Elevai Labs Inc

Elevai Labs Inc. (“Elevai”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 9, 2020. Elevai and its 100% owned subsidiary, Elevai Research Inc, are collectively referred to in these consolidated financial statements as “the Company”.

The Company is a skincare development company engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of skincare products in the skincare industry. The Company’s principal activities are developing and manufacturing skincare products.

These audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had a net working capital of $3,622,091 and $963,050, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $7,023,890 and $2,722,373, respectively. Furthermore, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,301,517 and $1,800,268, respectively and used $4,556,811 and $1,585,876, respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These audited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company is aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management’s plans that alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include raising additional debt or equity financing. Although the Company has been successful in raising funds in the past, and expects to do so in the future, there are no guarantees that it will be able to raise funds as anticipated.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company 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 account of Elevai, and its 100% owned subsidiary, Elevai Research. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, the collectability of receivables, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative liabilities and stock options, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Elevai Research is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities, and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

The accounts of Elevai Research are translated to U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Related exchange gains and losses are included in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Reportable Segments and Geographic Areas

The Company has one reportable segment. The Company’s activities are interrelated, and each activity is dependent upon and supportive of the other. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based on analysis of financial products provided as a single global business.

The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted from and its assets are located in the United States Elevai Research, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, is located in Canada and provide limited operational support. The following is a summary of the Company’s operations, assets and liabilities split between the Unites States and Canada:

During 2023, the Company’s started exporting products to international markets. Following is a breakdown of the sales per geographical area:

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate.

The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where financial acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues are recognized under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its products and services to customers in return for expected consideration.

The Company generates revenue through the sale of skincare products. Revenue from the sale of skincare products are recognized at the point in time when the Company considered revenue realized or realizable and earned, which is typically when all of the five following criteria are met: (1) the contract with the customer is identifiable (i.e. when a sales transaction has been entered into between the Company and the customer), (2) the performance obligation in the contract is identifiable (i.e. the customer has ordered a known quantity of product to be delivered), (3) the transaction price is determinable (i.e. the customer has agreed to the Company’s price for the products ordered), (4) the Company is able to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) the performance obligations have been satisfied, which is typically upon delivery of the product to the customer.

Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant agreements; therefore, the Company does not believe that significant judgements are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.

The Company is responsible for providing the products to customers. As a result, the Company is considered the Principal when providing products to customers. As the Company collects payment at the time of the customer order, its contracts do not have a significant financing component. Customers are entitled to replacement or full refund of any damaged or defective product, after the return of the damaged or defective product to the Company. There were no significant returns or refunds during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred in accordance with ASC 730, Research and Development. The Company incurs research and development costs in the pursuit of new products and improving the formulation of existing products. Examples of research costs include laboratory research, studies, surveys, and other activities aimed at acquiring new knowledge. Development costs include expenses incurred in the process of applying research findings or other knowledge to a plan or design for a new product or process. Examples of development costs include engineering, design, testing, and other activities aimed at developing a product or process for commercial production.

Development costs may be capitalized if the following criteria are met: (1) technological feasibility has been established, (2) the Company intends to complete the product or process. (3) the Company has the ability to use or sell the product or process, (4) the product or process will generate future economic benefits, and (5) the costs can be reliably measured.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has not capitalized any development cost.

Marketing and promotion

Costs associated with marketing and promoting the Company’s products are expensed when incurred. The Company includes the cost of products given out as samples in marketing and promotion expenses.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842, “Leases”. We determine if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease at inception of the contract. Leases are classified as either operating or finance leases. All of the Company’s leases have been assessed as operating leases. Accounting for operating leases, other than short term leases, results in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As our lease do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequence of temporary differences between the financial reporting and taxes basis of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount that it believes more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income tax planning, strategies and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that such deferred tax assets will be recognized in the future in excess of the net recorded amount then the deferred tax asset valuation will be adjusted which would reduce the provision for income taxes. Significant judgments and estimates are required in the determination of the consolidated income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to tax assets or liabilities as the Company has incurred losses since inception and has taken a full valuation allowance against its tax loss carry forwards. In addition, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to tax expense or recovery.

