Amalgamation Agreement
with MagicMed Industries Inc.
On
May 24, 2021, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1306432 B.C. Ltd., a
corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo”),
1306436 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo
(“Purchaser”), and MagicMed Industries Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“MagicMed”),
pursuant to which, among other things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed
in exchange for securities of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms
and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation (as defined herein), the amalgamated
corporation (“Amalco”) will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September
16, 2021.
- 54 -
At
the effective time of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), holders of outstanding common shares of MagicMed (the “MagicMed
Shares”) received such number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Shares”) representing, together with
the Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Converted Options (each as defined herein), approximately 36.6% of
the issued and outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted basis). The MagicMed Shares were initially converted into Amalco Redeemable
Preferred Shares (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), which immediately following the Amalgamation were redeemed for 0.000001
of a Company Share. Following such redemption, the shareholders of MagicMed received additional Company Shares equal to the product of
the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares held by each such shareholder.
Additionally, following the Effective Time (i) each outstanding MagicMed stock option was converted into and became an option to purchase
(the “Converted Options”) the number of Company Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares
subject to such MagicMed stock option, and (ii) each holder of an outstanding MagicMed warrant (including Company Broker Warrants (as
defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), the “Warrants”) received upon exercise of such Warrant that number of Company Shares
which the holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Amalgamation if, immediately prior to the date of the Amalgamation
(the “Effective Date”), such holder had been the registered holder of the number of MagicMed Shares to which such holder
would have been entitled if such holder had exercised such holder’s Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (the foregoing
collectively, the “Amalgamation”). In aggregate, holders of MagicMed Shares received 9,951,217 Company Shares representing
approximately 31.7% of the Company Shares following the consummation of the Amalgamation. The maximum number of Company Shares to be
issued by the Company as in respect of the Warrants and Converted Options shall not exceed 7,404,101 Company Shares.
The
aggregate number of Company Shares that the Company issued in connection with the Amalgamation (collectively, the “Share Consideration”)
was in excess of 20% of the Company’s pre-transaction outstanding Company Shares. Accordingly, the Company sought and received
stockholder approval of the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company appointed, effective as of the Effective Time two individuals selected by MagicMed
to the Company Board of Directors, Dr. Joseph Tucker and Dr. Brad Thompson.
The
Amalgamation Agreement contained representations and warranties, closing deliveries and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction
of this nature. The closing of the Amalgamation was conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the Share Consideration being approved
for listing on Nasdaq, (ii) the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 registering the Share Consideration (the “S-4
Registration Statement”) and (iii) the approval (a) of the MagicMed stockholders of the Amalgamation and (b) of the Company’s
stockholders of each of the Amalgamation and the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation. The closing of the Amalgamation
occurred on September 16, 2021.
MagicMed
Industries develops and commercializes psychedelic-derived pharmaceutical candidates. MagicMed’s psychedelic derivatives library,
the Psybrary™, is an essential building block from which industry can develop new patented products. The initial focus of the Psybrary™
is on psilocybin and DMT derivatives, and it is then expected to be expanded to other psychedelics.
Subsequent Events
Public Offering
On
February 15, 2022, the Company completed a public offering of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to 20,000,000
shares of Common Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other
offering expenses. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as sole book-running manager for the offering. In addition, Enveric granted
the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to an
additional 3,000,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, which the underwriter has partially exercised for warrants
to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock.
- 55 -
All
the securities being sold in the offering were offered by Enveric. At closing, Enveric received net proceeds from the offering of approximately
$9.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the
net proceeds from this offering for working capital and to fund other general corporate purposes.
Nasdaq Bid Price
Minimum
On
February 18, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq indicating that, based upon
the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 5, 2021, through
