Actual results of the Company could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.

PetVivo Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION

 

(A) Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures, which are included in annual financial statements, have been omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. We believe the disclosures made in these interim unaudited financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.

 

Although these interim financial statements at September 30, 2016 and for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited, in the opinion of our management, such statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended March 31, 2017 or for any future period.

 

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read and considered in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended March 31, 2016, included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

 

PetVivo Inc. was originally incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota on August 1, 2013. The financials are the result of a merger between Technologies Scan Corp., a corporation incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 31, 2009, now known as PetVivo Holdings, Inc., and PetVivo Inc. For accounting purposes the Company is treating the merger as a reverse merger whereby the financials presented are those of the surviving entity that, which is PetVivo Holdings, Inc. The merger was completed on April 10, 2017.

 

PetVivo is in the business of distribution of medical devices and biomaterials for the treatment of afflictions and diseases in animals.

 

On April 10, 2015 the Company agreed to acquire Gel-Del Technologies. The Issuances of the shares to consummate the transaction has been finalized and the financials presented are those of the consolidated entities.

 

(B) Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PetVivo Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned operating subsidiary, PetVivo Inc. as well as its variable interest entity (VIE) Gel-Del Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiary, Cosmeta Corp. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

The consolidation including the VIE is included since PetVivo controls Gel-Del as well as the fact that an agreement for its acquisition has occurred.

 

The accounting for the acquisition of Gel-Del Technologies begun with the closing of the Security Exchange Agreement on April 10, 2015 and completed with the Agreement and Plan of Merger on April 10, 2017 was as follows:

 

The Company will issue 5,450,000 shares valued at market at $0.40 per share, which equaled $2,180,000 on the date of completion (April 10, 2017).

 

(C) 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 estimated useful lives and potential impairment of property and equipment, estimate of fair value of share based payments and derivative instruments and recorded debt discount, valuation of deferred tax assets and valuation of in-kind contribution of services and interest.

(D) 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. At September 30, 2016, and March 31, 2016, the Company had no cash equivalents.

 

(E) Concentration-Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with various financial institutions, which may exceed federally insured limits throughout the period.

 

(F) Machinery & Equipment

 

Machinery and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of furniture fixtures and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful life of five (3) years for equipment, (5) years for automobile, and (7) years for furniture and fixtures.  Upon sale or retirement of computer equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations.

 

(G) Patents and Trademarks

 

The company capitalizes direct costs for their maintenance and advancement of their patents and trademarks and amortizes these costs over a useful life of 60 months.

 

(H) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, formerly SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, as clarified by ASC Topic 740, formerly FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, ("FIN No. 48"). 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.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740, formerly FIN No. 48 on January 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by ASC Topic 450, formerly FIN No. 48, 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. At the adoption date, the Company applied ASC Topic 740, formerly FIN No. 48 to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of ASC Topic 740, formerly FIN No. 48, the Company did not recognize any change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

 

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.

Table of Contents

 

(I) Loss Per Share

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 260, "Earnings 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.

 

(J) Revenue Recognition

 

The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, "Revenue Recognition". In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues consist of Kush product sales to veterinary clinics.

 

(K) Research and Development

 

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

 

(L) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company applies the accounting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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:

 

·

Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

·

Level 2 - inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities 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.

·

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.

Table of Contents

 

The Company's financial instruments consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, notes payable - related party, loan payable - related party and convertible notes payable. The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments approximates their fair value as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

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 notes 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 September 30, 2016:

 

The following liabilities were measured on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing significant unobservable inputs or Level 3 assumptions in their valuation. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the liabilities:

(M) Embedded Conversion Features

 

The Company evaluates embedded conversion features within convertible debt under ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" to determine whether the embedded conversion feature(s) should be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for as a derivative at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. If the conversion feature does not require derivative treatment under ASC 815, the instrument is evaluated under ASC 470-20 "Debt with Conversion and Other Options" for consideration of any beneficial conversion features.

Table of Contents

 

(N) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments, and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives. In addition, the fair value of freestanding derivative instruments such as warrants, are also valued using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

(O) Beneficial Conversion Feature

 

For conventional convertible debt where the rate of conversion is below market value, the Company records a "beneficial conversion feature" ("BCF") and related debt discount.

 

When the Company records a BCF, the relative fair value of the BCF is recorded as a debt discount against the face amount of the respective debt instrument (offset to additional paid in capital) and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt.

