REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the

Board of Directors of

Cosmos Health Inc. and subsidiaries

Thessaloniki, Greece

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cosmos Health Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses and will require additional capital to continue as a going concern. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may 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 audit. 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 U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters 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 matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Intangibles assets, and bargain purchase gain arising from the acquisition of Cana Laboratories Holdings (Cyprus) Limited (“Cana”)–** Refer to Notes 1, 2, and 5 to the financial statements**

Critical Audit Matter Description

In an acquisition when the purchase price is less than the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired, the result is a Bargain Purchase Gain. As disclosed in Note 1, on June 30, 2023, the Company acquired Cana Laboratories Holdings (Cyprus) Limited (“Cana”), which wholly owned an operating subsidiary, Pharmaceutical Laboratories Cana S.A. (“Cana SA”), for €800,000 ($873,600) in cash and 46,377 shares of common stock, with fair value of $138,667 as of the date of acquisition. Moreover, on February 28, 2023, the Company had signed a Secured Promissory Note with Cana, whereby Cana borrowed the sum of €4,100,000 ($4,457,520), included in the total consideration of $5,469,787. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. Auditing the accounting for the acquisition was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the fair values of identifiable intangible assets, and the bargain purchase gain.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased effort, including the need to involve a fair value specialist.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included, among others:

Impairment Assessments of Intangible Assets–** Refer to Notes 1, 2 and 5 to the financial statements**

Critical Audit Matter Description

As described in Note 5 to the financial statements, the Company’s intangible assets was approximately $7.7 million as of December 31, 2023. The intangible assets consisted of goodwill, licenses, distribution network and customer base and software. Management tests these assets annually for impairment or more frequently when potential impairment triggering events are present. Goodwill is tested for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the intangible asset impairment assessments is a critical audit matter because (i) the significant, subjective and complex judgments used by management when determining the fair value estimates of the reporting units; (ii) the high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the significant assumptions used in management’s fair value estimates; and (iii) the audit effort involved in the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge including a valuation expert.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the financial statements. These procedures included, among others:

The Company issued 99,710 shares of common stock related to the acquisition of the customer base, based on the fair value of the stock on acquisition date. The Company accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 and recorded $425,411 as an intangible asset related to the customer base acquired.

Buildings Acquisitions

On April 24, 2023, the Company purchased a building for a total sum of $1,054,872 in cash. The Company accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 and recorded the cost of the building as “Property, plant and equipment” on the consolidated balance sheets.

On January 6, 2023, the Company agreed to purchase land and building located in Montreal, Canada from a third-party vendor. The total purchase price amounts to $3,950,000 and the closing date of the agreement based on the amendment signed on July 19, 2023, is December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has made prepayments of $2,000,020 classified as “Advances for building’s acquisition” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Cana

On June 30, 2023, the Company acquired Cana Laboratories Holding (Cyprus) Limited (“Cana”), which wholly owned an operating subsidiary, Pharmaceutical Laboratories Cana S.A. (“Cana SA”) for €800,000 ($873,600) in cash and 46,377 shares of common stock, with fair value of $138,667 as of the date of acquisition. Moreover, on February 28, 2023, the Company had signed a Secured Promissory Note with Cana, whereby Cana borrowed the sum of €4,100,000 ($4,457,520), included in the total consideration of $5,469,787. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business acquisition in accordance with ASC 805. The fair value of Cana assets acquired, and liabilities assumed was based upon management’s estimates assisted by an independent third-party valuation firm. The fixed assets of Cana (which included land, building & machinery) were valued as of December 31, 2022 and the Company believes that nothing has materially changed between such date and the acquisition date (June 30, 2023). The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of purchase price of the acquisition:

During the prior year period, Cana had minimal operations as it was in financial difficulties and seeking for an investor. Therefore, we consider that presenting prior period pro forma financial information pursuant to ASC 805 would not provide meaningful information.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the year ended period December 31, 2023, the Company had revenue of $53,376,874, net loss of $18,542,654 and net cash used in operations of $14,998,919. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023, the Company had positive working capital of $12,285,310, an accumulated deficit of $91,644,233, and stockholders’ equity of $36,043,028. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of this filing.

The Company’s revenues are not able to sustain its operations, and concerns exist regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company is subject to a number of risks to those of smaller commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other pharmaceutical and health care companies.

Management evaluated the above conditions which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to determine if it can meet its obligations for the subsequent 12 months from the date of this filing. Management considered its ability to access future capital, curtail expenses if needed, expand product lines, and acquire new products.

