Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Note 1 –Description of Business

The Company was incorporated under the name Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc. on August 31, 2006, in the State of Colorado. Effective October 15, 2009, the Company acquired Sunshine Biopharma Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Upon completion of the reverse acquisition, the Company changed its name to Sunshine Biopharma Inc. and began operating as a pharmaceutical company.

Sunshine Biopharma operates two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian corporation with a portfolio of pharmaceutical products consisting of 63 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada, and (ii) Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), a Canadian corporation which develops and sells nonprescription over-the-counter (“OTC”) products.

The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments:

·Prescription Generic Pharmaceuticals (“Generic Pharmaceuticals”)
·Nonprescription Over-The-Counter Products (“OTC Products)

Through September 30, 2024, sales from the Generic Pharmaceuticals segment represented approximately 97% of total revenues of the Company while the remaining approximately 3% was generated from the sale of OTC Products. Based on these results, the Company deems segmentation reporting to be immaterial at September 30, 2024.

The Company is not subject to material customer concentration risks as it sells its products directly to pharmacies in several Canadian provinces. However, in Canada provincial governments reimburse patients for their prescription drugs expenditures to various degrees under drug reimbursement programs, making generic drugs prices highly dependent on governmental policies which may change over time. The most recent negotiations between the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance and the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association resulted in updated generic pricing for certain products which took effect on October 1, 2023. The updated prices are valid for three years and the agreement may be extended for an additional two years.

In addition, the Company is engaged in the development of the following proprietary drugs:

·Adva-27a, a small chemotherapy molecule for treatment of pancreatic cancer (IND-enabling studies were paused on November 2, 2023)
·K1.1 mRNA, a lipid nano-particle (LNP) targeted for liver cancer
·SBFM-PL4, a protease inhibitor for treatment of SARS Coronavirus infections

Note 2 –Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2024. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with that report.

On April 17, 2024 and August 8, 2024, the Company completed 1-for-100 and 1-for-20 reverse splits of its common stock, respectively (the “Reverse Splits”). The share amounts, warrants, and related parameters specified in this report have been adjusted to reflect both Reverse Splits on a retroactive basis.

Note 3 –Underwritten Public Offering

On February 15, 2024, the Company completed an underwritten public offering for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million, before deducting fees to the underwriter and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The net proceeds received by the Company were $8,522,411.

The offering consisted of 35,714 Units, consisting of (i) 13,214 Common Units, with each Common Unit consisting of one share of common stock, one-tenth of a Series A warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Series A Warrant”) and two-tenths of a Series B warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Series B Warrant”), and (ii) 22,500 Pre-Funded Units, with each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock (“Pre-Funded Warrants”), one-tenth of a Series A Warrant and two-tenths of a Series B Warrant. The public offering price was $280 per Common Unit and $278 per Pre-Funded Unit. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. The initial exercise price of each Series A Warrant was $4,200 per share of common stock or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option. Under the alternative cashless exercise provision, which became effective following stockholder approval in March 2024, each Series A Warrant was exercisable on a cashless basis for two shares of common stock. The Series A Warrants were exercisable immediately and expire 30 months after the initial issuance date. The initial exercise price of each Series B Warrant was $4,760 per share of common stock. The Series B Warrants are exercisable immediately and expire 60 months after the initial issuance date.

In addition (effective following stockholder approval), the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants included a provision under which, following a reverse split of the common stock, the exercise price will be adjusted to the lowest volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the five trading days immediately preceding and immediately following the date of reverse stock split, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants will be adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price of the Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants will remain unchanged. The Series B Warrants do not include an alternate cashless exercise provision and can only be exercised for cash so long as the Company’s registration statement for the underlying shares remains effective.

In addition, the Company granted the underwriter, Aegis Capital Corp. ("Aegis"), a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the total number of shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Series A Warrants and/or Series B Warrants sold in the offering, solely to cover overallotments, if any. On February 15, 2024, Aegis partially exercised its over-allotment option for a total of 415 Series A Warrants and 830 Series B Warrants.

On February 13, 2024, the Company obtained stockholder approval for (i) adjustment of the number of underlying shares and exercise price for both the Series A Warrants and the Series B warrants, and (ii) the alternate cashless exercise provision for the Series A warrants.

As of September 30, 2024, all of the Pre-Funded Warrants, all of the Series A warrants, and 678,865 Series B Warrants have been exercised resulting in the Company issuing 22,500,1,120,784, and 678,865 shares of common stock, respectively. In connection with such exercises, the Company received net proceeds of $45,000, $0, and $1,892,608, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024, the only warrants remaining outstanding in connection with this offering are 12,934,062 Series B Warrants exercisable at $2.7879 per share. The exercise price and number of underlying shares under the Series B Warrants are subject to further adjustments.

Note 4 –Acquisition of Nora Pharma Inc.

Note 8 –Warrants

The Company accounts for issued warrants either as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480-10 or ASC 815-40. Under ASC 480-10, warrants are considered a liability if they are mandatorily redeemable and they require settlement in cash, other assets, or a variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company considers the requirements of ASC 815-40 to determine whether the warrants should be classified as a liability or as equity. Under ASC 815-40, contracts that may require settlement for cash are liabilities, regardless of the probability of the occurrence of the triggering event. Liability-classified warrants are measured at fair value on the issuance date and at the end of each reporting period. Any change in the fair value of the warrants after the issuance date is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss. If warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude warrants should be classified as equity, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP standard. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date.

In 2022, 2023, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company completed five (5) financing events, and in connection therewith, it issued warrants as follows:

Note 10 –Lease

The Company has obligations as a lessee for office and warehouse space with initial non-cancellable terms in excess of one year. The Company classified the lease as an operating lease.

Payments due under the lease include fixed payments plus a variable payment. The Company’s lease requires it to make variable payments for the Company’s proportionate share of building’s property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred.

Amounts reported on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, were as follows:

Note 12 –Income Taxes

Our Income tax (expense) / benefit of $(130,551) and $190,787 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, is primarily due to operations outside of the United States and changes in valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets generated or utilized in the applicable period.

Our income tax (expense) of $(40,952) and $(174,899) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, is primarily due to operations outside of the United States and changes in valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets generated or utilized in the applicable period.

Deferred tax assets are regularly reviewed for recoverability by jurisdiction and valuation allowances are established based on historical and projected future taxable losses and the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences. The Company has recorded valuation allowances against the majority of its deferred tax assets of September 30, 2024, and the Company expects to maintain these valuation allowances until there is sufficient evidence that future earnings can be achieved, which is uncertain at this time.

The Company's consolidated financial statements contain various tax related entries the same being due to the operations of the two Canadian subsidiaries and are in compliance with Canadian tax laws.
