Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of Elevai Labs Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Elevai”
and the “Company”) contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the
safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements that are not statements of historical
facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. These statements appear in several different places in this Quarterly Report and,
in some cases, can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,”
“contemplates,” “intends,” “believes,” “plans,” “may,” “will”
or their negatives or other comparable words, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking
statements in this Quarterly Report may include, but are not limited to, statements and/or information related to: our financial performance
and projections; our business prospects and opportunities; our business strategy and future operations; the projection of timing and
delivery of products in the future; projected costs; expected production capacity; expectations regarding demand and acceptance of our
products; estimated costs of research and development to develop new pipeline products; trends in the market in which we operate; the
plans and objectives of management; our liquidity and capital requirements, including cash flows and uses of cash; trends relating to
our industry; plans relating to our current products; and plans and intentions to regain compliance with the listing requirements of
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), including, among other things, through the implementation of a reverse stock split.
We have based these
forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events on information that is available as of the date of this Quarterly
Report, and any forward-looking statements made by us speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we believe these expectations
are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control.
Our actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking statements for various reasons,
including, our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with new technology and changing market needs;
our capital needs, and the competitive environment of our business. Additional Factors that could contribute to such differences include,
but are not limited to:
●
general economic and business
conditions, including changes in interest rates;
●
prices of other competitive
products, costs associated with research and development of our products and other economic conditions;
●
the effect of an outbreak
of disease or similar public health threat, such as any future outbreak of COVID-19 on the Company’s business (natural phenomena,
including the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic);
●
the impact of political
unrest, natural disasters or other crises, terrorist acts, acts of war and/or military operations, and our ability to maintain or
broaden our business relationships and develop new relationships with strategic alliances, suppliers, customers, distributors or
otherwise;
●
breaches in data security,
failure of information security systems, cyber-attacks or other security or privacy-related incidents affecting us or our suppliers;
●
the ability of our information
technology systems or information security systems to operate effectively;
●
actions by government authorities,
including changes in government regulation;
●
uncertainties associated
with legal proceedings;
●
changes in the size of
the medical aesthetics, cosmetics and biotechnology market;
●
future decisions by management
in response to changing conditions;
ii
●
the Company’s ability
to execute prospective business plans;
●
misjudgments in the course
of preparing forward-looking statements;
●
the Company’s ability
to raise sufficient funds to carry out its proposed business plan;
●
inability to keep up with
advances in medical aesthetics and biotechnology;
●
inability to design, develop,
market and sell new medical aesthetics and biotech products that address additional market opportunities to generate revenue and
positive cash flows;
●
dependency on certain key
personnel and any inability to retain and attract qualified personnel;
●
inability to succeed in
establishing, maintaining and strengthening the Elevai brand;
●
our expectations regarding
our ability to obtain, maintain, protect, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights and operate without infringing, misappropriating,
or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others;
●
disruption of supply or
shortage of raw materials;
●
the unavailability, reduction
or elimination of government and economic incentives;
●
failure to manage future
growth effectively; and
●
the other risks and uncertainties
detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including but not limited
to those described under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as amended
for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”).
Although management
has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking
statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated
in such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These cautionary
remarks expressly qualify, in their entirety, all forward-looking statements attributable to our Company or persons acting on our Company’s
behalf. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in
other factors affecting such statements, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable securities laws.

