstatement of the Company’s inactive Investigational New Drug applications (INDs) #15376 (HemaXellerate) and #16200 (dCellVax) filed with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The securing of the services to be provided to the Company pursuant to this consulting agreement marks the first step taken by the Company with regard to activating the Company’s currently inactive applications to initiate clinical trials.
tCellVax is intended to be a therapy where immune cells are removed from the cancer patient, treated with siRNA which inhibits NR2F6 and the cells re-infused to the patient. NR2F6 normally acts as a brake on the ability of various immune cells from being activated. The immune cells that are treated with the NR2F6-blocking siRNA become highly activated and can efficiently kill tumors.. The Company has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial assessing safety and feasibility of the dCellVax gene-silenced immune cell immunotherapy for treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or not able to be removed surgically. The proposed trial will recruit 25 patients with metastatic cancer and will involve 3 monthly injections of the dCellVax gene-silenced dendritic cell therapy. The trial is anticipated to last one year, with tumor assessment before therapy and at 6 and 12 months.
DiffronC: NR2F6 is a transcription factor that is present in many cells in the body, including immune cells but also highly expressed in certain solid tumors. NR2F6 normally acts as a brake on the ability of various immune cells from being activated and also allows tumor cells to keep growing. The Company has developed a proprietary drug that is based on shRNA technology, which prevents NR2F6 from being expressed. By inhibiting the expression of NR2F6, immune cells that are treated with the NR2F6-blocking shRNA become highly activated and can efficiently kill tumors and tumors that have NR2F6 suppressed begin to differentiate.. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of this drug to optimize its delivery in vivo.
DuraCar: DuraCar is a new cellular therapy being developed by the Company. It is comprised of CAR-T cells which contain an shRNA targeting the gene NR2F6. CAR-T cells are T cells (the lymphoid cells of the body that kill tumors) isolated from a cancer patient that have been modified by expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which is specific for the patient’s tumor. These CAR-T cells are then re-infused back into the patient. The CAR-T cells then home in directly on the tumor because they have been given the tumor-specific address via the CAR. While CAR-T cells are very effective in treating leukemias, they are not effective at treating most solid tumors. The reason for this is believed to be that the CAR-T cells are “turned-off” by the physical environment surround solid tumors. By inhibiting NR2F6, we expect our DuraCar cells to have greater efficacy and persistence than conventional CAR-T cells and create a new, optimal way to manufacture CAR-T cells. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of this drug.
Experiments performed on behalf of the Company by two unrelated contract research organizations (CROs) found that T cells which express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct targeting CD19 and expressing siRNA for NR2F6 had high expression levels of NR2F6 mRNA. NR2F6 is considered an immune checkpoint and thus increasing its activity is likely to lead to immune suppression which may be utilized in the development of therapies for the treatment of autoimmune disorders.
8 |
Small molecule: We have identified and patented a series of small molecules which can both activate and inhibit NR2F6. NR2F6 normally acts as a brake on the ability of various immune cells from being activated and also allows tumor cells to keep growing. By inhibiting the function of NR2F6 using small molecules, immune cells that are treated with the NR2F6-blocking agents, similar to using the shRNA approach, should become highly activated and efficiently kill tumors. In addition, tumors that have NR2F6 blocked by using these small molecules should begin to differentiate. Conversely, activating NR2F6 is expected to suppress the immune system. This ability to suppress the immune system can be very useful for treating autoimmune disorders. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of these drugs.
None of the abovementioned statements regarding any of our products in development are intended to be a prediction or conclusion of efficacy. No clinical trials on our product candidates have commenced so no conclusions of efficacy can be made.

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a previously unapproved drug or biologic intended to treat a rare disease or condition, which is generally defined as a patient population of fewer than 200,000 individuals annually in the United States. Generally, if a product with an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first marketing approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to a seven year period of marketing exclusivity, which precludes the FDA from approving another marketing application for the same drug for that time period. The sponsor of the product would also be entitled to a United States federal tax credit equal to 50% of clinical investigation expenses as well as exemptions from certain fees.
The Company believes that this application of HemaXellerate qualifies for Orphan designation under the Orphan Drug Act due to the fact that aplastic anemia is a rare disease with prevalence in the United States of less than 200,000 and intends to apply to the FDA for Orphan designation for HemaXellerate.

