1. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES
Nature
of Operations
Enveric
Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric Biosciences, Inc.” “Enveric” or the “Company”) is a pharmaceutical company developing innovative, evidence-based cannabinoid medicines. The head
office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida. The Company has the following wholly owned subsidiaries: Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay
Pharma”), 1306432 B.C. Ltd. (“HoldCo”), MagicMed Industries, Inc. (“MagicMed”), and Enveric Canada. The
Company has an Amalgamation Agreement (“Amalgamation Agreement”) and tender agreement (“Tender Agreement”) with
Jay Pharma, which were entered into in prior years.
On
May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1306432 B.C. Ltd., a
corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo”),
1306436 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo
(“Purchaser”), and MagicMed Industries Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“MagicMed”),
pursuant to which, among other things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed
in exchange for securities of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation (as defined herein), the amalgamated
corporation (“Amalco”) will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September
16, 2021.
MagicMed
Industries develops and commercializes psychedelic-derived pharmaceutical candidates. MagicMed’s psychedelic derivatives library,
the Psybrary™, is an essential building block from which industry can develop new patented products. The initial focus of the Psybrary™
is on psilocybin and DMT derivatives, and it is then expected to be expanded to other psychedelics.
Akos
Spin-Off
On
May 11, 2022, the Company announced plans to transfer and spin-off its cannabinoid clinical development pipeline assets to Akos Biosciences,
Inc. (formerly known as Acanna Therapeutics, Inc.), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company (hereafter referred to as “Akos”),
which was incorporated on April 13, 2022, by way of dividend to Enveric shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off will
be subject to various conditions, including Akos meeting the qualifications for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and if successful,
would result in two standalone public companies. The new company as a result of the Spin-Off will be referred to as Akos. If the Spin-Off
does not occur, the Company has guaranteed the redeemable non-controlling interest (“RNCI”).
On
May 5, 2022, the Company and Akos entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Akos Purchase Agreement”) with an
accredited investor (the “Akos Investor”), pursuant to which Akos agreed to sell to the Akos Investor up to an aggregate
of 5,000
shares of Akos’ Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Akos Series A Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01
per share at a price of $1,000
per share, and warrants (the “Akos Warrants”) to purchase shares of Akos’ common stock (the “Akos Common
Stock”), par value $0.01
per share, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000
(the “Akos Private Placement”). Pursuant to the Akos Purchase Agreement, Akos has issued 1,000
shares of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock to the Akos Investor in exchange for $1,000,000
on May 5, 2022 (See Note 8).
Reverse
Stock Split
On
July 14, 2022 the Company affected a 1-for-50 reverse stock split. All historical share and per share amounts reflected throughout this
report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
Going
Concern, Liquidity and Other Uncertainties
The
Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $79,207,786 as of December 31, 2022 and further losses
are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company has operating cash outflows of $17,146,723 for the year ended
December 31, 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a loss from operations of $27,415,106. Since inception, being
a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its
operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these
financial statements.
ENVERIC
BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At December 31, 2022, the Company had
cash of $17,723,884 and working capital of $14,435,964. The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient enough to satisfy
its operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company believes that it has adequate
cash on hand to cover anticipated outlays through December 31, 2023. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s
plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity
or debt financings or other sources, which may include collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. Adequate
additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional
capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities.
As
a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the financial statements are issued. The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Inflation
Risks
The
current inflationary trend existing in the North American economic environment is considered by the Company to be reasonably likely to
have a material unfavorable impact on results of continuing operations. Higher rates of price inflation, as compared to recent prior
levels of price inflation have caused a general increase the cost of labor and materials. In addition, there is an increased risk of
the Company experiencing labor shortages as a result of a potential inability to attract and retain human resources due to increased
labor costs resulting from the current inflationary environment.
Recent
Developments
Nasdaq
Notice
On
February 18, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that,
based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 5, 2022,
through February 17, 2022, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq
Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be
provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until August 17, 2022 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain
compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
On
July 29, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that for the
last ten consecutive business days, from July 15 to July 28, 2022, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been
at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
NOTE
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance and in conformity with GAAP and the applicable rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding consolidated financial information. All intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period financial
statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net earnings or cash flows as previously reported.
ENVERIC
BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported.
By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such
estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining
the fair value of transactions involving common stock and the valuation of stock-based compensation, accruals associated with third party
providers supporting research and development efforts, estimated fair values of long lives assets used to record impairment charges related
to intangible assets, acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and goodwill, and allocation of purchase
price in business acquisitions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign
Currency Translation
From
inception through December 31, 2022, the reporting currency of the Company was the United States dollar while the functional currency
of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries was the Canadian dollar. For the reporting periods ended December 31, 2022 and December
31, 2021, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure
from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar.
The
Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiaries into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the
balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized
translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation gain (loss), which is included in the consolidated statements
of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The
Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed
to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations
in the future.
Adjustments
that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other comprehensive
income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as incurred.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000 in the United States and $100,000 in Canada. The Company
has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company had greater than $250,000 and $100,000 at US and Canadian financial institutions, respectively.
Comprehensive
Loss
Comprehensive
loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive loss refers to revenue, expenses,
gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net loss. Other comprehensive
loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments from those subsidiaries not using the U.S. dollar as their functional currency.