Elevai Labs Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited - Expressed in United States dollars)
1. Organization
and nature of operations
Elevai Labs Inc. (“Elevai”)
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 9, 2020. Elevai and its 100 % owned subsidiaries, Elevai Research Inc.,
Elevai Skincare Inc., and Elevai Biosciences, Inc., are collectively referred to in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
as “the Company.”
The Company is a skincare development
company engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of skincare products in the skincare industry. The Company’s principal
activities are developing and manufacturing skincare products.
On April 29, 2024, Elevai Skincare Inc.
("Skincare”) and Elevai Biosciences, Inc. (“BioSciences”) were incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware.
Elevai is the sole shareholder of Skincare and BioSciences. The purpose of Skincare is to operate the Company’s existing business,
while the purpose of BioSciences is to hold and develop the Company’s intellectual property. Effective May 1, 2024, Elevai transferred
its operating assets and liabilities relating to its skincare business to Skincare in exchange for common stock of Skincare.
2. Going Concern
These unaudited condensed 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 September 30, 2024, and December
31, 2023, the Company had a net working capital of $ 6,097,404 and $ 3,622,091 , respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $ 11,334,888
and $ 7,023,890 , respectively. Furthermore, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of
$ 4,310,998 and $ 3,143,601 , respectively, and used $ 3,486,435 and $ 2,168,661 , respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These
factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed 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 raising additional debt or 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
These unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements 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”) for interim financial information and are
expressed in United States dollars. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we
have included all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited - Expressed in United States dollars)
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the account of Elevai, and its 100 % owned subsidiaries, Elevai Research Inc., Skincare, and BioSciences.
All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed
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 unaudited condensed 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 Elevai Research Inc. 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 Elevai Research Inc.
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).
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 10 -year straight-line
License #2 IPR&D project not yet complete

(Unaudited - Expressed in United States dollars)
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.
New Accounting Standards
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 unaudited
condensed 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.
For public business entities, the amendments
in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption
of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company assesses the adoption impacts
of recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on the Company’s unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements.
There are no recently issued accounting
standards which may have effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

8. Intangible assets
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 payment 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); and
c) $ 600,000 payable on completion of technology transfer or two years from January 15, 2024, whichever comes first.
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.

Elevai Labs Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited - Expressed in United States dollars)
The Company paid consideration of $ 400,000
and 950,000 shares of common stock 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 stock issued to the pharmaceutical company. The Company incurred transaction costs of $ 12,320 in
legal fees and $ 1,117,771 in common stock paid to a consultant who assisted in acquiring License #2. The common stock 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 stock 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 following assumptions were used
in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:
Initial
recognition
Risk-free interest rate
5.12 - 5.44 %
Expected life
0.5 - 1 years
Expected dividend
rate
0.00 %
Expected
volatility
100 %
The consultant is to receive 2,450,000
shares of common stock 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: 612,500 shares (issued)
● August 1, 2024: 612,500 shares (issued)
● November 1, 2024: 612,500 shares (issued – Note 18)
● February 2, 2025: 612,500 shares
The cost of License #2 IPR&D asset
is $ 2,023,097 , which is the fair value of the consideration paid on initial recognition.

9. Operating Lease
During 2022, the Company entered into
a non-cancelable operating lease that includes two property locations, one which is being used as the Company’s office and the
other as its lab for research and development and the production of inventory. The lease had a commencement date of June 1, 2022, and
expires on May 31, 2025, after which the term will continue on a month-to-month basis.
On July 3, 2023, the Company amended
the terms of the previously entered lease agreement to lease additional office space from the lessor. Rent increased from $ 10,773 to $ 13,477
per month commencing July 1, 2023, through May 31, 2025. The lease amendment required a remeasurement of the lease liability which resulted
in an increase of $ 47,986 to the lease liability and an equal increase in the right-of-use asset as of July 1, 2023. The Company used
a discount rate of 11.50 % upon the remeasurement of the lease liability on July 1, 2023, compared to an original discount rate of 8 % on
lease commencement, as its incremental cost of borrowing due to the amendment.
The Company recognized a total lease
cost related to its non-cancelable operating lease of $ 119,222 and $ 103,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
The lease cost has been allocated as follows based on the square footage of each property location.

12. Derivative liabilities
On July 15, 2022, the Company issued
231,828 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $ 2.01 as part of the conversion of promissory notes.
On November 21, 2023, the Company completed
its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and issued 75,000 warrants (the “IPO warrants”). Each IPO warrant is exercisable
into one share of common stock of the Company at $ 4 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:
Derivative

$ 369,158
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities
( 367,277 )
Outstanding, September 30, 2024
$ 1,881
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 as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023. 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.

