Overview Our business model is to develop or acquire unique medical related products, engage third parties to manufacture such products and then distribute the products through various distribution channels, including third parties. We plan to develop potentially life-saving technologies: the CardioMap® heart monitoring and screening device, the Save A Life choking rescue device, a unique neurosteroid drug compound intended to treat concussions and a unique drug compound to treat rare brain disorders in partnership withPrevacus, Inc. To date, none of our product candidates has received regulatory clearance or approval for commercial sale. We plan to license, improve, and develop our products and identify and select distribution channels. We intend to establish agreements with distributors to get products to market quickly, as well as to undertake and engage in our own direct marketing efforts effort as we move closer to regulatory approvals. We will determine the most effective method of distribution for each unique product that we include in our portfolio. We will engage third-party research and development firms who specialize in the creation of our products to assist us in the development of our own products, and we will apply for trademarks and patents once we have developed proprietary products. 15 Recent FundingMast Hill Fund L.P.

6.8% 8.1% The increases in the weighted average debt outstanding were due to the addition of principal to both the LGH and Tysadco notes in exchange for extending the maturity date of the notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
See Recent Funding above for a discussion of our recent debt and equity financings.
The following table sets forth the primary sources and uses of cash:
Six Months EndedJanuary 31, 2023 2022
Net cash used in operating activities
(8,038 )
(45,220 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 1,159,898 1,204,766
To date, we have financed our operations primarily through debt financing and limited sales of our common stock. Our ability to continue to access capital could be affected adversely by various factors, including general market and other economic conditions, interest rates, the perception of our potential future earnings and cash distributions, any unwillingness on the part of lenders to make loans to us and any deterioration in the financial position of lenders that might make them unable to meet their obligations to us. If these conditions continue and we cannot raise funds through a public or private debt financing, or an equity offering, our ability to grow our business may be negatively affected. In such case, we may need to suspend the creation of new products until market conditions improve. 19 Debt
