NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Propanc Biopharma”) was originally incorporated in Melbourne, Victoria Australia on October 15, 2007 as Propanc PTY LTD, and continues to be based in Camberwell, Victoria Australia. Since its inception, substantially all of the operations of the Company have been focused on the development of new cancer treatments targeting high-risk patients, particularly cancer survivors, who need a follow-up, non-toxic, long-term therapy designed to prevent the cancer from returning and spreading. The Company anticipates establishing global markets for its technologies. Our lead product candidate, which we refer to as PRP, is an enhanced pro-enzyme formulation designed to enhance the anti-cancer effects of multiple enzymes acting synergistically. It is currently in the preclinical phase of development.
On November 23, 2010, the Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware as Propanc Health Group Corporation. In January 2011, to reorganize the Company, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Propanc PTY LTD on a one-for-one basis making it a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Effective April 20, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Propanc Biopharma, Inc.” to better reflect the Company’s stage of growth and development.
The Company has filed six patent applications relating to its lead product, PRP. The first application was filed in October 2010 in each of the countries listed in the table below. This application has been granted and remains in force in the United States, Australia, China, Japan, Indonesia, Israel, New Zealand, Singapore and South Africa. In Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Mexico and South Korea, the patent application remains under examination. The Europe patent application has recently been accepted.
In 2016 and 2017 we filed other patent applications, as indicated below. Three applications were filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (the “PCT”). The PCT assists applicants in seeking patent protection by filing one international patent application under the PCT, applicants can then seek protection for an invention in over 150 countries. Once national or regional applications are filed, the application is placed under the control of the national or regional patent offices, as applicable, in what is called the national or regional phase.

3. | Cancer Treatment | PCT | Application filed and pending | Jan-27-2017 | ||||
4. | Composition of proenzymes for cancer treatment | PCT | Application filed and pending | Apr-12-2017 |
The Company hopes to capture and protect additional patentable subject matter based on the Company’s field of technology relating to pharmaceutical compositions of proenzymes for treating cancer by filing additional patent applications as it advances its lead product candidate, PRP, through various stages of development.
On April 20, 2017, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its certificate of incorporation whereby the Company (i) decreased the number of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to 100,000,000 (ii) decreased the number of authorized shares of preferred stock to 1,500,005 and (iii) effected a one-for-two hundred and fifty (1:250) reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, warrants and equity incentive plans, including all share and per-share data, for all amounts and periods presented in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 23, 2018, the stockholders have authorized an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000.
Basis of Presentation
The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications and non-recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and our financial position at December 31, 2017 have been made. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.
Reference is frequently made herein to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This is the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to non-governmental entities. Each ASC reference in this filing is presented with a three-digit number, which represents its Topic. As necessary for explanation and as applicable, an ASC topic may be followed with a two-digit subtopic, a two-digit section or a two-or-three digit paragraph.

(unaudited)
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The June 30, 2017 balance sheet is derived from those statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Propanc Biopharma, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Propanc PTY LTD. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the estimates of useful lives for depreciation, valuation of derivatives, valuation of beneficial conversion features on convertible debt, allowance for uncollectable receivables, valuation of equity based instruments issued for other than cash, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and foreign currency translation due to certain average exchange rates applied in lieu of spot rates on transaction dates.
Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company’s functional currency is the Australian dollar (AUD). For financial reporting purposes, the Australian dollar has been translated into United States dollars ($ and/or USD) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as other income (expense). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of Australian dollars to USD after the balance sheet date.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented includes only foreign currency translation gains (losses).
As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Australian dollars into USD for the purposes of preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements were as follows:
December 31, 2017 | June 30, 2017 | |||||||
Exchange rate on balance sheet dates | ||||||||
USD : AUD exchange rate | 0.7815 | 0.7676 | ||||||
Average exchange rate for the period | ||||||||
USD : AUD exchange rate | 0.7795 | 0.7544 |
Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) by Component during the six months ended December 31, 2017 was as follows:
Foreign Currency Items: |
||||
Beginning balance, June 30, 2017 | $ | (141,749 | ) | |
Foreign currency translation loss | (170,264 | ) | ||
Ending balance, December 31, 2017 | $ | (312,013 | ) |

DECEMBER 31, 2017

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with US GAAP. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Amounts recorded for loans payable, also approximate fair value because current interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities are substantially the same.
The Company has adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” accounting guidance for fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity. This standard defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. This standard does not require any new fair value measurements but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This guidance does not apply to measurements related to share-based payments. This guidance discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The guidance utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
The estimated fair value of certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable and accounts payable are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The cost basis of notes and convertible debentures approximates fair value due to the market interest rates carried for these instruments.
Also see Note 10 - Derivative Financial Instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at banks, short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less with financial institutions, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are reflected as a current liability on the balance sheets. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2017 or June 30, 2017.
Patents
Patents are stated at cost and reclassified to intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods if and once the patent has been granted by a regulatory agency. However, the Company will expense any product costs for so long as we remain in the startup stage. Accordingly, as the Company’s products were and are not currently approved for market, all patent costs incurred from 2013 through 2017 were expensed immediately. This practice of expensing patent costs immediately ends when a product receives market authorization from a government regulatory agency.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, “Long-lived assets,” property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and balance sheet items are recognized net of the amount of GST, except payable and receivable balances which are shown inclusive of GST. The GST incurred is payable on revenues to, and recoverable on purchases from, the Australian Taxation Office.
Cash flows are presented in the statements of cash flow on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
As of December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the Company was owed $4,386 and $8,111, respectively, from the Australian Taxation Office. These amounts were fully collected subsequent to the balance sheet reporting dates.
Derivative Instruments
ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC Topic 815”), establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. On the date of conversion of debt, the Company records the fair value of the conversion shares, removes the fair value of the related derivative liability, removes any discounts and records a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
Convertible Notes With Variable Conversion Options
The Company has entered into convertible notes, some of which contain variable conversion options, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company treats these convertible notes as stock settled debt under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion, and records the put premium as accretion to interest expense to the date of first conversion.
Income Taxes
The Company is governed by Australia and United States income tax laws, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office and the United States Internal Revenue Service, respectively. The Company follows ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted provisions of ASC 740, Sections 25 through 60, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” These sections provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods.

