Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 Note 1 – Description of Business The Company was incorporated under the name Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc. on August 31, 2006, in the State of Colorado. Effective October 15, 2009, the Company acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Upon completion of the reverse acquisition transaction, the Company changed its name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and began operating as a pharmaceutical company. Sunshine Biopharma operates two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian corporation with a portfolio of pharmaceutical products consisting of 52 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada, and (ii) Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), a Canadian corporation which develops and sells nonprescription over-the-counter (“OTC”) products. The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments: · Prescription Generic Pharmaceuticals (“Generic Pharmaceuticals”) · Nonprescription Over-The-Counter Products (“OTC Products) Through March 31, 2024, sales from the Generic Pharmaceuticals segment represented approximately 97 % of total revenues of the Company while the remaining approximately 3 % was generated from the sale of OTC Products. Based on these results, the Company deems segmentation reporting to be immaterial at March 31, 2024. The Company is not subject to material customer concentration risks as it sells its products directly to pharmacies in several Canadian provinces. However, in Canada provincial governments reimburse patients for their prescription drugs expenditures to various degrees under drug reimbursement programs, making generic drugs prices highly dependent on governmental policies which may change over time. The most recent negotiations between the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance and the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association have resulted in updated generic pricing for certain products which took effect on October 1, 2023. The updated prices are valid for three years and the agreement may be extended for an additional two years. On February 29, 2024, the Canadian federal government tabled new drug reimbursement legislation, a bill known as PharmaCare which, if passed, would result in a single-payer program whereby the Canadian federal government would pay for the drugs sold in Canada rather than the Provinces. In addition, the Company is engaged in the development of the following proprietary drugs: · Adva-27a, a small chemotherapy molecule for treatment of pancreatic cancer (IND-enabling studies were paused on November 2, 2023 due to unfavorable results) · K1.1 mRNA, a lipid nano-particle (LNP) targeted for liver cancer · SBFM-PL4, a protease inhibitor for treatment of Coronavirus infections 7 Note 2 – Basis of Presentation The unaudited financial statements of the Company for the three months periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report. On April 17, 2024, the Company completed a 1-for-100 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The share amounts, warrants, and related parameters specified in this report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split on a retroactive basis. Note 3 – Underwritten Public Offering On February 15, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering for gross proceeds of approximately $ 10 million, before deducting fees to the underwriter and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds received by the Company were $ 8,522,411 . The offering consisted of 714,286 Units, consisting of (i) 264,286 Common Units, with each Common Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one-tenth of a Series A warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Series A Warrant”) and two-tenths of a Series B warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Series B Warrant”), and (ii) 450,000 Pre-Funded Units, with each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants”), one-tenth of a Series A Warrant and two-tenths of a Series B Warrant. The public offering price was $14.00 per Common Unit and $13.9 per Pre-Funded Unit. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.10 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. The initial exercise price of each Series A Warrant is $210.00 per share of common stock or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option. Under the alternative cashless exercise provision, which became effective following stockholder approval in March 2024, each Series A Warrant is exercisable on a cashless basis for two shares of common stock. The Series A Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire 30 months after the initial issuance date. The initial exercise price of each Series B Warrant is $238.00 per share of common stock. The Series B Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire 60 months after the initial issuance date. In addition (effective following the stockholder approval), the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants included a provision under which, following a reverse split of the common stock, the exercise price will be adjusted to the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the five trading days immediately preceding and immediately following the date of reverse stock split, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants will be adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants will remain unchanged. The Series B Warrants do not include an alternate cashless exercise provision and can only be exercised for cash so long as the Company’s registration statement for such warrants and underlying shares remains effective. As a result of the Reverse Split, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants has been reduced to $ 1.026 and the number of Series A Warrants has been increased to 16,319,444 . Also as a result of the Reverse Split, the exercise price of Series B Warrants was reduced to $ 1.026 and the number of Series B Warrants increased to 36,990,739 . In addition, the Company granted the underwriter, Aegis Capital Corp. ("Aegis"), a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the total number of shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Series A Warrants and/or Series B Warrants sold in the offering, solely to cover overallotments, if any. On February 15, 2024, Aegis partially exercised its over-allotment option for a total of 8,304 Series A Warrants and 16,607 Series B Warrants. 