On December 10, 2015 Regen was informed by the United States Food and Drug Administration that Regen has satisfactorily addressed all clinical hold issues related to Regen’s Investigational New Drug Application for HemaXellerate and may initiate a Phase I clinical trial assessing HemaXellerate in patients with drug-refractory aplastic anemia. The Phase I clinical trial is intended to determine safety and potential efficacy of intravenously administered autologous stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells in patients with severe, immune suppressive refractory aplastic anemia with the primary endpoints of safety and feasibility and secondary endpoints of efficacy as determined by patients having complete response, partial response or relapse.
The company is developing another cell therapy product termed dCellVax. dCellVax is intended to be a therapy whereby dendritic cells of the cancer patient are harvested from the body, treated with siRNA that has the ability to block the dendritic cell from expressing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (“IDO”) and subsequently reimplanted in the cancer patient.
The dendritic cells that are treated with the IDO-blocking RNA become resistant to the influence of tumor cells which produce factors which cause the dendritic cell to express the IDO. Expression of IDO in the dendritic cell halts the dendritic cell from activating T cells and causes the dendritic cell to suppress T cells. T lymphocytes (‘T cells”) are a lymphocyte that play a central role in the human immune system’s attempt to eradicate tumors. The Company has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to initiate a Phase I/II clinical trial assessing safety with signals of efficacy of the dCellVax gene-silenced dendritic cell immunotherapy for treating breast cancer. The proposed trial will recruit 10 patients with metastatic breast cancer and will involve 4 monthly injections of the dCellVax gene-silenced dendritic cell therapy. The trial is anticipated to cost $5,000,000 and last one year, with tumor assessment before therapy and at 6 and 12 months.
On May 12, 2021 the “Company executed a consulting agreement with Biotech Research Group Corporation, an FDA Specialist Group and Global Regulatory and Scientific Experts, for the purpose of review and guidance with regard to the planned reinstatement of the Company’s inactive Investigational New Drug applications (INDs) #15376 (HemaXellerate) and #16200 (dCellVax) filed with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The securing of the services to be provided to the Company pursuant to this consulting agreement marks the first step taken by the Company with regard to activating the Company’s currently inactive applications to initiate clinical trials.
Another cell therapy that focuses on a different mechanism of action than dCellVax is tCellVax. tCellVax is intended to be a therapy in which immune cells are removed from the cancer patient, treated with siRNA which inhibits NR2F6 and the cells re-infused to the patient. NR2F6 normally acts as a brake on the ability of various immune cells from being activated. The immune cells that are treated with the NR2F6-blocking siRNA become highly activated and can efficiently kill tumors. The Company has filed an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial assessing safety and feasibility of the dCellVax gene-silenced immune cell immunotherapy for treating patients with solid tumors that are metastatic or not able to be removed surgically. The proposed trial will recruit 25 patients with metastatic cancer and will involve 3 monthly injections of the dCellVax gene-silenced dendritic cell therapy. The trial is anticipated to cost $5,000,000 and last one year, with tumor assessment before therapy and at 6 and 12 months.
DiffronC: NR2F6 is a transcription factor that is present in many cells in the body, including immune cells but also highly expressed in certain solid tumors. NR2F6 normally acts as a brake on the ability of various immune cells from being activated and also allows tumor cells to keep growing. The Company has developed a proprietary drug that is based on shRNA technology, which prevents NR2F6 from being expressed. By inhibiting the expression of NR2F6, immune cells that are treated with the NR2F6-blocking shRNA become highly activated and can efficiently kill tumors and tumors that have NR2F6 suppressed begin to differentiate.. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of this drug to optimize its delivery in vivo. The two main risks associated with this drug development plan is that the NR2F6 siRNA is not effective at inhibiting NR2F6 expression or that this inhibition will not result in immune cells with enhanced tumoricidal activity.
