As ofDecember 31, 2022 , the Company had an accumulated deficit of$5,466,798 and a working capital deficiency of$603,396 . During the three months endedDecember 31, 2022 , the Company incurred a net loss of$112,242 and used cash in operating activities of$30,879 . As ofDecember 31, 2022 , the Company had cash of$96,720 . These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital in order to fund operations and meet its payment obligations. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company and whether the Company will generate revenues, become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds on favorable terms, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables and to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity on less favorable terms until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity withU.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Corporate History and Overview
We were first incorporated inNevada asSurf A Movie Solutions, Inc. onDecember 18, 2007 to engage in the business of the development sale and marketing of online video sales. We were not successful in our efforts and discontinued this line of business. Since that time and untilAugust 8, 2014 , we were a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). OnAugust 30, 2013 , we changed our name toFrac Water Systems, Inc. and, onOctober 10, 2013 , we decided to engage in the business of providing economically and environmentally sound solutions for the treatment and recycling of wastewater resulting principally from oil and gas exploration and production activities. Due to our research of the business opportunities, onDecember 31, 2013 , we determined not to move forward with this line of business. In earlyMarch 2014 , we decided to enter into the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical level products containing phytocannabinnoids, an abundant and pharmaceutically active component of industrial hemp, for the prevention and alleviation of various conditions and diseases. In connection therewith, onMarch 17, 2014 , we changed our name toCannabis Therapy Corporation and, onMarch 24, 2014 , changed our trading symbol on OTC Markets to "CTCO". OnDecember 23, 2014 , we changed our name toPeak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our trading symbol changed to "PKPH" on February
5, 2015. 12
InMarch 2014 we began operating as a bio-pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company seeking to develop, manufacture, market and sell safe, high quality, medicinal products based on extracts from hemp. Our primary initial focus was on exploitation of the exclusive license we received fromCanna-Pet, LLC , a developer of ingestible health products for pets made from hemp. We had also taken initial steps related to development of over-the-counter, THC-free, hemp-based products for the human market for the prevention and alleviation of symptoms associated with inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. OnJuly 29, 2014 , through our wholly-owned subsidiary,Peak BioPharma Corp. , we entered into a License Agreement (the "License Agreement") withCanna-Pet, LLC , ("Licensor") aWashington limited liability corporation. They own the brand name "Canna-Pet" and certain related intellectual property including, but not limited to, trademarks and copyrights, formulations, recipes, production processes and systems, websites, domain names, customer lists, supplier lists, trade secrets and know-how, and other related intellectual property (collectively, the "Licensed Intellectual Property"). This is used by the Licensor in the conduct of its business related to the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp, which are intended exclusively for consumption by pets. Pursuant to the License Agreement, the Licensor granted to us a perpetual, exclusive, world-wide license to use the Licensed Intellectual Property in conjunction with our business and the production and sale of medical products made from industrial hemp, as well as the right to sublicense the Licensed Intellectual Property to third parties. The License Agreement gave us the right to produce and sell existing products utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property and to develop new products, jointly with Licensor or otherwise, based upon the Licensed Intellectual Property. The License Agreement provided us with an immediate revenue source and access to Licensor's customer base. The License Agreement specified that during the term of the license, all intellectual property rights in and to the Licensed Intellectual Property remain the exclusive property of Licensor. In consideration of the grant of the license, we agreed to pay Licensor license fees in the form of royalty payments calculated based on gross proceeds received by us from sales of products manufactured, marketed or sold by us utilizing the Licensed Intellectual Property or any subsequently developed intellectual property which is jointly owned by us and Licensor. We began selling Canna-Pet products inOctober 2014 .
Based upon recent regulatory activity related to imposition of restrictions and limitations on the sale of hemp-based health products for pets, we elected to terminate our license agreement with the Licensor, effective as ofOctober 1, 2015 , and to cease all operations relating to sale of hemp-based products for pets. OnOctober 12, 2015 , we entered into an agreement for the termination ("Termination Agreement") of the License Agreement, effectively selling the discontinued operations. Furthermore, based on advice from theFood and Drug Administration , as well as our regulatory counsel, we decided to revise our strategy and discontinue all efforts to develop and market hemp-based health products. We currently are pursuing to acquire or merge with an entity with significant operations in order to create a viable business model and value for our shareholders. SinceOctober 2015 we have been a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act). All of our business operations are carried out through our wholly owned subsidiary,Peak BioPharma Corp. , aColorado corporation. Throughout this Report, unless otherwise noted or required by the context, references to "the Company," "us," "we," "our," and similar terms refer toPeak Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary,Peak BioPharma Corp. We currently have authorized 325,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 300,000,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of "blank check" Preferred Stock. OnAugust 15, 2012 , our board of directors and stockholders owning a majority of our outstanding common shares, authorized a 50 for 1 forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. The forward split became effective onSeptember 27, 2012 . Due to the forward split, each outstanding share was split into 50 shares. OnMarch 11, 2014 , our board of directors authorized a 1.5 for 1 forward stock split of our common stock in the form of a dividend. In connection therewith, our shareholders of record as of the close of business onMarch 28, 2014 , received an additional 0.5 share of our common stock for each share of our issued and outstanding common stock held by them on such date. The forward stock split became effective onApril 1, 2014 . 13 Results of Operations

We may need to evaluate raising additional capital through the sale of equity securities, through an offering of debt securities or through borrowing from individuals. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Cash Requirements As of the date of this filing, we do not have sufficient cash on hand to cover our operating expenses through the next fiscal year. As ofDecember 31, 2022 , we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately$97,000 . Our liquidity needs have been satisfied primarily from the issuance of notes payable. The notes payable are unsecured, matured onSeptember 30, 2021 , have not been extended, and are currently in default. There can be no assurance, however, that additional financing will be available or, if it is available, that we will be able to structure such financing on terms acceptable to us and that it will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements until we can reach a level of profitable operations and positive cash flows. Even if we are able to raise the funds required, it is possible that we could incur unexpected costs and expenses or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force us to seek additional financing. If additional financing is not available or is not available on acceptable terms, we will have to curtail our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 that is material to stockholders. Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our business, revenues or operating results during the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our unaudited condensed financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance withUnited States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of unaudited condensed financial statements in conformity withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our unaudited condensed financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our unaudited condensed financial statements, along with the related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with theSecurities & Exchange Commission . In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management. New accounting standards
