Exhibit 99.1
Independent Auditors' Report
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
zPredicta, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of zPredicta, Inc. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 10 of the financial statements, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Predictive Oncology Inc. for control of the Company to be acquired in a proposed transaction. The transaction closed on November 24, 2021 and the Company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Predictive Oncology Inc. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
| · | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. |
| · | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| · | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. |
| · | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Operations
zPREDICTA, Inc., (the “Company” or “zPREDICTA” or “we”) was originally incorporated on April 11, 2016 in San Jose, California. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger effective May 9, 2016, Ixchel Scientific, a California corporation, merged with and into a Delaware corporation with the name of zPREDICTA, Inc., with such Delaware corporation as the surviving corporation of the merger. zPREDICTA develops tumor-specific in vitro models for oncology drug discovery and research. The Company’s mission is to accelerate the drug development process for its clients and partners by leveraging our team’s expertise in carcinogenesis, metastasis and the tumor microenvironment. The Company develops complex in vitro models that recapitulate the physiological environment of human tissue.
From target discovery and lead optimization to preclinical evaluation of efficacy and toxicity, zPREDICTA’s goal is to develop the tools necessary to accurately identify compounds that will have the highest probability of improving human health. The Company offers preclinical testing services based on its proprietary models directly to clients in the biopharmaceutical industry and through its partnership with LabCorp. The tumor-specific models are used by many leading biopharmaceutical companies to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of their therapeutic pipelines.
On September 30, 2021, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Predictive Oncology Inc. for the Company to be acquired in a proposed transaction. The transaction closed November 24, 2021 and the Company is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Predictive Oncology Inc.
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash
The Company has no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at the amount the Company expects to collect on balances outstanding. The Company provides for probable uncollectible amounts through charges to earnings and credits to the valuation allowance based on management’s assessment of the current status of individual accounts.
Amounts recorded in accounts receivable on the balance sheet include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The Company reviews customers’ credit history before extending unsecured credit and establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. Invoices are generally due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable over 30 days is generally considered past due. The Company does not accrue interest on past due accounts receivables. Receivables are written off once all collection attempts have failed and are based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance was $0 as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fair Value Measurements
As outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting standards ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company uses observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation.
The fair value of the Company’s investment securities, which consist of cash, was determined based on Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the Company’s SAFE liabilities and debt were determined based on Level 3 inputs. In addition, the Company uses the Monte Carlo method and other acceptable valuation methodologies when valuing the conversion feature and other embedded features classified as SAFE liabilities on a recurring basis. See Note 4 – SAFE Liabilities.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of fixed assets is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful asset life of laboratory equipment is five years.
Upon retirement or sale of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the balance sheet and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations expense as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the promised goods or services to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes are imposed on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects the taxes from the customers and remits the entire amounts to the governmental authorities. Sales taxes are excluded from revenue and expenses.
Revenue from Screening Services and Custom Model Development
zPREDICTA provides services for screening anti-cancer therapeutic agents. Contract revenues are generally derived from studies conducted with biopharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies. The specific methodology for revenue recognition is determined on a contract-by-contract basis according to the facts and circumstances applicable to a given contract. Advance payments received in excess of revenues recognized are classified as deferred revenue until such time as the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Payment terms are net 30 from the invoice date, which is sent to the customer as the Company satisfies the performance obligation relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. zPREDICTA’s payments terms vary by the agreements reached with customers. The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at one point in time when data and reports are delivered.
zPREDICTA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Variable Consideration
The Company records revenue from customers in an amount that reflects the transaction price it expects to be entitled to after transferring control of those goods or services. The Company’s current contracts do not contain any features that create variability in the amount or timing of revenue to be earned.
Contract Balances
The Company records a receivable when it has an unconditional right to receive consideration after the performance obligations are satisfied. As of December 31, 2020 accounts receivable totaled $51,961. As of December 31, 2019 there were no outstanding accounts receivables.
The Company’s deferred revenues related primarily to advance payments related to services for screening anti-cancer therapeutic agents and totaled $151,333 and $248,333 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Valuation and accounting for stock options
The Company determines the grant date fair value of options using 409A option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.
The fair value of each option and warrant grant is estimated on the grant date using the most recent 409A option valuation model with the following assumptions:
| | For the Year Ended December 31, |
| | 2020 | | 2019 |
| | | Stock Options | |
Expected dividend yield | | | 0.0 | % | | | 0.0 | % |
Expected stock price volatility | | | 75 | % | | | 59 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 0.14 | % | | | 2.069 | % |
Expected life (in years) | | | 10 | | | | 10 | |
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development costs were $6,714 and $9,529 for the years ended 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are included in operations expense in the statements of operations.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and credit carryforwards using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, certain stock transactions which significantly change ownership could limit the amount of net operating carryforwards that may be utilized on an annual basis to offset taxable income in future periods. The Company has not yet performed an analysis of the annual net operating loss carryforwards and limitations that are available to be used against taxable income. Consequently, the limitation, if any, could result in the expiration of the Company’s loss carryforwards before they can be utilized. The Company has not analyzed net operating loss carryforwards under Section 382 to date.
There is no income tax provision in the accompanying statements of operations due to the cumulative operating losses that indicate a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets and state income taxes is appropriate.
zPREDICTA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company reviews income tax positions expected to be taken in income tax returns to determine if there are any income tax uncertainties. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on technical merits of the positions. The Company has identified no income tax uncertainties.
All tax returns remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities due to the Company’s net loss position.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and, by policy, generally limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution. The Company has no credit risk on cash amounts held in a single institution that are in excess of amounts issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industries, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulations of the Food and Drug Administration, Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments, and other governmental agencies as applicable.
The Company has evaluated all of its activities and concluded that no other subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, except as described above and in Note 11 – Subsequent Events.
NOTE 2 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK OPTIONS
Authorized Shares
Per the certificate of incorporation of the Company the number of authorized shares of common stock from 10,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has an equity incentive plan, which allows issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company, where permitted under the plan. The exercise price for each stock option is determined by the fair market value price on the date of issuance. Vesting requirements are determined by the Board of Directors when granted and currently range from immediate to four years. Options outstanding under this plan have a contractual life of ten years.
Options
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, (“ASC 718”) requires that a company that issues equity as compensation needs to record compensation expense on its statements of operations that corresponds to the estimated fair value of those equity grants. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model or other acceptable means.
zPREDICTA, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company determines the grant date fair value of options using a 409A option valuation model based upon assumptions regarding risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, volatility and estimated term.