DuraCar: DuraCar is a new cellular therapy being developed by the Company. It is comprised of CAR-T cells which contain an shRNA targeting the gene NR2F6. CAR-T cells are T cells (the lymphoid cells of the body that kill tumors) isolated from a cancer patient that have been modified by expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) which is specific for the patient’s tumor. These CAR-T cells are then re-infused back into the patient. The CAR-T cells then home in directly on the tumor because they have been given the tumor-specific address via the CAR. While CAR-T cells are very effective in treating leukemias, they are not effective at treating most solid tumors. The reason for this is believed to be that the CAR-T cells are “turned-off” by the physical environment surround solid tumors. By inhibiting NR2F6, we expect our DuraCar cells to have greater efficacy and persistence than conventional CAR-T cells and create a new, optimal way to manufacture CAR-T cells. We have engaged two contract research organizations to advance our pre-clinical testing of this drug. Pre-clinical testing includes design and construction of the relevant plasmids, efficient transfection of T cells, assessment of the expression levels of the siRNA directed at NR2F6 and measurement of its effectiveness at inhibition of NR2F6 expression. Then, these cells will be analyzed for enhanced tumor-killing activity. The two main risks associated with this drug development plan is that the NR2F6 siRNA is not effective at inhibiting NR2F6 expression or that this inhibition will not result in a T cell with enhanced tumoricidal activity. Successful completion of these pre-clinical experiments will significantly de-risk the project.
10 |
Experiments performed on behalf of the Company by two unrelated contract research organizations (CROs) found that T cells which express the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) construct targeting CD19 and expressing siRNA for NR2F6 had high expression levels of NR2F6 mRNA. NR2F6 is considered an immune checkpoint and thus increasing its activity is likely to lead to immune suppression which may be utilized in the development of therapies for the treatment of autoimmune disorders
Small Molecule Drugs: We have identified and patented a series of small molecules which can both activate and inhibit NR2F6. NR2F6 normally acts as a brake on the ability of various immune cells from being activated and also allows tumor cells to keep growing. By inhibiting the function of NR2F6 using small molecules, immune cells that are treated with the NR2F6-blocking agents, similar to using the shRNA approach, should become highly activated and efficiently kill tumors. In addition, tumors that have NR2F6 blocked by using these small molecules should begin to differentiate. Conversely, activating NR2F6 is expected to suppress the immune system. This ability to suppress the immune system can be very useful for treating autoimmune disorders. We are currently in pre-clinical testing of these drugs.
Distribution methods of the products or services:
It is anticipated that Regen and /or KCL will enter into licensing and/or sublicensing agreements with outside entities in order that Regen and/or KCL may obtain royalty income on the products and services which it may develop and commercialize.
Competitive business conditions and Regen’s competitive position in the industry and methods of competition
We have yet to achieve significant revenues or profits. The pharmaceutical and biologics industries in which we intend to compete are highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological advancement. Many of our competitors have greater resources than we do.
We intend to be competitive by utilizing the services and advice of individuals that we believe have expertise in their field in order that we can concentrate our resources on projects in which products and services in which we have the greatest potential to secure a competitive advantage may be developed and commercialized. The Company’s intent is to enter into nonemployee consulting agreements with individuals who we believe have a high level of expertise in their professional fields and who have agreed to provide counsel and assistance to us in (a) determining the viability of proposed projects (b) obtaining financing for projects and (c) obtaining the resources required to initiate and complete a project in the most cost effective and rapid manner.
Sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers
The supplies and materials required to conduct our operations are available through a wide variety of sources and may be obtained through a wide variety of sources.
Need for any government approval of principal products or services, effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business.
The US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and foreign regulatory authorities will regulate our proposed products as drugs or biologics, , depending upon such factors as the use to which the product will be put, the chemical composition, and the interaction of the product on the human body. In the United States, products that are intended to be introduced into the body will generally be regulated as drugs, while tissues and cells intended for transplant into the human body will be generally be regulated as biologics.

Our domestic human drug and biological products will be subject to rigorous FDA review and approval procedures. After testing in animals, an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) must be filed with the FDA to obtain authorization for human testing. Extensive clinical testing, which is generally done in three phases, must then be undertaken at a hospital or medical center to demonstrate optimal use, safety, and efficacy of each product in humans.