The Company records uncertain tax provisions in accordance with ASC 740 based on a two-step process whereby (1) a determination is made about whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in office and administrative expense. The Company did not incur any penalties or interest during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Cash, receivables and refundable deposits are the only financial instruments that are potentially subject to credit risk. The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. Receivables relate to sales taxes paid that is reimbursable from the Canadian government and timing differences on receiving proceeds from sales transactions processed through customer credit cards. Refundable deposits relate to the Company’s security deposit on lease agreements.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is subject to risks from, among other things, competition associated with the industry in general, regulatory environment, other risks associated with financing, liquidity requirements, rapidly changing customer requirements, limited operating history, foreign currency exchange rates and the volatility of public markets.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and cash in demand deposits. Cash equivalents include all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not hold any cash equivalents.

Receivables

All receivables under standard terms are due thirty (30) days from the date billed. If the funds are not received within thirty (30) days, the customer is contacted to arrange payment. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectable receivables. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no allowance for uncollectable receivables recorded.

Inventory

Inventory consist of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s manufacturing process involves the production of our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai Exosomes TM. Finished goods consists of a new generation of cosmetic topical products containing our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai Exosomes TM. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost formula. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less the estimated selling expenses. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventories to net realizable value, if lower.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the life of assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are generally as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets such as equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, a loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the asset.

The Company’s policy for property and equipment requires judgement in determining whether the present value of future expected economic benefits exceeds capitalized costs. The policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future economic benefits related to its operations. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of capitalized cost is unlikely, the capitalized cost is written off/impaired to the consolidated statement of operations.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period.

Common Stock Warrants

The Company classifies as equity any warrants that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) provide the Company with a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any warrants that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control), (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement) or (iii) that contain reset provisions that do not qualify for the scope exception. The Company assesses classification of its common stock warrants at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification is required. Warrants classified as liabilities are initially recorded at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations at each period end while such instruments remain outstanding.

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value, and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to asset or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable, due to related parties and derivative liabilities. Except for cash and derivative liabilities, the Company’s financial instruments’ carrying amounts, excluding unamortized discounts, approximate their fair values due to their short term to maturity. Cash is measured and recognized at fair value based on level 1 inputs for all periods presented. Derivative liabilities are measured and recognized at fair value based on level 3 inputs.

Loss per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The Company’s preferred stock, stock options and warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, are considered potential common shares that could dilute earnings per share, but were not included in the diluted loss per share computation because their effect was antidilutive for the periods presented. As a result, there is no difference between the computation of basic and diluted loss per shares for the periods presented.

Share-Based Compensation

Employees- The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.

Nonemployees- During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $487,738 and $171,869, respectively, in share-based compensation expense, of which $476,905 and $10,833, and $164,907 and $6,962 , respectively is included in office and administration and research and development, respectively.

Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies in similar industries, adjusted for variables such as stock price, market capitalization and life cycle. Due to limited historical data, the expected term for options granted is equal to the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.

New Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, ASC Subtopic 326 “Credit Losses”: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. Since the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Board has provided resources to monitor and assist stakeholders with the implementation of Topic 326. Post-Implementation Review (PIR) activities have included forming a Credit Losses Transition Resource Group, conducting outreach with stakeholders of all types, developing educational materials and staff question-and-answer guidance, conducting educational workshops, and performing an archival review of financial reports. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820.

Stakeholders asserted that the language in the illustrative example resulted in diversity in practice on whether the effects of a contractual restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security should be considered in measuring that equity security’s fair value. Some stakeholders apply a discount to the price of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction, whereas other stakeholders consider the application of a discount to be inappropriate under the principles of Topic 820.

