NOVACCESS GLOBAL INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS- UNAUDITED
JUNE 30, 2024 AND 2023
1. ORGANIZATION AND LINE OF BUSINESS
Organization
NovAccess Global Inc. ("NovAccess" or the "Company") is a Colorado corporation formerly known as Sun River Mining Inc. and XsunX, Inc. The Company was originally incorporated in Colorado on February 25, 1997. Effective September 24, 2003, the Company completed a plan of reorganization and name change to XsunX, Inc. Effective August 25, 2020, we filed articles of amendment to our articles of incorporation with the Colorado Secretary of State to: effectuate a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock; and change the name of the Company to "NovAccess Global Inc." After completing the acquisition of StemVax LLC in September 2020, we exited the solar business and focused all our efforts on our biopharmaceutical business.
Line of Business
NovAccess Global Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company that is developing novel immunotherapies to treat brain tumor patients in the United States with plans to expand globally. We specialize in cutting-edge research related to utilizing a patient's own immune system to attack the cancer. We are filing an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) and working closely with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval for human clinical trials to determine the safety and efficacy of our drug product for brain cancer patients. Once we have successfully completed the clinical trials and proven that the new therapy is safe and efficacious, we plan to commercialize the product. We also have expertise in successfully executing clinical trials, bringing products to market and increasing the market size of products through our advisory board. Our scientists are well versed in immunology, stem cell biology, neuroscience, molecular biology, imaging, small molecules development, gene therapy and other technical assays needed for protein and genetic analysis of cancer cells.
NovAccess operates as a research and development (R&D) company out of Ohio and California, and our executive management and scientific advisory board provide over 15 years of extensive experience in all aspects of biopharmaceutical R&D and commercialization of drug candidates.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, additional cash infusions. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders and from lenders since its inception through the period ended June 30, 2024. Management believes the existing shareholders, prospective new investors and lenders will provide the additional cash needed to meet the Company's obligations as they become due and will allow the development of its business.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of NovAccess Global Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary StemVax, LLC. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions between these entities have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include the estimate of the deferred tax valuation allowance, the fair value of stock options, warrants, and derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and money markets with an original maturity of three months or less.
Stock-Based Compensation
Share-based Payment applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. We are required to follow a fair value approach using an option-pricing model, such as the Binomial lattice valuation model, at the date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option. This has not had a material impact on our results of operations.
Net Earnings (Loss) per Share Calculations
Net earnings (loss) per share dictates the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
The computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic net earnings (loss) per share except that the numerator may have to adjust for income or loss associated with potentially dilutive securities that are assumed to have resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock, and the denominator may have to adjust to include the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential shares of common stock had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from shares of common stock issuable through stock options, warrants or convertible preferred stock. For purposes of determining diluted earnings per common share, the treasury stock method is used for stock options and warrants, and the if-converted method is used for convertible preferred stock as prescribed in ASC Topic 260.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value information, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, where it is practicable to estimate that value. As of June 30, 2024, the balances reported for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses approximate the fair value because of their short maturities.
We adopted Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820 for financial instruments measured as fair value on a recurring basis. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). These tiers include:
● |
Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; |
● |
Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and |
● |
Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2023, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-11216, Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance, and Incident Disclosure, requiring disclosure of material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K and periodic disclosure of a registrant's cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance in annual reports. Regulation S-K Item 6 disclosure requirements under this rule will be effective for our fiscal year ending on September 30, 2024. The Company has adopted this final rule, and it did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated finance statement disclosures.
In October 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-06, which incorporates 14 of the 27 disclosures referred to by the SEC in their SEC Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, issued on August 17, 2018. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected Topics unless otherwise indicated. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively. For public business entities, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company has evaluated the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2022-03, and it is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures", which amends and enhances the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. All disclosure requirements under this standard will also be required for public entities with a single reportable segment. The new standard will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-08, "Accounting for and Disclosure of Crypto Assets", which amends and enhances the disclosure requirements for crypto assets. The new requirements will be effective for public business entities for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company has evaluated the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2022-08, and it is not expected to have an impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which requires companies to provide disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements will be effective for public business entities for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
3. INVESTMENT
On May 17, 2024, the Company subscribed and agreed to purchase 362,956 shares of Fendix Media Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company, par value £0.001 per share, from Dawn Digital Limited, a special purpose holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, in exchange for 14,795,455 shares of the Company's common stock. Fendix Media Limited partners with the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS) Trusts and Health Boards to deliver live, embedded, diverse and relevant digital content via NHS staff intranets. The Company's investment represents approximately 18.6% ownership in Fendix Media Limited.
