9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant
to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with
the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the Company’s principal
executive officer and interim principal accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation,
the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange
Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance
of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our Board and management; and provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could
have a material effect on our financial statements.
59
Any
system of internal control, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives
of the system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all internal control systems, no system of internal control over financial
reporting can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Our
management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management
concluded that Elevai has limited accounting personnel and other resources with which to address its internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with requirements applicable to public companies. Historically, Elevai had not retained a sufficient number of
professionals with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, training and experience to appropriately analyze, record and disclose
accounting matters under U.S. GAAP.
Material
Weakness
Our
management’s conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective was due to the identification of a material
weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the preparation of our year-end Financial Statements. A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is
a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. Our management identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting:
● We
have insufficiently designed and operating controls surrounding the accounting policies and controls, including standardized reconciliation
schedules to ensure the company’s books and records are maintained in accordance with GAAP.
Notwithstanding
the identified material weakness, management believes that the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K present fairly,
in all material respects, our consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations, and consolidated cash flows as of
and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Changes
in Internal Controls over financial reporting
No
change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item
9B. Other Information.
During
the year ended December 31, 2024, no director or officer adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule
10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
The
Company has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities
by directors, officers and employees, or the registrant itself, that have been designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws,
rules and regulations, and Nasdaq’s listing standards.

Term
of Office
Our
directors are appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed
from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the
board.
Board
Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
Our
Board has responsibility for the oversight of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly
discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The
risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board
to understand our risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk,
including operations, finance, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, strategic and reputational risk.
Director
Independence
Our
Board is composed of a majority of “independent
directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make
this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer
or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere
with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a
director cannot be considered independent if:
● the
director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;
● the
director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve
(12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including,
among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
● the
director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which
the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of
the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);
● the
director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three
(3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
● the
director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past
three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
Under
such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based
on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Jeffrey
Parry , George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley are
independent directors of the Company.
63
Board
Committees
We
have established three committees under the board of directors: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee.
We have adopted a charter for each of the three committees. Copies of our committee charters are posted on our corporate investor relations
website.
Each
committee’s members and functions are described below.
Audit
Committee . Our Audit Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Ms. Daley is the chairman of our audit
committee. We have determined that these directors satisfy the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Daley qualifies as an audit committee financial
expert and has the accounting or financial management expertise as required under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K. The
audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.
The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:
● appointing
the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;
● reviewing
with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;
● discussing
the annual audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors;
● reviewing
the adequacy and effectiveness of our accounting and internal control policies and procedures and any steps taken to monitor and control
major financial risk exposures;
● reviewing
and approving all proposed related party transactions;
● monitoring
management’s communication and implementation of the Company’s anti-fraud policy;
● reviewing
the Company’s cybersecurity mitigation measures and practices periodically;
● meeting
separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and
● monitoring
compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure
proper compliance.
Compensation
Committee . Our Compensation Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Mr. Kovalyov is the chairman
of our compensation committee. The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including
all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee
meeting during which his compensation is deliberated. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:
● reviewing
and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;
● reviewing
and recommending to the shareholders for determination with respect to the compensation of our directors;
● reviewing
periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and
● selecting
compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s
independence from management.
Nomination
Committee . Our Nomination Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Mr. Parry is the chairman of our
nomination committee. The nomination committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors
and in determining the composition of the board and its committees. The nomination committee is responsible for, among other things:
● selecting
and recommending to the board nominees for election by the shareholders or appointment by the board;
● reviewing
annually with the board the current composition of the board with regards to characteristics such as independence, knowledge, skills,
experience and diversity;
● making
recommendations on the frequency and structure of board meetings and monitoring the functioning of the committees of the board; and
● advising
the board periodically with regards to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as our compliance
with applicable laws and regulations, and making recommendations to the board on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial
action to be taken.
64
Family
Relationships
There
are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.
Certain
Legal Proceedings
To
our knowledge, no director, independent director, or executive officer of the Company has been a party in any legal proceeding material
to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during the past ten years.
Code
of Ethics
The
Company adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to its directors, officers, and employees. This includes our principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The full text of
our Code of Ethics is posted on our website.
Insider
Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an insider trading policy
that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other transactions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees. A copy of our insider
trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, with regard to
the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is the Company’s policy to comply with the federal securities laws and the
applicable exchange listing requirements.
Compensation
Recovery Policy
Under
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid
incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments from our executive officers. The SEC also recently adopted rules which direct
national stock exchanges to require listed companies to implement policies intended to recoup bonuses paid to executives if the company
is found to have misstated its financial results.
In
2023, we adopted an executive compensation recovery policy or “Clawback Policy” in compliance with Nasdaq rules. Under our
Clawback Policy, if we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with the financial reporting requirements
under any United States securities laws, we will be entitled to recover (and will seek to recover), from our executive officers, any
excess incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers during the three-year period prior to the date on which we are
required to prepare the restatement. This policy applies to both equity-based and cash compensation awards. The “excess compensation”
is the difference between the actual amount that was paid and the amount that would have been paid if the financial statements were prepared
properly in the first instance.
Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To
our knowledge, none of our current directors or executive officers has, during the past 10 years:
● been
convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
● had
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association
of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two (2) years prior to
that time;
65
● been
subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or
federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his or her involvement in
any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated
with persons engaged in any such activity;
● been
found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated
a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
● been
the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently
reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation
of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance
companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty
or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire
fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
● been
the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization
(as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange
Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated
with a member.