Research and Development Costs and Tax Credits
In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Total research and development costs for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $1,598,468 and $328,399, respectively.
The Company may apply for research and development tax concessions with the Australian Taxation Office on an annual basis. Although the amount is possible to estimate at year end, the Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as an income tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt.
During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company applied for, and received from the Australian Taxation Office, a research and development tax credit in the amount of $180,278 and $0 respectively, which is reflected as a tax benefit in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” as well as SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 Share Based Payment, which was issued by the SEC in March 2005 and related to its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values employee and non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, (codified in ASC 605), the Company intends to recognize revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists or acceptance occurs, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sales revenues is reasonably assured. Subject to these criteria, the Company intends to recognize revenue relating to royalties on product sales in the period in which the sale occurs and the royalty term has begun.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive securities consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon exercise of common stock equivalents such as stock options, warrants and convertible debt instruments. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted per share amounts for all periods presented are identical. As of December 31, 2017 there were 149,517 warrants outstanding, 572,000 stock options and 18 convertible notes payable that are convertible into 47,599,059 common shares, respectively which are considered dilutive securities which were excluded from the computation since the effect is anti-dilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Certain FASB Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) that are not effective until after December 31, 2017 are not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company is evaluating or has implemented the following at December 31, 2017:
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice regarding how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented in the statement of cash flows. The standard provides guidance on the classification of the following items: (1) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (2) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, (3) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (4) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (5) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, (6) distributions received from equity method investments, (7) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (8) separately identifiable cash flows. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2016-15 for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-15.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transaction, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. These changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2017. The Company has determined that ASU 2016-09 will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. The changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. Modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, is required with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company expects this ASU will increase its current assets and current liabilities, but have no net material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP, and contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Company had no revenues, had a net loss of $4,125,722 and had net cash used in operations of $1,071,326. Additionally, as of December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit, stockholders’ deficit and accumulated deficit of $7,161,519, $7,149,320 and $42,369,245, respectively. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Successful completion of the Company’s development program and, ultimately, the attainment of profitable operations are dependent upon future events, including obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its development activities, acceptance of the Company’s patent applications and ultimately achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure. However, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to secure additional debt or equity investments or achieve an adequate sales level.
NOTE 3 – DUE TO DIRECTORS - RELATED PARTIES
Due to directors - related parties represents unsecured advances made primarily by a former director for operating expenses on behalf of the Company such as intellectual property and formation expenses. The expenses were paid for on behalf of the Company and are due upon demand. The Company is currently not being charged interest under these advances. The total amount owed the former director at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017 is $35,842 and $35,204, respectively.

Delafield Financing Agreements
On October 28, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Delafield Investments Limited (the “Purchaser” or “Delafield”). The Purchase Agreement provided that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Purchaser would invest $4,000,000 (“Investment Amount”) in exchange for a convertible debenture (the “Debenture”) in the principal amount of $4,400,000 (the “Principal Amount”) and a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 104,762 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for an exercise price of $150 per share for a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date (the “Warrant”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company issued the Debenture and Warrant to the Purchaser.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to deliver a promissory note entered into by the Company and Purchaser on September 24, 2015 with a principal amount of $1,200,000 (the “Prior Note”). The parties further agreed that the Prior Note was deemed cancelled upon the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company of the Debenture and the amount of the Prior Note is included in the Investment Amount under the Purchase Agreement.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Debenture, $2,800,000 of the Investment Amount was deposited into a deposit control account and such amount was to remain in the deposit control account pending the achievement of certain milestones by the Company and the satisfaction of certain equity conditions set forth in the Debenture. Additionally, under the Debenture, the Principal Amount would be reduced by $25,000 if the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days following the Closing Date. The Principal Amount would be reduced by an additional $25,000 if the registration statement was deemed effective within 100 days after the Closing Date. On November 23, 2015, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC and on December 10, 2015, the registration statement was declared effective. As both of these conditions were met, the Principal Amount was reduced by $50,000, which was credited to interest expense such that the aggregate remaining principal amount was $4,350,000 and the $2,800,000 was released from the deposit control account.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by, among and for the benefit of the parties. The Company also agreed to pay up to $50,000 of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the transaction. The Purchase Agreement also provides for indemnification of the Purchaser and its affiliates in the event that the Purchaser incurs losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses related to a breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Purchase Agreement.
The Debenture has a 10% original issue discount and was originally scheduled to mature on October 28, 2016. The Principal Amount accrues interest at the rate of 5% per annum with a one year value guarantee of $217,500, payable quarterly in cash (or if certain conditions are met, in stock at the Company’s option) on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. The Debenture was, prior to the Addendum (as defined below), convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the Purchaser’s option into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $10.50, which is the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock five days prior to the execution of the Debenture (subject to adjustment) (the “Conversion Price”). At any time after the effective date of the registration statement, the Purchaser had the opportunity to convert up to an aggregate of $2,090,000 of the Debenture, at one or more conversion dates, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the VWAP of the Common Stock over the five (5) trading days prior to such effective date. The Purchaser’s option to convert at such a conversion price expired when the Purchaser converted an aggregate of $2,090,000 of the Debenture using such conversion price. If the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock on any trading day was less than the Conversion Price, the Purchaser could convert at a price per share equal to a twenty percent (20%) discount to the average of the two lowest closing prices during the five trading days prior to the date of conversion. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Company withdrew a principal amount of $2,800,000 from the deposit control account of which $269,976 was paid directly as partial payment of a note dated June 4, 2015 and $33,437 was paid directly to legal fees resulting in net cash proceeds of $2,496,587 received by the Company. An aggregate total of $1,955,300 was bifurcated with the embedded conversion option recorded as a derivative liability at fair value. During the year ended June 30, 2016, the Purchaser converted $2,790,806 of principal and $108,750 of accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. During the year ended June 30, 2017, the Purchaser converted $885,400 of principal and $108,750 of accrued interest into shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
During the six months ended December 31, 2017, the Purchaser converted $380,090 of principal into shares of the Company’s Common Stock (See Note 6). Total principal outstanding as of December 31, 2017 is $340,181. Accrued interest as of December 31, 2017 was $3,913 and was accrued in connection with a letter agreement revising the original terms of the agreement as documented below, which after multiple amendments has a due date of December 15, 2017. On January 2, 2018 all $490,181in remaining principal and related accrued interest under the Debenture were paid in full (see Note 11). The above conversions relate to additional proceeds received under the Debenture as documented below.
The Debenture includes customary event of default provisions and provides for a default interest rate of 18%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Purchaser may convert the Debenture into shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to a thirty percent (30%) discount to the average VWAP of the shares for the six trading days prior to conversion.
Subject to the conditions set forth in the Debenture, the Company has the right at any time to redeem some or all of the total outstanding amount then remaining under the Debenture in cash at a price equal to 125% of the total amount of the Debenture outstanding on the twentieth (20th) trading date following the date the Company delivers notice of such redemption to the Purchaser.
At no time is the Purchaser entitled to convert any portion of the Debenture to the extent that after such conversion, the Purchaser (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date.