Business
Combinations
The
Company accounts for business combinations under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification
(“ASC”) Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) using the acquisition method of accounting,
and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired business are recorded at their fair values at the date of acquisition. For
transactions that are business combinations, the Company evaluates the existence of goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess purchase
price over the fair value of the tangible net assets and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. ASC 805-10 also specifies
criteria that intangible assets acquired in a business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. All acquisition
costs are expensed as incurred. Upon acquisition, the accounts and results of operations are consolidated as of and subsequent to the
acquisition date.
The
estimated fair value of net assets acquired, including the allocation of the fair value to identifiable assets and liabilities, was determined
using established valuation techniques. A fair value measurement is determined as the price the Company would receive to sell an asset
or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the context of purchase
accounting, the determination of fair value often involves significant judgments and estimates by management, including the selection
of valuation methodologies, estimates of future revenues, costs and cash flows, discount rates, and selection of comparable companies.
The estimated fair values reflected in the purchase accounting are subject to management’s judgment.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets consist of the Psybrary™ and Patent Applications, In Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”) and license
agreements. Psybrary™ and Patent Applications intangible assets are valued using the relief from royalty method. The cost of license
agreements is amortized over the economic life of the license. The Company assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment
each year.
IPR&D
intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of a business and are assigned a fair value, using the multi-period
excess earnings method, related to incomplete research projects which, at the time of acquisition, have not reached technological feasibility.
The amounts are capitalized and are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, subject to impairment testing until completion
or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, the Company will make a determination as to the then-useful
life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which the substantial majority of the cash flows are expected to
be generated, and begin amortization. The Company tests its intangible assets for impairment at least annually and whenever events or
circumstances change that indicate impairment may have occurred. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator
of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others and without limitation: a significant decline in the Company’s
expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization; a significant
adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate of the Company’s segments; unanticipated competition; and slower growth
rates. If the fair value determined is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
Goodwill
The
Company tests goodwill for potential impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event or other circumstance indicates that
the Company may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the net assets of the reporting unit. The Company has determined that the
reporting unit is the entire company, due to the integration of all of the Company’s activities. In evaluating goodwill for impairment,
the Company may assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50%) that
the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company bypasses the qualitative assessment, or if the Company
concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then the Company performs
a quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.

