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.
Company Overview
We, through our wholly owned subsidiary Skinvisible
Pharmaceuticals Inc., are a pharmaceutical research and development (“R&D”) company that has developed and patented an
innovative polymer delivery system, Invisicare® and formulated over forty topical skin products, which we out-license globally. We
were incorporated in 1998, and target an estimated $80 billion global skincare and dermatology market and a $30 billion global over-the-counter
market as well as other healthcare / medical and consumer goods markets.
With the research and development complete on
forty products and numerous patents issued (technology and product patents), we are ready to monetize our investment. Our business model
will continue to be to out-license our patented prescription and over-the-counter (“OTC”) products featuring Invisicare to
established manufacturers and marketers of brands internationally and to maximize profits from the products we have already out-licensed.
The opportunity for us to license our products
continues to be a viable model as the need for pharmaceutical companies to access external R&D companies for new products due to their
own down-sizing or elimination of internal R&D departments. The demand for our products is enhanced due to the granting of key US
and international patents and the completed development of a number of unique products.
Our Flagship Product
Pivotal to our success is our patented polymer
delivery system technology Invisicare. Invisicare is a patented polymer delivery system that enhances the delivery of active ingredients
for topically applied skin care products. Its patented technology has a unique formula and process for combining active ingredients with
a delivery system that extends the duration of time the product remains on the skin and active.

Invisicare is specifically formulated to
carry water insoluble active and certain cationic active ingredients in water-based products without the use of alcohol, silicones, waxes,
or other organic solvents. Products utilizing Invisicare have the proven ability to bond active ingredients to the skin for up to four
hours and longer. They are non-occlusive and allow normal skin respiration and perspiration while moisturizing and protecting against
exposure from a wide variety of environmental irritants.
When topically applied, these formulated products
adhere to the skin's outer layers, forming a protective bond, resisting wash-off, and delivering targeted levels of therapeutic or cosmetic
skincare agents to the skin. They allow enhanced delivery performance for a variety of skincare agents resulting in improved efficacy,
longer duration of action, reduced irritation and lower dosage of active agent required. The "invisible" polymer compositions
wear off as part of the natural exfoliation process of the skin's outer layer cells.
The advantage of products formulated with Invisicare
is (1) Invisicare’s ability to bind active ingredients (the drug) to the skin, forming a protective bond on the skin, for extended
periods of time; (2) Invisicare can deliver targeted levels (high or low) of therapeutic or cosmetic ingredients to the skin in a controlled
release; (3) Invisicare can help to reduce the irritation of some active ingredients due to how it controls the slower release of that
active ingredient; and (4) Invisicare science proves that it provides a protective skin barrier which helps retain the natural moisture
content of the skin, while still allowing it to breathe. These benefits present an excellent opportunity for clear scientific advantages
and marketing messages which resonate with physicians and consumers.
What We Do
We have positioned ourselves in the $80 billion
worldwide prescription and over-the-counter dermatology and skincare market. We generate revenue by:
LICENSING : We develop topical prescription
and over-the-counter products enhanced with Invisicare to license to pharmaceutical and consumer goods companies around the world for
an upfront fee and ongoing royalties;
CO-DEVELOPMENT : We assist pharmaceutical
clients in the early development of the most optimal formulation, which they then take forward into clinical testing;
LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT : We provide cost-effective
solutions to global pharmaceutical companies by reformulating their products coming off patent with a new Invisicare patent and new product
benefits and line extensions. Pharmaceutical companies are under a lot of pressure to develop innovative strategies to counteract the
revenue loss from their drugs coming off patent.
License Agreement with Quoin
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 December 31, 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, 2021. We received a payment of $50,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The remaining balance of two
hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) was still outstanding as of March 31, 2022,and was received on May 10, 2022.
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 Months Ended March 31, 2022 and
2021
Revenues
Our revenue, which we combine from product sales,
royalties on patent licenses and license fees (product development fees), was $59,980 for the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase
from $12,051 for the same period ended March 31, 2021
The revenue for 2022 was mainly from license fees with Quoin and the revenue
for 2021 was mainly from license fees with Quoin and Ovation. We hope to generate more revenues from our licenses with Quoin and Ovation
for the rest of 2022.
Gross Profit
We had $1,508 in cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2022 and $3,300 in cost of revenues for the same period ended 2021, so our gross profit was $58,472 and $8,751 for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We had some cost of product in 2021 as compared with 2022 where
we had none. Our gross profit increased in 2022 due to more revenues from our license with Quoin, and we hope to generate more revenues
from our licenses with Quoin and Ovation for the rest of 2022, which do not have a cost of revenue component.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $138,011 for the three months ended March
31, 2022 from $119,878 for the same period ended March 31, 2021.
Our operating expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2022 consisted primarily of accrued salaries and wages of $87,942, audit and accounting of $28,809, insurance of $6,744 and
amortization of $4,251. Our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages
of $87,942, audit and accounting of $13,610, and amortization of $4,251.
Other Expenses
We had other expenses of $134,980 for the three months ended March 31,
2022, as compared with other expenses of $324,378 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Our other expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2022 consisted mainly of interest expense, netted against a gain on settlement of debt. Our other expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 consisted mainly of interest expense.

Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $214,519 for the three months ended March 31,
2022, as compared with a net loss of $435,505 for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2022, we had total current assets
of $35,126 and total assets in the amount of $183,588. Our total current liabilities as of March 31, 2022 were $3,067,102. We had a working
capital deficit of $2,883,514 as of March 31, 2022, compared with a working capital deficit of $3,031,976 as of December 31, 2021.
Operating activities used $40,940 in cash for the
three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared with $15,663 used for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our negative operating cash
flow for 2022 was largely the result of the net loss for the period. Our negative operating cash flow for 2021 was largely the result
of our net loss for the period, offset by adjustments to amortization of debt discount and increases in accrued interest
We used cash of $0 and $450 in investing activities
for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for the purchase of fixed and intangible assets.
Cash flows used by financing activities during the
three months ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $0, as compared with cash used of $7,616 for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Our
cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2021 consisted of repayments of related party loans.
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 $35,987,680 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 March 31, 2022, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most
“critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting
policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s
most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are
inherently uncertain.

Table of Contents
Product sales – Revenues from the sale of products (Invisicare®
polymers) are recognized when title to the products are transferred to the customer and only when no further contingencies or material
performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive reasonably assured payments for products sold and
delivered.
Royalty sales – We also recognize royalty revenue from licensing
our patented product formulations only when earned, with no further contingencies or material performance obligations are warranted, and
thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.
Distribution and license rights sales – We also recognize
revenue from distribution and license rights only when earned (and are amortized over a five-year period), with no further contingencies
or material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.
Costs of Revenue – Cost of revenue includes raw materials,
component parts, and shipping supplies. Shipping and handling costs is not a significant portion of the cost of revenue.
Accounts Receivable – Accounts receivable is comprised of
uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. The carrying
amount of accounts receivable is reviewed periodically for collectability. If management determines that collection is unlikely, an allowance
that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected is recorded. Management reviews each accounts
receivable balance that exceeds 30 days from the invoice date and, based on an assessment of creditworthiness, estimates the portion,
if any, of the balance that will not be collected. As of March 31, 2022, we had not recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements
to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.
