Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) of PMGC Holdings Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “PMGC”
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; and plans relating to our current products.
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 our 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
●
our ability to execute
prospective business plans;
●
misjudgments in the course
of preparing forward-looking statements;
●
our 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;
●
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, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025 (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 us or persons acting on our 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.

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 was 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, with PMGC
as the sole shareholder of PMGC Capital.
On November 27, 2024, the Company completed
a reverse stock split at a 200:1 ratio, pursuant to which of two hundred shares of common stock prior to the reverse stock split were
converted into one share of common stock post-reverse split. In addition, on March 10, 2025, the Company completed a second reverse stock
split at a 7:1 ratio, pursuant to which 7 shares of common stock prior to the reverse stock split were converted into one share of common
stock post-reverse split. All current and comparative references to the number of common stock, warrants, options, weighted average number
of common stock, 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
PMGC agreed to sell and the unrelated third party agreed to purchase, PMGC’s skincare business. The sale of this skincare business
was consummated 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. The Company also retrospectively adjusted the unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to reflect discontinued operations
separately from continuing operations (Note 4).
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.
After this sale, PMGC became 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:
● Northstrive BioSciences Inc. – Biosciences is
a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and acquisition of cutting-edge aesthetic medicines and therapeutic products.
Its lead asset, EL-22, is leveraging a first-in-class engineered probiotic approach to address obesity’s pressing issue of preserving
muscle while on weight loss treatments, including GLP-1 receptor agonists.
● PMGC Research Inc. – PMGC Research is based
in Canada and currently dedicated to medical scientific research and development efforts. This company utilizes Canadian research grants
and partners with leading Canadian Universities, with aims of pushing the boundaries of innovation.
● PMGC Capital LLC – PMGC Capital is a multi-strategy
investment firm focused on direct investments, strategic lending, and acquiring undervalued companies and assets across diverse markets.
This company’s mission is to identify and seize high-potential opportunities, delivering sustainable growth and maximizing returns
on capital.

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 March 31, 2025, and December
31, 2024, the Company had a net working capital of $ 6,055,880 and $ 4,251,867 , respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $ 14,878,082
and $ 13,269,627 , respectively. Furthermore, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 1,608,455
and $ 1,397,250 , respectively and used $ 1,347,416 and $ 2,324,068 , 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,
and the acquisition of cash flow generating assets or businesses. 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 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, 2024, and 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of PMGC, and its 100 % owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research, Skincare, BioSciences and PMGC Capital.
All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
6
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 investments in securities, 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 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).
Investments in securities
Investments in securities include publicly
traded equity securities and a convertible debenture that is convertible at any time into publicly traded securities. All investments
are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in
earnings. Equity securities have readily determinable fair values and are measured in accordance with ASC 321 – Accounting for
Equity Interests. The convertible debenture is measured at fair value under ASC 320 – Investments – Debt Securities.
The cost of securities sold is determined
using the specific identification or average cost method. Investments, including publicly traded shares and those that management intends
to convert into equity upon favorable market conditions, are classified as current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
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.
7
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 consolidated financial statements.
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
period beginning on January 1, 2025. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement.
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
4. Assets and liabilities held for sale
and Discontinued operations
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement,
the Company agreed to sell its skincare business for (i) 1,267,040 shares of common stock of the buyer, having a market value of $ 728,550

sale, if and when payable: (a) buyer will pay, for each year ending on the anniversary of the Closing Date during the five-year period
following the Closing, an amount, if any, equal to 5 % of the sales generated during such year from the existing products as of the Closing;
and (b) buyer will pay a one-time payment of $ 500,000 if buyer achieves $ 500,000 in revenue from sales of the existing hair and scalp

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 are 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 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, which were 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 –
April 30,
2024
Risk-free interest rate
5.12 - 5.44 %
Expected life
0.5 - 1 years
Expected dividend rate
0.00 %
Expected volatility
100 %
The consultant who assisted in acquiring
License # 2 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)
The cost of License # 2 IPR&D asset
is $ 2,023,097 , which is the fair value of the consideration paid on initial recognition.
On March 26, 2025, the Company entered
into a first amendment to the exclusive license agreement covering License # 2, expanding its rights to include the growing animal health
market. The amendment to the existing agreement now covers a broad array of animal health applications, including pharmaceuticals for
muscular, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, and endocrine conditions, alongside innovative animal health solutions such as feed
additive applications. The Company agreed to pay $ 6,000 and issue 12,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the expansion of its
rights under License # 2.
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 $ 15,624 on the value of the common stock issued to the pharmaceutical company. The fair value adjustments were calculated using the
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

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”). The IPO warrants are exercisable
into one common share 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:
Derivative

