PART I
Item 1. Business
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. We are also exploring
new opportunities in large medical markets outside of the dermatology market such as obesity and other potential markets where a topical
or transdermal solution would be a viable alternative.
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 downsizing 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.

Table of Contents
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.
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 Quoin a license to certain patents for the development of products for commercial sale. In exchange for the license,
Quoin paid us a license fee of one million USD dollars (USD $1,000,000) (the “License Fee”) and will additionally pay 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 a milestone payment of $5 million to us upon achieving the first to occur of either FDA or European Union regulatory
approval for one product licensed.
In addition, and upon
the successful approval in the US or European Union, whichever occurs first, Skinvisible is entitled to receive a single digit royalty
percentage of Quoins net sales revenues for any licensed product covered by the patent rights licensed under the License Agreement. Plus,
Quoin also agreed to pay Skinvisible 25% of any revenues they receive as royalties in the event that they sublicense any licensed products
to a third party.
On June 6, 2022, the
Company announced that its licensee Quoin and its product QRX003, was the first Invisicare delivery technology product to receive U.S.
FDA Acceptance of Investigational New Drug Application and that Quoin was actively working towards obtaining necessary FDA and other
regulatory approvals for marketing the product in the United States and other countries.
On February 14, 2024,
the Company announced that there was significant progress in Quoin's clinical trials for product formulations containing Invisicare targeting
Netherton Syndrome. The trials focus on the innovative formulation "QRX003," powered by Skinvisible’s Invisicare®
proprietary drug delivery technology. The updates include:
• Positive
Initial Data and Clean Safety Profile: The trials have demonstrated positive initial data
and a clean safety profile, leading to the implementation of an optimization plan.
• Optimization
Plan Implementation: Quoin has increased the size of both clinical trials significantly and
adjusted dosing frequency to twice-daily from once-daily for both trials.
• Elimination
of Lower Dose: In the blinded trial, a lower dose has been eliminated based on the positive
outcomes observed.
• Protocol
Amendment s: Quoin's press release highlights protocol
amendments aimed at enhancing the data set and potentially expediting regulatory approval.
4
Table of Contents
We believe these protocol
amendments could ultimately result in the generation of a highly compelling data set, which could support regulatory filings and approval
for QRX003 as the first treatment for Netherton Syndrome.
On March 4, 2024,
Quoin announced a further milestone: it received FDA Clearance to recruit teen subjects into both ongoing Netherton Syndrome clinical
studies. We believe this announcement is important as:
• Clearance
to include teen patients in both Quoin’s open label and placebo-controlled studies
are expected to significantly expand the number of eligible subjects, potentially expedite
recruitment and lead to a more robust data set.
• This development represents the first ever inclusion
of non-adult subjects in Netherton Syndrome clinical studies conducted under an open Investigational New Drug Application.
• It is believed that the inclusion of this patient
population in Quoin’s studies will be a critical component of the development of a robust data set that could result in regulatory
approval with a broad label as QRX003 is being tested both as monotherapy and in conjunction with off-label treatments.
On June 27, 2024, Quoin
announced an International Expansion of ongoing clinical trials for Netherton Syndrome in Saudia Arabia. The site is currently treating
Netherton patients who are eligible for recruitment into Quoin studies.
On October 22, 2024,
Quoin announced further International Expansion of ongoing clinical trials for Netherton Syndrome with two additional clinical sites
to be opened in the United Kingdom where both sites are recognized Centers of Excellence for Netherton Syndrome in the UK.
On November 5, 2024,
Quoin Pharmaceuticals initiated clinical testing of its lead product in a pediatric Netherton Syndrome patient. This clinical assessment
is being performed on a pediatric patient at children’s health Ireland in Dublin; the first evaluation of QRX003, powered by Skinvisible’s
Invisicare technology, in a pediatric patient.
On December 19, 2024,
Quoin Pharmaceuticals announced FDA clearance to initiate a new additional Netherton Syndrome (NS) clinical study for QRX003. The company
further announced that the study will be conducted by Dr. Amy Paller, of Northwestern University. It is planned that up to eight subjects
will be enrolled into the study and will have QRX003 applied twice daily to greater than 80% of their entire body surface area (BSA)
over a 12-week period. By comparison, in Quoin’s ongoing open-label and double-blind clinical studies, QRX003 is applied to approximately
20% of the subject’s BSA, typically the arms and lower leg. This new study, designed to mimic how NS patients will use QRX003 if
approved, represents the most extensive use of QRX003 in a clinical setting to date. It is anticipated that the data generated from this
study will be used to supplement the data package to support the potential regulatory approval of QRX003 as a treatment for NS.
Quoin also announced
other key developments, including:
• Significant clinical improvements in both open label and pediatric studies including subject's disease classification improved from "severe"
to "mild" after 6 weeks dosing;
• No adverse events or safety concerns reported to date from each of Quoin's ongoing clinical studies in Netherton Syndrome subjects; and
• License of Netherton Syndrome product QRX003 with Invisicare delivery technology in 60 countries.
License Agreement
with Ovation Science
On February 3, 2020,
we entered into a License Agreement with Ovation Science Inc. pursuant to which Skinvisible granted to Ovation Science Inc. a license
for the manufacture and distribution rights to its hand sanitizer product, DermSafe. In exchange for the license, Ovation Science Inc.
agreed to pay to Skinvisible a royalty percentage on all net sales on the licensed products subject to adjustment in certain situations
plus a license fee payable in year 3 of the agreement if it chooses to continue the license.
On June 10, 2020,
Ovation Science paid us the fee otherwise due in year 3 and in exchange we extended the term of Ovation Science’s license to
6-years and granted Ovation additional rights to its hand sanitizer products and assigned Canadian Identification Numbers 02310589
and 02355558, all DermSafe Trademarks, DermSafe clinical data and the right to patent DermSafe where not currently patented. In
exchange for these rights, Ovation Science paid a $100,000 license fee. We completed the required assignments during the year ending
December 31, 2020 and recognized $100,000 in revenue.

