Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried
out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the
Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
Annual Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls
and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files
or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Internal control
over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary
to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made
only in accordance with the authorization of our Board and management; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Any system of internal control, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Because of
the inherent limitations in all internal control systems, no system of internal control over financial reporting can provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, management concluded
that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.
Remediation of Previously Reported Material
Weakness
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting related to insufficiently designed and operating controls surrounding accounting policies and controls, including standardized
reconciliation schedules to ensure the Company’s books and records are maintained in accordance with GAAP.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025,
the Company implemented remediation measures to address the previously identified material weakness, including hiring additional accounting
and finance personnel with the requisite knowledge, training and experience in U.S. GAAP and public company reporting requirements, and
implementing standardized reconciliation procedures and enhanced review processes over the Company’s financial close and reporting cycle.
Based on management’s evaluation as of December
31, 2025, the Company has concluded that the previously reported material weakness has been remediated and that the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting is effective as of December 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial
Reporting
Other than the remediation measures described
above, no change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, no director
or officer adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,”
as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
The Company has adopted an insider trading policy
governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by directors, officers and employees, or the
registrant itself, that have been designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and Nasdaq’s
listing standards.

Term of Office
Our directors are appointed for a one-year term
to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our
officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by the board.
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
Our Board has responsibility for the oversight
of our risk management processes and, either as a whole or through its committees, regularly discusses with management our major risk
exposures, their potential impact on our business and the steps we take to manage them. The risk oversight process includes receiving
regular reports from Board committees and members of senior management to enable our Board to understand our risk identification, risk
management and risk mitigation strategies with respect to areas of potential material risk, including operations, finance, legal, regulatory,
cybersecurity, strategic and reputational risk.
Director Independence
Our Board is composed of a majority of “independent
directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this
determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or
employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s Board, would interfere
with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a
director cannot be considered independent if:
●
the director is, or at any time during the past three (3) years was, an employee of the company;
61
●
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months within the three (3) years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
●
the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);
●
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three (3) years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or
●
the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three (3) years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.
Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken
a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his background, employment and
affiliations, our Board has determined that Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley are independent directors of the Company.
Board Committees
We have established three committees under the
board of directors: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee. We have adopted a charter for each of the
three committees. Copies of our committee charters are posted on our corporate investor relations website.
Each committee’s members and functions are
described below.
Audit Committee . Our Audit Committee consists
of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Ms. Daley is the Chairman of our Audit Committee. We have determined that these directors
satisfy the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq Rule 5605 and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our
Board of Directors has determined that Ms. Daley qualifies as an audit committee financial expert and has the accounting or financial
management expertise as required under Item 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee will oversee our accounting
and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among
other things:
●
appointing the independent auditors and pre-approving all auditing and non-auditing services permitted to be performed by the independent auditors;
●
reviewing with the independent auditors any audit problems or difficulties and management’s response;
●

●

●
monitoring management’s communication and implementation of the Company’s anti-fraud policy;
62
●
reviewing the Company’s cybersecurity mitigation measures and practices periodically;
●
meeting separately and periodically with management and the independent auditors; and
●
monitoring compliance with our code of business conduct and ethics, including reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our procedures to ensure proper compliance.
Compensation Committee . Our Compensation
Committee consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Mr. Kovalyov is the Chairman of our Compensation Committee. The
compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating
to our directors and executive officers. Our chief executive officer may not be present at any committee meeting during which his compensation
is deliberated. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:
●
reviewing and approving, or recommending to the board for its approval, the compensation for our chief executive officer and other executive officers;
●
reviewing and recommending to the shareholders for determination with respect to the compensation of our directors;
●
reviewing periodically and approving any incentive compensation or equity plans, programs or similar arrangements; and
●
selecting compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser only after taking into consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management.
Nomination Committee . Our Nomination Committee
consists of Jeffrey Parry, George Kovalyov and Juliana Daley. Mr. Parry is the chairman of our nomination committee. The nomination committee
assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board
and its committees. The nomination committee is responsible for, among other things:
●
selecting and recommending to the board nominees for election by the shareholders or appointment by the board;
●
reviewing annually with the Board the current composition of the Board with regards to characteristics such as independence, knowledge, skills, experience and diversity;
●
making recommendations on the frequency and structure of Board meetings and monitoring the functioning of the committees of the Board; and
●
advising the Board periodically with regards to significant developments in the law and practice of corporate governance as well as our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and making recommendations to the board on all matters of corporate governance and on any remedial action to be taken.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any
of our directors or executive officers.
Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, no director, independent director,
or executive officer of the Company has been a party in any legal proceeding material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity during
the past ten years.
63
Code of Ethics
The Company adopted a Code of Ethics applicable
to its directors, officers, and employees. This includes our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting
officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The full text of our Code of Ethics is posted on our website.
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an insider trading policy
that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other transactions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees. A copy of our insider
trading policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to this Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, with regard to
the Company’s trading in its own securities, it is the Company’s policy to comply with the federal securities laws and the
applicable exchange listing requirements.
Compensation Recovery Policy
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in the event of
misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper
payments from our executive officers. The SEC also recently adopted rules which direct national stock exchanges to require listed companies
to implement policies intended to recoup bonuses paid to executives if the company is found to have misstated its financial results.
In 2023, we adopted an executive compensation
recovery policy or “Clawback Policy” in compliance with Nasdaq rules. Under our Clawback Policy, if we are required to prepare
an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with the financial reporting requirements under any United States securities laws,
we will be entitled to recover (and will seek to recover), from our executive officers, any excess incentive-based compensation received
by our executive officers during the three-year period prior to the date on which we are required to prepare the restatement. This policy
applies to both equity-based and cash compensation awards. The “excess compensation” is the difference between the actual
amount that was paid and the amount that would have been paid if the financial statements were prepared properly in the first instance.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To our knowledge, none of our current directors
or executive officers has, during the past 10 years:
●
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
●
had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two (2) years prior to that time;

●
been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
64
●

●
been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Compensation Arrangements with Named Executive
Officers
Graydon Bensler
Mr. Bensler serves as Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which positions he accepted the Board’s appointment for as of the close of business
on June 21, 2024. On October 25, 2024, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Employee
Chief Executive Officer (the “Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement”) with GB Capital Ltd, a British Colombia, Canada
corporation (“GB Capital”) wholly owned by Mr. Bensler. The Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement amended and
restated the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement between the Company and GB Capital for Non-Employee Chief
Executive Officer dated June 1, 2020 (the “Original GB Capital Consulting Agreement”). The Original GB Capital Consulting
Agreement was amended and restated again on June 21, 2024 pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for
Non-Employee Chief Executive Officer between the Company and GB Capital. Under the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, GB
Capital agreed to designate Mr. Graydon Bensler, Director of GB Capital, to perform the Services (as defined in the Second Amended
GB Capital Consulting Agreement).
Pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended GB
Capital Consulting Agreement, as consideration for Mr. Bensler’s services as non-employee Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
the Company would pay GB Capital a consultant fee of $250,000 per annum and certain bonuses. Upon execution of the Second Amended GB Capital
Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to GB Capital (such payments, the Bensler Sign-on Bonuses”):
(i) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (A) $100,000 of such bonus to be paid to GB Capital in cash and (B) $75,000 of such
bonus to be remitted to GB Capital in Series B Preferred Stock, with the cash equivalent of such shares of Series B Preferred
Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and GB Capital, and provided such issuance of Series B Preferred Stock
was approved by the Company’s stockholders. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award GB Capital a bonus at the end
of the applicable fiscal year in the amounts it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “GB Capital Annual
Bonus”), provided that GB Capital meets the Board’s performance objectives for GB Capital and GB Capital is engaged by the
Company for such fiscal year in full. The target of the Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Bensler Annual Consultant Fee. For the
avoidance of doubt, the first fiscal year for which the Company will consider whether GB Capital qualifies for the GB Capital Annual Bonus
is the fiscal year in which the Effective Date falls. Pursuant to the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, the Company shall
also pay GB Capital in the first fiscal quarter of 2026 a bonus in the amount of $60,000 if the Company has a positive adjusted Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) in 2025. Subject to the terms of the Second Amended GB Capital
Consulting Agreement, GB Capital is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments (collectively, the “GB Capital Milestone
Bonuses”). Such GB Capital Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of the following events, at which time the Company
shall remit the applicable Milestone Bonuses to GB Capital as follows:
(i)
the Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 for each Company acquisition consummated, provided the target company of such acquisition has $2,000,000 in annual revenue or more upon consummation of such acquisition;
(ii)
the Company shall pay GB Capital $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies GB Capital for such payment, the “GB Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “GB Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital is entitled only to a one-time payment of the GB Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as an Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the GB Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company);
(iii)
if and when the Company achieves each of the targeted EBITDA amounts in one fiscal quarter, as set forth in this Section 1(e)(iii) (each of such amounts, “EBITDA Milestone”), the Company shall pay GB Capital a fee equal to 25% of the applicable EBITDA Milestone (such fee, the “EBITDA Milestone Bonus”: (A) $50,000; (B) $150,000; (C) $250,000; (D) $350,000. For the avoidance of doubt, GB Capital may only receive a one-time payment of the EBITDA Milestone Bonus in each fiscal quarter, upon the Company’s achievement of the applicable EBITDA Milestone, and the Company will not make further payments to GB Capital as the EBITDA Milestone Bonus even upon achievement of an EBITDA Milestone in the same fiscal quarter which value exceeds the value of the first EBITDA Milestone GB Capital has achieved in such fiscal quarter; and
(iv)
the Company shall pay GB Capital $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined in the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement) of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least 5 consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement).
66
Additionally, GB Capital may elect to accrue the
GB Capital Milestone Bonuses and convert the cash amount of the Bensler Milestone Bonus into shares of the Company’s Common Stock
or preferred stock. In such event, the conversion ratio of the Bensler Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between
the Company and GB Capital.
On October 25, 2024, the Company entered
into the Amendment to the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement which stipulated that the Company’s issuances of Series B
Preferred Stock to GB Capital as the Bensler Sign-on Bonuses, were subject to stockholder approval.
On April 3, 2025, the Company entered into Amendment
No. 2 to the Second Amended GB Capital Consulting Agreement, which amended and restated paragraph 1e of Exhibit B of the Second Amended
GB Capital Consulting Agreement, to include the following:
“e. Milestone - based
Cash Bonuses . Upon the occurrence of the following events, the Company shall remit the applicable cash bonuses to the Consultant as
set forth in this Section 1(e) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1(e):

in annual revenue or more upon consummation of such acquisition;
(ii) The Company
shall pay the Consultant $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net proceeds
being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies the Consultant for such payment, the “Triggering
Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Consultant is entitled
only to a one-time payment of the Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as
an Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings
subsequent to the Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings
for the same equity financing round subsequent to the Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds
of $3,000,000 or more to the Company.