The Warrant was exercisable in whole or in part, at an initial exercise price per share of $150. The exercise price and number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock issuable under the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) were subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations, subsequent rights offerings and pro rata distributions. Any adjustment to the exercise price would similarly cause the number of Warrant Shares to be adjusted so that the total value of the Warrants would have increased. In the event that the Warrant Shares were not included in an effective registration statement, the Warrants could be exercised on a cashless basis.
The Company calculated the Warrant at relative fair value, which was $712,110 and amortized to interest expense during the year ended June 30, 2016. This Warrant was fully exercised during fiscal 2017 (see the “July Letter Agreement” below).
In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and the Purchaser also entered into a registration rights agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to file an initial registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the Common Stock into which the Debenture may be converted or the Warrant may be exercised, within 30 days following the Closing Date. The registration statement had to be declared effective by the 100th calendar day after the Closing Date, subject to a 20-day extension as requested by the Company and consented to by the Purchaser. On November 23, 2015, the Company filed the registration statement with the SEC and on December 10, 2015, the registration statement was declared effective.
If at any time all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debenture or the Warrant are not covered by the initial Registration Statement, the Company agreed to file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements so as to cover all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debenture or the Warrant not covered by such initial Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable filing deadline for such additional registration statements as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a security agreement dated as of even date therewith with the Purchaser whereby the Company agreed to grant to Purchaser an unconditional and continuing first priority security interest in all of the assets and property of the Company to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of the Company’s obligations under the Debentures, Warrants and the other transaction documents until ten days following such time as the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC and the equity conditions set forth in the Debenture are met.
On March 11, 2016, the Company entered into an Addendum (the “Addendum”) as discussed below with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company and the Purchaser agreed to new terms with respect to the Purchase Agreement.
Addendum
Under the Addendum, the Company and the Purchaser agreed that the balance of the deposit control account, after giving effect to the amounts released from such account as of the date of the Addendum, would be released to the Company in two installments as follows: (1) up to $1,200,000 would be released to the Company upon full execution of the Addendum, which occurred on March 16, 2016, and (2) up to $375,000 within 60 days of the full execution of the Addendum as long as certain conditions were met, which occurred on May 19, 2016.
The Company and the Purchaser agreed that the new conversion price would be $7.50; provided that in the event that the VWAP per share on any trading day is less than such conversion price, the conversion price would be adjusted to a price per share that was equal to a 22.5% discount to the lowest trading price of the common stock in the ten trading days prior to the date of conversion. The Company evaluated this note modification under ASC 470-50-40-10 and concluded that it does not apply since the conversion option is bifurcated and the 10% cash flow test was not met under ASC 470-50.
Under the Addendum, the Purchaser agreed to limit the number of shares of Common Stock it sells on any trading day to an amount of shares that is less than 25% of the trading volume of the Common Stock on that same trading day. The Purchaser and the Company may agree otherwise with respect to this trading limitation.