● | Phase I - Phase 1 trials are designed to assess the safety (pharmacovigilance), tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of a drug. These trials are often conducted in an inpatient clinic, where the subject can be observed by full-time staff. The subject who receives the drug is usually observed until several half-lives of the drug have passed. Phase I trials normally include dose-ranging, also called dose escalation, studies so that the appropriate dose for therapeutic use can be found. The tested range of doses usually are a fraction of the dose that causes harm in animal testing and involve a small group of healthy volunteers. However, there are some circumstances when real patients are used, such as patients who have end-stage disease and lack other treatment options. | |
● | Phase II - Phase II trials are designed to assess how well the drug or biologic works, as well as to continue Phase I safety assessments in a larger group of volunteers and patients. Phase II trials are performed on larger groups. | |
● | Phase III - Phase III trials are aimed at being the definitive assessment of how effective the product is in comparison with current best standard treatment and to provide an adequate basis for physician labeling. Phase III trials may also be conducted for the purposes of (i) “label expansion” (to show the product works for additional types of patients/diseases beyond the original use for which the drug was approved for marketing or (ii) to obtain additional safety data, or to support marketing claims for the product. | |
● | On occasion Phase IV (Post Approval) trials may be required by the FDA. Phase IV trials involve the safety surveillance (pharmacovigilance) and ongoing technical support of a drug after it receives permission to be sold.The safety surveillance is designed to detect any rare or long-term adverse effects over a much larger patient population and longer time period than was possible during the Phase I-III clinical trials. |
All phases must be undertaken at a hospital or medical center to demonstrate optimal use, safety, and efficacy of each product in humans. Each clinical study is conducted under the auspices of an independent Institutional Review Board (“IRB”). The IRB will consider, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects, and the possible liability of the institution. The time and expense required to perform this clinical testing can far exceed the time and expense of the research and development initially required to create the product. No action can be taken to market any therapeutic product in the United States until an appropriate New Drug Application (“NDA”) or Biologic License Application (“BLA”) or has been approved by the FDA. FDA regulations also restrict the export of therapeutic products for clinical use prior to NDA or BLA approval.
Even after initial FDA approval has been obtained, further studies may be required to provide additional data on safety or to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for clinical indications other than those initially targeted. In addition, use of these products during testing and after marketing could reveal side effects that could delay, impede, or prevent FDA marketing approval, resulting in FDA-ordered product recall, or in FDA-imposed limitations on permissible
The FDA regulates the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical products, and human tissue and cell products, requiring that they be produced in compliance with Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”). The FDA also regulates the content of advertisements used to market pharmaceutical products. Generally, claims made in advertisements concerning the safety and efficacy of a product, or any advantages of a product over another product, must be supported by clinical data filed as part of an NDA or an amendment to an NDA, and statements regarding the use of a product must be consistent with the FDA approved labeling and dosage information for that product.
Sales of drugs and biologics outside the United States are subject to foreign regulatory requirements that vary widely from country to country. Even if FDA approval has been obtained, approval of a product by comparable regulatory authorities of foreign countries must be obtained prior to the commencement of marketing the product in those countries. The time required to obtain such approval may be longer or shorter than that required for FDA approval

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market information
The Company’s common stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its sales person in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. So long as the common stock of the Company is subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell common stock of the Company.
Holders of Record
As of May 7, 2025, we had 482 holders of record of our Common Stock. As of May 7, 2025 there were approximately 479 holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide information necessary to understand our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and highlight certain other information which, in the opinion of management, will enhance a reader’s understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the discussion is intended to provide an analysis of significant trends and material changes in our financial position and the operating results of our business during the year ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and related notes included elsewhere in this 10-K. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains numerous forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks.
Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Regen Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Forward Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “seek,” “grow,” “target,” “if,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations, objectives, and financial needs.
Overview
We intend to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license, develop internally or acquire outright from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials. The primary factor to be considered by us in arriving at a decision to advance an application further to Phase III clinical trials would be a greater than anticipated indication of efficacy seen in Phase I trials.
As of May 7, 2024 we have not licensed any existing therapies which may be marketed.

Operating Expenses
Operating Expense were $417,221 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and $ 923,509 for the same period ended 2023. The primarily operating expense for 2024 consist of $ 363,961 to Consulting & Professional expenses and $ 153,695 to research and development expenses. In the same period in previous year Consulting and Professional fees expensed were $606,237 and research and development expenses amounted to $212,297.