Property
& Equipment
Property
and equipment are recorded at cost. Major property additions, replacements, and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs
that do not extend the useful lives of an asset or add new functionality are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are
recorded using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of the Company’s long-lived assets. The estimated
useful lives are typically 3 to 5 years for office furniture and equipment and are depreciated on a straight-line basis.
Warrant
Liability and Investment Options
The
Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants and investment options, to determine if
such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC 815. The
Company accounts for warrants and investment options for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its own stock
as derivative liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company accounts for common stock warrants and investment
options with put options as liabilities under ASC 480. Such warrants and investment options are subject to remeasurement at each consolidated
balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of such common
stock warrants and investment options. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability and investment options related to such common
stock warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.
Modification
of Warrants
A
change in any of the terms or conditions of warrants is accounted for as a modification. For a warrant modification accounted for under
ASC 815, the effect of a modification shall be measured as the difference between the fair value of the modified warrant over the fair
value of the original warrant immediately before its terms are modified, measured based on the fair value of the shares and other pertinent
factors at the modification date. The accounting for incremental fair value of warrants is based on the specific facts and circumstances
related to the modification. When a modification is directly attributable to equity offerings, the incremental change in fair value of
the warrants are accounted for as equity issuance costs.
Derivative
Liability
The
Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as assets or liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value on the grant date and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the
fair value reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The classification of derivative instruments,
including whether such instruments should be recorded as assets or liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting
period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash
settlement or conversion of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.
Offering
Costs
The
Company allocates offering costs to the different components of the capital raise on a pro rata basis. Any offering costs allocated to
common stock are charged directly to additional paid-in capital. Any offering costs allocated to warrant liabilities are charged to general
and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Income
Taxes
The
Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes
is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income.
Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets
and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
ENVERIC
BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that
some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws
that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liabilities. In management’s opinion, adequate
provisions for income taxes have been made. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances
or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Tax
benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The
amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement.
A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that
do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits
was required to be recorded.
The
Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of operating
expenses. There were no amounts accrued for penalties and interest for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company does not
expect its uncertain tax positions to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review
that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.
The
Company has identified its United States and Canadian federal tax return, its state and provincial tax returns in Florida and Ontario,
CA as its “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company is in the process of filing its corporate tax returns for the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021. Net operating losses for these periods will not be available to reduce future taxable income until the returns
are filed.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company follows ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, requiring
such transactions to be accounted for using the fair value method. Awards of shares for property or services are recorded at the more
readily measurable of the estimated fair value of the stock award and the estimated fair value of the service. The Company uses the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of certain stock-based awards under ASC 718. The assumptions used in calculating
the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s reasonable estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application
of management’s judgment. Fair value of restricted stock units or restricted stock awards is determined by the closing price per
share of the Company’s common stock on the date of award grant.
The
estimated fair value is amortized as a charge to earnings on a straight-line basis, for awards or portions of awards that do not require
specified milestones or performance criteria as a vesting condition and also depending on the terms and conditions of the award, and
the nature of the relationship of the recipient of the award to the Company. The Company records the grant date fair value in line with
the period over which it was earned. For employees and consultants, this is typically considered to be the vesting period of the award.
The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
The
estimated fair value of awards that require specified milestones or recipient performance are charged to expense when such milestones
or performance criteria are probable to be met.
Restricted
stock units, restricted stock awards, and stock options are granted at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s
board of directors (the “Board of Directors”). These awards are restricted as to the transfer of ownership and generally
vest over the requisite service periods, typically over a 12 to 48-month period. A significant portion of these awards may include vesting
terms that include, without limitation, defined volume weighted average price levels being achieved by the Company’s Common Stock,
specific performance milestones, employment, or engagement by the Company, with no assurances of achievement of any such vesting conditions,
if applicable.
The
value of RSU’s is equal to the product of the number of units awarded, multiplied by the closing price per share of the Company’s
Common Stock on the date of the award. The terms and conditions of each RSU is defined in the RSU agreement and includes vesting terms
that consist of any or all of the following: immediate vesting, vesting over a defined period of time, vesting based on achievement of
a defined volume weighted average price levels at specified times, vesting based on achievement of specific performance milestones within
a specific time frame, change of control, termination of the employee without cause by the Company, resignation of the employee with
good cause. The value assigned to each RSU is charged to expense based on the vesting terms, as follows: value of RSU’s that vest
immediately are charged to expense on the date awarded, value of RSU’s that vest based upon time, or achievement of stock price
levels over a period of time are charged to expense on a straight line basis over the time frame specified in the RSU and the value of
RSU’s that vest based upon achievement of specific performance milestones are charged to expense during the period that such milestone
is achieved. Vested RSU’s may be converted to shares of Common Stock of an equivalent number upon either the termination of the
recipient’s employment with the Company, or in the event of a change in control. If the recipient is not an employee, such person’s
engagement with the Company must either be terminated prior to such conversion of RSU’s to shares of Common Stock, or in the event
of a change in control. Furthermore, as required by Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, if the recipient is a “specified
employee” (generally, certain officers and highly compensated employees of publicly traded companies), such recipient may only
convert vested RSU’s into shares of Common Stock no earlier than the first day of the seventh month following such recipients termination
of employment with the Company, or the event of change in control.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
value of RSA’s is equal to the product of the number of restricted shares awarded, multiplied by the closing price per share of
the Company’s Common Stock on the date of the award. The terms and conditions of each RSA is defined in the RSA agreement and includes
vesting terms that consist of any or all of the following: immediate vesting, vesting over a defined period of time, or vesting based
on achievement of a defined volume weighted average price levels at specified times. Upon vesting, the recipient may receive restricted
stock which includes a legend prohibiting sale of the shares during a restriction period that is defined in the RSA agreement. Termination
of employment by or engagement with the Company is not required for the recipient to receive restricted shares of Common Stock. The value
assigned to each RSA is charged to expense based on the vesting terms, as follows: value of RSA’s that vest immediately are charged
to expense on the date awarded, value of RSA’s that vest based upon time, or achievement of stock price levels over a period of
time are charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the time frame specified in the RSU.
Net
Loss per Share
Basic
net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding
during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants
(using the treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 excludes
potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully
diluted. In accordance with ASC 260-10-45-13, penny warrants were included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding
for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share.
During
the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company issued 767,500 pre-funded common stock warrants, which were exercised on various dates during
the year ended December 31, 2022. The pre-funded common stock warrants became exercisable on July 26, 2022 based on the terms and conditions
of the agreements. As the pre-funded common stock warrants are exercisable for $0.0001, these shares are considered outstanding common
shares and are included in the computation of basic and diluted Earnings Per Share as the exercise of the pre-funded common stock warrants
is virtually assured. The Company included these pre-funded common stock warrants in basic and diluted earnings per share when all conditions
were met on July 26, 2022.
Potentially
dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share the years ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

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. To increase the comparability of fair value measures, the following hierarchy prioritizes
the inputs to valuation methodologies used to measure fair value:
Level
1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
ENVERIC
BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Level
2 - Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level
3 - Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by
other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.
For
certain financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values as of December
31, 2022 and 2021 because of their short-term nature.
The
following table provides the financial liabilities measured on a recurring basis and reported at fair value on the balance sheets as

Research
and Development
Research
and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses include, among other things, internal
and external costs associated with preclinical development, pre-commercialization manufacturing expenses, and clinical trials. The Company
accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trial or services provided and the invoices
received from its external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost normally relates to the
projected cost to treat a patient in the trials, and this cost is recognized based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial. As
actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals accordingly.