February 17, 2022, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital
Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period
of 180 calendar days, or until August 17, 2022, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). The letter
further provided that if, at any time during the 180-day period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was at least
$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq would provide the Company with written confirmation that it had achieved
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
Financial
Overview
We
are a pre-revenue biotech company that has to date, not generated any revenues. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we raised approximately
$25.0 million from the sales of common stock and warrants and from proceeds realized from the exercise of cash warrants. In addition,
the Amalgamation was a cash accretive transaction from which we realized approximately $3.1 million in cash assets. These amounts were
the primary source of funds upon which our operations were financed.
Research
and Development Expenses
Research
and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred for the research and development of our preclinical product candidates,
and include, without limitation:
●
employee-related
expenses, including salaries, benefits and share-based compensation expense;
●
expenses
incurred under agreements with contract research organizations, contract manufacturing organizations, and consultants and other entities
engaged to support our product research and development activities;
●
the
cost of acquiring, developing and manufacturing materials and lab supplies used in research and development activities;
●
facility,
equipment, depreciation and other expenses, which include, without limitation direct and allocated expenses for rent, maintenance
of our facilities and equipment, insurance and other supplies;
●
costs
associated with preclinical activities and regulatory operations, including, without limitation, patent related costs;
●
consulting
and professional fees associated with research and development activities.
We
expense research and development costs to operations as incurred. Research and development activities are central to our business model.
We utilize a combination of internal and external efforts to advance product development from early-stage work to future clinical trial
manufacturing and clinical trial support. External efforts include work with consultants and increasingly substantial work at CROs and
CMOs. We support an internal research and development team and our facility in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. To move these programs forward
along our development timelines, a large portion (approximately 75%) of our staff are research and development employees. Because of
the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, however, we cannot determine with certainty the duration and
completion costs of these or other current or future preclinical studies and clinical trials. The duration, costs and timing of clinical
trials and development of our product candidates will depend on a variety of factors, including the uncertainties of future clinical
and preclinical studies, uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment rates and significant and changing government regulation. In addition,
the probability of success for each product candidate will depend on numerous factors, including competition, manufacturing capability
and commercial viability.
- 56 -
General
and Administrative Expenses
General
and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries, benefits and related costs such as share-based compensation for personnel
and consultants in executive, finance, business development, corporate communications and human resource functions, facility costs not
otherwise included in research and development expenses, accounting and audit costs, tax compliance costs, SEC compliance costs, investor
relation costs, training and conference costs, insurance costs and legal fees.
We
anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will increase in the future as they relate to audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related
services associated with maintaining compliance with exchange listing and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements, director and
officer liability insurance, investor relations costs and other costs associated with being a public company.
Impairment
of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
Intangible
assets consist of the Psybrary and Patent Applications, In Process Research and Development (“IPR&D”) and license agreements.
Psybrary and Patent Applications intangible assets are valued using the relief from royalty method .
The cost of license agreements is amortized over the economic life of the license. The Company
assesses the carrying value of its intangible assets for impairment each year. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired
intangible assets, valued at approximately $35.5 million and relating to the Psybrary and Patent Applications and IPR&D.
Goodwill
consists of the excess fair value after the allocation to the identifiable net assets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company
recorded goodwill in aggregate of approximately $9.8 million, consisting of $9.1 million being specifically attributable to the deferred
tax liabilities incurred and $0.8 million relating to the residual intangible asset that generates earnings in excess of a normal return
on all other tangible and intangible assets.
The
Company performs an annual impairment test of intangible assets and goodwill as of December 31 of each fiscal year. As of December 31,