Management’s plans include expansion of brand name products to the market, expanding the current product portfolio, and evaluating acquisition targets to expand distribution. Furthermore, the Company intends to vertically integrate the supply chain distribution network. Finally, the Company plans to access the capital markets further in order to raise additional funds through equity offerings. More specifically, management will consider postponing the repayment of its outstanding Trade Facility ($1,908,195 balance as of December 31, 2023), intends to make substantial efforts to receive additional debt financing in conjunction with utilizing potential equity proceeds by its outstanding warrants. Moreover, the Company’s management is considering of postponing certain repayments of suppliers and creditors. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described herein and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

Considering the above, management is of the view that substantial doubt exists for the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, SkyPharm S.A., Decahedron Ltd., Cosmofarm S.A., Cana Laboratories Holding (Cyprus) Limited and ZipDoctor Inc. The Group’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidation of all entities in which the Company has control, as determined by the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the entities’ economic performance. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

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 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Effects of War in the Ukraine

On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine. There continues to be sustained conflict and disruption in the region, which is expected to endure for the foreseeable future. We do not conduct any commercial transactions with either Ukraine or Russia and the Company and, as such, is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such political issues and conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if they escalate in areas in which we do business. In addition, changes in and adverse actions by governments in foreign markets in which we do business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Furthermore, amendments ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 provided additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales to its customers and the loans that it has provided. The Company assesses each customer’s/ borrower’s ability to pay, and a credit loss estimate by conducting a credit review which includes consideration of established credit rating, or an internal assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness based on an analysis of their payment history when a credit rating is not available. The Company monitors credit exposure through active review of customer balances. The Company’s expected credit loss (“ECL) methodology for accounts receivable is developed through consideration of factors including, but not limited to, historical collection experience, current customer credit ratings, current customer financial condition, current and future economic and market conditions, and age of the receivables. More specifically, the Company assesses a number of customers with significant long outstanding balances on an individual basis, applying different credit loss percentages to them, and subsequently summarizes the ones not included in the individual analysis, groups them based on their rating (decided based on the factors described above) and applies specific credit loss percentages to each group. The Company has elected to follow the simplified ECL approach and for the period ended December 31, 2023 applied a 5% loss rate to all balances outstanding for more than 90 days and 1% loss rate to the total outstanding balance. The charges related to credit losses are included in “General and administrative expenses” and are recorded in the period that the outstanding receivables are determined to be doubtful. Account balances are written-off against the allowance when they are deemed uncollectible.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Loss

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Euro and British Pound. For financial reporting purposes, both the Euro (“EUR”) and British Pound (“GBP”) have been translated into United States dollars ($) and/or (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other comprehensive loss. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of EUR or GBP to USD after the balance sheet date.

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the consolidated results of operations as incurred.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Euros into USD and British Pounds into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no cash equivalents.

The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars, in Greece denominated in Euros, U.S. Dollars and Great Britain Pounds (British Pounds Sterling), and in Bulgaria denominated in Euros. The Company also maintains bank accounts in the United Kingdom, denominated in Euros and Great Britain Pounds (British Pounds Sterling). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the aggregate amount in these foreign accounts were $1,047,738 and $831,793, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $48,590 and $15,690, respectively.

Reclassifications to Prior Year Financial Statements and Adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior year to conform with current year presentation. As of December 31, 2022, $421,302, $322,010, $120,294 and $66,401 (an aggregate total of $930,006) was reclassified from “Prepaid expenses and other current assets,” “Other assets,” “Accounts receivable – related party,” and “Prepaid expenses and other current assets – related party,” respectively to “Accounts receivable, net”. Moreover, $248,678 was reclassified from “Financing lease right-of-use asset” to “Operating lease right-of-use asset” and $247,595 was reclassified from Financing Lease Liabilities to Operating Lease Liabilities as of the year ended, December 31, 2022. Finally, an amount of $1,784,751 was reclassified from “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” to “Other current liabilities” as of the year ended, December 31, 2022. These reclassifications had no impact on earnings or stockholders’ equity.