Patent Applications
for Transdermal Delivery for Obesity and Glucose-Controlling Agents
In May and June of 2024,
we filed provisional patent applications covering formulations that leverage Invisicare for the transdermal administration of obesity
drugs and glucose-controlling agents for diseases such as diabetes. The patents are titled "Transdermal Delivery Composition for
Delivery of CB-1 Receptor Antagonists and/or GLP-1 Receptor Agonists, and Method of Delivery” and “Transdermal Delivery Composition
for Delivery of at Least One Glucose Controlling Agent, and Method of Delivering at Least One Glucose Controlling Agent.”
The patent applications
focus on the use of Invisicare in a transdermal delivery technology designed to incorporate CB-1 receptor antagonists and/or GPL-1 receptor
agonists, with drugs known for their potential in obesity management and for glucose-controlling agents, into a lotion that is applied
topically to the skin using a metered applicator. Studies have demonstrated the superior transdermal penetration and controlled release
of other active compounds using Invisicare's innovative technology, with certain actives exhibiting up to a tenfold increase in transdermal
delivery effectiveness. By utilizing Invisicare, we aim to not only offer patients a convenient and effective alternative to traditional
oral or injectable therapies but to also enhance drug efficacy and potentially significantly reduce side effects as transdermal delivery
avoids first-pass metabolism. Additionally, for long-term treatment of obesity and glucose controlling agents, a transdermal delivery
system could feasibly provide a convenient method for administering maintenance doses for these medications.
We are actively pursuing strategic partnerships
with pharmaceutical and/or biotech companies to facilitate the introduction of the first transdermal obesity therapies to market and
to explore the application of its delivery platform across diverse disease domains.
Competition
Market research indicates there is reasonably
limited direct competition for Invisicare and patented products in terms of performance capabilities for topically administered
skin products. Many companies are seeking unique delivery systems to enhance their portfolio and purchasing companies that have delivery
technology.
Nevertheless, our current and potential competitors
may have longer operating histories, significantly greater resources and name recognition, and a larger base of customers than we have.
Our competitors may also be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, marketing
and sale of their products and services than we can. To be competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in sales and
marketing. We may not have sufficient resources to make these investments or to develop the technological advances necessary to be competitive,
which in turn will cause our business to suffer and restrict our profitability potential.
Government Regulation
Cosmetic and Skin Care Regulation
Depending upon product claims and formulation,
skin care products may be regulated as cosmetics, drugs, devices, or combination cosmetics and drugs. The FDA has authority to regulate
cosmetics marketed in the United States under the FDCA and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (“FPLA”) and implementing
regulations. The Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) regulates the advertising of cosmetics under the FTCA.
The FDCA prohibits the marketing of adulterated
and misbranded cosmetics. Cosmetic ingredients must also comply with the FDA’s ingredient, quality, and labeling requirements and
the FTC’s requirements pertaining to truthful and non-misleading advertising. Cosmetic products and ingredients, except for color
additives, are not required to have FDA premarket approval. Manufacturers of cosmetics are also not required to register their establishments,
file data on ingredients, or report cosmetic-related injuries to the FDA.
We will be responsible for substantiating
the safety and product claims of the cosmetic products and ingredients before marketing. The FDA or FTC may disagree with our
characterization of one or more of the skin care products as a cosmetic or the product claims. This could result in a variety of
enforcement actions which could require the reformulation or relabeling of our products, the submission of information in support of
the product claims or the safety and effectiveness of our products, or more punitive action, all of which could have a material
adverse effect on our business. If the FDA determines we have failed to comply with applicable requirements under the FDCA or FPLA,
it can impose a variety of enforcement actions from public warning letters, injunctions, consent decrees, and civil penalties to
seizure of our products, total or partial shutdown of our production, and criminal prosecutions. If any of these events were to
occur, it could materially adversely affect us. If the FTC determines we have failed to substantiate our claims, it can pursue a
variety of actions including disgorgement of profits, injunction from further violative conduct, and consent decrees.