Leases
Operating
lease assets are included within right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liabilities are included in current portion of
right-of-use operating lease obligation and non-current portion of right-of-use operating lease obligation on the consolidated balance
sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company has elected not to present short-term leases as these leases have a lease term of
12 months or less at lease inception and do not contain purchase options or renewal terms that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
All other lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. Because most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate of return, the Company used an incremental borrowing
rate based on the information available at adoption date in determining the present value of lease payments.
A lease qualifies as a finance lease if any of the following criteria are met at the inception of the lease: (i) there is a transfer of
ownership of the leased asset to the Company by the end of the lease term, (ii) the Company holds an option to purchase the leased asset
that it is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for a major part of the remaining economic life of the leased asset,
(iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset, or (v)
the nature of the leased asset is specialized to the point that it is expected to provide the lessor no alternative use at the end of
the lease term. All other leases are recorded as operating leases. Finance lease payments are bifurcated into (i) a portion that is recorded
as interest expense and (ii) a portion that reduces the finance liability associated with the lease. The Company did not have any finance
leases as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Redeemable
Non-controlling Interest
In
connection with the issuance of Akos Series A Preferred Stock, the Akos Purchase Agreement and certificate of designation contain a put
right guaranteed by the Company as defined in Note 8. Applicable accounting guidance requires an equity instrument that is redeemable
for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity if it is redeemable (a) at a fixed or determinable price on a fixed
or determinable date, (b) at the option of the holder, or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of
the issuer. As a result of this feature, the Company recorded the non-controlling interests as redeemable non-controlling interests and
classified them in temporary equity within its consolidated balance sheet initially at its acquisition-date estimated redemption value
or fair value. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust
the carrying amount of the instrument by accreting the embedded derivative at each reporting period over 12 months.
The
Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations provides that upon the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of May 5, 2022, and
only in the event that the Spin-Off has not occurred; or (ii) such time that Akos and the Company have abandoned the Spin-Off or the
Company is no longer pursuing the Spin-Off in good faith, the holders of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right (the
“Put Right”), but not the obligation, to cause Akos to purchase all or a portion of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock for
a purchase price equal to $1,000 per share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of
Designations, plus all the accrued but unpaid dividends per share. Pursuant to the Akos Purchase Agreement, the Company has guaranteed
the payment of the purchase price for the shares purchased under the Put Right.
Segment
Reporting
The
Company determines its reporting units in accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” (“ASC 280”). The
Company evaluates a reporting unit by first identifying its operating segments under ASC 280. The Company then evaluates each operating
segment to determine if it includes one or more components that constitute a business. If there are components within an operating segment
that meet the definition of a business, the Company evaluates those components to determine if they must be aggregated into one or more
reporting units. If applicable, when determining if it is appropriate to aggregate different operating segments, the Company determines
if the segments are economically similar and, if so, the operating segments are aggregated. The Company has multiple operations related
to psychedelics and cannabinoids. Both of these operations exist under one reporting unit: Enveric. The Company has one operating segment
and reporting unit. The Company is organized and operated as one business. Management reviews its business as a single operating segment,
using financial and other information rendered meaningful only by the fact that such information is presented and reviewed in the aggregate.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”) to simplify certain financial instruments. ASU 2020-06 eliminates
the current models that require separation of beneficial conversion and cash conversion features from convertible instruments and simplifies
the derivative scope exception guidance pertaining to equity classification of contracts in an entity’s own equity. The new standard
also introduces additional disclosures for convertible debt and freestanding instruments that are indexed to and settled in an entity’s
own equity. ASU 2020-06 amends the diluted earnings per share guidance, including the requirement to use the if-converted method for all
convertible instruments. ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and should be applied on a full or
modified retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2024.

