REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Immix Biopharma, Inc.
Opinion
on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Immix Biopharma,
Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations
and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2021,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis
for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with
the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part
of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Immix
Biopharma, Inc.
Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note
1 – Nature of Business
Immix
Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company organized as a Delaware corporation on January
7, 2014 to focus on the development of safe and effective therapies for patients with cancer and inflammatory diseases. In August 2016,
the Company established a wholly-owned Australian subsidiary, Immix Biopharma Australia Pty Ltd. (“IBAPL”), in order to conduct
various preclinical and clinical activities for its development candidates.
Note
2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.
Risk
and Uncertainties - The Company operates in a dynamic and highly competitive industry and is subject to risks and uncertainties common
to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry, including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological
innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, contract manufacturer and contract research organizations,
compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under
development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical studies and clinical
trials and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate
personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance and reporting. The Company believes that changes in any of the following areas could
have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; ability to obtain
future financing; advances and trends in new technologies and industry standards; results of clinical trials; regulatory approval and
market acceptance of the Company’s products; development of sales channels; certain strategic relationships; litigation or claims
against the Company based on intellectual property, patent, product, regulatory, or other factors; and the Company’s ability to
attract and retain employees necessary to support its growth.
Products
developed by the Company require approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other international regulatory
agencies prior to commercial sales. There can be no assurance that the Company’s research and development will be successfully
completed, that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained or maintained, that the products will
receive the necessary approvals, or that any approved products will be commercially viable. If the Company was denied approval, approval
was delayed or the Company was unable to maintain approval, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company. Even if the Company’s
product development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate revenue from product sales. The
Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees, consultants and other third parties.
Beginning
in late 2019, the outbreak of a novel strain of virus named SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2), or
coronavirus, which causes coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, evolved into a global pandemic. The extent of the impact of the
coronavirus outbreak on the Company’s business will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the
outbreak and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s clinical trial activities, research activities and
suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which the coronavirus outbreak may
materially impact the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations is uncertain. The Company has expended
and will continue to expend substantial funds to complete the research, development and clinical testing of product candidates. The
Company will also be required to expend additional funds to establish commercial-scale manufacturing arrangements and to
provide for the marketing and distribution of products that receive regulatory approval. The Company may require additional funds to
commercialize its products. The Company is unable to entirely fund these efforts with its current financial resources. If adequate
funds are unavailable on a timely basis from operations or additional sources of financing, the Company may have to delay, reduce
the scope of or eliminate one or more of its research or development programs which may materially and adversely affect its
business, financial condition and operations.
F- 7
Use
of Estimates in Financial Statement Presentation - The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
The Company uses significant judgements when making estimates related to the valuation of deferred tax assets and related valuation
allowances, accrual and prepayment of research and development expenses, valuation of stock-based compensation, and the valuation of
derivative financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Forward
Stock Split – On October 4, 2021, the Company effected a 3-for-1 forward stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock.
Accordingly, all share and per-share amounts relating to the common stock, stock options and warrants for all periods presented in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted, where applicable, to reflect the forward stock split.
Principles
of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Immix Biopharma, Inc. and the
accounts of its 100% owned subsidiary, IBAPL. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Liquidity
and Going Concern - These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes
the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of
the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain financing to continue operations. In December
2021, the Company received $ 18,648,934
in net proceeds from the initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock (see Note 5). In January 2022, the Company
raised additional net proceeds of $ 2,913,750
from the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option in connection with the Company’s IPO (See Note 8). The
Company has a history of, and expects to continue to report, negative cash flows from operations and a net loss. Management believes
that its cash on hand at December 31, 2021 and the net proceeds received in
January 2022 will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements through at least March 31, 2023.
Concentration
of Credit Risk - Periodically, the Company may carry cash balances at financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit
of $ 250,000 , or the Australian insured limit of AUD 250,000 . As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $ 17,365,222 in excess of the FDIC
insurance limit and no amounts in excess of the Australian insured limit. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and
management believes, based upon the quality of the financial institutions, that the credit risk with regard to these deposits is not
significant.