Employment
Arrangements with Named Executive Officers
Graydon
Bensler
Mr.
Bensler serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which positions he accepted the Board’s appointment
for as of the close of business on June 21, 2024. On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting
Agreement for Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer (the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement”) with GB Capital Ltd, a British
Colombia, Canada corporation (“GB Capital”), an entity controlled by Mr. Bensler. The Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement
amended and restated the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement between the Company and GB Capital for Non-Employee
Chief Executive Officer dated June 1, 2020 (the “Original Bensler Consulting Agreement”). The Original Bensler Consulting
Agreement was amended and restated again on June 21, 2024 pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee
Chief Executive Officer between the Company and GB Capital. Under the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, GB Capital agreed
to designate Mr. Graydon Bensler, Director of GB Capital, to perform the Services (as defined in the Second Amended Bensler Consulting
Agreement).
67
Pursuant
to the terms of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, as consideration for Mr. Bensler’s services as non-employee Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, the Company would pay GB Capital a consultant fee of $250,000 per annum and certain bonuses. Upon execution
of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to GB Capital (such payments, the Bensler
Sign-on Bonuses”): (a) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (1) $100,000 of such bonus to be paid to GB Capital in cash and (2) $75,000
of such bonus to be remitted to GB Capital in Series B Preferred Stock, with the cash equivalent of such shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and GB Capital, and provided such issuance of Series B Preferred Stock was
approved by the Company’s shareholders. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award GB Capital a bonus at the end of
the applicable fiscal year in the amounts it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “Bensler Annual Bonus”),
provided that GB Capital meets the Board’s performance objectives for GB Capital and GB Capital is engaged by the Company for such
fiscal year in full. The target of the Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Bensler Annual Consultant Fee. For the avoidance of doubt,
the first fiscal year for which the Company will consider whether GB Capital qualifies for the Bensler Annual Bonus is the fiscal year
in which the Effective Date falls. Pursuant to the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement, the Company shall also pay GB Capital
in the first fiscal quarter of 2026 a bonus in the amount of $60,000 if the Company has a positive adjusted Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) in 2025. Subject to the terms of the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement,
GB Capital is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Bensler Milestone Bonuses”). Such
Bensler Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of the following events, at which time the Company shall remit the applicable
Milestone Bonuses to GB Capital as follows:
(A)
The Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 for each Company acquisition consummated, provided the target company of such acquisition has
$2,000,000 in annual revenue or more upon consummation of such acquisition.
(B)
The Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net
proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies GB Capital for such payment, the
“GB Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “GB Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt,
GB Capital is entitled only to a one-time payment of the GB Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not
make further payments as an Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any
equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of
$3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such
fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company.
(C)
If and when the Company achieves each of the targeted EBITDA amounts in one fiscal quarter, as set forth in this Section 1(e)(iii) (each
of such amounts, “EBITDA Milestone”), the Company shall pay GB Capital a fee equal to 25% of the applicable EBITDA Milestone
(such fee, the “EBITDA Milestone Bonus”: (A) $50,000; (B) $150,000; (C) $250,000; (D) $350,000. For the avoidance of doubt,
GB Capital may only receive a one-time payment of the EBITDA Milestone Bonus in each fiscal quarter, upon the Company’s achievement
of the applicable EBITDA Milestone, and the Company will not make further payments to GB Capital as the EBITDA Milestone Bonus even upon
achievement of an EBITDA Milestone in the same fiscal quarter which value exceeds the value of the first EBITDA Milestone GB Capital
has achieved in such fiscal quarter.
(D)
The Company shall pay GB Capital $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined in the Second Amended Bensler
Consulting Agreement) of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least 5 consecutive
Trading Days (as defined in the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement).
68
Additionally,
GB Capital may elect to accrue the Bensler Milestone Bonuses and convert the cash amount of the Bensler Milestone Bonus into shares of
the Company’s Common Stock or preferred stock. In such event, the conversion ratio of the Bensler Milestone Bonus shall be determined
by mutual agreement between the Company and GB Capital. The Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement is filed herein as Exhibit 10.19.
On
October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment to the Second Amended Bensler Consulting Agreement which stipulated that the
Company’s issuances of Series B Preferred Stock to GB Capital as the Bensler Sign-on Bonuses, were subject to shareholder approval.

Director
Compensation
We
intend to and have agreed to compensate our independent directors for their service as directors through a mix of cash and stock options.
In addition to in-person attendance bonuses, we intend to reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with attending board of director and committee meetings.
On

grants were directly in relation to the appointment of Mr. Parry, Ms. Daley and Ms. Muilenburg as our independent directors. The options
maintain a contractual life of 10 years and an exercise price of $5.00 per share of Common Stock. All options vest at a rate of 25% on
the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining 75% vest evenly over 36 months thereafter.
Equity
Incentive Awards
The
Company has historically granted stock options to its employees, including its executive officers, under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan
where our Board or any of its committees can grant issuances of incentives stock options, nonstatutory stock options, and restricted
stock to our employees, advisors and directors. The exercise price of incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options will be
no less than 100% of the fair value per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. If an individual owns Common
Stock representing more than 10% of the voting shares and the grant is an incentive stock option, the price of each share will be at
least 110% of the fair value on the date of grant.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
allocated and made available for issuance pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan may not exceed 8,671 shares of Common Stock.
As of the date of this Annual Report, options to purchase 4,925 shares of Common Stock under the Plan were outstanding, and 3,225 shares
were available for future grant. Each option granted under the Plan will carry a term of no more than 10 years from the date of grant
and the Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated by the Board. The term and vesting periods for options granted under the Plan
are determined by the Board. The summary does not contain a complete description of all provisions of the 2020 Plan and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the 2020 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to our offering statement of which this Annual
Report forms a part.

Policies
and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards
Our
policies and practices regarding the granting of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities
laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and
terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible employees.
The
timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement
of pre-established performance targets, market conditions and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule
for the granting of equity awards; instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic
objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages.
In
determining the timing and terms of an equity award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information
to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s
procedures to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight
by legal counsel and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.
The
Company is committed to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that
is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive
compensation. The Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards
of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table provides information with
respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of March 26, 2025 by:

person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting
power or investment power with respect to such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person
has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security within 60 days of March 26, 2025. Except as indicated by the footnotes
below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and