3. AMALGAMATION WITH MAGICMED INDUSTRIES INC.
On
May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1306432 B.C. Ltd., a
corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo”),
1306436 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo
(“Purchaser”), and MagicMed Industries Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“MagicMed”),
pursuant to which, among other things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed
in exchange for securities of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation (as defined herein), the amalgamated
corporation (“Amalco”) will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September
16, 2021.
At
the effective time of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), holders of outstanding common shares of MagicMed (the “MagicMed
Shares”) received such number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) representing, together with
the Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Converted Options (each as defined herein), approximately 36.6% of
the issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted basis). The MagicMed Shares were initially converted into Amalco Redeemable
Preferred Shares (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), which immediately following the Amalgamation were redeemed for 0.000001
of a Company Share. Following such redemption, the shareholders of MagicMed received additional Company Shares equal to the product of
the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares held by each such shareholder.
Additionally, following the Effective Time (i) each outstanding MagicMed stock option was converted into and became an option to purchase
(the “Converted Options”) the number of Company Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares
subject to such MagicMed stock option, and (ii) each holder of an outstanding MagicMed warrant (including Company Broker Warrants (as
defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), the “Warrants”) received upon exercise of such Warrant that number of Company Shares
which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Amalgamation if, immediately prior to the date of the Amalgamation
(the “Effective Date”), such holder had been the registered holder of the number of MagicMed Shares to which such holder
would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such holder’s Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (the foregoing
collectively, the “Amalgamation”). In aggregate, holders of MagicMed Shares received 199,025 Company Shares representing
approximately 31.7% of the Company Shares following the consummation of the Amalgamation. The maximum number of Company Shares to be
issued by the Company as in respect of the Warrants and Converted Options shall not exceed 148,083 Company Shares.
The
aggregate number of Company Shares that the Company issued in connection with the Amalgamation (collectively, the “Share Consideration”)
was in excess of 20% of the Company’s pre-transaction outstanding Company Shares. Accordingly, the Company sought and received
stockholder approval of the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company appointed, effective as of the Effective Time two individuals selected by MagicMed
to the Company Board of Directors, Dr. Joseph Tucker and Dr. Brad Thompson.
The
Amalgamation Agreement contained representations and warranties, closing deliveries and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction
of this nature. The closing of the Amalgamation was conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the Share Consideration being approved
for listing on Nasdaq, (ii) the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 registering the Share Consideration (the “S-4
Registration Statement”) and (iii) the approval (a) of the MagicMed stockholders of the Amalgamation and (b) of the Company’s
stockholders of each of the Amalgamation and the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation. The closing of the Amalgamation
occurred on September 16, 2021.
MagicMed
Industries develops and commercializes psychedelic-derived pharmaceutical candidates. MagicMed’s psychedelic derivatives library,
the Psybrary™, is an essential building block from which industry can develop new patented products. The initial focus of the Psybrary™
is on psilocybin and DMT derivatives, and it is then expected to be expanded to other psychedelics.
On
September 16, 2021, the Company completed the Acquisition. In exchange for a total purchase price valued at $39,042,282 the Company acquired
37,463,673 shares of Common Stock from MagicMed, which represents 100% of the outstanding and issued shares of Common Stock of MagicMed,
for equity consideration on the date of closing valued at $27,067,310. The Purchaser also agreed that it would issue Company Shares in
lieu of shares of MagicMed Shares for any warrants to purchase MagicMed Shares that were exercised, with the maximum number of Company
Shares issuable pursuant to such warrant exercises being 118,274. The fair value of the warrants on the closing date of the Amalgamation
was $10,724,578. Additionally, the Purchaser agreed that it would issue issued Company Shares in lieu of shares of MagicMed Shares for
any options to purchase MagicMed Shares that were exercised, with the maximum number of Company Shares issuable pursuant to such option
exercises being 19,477. The fair value of the options on the closing date of the Amalgamation was $1,535,790, with $1,250,394 included
in the purchase price and $285,396 to be recognized as expense in the post combination period.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
The
Company performs an annual impairment test at the reporting unit level as of December 31 of each fiscal year. As of December 31, 2022,
the Company qualitatively assessed whether it is more likely than not that the respective fair value of the Company’s reporting
unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2021 and throughout 2022, the Company
experienced a sustained decline in the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock and as a result the Company determined
that as of December 31, 2022 it was more likely than not that the carrying value of these acquired intangibles exceeded their estimated
fair value. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment analysis as of December 31, 2022 using the income approach. This analysis
required significant judgments, including primarily the estimation of future development costs, the probability of success in various
phases of its development programs, potential post launch cash flows and a risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Pursuant to
ASU 2017-04, the Company recorded a goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge as of December 31, 2022 and a goodwill and intangible
asset impairment charge as of December 31, 2021 for the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value. The
following table provides the Company’s goodwill, indefinite and definite lives intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Acquisition
of Diverse Bio License Agreement
On
March 5, 2021, the Company entered into an Exclusive License Agreement (the “DB Agreement”) with Diverse Biotech, Inc. (“Diverse”),
pursuant to which the Company acquired an exclusive, perpetual license to develop five therapeutic candidates (collectively, the “Agents”)
with the goal of alleviating the side effects that cancer patients experience. Under the terms of the DB Agreement, Diverse has granted
the Company an exclusive license to its intellectual property rights covering the Agents and its products. In exchange, the Company has
granted Diverse the right to information relating to the Agents developed for the express purpose of using such information to obtain
patent rights, which right terminates upon the issuance or denial of the patent rights.
Under
the DB Agreement, the Company will maintain sole responsibility and ownership of the development and commercialization of the Agents
and its products. Diverse has agreed not to develop or commercialize any agent or product that would compete with the Agents, or its
products containing the Agents, at any time during or after the term of the DB Agreement. If Diverse intends to license, sell, or transfer
any other molecules linked with cannabinoids not granted to the Company under the terms of the DB Agreement, the Company will have the
first right, but not the obligation, to negotiate an agreement with Diverse for such cannabinoids. The Company agreed to pay Diverse
an up-front investment payment in the amount of $675,000, as well as a running royalty starting with the first commercial sale by the
Company to a third party in an arm’s length transaction.
The
term of the DB Agreement shall continue for as long as the Company intends to develop or commercialize the new drugs, unless earlier
terminated by either Party. The Agreement may be terminated by either party upon ninety (90) days written notice of an uncured material
breach or in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, the Company has the right to terminate the DB Agreement at any time
upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Diverse.

Authorized
Capital
The
holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably
such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds. Upon the liquidation, dissolution,
or winding up of the Company, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets of the Company that are legally available
for distribution. As of December 31, 2022, 100,000,000 shares of common stock were authorized under the Company’s articles of incorporation.
On

of 3,600,000 preferred shares. During the year ended December 31, 2021, holders of an aggregate of 3,275,407 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock converted their shares into 65,509 shares of common stock. Following those conversions, no Series B Preferred stock shares remain
outstanding.
Series
C Preferred Shares
On
May 3, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a dividend of one one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s
Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s Common Stock (the
“Common Stock”) held of record as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 13, 2022 (the “Record Date”). This dividend
was based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The outstanding shares of Series C Preferred
Stock were entitled to vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, as a single class, exclusively
with respect to a proposal giving the Board the authority, as it determines appropriate, to implement a reverse stock split within twelve
months following the approval of such proposal by the Company’s stockholders (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”),
as well as any proposal to adjourn any meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of voting on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal (the
“Adjournment Proposal”).

