Basis of Presentation – Going Concern Uncertainties ProtoKinetix, Incorporated (the “Company”), a development stage company, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 23, 1999. The Company is a medical research company whose mission is the advancement of human health care. The Company is currently researching the benefits and feasibility of synthesized Antifreeze Glycoproteins (“AFGP”) or anti-aging glycoproteins, trademarked AAGP. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company acquired certain patents and rights for cash consideration of $ 30,000 (25,000 Euros), as well as additional patent applications for cash consideration of $ 10,000 and 6,000,000 share purchase warrants with a fair value of $ 25,000 (Note 4). The Company’s financial statements are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern. The Company has not developed a commercially viable product, has not generated any significant revenue to date, and has incurred losses since inception, resulting in a net accumulated deficit at September 30,2023. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company needs additional working capital to continue its medical research or to be successful in any future business activities and continue to pay its liabilities. Therefore, continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. Management is presently engaged in seeking additional working capital through equity financing or related party loans. In addition, any significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, could negatively affect our liquidity and ability to continue operations. The exact impact is and will remain unknown and largely dependent upon future developments, including but not limited to changes in customer demand, additional mitigation strategies proposed by governmental authorities (including federal, state, or local stay at home or similar orders), restrictions on the activities of our domestic and international suppliers and shipment of goods. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and is unable to operate for the coming year. Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed, or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 17, 2023, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. 7 PROTOKINETIX, INCORPORATED (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2023 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) Use of Estimates Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The more significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include estimates as to valuation of equity related instruments issued, deferred income taxes, and the useful life and impairment of intangible assets. Cash Cash consists of funds held in checking accounts. Cash balances may exceed federally insured limits from time to time. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments, which includes cash and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities pursuant to ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The policy describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions) Level 1 inputs are used to measure cash. At September 30, 2023, there were no other assets or liabilities subject to additional disclosure. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes following the asset and liability method in accordance with the ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under such method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The Company applies the accounting guidance issued to address the accounting for uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements as well as provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years that the asset is expected to be recovered or the liability settled. 8 PROTOKINETIX, INCORPORATED (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2023 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) Intangible assets – patent and patent application costs The Company owns intangible assets consisting of certain patents and patent applications. Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. As at September 30, 2023, the Company does not hold any intangible assets with indefinite lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization method and amortization period of an intangible asset with a finite life is reviewed at least annually. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the Company’s patents. No amortization is recognized on patent application costs, as amortization of these costs will only commence once the patents have been granted. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Loss per Share and Potentially Dilutive Securities Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. Diluted loss per share takes into consideration common shares outstanding (computed under basic earnings per share) and potentially dilutive securities. The effect of 94,290,000 stock options (September 30, 2022 – 94,690,000 ), and 13,300,000 warrants (September 30, 2022 – 14,800,000 ) were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share at September 30, 2023 for all periods presented because it was anti-dilutive at September 30, 2023 due to the Company’s losses. Share-Based Compensation The Company has granted warrants and options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock to various parties for consulting services. The fair values of the warrants and options issued have been estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Cliff Vesting is used and awards vest on the last day of the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance. 9 PROTOKINETIX, INCORPORATED (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2023 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont’d) Share-Based Compensation (cont’d) Share-based compensation for non-employees in exchange for goods and services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations are also recorded at fair value on the measurement date and accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period. Common stock Common stock issued for non-monetary consideration are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date and classified as equity. The measurement date is defined as the earliest of the date at which the commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the common shares is reached or the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of common stock, units and stock options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects. Related Party Transactions A related party is generally defined as (i) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Certain new accounting pronouncements that have been issued are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements. 10 PROTOKINETIX, INCORPORATED (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2023 Note 3.

