THC THERAPEUTICS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND HISTORY
Description of business- THC Therapeutics, Inc. (referred to as the "Company") is focused developing its patented product, the dHydronator®, a sanitizing herb dryer. The main function of the dHydronator is to greatly accelerate the drying time of a herb while sanitizing it. The dHydronator can be used to dry a variety of herbs, but it has been specifically tested for use with cannabis, and it can reduce the drying time for cannabis from 10-14 days to less than 14 hours.
History- The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 1, 2007, as Fairytale Ventures, Inc., and later changed its name to Aviation Surveillance Systems, Inc. and Harmonic Energy, Inc. On January 23, 2017, the Company changed its name to THC Therapeutics, Inc.
On May 30, 2017, the Company formed Genesis Float Spa LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to market its float spa assets purchased for wellness centers. The Company's health spa plans are part of the Company's strategic focus on revenue generation and creating shareholder value.
On January 17, 2018, the Company changed its name to Millennium Blockchain Inc.
On September 28, 2018, the Company changed its name back to THC Therapeutics, Inc.
THC Therapeutics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, shall herein be collectively referred to as the "Company."
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation- The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's most recent Annual Audited Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim period presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent Annual Audited Financial Statements have been omitted.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern- The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
Management evaluated all relevant conditions and events that are reasonably known or reasonably knowable, in the aggregate, as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued and determined that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company's ability to generate revenues and raise capital. The Company has not generated sufficient revenues to provide sufficient cash flows to enable the Company to finance its operations internally. As of January 31, 2024, the Company had $3,511 cash on hand. At January 31, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $39,058,405. For the six months ended January 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $634,460 and net cash used in operations of $45,397. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of filing.
Over the next twelve months management plans to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of cash flow deficits; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue existence.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company's goodwill, impairments and estimations of long-lived assets, revenue recognition on percentage of completion type contracts, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, and the valuations of non-cash capital stock issuances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term instruments with original maturities of six months or less to be cash equivalents. There were $3,511 and $10 in cash and no cash equivalents as of January 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, respectively.

Table of Contents |
Concentration Risk
At times throughout the year, the Company may maintain cash balances in certain bank accounts in excess of FDIC limits. As of January 31, 2024, the cash balance in excess of the FDIC limits was $0. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk in these accounts.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five steps be followed in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identity the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied a performance obligation.
The company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the company from its customers (sales and use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).
Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer and only when no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive reasonably assured payments for products sold and delivered.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items.
As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below as of July 31, 2023:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standard Board's (FASB) Codification Topic 350-10 ("ASC 350-10"), "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other." According to this statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization, but rather an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test. Fair value for goodwill is based on discounted cash flows, market multiples and/or appraised values as appropriate. Under ASC 350-10, the carrying value of assets are calculated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows.

Table of Contents |
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounts Standard Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10, "Property, Plant and Equipment," the carrying value of intangible assets and other long-lived assets is reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. The Company recognizes impairment when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value. During the six months ending January 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $0 and $0, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 740-10, "Income Taxes", which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 "Compensation-Stock Compensation", which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 260-10 "Earnings Per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed exercise of options and warrants to purchase common shares (common stock equivalents) would have an anti-dilutive effect.
Advertising Costs
The Company's policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $436 and $343 during the six months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Description of Business
The Company is focused on operations in the wellness industry. The Company is developing a sanitizing herb dryer, the dHydronator®, with multiple design, function, and usage patents. This innovative, laboratory-proven product is specifically designed for the drying and sanitizing (i.e., reducing the bacterial count by using ultraviolet light) of freshly harvested cannabis, and other herbs, flowers, and tea leaves. The dHydronator® can reduce moisture content of cannabis to 10-15% in only 10-14 hours. Traditional herbal drying times can take up to two weeks.
Wellness Operations
THC Therapeutics is focused on the wellness industry, with plans to develop a patented herb dryer.
The Company is developing a sanitizing herb dryer, the dHydronator®, with multiple design, function, and usage patents. This innovative, laboratory-proven1 product is specifically designed for the drying and sanitizing (i.e., reducing the bacterial count by using ultraviolet light) of freshly harvested cannabis, and other herbs, flowers, and tea leaves. The dHydronator® can reduce moisture content of cannabis to 10-15% in only 10-14 hours. Traditional herbal drying times can take up to two weeks. The dHydronator® can also significantly reduce the bacterial count of the cannabis during the drying process, but it will not eliminate all bacteria from the cannabis or other plant materials.
The Company has a functioning prototype of the dHydronator® similar in design to that shown below, which is now protected by a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (see "Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions" below), and once the Company has sufficient funds available, the Company plans to source parts for serial manufacturing and negotiate and secure serial manufacturing and assembly. The Company also plans to hire sales and marketing staff as funds are available.