Accounts Receivable & Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for credit losses against gross accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables’ portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s allowance for credit losses was $19,686,091 and $7,309,311, respectively. Below is the summary of changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

Tax Receivables

The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”), income taxes, and other taxes within the normal course of its business in most of the countries in which it operates related to the procurement of merchandise and/or services it acquires and/or on sales and taxable income. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, this creates a VAT payable to the government. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable from the government. The VAT tax return is filed on a monthly basis offsetting the payables against the receivables. In observance of EU regulations for intra-EU cross-border sales, our subsidiaries in Greece, SkyPharm and Cosmofarm, do not charge VAT for sales to wholesale drug distributors registered in other European Union member states. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had a VAT net receivable balance of $187,512 and a net receivable balance of $79,373 respectively, recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as prepaid expenses and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory is stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e., packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.

The Company writes down inventories to net realizable value based on physical condition, expiration date, current market conditions, as well as forecasted demand. The Company’s inventories are not highly susceptible to obsolescence. Many of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to our suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met. No significant judgments have been applied in estimating the selling price of our inventory.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives (except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life) of the assets as follows:

Depreciation expense was $353,043 and $70,109 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Property and Equipment additions

Property and Equipment additions are recognized as assets when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Additions are initially measured at cost, which includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. This may include purchase price, freight, installation, and any directly attributable professional fees. They are capitalized if their cost exceeds a certain threshold. The threshold is determined based on materiality considerations. Costs below the threshold are typically expensed as incurred. After initial recognition, additions are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated systematically over the estimated useful life of the asset. They are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized, and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted accordingly. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, including Property and Equipment additions, are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Long-lived Assets, property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no impairment of long-lived assets.

Goodwill and Intangibles, net

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. First, under step 0, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. Following, if step 0 fails, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

On December 19, 2018, as a result of the acquisition of Cosmofarm, the Company recorded $49,697 of goodwill.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recorded on the basis of cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a useful life of 5 years for an import/export license and a useful life of ten years for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products licenses included in Note 4 as “Licenses”. A useful life of ten years is also used for the platforms included in Note 4 as “Software” and the customer bases. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets annually to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset will be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. As of December 31, 2023, no revision to the remaining amortization period of the intangible assets was made.

Amortization expense was $239,841 and $33,085 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Equity Method Investment

For those investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company records its share in the earnings of the investee and is included in “Equity earnings of affiliate” in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses its investment for other-than-temporary impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable and recognizes an impairment loss to adjust the investment to its then current fair value.

Investments in Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). Equity securities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Equity securities that are readily available for sale in current operations are reported as a component of current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity securities that are not considered available for use in current operations would be reported as a component of long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, the Company elects a measurement alternative to fair value. Under this alternative, the Company measures the investments at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in transactions for identical or similar investments of the investee. The election to use the measurement alternative is made for each eligible investment.

As of December 31, 2023, investments consisted of (i)3,000,000 shares, which traded at a closing price of $0 per share or a value of $0 of ICC International Cannabis Corp and (ii)16,666 shares which traded at a closing price of $0.70 per share or value of $11,596 of National Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Company has $8,479 in equity securities of Pancreta Bank, which are revalued annually. As of December 31, 2022, investments consisted of (i)3,000,000 shares, which traded at a closing price of $0 per share or a value of $0 of ICC International Cannabis Corp and (ii)16,666 shares which traded at a closing price of $0.40 per share or value of $6,681 of National Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Company has $8,200 in equity securities of Pancreta Bank, which are revalued annually. See Note 2 for additional investments in equity securities.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, on a recurring basis:

In addition, ASC 825-10-25, Fair Value Option, (“ASC 825-10-25”), expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Our financials also included the following financial instruments as of December 31, 2023: cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, loans receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and lines of credit. Except for the loans receivable which carry fixed interest rates, the carrying value of the remaining instruments, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Customer Advances

The Company receives prepayments from certain customers for pharmaceutical products prior to those customers taking possession of the Company’s products. The Company records these receipts as current liabilities until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including passing control of the products to its customer, at such point, the Company will reduce the customer advances balance and credit the Company’s revenues.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC Topic 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company uses a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps:

Wholesale revenue and sales of own branded nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products

The Company has contracts or signed partnership forms (usual in the wholesale sector of the pharma industry) with its customers, stipulating the enforceable rights and obligations. The Company is responsible for transferring the goods to the customer’s location, which represents its sole performance obligation. Thus, the transaction price, which is predetermined in most of the products sold, is exclusively allocated to this performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at a single point in time, which is upon issuance of the corresponding sales invoice. The Company has assessed the impact of the items invoiced but not delivered to the customer’s location as of December 31, 2023, and deemed that it had no material effect.