the Company achieves each of the targeted EBITDA amounts in one fiscal quarter, as set forth in this Section 1(e)(iii) (each of such amounts,

the “EBITDA Milestone Bonus”: (A) $50,000; (B) $150,000; (C) $250,000; (D) $350,000. For the avoidance of doubt, the Consultant
may only receive a one-time payment of the EBITDA Milestone Bonus in each fiscal quarter, upon the Company’s achievement of the
applicable EBITDA Milestone, and the Company will not make further payments to the Consultant as the EBITDA Milestone Bonus even upon
achievement of an EBITDA Milestone in the same fiscal quarter which value exceeds the value of the first EBITDA Milestone the Consultant
has achieved in such fiscal quarter.
(iv) Company shall
pay the Consultant $50,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation (as defined below) of $5,000,000, $10,000,000, $15,000,000,
$20,000,000, and $25,000,000 (each of such payments, “Valuation Payment”); provided that each of such Market Valuations
continue for each at least five (5) consecutive Trading Days (as defined below), and provided further that the Company may only
recover any erroneously awarded amounts in Valuation Payments for one (1) year following the date of such erroneous award.
(v) The Company
shall pay the Consultant $600,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that
each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least 5 consecutive Trading Days.
67
(vi) In any calendar
year, the Company shall remit the Consultant a one-time payment of $300,000 upon the Company’s achievement of its first positive
EBITDA of $2,000,000 for such calendar year.
(vii) The Board,
in its sole discretion, may award a cash or equity bonus payment (“Licensing Milestone Bonus”) to the Consultant upon the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ (as defined below) entry into a license agreement which provides for either: (A) the Company
or Subsidiary’s license of any intellectual property rights of the Company or Subsidiary to another party, including the license
of intellectual property rights of the Company or Subsidiary to each other; or (B) a third party’s license of intellectual property
rights to the Company or Subsidiary; provided, however , that if the Board determines to award the Licensing Milestone Bonus to
the Consultant in the form of preferred stock, such preferred stock issuance is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
(viii) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Second A&R Agreement, the Consultant may elect to accrue the payments due to the Consultant under
Section 1(e) of this Exhibit B (each, a “Milestone Bonus”) convert the cash amount of the Milestone Bonus into shares of the
Company’s common stock or preferred stock. In such event, the conversion ratio of the Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual
agreement between the Company and the Consultant, provided, however , that if the Consultant determines to receive the Milestone
Bonus payment in the form of preferred stock, the Milestone Bonus payment is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.”

Consulting Agreement further clarified that the equity grants made to GB Capital under Section 2 of Exhibit B of the GB Consulting Agreement,
if determined by the Board to be in the form of preferred stock, is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

to GB Capital on the consummation of any acquisition of (i) an entity, (ii) assets, or (iii) capital stock by the Company or any Subsidiary
(as defined below). The amount of the Acquisition Award will be calculated based on the total purchase price of the consummated acquisition,
regardless of whether or not such purchase price is paid in cash, stock, assumed debt, or other consideration (such purchase price, the
“Acquisition Value”), and will be determined as follows:
●
Acquisition Value from $0 to $5,000,000 – GB Capital is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 5% of the Acquisition Value;
●
Acquisition Value over $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 – GB Capital is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 6% of the Acquisition Value;
●
Acquisition Value over $10,000,000 to $20,000,000 – GB Capital is entitled to an Acquisition Award of 7% of the Acquisition Value; and

Compensation Committee deems the applicable acquisition as an advancement to the Company’s long-term growth objectives, competitive

(x) the dollar value of the Acquisition Award divided by (y) the trailing five (5) day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s
Common Stock ending on the trading day prior to the acquisition closing date (such RSU Award Amount rounded down to the nearest whole
share). The RSUs or restricted stock granted to GB Capital will be fully vested and shall not be subject to any further service or performance
conditions.
Acquisition Awards may, at the Board’s discretion
and in compliance with applicable law, be issued directly to GB Capital or any other designated entity of GB Capital. All such Acquisition
Awards shall be subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of the Company’s then-effective equity incentive plan or other
applicable grant policy.