The Company also agreed to reserve an additional 1,200,000 shares for issuance and to file a registration statement on Form S-1 to register shares covering the resale of all of the additional shares of common stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Debenture, as modified by this Addendum. On March 25, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement with the SEC and on April 19, 2016, the registration statement was deemed effective.
The Company and the Purchaser agreed that the initial stock purchase agreement and the Debenture, as applicable, would continue in effect and remain in place, except to the extent modified by the Addendum.
July and August Letter Agreements
On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “July Letter Agreement”) with the Purchaser, and the parties then entered in a second letter agreement dated August 3, 2016 (the “August Letter Agreement”), pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
Under the July Letter Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to exercise the Warrant with respect to all 104,762 shares of common stock underlying the Warrant. In consideration for the Purchaser’s exercise of the Warrant, the Company agreed to adjust the exercise price from $150 per share to $3.00 per share. In addition, the Company and the Purchaser agreed to modify the July 1, 2016 “Interest Payment Date” and the October 1, 2016 “Interest Payment Date” as such terms are defined in the Debenture. The Company delayed the interest payment due on the July 1, 2016 Interest Payment Date by a minimum of 30 calendar days (the “Minimum Extension Date”) and up to 60 calendar days, provided that the Purchaser could demand payment any time after the Minimum Extension Date. The Company also may delay the interest payment due on the October 1, 2016 Interest Payment Date to the October 28, 2016 maturity date (the “Maturity Date”) unless the Purchaser demands earlier payment; provided however, that if the Purchaser has not demanded payment by October 27, 2016, the Maturity Date would have been extended until December 31, 2016 (or such earlier date as the parties mutually agreed) and the interest payment that would have been due on the October 1, 2016 would become due on December 31, 2016, unless the Purchaser demanded earlier payment. The note was further extended to September 30, 2017 and then to December 15, 2017 as discussed below.
On July 8, 2016, the Warrant for 104,762 shares was fully exercised at a price of $3 per share for a total of $314,286, see above. The Company revalued the warrants on the modification date at the new exercise price and recorded an additional expense in fiscal 2017 of approximately $21,000 related to the incremental increase in value.
Pursuant to the August Letter Agreement, the Maturity Date of the Debenture was extended until February 28, 2017 and did not accrue interest from October 28, 2016 through the Maturity Date (provided that all accrued but unpaid interest prior to October 28, 2016 (the original maturity date) will be due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Debenture). The note was further extended to September 30, 2017 and then to December 15, 2017 as discussed below.
The Debenture is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at the Purchaser’s option into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $7.50 per share; provided that in the event that the VWAP on any trading day is less than such conversion price, the conversion price will be adjusted to a price per share that is equal to a 22.5% discount to the lowest trading price of the Common Stock in the ten trading days prior to the date of conversion.
Warrants
Pursuant to the August Letter Agreement and in consideration for extending the Maturity Date of the Debenture as noted above, the Company issued the Purchaser warrants to purchase up to 960,000 shares of Common Stock (the “2016 Warrants”). The 2016 Warrants entitled the holder to purchase (i) up to 800,000 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $3.00 to $5.00 per share (the “Five Month Warrant”), and (ii) up to 160,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $25.00 per share (the “Two Year Warrant”). The Company also agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC, to register for resale the 960,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the 2016 Warrants. The Company calculated the 960,000 warrants at relative fair value, which was $910,178 and is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debenture in accordance with ASC 470-50-40-17. The 2016 Warrants were subsequently cancelled as part of the “December Letter Agreement” (see below).
The 2016 Warrants were immediately exercisable. On August 18, 2016, the Purchaser notified the Company of its exercise of 50,000 shares of Common Stock under the first tranche of the Five Month Warrant at a purchase price of $3.00 per share or $150,000 in the aggregate. These shares were later redeemed by the Company as part of the “December Letter Agreement.”

Pursuant to the Five Month Warrant, if the VWAP of the Common Stock for five consecutive days equaled or exceeded the exercise price of any tranche of the Five Month Warrant (each, as applicable, a “Callable Tranche”), and provided that the Company was in compliance with the Call Conditions as defined in the August Letter Agreement, the Company had the right to call on the Purchaser to exercise any warrants under a Callable Tranche up to an aggregate exercise price of $350,000. The Five Month Warrant generally limited the Company to one such call within a twenty trading day period. However, if the VWAP of the Common Stock for five consecutive trading days was at least 200% of the exercise price of any warrants under a Callable Tranche, the Company could make an additional call for the exercise of additional warrants under such Callable Tranche up to an aggregate exercise price of $600,000 prior to the passage of the twenty trading day period. If Delafield did not exercise the 2016 Warrants under a Callable Tranche when called by the Company under the terms of the August Letter Agreement, the Company could, at its option, cancel any or all outstanding warrants under the Five Month Warrant.
The exercise price and number of shares of the Common Stock issuable under the 2016 Warrants were subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and pro rata distributions. Any adjustment to the exercise price could similarly cause the number of shares underlying the 2016 Warrants to be adjusted so that the total value of the 2016 Warrants could have increased.
The Purchaser was subject to a beneficial ownership limitation under the 2016 Warrants such that the Company and the Purchaser would not affect any exercise of the 2016 Warrants that would cause the Purchaser (together with its affiliates) to beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the warrant. The Purchaser, upon notice to the Company, could increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation, provided that the beneficial ownership limitation may not exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise of the warrant.
The Five Month Warrant required us to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrant within 15 days after August 3, 2016, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC promptly thereafter and to remain effective for a period of at least twelve months from the date of effectiveness. This registration statement was filed on August 19, 2016, but was subsequently withdrawn as described below. In the event that a registration statement registering the resale of the shares underlying the Five Month Warrant was not effective on or before October 15, 2016, or was not maintained effective thereafter, the termination date of the Five Month Warrant would have been extended until such date that the shares were registered for at least a period of 90 days, but in no event later than April 30, 2017.
The Two Year Warrant required us to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares underlying the warrant within 15 days after August 3, 2016, and to use our commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC promptly thereafter and to remain effective for a period of at least six years from the date of effectiveness. The registration statement was filed on August 19, 2016, but was subsequently withdrawn as described below.

The rights and obligations of the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the Additional Issuance Debenture and the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Additional Issuance Debenture (the “New Underlying Shares”) are identical in all respects to the rights and obligations of the Purchaser and the Company with respect to the Debenture and the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable thereunder, except that the Purchaser will not receive any registration rights with respect to the New Underlying Shares and except as otherwise noted in the governing documents.
The Additional Issuance Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by, among and for the benefit of the parties. We also agreed to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred or sustained by the Purchaser, in connection with the transaction.
The Additional Issuance Debenture has a 10% original issue discount. The principal amount of the Additional Issuance Debenture accrues interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable quarterly in cash (or if certain conditions are met, in stock at the Company’s option) on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. The Additional Issuance Debenture is convertible at any time, in whole or in part, at Delafield’s option into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $7.50 (subject to adjustment) (the “Conversion Price”). If the VWAP of the Common Stock on any trading day is less than the then-current Conversion Price, the Purchaser may convert at a price per share equal to a twenty two and one half percent (22.5%) discount to the lowest trading price of the Common Stock in the ten trading days prior to the date of conversion.
The Purchaser is subject to the same ownership limitation in connection with the Additional Issuance Debenture as for the 2016 Warrants as described above. The Additional Issuance Debenture includes customary event of default provisions and provides for a default interest rate of 18%. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Purchaser may convert the Additional Issuance Debenture into shares of Common Stock at a price per share equal to a thirty percent (30%) discount to the average VWAP of the shares for the six trading days prior to conversion.
Subject to the conditions set forth in the Additional Issuance Debenture, we have the right at any time after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the original issuance of the Additional Issuance Debenture or (ii) the date on which the New Underlying Shares are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement, to redeem some or all of the total outstanding amount then remaining under the Additional Issuance Debenture in cash at a price equal to 125% of the total amount of the Additional Issuance Debenture outstanding on the twentieth (20th) trading date following the date the Company delivers notice of such redemption to Delafield.
At the sole election of the Purchaser, in lieu of receiving a cash payment for any principal amounts due on the Additional Issuance Debenture, the Purchaser may use all or any portion of any principal amounts owed to it to exercise outstanding warrants of the Company held by the Purchaser.
The issuance of the Additional Issuance Debenture to the Purchaser under the Additional Issuance Agreement was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company made this determination based on the representations of the Purchaser that it was acquiring the Additional Issuance Debenture for its own account with no intent to distribute the Additional Issuance Debenture. No general solicitation or general advertising was used in connection with the sale of the Additional Issuance Debenture and the Company had a pre-existing relationship with the Purchaser.
Our obligations under the Additional Issuance Debenture are secured by an unconditional and continuing, first priority security interest in all of the assets and property (as originally stated in the October 2015 agreement) of the Company until ten days following such time as the equity conditions set forth in the Additional Issuance Debenture are met, pursuant to the terms of the existing Security Agreement.
The Additional Issuance Debenture was originally scheduled to mature on September 13, 2017 but, as described below, the maturity date was extended to December 15, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the outstanding principal under the Additional Issuance Debenture along with $8,250 of accrued interest was fully converted (see Note 6).