 

(P) Debt Issue Costs and Debt Discount

 

The Company may record debt issue costs and/or debt discounts in connection with raising funds through the issuance of debt. These costs may be paid in the form of cash, or equity (such as warrants). These costs are amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. If a conversion of the underlying debt occurs, a proportionate share of the unamortized amounts is immediately expensed.

 

(Q) 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 guidance of Sub-topic 505-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("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. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the use of share prices established in the Company's most recent private placement memorandum ("PPM"), or weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

 

 
11
 
Table of Contents

 

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:

 

·

Expected term of share options and similar instruments: Pursuant to Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(i) of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the expected term of share options and similar instruments represents the period of time the options and similar instruments are expected to be outstanding taking into consideration of the contractual term of the instruments and holder's expected exercise behavior into the fair value (or calculated value) of the instruments. The Company uses historical data to estimate holder's expected exercise behavior. If the Company is a newly formed corporation or shares of the Company are thinly traded the contractual term of the share options and similar instruments is used as the expected term of share options and similar instruments as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term.

·

Expected volatility of the entity's shares and the method used to estimate it. Pursuant to ASC Paragraph 718-10-50-2(f)(2)(ii) a thinly-traded or nonpublic entity that uses the calculated value method shall disclose the reasons why it is not practicable for the Company to estimate the expected volatility of its share price, the appropriate industry sector index that it has selected, the reasons for selecting that particular index, and how it has calculated historical volatility using that index. The Company uses the average historical volatility of the comparable companies over the expected contractual life of the share options or similar instruments as its expected volatility. If shares of a company are thinly traded the use of weekly or monthly price observations would generally be more appropriate than the use of daily price observations as the volatility calculation using daily observations for such shares could be artificially inflated due to a larger spread between the bid and asked quotes and lack of consistent trading in the market.

·

Expected annual rate of quarterly dividends. An entity that uses a method that employs different dividend rates during the contractual term shall disclose the range of expected dividends used and the weighted-average expected dividends. The expected dividend yield is based on the Company's current dividend yield as the best estimate of projected dividend yield for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

·

Risk-free rate(s). An entity that uses a method that employs different risk-free rates shall disclose the range of risk-free rates used. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for periods within the expected term of the share options and similar instruments.

 

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 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.

 

Pursuant to ASC paragraph 505-50-30-S99-1, if the Company receives a right to receive future services in exchange for unvested, forfeitable equity instruments, those equity instruments are treated as unissued for accounting purposes until the future services are received (that is, the instruments are not considered issued until they vest). Consequently, there would be no recognition at the measurement date and no entry should be recorded.

(R) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update "ASU" 2014-15 on "Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". Currently, there is no guidance in U.S. GAAP about management's responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this Update provide that guidance. In doing so, the amendments are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management's plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management's plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). We are currently reviewing the provisions of this ASU to determine if there will be any impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

 

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

 *As of September 7, 2017, Gel-Del Technologies, Inc. was delinquent in the monthly payments of the Bank Credit Line and a Bank Credit Card through the same banking institution. The Company is in discussions with the bank regarding assuming and/or restructuring the Bank Credit Line having an outstanding balance of $50,000 and the Bank Credit Card having an outstanding balance of $10,000; both were originally incurred by Gel-Del Technologies, Inc. There are no assurances that the Company can restructure this note on favorable terms, if at all.

 

The Company has a bank credit line of $75,000. At September 30, 2016 there was $8,613. of unused credit. Interest is at 6.5%. As mentioned above, as of September 7, 2017, the Company is in discussions with the bank regarding assuming and/or restructuring the Bank Credit Line, which was originally incurred by Gel-Del Technologies, Inc.

 

The Company is indebted on a note bearing interest at prime plus 5.5% to a bank with a monthly payment of $2,786 and expiring in January, 2017. All assets of Gel-Del are pledged as collateral. On February 23, 2017, the Company paid this note in full and received a release of the collateral pledge in all assets of Gel-Del.

 

NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN

 

As reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements, the Company had no Significant revenue and had a negative equity and material losses. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management intends to raise additional funds either through a private placement or through the public process. 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 the viability 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 generate funds.

 

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

NOTE 7  - AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

 

The Agreement and Plan of Merger was completed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, PetVivo Holdings Newco Inc. (“Newco”) and Gel-Del (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement, the Company effected a statutory merger transaction resulting in an exchange by the shareholders of Gel-Del on a pro rata basis of 100% of all outstanding Gel-Del capital stock in exchange for 5,540,000 shares of our restricted common stock, which represented approximately 30% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock post-merger.