Other Income
For the year ended 2024, the Company reported a net other expense of $(251,034), a substantial decline from the net other income of $1,843,456 in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the recognition of a Derivative Gain of $2.151, 755 in 2023 as opposed to a Derivative Loss of $(4,091) in recognized in 2024. Additionally, the Company recorded higher amortization of discount of $(28,998) related to debt instruments, compared to $(864) in the prior year. Interest expense also rose to $(72,445) due to increased borrowings, while financing fees decreased to $(145,500) as opposed to $(250,000) in 2023. Financing fees in both instances were attributable to Common Shares issued in conjunction with Promissory Notes.
The reduction in financing fees partially offset the rise in interest expenses and derivative losses, but the net impact was a significant decline in other income, highlighting the volatility associated with fair value remeasurements and debt-related costs.
Net Loss
The Company recognized an Operating Loss of $ 417,221 during the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 whereas the Company recognized an Operating Loss of $ 686,950 for the same period ended 2023. The reduction in operating loss is for the reduction of Consulting and Professional Fees services for the period.
Net Loss is $ 668,255 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024 as opposed to Net Income of 1,156,507 the difference primarily attributable to the recognition by the Company of Derivative Income of $ 2,151,755 during the twelve months ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $ 716 and net working capital of ($5,235,105)
The Company has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant professional costs to remain as a publicly traded company and it has incurred and expects to continue incur significant research & development cost for products development.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared as if the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of approximately $716 and an accumulated deficit of approximately $20.6 million. The Company has incurred recurring losses, experienced recurring negative operating cash flows, and requires significant cash resources to execute its business plans. The Company is dependent on obtaining additional working capital funding from the sale of equity and/or debt securities in order to continue to execute its development plans and continue operations. Without additional funding, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months from the date of these financial statements.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2024 the Company was not party to any binding agreements which would commit Regen to any material capital expenditures.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As we are a smaller reporting company, as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1), we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
The information called for by Item 8 is included following the “Index to Financial Statements” on page F-1 contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2024. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding any required disclosure.
Management has identified control deficiencies regarding inadequate accounting resources, the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting outsourced staff may prevent adequate controls in the future due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.
To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework. In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with GAAP.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
● | 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 our management and directors; and | |
● | 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. |
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the 2013 Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2024 our internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

Code of Ethics
On September 25, 2013 we adopted a Code of Ethics pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Director Independence
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The members of the Company’s board of Directors may not be considered independent. The Company is not a “listed company” under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and is therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. The Company does not currently have an audit committee, however, for certain purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors is deemed to be its audit committee and as such functions as an audit committee and performs some of the same functions as an audit committee including: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; and (3) engaging outside advisors. The Board of Directors has determined that its member is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in that member’s financial sophistication. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that its member has the sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations that an audit committee would have.
Nominating and Compensation Committees
The Company does not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. The board of directors believes that it is not necessary to have a compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by the board of directors. The board of directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a standing nominating committee because the board of directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee. The Company is not a “listed company” under SEC rules and is therefore not required to have a compensation committee or a nominating committee.
Shareholder Communications
There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the board of directors. Currently, the entire board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the board of directors followed by the board’s review of the candidates’ resumes and interview of candidates. Based on the information gathered, the board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. The Company does not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominee.
Because the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Board of Directors has determined not to adopt a formal methodology for communications from shareholders on the belief that any communication would be brought to the Board of Directors’ attention by virtue of the co-extensive capacities of the Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Director Independence
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company’s Board of Directors may not be considered independent as the sole director is also an officer. The Company is not a “listed company” under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and is therefore not required to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. The Company does not currently have an audit committee, however, for certain purposes of the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors is deemed to be its audit committee and as such functions as an audit committee and performs some of the same functions as an audit committee including: (1) selection and oversight of our independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; and (3) engaging outside advisors. The Board of Directors has determined that its members are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in the member’s financial sophistication. Accordingly, the Board of Directors believes that its members have the sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill the duties and obligations that an audit committee would have.
Nominating and Compensation Committees
The Company does not have standing nominating or compensation committees, or committees performing similar functions. The Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have a compensation committee at this time because the functions of such committee are adequately performed by the board of directors. The Board of Directors also is of the view that it is appropriate for the Company not to have a standing nominating committee because the Board of Directors has performed and will perform adequately the functions of a nominating committee. The Company is not a “listed company” under SEC rules and is therefore not required to have a compensation committee or a nominating committee.