$55,500 in compensation for their services to the Company as independent directors. The Company’s current independent directors
are paid this annual compensation on a quarterly basis, or $13,875 at each fiscal quarter’s end.
We previously compensated our independent directors
for their services as directors through a mix of cash and stock options. In addition to in-person attendance bonuses, we intend to reimburse
our non-employee directors for reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board and Board committee
meetings.
Equity Incentive Awards
The Company has historically granted stock options
to its employees, including its executive officers, under the Amended 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (“2020 Plan”).
On September 15, 2025 (the “2025 Plan Effective
Date”), the 2025 Plan became effective.
As of the 2025 Plan Effective Date, the 2025 Plan
superseded the 2020 Plan, and any shares of Common Stock underlying awards already made under the 2020 Plan will be issued from the 2025
Plan. On the Plan Effective Date, (i) outstanding awards made under the 2020 Plan will remain outstanding, and such awards will remain
subject to the original award terms; and (ii) shares subject to any outstanding awards made under the 2020 Plan will be administered from
the share reserve of the 2025 Plan. The 2025 Plan is filed herein as Exhibit 10.1.
The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to attract and retain the best available
personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to employees, directors and consultants, and to
promote the success of our business. The administrator of the 2025 Plan (the “Administrator”) may, in its sole discretion,
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the 2025 Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. We will obtain stockholder approval
of any 2025 Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with legal and regulatory requirements relating to the administration
of equity-based awards. Unless earlier terminated by the Administrator, the 2025 Plan will terminate ten years after the 2025 Plan Effective
Date.
Any capitalized terms used in this “2025
Equity Incentive Plan” subsection and not otherwise defined herein have the meaning given to that term in the 2025 Plan.
70
Authorized Shares
Initially, the maximum number of shares of our
Common Stock that may be subject to awards under the 2025 Plan is 169,281, or 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock
as of the 2025 Plan Effective Date. Subject to adjustment upon dividends or other distributions, recapitalizations, stock splits, reorganizations,
merger, consolidations, split-ups, spin-offs, combinations, changes in control, repurchases or exchange of Shares or other securities
of the Company as provided in Section 12 of the 2025 Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under
the 2025 Plan will be (i) no less than twenty five percent (25%) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the 2025 Plan
Effective Date; (ii) on January 1 of each calendar year after the 2025 Plan Effective Date, will automatically increase by an amount equal
to the lesser of: (A) ten percent (10%) of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of January 1 of the applicable calendar
year; and (B) such lesser amount as determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.
Additionally, if an Award expires or becomes unexercisable
without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an exchange program, or, with respect to restricted stock, is forfeited
to or repurchased by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares of Common Stock (or for Awards other than Options
the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the 2025 Plan (unless
the 2025 Plan has terminated). Shares of Common Stock that have actually been issued under the 2025 Plan under any Award will not be returned
to the 2025 Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the 2025 Plan; provided, however, that if shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company due to the failure
to vest or upon certain events, such shares of Common Stock will become available for future grant under the 2025 Plan. Shares of Common
Stock used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available
for future grant or sale under the 2025 Plan. To the extent an Award under the 2025 Plan is paid out in cash rather than shares of Common
Stock, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2025 Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that
may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate number of shares reserved and issuable under the 2025
Plan, plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the
Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, any shares of Common Stock that become available for issuance under the 2025 Plan pursuant
to Section 3(b) of the 2025 Plan (shares of Common Stock which were subject to Awards which have: expired or becomes unexercisable without
having been exercised in full, surrendered pursuant to an exchange program, or with respect to restricted stock, is forfeited to or repurchased
by the Company due to the failure to vest, the unpurchased shares of Common Stock (or for Awards other than Options the forfeited or repurchased
Shares).
Plan Administration
The 2025 Plan will be administered by (i) the
Compensation Committee or (ii) the Board, if the Compensation Committee does not exist, and in any event, the administrator of the 2025
Plan shall administer the 2025 Plan in compliance with Applicable Laws. Subject to the provisions of the 2025 Plan, and in the case of
the Compensation Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to the Compensation Committee, the Administrator will
have the authority, in its discretion: (A) to determine the Fair Market Value; (B) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may
be granted under the 2025 Plan; (C) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted under the 2025 Plan; (D) to
approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the 2025 Plan; (E) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms
of the 2025 Plan, of any Award granted under the 2025 Plan, of which terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise
price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver
of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based
in each case on such factors as the Administrator will determine; (F) to institute and determine the terms and conditions of an Exchange
Program; (G) to construe and interpret the terms of the 2025 Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the 2025 Plan; (H) to prescribe, amend
and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2025 Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the
purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws or for qualifying for favorable tax treatment under applicable foreign laws; (I) to modify
or amend each Award (subject to the amendment and termination provisions of the 2025 Plan), including but not limited to, the discretionary
authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to the Option
term provisions set forth in the 2025 Plan; (J) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in a manner prescribed in
Section 13 of the 2025 Plan; (K) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant
of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; (L) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery
of shares of Common Stock that otherwise would be due to such Participant under an Award; and (M) to make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for administering the 2025 Plan. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations will be
final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.
71
“Fair Market Value” means as of any
date, the value of Common Stock determined as follows:
(i)
if the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or
a national market system, including without limitation The Nasdaq Global Select Market, The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Capital
Market of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, its Fair Market Value will be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no
sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system on the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or
such other source as the Administrator deems reliable;
(ii)
if the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of a Share will be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the day of determination (or, if no bids and asks were reported on that date, as applicable, on the last trading date such bids and asks were reported), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; and
(iii)
in the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value will be determined in good faith by the Administrator using one of the valuation methods set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(iv)(B)(2) of the Treasury Regulation. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.
Eligibility
Under the 2025 Plan, Non-statutory Stock Options,
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and other equity awards granted may be granted to Service Providers. Additionally, Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.
Stock Options
Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2025
Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Options in such amounts as the Administrator, in its sole discretion,
will determine. Each Award of an Option will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the
Option, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option, the exercise restrictions, if any, applicable to the Option, and such
other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement
as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-statutory Stock Option. Notwithstanding such designation, however, to the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first
time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Non-statutory Stock Options.
The term of each Option will be stated in the
Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term will be no more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than
ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the
Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. The
terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel
outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the
original Option, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law or the listing rules of Nasdaq.
72
The per share exercise price for the shares of
Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, but will be no less than one
hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. As to an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee
who owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary,
the per share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
Options may be granted with a per share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Code Section 424(a).
At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator
will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option
may be exercised. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time
of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Laws; (iv) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price
of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided further that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse
accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (v) consideration received by the Company
under cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the 2025 Plan; (vi)
by net exercise; (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law; or (viii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept,
the Administrator will consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.
Any Option granted under the 2025 Plan will be
exercisable according to the terms of the 2025 Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and
set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock.
Restricted Stock
Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2025
Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts
as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, will determine. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted
Stock until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. Except as provided in the 2025 Plan or as the Administrator determines, shares
of Restricted Stock may not be transferred until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction (as defined below). The Administrator,
in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate. Except
as otherwise provided in the 2025 Plan, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the 2025 Plan will
be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator
may determine. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. During
the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the 2025 Plan may exercise full voting rights
with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise.
“Period of Restriction” means the
period during which the transfer of shares of Restricted Stock are subject to restrictions and therefore, the shares of Common Stock are
subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Such restrictions may be based on the passage of time, the achievement of target levels of
performance, or the occurrence of other events as determined by the Administrator.
During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers
holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares,
unless the Administrator provides otherwise. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock, the shares of
Common Stock will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the shares of Restricted Stock with respect
to which they were paid. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will
revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the 2025 Plan.
73
Restricted Stock Units
Subject to the terms and provisions of the 2025
Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Service Providers in such amounts as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
will specify the terms, conditions, and restrictions (if any) related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.
The Administrator will set vesting criteria in
its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that
will be paid out to the Participant. A Restricted Stock Unit Award may vest upon completion of a specified period of service with the
Company or a Subsidiary and/or based on the achievement of certain performance goals during the applicable performance period, as set
forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement. If Restricted Stock Units vest based upon satisfaction of performance goals, then the
Administrator will: (x) determine the nature, length and starting date of any performance period for the Restricted Stock Units;
(y) select the performance goals to be used to measure the performance; and (z) determine what additional vesting conditions,
if any, should apply. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined
by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
award dividend equivalents in connection with the grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be settled in cash, in Shares of equivalent
value, or in some combination thereof. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made upon the date(s) determined by the Administrator
and set forth in the Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may only settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash,
Shares, or a combination of both. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all Shares underlying any unvested, unlapsed, unearned
Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company for future issuance.
Other Awards
Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part
by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock, including the appreciation in value thereof may be granted either alone or in addition
to the specified Awards provided for in the 2025 Plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2025 Plan, the Board will have sole and complete
discretion to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Awards will be granted, the number of shares of
Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such other Awards and all other terms and conditions of such other
Awards.
Non-transferability of Awards
Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator,
Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, or otherwise transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an
Award transferable, such Award may only be transferred (i) by will, (ii) by the laws of descent and distribution, or (iii) as permitted
by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Certain Adjustments
In the event that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares of Common Stock occurs, the
Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under
the 2025 Plan, the Company will adjust the number and class of shares of Common Stock that is reserved and issuable under the 2025 Plan
and/or the number, class, and price of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award.
74
Dissolution or Liquidation
In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.
To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
Merger or Change in Control
In the event of a merger or Change in Control
(as defined below), each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines (subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph) without a Participant’s consent including, without limitation, that: (i) Awards will be assumed, or substantially equivalent
Awards will be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) with appropriate adjustments as to the
number and kind of shares and prices; (ii) upon written notice to a Participant, that the Participant’s Awards will terminate upon
or immediately prior to the consummation of such merger or Change in Control; (iii) outstanding Awards will vest and become exercisable,
realizable, or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award will lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of such merger
or Change in Control, and, to the extent the Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such
merger or Change in Control; (iv) (A) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to
the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights as of the date
of the occurrence of the transaction (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction the Administrator
determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s
rights, then such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment), or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property
selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion; or (v) any combination of the foregoing. In taking any of the actions permitted
under this Section 12(c), the Administrator will not be obligated to treat all Awards, all Awards held by a Participant, or all Awards
of the same type, similarly.
In the event that the successor corporation does
not assume or substitute for the Award (or portion thereof), the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of
his or her outstanding Options, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions
on Restricted Stock will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria
will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option
is not assumed or substituted in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing
or electronically that the Option will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and
the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period.
An Award will be considered assumed if, following
the merger or Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior
to the merger or Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or
Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered
a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however,
that if such consideration received in the merger or Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its
Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise
of an Option, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair
market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or Change in Control.
Notwithstanding anything in Section 12(c) of the
2025 Plan to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not
be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent;
provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate
structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
75
Notwithstanding anything in Section 12(c) of the
2025 Plan to the contrary, if a payment under an Award Agreement is subject to Code Section 409A and if the change in control definition
contained in the Award Agreement does not comply with the definition of “change of control” for purposes of a distribution
under Code Section 409A, then any payment of an amount that is otherwise accelerated under this Section 12 will be delayed until the earliest
time that such payment would be permissible under Code Section 409A without triggering any penalties applicable under Code Section 409A.
“Change in Control” means any of the
following events:
(i)
A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than 50% of the total voting power of the stock of the Company, except that any change in the ownership of the stock of the Company as a result of a private financing of the Company that is approved by the Board will not be considered a Change in Control;
(ii)
If the Company has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, a change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change in Control; or
(iii)
A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions. For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
For purposes of the definition of Change in Control,
persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase
or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed
a Change in Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been
and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been
promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute
a Change in Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation; or (ii) its sole purpose
is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities
immediately before such transaction.
Treatment of Awards on Termination of Relationship
as a Service Provider
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator,
if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s termination as the result of the Participant’s
death or Disability, any unvested portion of any applicable Awards will be forfeited and shares of Common Stock covered by any vested
portion of the applicable Awards that have not been issued to the Participant or its designees, as applicable, pursuant to the exercise
or settlement thereof during the period beginning on the date of cessation of the Participant as a Service Provider until three (3) months
thereafter, will revert to the 2025 Plan. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the Service Provider is terminated for
Cause, any Award issued to such terminated Service Provider will be forfeited, regardless of any vested or unvested portion of such Award,
and in the case of such forfeiture, the Shares covered by the Award will revert to the 2025 Plan.
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator,
if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, (i) the vested portion of the Option
shall remain exercisable for the amount set forth in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the
Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), and if no time is specified in the Award Agreement, the vested portion of the Option shall
remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination, and (ii) the unvested portion shall remain exercisable
for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination due to Disability, and after such three (3) months the Shares underlying
the unvested portion of the Option will be forfeited and revert to the 2025 Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise
his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the
2025 Plan.
76
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator,
if a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement
(but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement) to the extent that the Option
is vested on the date of death, by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior
to the Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant,
then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option
is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of
a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s
termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire
Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the 2025 Plan. If the Option is not so exercised
within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the 2025 Plan.
Clawback
Awards will be subject to any Company clawback
policy that the Company is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which
the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
or other applicable laws. The administrator also may specify in an award agreement that the participant’s rights, payments or benefits
with respect to an award will be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified
events. The Administrator may require a participant to forfeit, return or reimburse the Company all or a portion of the Award or shares
issued under the Award, any amounts paid under the Award and any payments or proceeds paid or provided upon disposition of the shares
issued under the Award in order to comply with such clawback policy or Applicable Laws.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The 2025 Plan is, in part, is a qualified plan
for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is entitled to (i) withhold and deduct from future wages of the Participant, or
make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local
withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to a qualified stock option, including, without limitation, the grant,
exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, a qualified stock option or a disqualifying disposition of stock received
upon exercise of a qualified stock option, or (ii) require the Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company
before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock, with respect to a qualified stock option.
Amendment and Termination
The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend
or terminate the 2025 Plan. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable
to comply with Applicable Laws. Additionally, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval for each of the following: (i) increases to
the shares of Common Stock reserved and issuable under the 2025 Plan other than as set forth in Section 3(c)(ii) to 3(c)(iii) of the 2025
Plan (evergreen and adjustment provisions of the 2025 Plan); (ii) any changes to the applicable prices that a Participant may pay for
with regard to applicable Awards granted under the 2025 Plan, provided, however, that the terms of outstanding Awards may be amended without
shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding Options in exchange for cash, other
Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option; (iii) changes to the 2025 Plan
which would expand eligibility for Participant or potential Participants’ Awards; (iv) changes to the 2025 Plan which would materially
increase Participants’ or potential Participants’ benefits available under the 2025 Plan; and (v) changes to the 2025 Plan
which would expand the types of Awards provided under the 2025 Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2025 Plan, the terms
of outstanding Awards may be amended without shareholder approval to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options, or to cancel outstanding
Options in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Option
to the extent permitted by applicable law or the listing rules of the applicable trading market.
77
No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination
of the 2025 Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator,
which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the 2025 Plan will not affect the Administrator’s
ability to exercise the powers granted to it under the 2025 Plan with respect to Awards granted under the 2025 Plan prior to the date
of such termination.
As of December 31, 2025, no options to purchase
shares of Common Stock under the Plan were outstanding, and 7,752 shares were available for future grant. Each option granted under
the Plan will carry a term of no more than 10 years from the date of grant and the Plan will remain in effect until it is terminated by
the Board. The term and vesting periods for options granted under the Plan are determined by the Board. The summary does not contain a
complete description of all provisions of the 2025 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2025 Plan, a copy of which
is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Annual Report.
Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards
Our policies and practices regarding the granting
of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive
compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible
employees.
The timing of equity award grants is determined
with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market
conditions and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards; instead, each
grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of
our compensation packages.
In determining the timing and terms of an equity
award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance
with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent the improper use of
material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel and, where appropriate,
delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.
The Company is committed to maintaining transparency
in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure
of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Company regularly reviews its
policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve
the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial
Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth certain information
regarding the ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock as of March 30, 2026 by: (i) each director
and nominee for director; (ii) each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table; (iii) all executive officers
and directors of the Company as a group; and (iv) all those known by the Company to be beneficial owners of more than five percent
(5%) of its Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.
In general, under these rules a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract,
arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to such security. A
person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such security
within 60 days of March 30, 2026. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on information furnished to us, that the
persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares that they beneficially
own, subject to applicable community property laws.
Percentage ownership is based on 1,159,112 shares
of Common Stock and 6,372,874 shares of outstanding Series B Preferred Stock as of March 30, 2026.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence.
Our Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter,
is responsible for reviewing and approving related party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The Audit Committee
will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party
transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances
and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related
party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
The following is a summary of transactions entered
since January 1, 2024 to which we have been a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $109,308.19, which represents
1% of the average of our total assets amounts as of December 31, 2025 and 2024), and in which any of our directors, executive officers
or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing
persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control
and other arrangements, which are described under “ Executive and Director Compensation .” We also describe below certain
other transactions with our directors, executive officers and stockholders.