13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
Our
audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent
we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related
party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an
unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.
These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents
a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
The
following is a summary of transactions entered since January 1, 2022 to which we have been a party in which the amount involved exceeded
or will exceed $70,915, which represents 1% of the average of our total assets amounts as of December 31, 2024 and 2023), and in which
any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of
the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other
compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described under “ Executive and Director Compensation .”
We also describe below certain other transactions with our directors, executive officers and stockholders.
The
Company paid consulting fees of $391,333, $110,000, and $95,078 to GB Capital Ltd., a company controlled by Graydon Bensler, Chief Financial
Officer and Director in 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Pursuant
to an advisory board agreement between us and Jeffery Parry, (an independent director to the Company as of June 1, 2023) dated August
12, 2021, on August 16, 2021, the Company granted Mr. Parry equity compensation in the form of non-statutory stock options to purchase
208 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (41,667 pre 200:1 share consolidation). Under an amended advisory board agreement between
us and Jeffery Parry dated September 30, 2022 additional nonstatutory stock options to purchase 80 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock (16,000 pre 200:1 share consolidation) were granted to Mr. Parry. The stock options held a contractual life of ten years and exercise
price of $120 ($0.60 pre 200:1 share consolidation) per Common Stock. These stock options were valued at $10,630 using the Black-Scholes
Option Pricing Model. The options vest 25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% vest evenly over 36 months
thereafter. Through unanimous written consent, the Board of the Company amended the vesting schedule for those stock options to accelerate
the vesting of such stock options so that those stock options fully vested as of December 3, 2022. On December 16, 2022, Mr. Parry exercised
all 41,667 (pre 200:1 stock consolidation) stock options for a total exercise price of $25,000.20. On June 1, 2023, we terminated the
advisory board agreement between us and Jeffery Parry.
As
amended and agreed to on May 1, 2023, and as effective on January 4, 2022, we entered into a consulting agreement (the “Lichti
Consulting Agreement”) with NorthStrive Companies Inc., a California Corporation (“NorthStrive”) owned and managed
by Braeden Lichti. Pursuant to the Lichti Consulting Agreement, NorthStrive is to assist us in a variety of business matters, including
assistance in our overall investor outreach and communications strategy, and advising us on becoming a “public” company.
As of May 31, 2023, the Company had $192,705 (2022 - $120,000, 2021 - $23,520) due to NorthStrive, of which $22,705 (2021 - $23,520)
is unsecured, non-interest bearing and are due on demand. $120,000 was due as of December 31, 2022, and the remaining $50,000 was due
as of May 31, 2022. The aforementioned fees are due in contemplation for NorthStrive’s advisement under the CA, whereby starting
on January 4, 2022, we agreed to compensate NorthStrive $10,000 per month (the “Compensation”). We retained the option, but
not the obligation to issue the amount of Compensation due NorthStrive in shares of our Common Stock equal to our series A preferred
stock price at $1.34138 per share (pre 200:1 stock consolidation) equal to the value of the Compensation due to NorthStrive for services
provided through and up to March 31, 2023 and $3.00 per share (pre 200:1 stock consolidation) equal to the value of the Compensation
due to NorthStrive for services provided after March 31, 2023 or via cash payment equal to the amount of Compensation outstanding however,
that Compensation due NorthStrive shall accrue interest-free and payment of that Compensation has been deferred until the earlier of
either (a) our raising an aggregate of at least US$2,000,000 of equity and/or debt investment from and after October 1, 2022, (b) our
becoming listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, or (c) a determination by our Board that Company has sufficient
cash flows to support payment of the Compensation due to NorthStrive at the time of that determination. For the fiscal year ended December
31, 2022, we did not make payments to Northstrive under the Lichti Consulting Agreement. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023,
we paid Northstrive $230,000 under the Lichti Consulting Agreement. On June 21, 2024, we entered into the Amended and Restated Consulting
Agreement with Northstrive (the “First Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Lichti would serve as
non-executive Chairman of the Company. As consideration for his services as non-executive Chairman, the Company agreed to pay Northstrive
$16,000 per month. The First Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement is filed herein as Exhibit 10.13.
74
On
October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Executive Chairman (the “Second
Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement”) with Northstrive. The Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement provided that, as consideration
for Mr. Lichti’s provision of his services as non-executive Chairman, as set forth more fully in such agreement, the Company would
compensate Northstrive as such: (i) an annual consultant fee of $300,000 per annum (the “Lichti Annual Consultant Fee”),
1/12 of which Lichti Annual Consultant Fee will be paid to Northstrive once per calendar month (“Northstrive Payment Cycle”),
provided that Northstrive performs the Services required to be performed in each Northstrive Payment Cycle. The Company agreed that upon
execution of the Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to Northstrive (such payments,
the “Northstrive Sign-on Bonuses”): (a) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (1) $100,000 of such bonus to be paid to Northstrive
in cash and (2) $75,000 of such bonus to be remitted to Northstrive in Series B Preferred Stock, with the cash equivalent of such shares
of Series B Preferred Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and Northstrive; and (b) 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred
Stock. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award Northstrive a bonus at the end of the applicable fiscal year in the amounts
it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “Lichti Annual Bonus”), provided that Northstrive meets the
Board’s performance objectives for Northstrive and Northstrive is engaged by the Company for such fiscal year in full. The target
of the Lichti Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Lichti Annual Consultant Fee.
Subject
to the terms of the Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement, Northstrive is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments
(collectively, the “Northstrive Milestone Bonuses”). Such Northstrive Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of
the following events, at which time the Company shall remit the applicable Northstrive Milestone Bonuses to Northstrive as follows:
(A)
The Company shall pay Northstrive $150,000 for each Company acquisition consummated, provided that the target company of such acquisition
has $2,000,000 in annual revenue or more upon consummation of the acquisition.
(B)
The Company shall pay Northstrive $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity- linked financing of the Company which results in net
proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies Northstrive for such payment,
the “Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus”). For
the avoidance of doubt, Northstrive is entitled only to a one-time payment of the Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal
quarter and the Company will not make further payments as a Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the
following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing
in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent
to the Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the
Company.
(C)
The Company shall pay Northstrive $75,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined in the Second Amended Lichti
Consulting Agreement) of $10,000,000, $20,000,000, $30,000,000, and $40,000,000 (each of such payments, “Northstrive Valuation
Payment”), provided that each of such market valuations continue for each at least five (5) consecutive Trading Days, and provided
further that the Company may only recover any erroneously awarded amounts in Northstrive Valuation Payments for one (1) year following
the date of such erroneous award.
(D)
The Company shall pay Northstrive $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided
that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least two (2) consecutive Trading Days.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary stated in the Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement, Northstrive may elect to accrue the Northstrive Milestone
Bonuses and convert the cash amount of the Northstrive Milestone Bonus into shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock.
In such event, the conversion ratio of the Northstrive Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and
Northstrive. The Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement is filed herein as Exhibit 10.20.
On
October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Amendment to the Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement, which stipulated that the
Company’s issuances of Series B Preferred Stock to Northstrive as the Northstrive Sign-on Bonuses, were subject to shareholder
approval. The Amendment to the Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement is filed herein as Exhibit 10.22. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, we paid Northstrive $188,500 under the Second Amended Lichti Consulting Agreement.
75
On
May 1, 2023, as effective on February 1, 2023, we entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Braeden
Litchi which terminates after twenty-two months to strategically assist us in our maintenance of board governance, director recruitment,
and direction for our board of directors strategy sessions. The Advisory Agreement was entered into under contemplation of Mr. Litchi’s
resignation from our Board effective February 1, 2023, and our desire to maintain Mr. Litchi’s compensation as a valuable advisor
to us. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we agreed with Mr. Litchi that in exchange for services under the Advisory Agreement, his
options granted on February 9, 2021 to purchase 1,000 shares of our Common Stock (200,000 pre 200:1 share consolidation) under our 2020
Equity Incentive Plan shall continue to vest pursuant to the aforementioned terms of the Advisory Agreement. On June 21, 2024, we terminated
the Advisory Agreement, which was a condition to Mr. Lichti’s appointment to the Board and as non-executive Chairman of the Board
on the same date.
Prior
to our reorganization, BWL Investments Ltd., a British Columbia Canadian Corporation (“BWL”) also owned and managed by Braeden
Lichti, owned approximately 29.4% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 100% of the equity interests in Reactive Labs.
On June 4, 2021, we issued 100 shares of Common Stock (pre 200:1 stock consolidation) to BWL in in exchange for substantially all of
the assets and liabilities of Reactive Labs.
Braeden
Lichti is one of our co-founders and our current Chairman and director. He is the current chief executive officer of NorthStrive and
BWL, as described herein and may be deemed a “promoter” as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act though we elect to refer
to him as a “founder” or “organizer” as permitted under Rule 405. There are no other promoters of the Company.
In
May, and December of 2022, we granted nonstatutory stock options to purchase1,250 ( 250,000 pre 200:1 share consolidation) shares of
the Company’s Common Stock to Brenda Buechler, our former Chief Marketing Officer, and Christoph Kraneiss, our former Chief Commercial
Officer. The options maintain a contractual life of ten years and weighted average exercise price of $244 ($1.22 pre 200:1 share consolidation)
per share of Common Stock. These stock options were valued at $264,906 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The options vest
25% on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% vest evenly over 36 months thereafter. Details of the fair value
granted to each individual and the related expense recorded for the year ended December 31, 2022, are as follows:

