NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Nordicus Partners Corporation (the “Company” or “Nordicus”) was founded in 1993 as a subsidiary of PolyMedica Corporation. On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provided critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.
As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify either an (i) operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction or (ii) investor interested in purchasing a majority interest in our common stock, whereby either transaction would likely result in a change in control.
On March 3, 2020, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which amendment was unanimously approved by our Board of Directors, to change our name from AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation to EKIMAS Corporation.
On October 12, 2021, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Reddington Partners LLC, a California limited liability company (“Reddington”) providing for the purchase of a total of 511,448 of our common stock, on a post-split basis, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding for total cash consideration of $400,000. Reddington purchased in two tranches on October 12, 2021 and March 15, 2022.
Pursuant to the SPA, the Company effectuated a 1-for 50 reverse stock split on March 11, 2022 (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, on a post-split basis, the shares purchased in connection with the First Closing resulted in Reddington owning 42,273 shares of our common stock. As set forth in the SPA, Reddington then purchased from us on March 15, 2022, an additional 469,175 shares of our common stock, on a post-split basis (the “Second Closing”). After the issuance thereof Reddington owned 511,448 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90% of our total shares of common stock outstanding.
On February 23, 2023, the Company and Managementselskabet af 12.08.2020 A/S (formerly Nordicus Partners A/S), a Danish stock corporation, consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) by and among the Company, Nordicus, GK Partners ApS (“GK Partners”), Henrik Rouf and Life Science Power House ApS (“LSPH”). (GK Partners, Rouf and LSPH are collectively referred to herein as the “Sellers”, and each individually as a “Seller”). Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement the Sellers contributed, transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Company all right, title and interest in and to one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Nordicus for an aggregate of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As a result of this transaction, Nordicus became a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
On February 23, 2023, Tom Glaesner Larsen and Christian Hill Madsen were appointed directors of the Company. Mr. Hill-Madsen will continue as Chairman of the Board of Orocidin A/S, of which the Company recently acquired 95% of the outstanding shares in exchange for shares of the Company.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the six months ending September 30, 2024, and not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2025. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024.
Reverse Stock Split
On November 8, 2024, the Company effectuated a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock, rounding up to account for any fractional shares (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Reverse Stock Split had no effect on the Company’s authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock and the par value will remain unchanged at $0.001, respectively. All common stock share, warrant and per share amounts (except our authorized but unissued shares) have been retroactively adjusted in these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s accounting estimates include the useful lives of long-lived assets and recoverability of those assets, and impairment in fair value of goodwill.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We also maintain cash in foreign bank accounts that are not federally insured. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash amounts include cash on hand and cash on deposit with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, Managementselskabet af 12.08.2020 A/S and Orocidin A/S. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Translation Adjustment
The accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries are maintained in Danish krone. According to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 830 Foreign Currency Matters, all assets and liabilities were translated at the current exchange rate at respective balance sheets dates, stockholders’ equity are translated at the historical rates and statement of operations items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are reported under other comprehensive loss in accordance with the Comprehensive Income Topic of the Codification (ASC 220), as a component of Stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses are reflected in the statements of operations.
Comprehensive Loss
The Company uses the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income” (ASC Topic 220). Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and all changes to the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, except changes in paid-in capital and distributions to shareholders. Comprehensive income is included in net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with Orocidin’s ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the provisions of ASC 718, Stock-Based Compensation, which requires the recognition of the fair value of stock-based compensation. Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures of grants as they occur. Compensation cost for awards is recognized using the straight-line method over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation is included in general and administrative and research and development expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Refer to Note 8 for details on the stock incentive plan established during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Through the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company has not granted any awards qualifying as stock-based compensation under this plan. During the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 30,000 shares of common stock to a third party for consulting services unrelated to the stock incentive plan.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB ASC for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB ASC (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
| |
Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
| |
Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally unobservable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, there were 607,500 and 653,000 potentially dilutive shares of common stock from warrants, respectively. Diluted shares are not presented when the effect of the computations is anti-dilutive due to the losses incurred. Accordingly, there is no difference in the amounts presented for basic and diluted loss per share.