December Letter Agreement
On December 2, 2016, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “December Letter Agreement”) with the Purchaser pursuant to which the parties agreed to cancel both the Two Year Warrant to purchase up to 160,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of the Company at an exercise price of $25.00 per share, and the Five Month Warrant to purchase in five tranches, at exercise prices between $3.00 and $5.00 per share, up to 800,000 shares of common stock, originally issued to the Purchaser on August 3, 2016.
Pursuant to the December Letter Agreement, the 50,000 restricted shares held by the Purchaser pursuant to its August 2016 exercise of such shares under the first tranche of the Five Month Warrant at a purchase price of $3.00 per share or $150,000 in the aggregate, were redeemed by the Company at a fair value of $112,500 upon the issuance and in exchange for an 8% convertible redeemable promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000 (the “Delafield Note”) due December 2, 2018. The Company recorded a $37,500 loss on settlement related to the cancellation of shares and issuance of the note. The note matures two years from the issuance date at which time any outstanding principal and interest is then due and payable. The Delafield Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to 65% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the conversion, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Delafield Note may be prepaid at any time at 135% of the principal amount plus any accrued interest. Upon an event of default, principal and accrued interest will become immediately due and payable and interest will accrue at a default interest rate of 18% per annum or the highest rate of interest permitted by law. This convertible notes is treated as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and accordingly the Company recorded an $80,769 put premium. As of December 31, 2017, the Company recorded accrued interest of $12,986 and the $150,000 remained outstanding.
In addition, the Company issued the Purchaser a two-year common stock purchase warrant to purchase 104,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.50 per share (the “New Warrant”). The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the New Warrant are subject to adjustments for certain reclassifications, subdivision or combination of shares. The New Warrant is being treated as a modification of an existing warrant under ASC 718-20-35-3 and has determined that since the valuation of the New Warrant does not exceed the value of the 2016 Warrants, the Company continued to amortize the remainder of the $910,178 value of the 2016 Warrant.
March Letter Agreement
On March 17, 2017, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “March Letter Agreement”) with the Purchaser pursuant to which the parties have agreed to revise certain terms of the Debenture. The Company and the Purchaser have agreed to extend the maturity date of the Debenture to September 30, 2017. In consideration for the extension of the maturity date, the Company began incurring interest on the aggregate unconverted and outstanding principal amount of the debenture as of February 28, 2017 ($911,294) based on the terms of the original debenture. Interest began accruing on February 28, 2017 and will accrue through and including December 31, 2017.
April Letter Agreement
On April 7, 2017, the Company entered into a letter agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which the parties agreed that on April 5, 2017, the Purchaser rescinded its conversion notice and returned 24,478 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Company to be held in treasury. These shares were issued to the Purchaser on February 21, 2017 as a result of its conversion of a portion of the Debenture.
The Purchaser further agreed that it would take no action to convert any further principal balance of the Debenture or sell any shares of the Company’s Common Stock until the earliest of April 10, 2017, or one trading day after the Company had anticipated effecting its planned reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-250.
The remaining principal balance of the Debenture was increased by an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock being returned to the Company multiplied by the conversion price provided for in the Debenture on the date of conversion or $46,477, resulting in a new principal balance of $957,771 as of close of business on April 5, 2017. The Company will continue to pay interest on the aggregate unconverted and outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to its terms, with interest on the returned amount of principal beginning to accrue on April 5, 2017.

September Letter Agreement

This waiver is not deemed to constitute an agreement by the Purchaser to waive any other event of default under the Debenture or the Additional Issuance Debenture that may exist as of the date the Letter Agreement was entered into.
The total principal amount outstanding under the above Delafield Financing Agreements, specifically the Debenture, as amended, the Additional Issuance Debenture and the Delafield Note was $490,181 as of December 31, 2017 and accrued interest totalled $16,899.

On April 11, 2017, the Company received payment of the December 12 Note Receivable in the amount of $100,000 that offset the December Eagle Back-End Note. Proceeds from the Note Receivable of $5,000 were paid directly to legal fees resulting in net cash proceeds of $95,000 received by the Company. As a result, the December 12 Eagle Back-End Note is now convertible. The December 12 Note and the December 12 Eagle Back-End Note are treated as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and accordingly the Company recorded a put premium of $66,667 as each of the notes were funded.

