AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND LIQUIDITY AND OTHER UNCERTAINTIES Nature of Operations Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric” or the “Company”) is a biotechnology company developing novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida. The Company has the following wholly-owned subsidiaries: Jay Pharma Inc. (“Jay Pharma”), 1306432 B.C. Ltd. (“HoldCo”), MagicMed Industries, Inc. (“MagicMed”), Enveric Canada Inc., and Enveric Therapeutics, Pty. Ltd. (“Enveric Therapeutics”). Leveraging its unique discovery and development platform, the Psybrary™, Enveric has created a robust intellectual property portfolio of new chemical entities for specific mental health indications. Enveric’s lead program, the EVM201 Series, comprises next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. Enveric is developing the first product from the EVM201 Series – EB-002 (formerly, EB-373) – for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. Enveric is also advancing its second program, the EVM301 Series, expected to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity without also inducing hallucinations in the patient. Following the Company’s amalgamation with MagicMed completed in September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), the Company has continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary Psychedelic Derivatives library, the Psybrary™ which the Company believes will help to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including cancer-related distress. The Company synthesizes novel versions of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, DMT, mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. Within the Psybrary™ the Company has three different types of molecules, Generation 1 (classic psychedelics), Generation 2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities). The Company is working to add novel psychedelic molecular compounds and derivatives (“Psychedelic Derivatives”) on a regular basis through its work at the Company’s labs in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where the Company has a team of PhD scientists with expertise in synthetic biology and chemistry. To date the Company has created over 500 molecules that are housed in the Psybrary™. The Company screens newly synthesized molecules in the Psybrary™ through PsyAI™, a proprietary artificial intelligence (“AI”) tool. Leveraging AI systems is expected to reduce the time and cost of pre-clinical, clinical, and commercial development. The Company believes it streamlines pharmaceutical design by predicting ideal binding structures of molecules, manufacturing capabilities, and pharmacological effects to help determine ideal drug candidates, tailored to each indication. Each of these molecules that the Company believes are patentable can then be further screened to see how changes to its makeup alter its effects in order to synthesize additional new molecules. New compounds of sufficient purity are undergoing pharmacological screening, including non-clinical (receptors/cell lines), preclinical (animal), and ultimately clinical (human) evaluations. The Company intends to utilize the Psybrary™ and the AI tool to categorize and characterize the Psybrary™ substituents to focus on bringing more psychedelics-inspired molecules from discovery to the clinical phase. Going Concern, Liquidity and Other Uncertainties The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $ 98,956,433 as of March 31, 2024 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company has operating cash outflows of $ 2,598,347 and had a loss from operations of $ 2,477,317 . Since inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. 7 ENVERIC BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $ 6,356,036 and working capital of $ 5,860,884 . The Company’s current cash on hand is not sufficient enough to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months from the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park (see Note 7 and 9), subject to registration, and may include additional collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities. As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Inflation Risks The Company considers the current inflationary trend existing in the North American economic environment 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 in the cost of labor and materials. In addition, there is an increased risk of the Company experiencing labor shortages due to a potential inability to attract and retain human resources due to increased labor costs resulting from the current inflationary environment. Nasdaq Notice On November 21, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market stating that as of September 30, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum of $ 2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). On February 6, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq, granting the Company an extension to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement by May 20, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is reporting stockholders’ equity of $ 6,481,856 . Thus the Company believes that in filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, it will have regained and evidenced compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by the required deadline. However, the Company’s compliance remains subject to review and analysis by Nasdaq. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation and Principal of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Management’s opinion is that all adjustments (consisting of normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 26, 2024. The Company’s significant accounting policies and recent accounting standards are summarized in Note 2 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. There were no significant changes to these accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock, the valuation of warrants and preferred investment options, and the valuation of stock-based compensation and accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 8 ENVERIC BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. In the prior year, the Company included certain investor related expenses were included within research and development on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. These expenses were reclassified to general and administrative expenses in the current year. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s previously reported results of operations, changes in equity, or cash flows. Foreign Currency Translation From inception through March 31, 2024, the reporting currency of the Company was the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries was the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against the United States dollar. The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its Canadian subsidiaries and Australian subsidiary into the United States dollar at the exchange rate in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate in effect during each monthly period. Unrealized translation gains and losses are recorded as foreign currency translation gain (loss), which is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. 