8 As of March 31, 2024, all of the Pre-Funded Warrants, consisting of 450,000 warrants in total, have been exercised resulting in the Company issuing 450,000 shares of common stock and receiving net proceed of $ 45,000 . The following table sets forth the outstanding warrants, as adjusted, issued in connection with this offering at March 31, 2024: Schedule of securities issued Security Type Number Exercise Price Expiry Date Series A Warrants 16,319,444 * $ 1.026 * August 2026 Series B Warrants 36,990,739 * $ 1.026 * February 2029 * As adjusted and subject to further adjustments per the Warrant Agreements. Note 4 – Acquisition of Nora Pharma Inc. On October 20, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian privately held pharmaceutical company. The purchase price for the shares was $ 18,860,637 (USD), $ 14,346,637 of which was paid in cash and the remainder was paid through the issuance of 37,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $ 4,514,000 or $122.00 per share. Nora Pharma sells generic pharmaceutical products in Canada. Nora Pharma’s operations are authorized by a Drug Establishment License issued by Health Canada. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of October 20, 2022, the acquisition date using Nora Pharma’s balance sheet assets and liabilities: Schedule of allocation of purchase price Accounts receivable $ 1,358,121 Inventory 3,181,916 Intangible assets 659,571 Equipment & furniture 210,503 Other assets 1,105,093 Total assets 6,515,204 Liabilities assumed ( 5,981,286 ) Net assets 533,918 Goodwill 18,326,719 Total Consideration $ 18,860,637 The value of the 37,000 common shares issued as part of the consideration paid for Nora Pharma was determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common shares on the acquisition date, October 20, 2022 ($122.00 per share). 9 The Company impaired 100% of the goodwill amount in 2022 and plans to depreciate the intangible assets as detailed in Note 5 below.

The Company had previously completed three (3) reverse stock splits including a 1-for-200 on February 9, 2022, and two 1-for-20 reverse stock splits, one in 2019 and the other in 2020. The Company’s financial statements included in this report reflect all four reverse stock splits on a retroactive basis for all periods presented and for all references to common stock, unless specifically stated otherwise. 10 Note 7 – Capital Stock The Company’s authorized capital is comprised of 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $ 0.001 , and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $ 0.10 par value. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had authorized 1,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is non-convertible and non-redeemable. It has a liquidation preference equal to the stated value of $0.10, relative to the common stock and gives the holder the right to 1,000 votes per share. As of March 31, 2024, 130,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding and held by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On February 17, 2022, the Company completed a public offering and received net proceeds of $ 6,833,071 from the offering. Pursuant to the public offering, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 18,824 shares of common stock and 41,022 warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Tradeable Warrants”). On February 22, 2022, the Company redeemed 990,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock from the CEO of the Company at a redemption price equal to the stated value of $0.10 per share. The remaining 10,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock could not be voted pursuant to a warrant agent agreement relating to the Tradeable Warrants (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”). On October 12, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of the holders of the outstanding Tradeable Warrants in which the holders of the majority of the outstanding Tradeable Warrants approved an amendment to the Warrant Agent Agreement to eliminate the provision that prohibited the Company’s CEO from exercising his voting rights under the Series B Preferred Stock, as well as to lower the exercise price of the Tradeable Warrants from $222.00 to $11.00. The Company entered into the amendment to the Warrant Agent Agreement on October 18, 2023. On March 14, 2022, the Company completed a private placement and received net proceeds of $ 6,781,199 . In connection with this private placement, the Company issued (i) 23,014 shares of its common stock together with investor warrants (“Investor Warrants”) to purchase up to 23,014 shares of common stock, and (ii) 13,023 pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) with each Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, together with Investor Warrants to purchase up to 130,225 shares of common stock.