 

On April 10, 2017, the Merger Agreement was consummated and the Company completed the acquisition of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Gel-Del from the Gel-Del shareholders. The acquisition was completed and consummated through a statutory merger between Gel-Del and NewCo, which resulted in Gel-Del being the surviving entity and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Merger Agreement became effective upon the filing with the Secretary of State of Minnesota on April 10, 2017. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger Agreement, each share of Gel-Del common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement was converted into the right to receive 0.788 common share of the Company. Gel-Del did not have any outstanding options, warrants or other derivative securities or rights convertible into securities.

Through this Merger Agreement, the company acquired all of Gel-Del's technology and related patents and other intellectual property (IP) and production techniques, as well as Gel-Del's modern and secure biomedical product manufacturing facilities being jointly constructed by Gel-Del and the Company in Edina, Minnesota.

 

In view of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, the shares of common stock were issued on or about September 5, 2017.

 

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Effective March 8, 2017, four officers/directors of the Company agreed to cash settlements in lieu of a total of $1,209,919 past due compensation owed to them by the Company and subsequently converted the cash settlements into a total of 2,100,128 restricted shares of common stock of the Company; these restricted shares were issued on June 8, 2017.

 

John Lai and John Dolan each agreed to cash settlements of $43,625 for $174,500 of their past due compensation, which was subsequently converted into a total of 1,308,750 restricted shares of PetVivo Holdings common stock. Regarding John Lai, his converted shares were offset and reduced by 500,000 shares incident to a former escrow arrangement, resulting in Mr. Lai receiving 154,375 shares through this transaction.

 

David Masters agreed to a cash settlement of $45,591.90 for $455,919 of his past due compensation and subsequently converted the cash settlement into 683,878 shares.

 

Randall Meyer agreed to a cash settlement of $40,500 for $405,000 of his past due compensation and subsequently converted the cash settlement into 607,500 shares.

 

All of the foregoing securities issuances were unregistered and made by the Company as non-public transactions, and accordingly exempt from registration in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

On April 10, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of common stock of Gel-Del Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Gel-Del”). This acquisition was completed and closed through a statutory merger between Gel-Del and Pet-Vivo Holdings Newco, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, resulting in Gel-Del being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PetVivo (“the Merger”). The Merger became effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of Minnesota on April 10, 2017.

 

Upon the effectiveness of the Merger, each share of Gel-Del common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.788 common share of the Company. Gel-Del had no outstanding options, warrants or other derivative securities or rights convertible into its securities.

 

As a result of the Merger, the Company issued a total of 5,450,000 shares of its unregistered common stock to the pre-merger shareholders of Gel-Del common stock. The issuance of these shares of common stock of PetVivo is unregistered in reliance upon an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Effective April 10, 2017, the Stock Exchange Agreement dated November 21, 2014 between PetVivo and Gel-Del was terminated since that agreement became moot and superseded upon the effectiveness of the Merger.

On April 10 2017, the Company completed the Merger with Gel-Del and in the process recognized that the Company realized a loss of $14,081,031 due to the change in the valuation of Gel-Del capital stock received by the Company pursuant to the original Securities Exchange Agreement transaction dated November 24, 2014 and the valuation of the Gel-Del capital stock received by the Company’s upon the completion of the Merger on April 10, 2017. The completion of the Merger required the transfer of all issued capital stock in Gel-Del to the Company in exchange for 5,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The closing market price per share of the Company on April 10, 2017 was $0.40 for a total aggregate stock exchange amount of $2,180,000 rather than the amount originally recorded for this securities exchange which was $16,600,000.The Company has addressed this issue by recognizing an impairment of Goodwill in the amount of $13,407,693 in the September 30, 2016 financial statements. The Company further recognized a realized loss on the sale of Gel-Del to PetVivo in the amount of $14,081,031 and a reduction in Trademarks and Patents-Net in the amount of $673,340.

 

On June 26, 2017 , the management and Board of Directors determined that the past due compensation that was used to calculate settlement cash payments for four officers of the Company and which was subsequently converted to 2,100,128 restricted shares of common stock of the Company on March 8, 2017, was inconsistent with the accrued compensation amount recorded in the official accounting books of the Company. Therefore, the Board of Directors and four officers agreed that the cash settlements owed to each officer and corresponding number of shares issued pursuant to the Settlement Agreements be adjusted in view of the actual booked accrued compensation for the period ending December 31, 2016. The accrued compensation, settlement amounts and conversion shares granted for each of the four officers were adjusted as follows:

 

David Masters agreed to an adjusted cash settlement of $30,750 for $307,500 of his past due compensation and subsequently converted the adjusted cash settlement into 461,250 shares.

