The Company recently launched a service platform for its first autologous product called Patient Pure X™ (“PPX™”). PPX™ is a non-manipulated biologic containing the nanoparticle fraction from a patient’s own peripheral blood. To date, revenues from PPX™ continue to be minimal.

The Company has recently began to expand the use of its proprietary products in future formulations for a variety of topical use applications in the skin-care industry.

On November 7, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to implement a reverse split of our issued and outstanding common stock on a one-for-200 basis (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split was effective on November 28, 2023. The par value of the Company’s common stock was unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Split. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Company’s common stock was reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio of one-for-200 and the additional paid-in capital account was credited with the amount by which the stated capital was reduced. All share and per share amounts referenced herein give effect to the Reverse Split as of the earliest period presented.

Major Customer

During the three months ended January 31, 2024, the Company sold products and services totaling approximately $297,000 (25.7%) to a large distributor, approximately $125,000 (10.8%) to another large distributor and approximately $201,000 (17.4%) to an individual medical practice.

During the three months ended January 31, 2023, the Company sold a total of approximately $303,000 (28.4%) to a large distributor and approximately $295,000 (27.6%) to another large distributor.

The Company’s sales agreements are non-exclusive and the Company does not believe it has any exposure based on the customers of its products.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ from the estimates.

 

Those estimates and assumptions include estimates for credit loss reserves for accounts receivable, assumptions used in valuing inventories at net realizable value, impairment testing of recorded long-term tangible and intangible assets, the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, accruals for potential liabilities, assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services, and assumptions used in the determination of the Company’s liquidity.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand to identify slow-moving merchandise and markdowns necessary to clear slow-moving merchandise. Estimates of markdown requirements may differ from actual results due to changes in quantity, quality and mix of products in inventory, as well as changes in consumer preferences, market and economic conditions.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment range from 3 to 5 years. Upon sale or retirement, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from their respective accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in results of operations. Repairs and maintenance charges, which do not increase the useful lives of the assets, are charged to operations as incurred.

Revenue Recognitioncontracts.

 

The Company recognizes revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic. 605 “Revenue Recognition”.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Recent Accounting PronouncementsDetermining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014- 09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Disclosures are required if there is substantial doubt as to the company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of financial statements. The standard provides guidance for making the assessment, including consideration of management’s plans which may alleviate doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard for the year ending October 31, 2016, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued by the FASB that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this update had no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after January 31, 20172024 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

NOTE 23GOING CONCERN

 

The unaudited accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has had limited revenues since its inception. The Company incurred a net losslosses of $4,242,493$1,040,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2017.2024 and used $575,000 of cash from operating activities during that period. In addition, the Company had an accumulateda stockholders’ deficit of $6,356,104$1,508,000 at January 31, 2017.2024. The Company had a negative working capital positiondeficit of $1,441,928$2,031,000 at January 31, 2017.2024.

United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations which were announced in November 2017 and which became effective in May 2021 require that the sale of products that fall under Section 351 of the Public Health Services Act pertaining to marketing traditional biologics and human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue based products (“HCT/Ps”) can only be sold pursuant to an approved biologics license application (“BLA”). The Company has not obtained any opinion or ruling regarding the Company’s operations and whether the processing, sales and distribution of the products it currently produces would be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s.

As a result of the above, the Company’s efforts to establish a stabilized source of sufficient revenues to cover operating costs has yet to be achieved and ultimately may prove to be unsuccessful unless (a) the Company’s ability to process, sell and distribute the products currently being produced or developed in the future are not restricted; and/or (b) additional sources of working capital through operations or debt and/or equity financings are realized. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Management anticipates that the Company will remain dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund ongoing operating expenses. Allexpenses and research and development costs related to development of the Company’s assets are currently pledgednew products and to perform required clinical studies in connection with the SPA and as a resultsale of its products. The Company does not have any assets to pledge for the purpose of borrowing additional capital. In addition, the Company relies on its ability to produce and sell products it manufactures that are subject to changing technology and regulations that it currently sells and distributes to its customers. The Company’s current market capitalization, and common stock liquidity willand available authorized shares may hinder its ability to raise equity proceeds. The Company anticipates that future sources of funding, if any, will therefore be costly and dilutive.dilutive, if available at all.

