NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

ARTELO BIOSCIENCES, INC. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on May 2, 2011, and based in San Diego County, California. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.

  

The Company registered fully owned subsidiaries in Ireland, Trinity Reliant Ventures Limited, on November 11, 2016, and in the UK, Trinity Research & Development Limited, on June 2, 2017. On January 8, 2020, Trinity Research and Development Limited changed its name to Artelo Biosciences Limited. The Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Canada, Artelo Biosciences Corporation, on March 18, 2020. Operations in the subsidiaries have been consolidated in the financial statements.

   

The Company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing treatments intended to modulate the endocannabinoid system.

 

COVID-19

 

As the COVID-19 pandemic is still evolving at this time and much of its impact remains unknown, the Company is not able to predict the impact it may have on the development of its product candidates and business. The severity of the COVID-19 pandemic could also negatively impact the Company’s access to its existing supply chain by delaying the delivery of key raw materials used in its product candidates and therefore delay the delivery of such products for use in its clinical trials. Any of these results could have a material adverse impact to our business.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred losses for the past several years and a net loss of $7,437 during the year ended August 31, 2021. Subsequent to August 31, 2021, we completed an offering for net proceeds of approximately $18,262, which substantially increased our cash and cash equivalents and improved our working capital position (Note 9). Consequently, our existing cash resources and cash received from the public offering are expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations for at least 12 months from the date that our consolidated financial statements are issued.