Shareholder Communications
There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. There are no specific, minimum qualifications that the board of directors believes must be met by a candidate recommended by the board of directors. Currently, the entire board of directors decides on nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the board of directors followed by the board’s review of the candidates’ resumes and interview of candidates. Based on the information gathered, the board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. The Company does not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominee.
The Board of Directors has determined not to adopt a formal methodology for communications from shareholders on the belief that any communication would be brought to the board of directors’ attention by virtue of communication with management.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Regen Biopharma, Inc. and Subsidiary
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
● | Going Concern – As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has a going concern due to negative working capital and losses from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgment given the fact that the Company uses management estimates on future revenues and expenses, which are difficult to substantiate. To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure on going concern. | |
● | Valuation of Level 3 Investments Securities in Related Parties – As described in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company holds investment securities, including Level 3 securities whose fair values are based on significant unobservable inputs. The fair value of these securities was $17,733 and $222,580 as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Management uses valuation models and assumptions, including discount rates, projected cash flows, and market comparables, to estimate fair value. |
We identified the valuation of Level 3 investment securities as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgment required by management to estimate fair value and the high degree of estimation uncertainty. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and increased audit effort.
How the Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the valuation of Level 3 investment securities included, among others:
● | Testing management’s valuation process, including the review and approval of key assumptions and inputs. | |
● | Evaluating the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used by management. | |
● | Assessing the reasonableness of key assumptions, such as discount rates and projected cash flows, by comparing them to observable market data and industry benchmarks. | |
● | Reviewing subsequent events and transactions for evidence of fair value. |

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Regen Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized April 24, 2012 under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company intends to engage primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications which we intend to license from other entities up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and or Phase II clinical trials after which we would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials.
The Company is currently engaged in actively identifying small molecules that inhibit or express NR2F6 leading to immune cell activation for oncology applications and immune cell suppression for autoimmune disease.
The Company is in the early stages of development of its proposed products and therapies. The Company will be required to obtain approval from the FDA in order to market any of The Company’s products or therapies. No approval has been granted by the FDA for the marketing and sale of any of the Company’s products and therapies and no assurance may be given that any of the Company’s products or therapies will be granted such approval. The Company’s current plans include the development of regenerative medical applications up to the point of successful completion of Phase I and/ or Phase II clinical trials after which the Company would either attempt to sell or license those developed applications or, alternatively, advance the application further to Phase III clinical trials. The Company can provide no assurance that the Company will be able to sell or license any product or that, if such product is sold or licensed, such sale or license will be on terms favorable to the Company.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates,
among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had an accumulated
deficit of $
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the basis of accounting generally accepted in the United States of America. Under this basis of accounting, revenues are recorded as earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. The Company has adopted a September 30 year-end.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KCL Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Regen. Significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Such estimates include accounts receivables, accrued liabilities, income taxes, long-lived assets, and deferred tax valuation allowances. These estimates generally involve complex issues and require management to make judgments, involve analysis of historical and future trends that can require extended periods of time to resolve, and are subject to change from period to period. In all cases, actual results could differ materially from estimates.
F-8 |
Reverse Stock Split
On March 6, 2023, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of its issued Common Stock in the ratio of 1-for-1,500 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the total number of shares of common stock held by each shareholder was converted automatically into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to (i) the number of shares of common stock held by such shareholder immediately prior to the Reverse Split, divided by (ii) 1,500, and then rounded up to the nearest whole number. No fractional shares were issued, and no cash or other consideration was paid to any shareholder. Instead, the Company issued one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split common stock to any shareholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
Except for the Company’s historical financial statements and unless otherwise stated, all option, share, and per share information gives effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Segment Reporting
FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company’s management identifies operating segments based on how the Company’s management internally evaluate separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. At the current time, the Company has only one reportable segment, primarily in the development of regenerative medical applications.
The Company generates revenues from one geographic area, consisting of North America.
Advertising
Costs
associated with advertising are charged to expenses as incurred. Advertising expenses were $
Research and Development Cost
Research
and development (R&D) costs are expensed as incurred. R&D costs are related to the Company’s internally funded development
of the Company’s product developments and patents. The Company R&D costs were $
Revenue Recognition
Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon the prepayment or invoicing and shipment of products.