This investment consists of an equity investment in a private company through common shares that is accounted for at cost, with adjustments for observable changes in prices or impairments, and is classified as long-term equity investment on our consolidated balance sheets with adjustments recognized in other (expense) income, net on our consolidated statements of operations. The Company has determined that the equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value and elected the measurement alternative. Therefore, the equity investment's carrying amount will be adjusted to fair value at the time of the next observable price change for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer or when an impairment is recognized. Each reporting period, the Company performs a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether the investment is impaired. The assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends, recent sales/acquisitions of the investee securities, and other publicly available data. If the investment is impaired, the Company writes it down to its estimated fair value. As of June 30, 2024 the long-term equity investment had a carrying value of $221,932.

Evaluation of Financing Transactions
We evaluated the financing transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the conversion feature of the convertible promissory notes was not afforded the exemption for conventional convertible instruments due to thier variable conversion rates. The notes have no explicit limit on the number of shares issuable so they did not meet the conditions set forth in current accounting standards for equity classification. The Company elected to recognize the notes under paragraph 815-15-25-4, whereby, there would be a separation into a host contract and derivative instrument. The Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the notes in their entirety at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company recorded a derivative liability representing the imputed interest associated with the embedded derivative. The derivative liability is adjusted periodically according to the stock price fluctuations based upon the Binomial lattice model calculation.

5. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES (Continued)
The convertible notes issued and described in this Note do not have fixed settlement provisions because their conversion prices are not fixed. The conversion feature has been characterized as a derivative liability to be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations.
We record the full value of the derivative as a liability at issuance with an offset to valuation discount, which will be amortized over the life of the notes.
For purpose of determining the fair market value of the derivative liability for the embedded conversion, the Company used Binomial lattice valuation model. The significant assumptions used in the Binomial lattice valuation of the derivatives are as follows:
Risk free interest rate |
Between 5.1% and 5.5% |
|
Stock volatility factor |
Between 94% and 229% |
|
Years to Maturity |
Between 1.6 months and 12 months |

11. DUE TO RELATED PARTIES
Due to Innovest Global
During the periods prior to the year ended September 30, 2022, Innovest Global, Inc. ("Innovest") advanced funds to the Company for operating expenses in the amount of $86,217. As of June 30, 2024, the amount has not been reimbursed to Innovest. Our former Chairman Daniel Martin was the CEO of Innovest when the funds were advanced.
Due to TN3 LLC
On January 31, 2022, the Company entered into a preferred stock redemption agreement with Daniel G. Martin, at the time, sole board member and chairman, TN3, LLC, a company owned by Mr. Martin, Dwain K. Irvin, the chief executive officer, and Irvin Consulting, LLC, a company owned by Dr. Irvin. TN3 owned 25,000 shares of the Series B convertible preferred stock. Pursuant to the redemption agreement, on March 14, 2022, NovAccess redeemed 24,400 of the preferred shares and Irvin Consulting purchased 600 of the preferred shares from TN3. The Company also issued to TN3 1,502,670 shares of unregistered common stock, at $ 0.35 amounting to $525,934 which was equal to 10% of our outstanding common stock on the date the redemption agreement was signed. Upon completion of the redemption transaction, the Company was obligated to pay to TN3 a total of $250,000 over a period of eleven months, with payment accelerated if the Company raises at least $2.5 million of equity capital. As of June 30, 2024, the Company owed TN3 $95,000 of the redemption price and was in default.