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. Adjustments that arise from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local currency are included in other comprehensive loss in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as incurred. 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 in the United States and Australia and $ 100,000 in Canada. 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 March 31, 2024, the Company had greater than $ 250,000 at United States financial institutions, greater than $ 250,000 at Australian financial institutions, and greater than $ 100,000 at Canadian financial institutions. Research and Development Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Research and development expenses include, among other things, internal and external costs associated with preclinical development, pre-commercialization manufacturing expenses, and clinical trials. The Company accrues for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the trial or services provided and the invoices received from its external service providers. In the case of clinical trials, a portion of the estimated cost normally relates to the projected cost to treat a patient in the trials, and this cost is recognized based on the number of patients enrolled in the trial. As actual costs become known, the Company adjusts its accruals accordingly. Income Taxes The Company files U.S. federal and state returns. The Company’s foreign subsidiary also files a local tax return in their local jurisdiction. From a U.S. federal, state, and Canadian perspective, the years that remain open to examination are consistent with each jurisdiction’s statute of limitations. Research and Development Tax Incentive Receivable The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary in Australia, participates in the Australian research and development tax incentive program, such that a percentage of the Company’s qualifying research and development expenditures are reimbursed by the Australian government, and such incentives are reflected as a reduction of research and development expense. The Australian research and development tax incentive is recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the incentive will be received, the relevant expenditure has been incurred and the amount of the consideration can be reliably measured. At each period end, management estimates the reimbursement available to the Company based on available information at the time. Net Loss per Share Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method). The computation of basic net loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 excludes potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted. In accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”), penny warrants were included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for the purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. 9 ENVERIC BIOSCIENCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

ASU 2023-07 updates reportable segment disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024, and has determined that the adoption of this guidance had no impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures , which amends the disclosure to address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing potential impacts of ASU 2023-09 and does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

SHARE CAPITAL AND OTHER EQUITY INSTRUMENTS Equity Distribution Agreement On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”), with Canaccord Genuity LLC (“Canaccord”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time, through Canaccord as sales agent and/or principal, shares of common stock of the Company, par value $ 0.01 per share having an aggregate offering price of up to $ 10.0 million. Due to the offering limitations applicable to the Company and in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company may offer Common Stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $ 2,392,514 pursuant to the prospectus supplement dated September 1, 2023 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, Canaccord may sell the Common Stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering”. The Company will pay Canaccord a commission equal to 3.0 % of the gross sales price of the Common Stock sold through Canaccord under the Distribution Agreement and has also agreed to reimburse Canaccord for certain expenses. The Company may also sell Common Stock to Canaccord as principal for Canaccord’s own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. Any sale of Common Stock to Canaccord as principal would be pursuant to the terms of a separate terms agreement between the Company and Canaccord. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 1,668,000 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of $ 2,392,502 under the Distribution Agreement, and charged offering costs of $ 583,713 to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were deferred offering costs related to the Distribution Agreement of $ 0 and $ 171,944 , respectively. As of March 31, 2024, there is $0 available under the Distribution Agreement. On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the February 2022 Post-Modification Warrants and RD and PIPE preferred investment options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants and Investment Options”) pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants and Investment Options to purchase 1,122,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, at a reduced exercised price of $ 1.37 per share (from an original exercise price of $ 7.78 per share), in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,244,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Inducement Warrant Shares”), and the Holders to make a cash payment of $ 0.125 per Inducement Warrant share for total proceeds of $ 280,500 . In January 2024, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $ 1,817,640 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. Because the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants that exercised on December 28, 2023 and unsettled until January 2024, the proceeds are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a subscription receivable as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, 418,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were considered issued as the Company had the enforceable right to the obtain the cash proceeds, which were in-transit, and the Holders were no longer able to rescind the exercise