For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, receivables consisted of the following:

The Company records sales taxes receivable for recoverable sales taxes paid on eligible purchases in its Canadian subsidiary. As at December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $nil and $nil, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, prepaid and deposits consisted of the following:

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the security deposit on the Company’s long term lease in the amount of $10,773 and $10,773, respectively, is classified as a non-current deposit on the balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, inventory consisted of the following:

Cost of inventory recognized as expense in cost of sales for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled $363,082 and $251,580, respectively. In addition, the cost of inventory relating to samples given out and expensed in marketing and promotion for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $124,376 and $36,501, respectively. As at December 31 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an allowance for inventory of $nil and $nil, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company capitalized depreciation of $1,354 and $1,478, respectively as part of the production of inventory.

During 2022, the Company entered into a noncancelable operating lease that includes two property location, one which is being used as the Company’s office and the other as its lab for research and development and the production of inventory. The lease had a commencement date of June 1, 2022 and expires on May 31, 2025, after which the term will continue on a month-to-month basis.

On July 3 rd, 2023, the Company amended the terms of the previously entered lease agreement to lease additional office space from the lessor. Rent increased from $10,773 to $13,477 per month commencing July 1, 2023, through May 31, 2025. The lease amendment required a remeasurement of the lease liability which resulted in an increase of $47,986 to the lease liability and an equal increase in the right of use asset as of July 1, 2023.

The Company recognized a total lease cost related to its noncancelable operating lease of $142,741 and $73,802 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The lease cost has been allocated as follows based on the square footage of each property location.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a security deposit of $10,773 (note 5).

Future minimum lease payments under the Company’s operating lease that has an initial noncancelable lease term in excess ofone year at December 31, 2023 are as follows:

On July 3rd, 2023, the Company amended the terms of the previously entered lease agreement on July 4, 2022 to acquire more space. Rent shall increase to $13,476.75 per month commencing July 1, 2023. The Company used a discount rate of 11.50% upon the remeasurement of the lease liability on July 1, 2023, compared to an original discount rate of 8% on lease commencement, as its incremental cost of borrowing due to the amendment. The remaining lease term as of December 31, 2023, is 1.42 years (December 31, 2022 –2.42 years).

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, accounts payable and accrued liabilities consisted of the following:

In April and May 2022, the Company issued promissory notes to five investors (including two related parties of the Company) for a total amount of $183,970. The promissory notes carried simple interest at a rate of 8% per annum. On July 15 2022, the promissory notes and accrued interest of $2,614, converted into the Series A financing round in accordance with the original terms of the agreements. The conversion price was set at $0.80 (60% of the Series A preferred shares financing round price) and as a result the noteholders received 231,828 Series A preferred shares. In addition, the conversion terms contained a 100% warrant coverage ratio resulting in the note holders receiving 231,828 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2.01 (150% of the Series A financing round price).

On July 15, 2022, the Company issued 231,828 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2.01 as part of the conversion of promissory notes (Note 10).

On November 21, 2023, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) (Note 12) and issued 75,000 warrants (the “IPO warrants”). The IPO warrants are exercisable into one common share of the Company at $4 per share and expire on November 21, 2028.

We analyzed the common stock purchase warrants issued as partial settlement of the promissory notes payable and the IPO warrants against the requirements of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that the warrants should be classified as financial liabilities since the terms allows for a cashless net share settlement at the option of the holder.

ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that the warrants be accounted for as derivative liabilities with initial and subsequent measurement at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as other income (expense).

A continuity of the Company’s common stock purchase derivative liability warrants is as follows:

We determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to calculate the fair value as of initial recognition and as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, expected time to expiration or exercise, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

As of December 31, 2023, the following warrants were outstanding:

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the weighted average life of derivative liability warrants outstanding was 3.71 and 4.36 years, respectively.

Common Stock

Authorized

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there is $Nil and $Nil current and deferred income tax expense, respectively, reflected in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

The following are the components of income before income tax reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Component of Loss Before Income Tax

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the ability to recover the deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company began with historical results adjusted for changes in accounting policies and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgement about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company consider three years of cumulative operating income (loss).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had aggregate net operating losses for income tax purposes of $4,168,622 (2022 – $1,615,645) to offset future taxable income in the United States and Canada. As of December 31, 2023, the deferred tax asset related to these loss carry forwards amounted to approximately $1,710,000 (2022 - $662,000) and were fully reserved. Management believes that it is not yet more likely than not that these assets will be realized in the near future.