1 Tests were conducted in 2016-2017 by independent cannabis-testing labs: first by CannLabs on the first-generation dHydronator® prototype, and later by Digipath Labs on the second-generation prototype. Optimal cannabis moisture content is 8-12%. The initial testing by CannLabs showed that (i) moisture content across five wet cannabis samples was reduced to an average moisture content of 13.81% with a standard deviation of 4.04% after 12 hours of drying, and 8.86% with a standard deviation of 2.25% after 16 hours of drying, and (ii) after autoclaving cannabis flowers to ensure sterility and then spiking multiple samples with 100 CFU of E. Coli and Salmonella bacteria and Aspergillus niger mold, testing for the presence of the bacteria and mold by both quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and traditional plating methods, which testing concluded that the dHydronator® prototype eliminated or reduced the bacteria and mold contamination, but did not quantify the results. The subsequent testing by Digipath Labs on the second-generation prototype covered multiple strains and independent tests to confirm the prior findings. The strains tested were Lucy Diamond, Cotton Candy, Blue Dream, Kings Cut, Pot of Gold and Diablo. The optimal drying time was determined to be 10-14 hours in the first test. The Company's proprietary sanitizing technology brought the failing TAC (total aerobic count) from over 300,000 CFU/g down to 78,000 CFU/g (anything less than 100,000 CFU/g is considered "passing") in the second test. In the third test, after drying 14 hours and 15.5 hours in the dHydronator® and using the Company's proprietary sanitizing technology for a longer period than required, the moisture content had been reduced from 80% (at 0 hours) to 10.89% (at 14 hours) and 8.83% (at 15.5 hours), the THCA% had been reduced from 21.2% (at 0 hours) to 17.26% (at 14 hours) and 18.26% (at 15.5 hours), and the TAC had been reduced from 210,000 CFU/g (at 0 hours) to 1,500 CFU/g (at 14 hours) and 500 CFU/g (at 15.5 hours). In the fourth experiment, after 12 hours and 15.5 hours of drying in the dHydronator® and using the proprietary sanitizing technology for a longer period than required, the moisture content had reduced from 80% to 12.00% (at 12 hours) and 7.44% (at 15.5 hours), the THCA% had been reduced from 21.2% to 20.08% (at 12 hours) and 19.43% (at 15.5 hours), and the TAC had been reduced from 190,000 CFU/g to 51,000 CFU/g (at 12 hours) and 2,300 CFU/g (at 15.5 hours). After 14 hours of drying, the moisture content had been reduced to 8.15%, the THCA% had been reduced to 19.82%, and the TAC had been reduced to 21,000 CFU/g. In the fifth test, prior moisture and THCA% results were tested, but this time using the Company's proprietary sanitizing technology for a much shorter time period, using two samples of a different cannabis strain, and testing the expanded cannabinoid profile data of each sample, and after 12 hours of drying two different samples, moisture content for the two samples decreased from 74% and 74% to 9.17% and 9.90%, respectively, and THCA% increased from 14.45% and 14.94% before drying to 16.81% and 17.2%, respectively, after 12 hours of drying. Test six was a test of the same strain as test five but using a different lot of plant material, and moisture content decreased from 81% to 11.5% after 12 hours of drying, while TCHA% increased from 21.28% to 22.6% after 12 hours of drying. The seventh through ninth tests confirmed prior results.

More specifically, once we have at least $2,000,000 in in available cash flow or funds from other operations and if we receive the patent, we intend to engage in further development efforts as follows: (i) finalizing case design, with an estimated tooling expense of approximately $300,000-$500,000; manufacturing pre-production units for field testing and presentation to potential partners and distributors, with an estimated expense of $250,000; (iii) hiring a subject-matter expert and consultants or employees in the home herb garden and legal cannabis marketplace to manage the development and sales of herb dryer, with an estimated expense of $400,000 for 12 months; (iv) engaging in further detailed laboratory of our herb drying with respect to cannabis plants and home herb garden plants, with an estimated expense of $50,000 to $100,000 for 12 months; (v) establishing a relationship with a market research and/or marketing company to explore creative strategies, advertising concepts, and consumer opinion, explore applications of our intellectual property in the existing wholesale and retail distribution channels for home herb, garden products and legal cannabis markets, and determine the best path for sales, distribution and licensing of our intellectual property, with an estimated expense of $1,000,000 for 12 months.
Competition
There are a number of commercial herb dryers sold by competitors, including Yofumo Technologies, which are already commercially available, and which have significant market share. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively with any of these competitors.