 

Randall Meyer agreed to an adjusted cash settlement of $30,750 for $307,500 of his past due compensation and subsequently converted the adjusted cash settlement into 461,250 shares.

 

John F. Dolan agreed to an adjusted cash settlement of $33,068.50 for $132,274 of his past due compensation and subsequently converted the adjusted cash settlement into 496,028 shares.

 

John Lai agreed to a cash settlement of $29,979 for $119,918 of his past due compensation and subsequently converted the adjusted cash settlement into 449,692 shares.

 

Effective July 17, 2017 , the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Wesley C. Hayne as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PetVivo Holdings, Inc. to succeed John Lai who served as CEO of the Company since 2013. Concurrently, Mr. Lai was appointed President of the Company to succeed Dr. David B. Masters.

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

 

GENERAL

 

We were incorporated as Pharmascan Corp. in the State of Nevada on March 31, 2009. On September 21, 2010, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and changed our name to Technologies Scan Corp. On April 1, 2014, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation and changed our name to "PetVivo Holdings, Inc." (the "Name Change").

 

We filed appropriate documents with FINRA to effect the Name Change. On April 29, 2014, our Name Change from Technologies Scan Corp to "PetVivo Holdings, Inc." was declared effective by FINRA and our common stock's trading symbol was changed to "PETV". Our cusip number is 716817 200.

 

SUBSIDIARIES

 

PetVivo, Inc.

 

On March 11, 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the execution of that certain securities exchange agreement dated March 11, 2014 (the "Securities Exchange Agreement") with PetVivo Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("PetVivo"), and the shareholders of PetVivo who hold of record the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of PetVivo (the "PetVivo Shareholders"). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Securities Exchange Agreement, we will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of PetVivo from the PetVivo Shareholders, thus making PetVivo our wholly owned subsidiary, in exchange for the issuance to the PetVivo Shareholders of an aggregate 4,621,880 shares of our restricted common stock.

 

PetVivo was founded in 2013 by its current management, John Lai and John Dolan, and is based in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota. PetVivo is a biomedical device company engaged in the business of acquiring/in-licensing and adapting human biomedical technology and products for commercial sale in the veterinary market to treat pets and other animals suffering from arthritis and other painful afflictions. PetVivo's initial product, which is now being commercialized, is a medical device featuring the injections of patented gel-like protein-based biomaterials into the afflicted body parts of pets and other animals suffering from osteoarthritis. PetVivo obtained the exclusive rights for commercialization of this product from Gel-Del for the treatment of pets and other animals.

 

Gel-Del Technologies Inc.

 

On November 21, 2014, we entered into a stock exchange agreement (the "Stock Exchange Agreement") with Gel-Del Technologies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation ("Gel-Del"). Effective April 10, 2017, the Stock Exchange Agreement was terminated based on consummation of merger between the Company and Gel-Del. Therefore, the Stock Exchange Agreement was deemed null and void and superseded by the merger agreement discussed below.

 

Gel-Del is a biomaterial and medical device development and manufacturing company with its offices and production facilities based in St. Paul, Minnesota, and was founded in 1999 by its chief executive officer, Dr. David B. Masters. Dr. Masters developed Gel-Del's proprietary biomaterials that simulate a body's cellular tissue and thus can be readily and effectively utilized to manufacture implantable therapeutic medical devices. The chief advantage of Gel-Del biomaterials is their enhanced biocompatibility with living tissues throughout the body. We are commercializing their technology in the veterinary field for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Gel-Del has also successfully completed a pivotal clinical trial using their novel thermoplastic biomaterial as a dermal filler for human cosmetic applications. Gel-Del’s core competencies are developing and manufacturing medical devices containing its proprietary thermoplastic protein-based biomaterials that mimic the body's tissue to allow integration, tissue repair, and regeneration for long-term implantation. These biomaterials are produced using a patented and scalable self-assembly production process. The inherent thermoplastic properties of these biomaterials are then utilized to manufacture or coat implantable devices.

 

While working together relating to their licensing agreement, in early 2014 our management and the management of Gel-Del determined to combine the two companies into one business entity producing, marketing and selling medical products based on Gel-Del technology for both humans and animals.