Pharma manufacturing

The Company has active contracts with its customers, stipulating the enforceable rights and obligations. The Company is responsible for the manufacturing and the packaging of specific products assigned by its customers, which represents its performance obligations to which the Company allocates the transaction price determined. The customers are responsible for providing the raw materials to the Company. Revenue is recognized over a period of time, which is during the production and packaging period of the respective products. As of December 31, 2023 there were no products or batches of products for which the production or packaging phase was in progress.

Medihelm SA

Commencing from January 1, 2023, and pursuant to the agreement with Medihelm, the exclusive distributor of the Company’s own proprietary line of nutraceuticals, the Company considers the transaction price to be variable and records an estimate of the transaction price, subject to the constraint for variable consideration. The Company is basing the change in transaction price with the exclusive distributor through assessment of significant overdue receivables from the exclusive distributor, which the Company reassesses each reporting period. Through this assessment, the Company applied the “expected value” model under ASC 606-10-32-5 and had applied specific constraints to revenue due from the customer at the end of each reporting period. Following the application of the “expected value” model, the Company deferred an amount of $397,000 and recorded it against the sales to Medihelm for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company does not consider that sales to any other customer include a variable component as of December 31, 2023.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.

The Company had no clients which contributed 10% or more of revenue and accounts receivable, respectively for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. 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.

The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom. The corporate income tax rate is 22% in Greece and 25% in the United Kingdom. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2023, we believe our United Kingdom and Greece deferred tax assets will not be realized, as such, we did not record a reversal on the full valuation approach we followed during the period ended December 31, 2022.

Leases

The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. For all leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both measured at the present value of future lease payments. Lease payments are recognized as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset are recognized separately in the income statement. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company in negotiating and securing leases are capitalized and amortized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The assets and liabilities from operating and finance leases are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using the average interest rate of our long-term debt on the date of inception.

Retirement and Termination Benefits

Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to lump-sum compensation in the event of termination or retirement. The amount depends on the employee’s work experience and renumeration as of the day of termination or retirement. If an employee remains with the company until full-benefit retirement, the employee is entitled to a lump-sum equal to 40% of the compensation to be received if the employee were to be dismissed on the same day. The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgments related to the application of the relevant labor law regulations to determine retirement and termination benefits obligations of its Greek subsidiaries. The Company has evaluated the impact of these regulations and has identified a potential retirement and termination benefits liability. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, was $408,665 and $0, respectively, and has been recorded as a long-term liability within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company engaged an actuarial expert for the first time, during the period ended December 31, 2023, and thus the liability of $408,665 is the cumulative effect of the 2-year period ended December 31, 2023. The effect allocated to the prior period ended December 31, 2022, would have been $147,776.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share

Basic income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

Common stock equivalents are included in the diluted income per share calculation only when option exercise prices are lower than the average market price of the common shares for the period presented.

The following table summarizes the potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 as such shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements related disclosures.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). Topic 848 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to transactions affected by reference rate (e.g., LIBOR) reform if certain criteria are met, for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The ASU deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The ASU is effective as of December 21, 2022 through December 31, 2024. We continue to evaluate transactions or contract modifications occurring as a result of reference rate reform and determine whether to apply the optional guidance on an ongoing basis. We adopted ASU 2022-06 during 2022. The Company adopted this ASU on June 30, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s accounting and disclosures.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. This ASU eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which was adopted on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2022-02 also enhances the disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the ASU amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require entities to disclose current period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of ASC 326-20. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of the ASU would be applied prospectively. Early adoption is also permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This ASU was adopted on January 1, 2023, which resulted in no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The new guidance creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The new guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and include interim periods. The Company adopted this ASU which resulted in no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 –EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

Distribution and Equity Agreement

On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Marathon was formed to be a global supplier of cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD) and/or any cannabis extract products, extracts, ancillaries and derivatives (collectively, the “Products”). The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. The Company has no present intention to distribute any Products under this Agreement in the United States or otherwise participate in cannabis operations in the United States. The Company intended to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market.

The above transaction closed on May 22, 2018 after the due diligence period, following which the Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in common shares of the Company if it failed to meet certain performance milestones. The Company was entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000. The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors. Since Marathon was a newly formed entity with no assets and no activity, the Company attributed no value to the 5 million shares in Marathon which was received as consideration for the distribution services.

The Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement was to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five years of the agreement. On March 20, 2023, the Company sent a termination notice, to Marathon, which became effective on April 19, 2023 as a result of Marathon’s failure to satisfy these conditions. The Company had accounted for its obligation to issue a variable number of the Company’s Common Shares as Share-settled debt obligation in accordance with ASC Topic 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”), which was measured at fair value or the settlement amount of $1,554,590 (CAD $2 million). Due to termination of the Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,554,590 due to the write-off of the share settled debt obligation, for the year ended December 31, 2023.

CosmoFarmacy LP

In September 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party to incorporate CosmoFarmacy L.P. for the purpose of providing strategic management consulting services and the retail trade of pharmaceutical products, and OTC to pharmacies. CosmoFarmacy was incorporated with a 30-year term through May 31, 2049. The unaffiliated third party is the general partner (the “GP”) of the limited partnership and is responsible for management and decision-making associated with CosmoFarmacy. The initial share capital was set to EUR 150,000 ($163,080) which was later increased to EUR 500,000 ($543,600). The GP contributed the pharmacy license (the “License”) valued at EUR 350,000 (30-year term) to operate the business of CosmoFarmacy in exchange for a 70% equity ownership. The Company is a limited partner and contributed cash of EUR 150,000 ($163,080) for the remaining 30% equity ownership. CosmoFarmacy is not publicly traded and the Company’s investment has been recorded using the equity method of accounting. The value of the investment as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, was $165,930 and $160,470, respectively, and is included in “Other assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 4 – PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and equipment, net consists of the following at December 31, 2023 and 2022:

NOTE 5 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of the following at December 31, 2023 and 2022:

At December 31, 2023, the estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for each of the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

NOTE 6 – LOAN RECEIVABLE

On October 30, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for a ten-year loan with Medihelm SA to memorialize €4,284,521 ($4,849,221) in prepayments the Company had made. The prepayments to Medihelm SA had been made in accordance with the parallel export business, through which Medihelm supplied and would supply SkyPharm SA with branded pharmaceuticals. This business is no longer in place for the Company and thus the Company entered into this agreement with Medihelm SA in order for the outstanding amount to be settled. Interest is calculated at a rate of 5.5% per annum on a 360-day basis. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is to receive 120 equal payments over the term of the loan. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a short-term receivable balance of $377,038 and a long-term receivable balance of $3,792,034 under this loan. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received €352,438 ($389,867) in principal payments such that as of December 31, 2023, the Company had a short-term receivable balance of $411,858 and a long-term receivable balance of $3,509,200 under this loan. The Company also received €174,711 ($193,265) in interest payments during year ended December 31, 2023. The Note is considered fully recoverable and all capital and interest repayments due as of December 31, 2023 have been settled.

NOTE 7 – CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100 million shares of preferred stock, of which 6,000,000 are designated as Series A convertible preferred stock. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference over the common stock and is non-voting. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, all Series A convertible preferred stock had been converted and no preferred shares were issued and outstanding.

Major Rights & Preferences of Series A Preferred Stock

On and effective October 4, 2021, the Company amended and restated its articles of incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Articles”) and filed a certificate of designation (the “COD”) for its Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) with the State of Nevada. The Amended and Restated Articles allow the Company’s Board of Directors the authority to authorize the issuance of preferred stock from time to time in one or more classes or series by resolution. On February 23, 2022, the Company filed Correction No. 1 to the COD. On July 28, 2022, the Company filed an Amendment to the COD with the State of Nevada to allow a holder to waive application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation with respect to the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.

With respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, all shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will rank: (i) senior to all of the Company’s Common Stock and any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future, (ii) equal to any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities are on parity or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (“Parity Securities”), (iii) junior to all other equity securities the Company issues, the terms of which specifically provide that such equity securities rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, and (iv) junior to all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness; without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders.

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “Liquidation”), the Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be first entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its shareholders.

Each Holder shall not be entitled to vote with holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class, with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company for their action or consideration, except as provided by law or as set forth in the COD. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock to the same extent as if the holders of Series A Preferred Stock had converted such shares into shares of Common Stock.

The Series A Preferred Stock was initially convertible into the Company’s Common Stock as determined by dividing the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted by the lower of (i) $75.00 or (ii) 80% of the average volume weighted average price for the Company’s Common Stock for the five trading days immediately following the effectiveness of the registration statement concerning the shares (the “Conversion Price”). On June 14, 2022, the Conversion Price was reset to $15.54 per share.