Table of Contents
Domestic State and Local Government Regulation
Some states and local governments in the United
States regulate the labeling, operation, sale, and distribution of our skin care products. To the extent additional state or local laws
apply, we intend to comply with them.
Foreign Government Regulation
In general, we will need to comply with the government
regulations of each individual country in which our products are to be distributed and sold. These regulations vary in complexity and
can be as stringent, and on occasion even more stringent, than FDA regulations in the United States. The level of complexity and stringency
is not always precisely understood today for each country, creating greater uncertainty for the international regulatory process. Furthermore,
government regulations can change with little to no notice and may result in up-regulation of our product(s), thereby creating a greater
regulatory burden for us. We have not yet thoroughly explored the applicable laws and regulations that we will need to comply with in
foreign jurisdictions. As a result, it is possible that we may not be permitted to sell our products in foreign markets or expand our
business into one or more foreign jurisdictions.
Environmental Laws
We are not subject to any significant or material
environmental regulation in the normal operation of our business.
Employees
Currently, we have two employees, including our
Director and CEO Terry Howlett.
Subsidiaries
We conduct our operations through our wholly owned
subsidiary, Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition and
our Business
Our investors may lose their entire investment
because our financial status creates a doubt whether we will continue as a going concern.
We do not
have sufficient cash nor do we have a significant source of revenues to cover our operational costs and allow us to continue as a going
concern. The Company anticipates generating revenues through the licensing of its core products and if that is not sufficient
we may seek to raise additional operating capital to implement our business plan in an offering of our common stock or debt. Our
plan requires capital to operate for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that the revenues generated or that such
an offering will be successful. You may lose your entire investment
7
Table of Contents
Our
failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations could reduce our ability to compete successfully
and adversely affect our results of operations.
We need
to raise additional funds to achieve our future strategic objectives, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing
on favorable terms, if at all. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur
additional indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions.
If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:
• launch,
develop and enhance our existing products;
• continue
to expand our product base, sales and/or marketing efforts;
• hire,
train and retain employees; or
• respond
to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.
Our inability
to do any of the foregoing could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.
If we are unable to generate revenues by
implementing our business plan, you will lose your entire investment in our company.
We have a history of losses from inception and we had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2024 of $39,946,142. We have not been
able to generate sufficient revenues from licensees, from the sale of our own products or otherwise to cover our expenses. If we are unsuccessful
in generating revenues, you could lose your entire investment.
If our products or products that are licensed
by our licensees are not deemed desirable and suitable for purchase and we cannot establish a customer base, we may not be able to generate
sufficient revenues, which would result in a failure of the business and a loss of any investment one makes in our company.
The acceptance of our products is critically important
to our success. We cannot be certain that the products that we will be offering will be appealing and as a result there may not be any
demand for these products and our sales could be limited and we may never realize any significant revenues. In addition, there are no
assurances that if we alter or change the products we offer in the future that the demand for these new products will develop and this
could adversely affect our business and any possible revenues.
If demand for the products that we offer
or products that are licensed by our licensees slows, then our business would be materially affected.
Demand for our products and products of our licensees,
depends on many factors, including:
•
the economy, and in periods of rapidly declining economic conditions,
customers may defer luxury purchases or may choose alternate products;
•
the competitive environment in the skin care sector or sectors in which
products are introduced may force us to reduce prices below our desired pricing level or increase promotional spending;
•
our ability to anticipate changes in consumer preferences and to meet
customers’ needs for skin care products in a timely cost-effective manner;
•
our ability to maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production
and delivery of the products and services; and,
•
our ability to identify and respond successfully to emerging trends
in the skin care and personal care industries.
8
Table of Contents
For the long term, demand for product offerings
may be affected by:
•
the ability to establish, maintain and eventually grow market share
in a competitive environment;
•
our ability to deliver our products in the markets we intend to service,
changes in government regulations, currency fluctuations, natural disasters, pandemics and other factors beyond our control may increase
the cost of items we purchase, create communication issues or render product delivery difficult which could have a material adverse
effect on our sales and profitability; and
•
restrictions on access to North American markets and supplies.
All of these factors could result in immediate
and longer term declines in the demand for products that we offer as well as licensed products, which could adversely affect our sales,
cash flows and overall financial condition.
Because we are new in the marketplace, we
may not be able to compete effectively and increase market share.
Our current and potential competitors may have
longer operating histories, significantly greater resources and name recognition, and a larger base of customers than we have. Our competitors
may also be able to adopt more aggressive pricing policies and devote greater resources to the development, marketing and sale of their
products and services than we can. To be competitive, we must continue to invest significant resources in sales and marketing. We may
not have sufficient resources to make these investments or to develop the technological advances necessary to be competitive, which in
turn will cause our business to suffer and restrict our profitability potential.
Because we rely on third parties to manufacture
our products, we are subject to factors outside of our control to meet our standards or timelines.
Our products are manufactured by three third-party
manufacturing companies on a purchase order basis. No contractual arrangement are currently in place, except for standard confidentiality
agreements. We are dependent on the timeliness and effectiveness of our third-part manufacturers’ efforts.
Failure or lack of reliability in the manufacture
of our products is likely to result in loss of business. Among other risks:
•
Our products may fail to provide the expected results;
•
We may experience limited availability of quality ingredients for manufacturing;
•
We may experience poor quality manufacturing;
•
Our products may have new competition from other companies attempting
to duplicate our formulas; and
•
Our customers could experience results different from our test results.
Like other retailers, distributors and manufacturers
of skin care and personal care products, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of
the products that we sell results in injury.
We may be subjected to various product liability
claims, including claims that the products we sell contain contaminants, are improperly labeled or include inadequate instructions as
to use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. In addition, we may be forced to defend
lawsuits. We cannot predict whether product liability claims will be brought against us in the future or the effect of any resulting
adverse publicity on the business. Moreover, we may not have adequate resources in the event of a successful claim against us. The successful
assertion of product liability claim against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages. In addition, interactions of
the products with other similar products, prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs have not been fully explored.
We may also be exposed to claims relating to product
advertising or product quality. People may purchase our products expecting certain physical results, unique to skin care and personal
care products. If they do not perceive expected results to occur, certain individuals or groups of individuals may seek monetary retribution.