License Agreement

 

On August 2, 2013, we entered into that certain licensing agreement with Gel-Del (the "License Agreement"), pursuant to which Gel-Del intends to engage in the manufacture and supply of products derived from technology, including protein based biomaterials and devices which management believes will be beneficial for the veterinary treatment of animals having joint afflictions. We previously paid to Gel-Del an aggregate $488,000. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the License Agreement was cancelled based upon the execution and terms and provisions of the Stock Exchange Agreement.

 

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

 

On March 20, 2017, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with our wholly-owend subsidiary, PetVivo Holdings Newco Inc. (“Newco”) and Gel-Del (the “Merger Agreement”). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement, we effected a statutory merger transaction resulting in an exchange by the shareholders of Gel-Del on a pro rata basis of 100% of all outstanding Gel-Del capital stock in exchange for 5,450,000 shares of our restricted common stock, which represented approximately 30% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock post-merger.

 

We and Gel-Del have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including conducting our respective businesses in the ordinary course until consummation of the merger, not to take or engage in certain material kinds of transactions prior to consummation of the merger, and obtaining all consents and approvals necessary to complete and consummate the merger. The Merger Agreement also includes certain termination rights, including us having the right to terminate the merger if Gel-Del shareholders did not approved the merger prior to April 15, 2017.

 

On April 10, 2017, the Merger Agreement was consummated and we completed the acquisition of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Gel-Del from the Gel-Del shareholders. The acquisition was completed and consummated through a statutory merger between Gel-Del and NewCo, which resulted in Gel-Del being the surviving entity and becoming our wholly-owned subsidiary. The Merger Agreement became effective upon the filing with the Secretary of State of Minnesota on April 10, 2017. Upon the effectiveness of the Merger Agreement, each share of Gel-Del common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger Agreement was converted into the right to receive 0.798 common share of the Company. Gel-Del did not have any outstanding options, warrants or other derivative securities or rights convertible into securities.

 

In accordance with this merger transaction, we acquired all Gel-Del technology and related patents and other intellectual property (IP) and production techniques, as well as Gel-Del's modern and secure biomedical product manufacturing facilities being jointly constructed in Edina, Minnesota.

 

Reason For Merger Agreement

 

Gel-Del is a biomaterial and medical device development and manufacturing company with its offices and production facilities based in St. Paul, Minnesota, and was founded in 1999 by its chief executive officer, Dr. David B. Masters. Dr. Masters developed Gel-Del's proprietary biomaterials that simulate a body's cellular tissue and thus can be readily and effectively utilized to manufacture implantable therapeutic medical devices.

We were founded in 2013 by our current management, John Lai and John Dolan, and based in suburban Minneapolis, Minnesota. We are a biomedical device company, which has been primarily engaged in the business of adapting human biomedical technology for products to be introduced for commercial sale in the veterinary market to treat pets and other animals suffering from arthritis and other painful afflictions. Our initial product, now being commercialized, is a medical device featuring injections of patented gel-like biomaterials into the afflicted body parts of pets or other animals suffering from osteoarthritis. The technology and manufacturing capability of this product was developed by Gel-Del and licensed to us for use to treat dogs and other animals, but not for treatment of human afflictions. While working together relating to this license agreement, we and Gel-Del determined to combine our two companies through a stock exchange merger for the purpose of creating one combined entity utilizing Gel-Del technology to produce, market and sell medical products based on Gel-Del technology for both animals and humans. After lengthy negotiations during 2014, the parties have entered into a definitive agreement for this merger.

 

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

We are an emerging biomedical device company focused on the licensing and commercialization of innovative medical devices and therapeutics for pets, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We operate in the $15 billion US veterinary care market that has grown at a CAGR of 6.4% over the past five years according to the American Pet Products Association. Despite the market size, veterinary clinics and hospitals have very few treatments and/or drugs for use in pets and other animals.

 

The role of pets in the family has greatly evolved in recent years. Many pet owners consider their pets an important member of the family. They are now willing to spend greater amounts of money on their pets to maintain their health and quality of life.

 

We intend to leverage investments already expended in the development of human therapeutics to commercialize treatments for pets in a capital and time efficient way. A key component of this strategy is the accelerated timeline to revenues for veterinary medical devices, which enter the market earlier than the more stringently regulated veterinary pharmaceuticals or human therapeutics.

