highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital
resources for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes

Results of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
During our fiscal year ended
December 31, 2021, we generated revenues of $228,426, compared to revenues of $71,410 in 2020. All of these revenues were generated from
our nutritional supplements operations which we launched in the first quarter of 2019. The cost of sales in 2021 and 2020 for generating
these revenues was $117,830 and $25,847, respectively.
General and administrative
expenses for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 were $2,550,730, compared to $622,437 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020,
an increase of $1,928,293. The increase was a result of an overall increase in business activities including approximately $670,000 in
new R&D expenditure.
20
We also incurred $328,818
in interest expense and $9,726,485 in losses from debt conversion in 2021 compared to $168,105 in interest expense and $2,057,513 in losses
from debt conversion during the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in interest expense and losses from debt conversion in 2021
was due to a much larger amount of debt financing conducted in 2021. On February 17, 2022 we repaid all outstanding debt.
As a result, we incurred a
net loss of $12,437,447 in 2021 (approximately $4.76 per share), compared to a net loss of $2,784,091 (approximately $2.73 per share)
for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021,
we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,045,167.
On February 17, 2022, we completed
an underwritten public offering of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of $8 million. We received net proceeds of approximately
$6.8 million from the offering.
On March 14, 2022, we completed
a private placement of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of $8 million. We received net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million
from the private placement.
During the year ended December
31, 2021, we issued a total of 559,144 shares of our common stock valued at $12,705,214 for the conversion of outstanding notes payable,
reducing the debt by $2,867,243 and interest payable by $127,986 and generating a loss on conversion of $9,726,485.
During the year ended December
31, 2021, we did not sell any of our capital stock for cash; however we entered into the following new debt arrangements:
·
On January 12, 2021, we issued a note in the principal amount of $150,000 with interest accruing at 5% per year, due January 12, 2023. The note was convertible after 180 days from issuance into common stock at a price of $0.30 per share. This note was converted to common stock on December 20, 2021.

On April 20, 2021, we issued a note in the principal amount of $500,000 with interest accruing at 5% per year, due April 20, 2023. The note was convertible after 180 days from issuance into common stock at a price of $0.30 per share. We repaid this note following the closing of our public offering in February 2022.

The note was convertible after 180 days from issuance into common stock at a price of $0.30 per share. We repaid this note following the closing of our public offering in February 2022.

21
As of December 31, 2020, we
had cash and cash equivalents of $989,888.
Net cash used in operating
activities was $1,829,128 in 2021 compared to $657,299 in during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. We anticipate that our cash
requirements for our operations will increase in the future before we reach profitability levels, of which there is no assurance.
Cash flows used in investing
activities were $0 during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $1,191 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Net
cash flows provided by financing activities were $2,904,675 in 2021, compared to $1,608,253 in 2020. The increase was primarily a result
of an increase in proceeds from the issuance of notes in 2021.
We are not generating adequate
revenues from our operations to fully implement our business plan as set forth herein. On February 17, 2022, we received net proceeds
of approximately $6.8 million from the sale of common stock and warrants in an underwritten public offering. On March 14, 2022, we received
net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million from the sale of common stock and warrants in a private placement. We believe our existing
cash, including from our recently completed public offering and private placement, will be sufficient to fund our operations, including
general and administrative expenses, expanded research and development activities, and nutritional supplement business, for the next 24
months. There is no assurance our estimates will be accurate. We have no committed sources of capital and we anticipate that we will
need to raise additional capital in the future, including for further research and development activities. Additional capital may not
be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates
under different assumptions or conditions.
Leases
We follow the guidance in
ASC 842 “ Accounting for Leases ,” as amended, which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements we enter into to determine
whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease. Our Company is not party to any lease agreements. Our
corporate offices in Pointe-Claire, Quebec (Canada) are on a month-to-month, pay-per-use basis under a contract with Regus. Our arrangement
in connection with this office has no short-term or long-term asset or liability value.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2020, the FASB
issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant
to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842) which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13
and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.
The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate a material
impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives
and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40) , (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies
the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and
contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any
off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes
in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be
considered material to investors.