Table of Contents
If our products become contaminated,
our business could be seriously harmed.
We have adopted various quality, environmental,
health and safety standards. However, our products may still not meet these standards or could otherwise become contaminated. A failure
to meet these standards or contamination could occur in our operations or those of our bottlers, manufacturers, distributors or suppliers.
Such a failure or contamination could result in expensive production interruptions, recalls and liability claims. Moreover, negative
publicity could be generated even from false, unfounded or nominal liability claims or limited recalls. Any of these failures or occurrences
could negatively affect our business and financial performance.
Our business may be adversely affected by
unfavorable publicity within the skin care markets.
Management believes that the skin care market
and personal care markets are significantly affected by national media attention. As with any retail provider, future scientific research
or publicity may not be favorable to the industry or to any particular product, and may not be consistent with earlier favorable research
or publicity. Because of our dependence on consumers’ perceptions, adverse publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects
resulting from the use of our products or any similar products distributed by other companies and future reports of research that are
perceived as less favorable or that question earlier research, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations. We are highly dependent upon consumers’ perceptions of the safety and quality of the products as well
as similar products distributed by other companies. Thus, the mere publication of reports asserting that skin care or personal care products
may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations, regardless of whether such reports are scientifically supported or whether the claimed harmful effects would be present at
the dosages recommended for such products.
As we conduct international business transactions,
we will be exposed to local business risks in different countries, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition
or results of operations.
We promote and sell our products internationally
and our licensees do the same. International operations will be subject to risks inherent in doing business in foreign countries, including,
but not necessarily limited to:
•
new and different legal and regulatory requirements in local jurisdictions;
•
potentially adverse tax consequences, including imposition or increase
of taxes on transactions or withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries;
•
risk of nationalization of private enterprises by foreign governments;
•
legal restrictions on doing business in or with certain nations, certain
parties and/or certain products; and,
•
local economic, political and social conditions, including the possibility
of hyperinflationary conditions and political instability.
We may not be successful in developing and implementing
policies and strategies to address the foregoing factors in a timely and effective manner in the locations where we will do business.
Consequently, the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing factors could have a material adverse effect on our base operations and
upon our financial condition and results of operations.
Since our products will be available over the
Internet in foreign countries and we plan to have customers residing in foreign countries, foreign jurisdictions may require us to qualify
to do business in their country. We will be required to comply with certain laws and regulations of each country in which we conduct
business, including laws and regulations currently in place or which may be enacted related to Internet services available to the residents
of each country from online sites located elsewhere.

Table of Contents
Because of the nature of our products, we
may be subject to government regulations or laws that increase our costs of operations or decrease our ability to generate income.
Any failure by us, or by any third party that
may manufacture or market our products, to comply with the law, including statutes and regulations administered by the FDA or other U.S.
or foreign regulatory authorities, could result in, among other things, warning letters, fines and other civil penalties, suspension
of regulatory approvals and the resulting requirement that we suspend sales of our products, refusal to approve pending applications
or supplements to approved applications, export or import restrictions, interruption of production, operating restrictions, closure of
the facilities used by us or third parties to manufacture our product candidates, injunctions or criminal prosecution. Any of the foregoing
actions could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our commercial success depends significantly
on our ability to develop and commercialize our potential products without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties.
Our commercial success will depend, in part, on
operating our business without infringing the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties that believe we are infringing
on their rights could bring actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin the development, marketing and distribution of
our products. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome
of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, we could be required to pay damages and/or to obtain a license to continue
to develop or market our products, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties. However, any such license may not be
available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product or forced to cease some
aspect of our business operations as a result of patent infringement claims, which would harm our business.
The implementation of our business plan
relies on our ability to manage growth. If we are not able to manage the growth, our business plan may not be successfully implemented.
We expect to expand our operations by increasing
our sales and marketing efforts, research and development activities, and escalating our services. The anticipated growth could place
a significant strain on our management, and operational and financial resources. Effective management of the anticipated growth shall
require expanding our management and financial controls, hiring additional appropriate personnel as required, and developing additional
expertise by existing management personnel. However, there can be no assurances that these or other measures we may implement shall effectively
increase our capabilities to manage such anticipated growth or to do so in a timely and cost-effective manner. Moreover, management of
growth is especially challenging for a company with a short revenue generating history and limited financial resources, and the failure
to effectively manage growth could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our success depends on continuing to hire
and retain qualified personnel, including our director and officers and our technical personnel. If we are not successful in attracting
and retaining these personnel, our business will suffer.
Our success depends substantially on the performance
of our management team and key personnel. Currently, we have three employees, including our Director and CEO, Terry Howlett. Due to the
specialized technical nature of our business, we are particularly dependent on our technical personnel. Our future success will depend
on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations, and managerial personnel, as well as
our ability to successfully implement a plan for management succession. Competition for qualified personnel in our business areas is
intense, and we may not be able to continue to attract and retain key personnel. In addition, if we lose the services of any of our management
team or key personnel and are not able to find suitable replacements in a timely manner, our business could be disrupted and we may incur
increased operating expenses.