 

The company is planning to aggressively launch its lead product Kush  Canine in Q4 2017. Kush  Canine is a veterinarian-administered joint injection for the treatment of osteoarthritis in dogs. The Kush Canine device is made from natural components that are lubricious and cushioning to perform like cartilage for the treatment of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.

 

We believe that Kush Canine is a superior treatment that safely improves joint function. The reparative Kush Canine particles are lubricious, cushioning and long lasting. The spongy protein-based particles in Kush Canine mimic the composition and protective function of cartilage (i.e., providing both a slippery cushion and healing scaffolding). The Kush Canine particles protect the joint as an artificial cartilage.

 

Using industry sources we estimate osteoarthritis afflicts 20 million owned dogs in the United States and the European Union, making canine osteoarthritis a $2.3 billion market opportunity.

 

Osteoarthritis is a condition with degenerating cartilage, creating joint stiffness from mechanical stress resulting in inflammation and pain. The lameness caused by osteoarthritis worsens with time from the ongoing loss of protective cushion and lubricity (i.e., loss of slippery padding). There is no current treatment for osteoarthritis, only palliative pain therapy or joint replacement.

 

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) are used to alleviate the pain and inflammation, but long-term use has been shown to cause gastric problems. NSAIDS do not treat the cartilage degeneration issue to halt or slow the progression of the osteoarthritis condition.

 

We believe that our Kush Canine osteoarthritis treatment is far superior to current methodology of using NSAID's. NSAID's have many side effects, especially in canines, whereas the company's injected Kush Canine treatment has been found to elicit no adverse side effects. Remarkably, Kush treated dogs show an increase in activity even after they no longer are receiving pain drugs.

 

No special training is required for the administration of the Kush Canine devices. The treatment is injected into synovial joint space using standard intra-articular injection technique and multiple joints can be treated simultaneously. Kush Canine immediately treats the effects of osteoarthritis and no special post treatment care is required.

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 recently started filling veterinary prescriptions. Veterinary practices are looking for ways to replace the lost prescription revenues. Our treatments expand practice revenues & margins because they are veterinarian-administered. Our Kush Canine device is veterinarian-administered to expand practice revenues and margins. We believe that the increased revenues and margins provided by Kush Canine will accelerate its adoption rate and propel it forward as the standard of care for canine osteoarthritis.

 

Our product launch schedule includes at least two additional product releases in 2017 and 2018. Our Kush Equine device for the treatment of equine lameness related to or impacting synovial joints is scheduled for launch in Q4 2017. The Kush Equine product has similar features and benefits as our Kush Canine device. In addition to being a treatment for osteoarthritis, the joint cushioning and lubricity effects of our devices have shown an ability to treat equine lameness that is due to navicular disease (a problem associated with misalignment of joints and bones in the hoof and digits). We anticipate launching our Kush Digital Cushion (DC) device for the treatment of navicular disease in 2018.

 

Based on a variety of industry sources we estimate that 1 million owned horses in the United Stated and European Union suffer from lameness and/or navicular disease each year, making the equine lameness and navicular disease market an annual opportunity worth $600 million.

 

Our current pipeline includes 17 therapeutic devices for both veterinary and human clinical applications. We anticipate growing our product pipeline through the acquisition or in-licensing of additional proprietary products from human medical device companies specifically for use in pets. In addition to commercializing our own products in strategic market sectors and in view of the Company's vast proprietary product pipeline, the Company anticipates establishing strategic out-licensing partnerships to provide secondary revenues.

 

We plan to commercialize our products in the United States through distribution relationships supported by regional and national distributors and complemented by the use of social media educating and informing the pet owners, and in Europe and rest of world through commercial partners.

 

Most veterinarians in the United States buy a majority of their equipment and supplies from one of six veterinary products distributors. Combined these six distributors deliver more than 85%, by revenue, of the products sold to companion animal veterinarians in the U.S. Our product distribution will leverage the existing supply chain and veterinary clinic and clinician relationships already established by these large distributors. We plan to support this distribution channel with regional sales representatives. Our representatives will support our distributors and the veterinary clinics and hospitals. We will also target pet owners with product education and treatment awareness campaigns utilizing a variety of social media tools. The unique nature and the anticipated benefits provided by our products are expected to generate significant consumer response.

 

Gel-Del Particles have been through a human trial and have been classified as a medical device. The FDA does not require submission of a 510(k) or formal pre-market approval for medical devices used in veterinary medicine. We anticipate initial commercial production and sales in 2016. We anticipate selling through existing veterinary distributors.