Also in connection with closing the redemption transaction, on March 14, 2022, the Company entered into a common stock distribution agreement with Innovest Global, Inc. Innovest acquired 7.5 million shares of the common stock when Innovest sold StemVax, LLC to NovAccess in September 2020. Pursuant to the stock distribution agreement, Innovest agreed to distribute its NovAccess common stock to Innovest's shareholders. Innovest has not completed the distribution.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Sumner Global Investment
On December 29, 2023, NovAccess Global Inc. entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "purchase agreement") with Sumner Global LLC, an affiliate of Sumner Investment Group Inc. ("Sumner"), pursuant to which Sumner agreed to purchase 33.0 million newly issued shares of our unregistered common stock for $0.11 a share, or $3.63 million in total, and to loan us $7.05 million (collectively, the "transaction"). We expect to use this investment to fund operations and repay debt. Sumner is a global company that has created value across a diverse range of assets focusing on the procurement of products and services for governments and corporations around the world with an emphasis on healthcare, defense and logistics.
Sumner agreed to purchase the shares of common stock on or before January 31, 2023. Sumner agreed to make the loans in two tranches, with $3.05 million on February 15, 2024, and the remaining $4.0 million on March 15, 2024. The loans will be represented by convertible promissory notes that will have a five-year term, bear interest at 10% a year, and be convertible into shares of NovAccess common stock at $0.11 a share.
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Sumner has the right to appoint up to three new members to our board of directors. The purchase agreement also includes typical representations, warranties and covenants.
As required by the purchase agreement, Irvin Consulting, LLC, a California limited liability company owned by our CEO Dwain K. Irvin, agreed to convert 600 shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock into 6.0 million shares of the Company's unregistered common stock pursuant to the terms of the preferred stock (the "conversion"). The conversion will be effective upon our receipt of the $3.63 million purchase price for the common stock purchased by Sumner. Upon completion of the conversion, we will not have any shares of preferred stock outstanding.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (Continued)
The purchase agreement, including a form of convertible promissory note, is filed as an exhibit on Form 8-K. The description above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the purchase agreement.
The transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including Sumner completing its planned capital raise and there having been no material adverse effect on our business, operations, assets, financial condition or prospects. Sumner has experienced delays in obtaining the requisite capital, and as a result the investment did not occur when expected. As of the date of this report, we cannot guarantee that the transaction will be completed, but based on assurances from Sumner, the investment is expected to close shortly.
The Company continued to have discussions with Sumner subsequent to the period ended June 30, 2024 but as of the filing date the investment has not closed.
Loan Agreements
On August 16, 2024, AJB loaned the Company $33,340 on similar terms to the September 18 loan described above. In connection with the August 16 loan, we issued one million shares of our common stock to AJB as a commitment fee.
On September 18, 2024, NovAccess Global Inc. ("we," "NovAccess" or the "company") entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "SPA") with AJB Capital Investments, LLC ("AJB") and issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $65,000 (the "note") to AJB pursuant to the SPA. NovAccess will use the loan proceeds for the repayment of debt, operations, and to pay expenses related to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
The AJB note has an original issuance discount of 10% of the principal, bears interest at 12% a year, and is due on March 18, 2025. We must repay the note with the proceeds of an offering in connection with uplisting to a national securities exchange exceeding $5.0 million and may otherwise prepay the note at any time without penalty. Under the terms of the note, we may not sell a significant portion of our assets without the approval of AJB, may not issue additional debt that is not subordinate to AJB, must comply with the company's reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and must maintain the listing of the company's common stock on the OTC Market or other exchange, among other restrictions and requirements. Our failure to make required payments under the note or to comply with any of these covenants, among other matters, would constitute an event of default. Upon an event of default under the SPA or note, the note will bear interest at 18%, AJB may immediately accelerate the note due date, AJB may convert the amount outstanding under the note into shares of NovAccess common stock at a discount to the market price of the stock, and AJB will be entitled to its costs of collection, among other penalties and remedies. In addition, depending on the nature of the default, all amounts outstanding under the note will be multiplied by two as a default penalty.
In connection with the loan, we issued a seven-year prefunded stock purchase warrants to AJB to purchase a total of two million shares of our common stock for $0.0001 a share. We provided customary representations and covenants to AJB in the SPA. The company's breach of any representation or failure to comply with the covenants would constitute an event of default. We also entered into a fourth amendment to the February 15, 2022 security agreement with AJB pursuant to which we granted to AJB a security interest in all of the company's assets, including the equity of StemVax, LLC, securing the company's obligations under the SPA and note. In addition, we entered into a registration rights agreement with AJB pursuant to which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form S-1 by December 17, 2024 to register for resale the shares issuable upon conversion of the note and exercise of the warrants.