2021, the Company qualitatively assessed whether it is more likely than not that the respective fair value of the Company’s intangible
assets and goodwill is less than its carrying amount. During the fourth quarter 2021, the Company experienced a sustained decline in
the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock and as a result the Company determined that as of December 31, 2021 it was
more likely than not that the carrying value of these acquired intangibles exceeded their estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company
performed an impairment analysis as of that date using the income approach. This analysis required significant judgments, including primarily
the estimation of future development costs, the probability of success in various phases of its development programs, potential post
launch cash flows and a risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital. Pursuant to ASU 2017-04, the Company recorded an impairment of
intangible assets of approximately $30.5 million, and an impairment of goodwill of approximately $8.2 million. There were no impairment
charges during the year ended December 31, 2020. There was no goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2020.
Stock-Based
Compensation
A
significant portion of our operating expenses is related to stock-based compensation costs. Stock based compensation costs were approximately
$12.6 million and $2.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock
based compensation consists of restricted stock units (“RSU”), restricted stock awards (“RSA”) and options to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation
- Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, requiring such transactions to be accounted
for using the fair value method. The fair value of RSU or RSA awards is determined by the closing price per share of the Company’s
common stock on the date of the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value
of options issued.
- 57 -
RSU’s
and RSA’s may contain vesting conditions that include, without limitation, any or all of the following: immediate vesting, vesting
over a defined time period, vesting based on specific volume weighted average price levels being achieved by the Company’s common
stock as publicly traded within specified measurement periods, and vesting based on the achievement of specific performance milestones.
Options contain vesting conditions that provide for vesting over a defined time period.
The
fair value of RSU’s, RSA’s and options, is charged to expense, on a straight line basis over the vesting periods defined
in the award agreements, except for the fair value which is attributable to achievement a specific performance milestones, which are
charged to expense upon achievement of such milestones.
Change
in fair value of warrant liabilities
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, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”
(“ASC 815”). The Company accounts for warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock that are not indexed to its
own stock as derivative liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company adjusts this derivative liability at
each reporting period, with the liability recorded on the balance sheet being equal to fair value of such liability on the relevant balance
sheet date.
Fair
value of derivative liabilities is determined in accordance with ASC 820-10 “Fair Value Measurement”. As of December 31,
2021, the fair value of all derivative liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes method, which is a level 3 method, as defined
in ASC 820-10. The were no derivative liabilities existing on the Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.
Derivative
liabilities with an initial fair value of approximately $10.0 million were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021, all of which
were attributable to certain warrants issued as part the Company’s sales of common stock and warrants in January and February 2021.
During the year ended December 31, 2021 an aggregate decrease in value of derivative liabilities of approximately $9.3 million was recorded,
resulting in other income equal to such amount. The fair value of these derivative liabilities has a strong correlation to the price
per share of the Company’s common stock as publicly traded. Increases in the Company’s price per share will result in an
increased derivative liability, with a corresponding other expense being recorded in the other income (expense) section of the statement
of operations. Decreases in the Company’s price per share will result in a decreased derivative liability, with a corresponding
other income being recorded in the other income (expense) section of the statement of operations.
Key
Components of Our Results of Operations
Operating
Expenses
Our
operating expenses include, without limitation, research and development, employee compensation and payroll taxes, employee benefits,
insurance costs, facility costs, laboratory supplies, office expenses, conference and meeting costs, travel expenses, cyber costs, financial
statement preparation services, tax compliance, various consulting and director fees, legal services, auditing fees, stock-based compensation,
impairment of intangible assets, depreciation of equipment and amortization of intangible assets. These expenses have increased in connection
with the Company’s expanded product development activities which significantly increased as a result of the Amalgamation Agreement
and the Company’s management expects these expenses to continue to at current or increased levels as the Company continues to execute
its product development plans.