 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet assumes that (1)(a) the Company is able to continue to produce products or obtain products under supply arrangements which are in compliance with current and future regulatory guidelines; (b) the Company will be able to establish a stabilized source of revenues, (2)including efforts to expand sales internationally and the development of new product offerings and/or designations of products; (c) obligations to the Company’s creditors are not accelerated, (3)accelerated; (d) the Company’s operating expenses remain at current levels and/or the Company is successful in restructuring and/or deferring ongoing obligations, (4)obligations; (e) the Company is able to continue its research and development activities, particularly in regards to remaining compliant with the FDA and ongoing safety and efficacy of its products; and/or (f) the Company obtains additional working capital to meet its contractual commitments and maintain the current level of Company operations through debt or equity sources.

There is no assurance that the products we currently produce will not be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s and/or the Company will be able to complete its revenue growth strategystrategy. There is no assurance that the Company’s research and development activities will be successful or otherwise obtain sufficient working capitalthat the Company will be able to cover ongoing cash requirements.timely fund the required costs of those activities. Without sufficient cash reserves, the Company’s ability to pursue growth objectives will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, despite significant effortseffort since July 2015, the Company has thus far been unsuccessful in achieving a stabilized source of revenues.

If revenues do not increase and stabilize, if the Company’s ability to process, sell and/or distribute the products currently being produced or developed in the future are restricted, and/or if additional funds cannot otherwise be raised, the Company might be required to seek other alternatives which could include the sale of assets, closure of operations and/or protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws. As of January 31, 2024, based on the factors described above, the Company concluded that there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue to operate as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements.

Business Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company principally focusing on the development of innovative biological therapeutics for the treatment of degenerative diseases and regenerative medicine. The Company’s operations in July 2015, we have been engagedproprietary products are derived from perinatal sources and manufactured to retain the naturally occurring extracellular vesicles, hyaluronic acid, and proteins without the addition or combination of any other substance or diluent and an autologous non-manipulated biologic containing the nanoparticle fraction from a patient’s own peripheral blood (“RAAM Products”). Our RAAM Products and related services are principally used in the health care industry principally focusing on supplying products and services related to the growing field of regenerative anti-aging medicine (“RAAM”). Our goal is to supply newly designed advanced biologically processed cellular and tissue based products developed from internally based research and development activities and/or from other state-of-the-art RAAM-related products developed by third parties under exclusive supply arrangements and to provide other related services used in the growing health care field of regenerative medicine (“RAAM Products”). We intend to distribute the RAAM Products and market RAAM-related services to the health care industry and a referral network ofadministered through doctors and clinics (collectively, the “Providers”(“Providers”), through our newly established in-house sales force and/or through arrangements with independent distributors..

 

Revenues from these above activities during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 did not increase as projected primarily due toOn December 8, 2023, our board of directors and our stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s ongoing cash constraints which limitedvoting power, approved resolutions authorizing the abilityCompany to amend its Articles of Incorporation to change the name (the “Name Change”) of the Company from Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. to attract and retain sales personnel and“Zeo ScientifiX, Inc.” On February 16, 2024, the levelCompany filed a Certificate of advertising and social media marketing efforts that could be deployed towards increasing revenues. In addition, costs charged fromAmendment with the suppliersSecretary of State of Nevada to change the Company’s products were higher than projected duename from Organicell Regenerative Medicine, Inc. to the Company’s inability to provide certain minimum guaranteed purchase commitments, which further impacted the Company’s ability to attract distributors to supply and market its products, primarily due to the lower commissions that could be offered to the potential distributors as a result of the higher product costs and the Company’s need to achieve minimum gross margins, and the inability for the Company to negotiate terms with these suppliers to provide the Company with private labeling and/or granting of exclusive sales territories, factors important to many distributors. As a result of the above, the Company determined during November 2016 that it would immediately focus on implementing its strategy to develop products internally in order to effectively position itself and compete in the RAAM market, provide the Company with improved margins obtained on the sale of its products, and to increase revenues resulting from the ability to differentiate its products as superior to its competitors combined with leveraging existing marketing programs and strategies aimed to attract distributors and Providers.

Current and Future Operations:

Our current strategy is to achieve the following goals and milestones:

Research and Development and Product Development:

Increase the number of RAAM product offerings for various modalities using proprietary processing, formulas and administration techniques;
Engage researchers that bring additional expertise and capacity to develop ongoing research and development and growth opportunities for additional RAAM-related products;
Increase the capacity our existing research and manufacturing lab facilities to accommodate additional expansion and product development;
Perform clinical based studies associated with our products and ongoing research and seek accelerated approval for each product application in accordance with the21st Century Cures Act (“Cures Act”) and/or through the granting of anFDA-approved biologics application (BLA) to allow products to be lawfully marketed in the United States;
Identify sources of exclusive and superior suppliers of raw materials; and
Acquisition of existing IP consistent with our product strategy.