The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable, at an exercise price of $0.1, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The Investor Warrants have an exercise price of $222.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrant), are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. On April 28, 2022, the Company completed another private placement and received net proceeds of $ 16,752,915 . In connection with this private placement, the Company issued (i) 24,728 shares of its common stock together with warrants (“April Warrants”) to purchase up to 49,456 shares of common stock, and (ii) 23,900 pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) with each Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock, together with April Warrants to purchase up to 47,801 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock and accompanying two April Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $401.00 and each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying two April Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $400.90. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable, at an exercise price of $0.1, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased a total of 44,571 shares of common stock at an average price of $113.71 per share for a total cost of $ 506,822 . The 44,571 repurchased common shares were cancelled and returned to treasury reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares from 225,856 to 221,399. On May 16, 2023, the Company completed a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor for gross proceeds of approximately $ 5 million, before deducting fees to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds received by the Company were $ 4,089,218 . In connection with the private placement, the Company issued (i) 24,500 shares of common stock, (ii) 35,024 pre-funded warrants (the “May Pre-Funded Warrants”), and (iii) investor warrants (the “May Warrants”) to purchase up to 119,048 shares of common stock at $59.00 per share. Each share of common stock and accompanying two May Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $84.00 and each May Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying two May Warrants were sold together at a combined offering price of $83.90. The May Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable, at an exercise price of $0.1, and may be exercised at any time until all of the May Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The May Warrants have an exercise price of $59.00 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth therein), are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five and a half years from the date of issuance. In 2022 and 2023, the Company issued a total of 107,934 shares of common stock in connection with warrant exercises for aggregate net proceeds of $ 13,196,681 .

In October 2023, the 680 repurchased common shares were cancelled and returned to treasury reducing the number of issued and outstanding shares from 257,463 to 256,783. On November 16, 2023, the Company issued 23,460 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $ 2,346 in connection with the exercise of all 23,460 remaining May Pre-Funded Warrants at the nominal exercise price of $0.1 per share. On February 8, 2024, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO for a purchase price of $ 0.10 per share. On February 15, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering and in connection therewith it issued an aggregate of 714,286 shares of common stock, of which 450,000 shares were issued in connection with pre-funded warrant exercises. On March 4, 2024, the Company issued 100,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Company’s CEO for a purchase price of $ 0.10 per share. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had a total of 994,529 and 280,243 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. The Company has declared no dividends since inception. 12 Note 8 – Warrants The Company accounts for issued warrants either as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480-10 or ASC 815-40. Under ASC 480-10, warrants are considered a liability if they are mandatorily redeemable and they require settlement in cash, other assets, or a variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company considers the requirements of ASC 815-40 to determine whether the warrants should be classified as a liability or as equity. Under ASC 815-40, contracts that may require settlement for cash are liabilities, regardless of the probability of the occurrence of the triggering event. Liability-classified warrants are measured at fair value on the issuance date and at the end of each reporting period. Any change in the fair value of the warrants after the issuance date is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss. If warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude warrants should be classified as equity, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP standard. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date. In 2022, 2023, and during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company completed five (5) financing events, and in connection therewith, it issued warrants as follows: Schedule of warrants issued with financing Type Number Exercise Price Expiry Date 2022 Pre-Funded Warrants 36,923 $ 0.10 Unlimited Tradeable Warrants 41,022 $ 222.00 * February 2027 Investor Warrants 36,036 $ 222.00 March 2027 April Warrants 97,257 $ 376.00 April 2027 May Pre-Funded Warrants 35,024 $ 0.10 Unlimited May Investor Warrants 119,048 $ 59.00 November 2028 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants 450,000 $ 0.10 Unlimited Series A Warrants 79,732 ** $ 210.00 ** August 2026 Series B Warrants 159,464 ** $ 238.00 ** February 2029 * The Tradeable Warrants had an initial exercise price of $425.00, subject to adjustment. Upon the closing of the Company's private placement on March 14, 2022, the exercise price of the Tradeable Warrants was reduced to $222.00, in accordance with the terms thereof. ** Subject to adjustments per the Warrant Agreements. As of March 31, 2024, all of the 2022, May, and 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants, and a total of 31,385 Tradeable Warrants, and 28,027 Investor Warrants were exercised resulting in aggregate proceeds of $ 13,241,681 received by the Company. 