The July Note Receivable is due March 24, 2018, unless certain conditions are not met, in which case both the July Back-End Note and the July Note Receivable may both be cancelled. Both the July Note and the July Back-End Note have a maturity date one year from the date of issuance upon which any outstanding principal and interest is due and payable. The amounts cash funded plus accrued interest under both the July Note and the July Back-End Note are convertible into Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to 62% of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the conversion, subject to adjustment in certain events. The note is treated as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and accordingly the Company recorded a $98,065 put premium. The Company has recorded $5,646 of accrued interest as of December 31, 2017 for the July note. Total principal outstanding under the July Note as of December 31, 2017 was $160,000.
The July Note may be prepaid with certain penalties within 180 days of issuance. The July Back-End Note may not be prepaid. However, in the event the July Note is redeemed within the first six months of issuance prior to cash funding of the July Note Receivable, both the July Back-End Note and the July Note Receivable will be deemed cancelled and of no further effect.
The July Back-End Note will not be cash funded and such note, along with the July Note Receivable, will be immediately cancelled if the shares do not maintain a minimum trading price during the five days prior to such funding and a certain aggregate dollar trading volume during such period. Upon an event of default, principal and accrued interest will become immediately due and payable under the notes. Additionally, upon an event of default, both notes will accrue interest at a default interest rate of 24% per annum or the highest rate of interest permitted by law. Further, certain events of default may trigger penalty and liquidated damage provisions.

NOTE 10 - DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS and FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Derivative Financial Instruments:
The Company applies the provisions of ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which convertible instruments and warrants, which contain terms that protect holders from declines in the stock price (reset provisions), may not be exempt from derivative accounting treatment. As a result, warrants and embedded conversion options in convertible debt are recorded as a liability and are revalued at fair value at each reporting date. If the fair value of the warrants exceeds the face value of the related debt, the excess is recorded as change in fair value in operations on the issuance date. The Company has 12,000 warrants and $860,181 of convertible debt, which are treated as derivative instruments outstanding at December 31, 2017.
The Company calculates the estimated fair values of the liabilities for derivative instruments using the Binomial Trees Method. The closing price of the Company’s common stock at December 31, 2017 was $0.14. Volatility, expected remaining term and risk free interest rates used to estimate the fair value of derivative liabilities at December 31, 2017 are indicated in the table that follows. The volatility was based on historical volatility at December 31, 2017, the expected term is equal to the remaining term of the warrants and the risk free rate is based upon rates for treasury securities with the same term.

Overview
Propanc Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) was originally incorporated in Melbourne, Victoria Australia on October 15, 2007 as Propanc PTY LTD, and continues to be based in Camberwell, Victoria Australia. Since its inception, substantially all of the operations of the Company have been focused on the development of new cancer treatments targeting high-risk patients, particularly cancer survivors, who need a follow-up, non-toxic, long-term therapy designed to prevent the cancer from returning and spreading. The Company anticipates establishing global markets for its technologies. Our lead product candidate, which we refer to as PRP, is an enhanced pro-enzyme formulation designed to enhance the anti-cancer effects of multiple enzymes acting synergistically. It is currently in the preclinical phase of development.
On November 23, 2010, the Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware as Propanc Health Group Corporation. In January 2011, to reorganize the Company, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Propanc PTY LTD on a one-for-one basis making it a wholly-owned subsidiary.
38 |
Effective April 20, 2017, the Company changed its name to “Propanc Biopharma, Inc.” to better reflect the Company’s stage of growth and development.
To date, we have generated no revenue, have no cancer treatment products available to market and have no products which have reached the clinical trial stage. We require substantial additional financing to develop our products.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company covenants to pay or reimburse Eagle Equities for any fees and expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement along with other customary covenants, such as maintaining the quotation of the Company’s common stock on its existing quotation system.

On October 25, 2016 we completed a toxicokinetic study for PRP. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the toxicokinetic parameters of PRP after repeated, daily intravenous tail vein administration in rats and to evaluate distribution and bioavailability of the test articles, both before and after repeat exposure, over a 28-day period.
On December 22, 2016, we commenced a second GLP-compliant toxicity study for PRP. An animal group was administered low dosages intravenously, also over a 28-day period, after which the focus of the study expanded to medium and high dosages. On April 27, 2017, we announced the successful completion of this study. On August 2, 2017, we completed a pathology assessment of the GLP-compliant 28-day repeat-dose toxicity study and again observed no treatment related findings. This concluded the preclinical development phase of PRP and provides a safety margin for a dosage of PRP to be administered in future clinical trials. We currently intend to submit a clinical trial application in the United Kingdom.
In November 2017, we successfully developed a manufacturing process capable of purifying and stabilizing the two active drug substances of the PRP formulation, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen. The Company intends to commence engineering runs of manufacturing the finished drug product, prior to full scale GMP manufacture of PRP for human trials.
Intellectual Property Updates
In June 2017, we received a written opinion from the Australian Patent Office relating to our Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) application. Specifically, we were notified that a majority of the claims we made concerning our combination of trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen that comprises PRP were considered novel and several of them were considered inventive. The Australian Patent Office also found that the experimental data included in the application and the way it is presented adequately supported the pending claims.
In July 2017, we received notification of the acceptance of our lead patent application from the Chinese Patent Office.
In January 2018, we received notification of allowance of our lead patent application from the European Patent Office.
Orphan Drug Designation
In June 2017, we were notified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that PRP had been granted orphan drug designation for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Orphan drug designation may be granted by the FDA when a rare disease or condition is implicated and a potential treatment qualifies under the Orphan Drug Act and applicable FDA regulations. This qualifies us for various developmental incentives, including protocol assistance, the potential for research grants, the waiver of future application fees, and tax credits for clinical testing if we choose to host future clinical trials in the United States.
In October 2017, we submitted a request for a second orphan drug designation for PRP, this time for ovarian cancer.
On November 2, 2017, we were notified by the FDA that our request was not granted. The Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) stated that complete prevalence is used as a measure of disease in ovarian cancer, as this reflects the number of women who have been diagnosed with disease and may be eligible for treatment with the proposed therapy. Therefore, on the date of the submission of our application, the OOPD estimated that the prevalence of ovarian cancer was 228,110 cases. Since the prevalence exceeds the threshold of 200,000 to qualify for orphan drug designation, they could not grant our request.