Develop and expand the distribution of our internally developed RAAM related products, including the New Amnio Product by:

Extending the referral network of Providers;
Engaging additional in-house sales personnel;
Selectively engaging independent distributors;
Marketing Private Label to distributors; and
Developing and providing educational programs for Providers regarding our products.

Develop the MMTC business segment:

Engage consultants to lobby on behalf of the Company in our efforts to obtain a license to operate MMTC dispensaries;
Identify and establish key relationships with growers and processors of cannabis for the purpose of securing reliable and superior supply of products;
Develop sources of financing to fund the expected capital needed to comply with the financial requirements of license applicants and to be prepared to timely construct and operate dispensaries once a license is received; and
Identify potential partners that might facilitate and/or enhance opportunities to obtain licenses and/or enhance the operation of planned dispensaries.

Secure additional working capital to

Fund ongoing expenses until revenues are stabilized and to fund desired facility expansion and research and development projects;
Develop and expand our sales and distribution capabilities in order to obtain revenues objectives;
Perform ongoing research and development for new product offerings;
Enter into strategic relationships that will allow us to acquire desired IP or other objectives; and
Begin clinical based studies

Since inception, we have incurred net operating losses. Losses have principally occurred as a result of our inability to increase and stabilize revenues which have remained insufficient as a result of a lack ofCompany having sufficient available working capital to (a) fund effectively the substantial costs of completing clinical trials, which the Company currently does not have, and ultimately, obtaining approval from the FDA.

Current FDA guidance requires that the sale of products that fall under Section 351 of the Public Health Services Act pertaining to marketing traditional biologics and human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue based products (“HCT/Ps”) can only be sold pursuant to an approved biologics license application (“BLA”).

We have not obtained any opinion or ruling regarding the Company’s operations and whether the processing, sales and distribution of the products we currently produce would be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s. However, we do not believe that our products fall within these guidelines and intend to vigorously defend against any adverse interpretation by the FDA on the classification of our products (b)that may be deemed as falling under this defined regulation, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are undertaking efforts on an ongoing basis to mitigate any potential risks associated with an adverse ruling by the FDA and the subsequent limitations on our ability to attract and retain needed personnel and/or (c)continue to fundgenerate revenues from the expansion into other growth opportunities, including the substantial resources required for research and development. We expect operating losses to continue. Our available funds combined with our current revenue levels will not fund current levelssale of ongoing general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. We expect to need additional financing to develop, produce market our products in the United States until the Company obtains the required licenses. The efforts include continuing with clinical trials, expanding sales internationally and developing new product offerings and/or designations of products that would not fall under these regulations.

On November 7, 2023, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to cover the generalits Articles of Incorporation to implement a reverse split of our issued and administrative expensesoutstanding common stock on a one-for-200 basis (the “Reverse Split”).

The transactions contemplated by the SPA were consummated on April 3, 2017 (“Closing”). Pursuant to the SPA, the Purchasers shall be entitled to purchase a 10% Original Issue Discount Convertible Secured Promissory Note and Guarantee in the principal amount of up to $1,666,667, corresponding to a subscription amount of up to $1,500,000 (“Note”).

The $60,000 Note Payable may be prepaid without penalty.

The Company issued the foregoing securities pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, available under Section 4(a)(2) promulgated thereunder due to the fact that they were isolated sales to a limited number of people and did not involve a public offering of securities.

Going Concern Consideration

 

The unaudited accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has had limited revenues since its inception. The Company incurred a net losslosses of $4,242,493$1,040,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2017.2024 and used $575,000 of cash from operating activities during that period. In addition, the Company had an accumulateda stockholders’ deficit of $6,356,104$1,508,000 at January 31, 2017.2024. The Company had a negative working capital positiondeficit of $1,441,928$2,031,000 at January 31, 2017.2024.

United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulations which were announced in November 2017 and which became effective in May 2021 require that the sale of products that fall under Section 351 of the Public Health Services Act pertaining to marketing traditional biologics and human cells, tissues and cellular and tissue based products (“HCT/Ps”) can only be sold pursuant to an approved biologics license application (“BLA”). The Company has not obtained any opinion or ruling regarding the Company’s operations and whether the processing, sales and distribution of the products it currently produces would be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s.