On July 25, 2025, the
Company entered into the GB Capital Secondment Agreement with GB Capital, pursuant to which GB Capital agreed to second certain of its
employees (each, a “GB Capital Employee” and, collectively, the “GB Capital Employees”), on an exclusive basis,
to the Company from time to time to provide certain services in accordance with the terms of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement. The
GB Capital Employees will remain employees of GB Capital during their respective periods of secondment (each, a “GB Capital Secondment
Period”) and will not be employees of the Company.
Under the GB Capital
Secondment Agreement, GB Capital shall pay each Employee’s salary, incentives, health and retirement benefits, and other applicable
compensation or benefits GB Capital Employee is entitled to as an employee of GB Capital. As consideration for GB Capital making GB Capital
Employees available to provide services during the GB Capital Secondment Period, the Company shall reimburse GB Capital on a monthly basis
based on (i) an agreed hourly rate set forth in Exhibit A of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement, multiplied by (ii) actual hours worked
by the GB Capital Employee. Except as otherwise set forth in the GB Capital Secondment Agreement, each party to the GB Capital Secondment
Agreement shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the GB Capital Secondment Agreement. However, if any extraordinary
costs or expenses not contemplated by the GB Capital Agreement arise in connection with the GB Capital Agreement, including travel and
expenses, the Company will reimburse GB Capital for such costs and expenses, provided that (i) the Company provided its written consent
prior to GB Capital’s incurrence of such costs and expenses, and (ii) such costs and expenses are documented to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Company.
Pursuant to the terms
of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement, each GB Capital Employee will provide services to the Company as agreed between the parties up
to the number of hours per week specified in Exhibit A. Further, each GB Capital Employee shall provide services at the Company’s
principal place of business or such other place as the parties may agree. The Company has full and exclusive responsibility for each GB
Capital Employee’s actions performed in service to the Company during the GB Capital Secondment Period.
80
The Company may terminate
the services provided by any GB Capital Employee at any time by providing at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice of termination
to GB Capital, provided that the Company may terminate any GB Capital Employee’s secondment at any time, without advance notice,
in the event of the GB Capital Employee’s misconduct, violation of the Company’s policies, or any conduct that the Company
reasonably determines may be detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company. Upon the termination of any GB Capital Employee’s
employment with GB Capital, any GB Capital Employee’s services to the Company will also terminate, and if such employment with GB
Capital is terminated, GB Capital shall provide notice of the same to the Company no later than the close of business on the same day
such termination becomes effective. GB Capital may terminate the GB Capital Secondment Agreement by providing at least 90 days’
written notice of termination to the Company. The Company may terminate the GB Capital Secondment Agreement by providing at least 30 days’
written notice of termination to GB Capital. The GB Capital Secondment Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 10 days’
written notice if the other party breaches or is in default of any provision of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement and does not cure
such breach or default within such 10 day period, with such notice to be made and delivered to the addresses as provided by the applicable
party.
The foregoing summary
of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text
of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.15 herein.
On October 16, 2025, the Company entered into

The effective date of the GB Capital Secondment Agreement was amended to October 16, 2025.

Amendment No. 1 to the GB Capital Secondment Agreement also added terms to Section 4 providing for: GB Capital Seconded Employees’s eligibility to participate in the Company’s group health plans on the same terms as similarly situated employees; and GB Capital’s proposal of milestone-driven bonuses or incentive payments for GB Capital Seconded Employees, subject to the Company’s prior written approval.

full force and effect. The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 1 to the GB Capital Secondment Agreement does not purport to be complete

with Northstrive Companies Inc., a California corporation (“Northstrive”) owned and managed by Braeden Lichti. Pursuant to
the Northstrive Consulting Agreement, Northstrive is to assist us in a variety of business matters, including assistance in our overall
investor outreach and communications strategy, and advising us on becoming a “public” company. As of December
31, 2025, the Company had $324,736 due to Northstrive. We retained the option, but not the obligation to issue the amount of Compensation
due Northstrive in shares of our Common Stock equal to our series A preferred stock price at $1.34138 per share (pre 200:1 stock consolidation,
pre 1-for-7 reverse stock split, pre 1-for-3.5 reverse stock split) equal to the value of the Compensation due to Northstrive for services
provided through and up to March 31, 2023 and $3.00 per share (pre 200:1 stock consolidation, pre 1-for-7 split, and pre 1-for-3.5
Split). On June 21, 2024, we entered into the Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement with Northstrive (the “First Amended
Northstrive Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Lichti would serve as non-executive Chairman of the Company. As consideration
for his services as non-executive Chairman, the Company agreed to pay Northstrive $16,000 per month. For the fiscal year ended December 31,
2025, we paid Northstrive $328,800 under the Northstrive Consulting Agreement. The First Amended Northstrive Consulting Agreement was
filed as Exhibit 10.13 in the Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2025 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On October 25, 2024, the Company entered
into the Second Amended and Restated Consulting Agreement for Non-Executive Chairman (the “Second Amended Northstrive Companies
Consulting Agreement”) with Northstrive. The Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement provided that, as consideration
for Mr. Lichti’s provision of his services as non-executive Chairman, as set forth more fully in such agreement, the Company
would compensate Northstrive as such: (i) an annual consultant fee of $300,000 per annum (the “Lichti Annual Consultant Fee”),
1/12 of which Lichti Annual Consultant Fee will be paid to Northstrive once per calendar month (“Northstrive Payment Cycle”),
provided that Northstrive performs the Services required to be performed in each Northstrive Payment Cycle. The Company agreed that upon
execution of the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, the Company would make the following payments to Northstrive
(such payments, the “Northstrive Sign-on Bonuses”): (A) a one-time bonus of $175,000, with (I) $100,000 of such
bonus to be paid to Northstrive in cash and (II) $75,000 of such bonus to be remitted to Northstrive in Series B Preferred Stock,
with the cash equivalent of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be determined by mutual agreement of the Company and Northstrive;
and (B) 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In the Board’s sole discretion, it may also award Northstrive a bonus
at the end of the applicable fiscal year in the amounts it determines in its sole discretion (each of such bonuses, the “Northstrive
Annual Bonus”), provided that Northstrive meets the Board’s performance objectives for Northstrive and Northstrive is engaged
by the Company for such fiscal year in full. The target of the Northstrive Annual Bonus is 125% or greater of the Lichti Annual Consultant
Fee.
Subject to the terms of the Second Amended Northstrive
Companies Consulting Agreement, Northstrive is also entitled to each of the following bonus payments (collectively, the “Northstrive
Milestone Bonuses”). Such Northstrive Milestone Bonuses are payable upon the occurrence of the following events, at which time the
Company shall remit the applicable Northstrive Milestone Bonuses to Northstrive as follows:
(i)
The Company shall pay Northstrive $150,000 for each Company acquisition consummated, provided that the target company of such acquisition has $2,000,000 in annual revenue or more upon consummation of the acquisition.
82
(ii)
The Company shall pay Northstrive $50,000 upon any closing of an equity or equity-linked financing of the Company which results in net proceeds being raised in such financing of $3,000,000 in a fiscal quarter (the closing which qualifies Northstrive for such payment, the “Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing,” and such payment, the “Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus”). For the avoidance of doubt, Northstrive is entitled only to a one-time payment of the Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus $50,000 per fiscal quarter and the Company will not make further payments as a Northstrive Equity Financing Bonus in spite of the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) the closing of any equity or equity-linked financings subsequent to the Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in proceeds of $3,000,000 to the Company; (B) any closings for the same equity financing round subsequent to the Northstrive Triggering Equity Financing in such fiscal quarter which result in additional proceeds of $3,000,000 or more to the Company.