As of September 30, 2024, and December
31, 2023, the weighted average life of derivative liability warrants outstanding was 2.96 and 3.71 years, respectively.
1 On April 28, 2023, the Company amended the warrant agreements
for the 231,828 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.
13. Notes payable

Transactions during the

On September 24, 2024, with each of
the 28,571,425 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 $ 0.38 , 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 $ 0.056 (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.
On September 24, 2024, the Company issued
1,428,571 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 $ 0.336 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.

number of warrants shall occur no later than fourteen (14) days following the receipt of the written notice of acceleration (the “Accelerated

30, 2024, no single customer represented 10% or more of the Company's revenue. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023,
the Company recorded 14 % of its revenue from its largest customers. The Company’s largest customer, representing $ 139,149 of revenue,

compared to 66% in 2023. The overall increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to the Company selling Enfinity at a higher
gross margin due to less commissions paid to salespersons compared to overall sales. Additionally, the cost to produce each unit of Enfinity
decreased as the Company saw gross margin improvements due to operational efficiencies gained and securing better volume pricing with
some of its key suppliers.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, were $268,786 compared to $303,769 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $34,983.
Research and Development related to the Company’s Enfinity and Empower products, and development of new products for the Company.
The decrease in research and development is mainly driven by the company performing more tests on new products to improve formulation
efficiency in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During both the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s
laboratory staff worked on increasing efficiency and refining the production process. The decrease in this expense is partially offset
by amortization of intangible assets of $61,019 and $Nil that was recognized in research and development expenses during the years ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Marketing and Promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, were $1,209,041 compared to $316,436 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $892,605.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company increased its marketing and promotion efforts to drive sales and support
the Company’s existing customers, which included incurring digital advertising costs of $388,283, public relations costs of $331,317,
giving out product samples with a cost of $127,919 (nine months ended September 30, 2023 - $96,184), and attending and sponsoring industry
conferences.
Office and Administrative Expenses
Office and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024, were $2,096,372, compared to $1,628,931 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of
$467,441. The increase is mainly the result of salaries and wages of $1,310,420 and office rent of $106,694 incurred during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,000,313 and $89,600 of salaries and wages and office rent, respectively, in the nine months ended
September 30, 2023, a combined increase of $327,201. Additionally, the increase is a result on insurance costs of $352,222 during the
nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $23,804 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as the Company was required to
purchase director and officer insurance due to being publicly traded. The Company increased its headcount and moved into a larger office
location to accommodate the commercialization of its products and growth in operations in July 2023. During the nine months ended September
30, 2024, office and administrative expenses also include share-based compensation of $53,977, compared to $337,551 in the nine ended
September 30, 2023. This decrease is due to a director resigning on February 29, 2024, the termination of the Chief Marketing Officer
and the Chief Commercial Officer and the termination of four other employees in June 2024, and the resignation of the Chief Medical Officer
in August 2024. This resulted in the forfeiture of 394,990 options, as well as resulting in the reversal of the share-based compensation.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the nine months ended September
30, 2024, were $817,030, compared to $316,468 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $500,562. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred consulting fees in relation to recruitment, strategic introductions, business
advisory, international relations, and strategy. In addition, the Company received services from a number of parties (including companies
controlled by related parties and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)) in a consulting capacity. The increase in consulting fees
is consistent with the increase in operations.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the nine months ended September
30, 2024, was $587,954, compared to $450,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $137,570. Professional fees
comprise of legal, audit and accounting services. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due to an
increase in audit, legal and accounting services as the company is now listed on the Nasdaq.
Travel and Entertainment Expenses
Travel and entertainment for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, was $160,612, compared to $250,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $89,388. Travel and
entertainment expenses are related primarily to costs incurred during the attendance of industry trade shows and conferences. The decrease
relates to fewer conferences and trade shows visited by staff of the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Investor Relations Expenses
Investor relations expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, was $141,484, compared to $84,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in investor relations