There were no commitments as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 or during the years then ended.

The Company had an ongoing dispute with a vendor regarding unpaid invoices. The Company disputed the services claimed to have been rendered by the vendor. In May 2023, the Company and the vendor agreed to settle the matter, resulting in the Company agreeing to pay a final settlement of Cnd$12,500 (approximately $9,225), an amount that is significantly less than the unpaid invoices originally claimed by the vendor. The Company included the settlement amount in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and the amount was paid over to the vendor during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Upon the Company’s initial registration of cosmetic products with Health Canada in 2022, the Canadian health ministry confirmed that the ingredients contained in the cosmetic products were permitted for use in cosmetics in Canada, and our cosmetic products as sold were compliant with any applicable requirements of the Food and Drugs Act (Canada) and Cosmetic Regulations pursuant to the Food and Drugs Act (Canada) with respect to all ingredients and composition, including that none of the ingredients contained therein were named on the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist (as published by Health Canada).

Health Canada is responsible for regulation of the sale of cosmetics under the Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations, including the interpretation of what may be represented on labels and in promotional materials regarding the claimed properties of cosmetic products. The Company markets its products in Canada as cosmetics under the Food and Drugs Act, having submitted cosmetic notifications to Health Canada for both products as required by the Cosmetic Regulations. There is no pre-market approval required from Health Canada to market a cosmetic in Canada. In March 2024, The Company received correspondence from Health Canada, advising that Health Canada had reviewed certain undisclosed information about the Company’s products. Health Canada advised that based on this review, the products did not meet Health Canada’s interpretation of the conditions required to market a cosmetic in Canada. In response to Health Canada’s communication, The Company has engaged Health Canada to obtain clarity about the review and how the products can be marked in Canada.

Depending on the outcome of the Company’s engagement with Health Canada, the Company’s products could be subject to additional regulatory requirements in order to be advertised or sold in Canada. Prior to receiving the March 2024 notice, our distribution agreement partner’s sales in Canada contributed $158,603 to our total revenue of $1,712,595, representing about 9.26% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.

As of March 18, 2024, the Company has voluntarily stopped sale of its products in Canada. The Company is working with Canadian regulatory and legal counsel to explore options to rectify the issues raised. This will impede sales in Canada until resolved and raises concerns about our future collaboration with our distributor, Evolve Medical Inc.

Customers

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded 34% of its revenue from its 3 largest customers. The Company’s largest customer, representing $234,800 of revenue, relates to sales to a wholesaler during the period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded 54% of its revenue from its two largest customers, each representing 45% and 9% respectively. The Company’s largest customer, representing $344,018 of revenue, relates to a white label distributor agreement signed during the year.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $49 receivables due from these customers and $7,500 in customer deposits were received from its largest customer.

The Company expects its dependence on these major customers to decrease over time as it enters into additional distributor agreements and builds out its sales team.

Suppliers

During the year end December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had 3 key suppliers that represented approximately 73% and 3 key suppliers that represented approximately 64%, respectively, of the cost incurred in the purchase and production of inventory. The table below represents a breakdown of each supplier as a percentage of the cost incurred (Suppliers are shown from largest to smallest and does not necessarily represent the same suppliers period over period):

The Company continually evaluates the performance of its suppliers and the availability of alternatives to substitute or supplement its inventory production supply chain. The Company believes that a breakdown in supply from one of its key suppliers would be overcome in a short amount of time given the availability of alternatives.

Management has evaluated events subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2023 up to March 28, 2024, for transactions and other events that may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

From January 2 to February 13, 2024, the Company issued 12,500 stock options to purchase common stock of the company at an exercise price equal to $5.00 per share that mature in 10 years.

On March 6, 2024, the Company issued 80,000 stock options to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share that mature in 10 years. Additionally,160,000 stock options previously issued were repriced from $5.00 per share to $1.00 per share.