Equipment
–
Equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful lives using the straight-line depreciation method as follows:
Schedule
of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives
Computer
equipment
3
years
Machinery
and equipment
5
years
Furniture
and office equipment
7
years
Repairs
and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets – The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of a long-lived asset is measured by comparison
of the carrying amount to the expected future undiscounted cash flows that the asset is expected to generate. Any impairment to be recognized
is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
F- 8
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying value of short-term instruments, including cash, tax receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Derivative instruments are carried at fair value based on unobservable market inputs (see Note 4).
Fair
value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The
Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:
Level
1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level
2 – inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs
that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level
3 – inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.
Prior
to the conversion of the convertible notes payable in December 2021, the Company was required to measure and record its derivative instruments
at fair value on a recurring basis (see Notes 3 and 4).
Derivative
Instruments – The Company evaluated its convertible notes to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts
qualified as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815,
Derivatives and Hedging . The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the embedded derivative is marked to
market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in
fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other income or expense. Upon conversion
or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified
to equity.
In
circumstances where the embedded conversion option in a convertible instrument is required to be bifurcated and there are also other
embedded derivative instruments in the convertible instrument that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments
are accounted for as a single, compound derivative instrument.
The
Company determined that the convertible notes contained embedded features that provided the noteholders with multiple settlement alternatives.
Certain of these settlement features provided the noteholders the right to receive cash or a variable number of shares upon the completion
of a capital raising transaction, change of control or default by the Company, which are referred to as “redemption features.”
The
redemption features of the convertible notes met the requirements for separate accounting and were accounted for as a single
derivative instrument. The derivative instrument was recorded at fair value at inception and was subject to remeasurement to fair
value at each balance sheet date, with any changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive loss (see Notes 3 and 4).
Income
Taxes – The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of reported assets and liabilities
and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
must then assess the likelihood that the resulting deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is provided when it is
more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The
Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740-10 which prescribes a recognition threshold
and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, on its tax return. The
Company evaluates and records any uncertain tax positions based on the amount that management deems is more likely than not to be sustained
upon examination and ultimate settlement with the tax authorities in the tax jurisdictions in which it operates.
F- 9
Australian
Tax Incentive –- IBAPL is eligible to receive a cash refund from the Australian Taxation Office for eligible research and development
(“R&D”) expenditures under the Australian R&D Tax Incentive Program (the “Australian Tax Incentive”).
The Australian Tax Incentive is recognized as a reduction to R&D expense when there is reasonable assurance that the relevant expenditure
has been incurred, the amount can be reliably measured and that the Australian Tax Incentive will be received. The Company recognized
reductions to R&D expense of $ 79,978 and $ 212,521 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Stock-Based
Compensation – Stock-based compensation expense represents the estimated grant date fair value of the Company’s equity
awards, consisting of stock options issued under the Company’s stock option plan and restricted common stock (see Note 5). The
fair value of equity awards is recognized over the requisite service period of such awards (usually the vesting period) on a straight-line
basis. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant and recognizes
forfeitures as they occur. For stock awards for which vesting is subject to performance-based milestones, the expense is recorded over
the remaining service period after the point when the achievement of the milestone is probable, or the performance condition has been
achieved.
Patent
Costs – Although the Company believes that its patents have continuing value, the amount of future benefits to be derived from
the patents is uncertain. Accordingly, patent costs are expensed as incurred.
Advertising
Costs – The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs were not significant during the years ended December
31, 2021 and 2020.
Research
and Development Costs –- R&D costs consist primarily of clinical research fees paid to consultants and
outside service providers, and other expenses relating to design, development and testing of the Company’s therapy candidates.
R&D costs are expensed as incurred.
Clinical
trial costs are a component of R&D expenses. The Company estimates expenses incurred for clinical trials that are
in process based on services performed under contractual agreements with clinical research organizations and actual clinical investigators.
Included in the estimates are (1) the fee per patient enrolled as specified in the clinical trial contract with each institution participating
in the clinical trial and (2) progressive data on patient enrollments obtained from participating clinical trial sites and the actual
services performed. Changes in clinical trial assumptions, such as the length of time estimated to enroll all patients, rate of screening
failures, patient drop-out rates, number and nature of adverse event reports, and the total number of patients enrolled can impact the
average and expected cost per patient and the overall cost of the clinical trial. The Company monitors the progress of the trials and
their related activities and adjusts expense accruals, when applicable. Adjustments to accruals are charged to expense in the period
in which the facts give rise to the adjustments become known.