instead granted nonstatutory stock options to purchase 1,200 (240,000 pre 200:1 share consolidation) shares of the Company’s Common
Stock to our then independent director nominees and related parties Jeffery Parry, Crystal Muilenburg and Julianna Daley under our 2021
Equity Incentive Plan. The equity compensation grants were directly in relation to the appointment of Mr. Parry, Ms. Daley and Ms. Muilenburg
as our independent directors. The options maintain a contractual life of ten years and an exercise price of $1,000 ($5.00 pre 200:1 share
consolidation) per share of Common Stock. All options vest at a rate of 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remaining
75% vest evenly over 36 months thereafter.
Other
Agreements with Our Stockholders
In
connection with our Series A convertible preferred stock financing, we entered into an investors’ rights, and voting agreements
containing registration rights, information rights, voting rights among other things, with certain holders of our preferred stock. Similarly,
in connection with our Common Stock financing, we entered into a subordinate investors’ rights agreement containing registration
rights and information rights with certain holders of our Common Stock. Each of those stockholder agreements terminated upon the closing
of our initial public offering in 2023 whereby such stockholders are no longer entitled to the rights to them afforded therein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
To the Audit Committee and Stockholders of
PMGC Holdings Inc.
Opinion on The Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of PMGC Holdings, Inc (formerly Elevai Labs, Inc) and subsidiaries (the "Company”) as of December 31, 2024, and the
related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, changes in Stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for
the year ended, December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2024, and the results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024, in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements the Company has suffered
recurring losses from operations and has cash flows used in operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to
assess the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Elevai Labs, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Elevai Labs, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “the Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and
the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the two
year period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023
and 2022, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the two year period ended December 31, 2023
and 2022 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 the financial statements, the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has stockholders’ deficit that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our

For
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed
in United States dollars)
1. Organization
and nature of operations
PMGC
Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.) (“PMGC”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 9, 2020 .
During 2024, PMGC completed a reorganization that included a name change and redomiciling from Delaware to Nevada. PMGC and its 100 %
owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research Inc. (formerly Elevai Research Inc) (“PMGC Research”), PMGC Impasse Corp (formerly Elevai
Skincare Inc.), Northstrive Biosciences Inc. (formerly Elevai Biosciences, Inc), and PMGC Capital LLC, are collectively referred to in
these consolidated financial statements as “the Company.”
On
April 29, 2024, PMGC Impasse Corp (“Skincare”) and Northstrive Biosciences Inc. (“BioSciences”) were incorporated
under the laws of the state of Delaware. PMGC is the sole shareholder of Skincare and BioSciences. The purpose of Skincare is to operate
the Company’s skincare business, while the purpose of BioSciences is to hold and develop the Company’s intellectual property.
Effective May 1, 2024, PMGC transferred its operating assets and liabilities relating to its skincare business to Skincare in exchange
for common stock of Skincare. On November 13, 2024, PMGC Capital LLC (“PMGC Capital”) was incorporated under the laws of
the state of Nevada, PMGC is the sole shareholder of PMGC Capital.
On
November 27, 2024, the Company completed a reverse stock split on a ratio of two hundred old common shares for every one new post reverse
split common share. In addition, on March 10, 2025, the Company completed a second reverse stock split on a ratio of 7 common shares
for every one new post second reverse split common share. All current and comparative references to the number of common shares, warrants,
options, weighted average number of common shares, and loss per share have been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to these reverse
stock splits. On a combined basis, this reflects retrospectively a reverse stock split of 1-for-1,400.
On
December 31, 2024, PMGC and Skincare, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with an unrelated
third party, pursuant to which it was agreed to sell the skincare business. The sale of the skincare business closed on January 16, 2025.
In accordance with ASC 205-20 “ Discontinued Operations ”, the assets and liabilities and the results of operations
of the skincare business have been presented in these consolidated financial statements as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued
operations. The Company also retrospectively adjusted the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, to reflect assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations (Note 4).

Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed

Prior
to entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company’s principal business was operating a skincare development company engaged
in the design, manufacture, and marketing of skincare products in the skincare industry. With the sale of the skincare business, the
Company changed its principal business. PMGC is a diversified holding company that manages and grows its portfolio through strategic
acquisitions, investments, and development across various industries. PMGC currently manages and operates a diverse portfolio of three
wholly owned subsidiaries:

●
PMGC Capital – is a multi-strategy investment firm focused on direct investments, strategic lending, and acquiring undervalued companies and assets across diverse markets. Our mission is to identify and seize high-potential opportunities, delivering sustainable growth and maximizing returns on capital.
2. Going
Concern
These
audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize
its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent
upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue
operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the
Company had a net working capital of $ 4,251,867 and $ 3,622,091 , respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $ 13,269,627 and $ 7,023,890 ,
respectively. Furthermore, for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 6,245,737 and $ 4,301,517 ,
respectively and used $ 5,486,980 and $ 4,556,811 , respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These audited consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The
assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information
about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company is
aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern.
Management’s
plans that alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include the sale of the loss-making
skincare business and raising additional equity financing. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, and
expects to do so in the future, there are no guarantees that it will be able to raise funds as anticipated.

3. Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis
of Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and
are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.
This
summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial
statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible
for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the account of PMGC, and its 100 % owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research, Skincare, BioSciences
and PMGB Capital. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates
and assumptions related to revenue recognition, the collectability of receivables, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative liabilities
and stock options, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company
bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable
under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities
and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company
may differ materially and adversely from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions
are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of PMGC Research is the Canadian dollar.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet
date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities, and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are
translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign
currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
The
accounts of PMGC Research are translated to U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated
into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the
period. Related exchange gains and losses are included in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss).

Reportable
Segments and Geographic Areas
The Company’s continuing operations
consists of one reportable segment. The Chief Executive Officer has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The
Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other. The CODM manages business
activities using consolidated information for the Company as a whole. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on analysis
of financial products provided as a single global business. As a result, no disaggregated segment information is presented.
The
majority of the Company’s continuing operations are conducted from and its assets are located in the United States. PMGC Research,
the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, is located in Canada and provide limited operational support and research. The following is

Discontinued
Operations, and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
The
Company classify long-lived assets, or disposal groups comprised of assets and liabilities, as held for sale in the period in which the
following six criteria are met, (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the group of assets
and liabilities; (ii) the assets and liabilities are available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that
are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been
initiated; (iv) the sale is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for
sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate
that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn, in accordance with Accounting
Standard Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the
lower of its carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated
fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to a business classified as held for sale are segregated
in the current and prior balance sheets in the period in which the business is classified as held for sale, resulting in changes to the
presentation of certain prior period amounts. The Company ceases depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets (or disposal groups)
classified as held for sale and measures them at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell.

Notes

For
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed

The
Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has
(or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results when the business is classified as held for sale,
in accordance with ASC 360, and ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. Under ASC 360, assets
may be classified as held for sale even though discontinued operations classification is not met. The results of discontinued operations
are reported in Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
loss for current and prior periods, including any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value
less cost to sell. All other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations and exclude
amounts related to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Revenue
Recognition
In
May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs
have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step
model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate.
The
Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is
measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where financial acceptance
of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues are recognized
under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its products
and services to customers in return for expected consideration.
The
Company generates revenue through the sale of skincare products. Revenue from the sale of skincare products are recognized at the point
in time when the Company considered revenue realized or realizable and earned, which is typically when all of the five following criteria
are met: (1) the contract with the customer is identifiable (i.e. when a sales transaction has been entered into between the Company
and the customer), (2) the performance obligation in the contract is identifiable (i.e. the customer has ordered a known quantity of
product to be delivered), (3) the transaction price is determinable (i.e. the customer has agreed to the Company’s price for the
products ordered), (4) the Company is able to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5)
the performance obligations have been satisfied, which is typically upon delivery of the product to the customer.
Transaction
prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant agreements; therefore, the Company does not believe that significant
judgements are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.
The
Company is responsible for providing the products to customers. As a result, the Company is considered the Principal when providing products
to customers. As the Company collects payment at the time of the customer order, its contracts do not have a significant financing component.
Customers are entitled to replacement or full refund of any damaged or defective product, after the return of the damaged or defective
product to the Company. There were no significant returns or refunds during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Research
and Development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. The Company incurs research and
development costs in the pursuit of new products and improving the formulation of existing products. Examples of research costs include
laboratory research, studies, surveys, and other activities aimed at acquiring new knowledge. Development costs include expenses incurred
in the process of applying research findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for a new product or process. Examples of development
costs include engineering, design, testing, and other activities aimed at developing a product or process for commercial production.
Development
costs may be capitalized if the following criteria are met: (1) technological feasibility has been established, (2) the Company intends
to complete the product or process. (3) the Company has the ability to use or sell the product or process, (4) the product or process
will generate future economic benefits, and (5) the costs can be reliably measured.
As
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not capitalized any development cost.
Intangible
Assets
In
accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”, intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization.
They are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which reflect the period over which economic benefits
are expected to be realized. In accordance with ASC 730 “Research and development costs”, an acquired in-process researched
and development (“IPR&D”) intangible asset with an alternative future use is capitalized, in accordance with ASC 350,
and amortized over its useful life. Although IPR&D assets are likely to be finite-lived, amortization does not begin until the research
and development projects are completed. In accordance with the IPR&D asset purchase agreement, the Company is required to meet development
milestones starting with the initiation of a pre-clinical IND-enabling study within 2 years of the acquisition date, and ending with
obtaining marketing approval from the FDA within 9 years of the acquisition date. Management assesses impairment indicators at each reporting
period end. The estimated useful lives of intangible assets are generally as follows:
License #1 – INmune 10 -year straight-line
License #2 – MOA IPR&D project not yet complete
Marketing
and Promotion
Costs
associated with marketing and promoting the Company’s products are expensed when incurred. The Company includes the cost of products
given out as samples in marketing and promotion expenses.
Leases
The
Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. We determine if an arrangement meets the definition of
a lease at inception of the contract. Leases are classified as either operating or finance leases. All of the Company’s leases
have been assessed as operating leases. Accounting for operating leases, other than short term leases, results in operating lease right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets.