Each holder is entitled to receive dividends in shares of Series A Preferred Stock or cash determined based on the stated value of each Series A Preferred Stock at the dividend rate of 8.0% per year. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $372,414 as a deemed dividend in accordance with the Series A Preferred Stock cumulative dividend. As of December 31, 2022, the cumulative dividend has been recorded as mezzanine equity. Following, Mr. Siokas waiver of the right to receive the dividends on February 26, 2024 and the unanimous written consent of the Company’s Board of Directors on February 29, 2024, through which was resolved that the Company shall remove all accrued and unpaid dividends payable to the previous holders of Series A Preferred stock, the Company eliminated the total deemed dividend of $372,414 through retained earnings. Thus, the balance of mezzanine equity as of December 31, 2023 is $0.

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with certain investors and an insider for a private placement of the Company’s securities (the “Private Placement”).

The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 6,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series A Shares, at a price of $1,000 per share, and 80,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, or the Warrants, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6 million. The Warrants were initially exercisable to purchase shares of common stock at $82.50 per share, or 110% of the Series A Shares initial conversion price and will expire five and one-half years following the initial exercise date of the Warrants. The Company determined that the 80,000 warrants are additional value being distributed to the preferred stockholders and presented the warrants’ fair value of $5,788,493 as a deemed dividend on issuance of warrants in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following terms: a) exercise price of $82.50, b) common stock fair value of $85.50, c) volatility of 118%, d) discount rate of 1.71%, e) term of 5.50 years and f) dividend rate of 0%.

The closing of the Private Placement occurred on February 28, 2022. As a condition to the closing of the sale, the Company’s common stock received conditional approval for listing and trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading on February 28, 2022, under the trading symbol COSM. Concurrent with the issuance of the Series A Shares, the Company executed a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the Series A Shares. The Company was required to file its initial registration statement within 45 days following February 28, 2022. The Effectiveness Date was required to be 60 days after February 28, 2022, or 75 days following the SEC’s full review, and any additional registration statements that may be required are to be filed within 20 days following the date required by the SEC. If the Company fails to timely file its initial registration statement, or any additional registration statement, or otherwise comply with the requirements of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall pay each holder 2% of the subscription amount in cash until cured, with an additional penalty of 18% if the cash payment is not made within seven days of the cash payable date.

The Company filed its initial registration statement on May 25, 2022, and thus accrued for liquidated damages payable to the holders in the amount of $250,260, calculated as described above, for both the late filing of the registration statement (event) andthe 1st anniversary (30 days following the event date) of the event, which, along with an additional lump sum amount of $2,000,000 agreed to be paid to the investors as additional damages, led to a total amount of $2,250,260 concerning liquidated damages related to the February Private Placement within the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes using an asset and liability approach under which deferred income taxes are provided for based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the taxes become payable.

The domestic and foreign components of income (loss) before (benefit from) provision for income taxes were as follows:

The components of the (benefit from) provision for income taxes are as follows:

The reconciliation of income tax expense computed at the U.S. federal statutory rate to the income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

Companies subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provision (GILTI) have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for outside basis temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI. We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

At December 31, 2023, the Company had U.S. net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $21,516,941 that may be offset against future taxable income, subject to limitation under IRC Section 382. Ofthe $21.5 million Federal NOL carryforwards, $2.5 million are pre-2018 and begin to expire in 2031. The remaining balance of $19 million, are limited to utilization of 80% of taxable income but do not have an expiration. At December 31, 2023, the Company had Greek NOL carryforwards of $2,240,902 and had UK NOL carryforwards of $1,753,800. A valuation allowance exists for all operations, based on a more likely than not criterion and in consideration of all available positive and negative evidence.

ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses (“NOLs”), temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company’s history of domestic operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance, on all our deferred tax asset. Management considered all available evidence to when evaluating the realizability of foreign deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and concluded primarily based upon a strong earnings history that these deferred tax assets were more-likely-than-not realizable.

The Company applied the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense.

The Company files income tax returns in Illinois, United States, and in foreign jurisdictions including Greece and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2023, all domestic tax years are open to tax authority examination due the availability of net operating loss deductions, 2010 through 2023. In Greece, the statute of limitations is open for five years, 2018 through 2023. In the United Kingdom, the statute of limitations is open for four years, 2019 through 2023. Currently, there are no ongoing tax authority income tax examinations.

However, as the benefit from a significant portion of the prepaid balance would not have been realized within a 12-month period, the Company opted to secure a portion of the outstanding prepaid balance through a loan agreement.