13 On February 11, 2024, the Company purchased back all of the April Warrants and the May Investor Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $ 3,139,651 . The Company’s outstanding warrants as of May 20, 2024 consisted of the following: Schedule of warrants outstanding Type Number Exercise Price Expiry Date Tradeable Warrants 9,636 $ 11.00 * February 2027 Investor Warrants 8,009 $ 222.00 March 2027 Series A Warrants 16,319,444 ** Cashless ** August 2026 Series B Warrants 36,990,739 ** $ 1.026 ** February 2029 * On October 12, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of the holders of its outstanding Tradeable Warrants in which a majority of the holders approved an amendment to the Warrant Agent Agreement to reduce the exercise price of the Tradeable Warrants from $222.00 to $11.00 per warrant. The amendment was executed on October 18, 2023. ** As adjusted and subject to further adjustments per the Warrant Agreements. Note 9 – Earnings Per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the quarters ended March 31: Schedule of earnings per share computation 2024 2023 Net gain (loss) attributable to common stock $ ( 1,283,801 ) $ ( 1,702,430 ) Basic weighted average outstanding shares of common stock 641,310 220,363 Dilutive common share equivalents – – Dilutive weighted average outstanding shares of common stock 641,310 220,363 Net gain (loss) per share attributable to common stock $ ( 2.00 ) $ ( 7.73 ) Note 10 – Lease The Company has obligations as a lessee for office and warehouse space with initial non-cancellable terms in excess of one year. The Company classified the lease as an operating lease. The lease contains a renewal option for a period of five years. Because the Company is certain to exercise the renewal option, the optional period is included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under the renewal option are included in the lease payments. The Company’s lease does not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease include fixed payments plus a variable payment. The Company’s lease requires it to make variable payments for the Company’s proportionate share of building’s property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred. Amounts reported on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 were as follows: Schedule of lease information Operating lease ROU asset $ 600,248 Operating lease liability - Short-term $ 115,398 Operating lease liability - Long-term $ 496,968 Remaining lease term 5 years 9 months Discount rate 6 % Amounts disclosed for ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations and reductions of ROU assets resulting from reductions of lease obligations include amounts reduced from the carrying amount of ROU assets resulting from deferred rent. 14 Maturities of lease liabilities under non-cancellable operating leases at March 31, 2024 are as follows: Schedule of maturities of lease liabilities 2024 $ 86,221 2025 $ 116,020 2026 $ 109,890 2027 $ 103,506 2028 $ 97,493 Thereafter $ 99,236 Note 11 – Management and Director Compensation The Company paid its officers cash compensation totaling $ 262,486 and $ 820,000 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company paid its directors aggregate cash compensation totaling $ 100,000 for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Note 12 – Income Taxes In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon currently known facts and circumstances and applies that rate to its year-to-date earnings or losses. The Company’s effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of discrete items, such as changes in estimates, changes in rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or regulatory or tax law changes. The Company’s interim effective tax rate, inclusive of discrete items, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 26.83 %. The Company’s consolidated financial statements contain various tax related entries the same being due to the operations of the two Canadian subsidiaries and are in compliance with Canadian tax laws. Note 13 – Subsequent Events Effective April 17, 2024, the Company completed a 1-for-100 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”). As a result of the Reverse Split, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants has been reduced to $1.026 and the number of Series A Warrants has been increased to 16,319,444. Also as a result of the Reverse Split, the exercise price of Series B Warrants was reduced to $1.026 and the number of Series B Warrants increased to 36,990,739. All share amounts, warrants, and related parameters specified in this report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split. Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company issued 17,950,523 shares of common stock upon exercise of 8,975,262 Series A Warrants pursuant to the alternative cashless exercise of the Series A Warrants. On April 24, 2024, the Company paid Malek Chamoun, the Seller of Nora Pharma, an earn-out amount of $3,093,878 CAD (approximately $2,291,761 USD), pursuant to its obligation under the applicable Sale Agreement. On May 3, 2024, the SEC announced that it had settled charges against BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”), the Company’s independent accounting firm, stating that Borgers failed to conduct audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”). As part of the settlement, Borgers agreed to a permanent ban on appearing or practicing before the SEC. As a result, the Company dismissed Borgers as its independent accountant. On May 7, 2024, the Company engaged Bush & Associates CPA LLC as its new independent auditor. 15 ITEM 2.