election. Due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions, 704,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were initially unissued and held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until notice is received from the Holder that the shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued all 704,000 shares of common stock of the 704,000 shares of Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised that were held in abeyance due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions. On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders of warrants and preferred investment options. The Inducement Letters prohibit the Company from entering into any variable rate transaction as defined in the Inducement Letters, including the issuance of (1) any variable priced debt or equity securities or (2) transactions whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, such as through an at-the-market offering or an equity line of credit. The variable rate transaction restriction expires after six-month from the closing date of December 28, 2023 for the Inducement Letters for an issuance through an at-the-market offering, and one-year for the remaining variable rate transactions. On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into a series of common stock purchase agreements for the issuance in a registered direct offering of 228,690 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Holders of the Inducement Warrants. The issuance was made in exchange for the permanent and irrevocable waiver of the variable rate transaction limitation solely with respect to the entry into and/or issuance of shares of common stock in an at the market offering contained in the Inducement Letters. The fair value of the shares issued for consideration of waiving the variable rate transaction limitation was $ 322,453 and was charged to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as an offering cost related to the Distribution Agreement. Lincoln Park Equity Line On November 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to $ 10.0 million of the Company’s common stock subject to certain limitations and satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $ 10.0 million of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Purchase Shares”). However, such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be subject to important limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, including limitations on number of shares that may be sold. Sales may occur from time to time, at the Company’s sole discretion, over the 24-month period commencing on the date that the conditions to Lincoln Park’s purchase obligation set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, including that a registration statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock that have been and may be issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company has filed with the SEC pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus relating thereto is filed with the SEC. Because the purchase price per share to be paid by Lincoln Park for the shares of Common Stock that the Company may elect to sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will fluctuate based on the market prices of the Company’s Common Stock at the time the Company elects to sell shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company will sell to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Lincoln Park will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that the Company will receive from those purchases by Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had issued no shares of common stock through the Equity Line and capitalized deferred offering costs of $ 395,660 related to establishing the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park and no reductions to additional paid in capital. Of this amount, $ 255,107 represents the fair value of 139,403 shares of common stock issued to Lincoln Park as consideration for its commitment under the Purchase Agreement in November 2023. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the variable rate transaction limitation on the equity line of credit from the Inducement Warrants (as defined in the Equity Distribution Agreement section) was waived. See Note 9. Stock Options Amendment to 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan On November 2, 2023, the stockholders approved the amendments to the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was approved by the Board on August 8, 2023 (the “Amended Incentive Plan”). The Amended Incentive Plan (i) increased the number of authorized shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Incentive Plan to a maximum of 350,000 , subject to adjustment, and (ii) removed the Evergreen Provision implemented in the Plan Amendment. During the first quarter of 2024, the Board approved an equitable adjustment to increase the number of shares available under the Plan by 134,779 shares. As of March 31, 2024, the total number of shares available for grant under the Incentive Plan was 3,482 . 12 ENVERIC BIOSCIENCES, INC.

Business Overview We are a biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. Leveraging our unique discovery and development platform, the Psybrary™, we have created a robust intellectual property portfolio of new chemical entities for specific mental health indications. Our lead program, the EVM201 Series, comprises next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. We are developing the first product from the EVM201 Series – EB-002 – for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We are also advancing its second program, the EVM301 Series – EB-003 – expected to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity without also inducing hallucinations in the patient. Psychedelics Following our amalgamation with MagicMed completed in September 2021 (the “Amalgamation”), we have continued to pursue the development of MagicMed’s proprietary psychedelic derivatives library, the Psybrary™ which we believe will help us to identify and develop the right drug candidates needed to address mental health challenges, including anxiety. We synthesize novel versions of classic psychedelics, such as psilocybin, N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline and MDMA, using a mixture of chemistry and synthetic biology, resulting in the expansion of the Psybrary™, which includes 15 patent families with over a million potential variations and hundreds of synthesized molecules. Within the Psybrary™ we have three different types of molecules, Generation 1 (classic psychedelics), Generation 2 (pro-drugs), and Generation 3 (new chemical entities). The Company has created over 1,000 novel psychedelic molecular compounds and derivatives (“Psychedelic Derivatives”) that are housed in the Psybrary™. Our current focus is develop our lead molecules EB-002 and EB-003 and to out-license other molecules from the Psybrary™.