If
we are unable to attract new distributors and customers, or if our existing
distributors and customers do not purchase additional products, the growth of our business
and cash flows will be adversely affected.
To increase
our revenues and cash flows, we must regularly add distributors and customers and sell additional
products to our existing distributors and customers. If we are unable to sell our products
to customers that have been referred to us, unable to generate sufficient sales leads through our marketing programs, or if our existing
or new distributors and customers do not perceive our products to be of sufficiently high
value and quality, we may not be able to increase sales and our operating results would be adversely affected. In addition, if we fail
to sell new products to existing distributors and customers or new distributors and
customers, our operating results will suffer, and our revenue growth, cash flows and profitability
may be materially and adversely affected.
Key management personnel may leave
us, which could adversely affect our ability to continue operations.
We are entirely dependent on the efforts of our
management because of the time and effort that they devote to us. They oversee all development strategies, supervise any/all future personnel,
and implement our business plan. Their loss, or other key personnel in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
We have identified a material weakness
in our internal controls over financial reporting and we cannot provide assurances that this weakness will be effectively remediated
or that additional material weaknesses will not occur in the future.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of
deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As described in Part
II, Item 9A, "Controls and Procedures," management identified a material weakness as of December 31, 2024 relating to the lack of an
effective risk assessment process that defined clear financial reporting objectives, that identified and evaluated risks of
misstatement due to errors over certain financial reporting processes, or that developed internal controls to mitigate those risks.
As part of management's evaluation of this material weakness, it has been identified that certain other deficiencies in control
activities have materialized as a result of the deficiency in the Company's risk assessment.
We are actively engaged in the planning
for, and implementation of, remediation efforts to address this material weakness, but there can be no assurance that those efforts
will be successful. A material weakness will not be considered remediated until the updated controls have operated for a sufficient
period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that such controls are operating effectively. If we do not remediate
this material weakness in a timely manner, or if additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting are
discovered, they may adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information timely and
accurately and our financial statements may contain material misstatements or omissions. In addition, we may experience delays or be
unable to meet our reporting obligations or to comply with SEC rules and regulations, which could result in investigations and
sanctions by regulatory authorities. Any of these results may, among other adverse consequences, cause investors to lose confidence
in our reported financial information, incur the expense of remediation, result in regulatory scrutiny, litigation, investigations
or enforcement actions, limit our ability to access the capital markets, lead to a decline in our stock price, and otherwise have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Risks Related to Our Securities
If a market for our common stock does not
develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “SKVI”
on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc, an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently
have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that
it will be sustained.
12
Table of Contents
Because we are quoted on the OTCQB, our securities
may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained
if they were listed on a national securities exchange.
Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly,
it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful
in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price
of the stock.
Our common stock price may be volatile and
could fluctuate widely in price, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
The market price of our common stock is likely
to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including:
• technological
innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors;
• government
regulation of our products and services;
• the
establishment of partnerships with other technology companies;
• intellectual
property disputes;
• additions
or departures of key personnel;
• sales
of our common stock
• our
ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services;
• our
ability to execute our business plan;
• operating
results below expectations;
• loss
of any strategic relationship;
• industry
developments;
• economic
and other external factors; and
• period
to period fluctuations in our financial results.
Because we have nominal revenues to date, you
should consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above.
In addition, the securities markets have from
time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies.
These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We have not paid cash dividends in the past
and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the future on our common stock. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our
common stock.
We have never paid cash dividends on our common
stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends on our common stock will depend
on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant.
If we do not pay cash dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock
price appreciates.
As a new investor, you will experience
substantial dilution as a result of future equity issuances.
In the event we are required to raise additional
capital it may do so by selling additional shares of common stock thereby diluting the shares and ownership interests of existing shareholders.
Because we are subject to the “Penny
Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than
$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that
provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with
current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny
stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that
the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These
disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes
subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.

Provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes
and our Bylaws could make it very difficult for an investor to bring any legal actions against our directors or officers for violations
of their fiduciary duties or could require us to pay any amounts incurred by our directors or officers in any such actions.
Members of our board of directors and our officers
will have no liability for breaches of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer, except in limited circumstances, pursuant
to provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws as authorized by the Nevada Revised Statutes. Specifically, Section 78.138
of the Nevada Revised Statutes provides that a director or officer is not individually liable to the company or its shareholders or creditors
for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (1)
the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer
and (2) his or her breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This provision is intended
to afford directors and officers protection against and to limit their potential liability for monetary damages resulting from suits
alleging a breach of the duty of care by a director or officer. Accordingly, you may be unable to prevail in a legal action against our
directors or officers even if they have breached their fiduciary duty of care. In addition, our Bylaws allow us to indemnify our directors
and officers from and against any and all costs, charges and expenses resulting from their acting in such capacities with us. This means
that if you were able to enforce an action against our directors or officers, in all likelihood, we would be required to pay any expenses
they incurred in defending the lawsuit and any judgment or settlement they otherwise would be required to pay. Accordingly, our indemnification
obligations could divert needed financial resources and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows, and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff

companies.
Item 1C. Cybersecurity
We rely on our information technology to operate
our business. As such, we have policies and processes designed to protect our information technology systems and resolve issues in a
timely manner in the event of a cybersecurity threat or incident.
We have designed our business applications and
hosting services to minimize the impact that cybersecurity incidents could have on our business and have identified back-up systems where
appropriate. We seek to further mitigate cybersecurity risks through a combination of monitoring and detection activities, use of anti-malware
applications, quality audits and communication and reporting structures, among other processes.
As of December 31, 2024, we have not identified
an indication of a cybersecurity incident that would have a material impact on our business and consolidated financial statements.
Item 2. Properties
Currently, we do not own any or lease any
real estate.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding.
We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of 5% or more of
our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.