Consulting Agreements
On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into a one-year consulting agreement with Alan Morell for certain consulting, advisory and media services. As compensation for such services, the Company agreed to pay (i) an hourly fee, for up to $71,250 of time-based services; (ii) $9,772 for the preparation of certain marketing materials; (iii) an upfront fee of 500,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, with up to 750,000 additional shares to be issued in six months at the Company’s sole discretion, and (iv) a marketing bonus equal to 6% of the value of any: (x) business collaboration with the Company which is identified or introduced by Mr. Morrell; or (y) joint venture, licensing, collaboration or similar monetization or strategic transaction (other than any capital-raising transaction) which is identified or introduced by Mr. Morrell. The Company may, in its sole discretion, pay any of the aforementioned fees in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock. If such fees are paid in stock, the number of shares to be paid shall be calculated by dividing the dollar amount of time (or value of the transaction, as the case may be) invoiced in such pay period by, as of the applicable calculation date, the most recent price at which the Company has sold shares of its common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) in a bona fide public or private financing including third party investors.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Below is a discussion of our more subjective accounting estimation processes for purposes of explaining (i) the methodology used in calculating the estimates, (ii) the inherent uncertainties pertaining to such estimates and (iii) the possible effects of a significant variance in actual experience, from that of the estimate, on the Company’s financial condition. Estimates involve numerous assumptions that, if incorrect, could create a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Reference is frequently made herein to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). This is the source of authoritative US GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to non-governmental entities. Each ASC reference in this filing is presented with a three-digit number, which represents its Topic. As necessary for explanation and as applicable, an ASC topic may be followed with a two-digit subtopic, a two-digit section or a two-or-three digit paragraph.
Foreign Currency Translation and Comprehensive Income (Loss): The Company’s functional currency is the AUD. For financial reporting purposes, the AUD has been translated into USD as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss as other income (expense).
Accounting for Income Taxes: The Company is governed by Australia and United States income tax laws, which are administered by the Australian Taxation Office and the United States Internal Revenue Service, respectively. The Company follows ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company adopted provisions of ASC 740, Sections 25 through 60, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” These sections provide detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of ASC 740 and in subsequent periods.
43 |
Accounting for Stock Based Compensation: The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 issued by the SEC in March 2005 regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The statement also requires the recognition of compensation expense for the fair value of any unvested stock option awards outstanding at the date of adoption. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.”
Derivative Instruments: ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities by requiring that all derivatives be recognized in the balance sheet and measured at fair value. Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized in earnings. On the date of conversion of debt, the Company records the fair value of the conversion shares, removes the fair value of the related derivative liability, removes any discounts and records a net gain or loss on debt extinguishment.
Convertible Notes With Variable Conversion Options: The Company has entered into convertible notes, some of which contain variable conversion options, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted, by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the price of the common stock at the time of conversion. The Company treats these convertible notes as stock settled debt under ASC 480 and measures the fair value of the notes at the time of issuance, which is the result of the share price discount at the time of conversion, and records the put premium as accretion to interest expense to the date of first conversion.
Research and Development Tax Credits: The Company may apply for Research and Development tax concessions with the Australian Taxation Office on an annual basis. Although the amount is possible to estimate at year end, the Australian Taxation Office may reject or materially alter the claim amount. Accordingly, the Company does not recognize the benefit of the claim amount until cash receipt since collectability is not certain until such time. The tax concession is a refundable credit. If the Company has net income then the Company can receive the credit which reduces its income tax liability. If the Company has net losses, then the Company may still receive a cash payment for the credit, however, the Company’s net operating loss carry forwards are reduced by the gross equivalent loss that would produce the credit amount when the income tax rate is applied to that gross amount. The concession is recognized as an income tax benefit, in operations, upon receipt.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference is made to “Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements” under Note 1 of the Unaudited Condensed Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements.
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The results discussed below are of the Company and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Propanc Pty Ltd.
For the Three Months Ended December 31, 2017 compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2016
Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we generated no revenue because we are currently undertaking research and development activities for market approval and there were no sales generated in this period. We do not expect to make significant revenues for several years.
44 |
Administration Expenses
Administration expenses decreased to $395,442 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $1,735,893 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in stock based expense of approximately $330,000, which is related to a grant of stock options to our directors in April 2016 along with a decrease of approximately $320,000 related to stock based consulting fees. Additionally, consulting fees decreased by approximately $256,000 and wages decreased by approximately $205,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2017.
Occupancy Expense
Occupancy expense increased by $908 to $6,899 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The increase relates to the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates along with an approximately $700 decrease in occupancy in the months ended December 31, 2016 related to a reclassification of expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $1,034,729 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $167,202 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to an increase in clinical development expenses for PRP, as the purchase of the two proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, for the PRP formulation, raw material purification of the proenzymes, manufacturing, process development, and commencement of GMP manufacturing of the finished drug product intended for use in future First-In-Human studies increased in October 2017 as the Company advances towards full scale manufacturing. Additionally, the use of development & regulatory consultants also increased to support process development and manufacturing.
Interest Expense/Income
Interest expense decreased to $486,754 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $1,255,627 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. Interest expense is primarily comprised of $186,000 debt discount amortization and $267,000 in accretion of put premium. This decrease is primarily attributable to the conversion of derivative debt resulting in lower amortization of debt discount offset by higher accretion amounts of convertible notes with discounted debt features during the three months ended December 31, 2017.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities increased by $221,065 to a loss of $260,045 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 from a loss of $38,980 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the issuance of convertible notes with repricing options and variable conversion pricing.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction loss decreased to $142,944 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to a loss of $425,323 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in foreign currency transaction loss is primarily attributable to greater fluctuation in exchange rates in the three months ended December 31, 2016 than in the three months ended December 31, 2017.
Net loss
Net loss decreased to $2,201,979 for the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $3,760,913 for the three months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to an approximately $1,340,000 decrease in administrative expenses and an approximately $769,000 decrease in interest expense as well as the net effect of fluctuations within changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and foreign currency transactions gains.
For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2017 compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2016
Revenue
For the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we generated no revenue because we are currently undertaking research and development activities for market approval and there were no sales generated in this period.

