Organization


NovAccess Global Inc. is a Colorado corporation that was formerly known as XsunX, Inc. and Sun River Mining Inc.





New Business Plan


In 2020, we began to transition our operations from solar contracting operations to the commercialization of developmental healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets. On June 2, 2020, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Innovest Global, Inc. to acquire StemVax for 7.5 million shares of our unregistered common stock. The acquisition was completed on September 8, 2020.

We believe that investing in the biotechnology industry will significantly increase value for our shareholders. However, we cannot guaranty that we will be successful in this endeavor or that we can locate, acquire and finance the acquisition of biotechnology companies.

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2020





Revenue and Cost of Sales


The Company did not generate any revenue in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 ("fiscal 2021") compared to revenues of $1,044,333 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 ("fiscal 2020"). The decrease of $1,044,333, during fiscal 2021 was primarily due to the Company's change in focus from commercial solar system sales and the sale of steel canopy construction services to investing in the biotechnology industry. The costs of goods sold was $0 in fiscal 2021 and $822,603 is fiscal 2020.

Pursuant to the reporting requirements of ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the Company has determined that the business qualified for presentation as a discontinued operation. Therefore, the Company had reclassified and presented the operating results for fiscal 2020 as discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $1,870,048 during fiscal 2021 to $2,698,940 as compared to $828,892 for fiscal 2020. The 2021 expenses reflect a full year while the 2020 expenses cover the period from discontinuation of the solar operations on June 2, 2020 until September 30, 2020. The increase in SG&A expenses was related primarily due to the Company recognizing $962,000 in in stock compensation expense in fiscal 2021 compared to $399,260 recognized in fiscal 2020; an increase of $686,171 professional fees for investor advisory, legal and accounting services; an increase of $360,500 in outside services provided by TN3 under the management services agreement (please see Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence for additional details); as well as an increase of $244,043 in payroll related expenses.





Other Income/(Expenses)



Other expenses decreased by $6,349,040 from other expenses of $6,162,575 for fiscal 2020 to other income of $186,465 for fiscal 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the Company recognizing a loss on conversion of preferred stock of $5,088,524 in fiscal 2020, as well as the Company recognizing a gain on net change of fair market value of the derivative instruments of $548,112 in fiscal 2021 compared to a loss of $1,043,515 in fiscal 2020, partially offset by increase of $347,335 in interest expense recognized.





Net Loss


For fiscal year 2021, our net loss was $2,512,475 as compared to a net loss of $6,770,215 for fiscal 2020. The majority of the decrease in net loss of $4,257,740 was due to a decrease in other expenses associated with a loss recognized on conversion of preferred stock in fiscal 2020 partially offset by the net change in derivative instruments estimated each period. These estimates are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements' estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had a working capital deficit at September 30, 2021 of $3,762,214, as compared to a working capital deficit of $3,454,730 as of September 30, 2020. The increase of $307,484 in working capital deficit was the result of an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and interest on notes payable, and deferred compensation partially offset by increase in cash and prepaid expenses.

For fiscal 2021, our cash flow used by operating activities was $682,333, as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $93,190 for fiscal 2020. Out of these amounts, $682,333 was used by and $260,705 was used by continuing operating activities in fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively. The balance of $167,515 was provided by discontinued operating activities in fiscal 2020. The increase of $421,628 in cash flow used by continuing operating activities was primarily due to changes in assets and liabilities and non-cash stock issuance activities.

Cash flow provided by investing activities was $0 in fiscal 2021, compared to cash flow provided by investing activities of $5 for fiscal 2020. The decrease of $5 in investing activities was primarily due to StemVax acquisition in fiscal 2020.

Cash flow provided by financing activities was $862,823 for fiscal 2021, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $85,399 during fiscal 2020. The increase in cash flow provided by financing activities was the result of sales of the Company's common stock and proceeds from promissory notes payable.

The Company will need to raise additional funds to finance its ongoing operations, complete its IND application to the FDA and to make payments under its loan agreements. We expect this will require approximately $3.0 million through December 31, 2022. We plan to raise this capital through the issuance of additional common stock as well as obtaining additional debt as needed.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance-sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As a result, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.





Critical Accounting Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, the fair value of stock options, and derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
