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 (“GAAP”), and the Company’s fiscal year end is August 31.

 

The Company registered wholly-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.

 

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutics that target lipid-signaling pathways, including the endocannabinoid system (the “ECS”), a family of receptors and neurotransmitters that form a biochemical communication network throughout the body.

 

Change in fiscal year

 

On September 17, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change to the Company’s fiscal year end from August 31 to December 31. The Company’s next fiscal year will begin on January 1, 2022, and end on December 31, 2022. The Company expects to file a transition report under Rules 13a-10 or 15d-10 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) in early 2022.

 

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 materially adverse impact to our business.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company has incurred losses for the past several years and a net loss of $2,548 during the three months ended November 30, 2021. During the three months ended November 30, 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. Consequently, our existing cash resources and cash received from the public offering are expected to provide sufficient funds to carry out our planned operations into the second half of 2023.