The Company shall pay Northstrive $300,000 each time the Company achieves a Market Valuation of $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, provided that each of such Market Valuations continues for each at least two (2) consecutive Trading Days.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated
in the Second Amended Northstrive Companies Consulting Agreement, Northstrive may elect to accrue the Northstrive Milestone Bonuses and
convert the cash amount of the Northstrive Milestone Bonus into shares of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock. In such
event, the conversion ratio of the Northstrive Milestone Bonus shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and Northstrive.

in whole or in part, at such time by means of a cashless exercise, under which cashless exercise the Holder is entitled to receive a number
of Warrant Shares under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to adjustment for
stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, and similar capital transactions or such other event as further described in the Pre-Funded

Consolidated Financial Statements of
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.)
For the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
F- 1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Audit Committee and Shareholders of
PMGC Holdings Inc.
Opinion on The Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of PMGC Holdings, Inc (formerly Elevai Labs, Inc) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and
2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash
flows for the years ended, December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company
as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025
and 2024, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements the Company has
suffered recurring losses from operations and has cash flows used in operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”)
and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatements of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
1.
Organization and nature of operations
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai
Labs Inc.) (“PMGC”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 9, 2020 . During 2024, PMGC completed
a reorganization that included a name change and redomiciling from Delaware to Nevada. PMGC and its 100 % owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research
Inc. (formerly Elevai Research Inc) (“PMGC Research”), PMGC Impasse Corp (formerly Elevai Skincare Inc.), Northstrive Biosciences
Inc. (formerly Elevai Biosciences, Inc), PMGC Capital LLC, Pacific Sun Packaging Inc.(“Pacific Sun”) and AGA Precision Systems
LLC (“AGA”), are collectively referred to in these consolidated financial statements as “the Company.”
On April 29, 2024, PMGC Impasse Corp
(“Skincare”) and Northstrive Biosciences Inc. (“BioSciences”) were incorporated under the laws of the state of
Delaware. PMGC is the sole shareholder of Skincare and BioSciences. The purpose of Skincare is to operate the Company’s skincare
business, while the purpose of BioSciences is to hold and develop the Company’s intellectual property. Effective May 1, 2024, PMGC
transferred its operating assets and liabilities relating to its skincare business to Skincare in exchange for common stock of Skincare.
On November 13, 2024, PMGC Capital LLC (“PMGC Capital”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, PMGC is the
sole shareholder of PMGC Capital.
On November 27, 2024, the Company completed
a reverse stock split on a ratio of two hundred old shares of common stock for every one new post reverse split share of common stock.
On March 10, 2025, the Company completed a second reverse stock split on a ratio of seven (7) shares of common stock for every one new
post second reverse split common stock. On September 2, 2025, the Company completed a third reverse stock split of its common stock on
a ratio of 3.5 common stock for every one new post third reverse split common stock. On January 6, 2026, the Company completed a fourth
reverse stock split of its common stock on a ratio of 4 common stock for every one new post fourth reverse split common stock. On March
10, 2026, the Company completed a fifth reverse stock split of its common stock on a ratio of 6 common stock for every one new post fourth
reverse split common stock. 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-117,600.
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 the skincare business
closed on January 16, 2025. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 “Discontinued Operations”,
the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the skincare business have been presented in these consolidated financial
statements as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. The Company also retrospectively adjusted the audited
consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and year ended December 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 its 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.
As part of its diversification and
growth strategy, the Company completed the following acquisitions during the fiscal year 2025:
● On
July 7, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Pacific Sun Packaging Inc., a California-based
custom IT packaging company (Note 5).
● On
July 18, 2025, the Company acquired AGA Precision Systems LLC, a California-based CNC machining
company (Note 5).

2.
Going Concern
These audited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its
liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial
support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately
the attainment of profitable operations.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the
Company had a net working capital of $ 2,928,959 and $ 4,251,867 , respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $ 21,017,440 and $ 13,269,627 ,
respectively. Furthermore, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $ 7,747,813 and $ 6,245,737 ,
respectively and used $ 5,933,881 and $ 5,486,980 , respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial
doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These audited consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The assessment of whether the going
concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least,
but not limited to, twelve (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.
F- 8
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
Management’s plans that alleviate
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include: (a) raising additional debt or equity financing
and (b) 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements
of the Company have been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and
transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.
This summary of significant accounting
policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated
financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of PMGC and its 100 % owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research (until dissolution on November 12, 2025), Skincare, BioSciences,
PMGC Capital, Pacific Sun and AGA. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue
recognition, the collectability of receivables, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative liabilities and stock options, useful
lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and
assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs
and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and
adversely from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the
consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “Emerging Growth
Company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as modified
by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it has taken advantage of certain exemptions that
are not applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements
of holding anon binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved.
F- 9
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
Further, Section 102(b) (1) of the
JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private
companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities
registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial reporting standards. The JOBS Act provides
that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth
companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.
The Company has elected not to opt
out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates
for public and private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private
companies adopt the new or revised standard.
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).
Business Combinations
The Company accounts for business combinations
using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under this method, the purchase consideration
transferred is measured at fair value on the acquisition date and allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair values. Any excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired
is recorded as goodwill.
Acquisition-related costs (such as
legal, due diligence, and advisory fees) are expensed as incurred and presented within general and administrative expenses in the consolidated
statements of operations.
Contingent consideration, if any, is
recorded at fair value on the acquisition date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized
in earnings in accordance with ASC 805-30-35 and ASC 450, Contingencies.
During the fiscal year of 2025, the
Company completed three acquisitions—Pacific Sun Packaging Inc., AGA Precision Systems LLC and Indarg Engineering Inc.—which
were accounted for under ASC 805. The initial purchase price allocations are preliminary and subject to adjustment upon completion of
final valuation analyses (Note 5).
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill arising from business
combinations represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not
amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may
not be recoverable, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
F- 10
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
Goodwill recognized from the 2025 acquisitions
primarily reflects expected synergies, operational efficiencies, workforce know-how, and future growth opportunities within the Company’s
manufacturing segment.
Identifiable intangible assets acquired
in business combinations are recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives.
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 Company’s current classes
and estimated useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:
Intangible asset Estimated useful life
Customer relationship 12 to 15 years
Brand 5 years
Backlog 1 year
License #2 – MOA IPR&D project not yet complete
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance
with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when control of promised goods or services is transferred to customers in
an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company’s revenue is derived from (i)
the sale of standard IT packaging products through Pacific Sun Packaging Inc. and (ii) CNC machining and precision manufacturing services
through AGA Precision Systems LLC. Contracts with customers are generally established through customer purchase orders, which specify
product or service details, pricing, and payment terms, typically due within 30 to 60 days.
For both revenue streams, each contract
contains a single performance obligation, consisting of either the delivery of finished goods or the delivery of completed machined parts.
Activities such as design, setup, tooling, and production processes are not distinct and are considered inputs into a single combined
output. Accordingly, the entire transaction price, which is generally a fixed amount based on agreed-upon unit pricing and quantities,
is allocated to the single performance obligation. The Company does not generally enter into arrangements with multiple performance obligations
or significant financing components. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is typically
upon shipment under FOB shipping point terms or, in limited cases, upon delivery where shipping terms require.
The Company evaluates whether it acts
as a principal or agent for each revenue stream. For both packaging product sales and precision manufacturing services, the Company acts
as the principal because it controls the goods or services prior to transfer, bears inventory and production risk, and has primary responsibility
for fulfillment. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis.
AGA assesses variable consideration,
including expected returns, rejections, and credits, at contract inception and throughout the contract term in accordance with ASC 606.
Customers may reject non-conforming parts, which are typically reworked, replaced, or credited. The Company estimates expected returns
based on historical experience and records a reduction of revenue, along with a corresponding refund liability and return asset, as applicable.
Such amounts have historically not been material.
AGA provides assurance-type warranties
that products conform to customer specifications. These warranties do not represent separate performance obligations and are accounted
for under ASC 460. The Company evaluates the need for a warranty reserve based on historical experience; however, warranty-related costs
have not been material. Warranty coverage is limited to defects in conformance and excludes misuse or modifications, and the Company’s
liability is limited to the contract amount.
Pacific Sun evaluates variable consideration,
including expected returns and credits, at contract inception and throughout the contract term in accordance with ASC 606. Customers
may receive replacements or credits for defective or incorrect products; however, general return rights are not provided. The Company
estimates expected returns based on historical experience and records a reduction of revenue, along with a corresponding refund liability
and return asset, as applicable. Such amounts have not been material for the periods presented.
F- 11
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
Pacific Sun does not provide formal
warranty programs. Defective products are addressed through replacement or credit and are accounted for as variable consideration under
ASC 606. Related amounts have not been material for the periods presented.
Inventory
Inventory entirely consists of IT
packaging purchased and sold by Pacific Sun as finished goods and parts for machining purchased by AGA as raw materials. Inventory
is stated at the lower cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the First in First out (FIFO) method. Net realizable
value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less the estimated selling expenses. To assess the need for an
allowance due to obsolescence or a decline in net realizable value, management evaluates inventory aging in conjunction with
expected future sales and compares the cost of inventory to its net realizable value. If the carrying amount exceeds net realizable
value; an allowance is recorded to write down the inventory to its estimated net realizable value.
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. These investments
are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in
earnings. Publicly traded 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.
Investments in securities also include
private company stock. The Company has elected to account for investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values
at cost minus impairment, if any, as permitted under ASC 321 “Investments – Equity Securities”. However, if the Company
identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, the Company
shall measure the investment in equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. At each reporting
period, the Company makes a qualitative assessment considering impairment indicators to evaluate whether each equity investment without
readily determinable fair value is impaired. Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, the following:
● A
significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business
prospects of the investee;
● A
significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the
investee;
● A
significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area
or the industry in which the investee operates;
● A
bona fide offer to purchase, an offer by the investee to sell, or a completed auction process
for the same or similar investment for an amount less than the carrying amount of that investment;
● Factors
that raise significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern,
such as negative cash flows from operations, working capital deficiencies, or noncompliance
with statutory capital requirements or debt covenants.
If equity security without a readily
determinable fair value is deemed to be impaired based on the qualitative factors, the Company will estimate the fair value of the investment
to determine the amount of the impairment loss, if any. No impairment loss related to such securities was recognized during the
year ended December 31, 2025.
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 consolidated balance sheet.