The Company determines the amount and timing of royalty revenue based on its contractual agreements with intellectual property licensees. The Company recognizes royalty revenue when earned under the terms of the agreements and when the Company considers realization of payment to be probable. Where royalties are based on a percentage of licensee sales of royalty-bearing products, the Company recognizes royalty revenue by applying this percentage to the Company’s estimate of applicable licensee sales. The Company bases this estimate on an analysis of each licensee’s sales results. Where warranted, revenue from licensees for contractual obligations such as License Initiation Fees are recognized upon satisfaction of all conditions required to be satisfied in order for that revenue to have been earned by the Company.
F-9 |
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASU 740, “Income Taxes”. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized as the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if based on the weight of available evidence it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company is subject to Income tax filings requirements in U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns for all years are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities.
The Company reports income tax related interest and penalties within the income tax line item on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company likewise reports the reversal of income tax-related interest and penalties within such line item to the extent the Company resolves the liabilities for uncertain tax positions in a manner favorable to the accruals.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. ASC 260 requires the presentation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective from inception.
Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair values of financial instruments reported in the consolidated financial statements have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies, as applicable. The fair value of cash due to its short maturity is classified as a Level 1 instrument within the fair value hierarchy.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Entities are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 — | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; | |
Level 2 — | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and | |
Level 3 — | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
As of September 30, 2024, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||
Investment Securities (Related Party) | $ |
As of September 30, 2023, the following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for items that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | ||||||||||
Investment Securities (Related Party) | $ |
F-10 |
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. In other words, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). No such losses were recorded during the year ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC Topic 718, Share-based Payment, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of stock options is calculated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula that requires estimates for expected volatility, expected dividends, the risk-free interest rate and the term of the option. If any of the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model change significantly, share-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost basis, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company is in a pre-revenue state and does not generate revenue and has no receivables from third party.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires incremental disclosure of segment information on an interim and annual basis. This ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements is required for public entities. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 as of January 1, 2024, which resulted in additional disclosures of significant segment expenses and other segment items as well as incremental qualitative disclosures.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

6. INVESTMENTS
The Company classifies its investment securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss), net of related tax effects, until realized. Realized gains and losses are recognized in earnings when the securities are sold, using the specific identification method. Declines in fair value judged to be other-than-temporary are recognized in earnings.
The Company evaluates its investment portfolio for credit losses on a quarterly basis. If a decline in fair value below amortized cost is determined to be credit-related and the Company does not intend to sell the security, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the expected credit loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit portion is recorded in other comprehensive income.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company determined that no allowance for credit losses was required for its available-for-sale securities. Fair value measurements are categorized based on the inputs used to determine fair value. The fair values of the Company’s AFS securities are primarily based on Level 3 inputs.
The Company also holds investments in certain privately held equity securities that do not have a readily determinable fair value and are not accounted for under the equity method. These securities are measured at cost, less impairment (if any), and adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments.
As
of September 30 , 2024 and 2023, the carrying amount of such investments was $
The fair value of Level 3 investments is based on valuation models that include unobservable inputs such as projected cash flows, market comparables, and management assumptions. These valuations require significant judgment and estimation by management.

As of September 30 2023 the Company has a Deferred Tax Asset of $
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carry forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. The achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain.
A corporation is considered to undergo “an ownership change” if, as a result of changes in the stock ownership by “5-percent shareholders” or as a result of certain reorganizations, the percentage of the corporation’s stock owned by those 5-percent shareholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of stock owned by those shareholders at any time during the prior three-year testing period. Five-percent shareholders are persons who hold 5% or more of the stock of a corporation at any time during the testing period as well as certain groups of shareholders (based typically on whether they acquired their shares in a single offering or exchange transaction) who are not individually 5-percent shareholders.
As the Company will require cash infusions in order to implement its business plan, and as it is probable, although not guaranteed, that such funding needs may be met through the sale of equity securities to “5-percent shareholders”, the Company recognized a valuation allowance equal to the deferred Tax Asset and the Company recorded a valuation allowance reducing all deferred tax assets to .