Notes

For

(Expressed

ROU
assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease
payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. As our lease do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based
on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating
lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or
terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset
and liability method provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequence
of temporary differences between the financial reporting and taxes basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in
effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to
the amount that it believes more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available
positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income
tax planning, strategies and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that such deferred tax assets will be recognized
in the future in excess of the net recorded amount then the deferred tax asset valuation will be adjusted which would reduce the provision
for income taxes. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. As of
December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to tax assets or liabilities as the Company has
incurred losses since inception and has taken a full valuation allowance against its tax loss carry forwards. In addition, the Company
did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to tax expense or recovery.
The
Company records uncertain tax provisions in accordance with ASC 740 based on a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made about
whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for
those tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit
that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
As
of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes
interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in office and administrative expense. The Company did not incur any penalties
or interest during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Cash,
receivables and refundable deposits are the only financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk. The Company places
its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Receivables relate to sales taxes paid that is reimbursable
from the Canadian government and timing differences on receiving proceeds from sales transactions processed through customer credit cards.
Refundable deposits relate to the Company’s security deposit on lease agreements.

Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, regulatory environment, other
risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency
exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but
which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess
such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings
that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates
the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or
expected to be sought.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be
estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment
indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,
then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would
be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in
which case the guarantee would be disclosed.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash
includes cash on hand and cash in demand deposits. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of
three months or less. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.
Receivables
All
receivables under standard terms are due thirty ( 30 ) days from the date billed. If the funds are not received within thirty (30) days,
the customer is contacted to arrange payment. The Company uses the allowance for credit losses method to account for uncollectable receivables.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no allowance for credit losses related to receivables recorded.
Inventory
Inventory
consist of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s
manufacturing process involves the production of our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai Exosomes TM . Finished goods consists
of a new generation of cosmetic topical products containing our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai Exosomes TM . Cost is determined
using the weighted average cost formula. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less the estimated
selling expenses. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventories
to net realizable value, if lower.

Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of assets are
capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line
method. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:
Lab equipment 7 -year straight-line
Furniture and fixtures 7 -year straight-line
Computers 5 -year straight-line
The
Company ceases to depreciate property and equipment on the date that it is reclassified to assets held for sale.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The
Company reviews long-lived assets such as equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset,
a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
The Company’s policy for long-lived
assets requires judgement in determining whether the present value of future expected economic benefits exceeds capitalized costs. The
policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future economic benefits related to its operations. Estimates
and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of capitalized
cost is unlikely, the capitalized cost is written off/impaired to the consolidated statement of operations.
Derivative
Financial Instruments
The
Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates
all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain
features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative
instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported
in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments
at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should
be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.
Common
Stock Warrants
The
Company classifies as equity any warrants that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with
a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies
as assets or liabilities any warrants that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if
an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control), (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement
or (iii) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception. The Company assesses classification of its common
stock warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification is required. Warrants classified as liabilities
are initially recorded at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense) in
the consolidated statements of operations at each period end while such instruments remain outstanding.

Financial
Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities
from Equity,” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.
ASC
820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the
Company. ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures
of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated
balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair
values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current
market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level
1
Level
1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2
Level
2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability
such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets
with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level
3
Level
3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement
of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, investment in securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
consideration payable, due to related parties and derivative liabilities. Except for cash, investment in securities and derivative liabilities,
the Company’s financial instruments’ carrying amounts, excluding unamortized discounts, approximate their fair values due
to their short term to maturity. Cash is measured and recognized at fair value based on level 1 inputs for all periods presented. Investment
in securities is measured and recognized at fair value based on level 2 inputs as at December 31, 2024. Derivative liabilities are measured
and recognized at fair value based on level 3 inputs.

Loss
per Share
The
Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation
of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period
using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average
stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or
warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The
Company’s preferred stock, stock options and warrants outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are considered
potential common shares that could dilute earnings per share, but were not included in the diluted loss per share computation because
their effect was antidilutive for the periods presented. As a result, there is no difference between the computation of basic and diluted
loss per shares for the periods presented.
Share-Based
Compensation
Employees
- The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees,
including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant
date), and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Nonemployees
- During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”)
to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees.
Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method
which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and
recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
During
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 97,167 and $ 487,738 , respectively, in share-based compensation expense,
of which $ 93,449 and $ 3,718 , and $ 250,067 and $ 237,671 , respectively is included in office and administration and discontinued operations,
respectively. Within discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, ($ 599 ) and $ 4,317 , and $ 226,838 and $ 10,833 ,
respectively is included in office and administration and research and development, respectively.

For

(Expressed

Determining
the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the
fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The
expected volatility represents the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies in similar industries, adjusted for
variables such as stock price, market capitalization and life cycle. Due to limited historical data, the expected term for options granted
is equal to the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected
life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore,
the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
Accounting
for Freestanding Instruments Issued Together
The
Company accounts for multiple instruments issued together in accordance with ASC 470 “Debt”, ASC 480 “Distinguishing
Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 505 “Equity”. The Company first identifies all freestanding instruments. When multiple
freestanding instruments are issued in a single transaction, the total proceeds from the transaction are allocated among the individual
freestanding instruments identified based on their relative fair values at issuance. Transaction costs that are directly attributable
to the issuance of both debt and equity are allocated between the liability and equity components based on their relative fair values.
Recently
Adopted Accounting Standards
In
March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, ASC Subtopic 326 “Credit Losses”: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures.
Since the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of
Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Board has provided resources to monitor and assist stakeholders with the implementation of
Topic 326 (“Update”). Post-Implementation Review (PIR) activities have included forming a Credit Losses Transition Resource
Group, conducting outreach with stakeholders of all types, developing educational materials and staff question-and-answer guidance, conducting
educational workshops, and performing an archival review of financial reports. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for annual and interim periods
beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
In
June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale
Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring
the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a
related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions
that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820.
Stakeholders
asserted that the language in the illustrative example resulted in diversity in practice on whether the effects of a contractual restriction
that prohibits the sale of an equity security should be considered in measuring that equity security’s fair value. Some stakeholders
apply a discount to the price of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction, whereas other stakeholders consider the
application of a discount to be inappropriate under the principles of Topic 820.