During
the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company sold 2,616 and 2,388 bottles of Enfinity, respectively, an increase of
228 bottles or 10%. This increase in sales volumes is primarily due to increased market acceptance, continued growth in the number of
US accounts, onboarding of international distributors, and repeat business from current customers and distributors. The Company sold 288
(eight packs) of Empower tubes in 2024, compared to 483 (eight packs) of Empower tubes during 2023, a decrease of 195 (eight packs) or
40%. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 100 units of its scalp and hair cleanser. During the three months
ended September 30, 2023, the Company sold 48 liters under a white label distributor agreement. The Company no longer earns revenue from
this white label distributor.

The decrease in cost of revenue is partly attributable
to the decrease in sales during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 2023. However, the Company managed to increase
gross margin despite the decline in sales as explained further below. The following is a breakdown of the components of the cost of revenue:

Gross Profit
Gross profit for the three months ended September
30, 2024, was $393,901 as compared to $366,145 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $27,756. This represents
an overall gross margin percentage of 75% for three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 66% in 2023. The overall increase in
gross margin percentage is primarily due to the Company selling Enfinity at a higher gross margin due to less commissions paid to salespersons
compared to overall sales. Additionally, the cost to produce each unit of Enfinity decreased as the company saw gross margin improvements
due to operational efficiencies gained and securing better volume pricing with some of its key suppliers.

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2024, were $95,260 compared to $86,374 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $8,886.
Research and development related to the Company’s Enfinity, Empower and development of new products for the Company. This increase
in research and development expenses is mainly due to the amortization of intangible assets and increased consulting fees related to research
and development in the current period. During both the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company’s lab staff
worked on increasing efficiency and refining the production process.
Marketing and Promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2024, were $94,514 compared to $99,709 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $5,195.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company decreased its marketing and promotion expenses in an effort to conserve
cash now that the Company has achieved higher market acceptance.
Office and Administrative Expenses
Office and administrative expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2024, were $553,808, compared to $664,922 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $111,114.
This decrease is mainly attributable to a decrease in the share-based compensation recognized in office and administrative expenses from
$158,815 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $43,493 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease is due
to a director resigning on February 29, 2024, the termination of the Chief Marketing Officer and the Chief Commercial Officer and the
termination of three other employees in June 2024, and the resignation of the Chief Medical Officer in August 2024. These terminations
and resignations all have an impact of decreasing share-based compensation for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Payroll also
decreased from $392,163 to $265,957 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 2023, which is also attributable to
these terminations and resignations.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the three months ended September
30, 2024, were $235,461, compared to $82,781 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This represents an increase of $152,680 from
the three months ended September 30, 2023 to the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2024,
and 2023, the Company incurred consulting fees in relation to recruitment, strategic introductions, business advisory, international relations,
and strategy. In addition, the Company received services from a number of parties (including companies controlled by related parties and
CFO) in a consulting capacity. The increase in consulting fees is consistent with the increase in operations.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the three months ended September
30, 2024, were $249,889, compared to $143,654 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $106,234. Professional fees
were comprised of legal, audit and accounting services. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily due
to an increase in audit, legal and accounting services as the company is now listed on the Nasdaq.
30
Travel and Entertainment Expenses
Travel and entertainment expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2024 were $44,383, compared to $65,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, a decrease of $21,447.
Travel and entertainment expenses are related primarily to costs incurred during the attendance of industry trade shows and conferences.
The decrease relates to less conferences and trade shows visited by staff of the Company in the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Investor Relations Expenses
Investor relations expenses for the three months
ended September 30, 2024, were $36,862, compared to $9,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase is due to the Company
engaging in more investor relation activities as it is now a publicly listed entity.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying 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, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment
of profitable operations.
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023,
the Company had a net working capital of $6,097,404 and $3,622,091, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $11,334,888 and $7,023,890,
respectively. Furthermore, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,310,998 and $3,143,601,
respectively and used $3,486,435 and $2,168,661, respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying 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.
Our principal liquidity requirements are for working
capital, capital expenditure, research and development and inventory production. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through
cash on hand, cash flows from operations, the issuance of common, warrants and preferred stock, and the issuance of notes. As of September
30, 2024, we had cash of $6,425,670, with $3,326,851 as of December 31, 2023.
The following table provides selected financial