Other
Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation gains and losses. The
cumulative amount of translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) in the
consolidated balance sheets, as accumulated other comprehensive income.
Foreign
Currency Translation and Transaction Gains (Losses) –- The Company maintains its accounting records in U.S. dollars.
The Company’s operating subsidiary, IBAPL, is located in Australia and maintains its accounting records in Australian dollars,
which is its functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the
balance sheet date, equity accounts are translated at historical exchange rate and revenues and expenses are translated by using the
average exchange rates for the period. Translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income
(loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Foreign currency denominated transactions are translated
at exchange rates approximating those in effect at the transaction dates. Exchange gains (losses) are recognized in earnings and
were $( 6,093 )
and $ 3,681
for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
F- 10
Loss
Per Common Share – - Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by
the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is determined using the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock
equivalents. In periods when losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock
equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s potentially
dilutive shares and options, which were not included in the calculation of net loss per share, included stock options and warrants
exercisable for 1,686,984
and 291,984
common shares, respectively.
Emerging
Growth Company Status - The Company is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our
Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not EGCs. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions until it is no longer
an EGC under Section 107 of the JOBS Act and has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting
standards. As a result of this election, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with

Convertible
Notes
On
September 1, 2016, the Company entered into a secured convertible promissory note, as amended, with an entity affiliated with a
stockholder of the Company for aggregate borrowings of $ 3,000,000
(as amended, “2016 Note”). The 2016 Note was scheduled to mature on March
31, 2022 , and accrued interest at the applicable federal rate per annum. The 2016 Note was secured by (i) all of the
Company’s purchased equipment (to the extent not already encumbered) and (ii) any amounts received as a tax rebate or
incentive during the term of the 2016 Note. On December 20, 2021, the outstanding principal and accrued interest were converted into
shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO (see below). As of December 31, 2020, the
outstanding principal balance on the 2016 Note was $ 3,000,000 .
On
October 30, 2018, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $ 250,000
(as amended, “2018 Note”). The 2018 Note was scheduled to mature on March
31, 2022 , and accrued interest at a rate of 4 %
per annum. On December 20, 2021, the outstanding principal and accrued interest were converted into shares of the Company’s
common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO (see below). As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance on
the 2018 Note was $ 250,000 .
On
October 30, 2019, the Company entered into a series of unsecured convertible promissory notes (as amended, “2019 Notes”)
in the aggregate principal amount of $ 800,000 .
The 2019 Notes were scheduled to mature on March
31, 2022 and accrued interest at a rate of 6 %
per annum. On December 20, 2021, the outstanding principal and accrued interest was converted into shares of the Company’s
common stock in connection with the Company’s IPO (see below). As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding principal balance on
the 2019 Notes was $ 800,000 .
F- 11
In
March and April 2021, the Company issued a series of unsecured convertible promissory notes (“2021A Notes”) in the
aggregate principal amount of $260,000 to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Alwaysraise LLC, an entity in which the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer is the sole member . Of the $ 260,000 principal
amount, the Company received $ 200,000 in
cash proceeds and issued a $ 60,000 note
in exchange for services. The 2021A Notes were scheduled to mature on March
1, 2023 , and accrued interest at a rate of 6 % per
annum. In connection with the issuance of the 2021A Notes, the Company issued ten-year warrants to purchase 156,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $ 0.80 per
share. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following inputs: an expected and contractual
life of 10 years,
an assumed volatility of 117% ,
a zero dividend
rate, and a risk free rate of 1.70 % .
The relative fair value of the warrants amounting to $ 74,603 was
recorded to debt discount and was amortized to interest expense through the date of the Company’s IPO, at which time the
outstanding principal and accrued interest was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock (see below).