Market Opportunity
The Company's herb dryer, the dHydronator®, safely lowers moisture content and sanitizes without harm to the integrity of the plant. Our test results have been proven to dry cannabis in less than 14 hours verses up to 14 days using traditional drying methods. Test results indicate the removal of many surface germs and bacteria including powder mold, dust mites and spider mites from herbs, plants, the surface of glass or ceramic herbal tea accessories, and any other object that fits safely in the drying chamber. Therefore, we believe that our product will be attractive to the cannabis and home herb and garden product markets.
Marketing Strategy
We plan to attend regional cannabis-related trade shows and offer field testing to legal cannabis growers and suppliers in the United States and Canada initially, and throughout the world once the technology has been adopted in the regional market. We also plan to establish a relationship with a market research and marketing company to explore creative strategies, advertising concepts, consumer opinion, existing distribution and sales channels and potential licensing of our intellectual property, to determine the best path for sales and distribution. We also intend to hire subject matter expert consultants or employees in the legal cannabis and home herb marketplace to manage the development and sales of our products. Once our marketing experts identify an herbal or commercial agriculture niche or venue to enter or solicit, we will market to distributors and retailers via trade shows and direct contact.
Customers
Due to the nature of its business and its focus on development of its patent-pending herb dryer, the Company does not currently have any customers.
Patent, Trademark, License & Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations & Concessions
The Company has acquired the exclusive intellectual property rights to the dHydronator® sanitizing plant dryer with improved convection flow from the Company's CEO and Director, Brandon Romanek. Mr. Romanek's father irrevocably assigned those intellectual property rights to Mr. Romanek in 2016. A trademark application for the mark "dHyrdonator" has been filed (serial no. 86874611), and a patent application was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO"), docket number 5503.101 (application nos. 15/467,722 and 62/312,327), for 20 separate herb dryer design, function, and usage patents. On or about July 20, 2018, the Company's patent counsel received a Notification of Allowance from the USPTO, notifying the Company that the USPTO would be allowing all 20 claims, and on or about November 20, 2018, the USPTO granted the final patent (patent no. 10,132,56), the Company was subsequently notified of the patent grant, and the patent has been recorded with the USPTO as being assigned to the Company.
Governmental Regulations
We do not believe the dHydronator® will be subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or any other government agency (other than pursuant to general laws governing truth in advertising or similar laws under the purview of the Federal Trade Commission). We believe that we are currently in compliance with all laws which govern our operations and have no current liabilities thereunder. Our intent is to maintain strict compliance with all relevant laws, rules and regulations.
Employees
As of January 31, 2024, the Company had 1 employee.

Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the three months ended January 31, 2024, and related management discussion herein.
Our financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States ("GAAP").
Going Concern Qualification
Several conditions and events cast substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $39,058,405 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Gain on change in derivative liability decreased by $2,446,751 during the three months ended January 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, due to change in derivative liabilities caused by fluctuations in the price of our common stock between reporting periods. Interest expense decreased by $396 during the three months ended January 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year due to decreased debt during the quarter.
Net loss
Net income decreased to a net loss of $(571,975) during the three months ended January 31, 2024, from a net income of $1,685,852 in the same period in the prior fiscal year due to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through sales of our herb dryer and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines the term "disclosure controls and procedures" to mean the company's controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company maintains such a simple system of controls and procedures in an effort to ensure that all information which it is required to disclose in the reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the SEC's rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to principal executive and principal financial officers to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Table of Contents |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the objectives of timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports and of ensuring that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended April 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not presently a party to any material litigation, nor to the knowledge of management is any litigation threatened against us, which may materially affect us, other than as set forth herein.
In the spring of 2021, the Company's former CEO, Parker Mitchell, filed suit against the Company for wrongful termination (case no A-21-833007-C filed in the Districk Court Clark City, Nevada). The matter was subsequently settled on or about December 12. 2021 , and the case was dismissed on or about December 12,2021 . On December 12, 2021, the suit was settled for $100,000 which was recorded as a contingent liability as of July 31, 2021.
On or about January 5, 2021, another Company lender, Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. ("Iliad"), sent a demand letter to the Company regarding the Company's alleged default under its promissory note issued to Iliad. The Company retained litigation counsel in Nevada and responded, and Iliad sued the Company in the fall of 2021 in Utah, where Iliad is domiciled (case no. 210000342 filed in the Third Judicial Court of Salt Lake City, Utah). In December of 2021, the Company was improperly served, Iliad subsequently received a default judgment, and the Company then filed a motion to set aside the judgment, which motion was granted by the court on or about May 9, 2022. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action. On January 31, 2024, the Company and Iliad entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release to fully settle all disputes related to the Case and the Arbitration.