2020 Paycheck Protection Program
During 2020, the Company entered into a promissory note with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which provides for an unsecured loan of $37,387 pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and applicable regulations (the “CARES Act”). The promissory note has a term of 2 years with a 1% per annum interest rate. Payments are deferred for 6 months from the date of the promissory note and the Company can apply for forgiveness of all or a portion of the promissory note after 60 days for covered use of funds.
Pursuant to the terms of the PPP, the promissory note, or a portion thereof, may be forgiven if proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, such as payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage interest payments, rent and utilities. The Company has used all proceeds for qualifying expenses. The Company received forgiveness for the loan under the Paycheck Protection Program and recognized a gain in other income for the full amount of the loan during the first quarter of 2021.
The SBA reserves the right to audit any PPP loan, regardless of size. These audits may occur after forgiveness has been granted. In accordance with the CARES Act, all borrowers are required to maintain their PPP loan documentation for six years after the PPP loan was forgiven or repaid in full and to provide that documentation to the SBA upon request.
NOTE 4 – SAFE AND KISS LIABILITIES

NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes consists of an amount for taxes currently payable and a provision for tax consequences deferred to future periods. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
There is no federal or state income tax provision in the accompanying statements of net loss due to the cumulative operating losses incurred and 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets.
Actual income tax benefit differs from statutory federal income tax benefit as follows:

Statutory federal income tax benefit | | $ | 6,000 | | | $ | (9,000 | ) |

The Company has determined, based upon its history, that it is probable that future taxable income may be insufficient to fully realize the benefits of the net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and other deferred tax assets. As such, the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance is warranted. Future events and changes in circumstances could cause this valuation allowance to change.
