Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including
estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon
which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking
statements generally are identified by the words “believes,” “project,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “intends,” “strategy,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “would,”
“will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. We intend such forward-looking
statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe-harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements
are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently
uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse affect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include,
but are not limited to: changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition,
and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements
and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Further information concerning our business, including
additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
Overview
COVID-19
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business,
operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict at the present
time. In an effort to contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted various measures, including orders
to close all businesses not deemed “essential,” isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and practice social
distancing when engaging in essential activities. We anticipate that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will
negatively impact business activity across the globe. While we have not observed any noticeable impact on our revenue related to these
conditions in the past fiscal year, or through the date of this filing, we cannot estimate the impact COVID-19 will have in the future
as business and consumer activity decelerates across the globe.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take
further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local or foreign authorities, or that we determine
are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and stockholders. It is not clear what the potential effects any such
alterations or modifications may have on our business, including the effects on our customers, partners, or vendors, or on our financial
results.
Recent Developments
On October 17, 2019, we entered an Exclusive License Agreement
with Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quoin”) pursuant to which we granted to Quoin a license to certain
patents for the development of products for commercial sale. In exchange for the license, Quoin agreed to pay to us a license fee of $1,000,000
(the “License Fee”) and a single digit royalty interest of all net sales on the licensed products subject to adjustment in
certain situations. The agreement also requires that Quoin make certain milestone payments to us upon achieving regulatory approval milestones
for certain drug products.
The agreement was subject to termination, if among other things,
50% of the license fee is not paid by December 31, 2019 and if the full License Fee is not paid by March 31, 2020. No payments were made
by Quoin and the agreement was terminated. Both Parties subsequently determined that they continue to see the value in a partnership and
therefore on May 8, 2020 and again on July 31, 2020 the companies agreed to extend the Exclusive License Agreement under the same terms
to expire on September 30, 2020, and on January 27, 2021 the companies agreed to revise the milestone payments due under the agreement
and to extend the agreement indefinitely.

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to change
the terms of the license Fee as shown below.
As partial consideration for the rights conveyed by Skinvisible
under this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to Skinvisible a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable license issue fee of one million
USD dollars (USO $1,000,000) (''License Fee''). To date, Licensee has paid three hundred ninety-two thousand five hundred US dollars (USD
$392,500) of this fee as part of the First Half Payment of the License Fee. The balance due of the First Half Payment is one hundred seven
thousand five hundred US dollars (USD $107,500) which was received on July 7. A further payment of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
($250,000) is due no later than ten (10) business days after receipt by Licensee of additional funding from Altium Capital which coincides
with the approval from the SEC on Quoin’s merger with a NASDAQ listed company, which closed in October. The remaining balance of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) will be paid on December 31, 2021.
Additionally, the milestones in the initial agreement were changed
as shown below:
(i) Successful
completion of Phase 2 testing: $0
(ii) Successful
completion of Phase 3 testing: $0
(iii) Regulatory
approval in either 1· the US or EU, whichever happens first: $5,000,000
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2021 and 2020
Revenues
Our revenue, which we combine from product sales, royalties on
patent licenses and license fees (product development fees), was $111,421 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase from
$6,816 for the same period ended September 30, 2020. Our revenue was $410,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase
from $142,838 for the same period ended September 30, 2020.
The revenue for both periods in 2021 was mainly from license fees
with Quoin and the revenue for both periods in 2020 was mainly from license fees with Ovation. We hope to generate more revenues from
our licenses with Quoin and Ovation for the rest of the year.
Gross Profit
We had $3,300 in cost of revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 2021, no cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and no cost of revenues for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2020, so our gross profit was $111,421 and $407,271 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively,
as compared with gross profit of $6,816 and $142,838 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
We had some product sales resulting in a reduced gross profit for
2021 as compared with 2020. Our gross profit increased in 2021 due to more revenues from our licenses with Quoin and Ovation expected
for the rest of the year, which do not have a cost of revenue component.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $119,274 for the three months ended
September 30, 2021 from $125,438 for the same period ended September 30, 2020. Operating expenses decreased to $366,731 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 from $404,214 for the same period ended September 30, 2020.
Our operating expenses for all periods consisted mainly of selling,
general and administrative expenses.

Table of Contents
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages of $243,826, audit and accounting of $43,102. In comparison, our
selling general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages
of $263,827 and audit and accounting of $55,089.
Other Expenses
We had other expenses of $195,499 for the three months ended September
30, 2021, as compared with other expenses of $291,137 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. We had other expenses of $947,911
for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with other expenses of $891,260 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Our other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021
consisted mainly of interest expense and a loss on the changes in derivative liability, offset by a gain on the settlement of debt. Our
other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted mainly of interest expense and a loss on the changes in derivative
liability, offset by a gain on the settlement of debt. Our other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted mainly
of a loss on the settlement of debt and interest expense.
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $203,352 for the three months ended September
30, 2021, as compared with a net loss of $409,759 for the three months ended September 30, 2020. We recorded a net loss of $907,371 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with a net loss of $1,152,636 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had total current assets of $58,021
and total assets in the amount of $215,771. Our total current liabilities as of September 30, 2021 were $3,108,168. We had a working capital
deficit of $3,050,147 as of September 30, 2021, compared with a working capital deficit of $2,668,871 as of December 31, 2020.
Operating activities provided $220,791 in cash for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021, as compared with $15,588 provided for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our positive operating cash
flow for each period was largely the result of the amortization of debt discount and changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
and accrued interest.
We used cash of $20,864 and $16,767 in investing activities for
the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for the purchase of fixed and intangible assets.
Cash flows used by financing activities during the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $186,600, as compared with cash provided of $11,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Our negative financing cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulted from the repayments of debt. Our positive financing
cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted of proceeds from related party loans, offset by repayments on the same.
The features of the debt instruments and payables concerning our
financing activities are detailed in the footnotes to our financial statements.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient
cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and
debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek
additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful
in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.
There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Going concern – The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. We have incurred cumulative net losses of $35,607,779 since our inception and require capital for our contemplated
operational and marketing activities to take place. Our ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock
is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of our contemplated plan of operations, and our transition,
ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for us to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve
these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are expressed in United States dollars. Preparing financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and
expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding
the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an
understanding of our financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible
Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce
costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users
of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the
convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted
for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer
separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The
new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings
per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but
only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the
Company’s financial statements.