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

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, were $32,433 compared to $2,782 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $29,651. Research
and Development related to the Company’s spending on clinical validation studies. The increase in research and development is mainly
driven by the company continuously working on the research project of EL-22 and the costs of the Type B pre-Investigational New Drug
(“pre-IND”) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Marketing and Promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, were $35,594 compared to $131,516 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $95,922. During
the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company engaged an investor relations agency under a $125,000 agreement signed on January
5, 2024, to support external communications and investor engagement efforts. No comparable agreement was entered into during the three
months ended March 31, 2025.
Office and Administrative Expenses
Office and administration expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2025, were $209,031, compared to $132,459 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $76,572. The
increase was driven by higher business activity levels, general price increases, and a shift in cost responsibilities following the disposition
of the skincare business. Additionally, share-based compensation rose by $15,731 due to the vesting of stock options granted after the
first fiscal quarter of 2024.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the three months ended March
31, 2025, were $547,557, compared to $378,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $169,084. The Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chairman provide services in a consulting capacity. The increase was primarily
driven by bonus-related consulting expenses of $300,000 (2024 – $27,072), incurred in connection with the sale of the Skincare
business, and fundraising efforts during the quarter. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in external consulting services.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 were $266,468, compared to $43,290 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $223,178. Professional fees
comprise of legal, audit and accounting services. The increase during 2025 is primarily due to an increase in audit, legal and accounting
services given the corporate restructuring and financing efforts conducted during the first three months of 2025 compared to 2024.
Investor Relations
Investor relations expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 2025 were $69,950, compared to $91,578 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $21,628. The decrease
is primarily attributable to a decrease in public relations and media coverage expenses during the current quarter.
Other income (expense)
Other income (expense) for the three months ended
March 31, 2025 amounted to a net expense of $379,087, compared to net income of $255,853 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing
an unfavorable variance of $634,940. The variance was primarily driven by a realized loss on investments of $466,678 and an unrealized
loss of $60,404 recorded in the current period, whereas no such losses were recognized in the prior period. Additionally, the comparative
period included a $274,939 fair value gain on derivative liabilities, which did not recur in the current quarter. Partially offsetting
these declines, the Company recognized a $129,613 gain on the termination of an intangible asset and interest income of $28,856, compared
to only $86 in the prior year. Interest expense also declined to $10,474 from $19,172, reflecting lower financing costs during the quarter.
24
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying 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, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately
the attainment of profitable operations.
As of March 31, 2025, we had cash of $5,364,434 and as of December
31, 2024, we had cash of $3,984,453. The increase between December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 was attributable to cash provided by financing
activities exceeding cash used in operating and investing activities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a net
working capital of $6,055,880 and $4,251,867, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $14,878,082 and $13,269,627, respectively.
Furthermore, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,608,455 and $1,397,250, respectively
and used $1,347,416 and $2,324,068, 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 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 Company believes it will have sufficient funds for at least the next
12 months from the issuance date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our principal liquidity requirements are for
working capital, capital expenditure and research and development. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash on hand
and the issuance of common and preferred stock.
The Company expects an improvement in liquidity
and capital resources, including cash obtained from any sale of investment securities it currently owns. Cash flows used in discontinued
operating and investing activities and assets and liabilities held for sale has been excluded from our analysis. The Company may be paid
additional earn-out consideration in connection with the sale of its skincare business, consisting of potential payments for each year
ending on the anniversary of the closing date of the disposition during the five-year period following the closing equal to 5% of the
sales generated during such year from the existing products as of the closing and a one-time payment of $500,000 if the buyer achieves
$500,000 in revenue from sales of the existing hair and scalp products as of the closing on or before the 24-month anniversary of the
closing date of the disposition. The Company plans to use the cash obtained from any sale of investment securities or earnout payment
for working capital.
The following table provides selected financial
data as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively (excluding assets and liabilities held for sale).

Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, net
cash flows used in operating activities was $1,155,514 compared to $889,600 used during the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively,
primarily due to net loss and timing of settlement of assets and liabilities.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2025,
and 2024, we used $215,319 and $50,000, respectively, in investing activities. In 2025, the Company made strategic investments in publicly
traded companies of $430,024, which was partially offset by cash proceeds obtained in connection with the sale of shares that were issued
to the Company in connection with the sale of its Skincare business. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company paid $50,000
towards the purchase of intangible assets.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2025,
we had cash flow provided by financing activities of $2,943,185 compared to cash flow provided by financing activities of $Nil in the
three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company raised $1,245,306 through the issuance of
common stock and prefunded warrants, and $1,698,058 through the exercise of Series A warrants.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant
Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the 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 investments in securities, 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 intangible assets
require 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting
currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, PMGC Research Inc. (“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.
26
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).
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.
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 three months ended March 31, 2025
and 2024, the Company recorded ($58,838) and $55,339, respectively, in share-based compensation expense, of which $20,762 and ($79,600),
and $5,029 and $50,310, respectively is included in office and administration and discontinued operations, respectively. Within discontinued
operations for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, ($73,768) and ($5,832), and $48,900 and $1,410, 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended 2024, 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.
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.
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.
27
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.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§
229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,”
as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
Our management, with
the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act at the end of the period covered by this Quarterly
Report.
Based on this evaluation,
the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in § 240.13a-15(e) or 240.15d-15(e) of Regulation S-K) were effective to provide
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit 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 (i)
is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms.
We recognize that any
controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives, and our
management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Changes in Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes
in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act).