Discontinued Operations, and Assets
and Liabilities Held for Sale
The Company classify long-lived assets,
or disposal groups comprised of assets and liabilities, as held for sale in the period in which the following six criteria are met, (i)
management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the group of assets and liabilities; (ii) the assets
and liabilities are available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii)
an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale is probable
and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in
relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant
changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”)
360, Property, Plant and Equipment. A business classified as held for sale is recorded at the lower of its carrying amount or estimated
fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized.
Assets and liabilities related to a business classified as held for sale are segregated in the current and prior balance sheets in the
period in which the business is classified as held for sale, resulting in changes to the presentation of certain prior period amounts.
The Company ceases depreciation and amortization on long-lived assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale and measures them
at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
The Company reports the results of
operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect
on the Company’s operations and financial results when the business is classified as held for sale, in accordance with ASC 360,
and ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. Under ASC 360, assets may be classified as held
for sale even though discontinued operations classification is not met. The results of discontinued operations are reported in Net loss
from discontinued operations, net of tax in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for current
and prior periods, including any gain or loss recognized on closing or adjustment of the carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell.
All other notes to these consolidated financial statements present the results of continuing operations and exclude amounts related to
discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are
expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. The Company incurs research and development costs in the pursuit
of new products and improving the formulation of existing products. Examples of research costs include laboratory research, studies,
surveys, and other activities aimed at acquiring new knowledge. Development costs include expenses incurred in the process of applying
research findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for a new product or process. Examples of development costs include engineering,
design, testing, and other activities aimed at developing a product or process for commercial production.
Development costs may be capitalized
if the following criteria are met: (1) technological feasibility has been established, (2) the Company intends to complete the product
or process. (3) the Company has the ability to use or sell the product or process, (4) the product or process will generate future economic
benefits, and (5) the costs can be reliably measured.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the
Company has not capitalized any development cost.
Marketing and Promotion
Costs associated with marketing and
promoting the Company’s products are expensed when incurred.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in
accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. We determine if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease at inception of the contract.
Leases are classified as either operating or finance leases. All of the Company’s leases have been assessed as operating leases.
Accounting for operating leases, other than short term leases, results in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating
lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
ROU assets represent our right to use
an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the
lease term. As our lease do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest
for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes
any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is
reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes
using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides
that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequence of temporary differences between
the financial reporting and taxes basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income
tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that it believes more
likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including
future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income tax planning, strategies and results of recent
operations. If the Company determines that such deferred tax assets will be recognized in the future in excess of the net recorded amount,
then the deferred tax asset valuation will be adjusted which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Significant judgments and estimates
are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $ 30,972
deferred tax liabilities and $ nil , respectively. In addition, the Company recorded $ 30,972 tax expense during the year ended December
31, 2025.
The Company records uncertain tax provisions
in accordance with ASC 740 based on a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made about whether it is more likely than not that
the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more
likely than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to
be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the
Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related
to uncertain tax positions in office and administrative expense. The Company did not incur any penalties or interest during the years
ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Cash, receivables, other receivables
and refundable deposits are the only financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk. The Company places its cash in
what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Receivables relate to the timing differences in receiving proceeds from
sales transactions processed through on customers’ credit. Refundable deposits relate to the Company’s security deposit on
lease agreements.

Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is subject to risks from,
among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, regulatory environment, other risks associated with financing,
liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility
of public markets.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of
the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved
when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against
the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits
of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency
indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated
liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material
loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent
liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies
considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be
disclosed.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and cash
in demand deposits. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December
31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.
Receivables
All receivables under standard terms
are due thirty (30) days from the date billed. If the funds are not received within thirty (30) days, the customer is contacted to arrange
payment. The Company uses the allowance for credit losses method to account for uncollectable receivables. As of December 31, 2025 and
2024, there was no allowance for credit losses related to receivables recorded. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company
wrote off $ 55,380 of trade receivables deemed uncollectible.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at
cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of assets are capitalized. Expenditure on
maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method. The estimated
useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:
Machinery equipment 7 -year straight-line
Furniture and office equipment 5 -year straight-line
Computers 3 -year straight-line
Leasehold improvement Depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining lease term
The Company ceases to depreciate property
and equipment on the date that it is reclassified to assets held for sale.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets
such as equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, a loss is recognized for the
excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.
The Company’s policy for long-lived
assets requires judgement in determining whether the present value of future expected economic benefits exceeds capitalized costs. The
policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future economic benefits related to its operations. Estimates
and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of capitalized
cost is unlikely, the capitalized cost is written off/impaired to the consolidated statement of operations.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative
instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments,
including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded
derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded
at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statement
of operations. For derivative instruments that qualify for equity classification under ASC 815-40 are recorded in stockholders’
equity at fair value on the issuance date and are not subsequently remeasured, unless reclassification is required due to changes in
facts and circumstances. The Company reassesses the classification of derivative instruments at each reporting date. The Company uses
the Black-Scholes or Binomial option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates, generally
applying the Black-Scholes model for instruments with standard terms and the Binomial model for instruments that include more complex
features, such as variable settlement provisions, early exercise features, or path-dependent assumptions. The classification of derivative
instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting
period.

Common Stock Warrants
The Company classifies as equity any
warrants that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement
or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any warrants
that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is
outside the Company’s control), (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or (iii) that contain reset provisions
that do not qualify for the scope exception. The Company assesses classification of its common stock warrants at each reporting date
to determine whether a change in classification is required. Warrants classified as liabilities are initially recorded at fair value,
with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other income (expenses) in the consolidated statements of operations
at each period end while such instruments remain outstanding.
Financial Instruments and Fair Value
Measurements
The Company analyzes all financial
instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC
815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC 825, “Financial
Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that
enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables
and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short
period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities
for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities
for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar
assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally
from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities
for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the
assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial instruments
consist of cash, trade and other receivables, investment in securities, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to related
parties, consideration payable, promissory notes payable, convertible debt, and derivative liabilities. Except for cash, investment in
securities, and derivative liabilities, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values
due to their short-term nature. Cash is measured and recognized at fair value based on Level 1 input for all periods presented. Investment
in securities is measured and recognized at fair value based on Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs as at December 31, 2025. Derivative
liabilities are measured and recognized at fair value based on Level 3 inputs.

Loss per Share
The Company computes net income (loss)
per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings
per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted
EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible
preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining
the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potential shares
if their effect is anti-dilutive.
The Company’s stock options and
warrants outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, are considered potential common shares that could dilute earnings
per share but were not included in the diluted loss per share computation because their effect was antidilutive for the periods presented.
As a result, there is no difference between the computation of basic and diluted loss per shares for the periods presented.
Share-Based Compensation
Employees - The Company accounts
for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee
stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the consolidated
statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Nonemployees - During June 2018,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting
for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. Under the requirements
of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such
compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date) and recognized in the statement
of operations over the requisite service period.
During the years ended December 31,
2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $( 19,160 ) and $ 97,167 , respectively, in share-based compensation expense, of which $ 60,440 and $( 79,600 )
and $ 93,449 and $ 3,718 , respectively is included in office and administration and discontinued operations, respectively. Within discontinued
operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, $( 73,768 ) and $( 5,832 ), and ($ 599 ) and $ 4,317 , respectively is included in
office and administration and research and development, respectively.