This discussion includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The statements regarding Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. contained in this Report that are not historical in nature, particularly those that utilize terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “likely,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes” or “plans,” or comparable terminology, are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and assumptions, and entail various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Important factors known to us that could cause such material differences are identified in this report and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. We undertake no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable law. You are advised, however, to consult any future disclosures we make on related subjects in future reports we file with the SEC . About Sunshine Biopharma We are a pharmaceutical company offering and researching life-saving medicines in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, including oncology and antivirals. We operate two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian corporation with a portfolio consisting of 52 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada, and (ii) Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), a Canadian corporation which develops and sells nonprescription over-the-counter (“OTC”) products. In addition, we are conducting a proprietary drug development program which is comprised of (i) K1.1 mRNA targeted for liver cancer, (ii) SBFM-PL4, PLpro protease inhibitor for SARS Coronavirus infections, and (iii) Adva-27a for pancreatic cancer. Development of the latter has been paused pending further analysis of unfavorable in vitro results obtained in the second half of 2023. See “Drugs in Development” below. History We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006, and on October 15, 2009, we acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. held an exclusive license to a new anticancer drug bearing the laboratory name, Adva-27a (the “License Agreement”). Upon completion of the reverse acquisition transaction, we changed our name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and began operating as a pharmaceutical company. In December 2015, we acquired all worldwide issued (US Patent Number 8,236,935, and 10,272,065) and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 for the Adva-27a anticancer compound and terminated the License Agreement. Development of Adva-27a has recently been paused pending further analysis of unexpected in vitro results obtained in the latter part of 2023. See “Drugs in Development” below. In early 2020, we initiated a new R&D project focused on the development of a treatment for COVID-19 and on May 22, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States for the new coronavirus treatment. The patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the main Coronavirus protease, Mpro. On April 30, 2021, we filed a PCT application containing new research results and extending coverage to include the Coronavirus Papain-Like protease, PLpro. In June 2021, we initiated another R&D project in which we set out to determine if certain mRNA molecules can be used as anticancer agents. The data obtained for mRNA molecules bearing the laboratory name K1.1 became the subject of a new patent application filed in April 2022. On October 20, 2022, we acquired Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian generic pharmaceuticals company based in the greater Montreal area. Nora Pharma has 44 employees and operates in a 23,500 square foot facility certified by Health Canada. Nora Pharma currently has 52 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada and is planning to launch 32 additional generic prescription drugs in 2024 and 2025. 16 Products on the Market Through Nora Pharma we currently have the following generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada: Drug Action/Indication Reference Brand Alendronate Osteoporosis Fosamax® Amlodipine Cardiovascular Norvasc® Apixaban Cardiovascular Eliquis® Aripiprazole Antipsychotic Abilify® Atorvastatin Cardiovascular Lipitor® Azithromycin Antibacterial Zithromax® Candesartan Hypertension Atacand® Candesartan HCTZ Hypertension Atacand Plus® Celecoxib Anti-inflammatory Celebrex® Cetirizine Allergy Reactine® Ciprofloxacin Antibiotic Cipro® Citalopram Central nervous system Celexa® Clindamycin Antibiotic Dalacin® Clopidogrel Cardiovascular Plavix® Dapagliflozin Diabetes Forxiga® Donepezil Central nervous system Aricept® Duloxetine Central nervous system Cymbalta® Dutasteride Urology Avodart® Escitalopram Central nervous system Cipralex® Ezetimibe Cardiovascular Ezetrol® Finasteride Urology Proscar® Flecainide Cardiovascular Tambocor® Fluconazole Antifungal Diflucan® Fluoxetine Central nervous system Prozac® Hydroxychloroquine Antimalarial Plaquenil® Lacosamide Central nervous system Vimpat® Letrozole Oncology Femara® Levetiracetam Central nervous system Keppra® Mirtazapine Central nervous system Remeron® Metformin Diabetes Glucophage® Montelukast Allergy Singulair® Olmesartan Cardiovascular Olmetec® Olmesartan HCTZ Cardiovascular Olmetec Plus® Pantoprazole Gastroenterology Pantoloc® Paroxetine Central nervous system Paxil® Perindopril Cardiovascular Coversyl® Pravastatin Cardiovascular Pravachol® Pregabalin Central nervous system Lyrica® Quetiapine Central nervous system Seroquel® Quetiapine XR Central nervous system Seroquel XR® Ramipril Cardiovascular Altace® Rizatriptan ODT Central nervous system Maxalt® ODT Rosuvastatin Cardiovascular Crestor® Sertraline Central nervous system Zoloft® Sildenafil Urology Viagra® Tadalafil Urology Cialis® Telmisartan Cardiovascular Micardis® Telmisartan HCTZ Cardiovascular Micardis Plus® Topiramate Anticonvulsant Topamax® Tramadol Acetaminophen Central nervous system Tramacet® Zolmitriptan Central nervous system Zomig® Zopiclone Central nervous system Imovane® 17 In addition to the 52 drugs currently on the market, we have 32 additional drugs scheduled to be launched in 2024 and 2025. These new drugs will address various human health areas including