other proposals, a Reverse Stock Split Proposal and an Adjournment Proposal. All shares of Series C Preferred Stock that were not present
in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting were automatically redeemed by the Company immediately prior to the opening of the polls
at Special Meeting (the “Initial Redemption”). All shares that were not redeemed pursuant to the Initial Redemption were
redeemed automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal at the Special Meeting
(the “Subsequent Redemption” and, together with the Initial Redemption, the “Redemption”). Each share of Series
C Preferred Stock was entitled to receive $0.10 in cash for each 10 whole shares of Series C Preferred Stock immediately prior to the
Redemption. As of June 30, 2022, there were 52,684.548 shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. As of December 31,
2022, both the Initial Redemption and the Subsequent Redemption have occurred. As a result, no shares of Series C Preferred Stock remain
outstanding. As of December 31, 2022, there are 100,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock authorized for future issuances.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
above assumptions are determined by the Company as follows:
| ● | Stock
price – Based on closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. |
| ● | Weighted
average risk-free interest rate — Based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury
obligations with maturities, which correspond to the expected term of the Company’s
stock options. |
| ● | Dividend
yield — The Company has not paid any dividends on common stock since its inception
and does not anticipate paying dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future. |
| ● | Expected
volatility — Based on the historical volatility of comparable companies in a similar
industry. |
| ● | Expected
term — The Company has had no stock options exercised since inception. The expected
option term represents the period that stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding
based on the simplified method provided in Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”)
No. 107, Share-Based Payment, which averages an award’s weighted-average vesting period
and expected term for “plain vanilla” share options. |
The
Company’s stock based compensation expense, recorded within general and administrative expense, related to stock options for the
years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $180,042 and $60,856, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $240,850 in unamortized

On
February 11, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance
Global Partners (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, in a firm commitment
offering, 400,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and accompanying warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 400,000 shares
of its common stock (“February 2022 Warrants”), as well as up to 60,000 additional shares of common stock and/or warrants
to purchase an aggregate of up to 60,000 shares of its common stock that may be purchased by the Underwriter pursuant to a 45-day option
granted to the Underwriter by the Company (the “Offering”). Each share of common stock was sold together with a common warrant
to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $27.50 per share. Such common warrants were immediately exercisable and
will expire five years from the date of issuance. There is not expected to be any trading market for the common warrants issued in the
Offering. The combined public offering price of each share of common stock and accompanying common warrant sold in the Offering was $25.00.
On February 14, 2022, the Underwriter exercised its option to purchase an additional 60,000 warrants.
In
connection with the Registered Direct (“RD”) Offering and the Private Investment in Public Entity (“PIPE”) Offering
entered into on July 22, 2022, the Company entered into Warrant Amendment (the “Warrant Amendments”) with the investors in
both offerings to amend certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 122,000 shares of Common Stock that were previously
issued to the investors, with an exercise price of $27.50 per share (subsequent to the 1-for-50 reverse stock split that occurred on
July 14, 2022) and expiration date of February 15, 2027. Pursuant to the Warrant Amendments, the previously issued warrants were amended,
effective upon the closing of the offerings, so that the amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $7.78 per share and expire
five and one-half years following the closing of the offerings. In
connection with this transaction, the Company determined the fair value of the February 2022 Warrants immediately prior to the Warrant
Amendment and the fair value of the amended warrants immediately after the Warrant Amendment. The incremental change in fair value was
deemed to be $251,357, which was included as equity issuance costs related to the RD and PIPE financing transactions.
The
warrants assumed pursuant to the acquisition of MagicMed contain certain down round features, which were not triggered by the February
2022 and July 2022 public offerings, that would require adjustment to the exercise price upon certain events when the offering price
is less than the stated exercise price.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, warrants exchanged for Common Stock consisted of an aggregate of 4,434 shares of Common Stock being
issued in exchange for an aggregate of 2,188 warrants issued by Ameri and containing put rights that were exercised by the Holder and
an aggregate of 19,464 shares of Common Stock being issued in exchange for an aggregate of 13,176 warrants containing certain terms wherein
management determined it to be beneficial to the Company to exchange Common Shares for these warrants.
The
aggregate of 4,434 Common Shares issued in exchange for the aggregate of 2,188 warrants issued by Ameri and containing put rights were
issued in lieu of cash payments, in accordance with the terms of the put rights contained in the warrants.
The
aggregate of 19,464 shares of common stock issued in exchange for certain outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 13,176 shares
of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $233.00 were issued pursuant to exchange agreements with the holders of such
warrants. The Company believes that these exchanges are beneficial to the Company because the reacquired warrants contained provisions
that required the Company to repurchase the warrants for cash at the holder’s option and/or “full ratchet” anti-dilution
adjustments that may result in a reduction in the exercise price of such warrants and an increase in the number of shares issuable upon
exercise thereof under certain circumstances. The Company has cancelled all of the warrants reacquired in such exchanges and they will
not be reissued. In connection with this exchange, the Company recognized $826,577 in inducement expense related to the increase in fair
value of the new awards over the old awards, which is included in other expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations
and comprehensive loss.

Preferred
Investment Options
In
connection with the Registered Direct Securities Purchase Agreement the Company issued unregistered preferred investment options to purchase
up to 375,000 shares of common stock. Subject to certain
ownership limitations, the RD Preferred Investment Options became immediately exercisable
at an exercise price equal to $7.78 per share of common stock. The RD Preferred Investment Options
are exercisable for five and one-half years from the date of issuance.
In
connection with the PIPE Securities Purchase Agreement the Company issued unregistered preferred investment options to purchase up to
625,000 shares of the common stock. Subject to certain
ownership limitations, PIPE Preferred Investment Options became immediately exercisable
at an exercise price equal to $7.78 per share of common stock. The PIPE Preferred Investment Options
are exercisable for five and one-half years from the date of issuance.
On
July 26, 2022, in connection with the RD Offering and PIPE Offering, the Company issued preferred
investment options (the “Placement Agent Preferred Investment Options”) to an entity to purchase up to 70,000 shares of the
common stock for acting as a placement agent. The Placement Agent Preferred Investment Options have substantially the same terms as the
RD Preferred Investment Options and the PIPE Preferred Investments Options, except the Placement Agent Preferred Investment Options have
an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Placement Agent Preferred Investment Options
are exercisable for five years from the date of the commencement of the RD Offering and PIPE Offering.

8. REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
Spin-Off
and Related Private Placement
In
connection with the planned Spin-Off, on May 5, 2022, Akos and the Company entered into the Akos Purchase Agreement with the Akos Investor,
pursuant to which Akos agreed to sell up to an aggregate of 5,000 shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock, at price of $1,000 per share,
and Akos Warrants to purchase shares of Akos’ common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Akos Common Stock”), for
an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000. The Akos Purchase Agreement is guaranteed by the Company. Pursuant to the Akos Purchase
Agreement, Akos has issued 1,000 shares of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock to the Akos Investor in exchange for $1,000,000 on May 5,
2022. The additional $4,000,000 will be received on or immediately prior to the Spin-Off. The issuance of the Akos Series A Preferred
Stock results in RNCI (see Note 2). Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”) acted as placement agent for the Akos Private
Placement. Pursuant to the Akos Purchase Agreement, Akos has agreed to pay Palladium a fee equal to 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds
raised from the sale of the shares of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock and a non-accountable expense allowance of 1% of the aggregate
gross proceeds raised the sale of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock in the Akos Private Placement. The fee due in connection with the
Akos Private Placement shall be paid to Palladium in the form of convertible preferred stock and warrants on similar terms to the securities
issued in the Akos Private Placement. As of December 31, 2022, there have been no accruals recorded for the fees or warrants since the
closing of the spin-off is not probable. Palladium is also entitled to warrants to purchase Akos Common Stock in an amount up to 8% of
the number of shares of Akos Common Stock underlying the shares issuable upon conversion of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock.
Terms
of Akos Series A Preferred Stock
Under
the Certificate of the Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Akos (the “Akos Series A
Preferred Certificate of Designations”), on or immediately prior to the completion of the spin-off of Akos into an independent,
separately traded public company listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the outstanding Akos Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically
converted into a number of shares of Akos Common Stock equal to 25% of the then issued and outstanding Akos Common Stock, subject to
the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Akos Purchase Agreement). Cumulative dividends on each share of Akos Series A
Preferred Stock accrue at the rate of 5% annually.
The
Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations provides that upon the earlier of (i) the one-year anniversary of May 5, 2022, and
only in the event that the Spin-Off has not occurred; or (ii) such time that Akos and the Company have abandoned the Spin-Off or the
Company is no longer pursuing the Spin-Off in good faith, the holders of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right (the
“Put Right”), but not the obligation, to cause Akos to purchase all or a portion of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock for
a purchase price equal to $1,000 per share, subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of
Designations (the “Stated Value”), plus all the accrued but unpaid dividends per share. In addition, after the one-year anniversary
of May 5, 2022, and only in the event that the Spin-Off has not occurred and Akos is not in material default of any of the transaction
documents, Akos may, at its option, at any time and from time to time, redeem the outstanding shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock,
in whole or in part, for a purchase price equal to the aggregate Stated Value of the shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock being redeemed
and the accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares. Pursuant to the Akos Purchase Agreement, the Company has guaranteed the payment
of the purchase price for the shares purchased under the Put Right.
The
Akos Series A Preferred Certificate of Designations contains limitations that prevent the holder thereof from acquiring shares of Akos
Common Stock upon conversion of the Akos Series A Preferred Stock that would result in the number of shares of Akos Common Stock beneficially
owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of Akos Common Stock outstanding immediately after
giving effect to the conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon notice from the holder to Akos,
the holder may increase or decrease the limit of the amount of ownership of outstanding shares of Akos Common Stock after converting
the holder’s shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock, provided that any change in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not
be effective until 61 days following notice to Akos.

Accounting
for Akos Series A Preferred Stock
Since
the shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock are redeemable at the option of the holder and the redemption is not solely in the control
of the Company, the shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock are accounted for as a redeemable non-controlling interest and classified
within temporary equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The redeemable non-controlling interest was initially measured
at fair value. Dividends on the shares of Akos Series A Preferred Stock are recognized as preferred dividends attributable to redeemable
non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
The
table below presents the reconciliation of changes in redeemable non-controlling interest:

at the rate of 5% annually, or approximately $1,033,000. The Company has guaranteed this redemption on behalf of Akos.
NOTE
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company is periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management
believes that the outcome of such legal proceedings, legal actions and claims will not have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Development
and Clinical Supply Agreement
On
February 22, 2021, the Company entered into a Development and Clinical Supply Agreement (the “PureForm Agreement”) with PureForm

for the Company’s development plans for cancer treatment and supportive care. Under the terms of the PureForm Agreement, PureForm
has granted the Company the exclusive right to purchase API and related product for cancer treatment and supportive care during the term
of the Agreement (contingent upon an initial minimum order of 1 kilogram during the first thirty (30) days from the effective date) and
has agreed to manufacture, package and test the API and related product in accordance with specifications established by the parties.
All inventions that are developed jointly by the parties in the course of performing activities under the PureForm Agreement will be
owned jointly by the parties in accordance with applicable law; however, if the Company funds additional research and development efforts
by PureForm, the parties may enter into a further agreement whereby PureForm would assign any resulting inventions or technical information
to the Company.
The
initial term of the PureForm Agreement is three (3) years commencing on the effective date of the PureForm Agreement, subject to extension
by mutual agreement of the parties. The PureForm Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice of
an uncured material breach or immediately in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. The PureForm Agreement contains, among other provisions,
representation and warranties, indemnification obligations and confidentiality provisions in favor of each party that are customary for
an agreement of this nature.
The
Company has met the minimum purchase requirement of 1 kilogram during the first thirty days of the PureForm Agreement’s effectiveness.