Known Trends or Uncertainties
The
current inflationary trend existing in the North American economic environment is considered by Management to be reasonably likely to
have a material unfavorable impact on results of continuing operations. Higher rates of price inflation, as compared to recent prior
levels of price inflation have caused a general increase the cost of labor and materials. In addition, there is an increased risk of
the Company experiencing labor shortages as a result of a potential inability to attract and retain human resources due to increased
labor costs resulting from the current inflationary environment.
Operating
Expenses
Operating expenses increased
to $64,623,420 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $5,617,317 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $59,006,103,
or 1,050%. This change was primarily driven by costs that include, without limitation, costs related to impairment of intangible
assets and goodwill of $38,678,918, which did not occur in the prior year, and increases in research and development costs
of $4,614,724, stock-based compensation of $9,812,669, legal & accounting costs of $1,706,263, human resource costs of $1,585,457,
insurance costs of $1,752,068 and marketing, & public company costs of $554,813, as compared to the prior year.

Interest
Expense
Interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $10,316 compared to $445,250 for the year ended December 31, 2020. A decrease of 98%.
This decrease is due to the Company’s satisfaction of promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of approximately
$2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting in the current year having significantly decreased interest-bearing
liabilities.
Inducement
Expense
Inducement
expense was $1,125,291 for the year December 31, 2021 as compared to $802,109 for the year ended December 31, 2020. An increase of 40%.
The expenses recorded are related to inducement incurred related to the conversion of warrants and options.
Change
in fair value of warrant liabilities
Change
in fair value of warrant liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was an income of $9,327,326 as compared to $—
for the year ended December 31, 2020. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is significantly influenced by the change
in the closing price of Common Stock at the end of each period, as compared to the closing price of Common Stock at the beginning of
each period with a strong inverse relationship between changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and the trading price of Common Stock.
Income
tax benefit
Income
tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $7,454,805 as compared to $— for the year ended December 31, 2020. The income
tax benefit was realized in conjunction with the decrease in deferred tax liability resulting from the impairment of intangible assets
and goodwill charges incurred during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Foreign
currency translation
Gain
on foreign currency translation was $150,475 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as compared to a loss on foreign currency translation
of $169,655, a net increase in comprehensive income of $320,130. Gains and losses on foreign currency translation result
from financial transactions of the Company’s two subsidiaries in Canada being recorded in their functional currency of Canadian
dollars and then translated to United States dollars at period end for consolidated reporting by the parent company. The Company incurred
significant impairment of intangible asset charges at December 31, 2021, with these large amounts being applied to the variation in exchange
rates as compared to prior period end translations being the primary catalyst of the increase in comprehensive income relating
to foreign currency translation as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $60,736,453
and working capital of $15,653,281. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance
of debt and equity.
The
Company’s material cash requirements consist of working capital to fund capital expenditures incurred at our research facility
in Calgary and our operations, which consist primarily of, without limitation, employee related expenses, product development activities
conducted by third parties, research materials and lab supplies, facility related expenses including rent and maintenance, costs associated
with preclinical studies, patent related costs, costs of regulatory and public company compliance, insurance costs, audit costs, consultants
and legal fees. Additionally, we currently utilize third-party contract CROs to assist with our clinical development activities. If we
obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, we expect to incur significant expenses to engage third-party contract
CMOs to carry out our clinical manufacturing activities as we do not yet have a commercial organization, and incur significant expenses
related to developing our internal commercialization capability to support product sales, marketing and distribution. The Company’s
current working capital resources, which include amounts received pursuant to the February 2022 underwritten public offering described
below are sufficient to fund these material cash requirements for the next twelve months.
- 60 -
We
expect to finance our future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or business development transactions.
If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate our research and development programs
or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborators or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain pipeline candidates
that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently. Our ability finance our future cash need through equity offerings
may be limited by our amount of authorized and unissued share. As of the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company
does not have sufficient unreserved, authorized shares to secure an equity investment of sufficient amount, based on the Company’s
currently traded price per share. The Company intends to seek shareholder approval for an increase in authorized shares to remedy the
insufficiency of unreserved authorized shares. There can be no assurances given as to shareholder approval of an increase in authorized
shares.
Furthermore,
on February 18, 2022, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing
bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between January 5, 2022, through February 17,
2022, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar
days, or until August 17, 2022 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
In
order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum
closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not
regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify,
the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other
initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written
notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary.
If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if
it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional
cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting.
While
the letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on
The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market,
a failure to cure this deficiency would result in a delisting from the Nasdaq, which would result in significantly increased uncertainty
as to the Company’s ability to raise capital required to fund its material cash requirements.
February
2022 underwritten public offering
On
February 11, 2022, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance
Global Partners (the “Underwriter”). Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell, in a firm commitment
offering, 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and accompanying warrants to purchase up
to an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of its common stock, as well as up to 3,000,000 additional shares of common stock and/or warrants
to purchase an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 shares of its common stock that may be purchased by the Underwriter pursuant to a 45-day
option granted to the Underwriter by the Company (the “Offering”). Each share of common stock is being sold together with
a common warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at an exercise price of $0.55 per share. Such common warrants are immediately
exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The combined public offering price of each share of common stock and
accompanying common warrant sold in the Offering was $0.50. On February 14, 2022, the Underwriter exercised its option to purchase warrants
to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock.
All
the securities being sold in the offering were offered by Enveric. At closing, Enveric received net proceeds from the offering of approximately
$9.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company intends to use the
net proceeds from this offering for working capital and to fund other general corporate purposes.
This
offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257690) previously filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that was declared effective by the SEC on July 9, 2021, and to a prospectus supplement
and accompanying prospectus. The final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering were filed with the
SEC and are available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.