cardiovascular, oncology, gastroenterology, central nervous system, diabetes, urology, endocrinology, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory. Among the new drugs to be launched in 2024 is NIOPEG®, a biosimilar of NEULASTA®. Similar to NEULASTA®, NIOPEG® is a long-acting form of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (filgrastim). It is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving anti-neoplastic therapy. Nora Pharma received Health Canada marketing approval for NIOPEG® on April 17, 2024. We believe the addition of these new products to our existing portfolio will strengthen our presence in the Canadian $9.7 billion a year generic drugs market and provide us with greater access to pharmacies as we become more of a go-to supplier for every-day and specialty medicines. Products in Development The following table summarizes our proprietary drugs in development: Drug Candidate Therapeutic Area Development Stage Adva-27a (Small Molecule) Oncology (Pancreatic Cancer) Paused* K1.1 (mRNA LNP) Oncology (Liver Cancer) Animal Testing SBFM-PL4 (Small Molecule) Antiviral (SARS Coronavirus) Animal Testing *See “Adva-27a Anticancer Compound” below Adva-27a Anticancer Compound Adva-27a is a small molecule designed for the treatment of aggressive forms of cancer. A Topoisomerase II inhibitor, Adva-27a has been shown to be effective at destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer cells including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells and Uterine Sarcoma cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). We are the direct owner of all patents pertaining to Adva-27a including U.S. Patents Number 8,236,935 and 10,272,065. In December 2022, we entered into a research agreement with the Jewish General Hospital (“JGH”), to conduct the IND-enabling studies of Adva-27a (the “Research Agreement”). In August 2023, we were informed by the JGH that the laboratory results on testing of the Adva-27a molecule were not favorable. After conclusion of an internal review of the laboratory results on November 2, 2023, we provided notice to JGH of termination of the Research Agreement. We have paused the IND-enabling studies of Adva-27a pending a review of the results and the possibility of chemical modification of the compound to address the suboptimal performance of the molecule in certain studies. K1.1 Anticancer mRNA In June 2021, we initiated a new research project in which we set out to determine if certain mRNA molecules can be used as anti-cancer agents. The data collected to date have shown that a selected group of mRNA molecules are capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro including multidrug resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7/MDR), ovarian adenocarcinoma cells (OVCAR-3), and pancreatic cancer cells (SUIT-2). Studies using non-transformed (normal) human cells (HMEC cells) showed that these mRNA molecules had little cytotoxic effects. These new mRNA molecules, bearing the laboratory name K1.1, are readily adaptable for delivery into patients using the mRNA vaccine technology. In April 2022, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States covering the subject mRNA molecules. In November 2022, we concluded an agreement with a specialized commercial partner for the purposes of formulating our K1.1 mRNA molecules into lipid nanoparticles (“LNP”) for use to conduct xenograft mice studies. The initial results of our xenograft mice studies indicate that our K1.1 mRNA-LNP is effective at reducing the size of liver cancer xenograft tumors in mice. We are currently seeking to confirm these results by conducting additional xenograft experiments on a broader scale and in more detailed dose-response studies. 18 SBFM-PL4 SARS Coronavirus Treatment The initial genome expression products following infection by Betacoronavirus, the causative agent of COVID-19, are two large polyproteins, referred to as pp1a and pp1ab. These two polyproteins are cleaved at 15 specific sites by two virus encoded proteases, called Mpro and PLpro, to generate 16 different non-structural proteins essential for viral replication. Mpro and PLpro represent attractive anti-viral drug development targets as they play a central role in the early stages of viral replication. PLpro is of particular interest as a therapeutic target in that, in addition to processing essential viral proteins, it is also responsible for suppression of the human immune system making the virus more life-threatening. PLpro is present only in Betacoronaviruses, the subgroup of Coronaviruses represented by the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. Our Anti-Coronavirus research effort has been focused on developing an inhibitor of PLpro and, on May 22, 2020, we filed a patent application in the United States covering composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the Coronavirus PLpro as well as Mpro. In February 2022, we expanded our PLpro inhibitors research effort by entering into a research agreement with the University of Arizona for the purposes of conducting research focused on determining the in vivo safety, pharmacokinetics, and dose selection properties of three University of Arizona owned PLpro inhibitors, to be followed by efficacy testing in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the “Research Project”). Under the agreement, the University of Arizona granted us a first option to negotiate a commercial, royalty-bearing license for all intellectual property developed by University of Arizona under the Research Project. In addition, we and the University of Arizona have entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) whereby we were granted a first option to negotiate a royalty-bearing commercial license for the underlying technology of the Research Project. On September 13, 2022, we exercised our options, and on February 24, 2023, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with the University of Arizona for all of the technology related to the Research Project. We have recently broadened our objective to include the development of an injectable drug candidate of first-in-class PLpro inhibitor to treat SARS-CoV2 and potentially SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infection