On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of the February 2022 Post-Modification Warrants and RD and PIPE preferred investment options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Existing Warrants and Investment Options”) pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants and Investment Options to purchase 1,122,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, in the aggregate, at a reduced exercised price of $1.37 per share (from an original exercise price of $7.78 per share), in exchange for the Company’s agreement to issue new warrants (the “Inducement Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,244,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Inducement Warrant Shares”), and the Holders to make a cash payment of $0.125 per Inducement Warrant share for total proceeds of $280,500. In January 2024, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,817,640 from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants. Because the Existing Warrants and Investment Options by the Holders and the sale of the Inducement Warrants that exercised on December 28, 2023 and unsettled until January 2024, the proceeds are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a subscription receivable as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, 418,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were considered issued as the Company had the enforceable right to the obtain the cash proceeds, which were in-transit, and the Holders were no longer able to rescind the exercise election. Due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions, 704,000 shares of the Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised were initially unissued and held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until notice is received from the Holder that the shares may be issued in compliance with such limitation. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued all 704,000 shares of common stock of the 704,000 shares of Existing Warrants and Investment Options exercised that were held in abeyance due to the beneficial ownership limitation provisions. On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders of warrants and preferred investment options. The Inducement Letters prohibit the Company from entering into any variable rate transaction as defined in the Inducement Letters, including the issuance of (1) any variable priced debt or equity securities or (2) transactions whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price, such as through an at-the-market offering or an equity line of credit. The variable rate transaction restriction expires after six-month from the closing date of December 28, 2023 for the Inducement Letters for an issuance through an at-the-market offering, and one-year for the remaining variable rate transactions. On March 8, 2024, the Company entered into a series of common stock purchase agreements for the issuance in a registered direct offering of 228,690 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share to the Holders of the Inducement Warrants. The issuance was made in exchange for the permanent and irrevocable waiver of the variable rate transaction limitation solely with respect to the entry into and/or issuance of shares of common stock in an at the market offering contained in the Inducement Letters. The fair value of the shares issued for consideration of waiving the variable rate transaction limitation was $322,453 and was charged to additional paid in capital on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as an offering cost related to the Distribution Agreement. Inducement Warrants On February 29, 2024, a Holder of the Inducement Warrants, exercised 1,954,000 Inducement Warrants at an exercise price of $1.37 per share for 1,954,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for total gross proceeds of $2,676,980. 17 Results of Operations The following table sets forth information comparing the components of net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Operating expenses General and administrative $ 1,933,753 $ 2,948,400 Research and development 458,155 1,825,792 Depreciation and amortization 85,409 86,486 Total operating expenses 2,477,317 4,860,678 Loss from operations (2,477,317 ) (4,860,678 ) Other (expense) income Change in fair value of warrant liabilities 10,039 50,657 Change in fair value of investment option liability 11,398 119,505 Change in fair value of derivative liability — 13,000 Interest income (expense), net 696 (11 ) Total other income 22,133 183,151 Net loss before income taxes $ (2,455,184 ) $ (4,677,527 ) Income tax expense (1,731 ) 0 Net loss $ (2,456,915 ) $ (4,677,527 ) General and Administrative Expense s Our general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,933,753 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $2,948,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,014,647, or 34%. This change was primarily driven by decreases in consulting expenses of $339,912, salaries and wages of $235,940, stock compensation expense of $154,654 and accounting fees of $79,031, all primarily related to the second quarter 2023 reduction in force and no longer pursuing the transfer and spin-off its cannabinoid clinical development pipeline assets to Akos Biosciences, Inc. , and Delaware franchise taxes of $196,826 partially offset by an increase in director fees of $134,875. Research and Development Expenses Our research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $458,155 as compared to $1,825,792 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 with a decrease of $1,367,637, or approximately 75%. This decrease was primarily driven by a decrease salaries and wages of $765,365, research costs of $323,973 and the gain realized related to the Australian R&D tax incentive of $399,987. Depreciation and Amortization Expense Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $85,409 as compared to $86,486 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, with a decrease of $1,077, or approximately 1%. 