Administration Expenses
Administration expenses decreased to $1,026,848 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $2,740,396 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. This decrease is attributable to a decrease in stock based expense of approximately $660,000, which is related to a grant of stock options to our directors in April 2016 along with a decrease of approximately $420,000 related to stock based consulting fees. Additionally wages decreased by approximately $230,000, investor relations decreased by $170,000 and consulting fees decreased by approximately $100,000 in the year ended December 31, 2017.
Occupancy Expense
Occupancy expense increased by $1,141 to $15,729 for the six months ended December 31, 2017. The increase relates to the fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates along with an approximately $700 decrease in occupancy in the months ended December 31, 2016 related to a reclassification of expenses.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $1,598,468 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $328,399 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in research and development expenses is primarily due to an increase in clinical development expenses for PRP, as the purchase of the two proenzymes, trypsinogen and chymotrypsinogen, for the PRP formulation, raw material purification of the proenzymes, manufacturing process development and commencement of GMP manufacturing of the finished drug product intended for use in future First-In-Human studies increased in October 2017, as the Company advances towards full scale manufacturing. Additionally, the use of development & regulatory consultants also increased to support process development and manufacturing. Additionally, the use of development & regulatory consultants also increased to support process development and manufacturing, submission to the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for a request for Orphan Drug Designation status for the treatment of pancreatic cancer and preparation for a scientific advice meeting with the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), UK, planned for the first quarter of 2018.
Interest Expense/Income
Interest expense decreased to $1,379,186 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $1,727,014 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. Interest expense is primarily comprised of $534,000 debt discount amortization and $743,000 in accretion of put premium. This decrease is primarily attributable to the conversion of derivative debt resulting in lower amortization of debt discount offset by higher accretion amounts of convertible notes with discounted debt features during the six months ended December 31, 2017.
Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities decreased by $560,164 from a gain of $330,393 for the six months ended December 31, 2016 to a loss of $229,771 for the six months ended December 31, 2017. This decrease is primarily attributable to an increase in the issuance of convertible notes with repricing options and variable conversion pricing.
Foreign Currency Transaction Gain (Loss)
Foreign currency transaction loss decreased to $9,152 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to a loss of $251,334 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease in foreign currency transaction gain is primarily attributable to greater fluctuation in exchange rates in the six months ended December 31, 2016 than in the six months ended December 31, 2017.
Net loss
Net loss decreased to $4,125,722 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared with $4,862,882 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. The decrease is primarily attributable to an approximately $1,714,000 decrease in administrative expenses and an approximately $348,000 decrease in interest expense as well as the net effect of fluctuations within changes in fair value of derivative liabilities and foreign currency transactions gains.

Net cash provided by financing activities | $ | 1,274,000 | $ | 959,285 | ||||
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | $ | (159,221) | $ | (32,809 | ) |
Net cash used in operations was $1,071,326 for the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $1,004,628 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. This fluctuation is due to a decrease in accrued expenses in the six months ended December 31, 2017 related to the payment of an accrued bonus to an officer of approximately $120,000, along with fluctuations in changes in foreign currency transaction gains and losses, changes related to the valuation of new derivative liabilities and the revaluation of existing derivative liabilities in the six months ending December 31, 2017.
Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2017 were $1,274,000 compared to $959,285 for the six months ended December 31, 2016. During the six months ended December 31, 2017, we had proceeds from convertible promissory notes of $1,274,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, we had proceeds from convertible promissory notes of $495,000 and proceeds from the exercise of warrants of approximately $464,000.
The effect of the exchange rate on cash resulted in a $159,221 negative adjustment to cash flows in the six months ending December 31, 2017 compared to a negative adjustment of $32,809 to cash flows in the six months ending December 31, 2016. The reason for the fluctuation is due to the application of translation rates throughout the cash flow statement, the volume of transactions within each period and the daily fluctuation in exchange rates.
We have substantial capital resource requirements and have incurred significant losses since inception. As of December 31, 2017, we had $112,496 in cash. Total debt outstanding at December 31, 2017 was $3,194,381. Based upon our current business plans, we will need considerable cash investments to be successful. Such capital requirements are in excess of what we have in available cash and for which we currently have commitments. Therefore, we presently do not have enough available cash to meet our obligations over the next twelve (12) months. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, this may affect our operations and ability to complete ongoing activities in connection with our research and development programs. If we do not raise sufficient capital we will reduce our R&D activities to minimize overheads. Further, we may consider possible licensing of our drug product, JV’s or mergers.
Going Concern Qualification
We have incurred significant losses and cash used in operations, and such losses and use of cash are expected to continue. Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has included a “Going Concern Qualification” in their report for the years ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. In addition, we have negative working capital. The foregoing raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include seeking additional capital or debt financing. There is no guarantee that additional capital or debt financing will be available when and to the extent required, or that if available, it will be on terms acceptable to us. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The “Going Concern Qualification” might make it substantially more difficult to raise capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of James Nathanielsz, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that (i) 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 and (ii) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company is undertaking to improve its internal control over financial reporting and improve its disclosure controls and procedures. As of December 31, 2017, we identified the following material weaknesses that still exist through the date of this report:
As of December 31, 2017 and as of the date of filing this report, we did not maintain effective controls over the disclosure control environment. Specifically, the Company lacks accounting personnel with technical knowledge in certain debt and equity transactions. Additionally, because of the size of the Company’s administrative staff, controls related to the segregation of certain duties have not been developed and the Company has not been able to adhere to them. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017, as filed with the SEC. These factors could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and capital position, and could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical results or the results contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Shares issued for conversion of debt
See Note 5 to the Company’s financial statements for dates and amounts of conversions of principal of convertible debt by various parties including Delafield, Eagle Equities and Regal Consulting, LLC.
The shares of common stock issued upon conversion of the convertible debt were sold without registration in reliance on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