In
November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU
2023-07”), intended to improve reportable segments disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant
segment expenses.
ASU 2023-07 includes a requirement
to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment
profit or loss, the title and position of the CODM, an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or
loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, and all segments’ profit or loss and assets disclosures.
ASU 2023-07 is effective for all public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for the interim

assets and consideration payable
On
January 15, 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement with a Biotechnology company to use their proprietary technology and process
to assist in formulating stem cells (“License #1”). The term of the license is 10 years and has a purchase price of $ 1,000,000 .
The payments structure for License #1 is as follows:
a) $ 50,000 payable upon executing the license (paid)
b) $ 350,000 payable on March 15, 2025 (updated from July 15, 2024 in an amendment dated July 9, 2024) 1
c) $ 600,000 payable on completion of technology transfer or two years from January 15, 2024, whichever comes first 1 .
1 Effective
February 27, 2025, the Company and the Biotechnology company entered into a mutual termination agreement to terminate the Company’s
right to License #1 and to release the Company of the remaining undiscounted obligation payable of $ 950,000 . Upon termination, no further
obligations will be required of either party.
The
cost of License #1 was measured at $ 861,452 , which is the fair value of the consideration payable on initial recognition, determined
by discounting the future payments using a market interest rate of 11.75 %.

On
April 30, 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with a pharmaceutical company granting the Company rights to
develop, manufacture, and commercialize licensed products (“License #2”). The Company has classified License #2 as an IPR&D
asset resulting in only the acquisition costs plus any transaction costs to be capitalized upon acquisition. The research and development
project associated with License #2 is not yet complete and as a result the Company has not yet determined the useful life of the IPR&D
asset.
The
Company paid consideration of $ 400,000 and 679 common shares with a value of $ 492,850 to the pharmaceutical company. The shares issued
to the pharmaceutical company are unregistered and subject to trading restrictions for six months from the issue date resulting in a
fair value discount adjustment of $ 173,100 on the value of the common shares issued to the pharmaceutical company. The Company incurred
transaction costs of $ 12,320 in legal fees and $ 1,117,771 in common shares paid to a consultant who assisted in acquiring License #2.
The common shares to be issued to the consultant will be unregistered and subject to trading restrictions for a 1-year period from the
issue date of the first tranche resulting in a fair value discount adjustment of $ 599,863 on the value of the common shares issued to
the consultant. The fair value adjustments were calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, expected time to expiration or exercise,
the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.
Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
The

The
consultant is to receive 1,750 shares in the following tranches and all shares were earned (i.e. fully vested) upon the Company’s
acquisition of License #2 as follows:
● May 3, 2024: 438 Shares (issued)
● August 1, 2024: 437 Shares (issued)
● November 1, 2024: 437 Shares (issued)
● February 2, 2025: 438 Shares (issued – Note 16)
The
cost of License #2 IPR&D asset is $ 2,023,097 , which is the fair value of the consideration paid on initial recognition.

With
the sale of the skincare business, the Company identified indicators of impairment associated with License #1 given that there was a
change in the Company’s intention to use the intangible asset in its continuing operations. Given the termination of the license
agreement effective February 27, 2025 (as discussed above), the Company determined that there is no impairment required as at December
31, 2024 as the carrying amount of the intangible asset of $ 778,896 , is recoverable through the termination of the license agreement
and the Company being released from its consideration payable obligation with a carrying value of $ 884,467 as of December 31, 2024. The
Company expects to record a gain on derecognition of the intangible asset and consideration payable in fiscal 2025.
As
License #2 is an IPR&D intangible asset, the Company is required to perform an annual impairment test. In accordance with ASC 350
“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment first, to determine
if it is more likely than not that the IPR&D intangible asset is impaired. Only if the qualitative test indicates that it is more
likely than not that the intangible asset is impaired, is the Company required to calculate the fair value of the intangible asset and
perform a quantitative impairment test. Under the qualitative analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the
intangible asset is not impaired, and as a result was not required to perform a quantitative test as of December 31, 2024.
10. Derivative
liabilities
On
July 15, 2022, the Company issued 167 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $ 2,817 as part of the conversion of promissory
notes.
On
November 21, 2023, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and issued 54 warrants (the “IPO warrants”).
Each IPO warrant is exercisable into one share of common stock of the Company at $ 5,600 per share and expire on November 21, 2028 .
We
analyzed the common stock purchase warrants issued as partial settlement of the promissory notes payable and the IPO warrants against
the requirements of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that the warrants should be classified as financial
liabilities.
ASC
815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that the warrants be accounted for as derivative liabilities with initial and subsequent measurement
at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as other income (expense).
A
continuity of the Company’s common stock purchase derivative liability warrants is as follows:

We
determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to calculate
the fair value as of initial recognition and at subsequent period ends. The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model requires six basic data
inputs: the exercise or strike price, expected time to expiration or exercise, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price,
the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly
higher or lower fair value measurement.

April 28, 2023, the Company amended the warrant agreements for the 167 derivative liability warrants outstanding. The amendment removed
the clause to automatically convert warrants to shares on IPO date and all warrants were given an expiry date of April 27, 2027 . This
led to an increase in the expected life input in the Black-Scholes model as of December 31, 2023 compared to December 31, 2022, when
the Company used the expected IPO date to calculate the expected life of the warrants.
11. Notes
payable
On
July 31, 2024, the Company signed a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) to sell an aggregate
of $ 1,150,000 in Notes with a $ 150,000 original issue discount. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed
to issue 929 shares of common stock (Note 12). Given the original issue discount, the subscription amount received by the Company was
an aggregate of $ 1,000,000 . The Notes were non-interest bearing except in the event of default, in which case interest would accrue at
14 % per annum. The maturity date of the Notes was 90 days from the date of issuance. While the Notes were outstanding, the Company agreed
to use the net proceeds of any offering of its equity or debt securities to first redeem the Notes in full, including the principal amount
and all other amounts due and payable pursuant to the Notes.
The
fair value of the Notes was $ 622,239 . The Company incurred total transaction costs of $ 137,500 in relation to the Security Purchase Agreement,
of which $ 85,558 was attributed to the issuance of the Notes and $ 51,942 was attributed to the issuance of common shares. The Company
repaid $ 1,150,000 in relation to the Notes Payable in September 2024, resulting in a Notes payable balance of $ nil at December 31, 2024.