18 Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities Change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted in income of $10,039 as compared to $50,657 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is due to the exercise of 122,000 of warrants on December 28, 2023, resulting in less warrants outstanding and re-valued at March 31, 2024, as well as, 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. Change in Fair Value of Investment Option Liability Change in fair value of investment option liability the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted in income of $11,398 as compared to $119,505 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The change in fair value is due to the exercise of 1,000,000 investment options on December 28, 2023, resulting in less investment options re-valued at March 31, 2024 and a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability The Company’s change in fair value of derivative liability is due to the May 2023 redemption which ceased the probability of occurrence of the Akos spin-off and Akos Series A Preferred Stock redemption. Going Concern, Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has incurred a loss since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $98,956,433 as of March 31, 2024 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. Further, the Company had operating cash outflows of $2,598,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had a loss from operations of $2,477,317. Since inception, being a research and development company, the Company has not yet generated revenue and the Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations. The Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, the Company monitors and analyzes its cash and its ability to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to support its operating and capital expenditure commitments. At March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $6,356,036 and working capital of $5,860,884. The Company’s current cash on hand is insufficient to satisfy its operating cash needs for the 12 months following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plan to alleviate the conditions that raise substantial doubt include raising additional working capital through public or private equity or debt financings or other sources, the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park, subject to registration, and may include additional collaborations with third parties as well as disciplined cash spending. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient additional capital, the Company may be required to undertake cost-cutting measures including delaying or discontinuing certain operating activities. As a result of these factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Cash Flows Since inception, we have primarily used our available cash to fund our product development and operations expenditures. 19 Cash Flows for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023: The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the years presented: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 2023 Net cash used in operating activities $ (2,598,347 ) $ (5,137,009 ) Net cash used in investing activities — (5,169 ) Net cash provided by financing activities 6,658,269 — Effect of Foreign Exchange Rate on Changes on Cash 8,137 (19,893 ) Net increase (decrease) in cash $ 4,068,059 $ (5,162,071 ) Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities was $2,598,347 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which consisted primarily of a net loss adjusted for non-cash items of $2,041,455 and an increase in prepaid expenses of $759,289, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $202,397.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Critical Accounting Estimates Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, costs and expenses and related disclosures. Our critical accounting estimates are those estimates that involve a significant level of uncertainty at the time the estimate was made, and changes in them have had or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Our most critical accounting estimate includes determining the accruals associated with third party providers supporting research and development efforts. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. 20 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk From inception through March 31, 2024, the Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar while the functional currency of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. For the reporting periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company engaged in a number of transactions denominated in Canadian dollars and Australian dollars. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and Australian dollar against 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. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The matters that management identified in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, continued to exist and were still considered material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting at March 31, 2024. As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Based on this evaluation, and in light of the material weaknesses found in our internal controls over financial reporting, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of March 31, 2024. Management’s Remediation Plan As previously discussed in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023, management had concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023, because management identified inadequate segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review, and authorization of all transactions, including non-routine transactions resulting in deficiencies, which, in aggregate, amounted to a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As of March 31, 2024, there were control deficiencies that constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Management has taken, and is taking steps to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting: we have conducted evaluation of the material weakness to determine the appropriate remedy and have established procedures for documenting disclosures and disclosure controls. While we have taken certain actions to address the material weaknesses identified, additional measures may be necessary as we work to improve the overall effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting Other than the changes discussed above in the Remediation Plan, there have been no other changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during quarter ending March 31, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 21 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company may be periodically involved in legal proceedings, legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Item 1A. Risk Factors Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 26, 2024. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations of financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report. Item 2.