The
2016 Note, 2018 Note, 2019 Notes and 2021A Notes are collectively referred to as the “Notes.” In the event that the Company
issued and sold shares of its equity securities (“Equity Securities”) to investors (the “Investors”) prior to
the maturity dates of the Notes in an equity financing with total proceeds to the Company of not less than $ 10,000,000 (including the
conversion of the Notes, other indebtedness or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes (e.g., Simple Agreements
for Future Equity)) (a “ Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and any unpaid accrued
interest would automatically convert in whole without any further action by the holders into Equity Securities sold in the Qualified
Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid per share for Equity Securities by the Investors in the Qualified
Financing multiplied by 0.80, and (ii) the quotient resulting from dividing $ 10,000,000 by the number of pre-split outstanding shares
of the common stock of the Company immediately prior to the Qualified Financing (assuming conversion of all securities convertible into
common stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, including all shares of common stock reserved and available for future
grant under any equity incentive or similar plan of the Company, and/or any equity incentive or similar plan created or increased in
connection with Qualified Financing, and including the shares of equity securities of the Company issued for capital raising purposes
(e.g., Simple Agreements for Future Equity)). The issuance of Equity Securities pursuant to the conversion of the Notes were subject
to the same terms and conditions applicable to Equity Securities sold in the Qualified Financing.
Upon
the occurrence of a change of control prior to a Qualified Financing or maturity, the 2019 Notes and the 2021A Notes would upon the election
of the holders either (i) become due and payable upon closing of such change of control in cash in an amount equal to (a) the outstanding
principal amount plus any unpaid accrued interest, plus (b) a repayment premium equal to 200% of the outstanding principal amount, or
(ii) be converted such that the outstanding principal balance and any unpaid accrued interest would convert into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a conversion price equal to the quotient resulting from dividing $ 10,000,000 by the number of outstanding shares of common
stock of the Company immediately prior to the change of control (assuming conversion of all securities convertible into common stock
and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants, and including the shares of equity securities of the Company issuable upon the
conversion of notes, other indebtedness or other convertible securities issued for capital raising purposes).
On
December 20, 2021, in connection with the Company’s IPO, which was deemed a Qualified Financing, the Notes along with the
corresponding accrued interest, were automatically converted into an aggregate of 5,633,689
shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of the conversion, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of
$ 86,170 .
The
Notes contained embedded derivative instruments, including automatic conversion into equity securities upon completion of a Qualified
Financing, that were required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a single derivative instrument initially and subsequently
measured at fair value with the change in fair value recorded in other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive loss. The Company determined that the issuance date fair values of the derivative instruments for the 2016
Note, 2018 Note, and 2019 Notes, was nominal based on its assumptions of probabilities of a Qualified Financing or change of control
transaction. For the 2021A Notes issued during March and April 2021, the Company recorded the fair value of the derivative instruments
of $80,000, as a debt discount on the issuance dates which was amortized to interest expense through the date of the Company’s
IPO, at which time the 2021A Notes were converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. During the years ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, the Company recognized expense of $ 22,759,829
and $ 575,000 ,
respectively, related to the change in fair value of the derivative instruments. Upon the conversion of the Notes, the Company reclassified
the estimated fair value of the derivative liability of $ 23,414,829
to additional paid-in capital. At December
31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the derivative instruments was $ 575,000.
Interest
expense related to the Notes was $ 118,904 and $ 99,824 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31,
2021 and 2020, accrued interest on the Notes was $ 0 and $ 334,988 , respectively. Amortization of the debt discounts related to the 2021A
Notes was $ 58,157 for the year ended December 31, 2021.
F- 12
Note
Payable – Related Party
On
September 14, 2014, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $ 50,000
to a stockholder of the Company. The note matured on September
14, 2017 and accrued interest at a rate of 2.5 %
per annum. On June 9, 2021, the note was amended to extend the maturity date to September
14, 2022 . As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the outstanding principal balance on this note was $ 50,000 .
Interest
expense related to the Note was $ 1,250 and $ 1,253 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021
and 2020, accrued interest on the Notes was $ 9,099 and $ 7,849 , respectively.