Transactions
during the year ended December 31, 2024
On
September 24, 2024, with each of the 20,408 shares of common stock or pre-funded warrants issued on the same date, the Company also issued
one Series A Warrant (the “Series A Warrants”) and one Series B Warrant (the “Series B Warrants”). The Series
A Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date of completion of the requisite waiting period following the filing of the Information
Statement related to the approval by the stockholders of the Company (the “Initial Exercise Date” or “Shareholder Approval
Date”) of the issuance of shares upon exercise of the Warrants, among other things (the “Shareholder Approval”). The
Initial Exercise Date was October 30, 2024. The Series B Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the Shareholder Approval Date. The
Series A Warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date and the Series B Warrants will expire on the
two and one-half-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date.
The
exercise price of the Series A and Series B Warrants shall be $ 532 , subject to adjustments, including the following:
A.
On the day that is the
eleventh trading day following the Initial Exercise Date (the “Reset Date”), the exercise price shall be adjusted to
equal the reset price (the “Reset Price”), which is the greater of:
(i)
the lowest daily volume-weighted
average price (“VWAP”) during the 10-day period following the Initial Exercise Date (the “Reset Period”);
and
(ii) the floor price in effect as of the Reset Date, being a price equal to $ 78.40 (the “Floor Price”).
B.
Upon reset of the Series
A and Series B Warrants’ exercise price, the number of Series A and Series B Warrants and the number of common shares issuable
shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price (“Initial Exercise Value”) on the issuance date shall remain
unchanged following such reset.
Furthermore,
holders of the Series B Warrants may effect an “alternative cashless exercise”. In such an event, the aggregate number of
common shares issuable in such alternative cashless exercise shall equal the product of (i) the aggregate number of common shares that
would be issuable upon exercise of a Series B Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise,
multiplied by (ii) 3.0.

As
of the Reset Date, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants has been adjusted to the Floor Price of $ 78.40 . In addition, the number
of Series A Warrants outstanding was adjusted to 138,485 such that the Initial Exercise Value on the issuance date remained unchanged.
As
of the Reset Date, the exercise price of the Series B Warrants has been adjusted to the Floor Price. In addition, the number of Series
B Warrants outstanding was adjusted to 134,425 such that the Initial Exercise Value on the issuance date remained unchanged. All of the
Series B Warrants were exercised using the alternative cashless exercise resulting in the issuance of 403,275 common shares.
On
September 24, 2024, the Company issued 1,021 placement agent warrants to the placement agent in connection with the financing that closed
on the same date (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). These Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $ 470.40 and shall
expire three and a half years from issuance. As these warrants are accounted for as equity warrants, they have no net impact on the consolidated
statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.
Transactions
during the year ended December 31, 2023
On
March 2, 2023, the Company issued 179 common stock and 179 common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant is exercisable at $ 4,200 per
common stock. The warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part at the issue date but such exercisability shall cease upon the date
of the Company’s IPO and listing of its common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market or other Trading Market and shall continue to
be exercisable in whole or in part immediately after the Lock-up Period but no later than the Warrant Expiration Date or Accelerated
Warrant Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”). In the event of the Company’s initial public offering and listing
of shares of its common stock on a Trading Market, the Company shall notify the holder at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the
consummation of such IPO. “Trading Market” shall mean a “national securities exchange” that has registered with
the SEC under Section 6 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Expiration Date shall be the earlier of (i) three years and one hundred
eighty (180) days from the issue date (the “Warrant Expiration Date”) or (ii) upon the Company’s reasonable judgment
and written notice to the purchaser, of the Company’s option to accelerate the Warrant Expiration Date whereby upon purchaser’s
receipt of the Company’s written notice of acceleration during the Exercise Period, the Purchaser’s option to exercise any
number of warrants shall occur no later than fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the written notice of acceleration (the “Accelerated
Warrant Expiration Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be reasonable for the Company to accelerate the Expiration Date
of this warrant to coincide with transactions including, but not limited to (i) a change of control including but not limited to the
voluntary or involuntary sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition, or transfer by operation of law, of more than 50 % of any direct
or indirect equity interest of the Company; or (ii) a subsequent capital financing other than the IPO consisting of but not limited to
an offer or proposal for, or indication of interest in, the issuance of debt or the capital stock of the Company.
On
September 13, 2023, the Company issued 60 common stock and 72 common stock purchase warrants. Each warrant is exercisable at $ 4,200 per
common stock. The Warrants shall be exercisable, in whole or in part immediately upon issuance, but such exercisability shall cease upon
the date of the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) and listing of its Common Shares on the Nasdaq Capital
Market or other Trading Market (as defined herein) and will only become exercisable after the expiration of one hundred eighty ( 180 )
days following the Company’s initial public offering (the “Lock-up Period”). The expiration date shall be three years
and one hundred eighty ( 180 ) days following the issuance of the Warrant Shares.

Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For
the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023
(Expressed
in United States dollars)
Deferred
income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating
the ability to recover the deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considered all available positive
and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies,
and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company began with historical results adjusted for changes
in accounting policies and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary
differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgement
about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the underlying
businesses. In evaluating objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company consider three years of cumulative operating
income (loss).
As of December 31, 2024, the Company
had aggregate net operating losses for income tax purposes of $ 11,937,946 (2023 – $ 4,168,622 ) to offset future taxable income in
the United States and Canada. As of December 31, 2024, the deferred tax asset related to these loss carry forwards amounted to approximately
$ 3,323,000 (2023 - $ 1,710,000 ) and were fully reserved. Management believes that it is not yet more likely than not that these assets
will be realized in the near future.
15. Commitments
and Contingencies
There
were no commitments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 or during the years then ended.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company
had an ongoing dispute that arose in the normal course of business. In February 2025, solely to avoid the cost and burdens associated
with litigation, the Company and the parties (each a “Party” or collectively “Parties”) entered into a settlement
agreement to fully and finally resolve any and all claims between them, without the Company or any Party admitting any liability or fault.
Due to the confidential nature of the settlement agreement, the Company is not in a position to disclose the terms of the settlement,
however the amounts payable by the Company to the Parties and their legal counsel is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
as of December 31, 2024.