NOTE 11 – CONVERTIBLE DEBT

A summary of the Company’s convertible debt during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is presented below:

December 21, 2020 Securities Purchase Agreement

On December 21, 2020 the Company entered into a convertible promissory note with Platinum Point Capital, LLC (the “Holder”, “Lender” or “Platinum”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”).

The Company issued the $540,000 Note in exchange for $500,000 in cash and included a $40,000 Original Issue Discount (“OID”) and paid $3,000 in financing costs. The principal amount together with interest at the rate of eight percent (8.0%) per annum, compounded annually (the “Interest Rate”), will be paid to the Lenders on or before the Maturity Date (December 31, 2021 or as defined below). Accrued interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In the event that on or before the Maturity Date, the Note either (i) had not been converted or have not been otherwise satisfied in full or (ii) an Event of Default (as defined in the SPA) occurs, then the applicable rate of interest on the outstanding amount of the Note since inception shall be the Interest Rate plus eighteen percent (18.0%), the Default Interest. Unless previously converted, the principal and accrued interest on the Note is due and payable in cash (USD) upon the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021, (ii) a Change of Control (as defined in the SPA) or (iii), an Event of Default (collectively, the “Maturity Date”).

On May 1, 2022, the Company issued 1,574 shares of common stock to convert the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $26,515. Following the conversion, the outstanding balance of the above Note is $0. Upon conversion, the 1,574 shares were issued at a fair value of $38,144 which was recorded as equity. Accordingly, upon conversion, the Company reduced its derivative liability by $11,629 (see Note 7).

The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a derivative liability which is accounted for separately. The Company determined a derivative liability exists and determined that the embedded derivative was valued at $456,570 which was recorded as a debt discount, and together with the original issue discount and transaction expenses of $43,000, in the aggregate of $499,570, is being amortized over the life of the loan. As of December 31, 2022 the full amount of the debt discount has been amortized. Therefore, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the derivative liability was $0 and $0, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss on the change in fair value of the derivative of $0 and a loss of $5,807, respectively.

January 7, 2021 Subscription Agreement

On January 7, 2021 (the “Issue Date”), the Company entered into a subscription agreement with an unaffiliated third party, whereby the Company issued for a purchase price of $100,000 in principal amount, a convertible promissory note. The note bore an interest rate of 8% per annum and originally matured on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company listing its common shares on the NEO Stock Exchange or (ii) October 31, 2021.

However, the listing to NEO Stock Exchange did not occur. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had a principal balance of $100,000 and had accrued $13,740 in interest expense. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid the balance in full.

The Company determined that the embedded conversion feature of the convertible promissory note meets the definition of a derivative liability which is accounted for separately. The Company measured the embedded derivative valued at $62,619 which was recorded as a debt discount and additional paid-in capital and was being amortized over the life of the loan. As of December 31, 2022, the debt discount had been fully amortized. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of the derivative liability was $0 and $54,293, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $3,384 and $14,450, respectively, from the change in fair value of derivative liability, which is included in “Other expense, net" in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Company considered both the note payable and conversion feature separately and upon settlement. The Company re-valued the conversion feature to fair value and applied extinguishment accounting as the debt has now been settled. Because the conversion feature is extinguished upon settling the note, the value of the conversion feature goes though debt extinguishment and the Company recorded a gain on settlement of debt, which totaled $50,909 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Convertible Promissory Note and Securities Purchase Agreement

On September 17, 2021 (the “Issue Date”), the Company entered into a convertible promissory note and securities purchase agreement with an unaffiliated third party.

Convertible Promissory Note

The note was issued with an original issue discount (“OID”) of $25,000, bears an interest rate of 10% per annum and matures on the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company listing its common shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market or (ii) September 17, 2022.

Upon the consummation of our Nasdaq listing in 2022, the total principal and accrued interest outstanding on the note would convert into shares of the Company’s common stock at a 30% discount to the prices of the common shares sold in the financing to be conducted in conjunction with our Nasdaq listing, subject to a conversion floor of $75.00. However, the Company, upon agreement with the third party, did not convert the note and fully repaid it in cash on October 21, 2022.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company repaid the remaining outstanding balance of the note and thus its outstanding balance as of the end of the period was $0. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount in the amount of $0 and $18,185, respectively, which is included in "Non-cash interest expense" on the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

The Series A Preferred Stock will be convertible into the Company’s Common Stock as determined by multiplying the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted by the lower of(i) $100.00 or (ii) 80% of the average volume weighted average price for the Company’s Common Stock for the five days prior to the date of Uplisting, subject to a floor of $75.00 per share. The shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants are subject to a Registration Right Agreement. The Warrant has an exercise price equal to 110% of the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock and expires five years from the date of issuance.