We are a development stage company and have not generated any significant revenue. We have incurred recurring losses since inception. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.

For Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2015

 

Total Revenues.  For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, revenues decreased from $75,000 to $4,916. For the six-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, we did not generate any cost of sales. Revenues consist of Kush product sales to veterinary clinics.

 

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 were $15,219,848 compared to $1,272,079 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $13,947,769. For the six-month period ended September 30, 2016, we incurred: (i) research and development of $75,043 (2015: $104,943); and (ii) general and administrative of $15,144,805 (2015: $1,167,136). The major differences in general and administrative expenses were reductions in 2016 related to reductions in Goodwill and Trademarks and Patents-Net. General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, and consulting costs. Operating expenses increased during the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015 due to the increase in general and administrative costs of $13,977,699, which was primarily related to decreases in Goodwill and Trademarks and Patents-Net. Our research and development also decreased by $29,900.

 

We consummated the Merger Agreement with Gel-Del and in the process recognized that we realized a loss of $14,081,031 due to the change in the valuation of Gel-Del capital stock received by us pursuant to the original Securities Exchange Agreement transaction dated November 24, 2014 and the valuation of the Gel-Del capital stock received by us upon the completion of the Merger Agreement on April 10, 2017. The completion of the Merger Agreement required the transfer of all issued capital stock in Gel-Del to us in exchange for 5,450,000 shares of our common stock. The closing market price per share of our common stock on April 10, 2017 was $0.40 for a total aggregate stock exchange amount of $2,180,000 rather than the amount originally recorded for the Stock Exchange Agreement, which was $16,600,000. We addressed this issue by recognizing an impairment of Goodwill in the amount of $13,407,693. We further recognized a realized loss on the sale of Gel-Del to PetVivo in the amount of $14,081,031 and a reduction in Trademarks and Patents-Net in the amount of $673,340.

 

Thus, our operating loss for the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 was ($15,214,932) compared to an operating loss of ($1,197,079) for the six-month period ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $14,017,853.

Based primarily on our decrease in operating expenses during the six-month period ended September 30, 2016, our net loss increased also based on the increase of other expenses primarily due to the reduction of Goodwill in the amount of $13,407,693.

 

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2016, we further incurred a loss of $547,702 (2015: $175,556) relating to a loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Thus, our net loss attributable to PetVivo during the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 was ($14,809,786) or ($1.65) per share compared to net loss attributable to PetVivo during the six-month period ended September 30, 2015 of ($1,810,866) or ($0.23) per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the six-month period ended September 30, 2016 was 8,958,410 compared to 7,791,872 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2015.

General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, and consulting costs. Operating expenses increased during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 compared to September 30, 2015 due to the increase in general and administrative costs of $14,533,570, which was primarily related to decreases in Goodwill and Trademarks and Patents-Net. Our research and development also decreased by $22,039.

 

We consummated the Merger Agreement with Gel-Del and in the process recognized that we realized a loss of $14,081,031 due to the change in the valuation of Gel-Del capital stock received by us pursuant to the original Securities Exchange Agreement transaction dated November 24, 2014 and the valuation of the Gel-Del capital stock received by us upon the completion of the Merger Agreement on April 10, 2017.

Net Loss. Therefore, our net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 was ($14,747,033) as compared to a net loss of ($533,061) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015. Based primarily on our decrease in operating expenses during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, our net loss increased also based on the increase of other expenses primarily due to the reduction of Goodwill in the amount of $13,407,693.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2016, we further incurred a loss of $268,595 (2015: $116,260) relating to a loss attributable to non-controlling interest. Thus, our net loss attributable to PetVivo during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 was ($14,478,438) or ($1.60) per share compared to net loss attributable to PetVivo during the three-month period ended September 30, 2015 of ($436,801) or ($0.06) per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 was 9,023,564 compared to 7,795,824 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2015.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

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 March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 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. We have suffered recurring losses from operations, have a working capital deficit and are currently in default of the payment terms of certain note agreements. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse change in foreign currency and interest rates.

 

Exchange Rate

 

Our reporting currency is United States Dollars ("USD"). In the event we acquire any properties outside of the United States, the fluctuation of exchange rates may have positive or negative impacts on our results of operations.

 

Interest Rate

 

I nterest rates in the United States are generally stable. Any potential future loans will relate mainly to acquisition of properties and will be mainly short-term. However, our debt may be likely to rise in connection with expansion and if interest rates were to rise at the same time, this could have a significant impact on our operating and financing activities. We have not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks for speculative purposes.