Amalgamation with MagicMed
On
May 24, 2021, the Company entered into the Amalgamation Agreement with Holdco and Purchaser and MagicMed, pursuant to which, among other
things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed in exchange for securities
of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth
in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation (as defined herein), Amalco will be an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September 16, 2021.
At
the Effective Time, holders of the MagicMed Shares received such number of shares of Company Shares representing, together with the Company
Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Converted Options (each as defined herein), approximately 36.6% of the issued and
outstanding Company Shares (on a fully diluted basis). The MagicMed Shares were initially converted into Amalco Redeemable Preferred
Shares (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement), which immediately following the Amalgamation were redeemed for 0.000001 of a Company
Share. Following such redemption, the shareholders of MagicMed received additional Company Shares equal to the product of the Exchange
Ratio (as defined in the Amalgamation Agreement) multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares held by each such shareholder. Additionally,
following the Effective Time (i) each outstanding MagicMed stock option was converted into and became an option to purchase (the “Converted
Options”) the number of Company Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of MagicMed Shares subject to such
MagicMed stock option, and (ii) each holder of an outstanding MagicMed warrant (including Company Broker Warrants (as defined in the
Amalgamation Agreement), the “Warrants”) received upon exercise of such Warrant that number of Company Shares which the holder
would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Amalgamation if, immediately prior to the date of the Amalgamation (the “Effective
Date”), such holder had been the registered holder of the number of MagicMed Shares to which such holder would have been entitled
if such holder had exercised such holder’s Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time (the foregoing collectively, the “Amalgamation”).
In aggregate, holders of MagicMed Shares received 9,951,217 Company Shares representing approximately 31.7% of the Company Shares following
the consummation of the Amalgamation. The maximum number of Company Shares to be issued by the Company as in respect of the Warrants
and Converted Options shall not exceed 7,404,101 Company Shares.
The aggregate number of Company
Shares that the Company issued in connection with the Amalgamation (collectively, the “Share Consideration”) was in excess
of 20% of the Company’s pre-transaction outstanding Company Shares. Accordingly, the Company sought and received stockholder approval
of the issuance of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation in accordance with the NASDAQ Listing Rules.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, the Company appointed, effective as of the Effective Time two individuals selected by MagicMed
to the Company Board of Directors, Dr. Joseph Tucker and Dr. Brad Thompson.
The Amalgamation Agreement contained representations and warranties,
closing deliveries and indemnification provisions customary for a transaction of this nature. The closing of the Amalgamation was conditioned
upon, among other things, (i) the Share Consideration being approved for listing on Nasdaq, (ii) the effectiveness of a Registration
Statement on Form S-4 registering the Share Consideration (the “S-4 Registration Statement”) and (iii) the approval (a) of
the MagicMed stockholders of the Amalgamation and (b) of the Company’s stockholders of each of the Amalgamation and the issuance
of the Share Consideration in the Amalgamation. The closing of the Amalgamation occurred on September 16, 2021. This transaction was
cash accretive to the Company, with an aggregate of $3,055,328 in cash being included in the net assets acquired.