Market Information
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “SKVI”
on the OTCQB operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
The OTCQB is a quotation service that displays
real-time quotes, last-sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities. Because our stock is traded on the
OTCQB, these quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail markup, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions.
Because we are quoted on the OTCQB, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and
generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.
Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often
thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations
or business prospects. We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
The following table sets forth, for the fiscal
quarters indicated, the high and low bid information for our common stock, as reported on the OTCQB. The following quotations reflect
inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer
practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than
$5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current
price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules
require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the
SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available
to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear,
narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the
bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in
the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including
language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
15
Table of Contents
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to
effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation
of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing
the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that
prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written
suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect
of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of April 10, 2025, we had 5,316,843 shares
of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by ___ shareholders of record, other than those held in street name.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation
or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where
after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1.
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual
course of business, or;
2.
our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities
plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving
the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not
plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000

Results of Operations for the Years Ended December
31, 2024 and 2023
Revenues
Our revenue, which we combine from product
sales, royalties on patent licenses and license fees (product development fees), was $20,000 for each of the years ended December
31, 2024 and 2023.
We hope to generate more revenues from our licenses
with Quoin and Ovation in 2025. We also plan to enter into commercial arrangements with pharma and biotech companies to exploit our patent
applications that were recently filed, and we hope to generate revenue from these efforts in the future.
Gross Profit
We had $0 in cost of revenues for the year ended
December 31, 2024 and 2023, so our gross profit was $20,000, or 100% of sales for 2024 and 2023.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $609,589 for the
year ended December 31, 2024, from $510,375 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our operating expenses for all periods consisted
mainly of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses
for the year December 31, 2024, consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages of $351,269 and audit and accounting of $56,857. In comparison,
our selling, general and administrative expenses for the year December 31, 2023, consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages of $356,272
and audit and accounting of $40,638.
We expect our operating expenses will increase
in the future as the Company begins to generate more licensing revenue.
Other Income (Expenses)
We had other income of $23,935 for the year ended
December 31, 2024, as compared with other expenses of $1,892,065 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our other income for the year
ended December 31, 2024, consisted mainly of interest expense netted against a gain on settlement of debt. Our other expenses for the
year ended December 31, 2023 consisted mainly of interest expense, netted against and gain on derivative liability changes.
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $565,654 for the year
ended December 31, 2024, as compared with a net loss of $2,382,440 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
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. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $39,946,142 since its inception and requires capital
for its contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. The Company’s ability to generate the necessary funds
through licensing of its core products or the ability to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock or debt
is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations,
and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. These
factors, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

Table of Contents
As of December 31, 2024, we had total current
assets of $42,028 and total assets in the amount of $158,217. Our total current liabilities as of December 31, 2024, were $3,719,687.
We had a working capital deficit of $3,677,659 as of December 31, 2024, compared with a working capital deficit of $3,476,947 as of December
31, 2023.
Operating activities used $69,834 in cash for
the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with $75,969 used for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our negative operating cash flows
for 2024 was the result of our net loss for the year, mainly offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities and the amortization
of debt discount. Our negative operating cash flows for 2023 was the result of our net loss for the year, mainly offset by changes in
operating assets and liabilities and the amortization of debt discount.
We used cash of $9,218 and $10,521 in investing
activities for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, for the purchase of fixed and intangible assets.
Cash flows provided by financing activities during
the year ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $88,500, as compared with cash provided of $6,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Our positive financing cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024 resulted from common stock issued for cash and proceeds from notes
payable. Our positive financing cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023 resulted from proceeds from related part notes.
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 capital.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2024, 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.
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.