The Company and INSA had previously entered into a licensing agreement for the Patents in August 2004. The Patent Assignment transfers all of the Patents and rights associated therewith to the Company upon payment to INSA in the sum of $ 30,000 (25,000 Euros) (paid). During the nine month period September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $ 33,452 (2022 - $ 2,250 ) in amortization expense associated with the Patents Rights. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement with Grant Young for the assignment of his 50% ownership of certain patents and all rights associated therewith (the "Patent Application Rights"). In exchange for the Patent Application Rights, the Company agreed to pay $ 10,000 (paid) and to issue 6,000,000 warrants (issued) to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for a period of five years. The Patent Application Rights had a total fair value of $35,000, which was allocated as $10,000 to the cash consideration paid, with the remaining $25,000 being allocated to the warrant component of the overall consideration. The Company incurred an additional $518,851 in direct costs relating to the Patent Application Rights, $ 34,631 of which were incurred during nine month period ended September 30, 2023. 12 PROTOKINETIX, INCORPORATED (A Development Stage Company) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2023 Note 4. Intangible Assets (cont’d) The remaining 50% ownership of the Patent Application Rights was acquired from the Governors of the University of Alberta in exchange for a future gross revenue royalty from any product developed as a result of research done at the University. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company entered into a Universal Assignment with Grant Young for the assignment of his ownership of certain new and useful improvements in an invention entitled “Use of Anti-Aging Glycoprotein for Enhancing Survival of Neurosensory Precursor Cells” (the “New Patent Application Rights”). In exchange for the New Patent Application Rights, the Company agreed to pay $1 (paid). The Company incurred $ 2,415 in direct costs relating to the New Patent Application Rights during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company amortizes patents and licenses that have been filed over their useful lives which range between 18.5 to 20 years. The costs of provisional patents and pending applications is not amortized until the patent is filed and is reviewed each reporting period. No amortization was recorded on the Patent Application Rights or the New Patent Application Rights to September 30, 2023. Note 5. Stock Options Pursuant to an amendment on March 15, 2022, the aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2017 Stock Option and Stock Bonus Plan (the “2017 Plan”) is 97,700,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided therein.

Business Overview ProtoKinetix, Incorporated is a research and development stage bio-technology company focused on scientific medical research of AFGPs (Anti-Freeze Glycoproteins) or anti-aging glycoproteins, trademarked as AAGP®. The Company has recently been in the process of directing major efforts to the practical side of commercial validation. The commercial applications for AAGP® in large markets such as targeted health care solutions are numerous, and ProtoKinetix is currently working with researchers, business leaders and advisors and commercial entities to bring AAGP® to market. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus Covid-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. As of the date of this filing, the Company has regained a significant portion of its operational capacity and we continue to move forward with our research goals. Our supply of the patented AAGP® molecule has been manufactured and stored in the United States and we have adequate inventory to carry out the projects currently underway. The Company engages contract research organizations (CROs) located in both the United States and Canada. The CROs contracted by the Company for research projects have been able to meet milestone goals without disruption due to the pandemic. In January of 2020, Protokinetix signed a master supply agreement with University of Alberta that clears the way for testing of additional patients in the Phase I clinical trials. The global pandemic halted all work on clinical trials and research testing for most of 2020. Phase I trials were able restart mid-year 2021 but new strains of Covid continue to plague the US and Canada. We cannot accurately predict a completion date of Phase I trials. We continue to monitor the status of the pandemic and will adjust our strategy accordingly in order to mitigate the impact on our research projects. The Company survived the adverse effects of the 2020 Covid outbreak and as at September 30, 2023 continues to carry out operations including raising funds for ongoing research and product development. 19 Results of Operations The following table shows selected financial data and operating results for the periods noted. Following the table, please see management’s discussion of significant changes. For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 2022 EXPENSES Amortization $ 33,452 $ 2,250 General and Administrative 85,018 146,227 Professional Fees 108,581 121,015 Research and Development 75,956 426,968 Share-Based Compensation — 627,192 Net loss for the period $ (303,007 ) $ (1,323,652 ) Gross Profit and Expenses The Company’s net loss was $303,006 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1,323,652 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. The expenses were primarily incurred for professional fees, consulting services related to the operations of the Company’s business, research and development and other general and administrative expenses. Significant changes from the prior nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 include: General and administrative fees dropped by $61,209 from $146,227 to $85,018 primarily as a result of a decrease in spending on social media advertising, and investor relations. Additionally, there are no current year project expenses related to product development and marketing expenses have been significantly reduced. Professional fees decreased by $10,681 from $121,015 to $108,581 due to decreases in legal and filing fees associated with private placement offering and SEC reporting, as well as the reduction in use of outside consultants. Research and development expenditures remain lower year over year with a change of $351,012 from $426,968 to $75,956 as the Company pursues research partners for cost sharing and engages institutes with grants available for continued studies on our patented AAGP molecule. Share-based compensation decreased by $627,192 from $627,192 to $Nil as a result of no further stock options being granted to directors and management of the Company as at September 30,2023. 20 Liquidity and Capital Resources The following summarizes our balance sheet at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Cash $ 12,396 $ 25,550 Working Capital (deficiency) $ 884 $ (14,930 ) At September 30, 2023, we had $12,396 in cash and $13,446 in total current assets and a working capital equity position of $884. Based upon our working capital equity as of September 30, 2023, we will require additional equity and/or debt financing in order to meet cash flow projections and carry forward our business objectives. There can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to raise capital from outside sources in sufficient amounts to fund our new business. The failure to secure adequate outside funding would have an adverse effect on our plan of operation and results therefrom and a corresponding negative impact on stockholder liquidity. Sources and Uses of Cash Net Cash Used in Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities fell by $358,977 from $657,500 to $298,523 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, and 2023, respectively. With the year over year change due to a reduction in accounts payable and significantly less research and development for nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $34,631 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023 while the Company had net cash used in investing activities of $74,556 for the comparative period. Minimal change year-over-year to scheduled maintenance fees on existing international patent portfolio with mid-year fees larger in prior year for the same period. Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $238,200 from $718,200 to $320,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2022, and 2023, respectively. The decrease of funding from private placements through the first nine months of 2023 reflects the focus on finding financial partners for further research and development. Private placement investment has been narrowed to updates and expansions of existing studies. Going Concern The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The history of losses and the inability for the Company to make a profit from selling a good or service has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In spite of the fact that the current cash obligations of the Company are relatively minimal, given the cash position of the Company, we have very little cash to operate. We intend to fund the Company and attempt to meet corporate obligations by selling common stock. However, the price and volume of the Company’s common stock is volatile. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements None. Contractual Obligations As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by paragraph (a)(5) of this Item. 21 Critical Accounting Policies The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a variety of estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (ii) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increase, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates and assumptions based upon actual results may have a material impact on our results of operation and/or financial condition. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q. While all of the significant accounting policies are important to the Company’s financial statements, the following accounting policies and the estimates derived there from have been identified as being critical. Share-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock compensation with persons classified as employees for accounting purposes in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which recognizes awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Cliff Vesting is used and awards vest on the last day of the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The fair value of common shares issued for services is determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance. Share-Based Compensation for non-employees in exchange for goods and services used or consumed in an entity’s own operations are also recorded at fair value on the measurement date and accounted for in accordance with ASC 718. The measurement of share-based compensation is subject to periodic adjustment as the underlying instruments vest. The fair value of stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model and the compensation charges are amortized over the vesting period. Sales and Marketing The Company is currently not selling or marketing any products. Inflation Although management expects that our operations will be influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. 22 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item. Item 4: Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer (who is our principal executive officer), and Chief Financial Officer (who is our principal accounting officer) has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by 1934 Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of September 30, 2023 (the end of the period covered by this report). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms. The Company, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that its internal controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated by the SEC under the 1934 Act) during the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 23 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Other than previously reported, the Company and its management are not aware of any regulatory or legal proceedings or investigations pending involving the Company, any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors or employees. Item 1A. Risk Factors As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this Item. However, our current risk factors are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2023 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 as filed with the SEC on July 14, 2023. War in the Ukraine may impact the business of the Company and the financial markets in which the Company needs to raise capital. Political and military events in Ukraine, including the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as ongoing tensions and intermittent warfare between Ukraine may have an adverse impact on our ability to grow our business. For so long as the hostilities continue and perhaps even thereafter as the situation in Europe unfolds, we may see increased volatility in financial markets and a flight to safety by investors, which may make it more difficult for the Company to raise additional capital at the time when it needs to do so, or for financing to be available upon acceptable terms. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown, instability or recovery. Moreover, retaliatory acts by Russia in response to economic sanctions or other measures taken by the international community could include an increased number or severity of cyber-attacks from Russia or its allies. We are dependent on information technology systems, and any interruption, breach, or security lapse of those systems could adversely affect our results of operations. For example, the loss of data from any clinical trials could result in delays in research and development, and the loss, corruption, or unauthorized disclosure of our trade secrets, patents, or other proprietary information could compromise the commercial viability of our products. We may also incur additional costs in the future related to the implementation of additional security measures to protect against new or enhanced data security and privacy threats, or to comply with state, federal and international laws that may be enacted to address those threats. All or any of these risks separately, or in combination could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation. Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. As a result of inflation, we have experienced and may continue to experience cost increases. Although we may take measures to mitigate the effects of inflation, if these measures are not effective, our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when these beneficial actions impact our results of operations and when the cost of inflation is incurred. 24 Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds Between July 31, 2023 and August 30, 2023, the Company issued 3,250,000 shares of common stock to accredited investors in a private placement for gross proceeds of $65,000, of which, the Company’s President and CEO, Clarence E. Smith, purchased 1,500,000 shares. Each share of common stock had a purchase price of $0.02 per share. No solicitation was used in the offering.