As a result of the above, the Company’s efforts to establish a stabilized source of sufficient revenues to cover operating costs has yet to be achieved and ultimately may prove to be unsuccessful unless (a) the Company’s ability to process, sell and distribute the products currently being produced or developed in the future are not restricted; and/or (b) additional sources of working capital through operations or debt and/or equity financings are realized. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.


Management anticipates that the Company will remain dependent, for the near future, on additional investment capital to fund ongoing operating expenses. Allexpenses and research and development costs related to development of the Company’s assets are currently pledgednew products and to perform required clinical studies in connection with the SPA and as a resultsale of its products. The Company does not have any assets to pledge for the purpose of borrowing additional capital. In addition, the Company relies on its ability to produce and sell products it manufactures that are subject to changing technology and regulations that it currently sells and distributes to its customers. The Company’s current market capitalization, and common stock liquidity willand available authorized shares may hinder its ability to raise equity proceeds. The Company anticipates that future sources of funding, if any, will therefore be costly and dilutive.dilutive, if available at all.

 

In view of the matters described in the preceding paragraphs, recoverability of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet assumes that (1)(a) the Company is able to continue to produce products or obtain products under supply arrangements which are in compliance with current and future regulatory guidelines; (b) the Company will be able to establish a stabilized source of revenues, (2)including efforts to expand sales internationally and the development of new product offerings and/or designations of products; (c) obligations to the Company’s creditors are not accelerated, (3)accelerated; (d) the Company’s operating expenses remain at current levels and/or the Company is successful in restructuring and/or deferring ongoing obligations, (4)obligations; (e) the Company is able to continue its research and development activities, particularly in regards to remaining compliant with the FDA and ongoing safety and efficacy of its products; and/or (f) the Company obtains additional working capital to meet its contractual commitments and maintain the current level of Company operations through debt or equity sources.

 

There is no assurance that the products we currently produce will not be subject to the FDA’s previously announced intended enforcement policies regarding HCT/P’s and/or the Company will be able to complete its revenue growth strategystrategy. There is no assurance that the Company’s research and development activities will be successful or otherwise obtain sufficient working capitalthat the Company will be able to cover ongoing cash requirements.timely fund the required costs of those activities. Without sufficient cash reserves, the Company’s ability to pursue growth objectives will be adversely impacted. Furthermore, despite significant effortseffort since July 2015, the Company has thus far been unsuccessful in achieving a stabilized source of revenues.

If revenues do not increase and stabilize, if the Company’s ability to process, sell and/or distribute the products currently being produced or developed in the future are restricted, and/or if additional funds cannot otherwise be raised, the Company might be required to seek other alternatives which could include the sale of assets, closure of operations and/or protection under the U.S. bankruptcy laws. As of January 31, 2024, based on the factors described above, the Company concluded that there was substantial doubt about its ability to continue to operate as a going concern for the 12 months following the issuance of these financial statements.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014,There were no recently issued financial accounting standards that would have an impact on the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The new guidance provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. This accounting standard update, as amended, will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal 2017. The Company is currently assessing the provisions of the guidance and has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidatedCompany’s financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new standard requires management to assess the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Disclosures are required if there is substantial doubt as to the company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issue date of financial statements. The standard provides guidance for making the assessment, including consideration of management’s plans which may alleviate doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 is effective for years ending after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard for the year ending October 31, 2016, and management has concluded that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s continuation as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of the financial statements.

In February 2016, a pronouncement was issued that creates new accounting and reporting guidelines for leasing arrangements. The new guidance requires organizations that lease assets to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet related to the rights and obligations created by those leases, regardless of whether they are classified as finance or operating leases. Consistent with current guidance, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. The guidance also requires new disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early application permitted. The new standard is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new pronouncement on its financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (topic 718). The FASB issued this update to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments and affect all organizations that issue share based payment awards to their employees. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. The updated guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the update is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of this update had no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in accordance with the rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”(“SEC”). Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated appropriately and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer (principal(our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal(our principal financial and accounting officer) evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of January 31, 2017,2024, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act were recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that our disclosure controls are not effectively designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officer,Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, for a description of the Company’s material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

On November 4, 2016, the Company appointed Ian T. Bothwell as the Chief Financial Officer and Dr. Bruce Werber as the Chief Operating of the Company, effective November 4, 2016. Dr. Werber was also appointed to serve as member of the Board of Directors of the Company, effective November 4, 2016. Other than the foregoing, noNo change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 20172024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