 

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.

Management's report on internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, 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 and 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 management and our 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 its inherent limitations, our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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 chief executive officer and our chief financial officer assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO 2013") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

 

Based on our assessment, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer believe that, as of September 30, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting is not effective based on those criteria, due to the following:

 

·

Deficiencies in Segregation of Duties. Lack of proper segregation of functions, duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the disbursements related thereto due to our very limited staff, including our accounting personnel.

·

Deficiencies in the staffing of our financial accounting department. The number of qualified accounting personnel with experience in public company SEC reporting and GAAP is limited. This weakness does not enable us to maintain adequate controls over our financial accounting and reporting processes regarding the accounting for non-routine and non-systematic transactions. There is a risk that a material misstatement of the financial statements could be caused, or at least not be detected in a timely manner, by this shortage of qualified resources.

 

In light of this conclusion and as part of the preparation of this report, we have applied compensating procedures and processes as necessary to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting. Accordingly, management believes, based on its knowledge, that (1) this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material face necessary to make the statements made not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report, and (2) the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the years and periods then ended.

 

This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this report.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

 

There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of the year ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

Our board of directors has not established an audit committee. The respective role of an audit committee has been conducted by our board of directors. We intend to establish an audit committee during the fiscal year 2017/2018. When established, the audit committee's primary function will be to provide advice with respect to our financial matters and to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, and legal compliance. The audit committee's primary duties and responsibilities will be to: (i) serve as an independent and objective party to monitor our financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) review and appraise the audit efforts of our independent accountants; (iii) evaluate our quarterly financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (iv) oversee management's establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (v) provide an open avenue of communication among the independent accountants, management and our Board of Directors.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving our properties or us. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding, or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against our properties or us.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Settlement Agreements

 

Effective March 31, 2016, we entered into six debt settlement agreements with creditors holding outstanding notes, which resulted in the Company converting all of the $1,576,649 outstanding matured debt owed to the note holders by us into equity in the form of common stock of PetVivo. These debt conversions included all principal, accrued interest and any other expenses relating to these notes, including $655,919 owed to Gemini Master Fund, Ltd., $509,088 owed to St. George Investments LLC, $154,500 owed to Carebourn Capital, L.P., $125,892 owed to Jeanne Rudelius, $78,750 owed to Scott Johnson, and $52,500 owed to Union Capital LLC.

 

The foregoing conversions were all accomplished based on a conversion price of $2.00 per common share, and accordingly our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 788,325 shares of our common stock to be issued to the six note holders in complete satisfaction of all debt obligations held by them under their respective notes.

 

We regard these substantial and material debt-to-equity conversions to be a significant benefit to our current financial position and balance sheet, as well as to our future ability to finance the planned operations and projected commercial growth of our business.

 

Concurrent with its conversion of indebtedness to Gemini Master Fund, Ltd. ("Gemini"); Gemini also exercised a warrant held by Gemini incident to their note. This warrant exercise was a "cashless" transaction by Gemini, and resulted in our issuance to Gemini of an additional 97,317 shares of our common stock.

 

All of the foregoing securities issuances were unregistered and made by PetVivo as non-public transactions. The shares of common stock were issued to six United States residents in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) and Regulation D promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold without registration with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The note holders each acknowledged that the securities to be issued have not been registered under the Securities Act, that they understood the economic risk of an investment in the securities, and that they had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from our management concerning any and all matters related to acquisition of the securities.

 

The shares of common stock were physically issued in April 2016.

Page 20 of 36
 
 

 

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities substantially in the following form:

 

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Purchasers may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchasers’ expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.

(c) Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder. If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Underlying Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to such Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser.

 

(d) In addition to the Purchasers’ other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit the Purchasers’ right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and the Purchasers shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.

 

(e) The Purchasers, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agree with the Company that the Purchasers will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

4.2 Acknowledgment of Dilution . The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other shareholders of the Company.

(b) At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “ Public Information Failure ”) then, in addition to the Purchasers’ other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount of the Purchasers’ Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30 th ) day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchaser to transfer the Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144. The payments to which a Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) are referred to herein as “ Public Information Failure Payments .” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3 rd ) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.

The indemnification required by this Section 4.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event not later than the 75th day after such date.

5.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided , however , that in the case of a rescission of a conversion of a Note or exercise of a Warrant, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any shares of Common Stock subject to any such rescinded conversion or exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such shares pursuant to the Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).
