Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| 1. | Organization and nature of operations |
PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly Elevai Labs Inc.) (“PMGC”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 9, 2020. During 2024, PMGC completed a reorganization that included a name change and redomiciling from Delaware to Nevada. PMGC and its 100% owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research Inc. (formerly Elevai Research Inc) (“PMGC Research”), PMGC Impasse Corp (formerly Elevai Skincare Inc.), Northstrive Biosciences Inc. (formerly Elevai Biosciences, Inc), and PMGC Capital LLC, are collectively referred to in these consolidated financial statements as “the Company.”
On April 29, 2024, PMGC Impasse Corp (“Skincare”) and Northstrive Biosciences Inc. (“BioSciences”) were incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. PMGC is the sole shareholder of Skincare and BioSciences. The purpose of Skincare was to operate the Company’s skincare business, while the purpose of BioSciences is to hold and develop the Company’s intellectual property. Effective May 1, 2024, PMGC transferred its operating assets and liabilities relating to its skincare business to Skincare in exchange for common stock of Skincare. On November 13, 2024, PMGC Capital LLC (“PMGC Capital”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, with PMGC as the sole shareholder of PMGC Capital.
On November 27, 2024, the Company completed a reverse stock split at a 200:1 ratio, pursuant to which of two hundred shares of common stock prior to the reverse stock split were converted into one share of common stock post-reverse split. In addition, on March 10, 2025, the Company completed a second reverse stock split at a 7:1 ratio, pursuant to which 7 shares of common stock prior to the reverse stock split were converted into one share of common stock post-reverse split. All current and comparative references to the number of common stock, warrants, options, weighted average number of common stock, and loss per share have been retrospectively adjusted to give effect to these reverse stock splits. On a combined basis, this reflects retrospectively a reverse stock split of 1-for-1,400.
On December 31, 2024, PMGC and Skincare entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with an unrelated third party, pursuant to which PMGC agreed to sell and the unrelated third party agreed to purchase, PMGC’s skincare business. The sale of this skincare business was consummated on January 16, 2025. In accordance with ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations”, the assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the skincare business have been presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. The Company also retrospectively adjusted the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024, to reflect discontinued operations separately from continuing operations (Note 4).
Prior to entering into the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company’s principal business was operating a skincare development company engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of skincare products in the skincare industry. With the sale of the skincare business, the Company changed its principal business. After this sale, PMGC became a diversified holding company that manages and grows its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, investments, and development across various industries. PMGC currently manages and operates a diverse portfolio of three wholly owned subsidiaries:
| ● | Northstrive BioSciences Inc. – Biosciences is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and acquisition of cutting-edge aesthetic medicines and therapeutic products. Its lead asset, EL-22, is leveraging a first-in-class engineered probiotic approach to address obesity’s pressing issue of preserving muscle while on weight loss treatments, including GLP-1 receptor agonists. |
| ● | PMGC Research Inc. – PMGC Research is based in Canada and currently dedicated to medical scientific research and development efforts. This company utilizes Canadian research grants and partners with leading Canadian Universities, with aims of pushing the boundaries of innovation. |
| ● | PMGC Capital LLC – PMGC Capital is a multi-strategy investment firm focused on direct investments, strategic lending, and acquiring undervalued companies and assets across diverse markets. This company’s mission is to identify and seize high-potential opportunities, delivering sustainable growth and maximizing returns on capital. |
| 2. | Going Concern |
These unaudited condensed 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 March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company had a net working capital of $6,055,880 and $4,251,867, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $14,878,082 and $13,269,627, respectively. Furthermore, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,608,455 and $1,397,250, respectively and used $1,347,416 and $2,324,068, respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These unaudited condensed 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, and the acquisition of cash flow generating assets or businesses. 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.
| 3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are expressed in United States dollars. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PMGC, and its 100% owned subsidiaries, PMGC Research, Skincare, BioSciences and PMGC Capital. All intercompany accounts, transactions and profits were eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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 investments in securities, 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 unaudited condensed 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 PMGC 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 PMGC 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).