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
net cash flows used in operating activities was $3,486,435 compared to $2,168,661 used during the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
respectively, primarily due to net loss and timing of settlement of assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
and 2023, we used $171,480 and $11,191, respectively, in investing activities. In the current period this cash flow primarily related
to the payment of $162,320 for intangible assets relating to the purchase of a license to produce stem cells and the purchase of rights
to develop, manufacture and commercialize licensed products. The cash flow during the current period also relates to the purchase of equipment
for our laboratory space to be used for the production of inventory and research and development.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
we had net cash flow provided by financing activities of $6,757,501 compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $1,501,086
in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, the Company raised $6,993,059
and $1,463,586, respectively, through the issuance of common stock and common stock purchase warrants; $914,442 and $Nil, respectively,
through the issuance of notes; and $Nil and $37,500, respectively, upon the exercise of stock options in exchange for common stock. The
cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was partially offset by the repayment of notes
of $1,150,000.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant
Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S.
GAAP. 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.
The Company’s policy for property and equipment
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.
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.
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.
32
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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency
is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Elevai Research Inc. (“Elevai 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 Elevai 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).
Inventory
Inventory consists 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.
Stock-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.
Non-employees - 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.
33
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
and 2023, the Company recorded $57,521 and $346,548, respectively, in share-based compensation expense, of which $53,977 and $337,550,
and $3,544 and $8,998, respectively is included in office and administration and research and development, respectively.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and
the related assumptions requires judgment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and year ended December 31, 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.
Concentrations
Customers
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
no single customer represented 10% or more of the Company’s revenue. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company
recorded 14% of its revenue from its largest customers. The Company’s largest customer, representing $139,149 of revenue, relates
to sales to a wholesaler during the period.
Suppliers
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024,
and 2023, the Company had 3 key suppliers that represented approximately 78% and 3 key suppliers that represented approximately 66%, respectively,
of the cost incurred in the purchase and production of inventory. The table below represents a breakdown of each supplier as a percentage
of the cost incurred. (Suppliers are shown from largest to smallest and do not necessarily represent the same suppliers period over period):

The Company continually evaluates the performance
of its suppliers and the availability of alternatives to substitute or supplement its inventory production supply chain. The Company believes
that a breakdown in supply from one of its key suppliers would be overcome in a short amount of time given the availability of alternatives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements
that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues
or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources that is material to investors.
34
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, eases certain reporting
requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will
be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies.
We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial
statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective
dates.
Future Related Party Transactions
The Corporate Governance Committee of our Board
of Directors is required to approve all related party transactions. All related party transactions are made or entered into on terms that
are no less favorable to use than can be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
Impact of Inflation
We do not believe the impact of inflation on our
Company is material.
Inflation Risk
We are also exposed to inflation risk. Inflationary
factors, such as increases in labor costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material
impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on
our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposure is generally limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business,
as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments
for trading purposes.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On August 1, 2024, Hatem Abou-Sayed MD informed
us of his decision to resign as a member of our Board of Directors and as Chief Medical Officer effective as of August 1, 2024. His resignation
is not the result of any disagreement with us on any matter relating to its operation, policies (including accounting of financial policies)
or practices.
On August 1, 2024, we issued 612,500 shares of
our common stock to a consultant for services related to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Elevai Biosciences, Inc., pursuant