Table of Contents
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
December 31, 2024, we had not recorded a reserve for doubtful accounts.
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.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments
in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief
operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure
of segment profit or loss. This ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how
the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources.
This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early
adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.
The Company adopted the ASU and determined that its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements and related disclosures. As defined in the ASU, operating segments are components of an enterprise about which discrete financial
information is regularly provided to the CODM in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance for the organization.
The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive
Officer. The Company’s CODM reviews consolidated operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance
for the entire Company.
The Company does not believe that other standards, which have been issued but are not yet effective, will have
a significant impact on its financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Skinvisible, Inc
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet of Skinvisible, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’
deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).
In our opinion, the financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Considerations
The accompanying financial statements have been
prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has suffered recurring losses since inception and has
not achieved profitable operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s
plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the
standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess
the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is
a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the
audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinion on
the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
I. Accounting for Convertible
Notes
Critical Audit Matter Description
As discussed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial
statements, the Company issued a convertible note during 2024, which contained embedded features. Under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging ,
management is required to assess whether these embedded features should be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative liabilities.
The auditing of the Company convertible note involved
especially challenging auditor judgment due to the complexity of the embedded features and the application of complex accounting guidance
and consideration of various terms and conditions within the convertible note agreement.
Audit Response
Our audit procedures to address the accounting
of the convertible note included the following, among others:
- We obtained and read the terms
and conditions of the convertible note issued to understand the various features associated with the convertible note.
- We assessed whether the embedded
features met the bifurcation criteria under ASC 815, including the evaluation of whether these features were clearly and closely related
to the debt host.
- We evaluated management’s
application of ASC 815-15 and ASC 480 to determine whether the identified embedded features should be classified as derivatives and assessed
the appropriateness of their conclusions.
- We evaluated the competency and
objectivity of management’s expert engaged by the Company to assist in the accounting analysis of the convertible note.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AND HISTORY
Description of business
Skinvisible,
Inc., (referred to as the “Company”) is focused on the development, manufacture and sales of innovative topical, transdermal
and mucosal polymer-based delivery system technologies and formulations incorporating its patent-pending formula/process for combining
hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer emulsions. The technologies and formulations have broad industry applications within the pharmaceutical,
over-the-counter, personal skincare and cosmetic arenas. Additionally, the Company’s non-dermatological formulations offer solutions
for a broad spectrum of markets including women’s health, pain management, and others. The Company maintains executive and sales
offices in Las Vegas, Nevada.
History
The Company was incorporated in
Nevada on March 6, 1998 , under the name of Microbial Solutions, Inc. The Company underwent a name change on February 26, 1999, when it
changed its name to Skinvisible, Inc. The Company’s subsidiary’s name of Manloe Labs, Inc. was also changed to Skinvisible
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Skinvisible, Inc., together with its subsidiaries,
shall herein be collectively referred to as the “Company.”
2. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
Basis of presentation
The accompanying
audited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation
of financial position and the results of operations for the period presented have been reflected herein.
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. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $ 565,654 The Company
has also incurred cumulative net losses of $ 39,946,142 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational and
marketing activities to take place. These factors, among others, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern within one year from the date of filing. Managements plans for the Company are to generate
the necessary funding through licensing of its core products and to seek additional debt and equity funding. However, the Company’s
ability to generate the necessary funds through licensing or raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock or
debt is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company’s contemplated plan of operations,
and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned
uncertainties.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies
of Skinvisible Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary Skinvisible Pharmaceuticals Inc. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
F- 6
Table of Contents
Use of estimates
The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include estimates used to review the Company’s impairments
and estimations of long-lived assets, allowances for uncollectible accounts, inventory valuation, and the valuations of non-cash capital
stock issuances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
in 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.
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes
of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term instruments with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Fair Value of financial instruments
The
carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and debt (See Notes 6 & 8) approximate their fair values because of
the short-term nature of these instruments. Management believes the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising
from these financial instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s convertible debt is also stated at a fair value of $ 5,724,477
since the stated rate of interest approximates market rates.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that
would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset
or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair
value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy
based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
•
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. The Company
uses Level 1 measurements to value the transactions when it issues shares, warrants, options and debt with beneficial conversion
features.
•
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets; quoted prices included for identical or similar assets and liabilities that are not active; and model-derived valuations
in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. These are typically obtained from
readily available pricing sources for comparable instruments. The Company did not rely on any Level 2 measurements for any of its
transactions in the periods included in these financial statements.
•
Level 3 Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity
for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own beliefs about the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company did not rely
on any Level 3 measurements for any of its transactions in the periods included in these financial statements.
Revenue recognition
We recognize revenue
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as outlined in the Financial Accounting Standard Board's (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, which requires that five steps be followed
in evaluating revenue recognition: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract;
(iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price; and (v) recognize revenue when or as the entity satisfied
a performance obligation.
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.
F- 7
Table of Contents
Distribution and
license rights sales – We also recognize revenue from distribution and license rights when no further contingencies or
material performance obligations are warranted, and thereby have earned the right to receive and retain reasonably assured payments.
The Company has made an accounting policy election
to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the Company
from its customers (sales and use taxes, value added taxes, some excise taxes).
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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had determined
it was not necessary to recognize a reserve for doubtful accounts.
Intangible assets
The Company follows
Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (FASB) Codification Topic 350-10 (“ASC 350-10”), “ Intangibles –
Goodwill and Other ”. According to this statement, intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer subject to amortization,
but rather an annual assessment of impairment by applying a fair-value based test. Under ASC 350-10, the carrying value of assets
are calculated at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows.
Income taxes
The Company accounts for its
income taxes in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 740-10, “ Income Taxes ”, which requires recognition of
deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
Stock-based compensation
The Company
follows the guidelines in FASB Codification Topic ASC 718-10 “ Compensation-Stock Compensation ”, which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee
stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
Earnings (loss) per share
The Company
reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with FASB Codification Topic ASC 260-10 “Earnings Per Share”, Basic earnings
(loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares
available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased
to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and
if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented for the year ending December
31, 2024 since the effect of the assumed exercise of options and warrants to purchase common shares (common stock equivalents) would
have an anti-dilutive effect. There 82,346,405 additional shares issuable in connection with outstanding options, warrants, stock payable
and convertible debts as of December 31, 2024 The shares issuable under each instrument is as follows; 82,346,405 shares issuable under
convertible notes.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements
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),” which reduces the number of accounting models in ASC 470-20
that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features. As a result, a convertible debt instrument will be accounted for as
a single liability measured at its amortized cost as long as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives. By
removing those separation models, the effective interest rate of convertible debt instruments will be closer to the coupon interest rate.
Further, the diluted net income per share calculation for convertible instruments will require the Company to use the if-converted method.
The treasury stock method should no longer be used to calculate diluted net income per share for convertible instruments. The amendment
will be effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including 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. We adopted this ASU for the year ended December 31 ,2022. This ASU had no impact on our financial statements for the years
ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements
to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment
expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as the aggregate amount of other
segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This ASU requires that a public entity disclose the title and
position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance
and deciding how to allocate resources. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods
within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods
presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted the ASU and determined that its adoption did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As defined in the ASU, operating segments are components
of an enterprise about which discrete financial information is regularly provided to the CODM in making decisions on how to allocate resources
and assess performance for the organization. The Company operates and manages its business as one reportable and operating segment. The
Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The Company’s CODM reviews consolidated operating results to make decisions
about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company.
The Company does not believe that other standards, which have
been issued but are not yet effective, will have a significant impact on its financial statements.
4. INTANGIBLE AND OTHER ASSETS
Patents and other intangible assets are capitalized
at their historical cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. As of December 31, 2024 intangible assets total $ 116,189 ,
net of $ 187,483 of accumulated amortization. As of December 31, 2023, intangible assets total $ 127,409 , net of $ 167,045 of accumulated
amortization.
License and distributor rights were acquired by
the Company in January 1999 and provide exclusive use distribution of polymers and polymer based products. The Company has a non-expiring
term on the license and distribution rights. Accordingly, the Company annually assesses this license and distribution rights for impairment
and has determined that no impairment write-down is considered necessary as of December 31, 2024.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
License
Agreement
On
October 17, 2019, Skinvisible entered an Exclusive License Agreement with Quoin pursuant to which Skinvisible 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 Skinvisible
a license fee of $ 1,000,000 and a royalty percentage on all net sales on the licensed products subject to adjustment in certain
situations. The agreement also requires that Quoin make certain milestone payments to Skinvisible upon achieving regulatory approval
milestones for certain drug products.
The
agreement is 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 on December 31,
2019. 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, as amended 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 ( $ 1,000,000 ).
9. INCOME TAXES
The Company provides for income taxes under FASB
ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income
taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred
tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable
income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset
has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is approximately $ 8.4 million as of December 31, 2024 which is calculated by multiplying
a 21 % estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) of approximately $ 40.0 million .
Due to the enactment of the Tax Reform Act of
2017, we have calculated our deferred tax assets using an estimated corporate tax rate of 21 % . US Tax codes and laws may be subject to
further reform or adjustment which may have a material impact to the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Company will recognize interest and penalties
related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had no accrued interest
or penalties related to uncertain tax positions and no amounts have been recognized in the Company’s statement of operations.
The significant components of the Company's deferred
tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements
with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
We (the
“Company”) were informed that Gries & Associates, LLC (“Gries”) had sold its business to GreenGrowth CPAs