Investments in securities
Investments in securities include publicly traded equity securities and a convertible debenture that is convertible at any time into publicly traded securities. All investments are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with both realized and unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Equity securities have readily determinable fair values and are measured in accordance with ASC 321 – Accounting for Equity Interests. The convertible debenture is measured at fair value under ASC 320 – Investments – Debt Securities.
The cost of securities sold is determined using the specific identification or average cost method. Investments, including publicly traded shares and those that management intends to convert into equity upon favorable market conditions, are classified as current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
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 adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), intended to improve reportable segments disclosure requirements primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.
ASU 2023-07 includes a requirement to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, the title and position of the CODM, 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, and all segments’ profit or loss and assets disclosures. ASU 2023-07 is effective for all public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods for the interim period beginning on January 1, 2025. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
There are no recently issued accounting standards which may have effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements

As a result of the termination, the Company derecognized the associated intangible asset and the related consideration payable, recognizing a gain of $129,613 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
On April 30, 2024, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with a pharmaceutical company granting the Company rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize licensed products (“License # 2”). The Company has classified License # 2 as an IPR&D asset resulting in only the acquisition costs plus any transaction costs to be capitalized upon acquisition. The research and development project associated with License # 2 is not yet complete and as a result the Company has not yet determined the useful life of the IPR&D asset.
The Company paid consideration of $400,000 and 679 shares of common stock with a value of $492,850 to the pharmaceutical company. The shares issued to the pharmaceutical company are unregistered and subject to trading restrictions for six months from the issue date resulting in a fair value discount adjustment of $173,100 on the value of the common stock issued to the pharmaceutical company. The Company incurred transaction costs of $12,320 in legal fees and $1,117,771 in common stock, which were paid to a consultant who assisted in acquiring License # 2. The common stock to be issued to the consultant will be unregistered and subject to trading restrictions for a 1-year period from the issue date of the first tranche resulting in a fair value discount adjustment of $599,863 on the value of the common stock issued to the consultant. The fair value adjustments were calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
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.
| Risk-free interest rate | 5.12-5.44% |
|---|---|
| Expected life | 0.5-1 years |
| Expected dividend rate | 0.00% |
| Expected volatility | 100% |
The consultant who assisted in acquiring License # 2 is to receive 1,750 shares in the following tranches and all shares were earned (i.e. fully vested) upon the Company’s acquisition of License # 2 as follows:
| ● | May 3, 2024: 438 Shares (issued) |
| ● | August 1, 2024: 437 Shares (issued) |
| ● | November 1, 2024: 437 Shares (issued) |
| ● | February 2, 2025: 438 Shares (issued) |
The cost of License # 2 IPR&D asset is $2,023,097, which is the fair value of the consideration paid on initial recognition.
On March 26, 2025, the Company entered into a first amendment to the exclusive license agreement covering License # 2, expanding its rights to include the growing animal health market. The amendment to the existing agreement now covers a broad array of animal health applications, including pharmaceuticals for muscular, metabolic, cardiovascular, neurological, and endocrine conditions, alongside innovative animal health solutions such as feed additive applications. The Company agreed to pay $6,000 and issue 12,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the expansion of its rights under License # 2.
The shares issued to the pharmaceutical company are unregistered and subject to trading restrictions for six months from the issue date resulting in a fair value discount adjustment of $15,624 on the value of the common stock issued to the pharmaceutical company. The fair value adjustments were calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
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.
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.26% |
|---|---|
| Expected life | 0.5 years |
| Expected dividend rate | 0.00% |
| Expected volatility | 100% |
| 10. | Derivative liabilities |
On July 15, 2022, the Company issued 167 common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $2,817 as part of the conversion of promissory notes.
On November 21, 2023, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and issued 54 warrants (the “IPO warrants”). The IPO warrants are exercisable intoone common share of the Company at $5,600 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.
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:
| Derivative liabilities | ||
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding, December 31, 2023 | $369,158 | |
| Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | (369,158) | |
| Outstanding, December 31, 2024 | $ | - |
| Change in fair value of derivative liabilities | - | |
| Outstanding, March 31, 2025 | $ | - |
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 at subsequent period ends. 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