(Expressed in United States dollars)
Determining the appropriate fair value
model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 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.
Convertible debentures
The Company accounts for convertible
debentures in accordance with ASC 470, Debt . Convertible debentures are recorded at face value less unamortized issuance costs,
assuming the conversion feature does not meet the requirements for bifurcation.
If the conversion feature does not
meet the requirements to be classified as equity, it is bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative liability under ASC 815,
Derivatives and Hedging , and measured at fair value, with subsequent changes recognized in earnings. If the conversion feature
meets the equity classification criteria, no separate accounting for the conversion feature is required, and the entire instrument is
classified as a liability.
Interest expense is recognized using
the effective interest method, which includes the amortization of any debt issuance costs and discounts or premiums.
Debt Modifications and Extinguishments
The Company evaluates modifications
to convertible debt instruments in accordance with ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments.
A modification is deemed to be substantial
if:
● The
present value of the cash flows under the terms of the modified debt differs by at least
10% from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the original debt terms, using
the original effective interest rate (the “10% Test”); or
● The
modification results in a change in the embedded conversion option that requires re-evaluation
under ASC 815.
If the modification is determined to
be substantial, the original debt is extinguished, and the modified instrument is accounted for as a new debt issuance.
The Company also assesses whether a
modification constitutes a troubled debt restructuring under ASC 470-60. A restructuring is considered troubled if the Company is experiencing
financial difficulty and the creditor has granted a concession.
For modifications that are not substantial,
the Company accounts for the changes prospectively, adjusting the effective interest rate to reflect the revised cash flows. In evaluating
convertible debt where the conversion option is bifurcated as a derivative liability before and after the modification, the 10 % cash
flow test is applied to the host debt instrument (without the conversion feature). Any change in fair value of the bifurcated conversion
option is recognized in earnings.

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.
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.
In December 2023, the FASB issued “ASU
2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”) which amends the
Codification to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires additional disaggregation
of the reconciliation between the statutory and effective tax rate for an entity and of income taxes paid, both of which are disclosures
required by current GAAP. The amendments improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and
greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments
in ASU 2023-09 apply to all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU
2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU prospectively for the period
ending December 31, 2025, the effect being only related to our disclosures with no impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
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 consolidated financial statement.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU
2024-03, Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires enhanced disclosures of the nature and composition of certain
expense captions presented in the income statement, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, and other significant
expenses. The Company adopted this guidance during the year ended December 31, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements but resulted in additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements.

Business combinations
Pacific Sun Packaging Inc.
On July 7, 2025, the Company completed
the acquisition of 100 % of the outstanding shares of common stock of Pacific Sun Packaging Inc., a California corporation specializing
in custom antistatic and high-precision protective packaging for electronic and IT hardware components (“Pacific Sun”). As
consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid cash of $ 1,020,700 and settled an outstanding promissory note of $ 128,294 . The Company
also agreed to a contingent earn-out payable up to a maximum of $ 250,000 if sales during the 12-month period following the acquisition
equal or exceed $ 1,145,915 (the “Earn-out Target”). The earn-out payable will be reduced on a proportional basis if the Earn-out
Target is not reached, with no amount payable if sales during the 12-month period following the acquisition are equal to or below $ 458,366 .
The contingent consideration was recognized
at fair value as of the acquisition date and is classified as a liability. The fair value was estimated using a probability-weighted
discounted cash flow approach, incorporating management’s revenue projections and an estimated discount rate of approximately 11 %.
As of December 31, 2025, the estimated
fair value of the contingent consideration liability was $ 206,249 . The Company remeasures the contingent consideration liability at each
reporting date. Changes in the liability due to the passage of time are recognized as accretion expense, while other changes in fair
value, if any, are recognized in earnings. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized accretion expense of $ 10,178 .

The Company accounts for investments
in warrants as equity securities in accordance with ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities, and measures such investments at fair
value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As of December 31, 2025, the Company held warrants with an estimated fair value
of approximately $ 48,111 . The Company estimated fair value using an adjusted intrinsic value approach, calculated as the excess of the
underlying share price over the exercise price, multiplied by the number of warrants outstanding. The Company determined that this approach
was appropriate as the warrants were in-the-money at the measurement date and the time value component was not considered significant.
The valuation was calibrated by applying
a discount, which was determined based on the cash paid to acquire the warrants relative to the implied intrinsic value at that date.
The Company considers the transaction price and underlying share price to represent observable market inputs, and no significant unobservable
inputs were used in the valuation at the reporting date.
Key inputs used in the valuation included:
● Underlying share price: $ 8.08 per share (observable market input)
● Exercise price: $ 3.00 per share
● Number of warrants: 26,041 (post reverse stock split)
Based on the nature of the valuation
inputs, the warrants are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.

License #1:
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 %.

License #2:
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 (the license granted under this license agreement, “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 9 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 shares of common stock issued to the pharmaceutical company. The Company incurred transaction costs of
$ 12,320 in legal fees and $ 1,117,771 in shares of common stock paid to a consultant who assisted in acquiring License # 2. The shares
of 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 shares issued to
the consultant. The fair value adjustments were calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The
Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, expected time to expiration or exercise,
the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate.
Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
The 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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

The consultant who assisted in acquiring
License # 2 is to receive 21 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: 6 shares (issued)
● August 1, 2024: 5 shares (issued)
● November 1, 2024: 5 shares (issued)
● February 2, 2025: 5 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 February 18, 2025, Northstrive Biosciences
Inc. submitted a pre-Investigational New Drug (“pre-IND”) meeting request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)
for EL-22, a potential obesity therapy designed to promote fat loss and preserve muscle mass when used in combination with GLP-1 receptor
agonists.
On March 21, 2025, the Company entered
into a first amendment to the exclusive license agreement covering License # 2, expanding the licensed fields in the exclusive license
agreement to include all uses in animal health, including all applications as a feed additive. The Company paid $ 6,000 and issued 857
shares of common stock to the pharmaceutical company in consideration for entry into this first amendment to the exclusive license agreement
regarding 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.
The first amendment to the exclusive
license agreement did not result in a remeasurement of the intangible asset under ASC 350 – Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,
as it does not constitute a new acquisition or recognition event. The Company will continue to monitor the asset for impairment indicators
consistent with U.S. GAAP.
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 –
March 26,

Risk-free interest rate

Expected life

Expected dividend rate

(Expressed in United States dollars)
On May 12, 2025, the Company entered
into a second amendment to an existing license agreement related to License # 2. The second amendment to the license agreement clarified
the scope and terms of use within the animal health field. Key changes included clarification that certain provisions regarding (i) the
exclusive license granted to the pharmaceutical company, (ii) milestone payment obligations of the Company, (iii) research and development
obligations of the Company, (iv) recording obligations of the Company, (v) development data provisions, (vi) regulatory responsibilities
of the Company, (vii) commercialization plan obligations of the Company, did not apply to licensing rights granted under the license
agreement as the rights applied to the animal health field. The second amendment’s provisions also narrowed the Company’s
payment obligations as to royalty payments on direct sales and a proportion of amounts received from sublicensees, as the payment related
to the animal health field. There was no cost associated with the second amendment.
As License #2 is an IPR&D intangible
asset, the Company is required to perform an annual impairment test. In accordance with ASC 350 “Intangibles—Goodwill and
Other”, the Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment first, to determine if it is more likely than not that the
IPR&D intangible asset is impaired. Only if the qualitative test indicates that it is more likely than not that the intangible asset
is impaired, is the Company required to calculate the fair value of the intangible asset and perform a quantitative impairment test.
Under the qualitative analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the intangible asset is not impaired, and
as a result was not required to perform a quantitative test as of December 31, 2025.
Customer relationship
In connection with the acquisition
of AGA Precision Systems, the Company recognized an intangible asset for customer relationships, representing the value associated with
the acquired customer base, including both contractual and non-contractual relationships, and the expected future economic benefits from
recurring business with such customers. The customer relationships intangible asset was recorded at its estimated fair value as of the
acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The fair value of customer relationships was determined using an
income approach, specifically the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEE”), which estimates the present value of cash
flows attributable solely to the existing customer base after deducting contributory asset charges for supporting assets. Based on this
methodology, the fair value of customer relationships was determined to be approximately $ 182,300 at the acquisition. The asset is amortized
on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 12 years. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized amortization
expense of approximately $ 3,780 , resulting in a net carrying value of approximately $ 178,520 as of December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated
the customer relationships intangible asset for impairment and determined that no impairment indicators were present as of December 31,
2025.

of Pacific Sun Packaging, the Company recognized an intangible asset for customer relationships, representing the value associated with
the acquired customer base, including both contractual and non-contractual relationships, and the expected future economic benefits from
recurring business with such customers. The customer relationships intangible asset was recorded at its estimated fair value of approximately
$ 340,000 as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The fair value of customer relationships was determined
using an income approach, specifically the MPEE, which estimates the present value of cash flows attributable solely to the existing
customer base after deducting contributory asset charges. The asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life
of 15 years. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately $ 11,007 , resulting in
a net carrying value of approximately $ 328,993 as of December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the customer relationships intangible asset
for impairment and determined that no impairment indicators were present as of December 31, 2025.
In connection with the acquisition
of Indarg Engineering, Inc. , the Company recognized an intangible asset for customer relationships, representing the value associated
with the acquired customer base, including both contractual and non-contractual relationships, and the expected future economic benefits
from recurring business with such customers. The customer relationships intangible asset was recorded at its estimated fair value of
approximately $ 160,000 as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The fair value of customer relationships
was determined using an income approach, specifically the MPEE, based on projected cash flows attributable to existing customers, net
of contributory asset charges. Key assumptions included a long-term revenue growth rate of approximately 2.7 %, an attrition rate of 12.0 %,
and a discount rate of approximately 16.2 % reflecting the risk profile of the asset. The customer relationships intangible asset is amortized
on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of approximately 13.2 years, which reflects the period over which the asset is
expected to contribute to future cash flows. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately
$ 2,159 , resulting in a net carrying value of approximately $ 157,841 as of December 31, 2025.