Purchase
agreement with Prof. Zvi Vogel and Dr. Ilana Nathan
On
December 26, 2017, Jay Pharma entered into a purchase agreement with Prof. Zvi Vogel and Dr. Ilana Nathan (the “Vogel-Nathan Purchase
Agreement”), pursuant to which Jay Pharma was assigned ownership rights to certain patents, which were filed and unissued as of
the date of the Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement. The Vogel-Nathan Purchase Agreement includes a commitment to pay a one-time milestone
totaling $200,000 upon the issuance of a utility patent in the United States or by the European Patent Office, as defined in the agreement.
The Company has accrued such amount as of December 31, 2021, as a result of the milestone criteria being achieved. Payment was made during
January 2022. In addition, a milestone payment totaling $300,000 is due upon initiation of a Phase II(b) study. Research activities related
to the relevant patents are still in pre-clinical stage, and accordingly, this milestone has not been achieved. The Vogel-Nathan Purchase
Agreement contains a commitment for payment of royalties equaling 2% of the first $20 million in net sales derived from the commercialization
of products utilizing the relevant patent. As these products are still in the preclinical phase of development, no royalties have been
earned.

License
Agreement
Jay
Pharma, Tikkun Olam LLC (“TO LLC”) and Tikkun Olam Hemp LLC (“TOH”) entered into a license agreement dated on
January 10, 2020, pursuant to which Jay Pharma would acquire certain in-licensed and owned intellectual property rights related to the

net sales of OTC cancer products made via professional channels, along with a minimum net royalty payment starting in January 1, 2022
and progressively increasing up to a cap of $400,000 maximum each year for the first 10 years, then $600,000 maximum each year for the
next 5 years, and an annual maximum cap of $750,000 each year thereafter during the term of the agreement. The licensed intellectual
property rights relate to beauty products and OTC cancer products, and branding rights related thereto. The beauty products include any
topical or transdermal cannabis-containing or cannabis-derived (including hemp-based) skin care or body care beauty products, and the
OTC cancer products means any cancer-related products, in each case excluding those regulated as a drug, medicine, or controlled substance
by the FDA or any other relevant governmental authority, such as the USDA.
On
August 12, 2020, Jay Pharma, TO LLC and TOH entered into the First Amendment to the License Agreement, pursuant to which all references

Other
Consulting and Vendor Agreements

Right-of-use
lease
On
August 1, 2021, MagicMed entered into a lease agreement (the “LSIH Lease”) with the University of Calgary for the use and
occupation of lab and office space at the University of Calgary’s Life Science Innovation Hub building located in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada (the “LSIH Facility”). The Company acquired all rights and obligations contained in the LSIH Lease concurrent with
its amalgamation with MagicMed.
The
Company assesses whether an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. For arrangements considered leases or that contain
a lease that is accounted for separately, the Company determines the classification and initial measurement of the right-of-use asset
and lease liability at the lease commencement date, which is the date that the underlying asset becomes available for use. The Company
has elected to account for non-lease components associated with its leases and lease components as a single lease component.

The
Company recognizes a right-of-use asset, which represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and
a lease liability, which represents the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments arising over the lease term.
The present value of the lease payments is calculated using either the implicit interest rate in the lease or an incremental borrowing
rate.

On
September 16, 2021, the Company acquired MagicMed. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded intangible assets from
IPR&D valued at $35,500,000,
which would be tested for impairment for book purposes, but without a tax basis, creating a deferred tax liability of $9,061,927.
The deferred tax liability decreased to $1,607,122 due to an impairment on intangible asset of $29,048,164 and an impairment of
goodwill of $8,225,862 for the year ended December 31, 2021. The deferred tax liability decreased to $—
due to an impairment on goodwill and intangible assets of $7,453,662
for the year ended December 31, 2022.
In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of
future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The valuation allowance increased by
$4,429,869 and $5,207,872 during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The
Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction.
From a U.S. federal, state and Canadian perspective the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s
statute of limitations. As of March 30, 2023, the Company has not filed tax returns for the fiscal years 2022 and 2021.
Section
382
The
utilization of the Company’s net operating losses may be subject to a substantial limitation in the event of any significant future
changes in its ownership structure under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitation may result
in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before their utilization.
Section
174
Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”)
eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current year and requires taxpayers to amortize US expenses
over five years and foreign expense over fifteen years pursuant to IRC Section 174. The Company has estimated and capitalized gross $2,684,319
of research and development expenditures that will be amortized primarily over five years. This did not have a material impact on the
Company’s tax liability for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes
on the current and future periods.
Inflation
Reduction Act
On August 16, 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction
Act of 2022 (the “Act”) into law. The Act includes a new 15% corporate minimum tax and a 1% excise tax on the value of corporate
stock repurchases, net of new share issuances, after December 31, 2022. The Company does not expect these provisions to have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position; however, the Company will continue to evaluate their impact as further information
becomes available.

Goods Administration (TGA) and is currently in preclinical development targeting the treatment of anxiety disorder. The total cost
of the Avance Clinical contract is approximately 3,000,000
AUD, which translates to approximately $1,500,000 as of the contract date of March 23, 2023.