accountant to replace Gries. The engagement of GreenGrowth was approved by our Board of Directors.
Item
9A. Controls and Procedures
As required
by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, being December 31, 2024. This evaluation was carried out under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
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 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 controls
and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our company’s reports filed under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon
that evaluation, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
Management’s
Annual Report on Internal Control over Financing Reporting
Our management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations
of the Treadway Commission. As a result of this assessment, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control
over financial reporting was not effective. Our management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting, which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective
risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements
and application of both US GAAP and SEC guidelines.
We plan
to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this annual
report on Form 10-K, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we hope
to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address
inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting
and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out in (i) and (ii) are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing
to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely
affected in a material manner.
This annual
report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated
filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best
of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director, executive officer,
or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer
either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject
to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or
decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining,

found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated
a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.
Audit
Committee
We do
not have a separately designated standing audit committee. The entire board of directors performs the functions of an audit
committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the board of directors when performing the functions of that would
generally be performed by an audit committee. The board of directors approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets
and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the board of directors
reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent
accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing
and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.
We do not
have an audit committee financial expert because of the size of our company and our board of directors at this time. We believe that
we do not require an audit committee financial expert at this time because we retain outside consultants who possess these attributes
as needed.
For the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, the board of directors:
1. Reviewed
and discussed the audited financial statements with management, and
2. Reviewed
and discussed the written disclosures and the letter from our independent auditors on the
matters relating to the auditor’s independence.
3. Based
upon the board of directors’ review and discussion of the matters above, the board
of directors authorized inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 2024, to be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered
class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership
of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial shareholders
are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the best of our knowledge based solely
on a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 (and any amendments thereof) received by us during or with respect to the year ended December 31, 2024,
all filings were timely made.

We adopted
a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting

10KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and filed with the SEC on April 14, 2005.

11. Executive Compensation
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Currently,
the objective of the cash compensation paid by the company is to provide fair reimbursement for the time spent by our executive officer
and independent directors to the extent feasible within the financial constraints faced by our developing business. The stock options
granted to our executive officer and to our independent directors are intended to provide these individuals with incentives to pursue
the growth and development of the company’s operations and business opportunities. Although the options awarded to our executive
and directors are typically exercisable immediately, they also remain valid and exercisable for terms of several years. We believe this
provides the proper balance of short-term and long-term incentives to increase the value of the company. Although an immediate increase
in share price following the issuance of the options would obviously result in a profit if those options were exercised, the longer exercisable
period of the options also provides an incentive to increase value over the long term and gives our executive officer and directors the
opportunity to realize gains based on the sustained growth of our operations and revenues.
In addition,
our sole executive officer holds substantial ownership in the company and is generally motivated by a strong entrepreneurial interest
in expanding our operations and revenue base to the best of his ability.