relationships intangible asset for impairment and determined that no impairment indicators were present as of December 31, 2025.
Brand
In connection with the acquisition
of Pacific Sun Packaging, the Company recognized an intangible asset for the Pacific Sun brand name, representing the value associated
with brand recognition, market presence, and customer awareness within the electronics packaging industry. The brand intangible asset
was recorded at its estimated fair value of approximately $ 150,000 as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.
The fair value of the brand was determined
using an income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty (“RFR”) method, which estimates the present value of royalties
that the Company is deemed to avoid by owning the brand name rather than licensing it. The valuation was based on projected revenues
attributable to the brand, an estimated royalty rate of approximately 3.5 % derived from comparable market transactions, and a discount
rate reflecting the risk profile of the asset. The analysis also considered qualitative factors including the Company’s historical
brand development efforts, industry recognition, operating history, and expected future growth.
The brand is amortized on a straight-line
basis over an estimated useful life of 5 years, which reflects the period over which the asset is expected to contribute to future cash
flows. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately $ 14,568 , resulting in a net
carrying value of approximately $ 135,432 as of December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the brand intangible asset for impairment and
determined that no impairment indicators were present as of December 31, 2025.
Backlog
In connection with the AGA Precision
Systems, the Company recognized an intangible asset for backlog, representing confirmed customer purchase orders and contractual commitments
on hand as of the acquisition date that are expected to be fulfilled and recognized as revenue within a short period, generally within
the subsequent fiscal year. Backlog is considered a finite-lived intangible asset and was recognized separately from customer relationships
to avoid double counting of economic benefits. The fair value of backlog was determined using an income approach, which estimates the
earnings attributable to the fulfillment of existing orders, and was determined to be approximately $ 29,000 at the acquisition date.
Backlog is amortized over its expected realization period. The asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life
of one year . For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized amortization expense of approximately $ 10,021 , resulting in
a net carrying value of approximately $ 18,979 as of December 31, 2025. The Company evaluated the backlog intangible asset for impairment
and determined that no impairment indicators were present as of December 31, 2025.
13. Operating Leases
The Company’s subsidiaries, AGA
and Pacific Sun, entered into non-cancelable operating leases for the office and warehouse spaces occupied to operate its business.
The Pacific Sun lease was executed
on July 9, 2025, and the Company committed to monthly lease payments of $ 6,300 through June 30, 2026. Thereafter, monthly payments increase
by 3 % each year starting on July 1, 2026. The lease expires on June 30, 2030. On October 20, 2025, the lease was modified to expand the
premises to the entire building. The modification revised the monthly base rent and shifted the remaining term to commence payments on
January 1, 2026, and end on December 31, 2030. Modified monthly base rent is $ 7,415 for 2026, increasing 3 % annually thereafter. The
modification was accounted for as a lease remeasurement under ASC 842; the lease liability and right-of-use asset were adjusted using
the incremental borrowing rate.

14. Convertible debt under ELOC Agreement
On September 23, 2025, the Company
entered into a securities purchase agreement, establishing an equity line of credit of up to $ 20,000,000 through one or more secured
pre-paid purchases of the Company’s common stock (the “ELOC Agreement”). Under the ELOC Agreement, the Company
may, from time to time, sell and issue common stock to the investor pursuant to individual pre-paid purchases, subject to the terms
and conditions of the ELOC Agreement. The Company issued 2,363 shares of common stock to the investor as a commitment fee for the
first pre-paid purchase (Note 16). The Company also issued 429 shares of common stock as pre-delivery shares for the first pre-paid
purchase. The investor may request the Company to issue and sell common stock to the investor as to the outstanding balance on the
first pre-paid purchase at a pre-delivery purchase price of $ 0.0001 per share, subject to an aggregate pre-delivery purchase cap of
$ 25,000 (Note 16). When all of the Company’s obligations under the ELOC Agreement are settled and after the commitment period

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
On September 26, 2025, the Company
consummated the first pre-paid purchase under the equity line of credit with a principal amount of $ 5,000,000 , bearing interest at 8.5 %
per annum and maturing three years from issuance (the “convertible debt”). The instrument included an original-issue discount
of $ 425,000 and a $ 30,000 transaction expense allowance; the initial purchase price received at closing was $ 4,545,000 , with net cash
proceeds of approximately $ 3,990,000 after placement and closing costs.
The principal and accrued interest
is convertible at any time during the three-year term at the option of the investor, in whole or in part, at a price that equals 88 %
of the lowest VWAP during the 10 trading days preceding the applicable measurement date. If that calculated price is below the floor
price of $ 25.392 per share, the investor may elect to have the applicable purchase amount settled in cash rather than in shares.
The Company is accounting for the convertible
debt host contract under ASC 470-20 at amortized cost and has determined that the conversion option meets the definition of an embedded
derivative liability which is separately accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 815-15 Derivatives and Hedging — Embedded
Derivatives (Note 15).
During the month of December 2025,
the Company settled outstanding principal of $ $ 2,921,706 and accrued interest of $ 103,294 through the issuance of 49,693 shares of common
stock pursuant to eleven purchase notices totaling $ 3,025,000 . In connection with these settlements, the Company derecognized $ 1,853,134
of the convertible debt host liability and $ 467,186 of the related derivative liability, with $ 2,320,320 recorded to common stock and
additional paid-in capital.
As of December 31, 2025, the remaining
derivative liability associated with the conversion feature was $ 418,412 (Note 15), and the remaining balance of the convertible debt
continues to be accounted for at amortized cost. The outstanding principal as of December 31, 2025 was $ 2,078,294 and accrued interest
was $ nil .
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the
Company settled the remaining outstanding principal of $ 2,078,294 through the issuance of 67,735 shares of common stock pursuant to the
ELOC arrangement. In connection with this settlement, the Company derecognized the remaining convertible debt host liability of $ 1,254,479
and the related derivative liability of $ 418,412 associated with the conversion feature, with the total amount recorded to common stock
and additional paid-in capital. (Note 22)

The Company has evaluated the positive
and negative evidence bearing upon its ability to realize its deferred tax assets, which are composed principally of net operating loss
carry forwards. Management has considered the Company’s history of cumulative net losses incurred since inception and has concluded
that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of its federal and state net deferred tax assets. Accordingly,
a full valuation allowance has been established against the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company reevaluates
the positive and negative evidence at each reporting period. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance increased
by approximately 2.1 million.
At December 31, 2025, the Company had
U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 17.7 million and $ 16.9 million, respectively. The federal net operating loss
carryforwards were generated post January 1, 2018 and will carryforward indefinitely but are subject to an 80 % taxable income limitation
when utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2040.
The utilization of net operating
losses and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that have occurred
previously or may occur in the future. Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), a corporation that
undergoes and ownership change may be subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses and other
tax attributes otherwise available to offset future taxable income or tax liability. An ownership change is defined as a cumulative
change of 50% or more in the ownership positions of certain stockholders during a rolling 3-year period. The Company has not
completed a formal study to determine if any ownership changes within the meaning of Code Section 382 and 383 have occurred. If such
ownership change has occurred, the Company’s ability to use its net operating losses or tax credit carryforwards may be
restricted, which could require the Company to pay federal or state income taxes earlier than would be required if such limitations
were not in effect.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in United States dollars)
The Company recognizes the financial
statement benefit of a tax position only when it determines that the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
by the relevant taxing authority. For tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial
statements is measured as the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with
the taxing authority. The Company records interest related to uncertain tax positions as interest expense and penalties within general
and administrative expenses.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the
Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company is subject to taxation
in the United States and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to taxation in Canada following the dissolution
of its Canadian subsidiary. There are currently no ongoing examinations by taxing authorities.
The Company’s U.S. federal and
state tax years 2021 through 2024 remain open for examination, generally for three and four years, respectively, from the date of utilization
of any net operating loss carryforwards. The Company’s Canadian tax years remain open for examination by the Canadian tax authority
for four years from the filing deadline.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful
Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing several changes to U.S. tax laws affecting corporations. Key provisions include
the expensing of domestic research expenditures, an increase in the limitation on the deduction of interest expense to 30 % of EBITDA,
and 100 % bonus depreciation for eligible property acquired after January 19, 2025.
These provisions became effective for
the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The Company evaluated the impact of the new legislation and determined
that it did not have a material effect on the Company’s current or future effective income tax rate or cash taxes paid.

Commitments and Contingencies
There were no commitments as of December
31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, or during the periods then ended.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company
had an ongoing dispute that arose in the normal course of business. In February 2025, solely to avoid the cost and burdens associated
with litigation, the Company and the other parties to this dispute entered into a settlement agreement to fully and finally resolve any
and all claims between them, without the Company or any party admitting any liability or fault. Due to the confidential nature of the
settlement agreement, the Company is not in a position to disclose the terms of the settlement; however, the amounts payable by the Company
to the parties and their legal counsel is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2024. The amounts were
paid in full by December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company
had an ongoing dispute that arose in the normal course of business and mediation discussions are ongoing. It is not yet possible to predict
the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome, or the amount or range of potential loss.