On October 23, 2024, AJB increased the principal on the September 18, 2024 note by $11,111 to $76,111 and the Company received $10,000 net of original issuance discount.
Extension of Due Dates on Loans
On September 24, 2024, the related parties of Jason Anderson and the Holder of the July 22, 2023, Note, at the request of the Company agreed to an extension of the loans due date to October 31, 2024.
On August 16, 2024, the Holder of the August 2022 Note agreed to repayment plan requiring full repayment of principal and interest by February 27, 2024.
On October 16, 2024, the Holder of the February 2022 Note, May 2022 Note, February 2023 Letter Agreement, June 19, 2023 Letter Agreement, December 29, 2023 Letter Agreement, and the February 27, 2024 Note agreed to a further extension on their loans until October 31, 2024.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Cautionary and Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in this Quarterly Report and under "Item 1A: Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023.
We undertake no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report. Readers should carefully review the factors described in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the SEC.
Organization
NovAccess Global Inc. is a Colorado corporation that was formerly known as XsunX, Inc. and Sun River Mining Inc.
Business Plan
In 2020, we transitioned our operations from solar contracting operations to the commercialization of developmental healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health and wellness markets. On June 2, 2020, we entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Innovest Global, Inc. to acquire StemVax, LLC ("StemVax") for 7.5 million shares of our unregistered common stock. The acquisition was completed on September 8, 2020.
StemVax is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for brain tumor patients that holds an exclusive patent license from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California (Cedars-Sinai) known as StemVax Glioblast (SVX-GB/TLR-AD1). TLR-AD1 specifically targets glioblastoma, the most common and lethal type of adult brain tumor. Christopher Wheeler, President of StemVax, has been involved in the pre-clinical research and development of the drug candidate at Cedars-Sinai Department of Neurosurgery since 1997. Dr. Wheeler began preparing the pre-IND application to obtain U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval to start human clinical trials. In 2021, Dr. Wheeler led pre-IND interactions with the FDA and obtained a recommended roadmap from the FDA to facilitate the filing of an IND application for a Phase I application or a Phase IIa application. We currently plan to submit an IND application in 2024 if funding is available. In August 2022, we filed an application with the FDA for orphan drug designation ("ODD") for TLR-AD1, which was granted in October 2022. Receiving ODD status represents a milestone in the development of TLR-AD1 and provides us with multiple incentives, including seven-year marketing exclusivity and federal tax credits, among other benefits.
We believe that investing in the biotechnology industry will significantly increase value for our shareholders. However, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in this endeavor or that we can obtain the funding necessary to commercialize StemVax Glioblast or locate, acquire and finance the acquisition of additional biotechnology companies.
Recent Events
On April 22, 2024, we procured a new intellectual property license from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to further advance the Company's immunotherapy platform. The license pertains to the use of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1), a protein previously known to impact cell metabolism, to predict responsiveness to vaccine immunotherapy in treating highly malignant brain tumors such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). IDH1 is commonly mutated in brain and other tumors, but research published by the president of StemVax shows that it surprisingly predicts antitumor responses after vaccine therapy through a unique molecular mechanism. Because of this, IDH1 expression discerns long from short survivors after vaccine therapy in patients with brain tumors such as GBM.
Results of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to three months ended June 30, 2023
Revenue and Cost of Sales
The Company generated no revenue or cost of goods sold in the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $166,433 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $278,048 as compared to $444,481 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in SG&A expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2024, was related primarily to lower expense on warrants issued in connection with loans which accounted for $173,424 of the reduction. All other selling general and administrative expenses netted to an increase of $6,991.
Research and development expenses
The research and development expense marginally decreased by $2,863 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, to $37,301 as compared to $40,164 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of lower expenses for consulting services.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other expenses increased by $325,990 from other expense of $294,994 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, to other expense of $620,984 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The change in derivative liability was a loss of $445,500 compared to a gain of $78,871 in the prior year's three months. This increase in loss of $524,421 was partially offset by lower interest expense of $109,344 resulting from less discount amortization and a reduction in the expense for the commitment fee guarantee of $129,790 since there was little change in the stock price during the 2024 quarter. The estimates of fair market value are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements' estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.
Net Income/(Loss)
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our net loss increased by $156,694, to $936,333 as compared to a net loss of $779,639 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of the changes discussed above.