in patients who could not use Paxlovid, Molnupiravir, or Remdesivir, due to concerns about drug interactions and possible ‘rebound’ infections and other side effects. Intellectual Property We are the sole owner of all rights pertaining to Adva-27a. These patent rights are covered by PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029. The patent applications filed under these two PCT's have been issued in the United States under US Patent Number 8,236,935 and 10,272,065. On May 22, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States for a new treatment for Coronavirus infections. Our patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the main Coronavirus protease, Mpro, an enzyme that is essential for viral replication. The patent application has a priority date of May 22, 2020. On April 30, 2021, we filed a PCT application containing new research results and extending coverage to include the Coronavirus Papain-Like protease, PLpro. The priority date of May 22, 2020 has been maintained in the newly filed PCT application. On April 20, 2022, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States covering mRNA molecules capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro. The patent application contains composition and utility subject matter pertaining to the structure and sequence of the relevant mRNA molecules. Effective February 24, 2023, we became the exclusive, worldwide licensee of the University of Arizona for three (3) patents related to small molecules which inhibit the Coronavirus protease, PLpro. 19 Our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma, owns 152 DIN’s issued by Health Canada for prescription drugs currently on the market in Canada. These DIN’s were secured through in-licenses or cross-licenses from international manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products. In addition, we are the owner of four (4) NPN’s issued by Health Canada including (i) NPN 80089663 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell our in-house developed OTC product, Essential 9, (ii) NPN 80093432 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell the OTC product, Calcium-Vitamin D under the brand name Essential Calcium-Vitamin D, (iii) NPN 80125047 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell the OTC product, L-Citrulline, and (iv) NPN 80127436 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell the OTC product, Taurine. Results of Operations Comparison of results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we generated $7,541,046 in sales, compared to $4,894,053 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $2,646,993, or 54%. The increase is attributable to new product launches and expanded marketing and sales efforts by our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma. The direct cost for generating these sales was $5,186,709 (69%) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $3,065,931 (63%) for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in the cost of goods sold in 2024 is due to increased cost of manufacturing of the generic prescription drugs sold by Nora Pharma. Our gross profit grew to $2,354,337 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,828,122 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, were $3,704,926, compared to $3,657,103 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $47,823. This modest increase was the net result of increases and decreases in our specific expense categories. For example, we saw increased costs in accounting ($182,256), legal ($114,549), marketing ($70,133) and office ($428,753). The categories that decreased were consulting ($84,214), R&D ($210,892) and salaries ($466,545). Overall, we incurred a loss of $1,350,589 from our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a loss of $1,828,981 from our operations in the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. In addition, we had interest income of $144,089 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net interest income of $213,881 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as a result of interest earned on less cash on hand. As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,283,801 ($0.02 per share) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $1,702,430 ($0.08 per share) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. 20 Liquidity and Capital Resources As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $17,434,208. Net cash used in operating activities was $3,185,159 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $1,850,106 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase was a result of increased business activities by Nora Pharma. Cash flows used in investing activities were $668,736 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $146,303 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was the result of cash invested in Nora Pharma. Cash flows provided by financing activities were $5,398,149 during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to $538,299 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily as a result of one offering made during the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to no financing events completed during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We are not generating adequate revenues from our operations to fully implement our business plan as set forth herein. We believe our existing cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our pharmaceuticals sales operations and research and development activities 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 and possibly clinical trials, as well as expansion of our generic pharmaceuticals operations. Additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. 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 we believe 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. For a detailed list of significant accounting policies, please see our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, including our financial statements and notes thereto included therein as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024. 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 None. 21 ITEM 3.