4 – Fair Value Measurements
The

The
fair value of the embedded derivative instrument identified in the Notes has been estimated using a two-step approach to valuation, employing
a probability-weighted scenario valuation method and then comparing the instrument’s value with-and-without the derivative features
in order to estimate their combined fair value, using unobservable inputs, which are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
In order to estimate the fair value of the Notes, the Company estimated the future payoff in each scenario, discounted them to a present
value and then probability weighted them based upon the Company’s best likelihood of each event occurring. The primary inputs for
the valuation approach included the probability of achieving various settlement scenarios that provide the noteholders the rights or
the obligations to receive cash or a variable number of shares upon the completion of a Qualified Financing. At December 31, 2020, the
Company estimated a 5% probability of a Qualified Financing occurring, a de minimis probability of a change of control occurring and
a 20% probability of bankruptcy or dissolution of the Company. As of December 31, 2020, the embedded derivative was remeasured to $ 575,000 .
As such, an expense of $ 575,000 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2020. Immediately prior to the conversion of the Notes in connection
with the Company’s IPO, the Company estimated a 100% probability of a Qualified Financing occurring, a de minimis probability of
a change of control occurring and a 0% probability of bankruptcy or dissolution of the Company. Accordingly, the estimated fair value
of the embedded derivative was remeasured at $ 23,414,829 . A loss of $ 22,759,829 related to the change in fair value of the derivative
liability was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 categories
in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

5 – Stockholders’ Equity
The
Company has authorized 200,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock each with a par value of $ 0.0001 per
share.
On
December 20, 2021, the Company closed its IPO of 4,200,000
shares of its common stock offered at a price of $ 5.00
per share for gross proceeds of $ 21,000,000 .
In connection with the IPO, the Company paid $ 2,351,066
in offering costs resulting in net proceeds of $ 18,648,934 .
On
December 20, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Notes along with the related accrued interest, were automatically converted into
an aggregate of 5,633,689
shares of the Company’s common stock.
On
December 20, 2021, the Company issued 20,000 shares
of restricted common stock to an unrelated third party for entering into an investor relations contract. The stock was valued at a
share price of $ 5.00 , the closing price of the Company’s common stock on date of issuance, for a total value of $ 59,000 related to services which is included in
general and administrative expenses.
Fair
Value of Common Stock – prior to establishing a public market
Prior
to establishing a public market for the Company’s common stock, the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined by the Company’s board of directors
as of the date of each option grant, with input from management, considering the Company’s most recently available third-party valuations of common
stock, and the Company’s board of directors’ assessment of additional objective and subjective factors that it believed were relevant and
which may have changed from the date of the most recent valuation through the date of the grant.
Third-party
valuations were performed in accordance with the guidance outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Accounting
and Valuation Guide, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation . The Company’s common stock valuations
were prepared using a hybrid method that incorporated elements of both a probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”)
and an option pricing method (“OPM”).
The
OPM was based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which allows for the identification of a range of possible future outcomes.
The OPM treats common stock and convertible instruments as call options on the total equity value of a company, with exercise prices
based on the value thresholds at which the allocation among the various holders of a company’s securities changes. A discount for
lack of marketability of the common stock was applied to arrive at an indication of value for the common stock.
PWERM
involves a forward-looking analysis of the possible future outcomes of the enterprise. This method is particularly useful when discrete
future outcomes can be predicted at a relatively high confidence level with a probability distribution. Discrete future outcomes considered
under the PWERM included an initial public offering, as well as non-initial public offering market-based outcomes. Determining the fair
value of the enterprise using the PWERM required the Company to develop assumptions and estimates for both the probability of an initial
public offering liquidity event and stay private outcomes, as well as the values the Company expected those outcomes could yield.
F- 14
Prior
to establishing a public trading market for the Company’s capital stock, the Company’s board of directors exercised reasonable judgment
and considered a number of objective and subjective factors to determine its estimate of the fair value of the Company’s common stock,
including changes in the following factors between the date of the valuation and the grant date:
●
the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including related industry trends affecting the Company’s operations;
●
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or sale of the Company, given prevailing market conditions;
●
the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock;
●
the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and
●
U.S. and global economic and capital market conditions and outlook.
The
assumptions underlying the Company’s board of directors’ valuations represented the board’s best estimates, which involved inherent
uncertainties and the application of the board’s judgment. As a result, if factors or expected outcomes had changed or the Company’s board
of directors had used significantly different assumptions or estimates, the Company’s equity-based compensation expense could have been materially
different. Following the completion of the Company’s IPO, the Company’s board of directors will determine the fair value of the Company’s common stock based on the
quoted market prices of the Company’s common stock.