The decrease in SG&A expenses during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, was related primarily to a reduction in stock-based compensation of $563,314 for options granted in the prior year, a reduction in warrants issued for a value of $386,912 in the prior year period compared to $93,988 in the current period, a reduction in investor relations expenses of $250,872, and a reduction in the commitment fee expense for shares issued in connection with new loans of $68,750.
Research and development Expenses
The research and development expense increased by $7,109 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, to $123,273 as compared to $116,164 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. $5,000 of the increase relates to a new license fee.
Other Income/(Expenses)
Other income increased by $1,508,646 from other expense of $900,530 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, to other income of $680,116 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily due to the Company recording an increase in gain on change in derivative liability of $1,326,206 and a reduction in interest expense of $493,728 due to lower debt amortization cost. These gains were partially offset by an increase in the commitment fee guarantee of $198,585. The estimates of fair market value are based on multiple inputs, including the market price of our stock, interest rates, our stock price, volatility, variable conversion prices based on market prices defined in the respective agreements and probabilities of certain outcomes based on managements' estimates. These inputs are subject to significant changes from period to period, therefore, the estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities will fluctuate from period to period, and the fluctuation may be material.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had a working capital deficit at June 30, 2024, of $7,647,154 as compared to a working capital deficit of $7,798,484, as of September 30, 2023. The decrease of $151,330 in the working capital deficit was the result of a decrease in the derivative liability amounting to $1,080,647 offset by increases of $224,050 in accounts payable and $800,003 in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2024, our cash flow used by operating activities was $159,975 as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $469,786 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash flow used by operating activities was due to reduced payments as a result of the difficulties in obtaining funding.
Cash flow used by investing activities was $0 during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, and June 30, 2023.
Cash flow provided by financing activities was $139,354 for the nine months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to cash provided by financing activities of $467,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash flow provided by financing activities reflects the difficulty in raising funds due to the delays in the proposed Sumner financing.
The Company will need to raise additional funds to finance its ongoing operations, complete its IND application to the FDA and to make payments under its loan agreements. We expect this will require at least $3.0 million through December 31, 2025. We plan to raise this capital through the issuance of additional common stock as well as obtaining additional debt as needed. On December 29, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Sumner Global LLC, an affiliate of Sumner Investment Group Inc. ("Sumner"), pursuant to which Sumner agreed to purchase 33.0 million newly issued shares of our unregistered common stock for $0.11 a share, or $3.63 million in total, and to loan us $7.05 million. The transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including Sumner completing its planned capital raise and there having been no material adverse effect on our business, operations, assets, financial condition or prospects. As a result, we cannot guarantee that the transaction will be completed when we expect, or whether the transaction will close at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance-sheet arrangements or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As a result, we are not exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Significant estimates made in preparing these consolidated financial statements include the estimate of useful lives of property and equipment, the deferred tax valuation allowance, the fair value of stock options, and derivative liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Because NovAccess is a "smaller reporting company" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are not required to provide additional market risk disclosure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management team, with the participation of our chief executive officer and acting CFO, Dwain K. Irvin evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of NovAccess' disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under the Securities Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2024. Based upon this evaluation, Dr. Irvin concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our senior management team is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, defined under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board, senior management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We continue to review our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.
There was a change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by the Securities Exchange Act that occurred during our third fiscal quarter as we established enhanced review procedures to eliminate adjustments to our financial statements identified by our independent auditors.

Please refer to the risk factors listed under "Item 1A: Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023, for information relating to certain risk factors applicable to NovAccess.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we issued 208,752 unregistered shares of our common stock for accounting and investor relations services. 108,750 of these shares were issued to a related party. The issuances of shares to our service providers were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
Although we have negotiated extensions for the payment dates of many of our loans, during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and subsequent to quarter-end, the Company failed to make payments when required and to otherwise comply with the covenants of several of the company's debts. For example, we are filing this Quarterly Report after its due date, which is a breach under several of our loan agreements. Although we are pursuing financing that would allow us to pay our debts when due, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing in a timely manner, or at all. For additional information concerning defaults under our loan agreements and extension of the due dates for our loans, please see Notes 5, Convertible Promissory Notes, and 13, Subsequent Events, of the notes to our consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report.