The SPA is subject to certain conditions to close. As of December 31, 2023 and the date of this filing, the conditions to close had not been met, the funds have not been transferred, the preferred shares and the warrant was not issued. The SPA automatically terminated on March 31, 2022.

Solgar Inc., a competitor of the Company, sued SkyPharm for product homogeneity regarding the nutraceutical line “Sky Premium Life”. As a result, Solgar requested the prohibition for SkyPharm to manufacture, import and sell, market or in any way possess and distribute, including internet sales and advertise in any way in the Greek market of “Sky Premium Life” due to homogeneity with Solgar’s products.

On July 22, 2015, the National Medicines Agency approved the license of wholesale sale of pharmaceutical products under the name SkyPharm SA with set validity at five years and an expiration date of July 22, 2020. Subsequently, SkyPharm on June 15, 2020, legally and timely submitted the application for renewal of the wholesale license of pharmaceutical products to the National Medicines Agency. The National Medicines Agency did not respond, therefore the Company asked for an immediate decision on the renewal. Two months after the filing of the no. 3459 / 15.01.2021 letter and almost nine months after the no. 627615.06.2020 Company application for the renewal, the National Medicines Agency replied by rejecting the renewal request on March 9, 2021 (ref. 62769 / 20-25.02.2021). In addition, document No. 127351-16.12.2021 of EOF (Greek National Medicines Organization) to SkyPharm states that after an inspection of EOF at the premises of Doc Pharma, we did not have a wholesale license in violation of article 106 par. 1b and par. 1c of the ministerial decision D.YG3a / GP.32221 / 29-4-2019. The National Medicines Agency imposed a fine of €15,000 ($16,214) on SkyPharm for the above case, which was included in “General and administrative” expense on the accompany statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2023.

There has been a payment request by the Greek court, which relates to a fine arising from Cosmofarm’s tax audit for financial year 2014. The law with no. 483/16.12.2020 was used by the court against Cosmofarm (the “defendant”). The defendant appealed against the decision using the law with no.11541/09.03.2021. This appeal was dismissed after 120 days from its submission to the court. Additionally, there had been an obligation for payment of additional tax and fines related to this matter in the amount of €91,652 ($99,644), which the defendant has already settled. However, the defendant has claimed back the respective amount through appeal. As of December 31, 2023, the trial is still pending.

On January 25, 2023, a criminal case of dishonored checks against Cosmofarm’s customer Filippou, was heard at the Z’ Three-Member Misdemeanor Court of Athens, which was postponed to November 27, 2023, when the defendant was tried and found guilty.

In October 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, Cana Laboratories Holding (Cyprus) Limited (“Cana”) was approached by an attorney at law on behalf of two clients which were requesting an amount of €39,211 as compensation for the value of 34.70 square meters in relation to an urban sprawl with respect to which an Act of Imputation had been issued by the department of Urban Planning. Our legal counsel’s response was that Cana was not obliged to accept the compensatory value agreed and suggested exploring out of court settlement. As of today, the clients’ Attorney at law has not come back with any suggestions.

Our subsidiary, Cana, has two pending lawsuits against Euaggelismos Hospital for a total sum of EUR 526,436 due to unpaid bills. The court date for one of the two lawsuits is set for December 11, 2024, and for the other one has not yet been set. The opinion of our legal advisor is that the collection of the total sum by the Company is almost certain.

Our subsidiary, Cana, has an unasserted claim against Papanikolaou Hospital for a total sum of EUR 89,300 due to unpaid bills, which will be asserted through a lawsuit. The opinion of our legal advisor is that the collection of the sum by the Company is almost certain.

A lawsuit dated on April 5, 2018 against the Company’s subsidiary Cana by a former employee before the Athens court of instance was initially heard on October 12, 2018. The former employee was seeking that the termination of her employment contract to be considered null and void and was requesting compensation for late wages and moral damages. Following, numerous appeals the Judgment No. 1192/2024 was issued on September 26, 2023, which as explicitly stated by our legal counsel, requires Cana to rehire the former employee with the threat of a penalty of €200 for each day of non-compliance. As informed by our legal counsel, in order for the penalty to be effective the former employee should file a new lawsuit against Cana and request to get rehired. In case Cana denies the employment, then the penalty should be in effect. As of today, we have not received neither a lawsuit nor any request of employment by the former employee.