Stock
Options
In
2016, the board of directors of the Company approved the Immix Biopharma, Inc. 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016
Plan”). The 2016 Plan allows for the board of directors to grant various forms of incentive awards covering up to 417,120
shares of the Company’s common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the board of directors amended the 2016 Plan to
increase the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2016 Plan to 1,761,120
shares of common stock. On September 10, 2021, the board of directors approved the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021
Plan”), reserving 900,000
shares of the Company’s common stock for future issuance under the 2021 Plan. As of December 31, 2021, there were an aggregate of 1,340,136
shares of the Company’s common stock remaining for issuance under the 2016 Plan and 2021 Plan.
During
the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company granted options to purchase 736,500
shares of the Company’s common stock to officers of the Company, and options to purchase 292,500
shares of the Company’s common stock to members of the board of directors and scientific advisors of the Company. The exercise
price of the options is $ 0.80 -$ 1.86
and the options expire ten
years following grant. The
options vest in equal monthly installments beginning on the grant date ranging from 24 to 48 months .
The
Company estimated the fair value of the stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options is
being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite vesting period of the awards. The fair value of stock options was estimated
using the following assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2021: an expected and contractual life of 10 years, an assumed volatility
of 117 %- 128 %, a zero dividend rate, a risk free rate of 1.37 %- 1.74 %, and fair value of common stock of $ 0.83 . The Company recognized
stock-based compensation of $ 159,983 related to stock options for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is included in general and
administrative expenses.

6 – Income Taxes
The
Company is subject to taxation in the United States, California and Australia. At December 31, 2021, the Company had federal, state, and
foreign net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $ 1,875,000 , $ 1,875,000 and $ 680,000 , respectively. The
federal loss carryforwards generated after 2017 of approximately $ 1,270,000 will carryforward indefinitely and can be used to offset
up to 80% of future annual taxable income, while those loss carryforwards generated prior to 2018 begin expiring in 2034, unless previously
utilized . State loss carryforwards also begin expiring in 2034, unless previously utilized , while the Company’s foreign loss carryforward
do not expire . The Company also has federal and California R&D credit carryforwards totaling $ 11,697 and $ 20,905 ,
respectively. The Federal credits begin to expire in 2026, unless previously utilized , while the state credits do not expire . The Company
also has foreign withholding tax carryforwards totaling $ 63,058 at December 31, 2021. The foreign withholding tax carryforward credit
begins to expire in 2028, unless previously utilized .
The
Company’s NOL and credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to a substantial annual limitation as a result
of ownership changes that could occur in the future pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383. These ownership changes may
limit the amount of NOL and credit carryforwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income and income tax, respectively. In
general, an “ownership change” as defined by the tax code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year
period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percent of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders or public
groups.
The
Company’s federal income tax returns from 2014 forward, state income tax returns from 2014 forward, and its Australian tax returns
beginning in 2017 are subject to examination by tax authorities.
A
reconciliation of the provision for income taxes to the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to the loss
from operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Realization
of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Management assesses the
available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use existing deferred tax
assets. Based on the weight of available evidence, including the Company’s history of operating losses, management has determined
that it is more likely than not that the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance
has been established by the Company to fully offset these net deferred tax assets.
For
the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, domestic and foreign pre-tax losses were as follows:

7 – Commitments and Contingencies
Indemnifications
In
the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties
and may provide for indemnification of the counterparty. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves
claims that may be made against it in the future but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not been subject to any claims
or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations.
The
Company indemnifies each of its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the director
is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its certificate
of incorporation and bylaws. The term of the indemnification period lasts as long as the director or officer may be subject to any proceeding
arising out of acts or omissions of such individual in such capacity. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited.
The Company believes that the fair value of these indemnification obligations is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized
any liabilities relating to these obligations as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Legal
Proceedings
From
time to time we may be involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims
cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not currently have any pending litigation to which we are a party or to which our property
is subject that we believe to be material. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, and it can divert
management’s attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting our overall operations.