Goodwill
The Company accounts for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, where the total purchase price is allocated to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The purchase price is allocated using the information currently available, and may be adjusted, up to one year from acquisition date, after obtaining more information regarding, among other things, asset valuations, liabilities assumed and revisions to preliminary estimates. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.
The Company tests for indefinite-lived intangibles and goodwill impairment as of its fiscal year end, March 31, each year and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value and may not be recoverable.
Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for its indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but instead are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that an asset might be impaired. Pursuant to ASC 350, the Company tests its indefinite-lived intangible assets, which consist of certain assets acquired via the Company’s business combination with Orocidin A/S detailed in Note 9, for impairment by comparing their fair values to their carrying values. An impairment charge is recorded if the estimated fair value of such assets has decreased below their carrying values.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”). The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:
| ● | Identification of a contract with a customer; |
| ● | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract; |
| ● | Determination of the transaction price; |
| ● | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and |
| ● | Recognition of revenue when or as the performance obligations are satisfied. |
In January 2024, the Company signed an agreement with Orocidin for which it recognized revenue in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. Since Orocidin became a subsidiary in the first quarter ended June 30, 2024, no more revenue is to be recognized, but will be eliminated as an intercompany transaction.
Non-controlling Interests
In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company assesses whether it has a variable interest in legal entities in which it has a financial relationship and, if so, whether or not those entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). For those entities that qualify as VIEs, ASC 810 requires the Company to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and if so, to consolidate the VIE.
If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company evaluates whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and economics. The Company consolidates a VIE if both power and benefits belong to the Company – that is, the Company (i) has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). The Company consolidates VIEs whenever it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The Company has determined that Orocidin A/S is a VIE, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary. While the Company owns 95% of Orocidin A/S’s equity interests, the remaining equity interests in Orocidin A/S are owned by unrelated third parties, and the agreement with these third parties provides the Company with greater voting rights. Accordingly, the Company consolidates its interest in the financial statements of Orocidin A/S under the VIE rules and reflects the third parties’ interests in the unaudited consolidated financial statements as a non-controlling interest. The Company records this non-controlling interest at its initial fair value, adjusting the basis prospectively for the third parties’ share of the respective consolidated investments’ net income or loss or equity contributions and distributions. These non-controlling interests are not redeemable by the equity holders and are presented as part of permanent equity. Income and losses are allocated to the non-controlling interest holders based on its economic ownership percentage. Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration paid or received and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is recognized in equity.
Refer to Note 9 (“Business Combinations”) for more information regarding non-controlling interest recognized related to the Orocidin A/S business combination.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new applicable accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”), which will require additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement in response to longstanding requests from investors for more information about an entity’s expenses. The new standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The new standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its financial statements.
The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company has no revenue and has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $44,642,481 as of September 30, 2024. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, there is substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s recent acquisition, its generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand, the private placement of common stock and the exercise of outstanding warrants. The financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS
On June 20, 2023, the Company and GK Partners ApS entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement, under which GK Partners ApS sold to the Company 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of Mag Mile Capital, Inc. The shares were restricted in that they were subject to a registration statement filed on Form S-1 by Mag Mile Capital on September 6, 2023. The Form S-1 became effective on July 5, 2024, removing the restriction on the shares. In exchange, the Company issued 250,000 restricted shares of its common stock to GK Partners ApS. The shares were valued at $1,750,000, using $7.00 per share, the closing stock price for the Company’s common stock on the last business day before the agreement. The Company accounts for its investment under the guidance of ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities, which provides guidance for equity interests that meet the definition of an equity security. Equity interests with readily determinable fair values are carried at fair value with changes in value recorded in earnings. There currently is no active market for the shares of Mag Mile Capital, Inc, therefore, the investment remains at cost until such time there is an established fair value of Mag Mile Capital, Inc’s shares to be used to adjust the value of the Company’s investment in those shares. The Company’s investment in Mag Mile Capital, Inc is subject to changes and fluctuations based on their business activities and their ability to trade in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our chief executive and financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, using the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive and financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal period to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
