3.	Investment in Pala Diagnostics

In August 2021, Dalrada entered a joint venture (“JV”) with Vivera Pharmaceuticals, Inc (“Vivera”) for a 51% ownership and controlling interest to operate a CLIA-certified diagnostics lab focused on SARS-CoV-2 testing. The JV has been treated as a business combination.

The Company determined that Pala is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”); we believe that the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Pala, and accordingly, Dalrada is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The Company has consolidated the activities of the VIE.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, Dalrada contributed equity in the amount of $500,000 for operating capital and Vivera contributed property and equipment at a fair value of $111,185. This amount was recorded to non-controlling interest equity balance in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Pursuant to the JV agreement, Dalrada issued 250,000 shares of common stock to Vivera in October 2021. The fair value of $58,560 was recorded to goodwill as of June 30, 2022. This goodwill balance was written down to $0 as of June 30, 2023.

In December 2021, Dalrada Health filed suit against Vivera and Paul Edalat, Vivera’s Chairman and CEO, for misappropriation of funds on behalf of the joint venture in the amount of $2,104,509, accounted for as an unauthorized distribution. In addition to filing a cross-complaint against Dalrada Health Products, Vivera filed a separate complaint against Dalrada Financial Corporation, Empower Genomics, Dalrada Financial Corporation’s officers, and other unrelated parties. On February 20, 2025, the suit was dismissed through the Orange County Superior Court of California. See Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies for legal proceedings.