2020 Note
On
February 24, 2020, Jay Pharma received $50,000 in exchange for a promissory note with a lender (the “February 2020 Note”).
The February 2020 Note bore interest at a rate of 10% on its face value per annum. In the case of an event of default, the interest rate
would increase to 24% per year. The note matured on July 31, 2020. The February 2020 Note was convertible into common shares of Jay Pharma

to which, on January 10, 2020, Jay Pharma received a $1,500,000 loan from Alpha. The Original Note was amended to reflect an additional
investment of $500,000, resulting in a total principal amount of $2,000,000. The Original Note was further amended on August 12, 2020,
to account for the termination of the Original Amalgamation Agreement and the change in the structure of the transaction from an amalgamation
to a stock-for-stock exchange offer. Upon the closing of the Offer, the Note was converted into the right to receive 2,473,848 common
shares of Jay Pharma and warrants to purchase 2,333,970 common shares of Jay Pharma at an exercise price of $1.03 per share immediately

shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 516,333 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $4.64 per share, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

shares of Jay Pharma and warrants to purchase 500,000 common shares of Jay Pharma at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for an aggregate
purchase price of $300,000 (the “Alpha December Investment”). In connection with the Offer, such shares were exchanged for

share.

Additionally,
at the effective time of the Offer, the Company issued five-year warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase 1,791,923
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 to Alpha, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants is equal to the product of (i) 8,100,000 and (ii) the Exchange Ratio

net proceeds from this offering for working capital and to fund other general corporate purposes.
- 63 -
This
offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257690) previously filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that was declared effective by the SEC on July 9, 2021, and to a prospectus supplement
and accompanying prospectus.
We
believe that, as a result of these transactions, we currently have sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet our funding requirements
over the next year. Notwithstanding, we expect that we will need to raise additional financing to accomplish our development plan over
the next several years. We may seek to obtain additional funding through debt or equity financing in the future. There are no assurances
that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that cash flows generated from our operations will be sufficient
to meet our current operating costs. Our ability to obtain additional capital may depend on prevailing economic conditions and financial,
business and other factors beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unstable economic environment globally. Disruptions
in the global financial markets may adversely impact the availability and cost of credit, as well as our ability to raise money in the
capital markets. Current economic conditions have been and continue to be volatile. Continued instability in these market conditions
may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of
additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our financial condition and operating
results.
Cash
Flows
Since
inception, we have primarily used our available cash to fund our product development expenditures.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation
of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect
the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses and related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and
judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time our consolidated
financial statements are prepared. Accordingly, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
We
have identified certain accounting estimates which involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably
likely to have a material impact on our financial conditions or results of operations.
We
believe that the following accounting estimates are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial
results. There have been no changes to estimates during the periods presented in the filing. Historically, changes in management estimates
have not been material.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our most significant estimates include
impairment charges to intangible assets and goodwill, measurement of stock-based compensation expenses and the valuation of warrant derivative
liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recent
Accounting Standards
Management
does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, when adopted, will have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements, other than those disclosed below.
In December 2019, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740: Simplifying the Accounting for Income
Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 is effective
for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2020, the FASB
issued ASU 2020-10, “Codification Improvements.” The new accounting rules improve the consistency of the Codification by
including all disclosure guidance in the appropriate Disclosure Section (Section 50) that had only been included in the Other Presentation
Matters Section (Section 45) of the Codification. Additionally, the new rules also clarify guidance across various topics including defined
benefit plans, foreign currency transactions, and interest expense. The new accounting rules were effective for the Company in the first
quarter of 2021. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
- 65 -
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50),
Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic
815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. The
amendments in ASU No. 2021-04 provides guidance to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or
exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification
or exchange. The amendments in this ASU No. 2021-04 are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As
a result, the Company adopted ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022. The adoption of the new accounting rules did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution,
which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts
and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had greater
than $250,000 at US or Canadian financial institutions.
Foreign
Currency Risk
From
inception through December 31, 2021, the reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar while the functional currency
of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes
in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar.
The
Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed
to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations
in the future.

2021 Registered Direct Offering
On
January 12, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with Alpha, The
Hewlett Fund LP, Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B (“Alto”), Iroquois Master Fund Ltd.,
Iroquois Capital Investment Group LLC and Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd (collectively, the “Subsequent Investors”), pursuant

pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) in lieu of shares of Common Stock. The offering closed on January 14, 2021.
- 66 -
The
Pre-funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised
at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder of a Pre-funded Warrant may
not exercise any portion of such holder’s Pre-funded Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would
beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock
immediately after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice
from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.
The
shares, the Pre-funded Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants (the “Pre-funded
Warrant Shares”) were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233260), previously

forth therein. A holder of January 2021 Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its January 2021 Warrants if the
holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that
upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that
in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.
The
January 2021 Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the January 2021 Warrants (the “January
2021 Warrant Shares”) were not registered under the Securities Act, were not offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement,
and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder
as a transaction by the issuer not involving a public offering.
To

other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission this Registration Statement to register
