**Basis of Presentation –**The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, any adjustments contained in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are of a normal recurring nature, and are necessary to fairly present the financial position and operating results of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended.

Principles of Consolidation– The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coeptis Therapeutics, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Coeptis Pharmaceuticals, LLC, SNAP Biosciences, Inc., and GEAR Therapeutics, Inc. All material intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Reverse Stock Split– On December 31, 2024, the Company completed a 20-1 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse stock split, every 20 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were automatically combined into one share, with no change in the par value per share. Fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split were rounded to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split has been retrospectively applied to all share and per-share amounts presented in these consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for all periods presented.

NOTE 2 –SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash – For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, balances of cash and cash equivalents at financial banking institutions exceeded the federally insured limit of $250,000. Uninsured balances were $282,885 and $1,219,134 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company regularly monitors the financial condition of the institution in which it has depository accounts and believes the risk of loss is minimal.

Property and Equipment – Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, depreciation expense totaled $845 and $1,235 respectively.

Intangible Assets – The Company records intangible assets at cost and evaluates them for impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of between two and forty years. The Company recorded intangible assets of $541,875 as of December 31, 2024, related to the acquired the assets of NexGenAI Affiliates Network Platform (“NexGenAI”), which contains AI-powered marketing software and robotic process automation capabilities. See Note 16, Intangible Assets.

Investments – The Company classifies its investments in accordance with ASC 320,Investments – Debt and Equity Securities, and ASC 321,Investments – Equity Securities, as applicable. Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in net income. For equity investments without readily determinable fair values, the Company applies the measurement alternative, recording these investments at cost, adjusted for impairments or observable price changes from transactions involving similar securities.

Leases– The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842,Leases. At lease commencement, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a corresponding lease liability based on the present value of future lease payments. Lease liabilities are measured using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate if the implicit rate is not readily determinable. ROU assets include initial direct costs and prepaid lease payments and are reduced for lease incentives received.

Research and Development** –**Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, research and development expenses totaled $2,331,548 and $6,668,244, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets** –**The Company’s property and equipment and other non-current assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized if and when the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. There wasno impairment recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Derivative Liability Warrants** –**The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging, under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value in each respective reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each consolidated balance sheet date until the Warrants are exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Private Placement Warrants and the Public Warrants for periods where no observable traded price was available are valued using a binomial lattice simulation model. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the Public Warrant quoted market price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

Convertible Debt – The Company accounts for convertible debt in accordance with ASC 470-20,Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Convertible debt instruments are evaluated at issuance to determine whether they contain embedded features that require bifurcation as derivatives or equity components. If the embedded conversion feature meets the criteria for derivative accounting under ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging, it is bifurcated and recorded separately at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Upon conversion or repurchase of convertible debt, the Company recognizes a gain or loss in accordance with ASC 470-20 and ASC 470-50,Debt Modifications and Extinguishments.

Income Taxes– Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to temporary differences between reporting of income and expenses for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future federal income taxes.

The Income Taxes Topic of FASB ASC clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law within subtopic FASB ASC 740-10-25-5. The guidance prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. Management believes that there isno liability related to uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Use of Estimates**–**The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Employee and Non-Employee Share-Based Compensation **– The Company applies ASC 718-10,Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expenses for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock option equity awards issued to employees and non-employees based on estimated fair values.

ASC 718-10 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The fair value of the award is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognizes share-based award forfeitures as they occur.

The Company estimates the fair value of granted option equity awards using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions, of which the most significant are share price, expected volatility and the expected option term (the time from the grant date until the options are exercised or expire). Expected volatility is estimated based on volatility of the Company. The Company has historically not paid dividends and has no foreseeable plans to issue dividends. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield from governmental zero-coupon bonds with an equivalent term. The expected option term is calculated for options granted to employees and directors using the “simplified” method. Changes in the determination of each of the inputs can affect the fair value of the options granted and the results of operations of the Company.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements **– During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, including Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Please see Note 17, Segment Reporting. Management does not believe the adoption of any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues are recognized when services are provided to its customers or the product is sold, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services or goods as the respective performance obligations are met. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Incidental items that are immaterial in the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced or received in advance of the Company fulfilling its performance obligations. These amounts are recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue when the related performance obligations are satisfied.

**Reclassifications –**Certain reclassifications were made to the prior consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. There was no change to the previously reported net loss.

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share (or loss per share), is computed by dividing the earnings (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution of securities by including other potentially issuable shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities or exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Therefore, because including shares issuable upon conversion of convertible securities and/or exercise of outstanding options and warrants would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss per share, only the basic earnings (loss) per share is reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company does not have other potentially issuable shares of stock.

The following potential common shares would have an antidilutive effect on loss per share:

Going Concern**–** The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern, which is dependent upon the Company’s ability to obtain sufficient financials or establish itself as a profitable business. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $98,233,673, and for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $10,877,412. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to operations include raising additional capital through sales of equity or debt securities as may be necessary to pursue its business plans and sustain operations until such time as the Company can achieve profitability. Management believes that additional financing as necessary will result in improved operations and cash flow. However, there can be no assurance that management will be successful in obtaining additional funding or in attaining profitable operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Measurements – The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value in accordance with ASC 820,Fair Value Measurement, for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities).

ASC 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The estimated fair value of cash, interest receivable, subscription receivable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

NOTE 3 –CO-DEVELOPMENT OPTIONS

In December 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Purple Biotech (“Purple”) to market, distribute, and sell the Consensi product (the “Product”) on an exclusive basis within the United States and Puerto Rico. In September of 2021, the Company executed a license termination agreement with Purple to cease all efforts for sales and promotion of the Product in the United States and Puerto Rico. The termination included (i) issuance of $1,500,000 of convertible debt due in February 2023 to satisfy amounts owed for the license, (ii) the issuance of warrants (See Note 8, Capital Structure) and (iii) transfer of inventory ownership back to Purple. In conjunction with this termination, the Company also terminated its marketing agreement with a third party for the Product’s sales and promotion. On July 14, 2023, the Company and Purple executed an amendment to revise the note’s payment schedule, extending the maturity date to March 31, 2024. On June 19, 2024, the Company and Purple executed another amendment to extend the maturity date to August 31, 2024. The outstanding principal balance due under the convertible note at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $218,750 and $625,000, respectively. The note is in default as of December 31, 2024. The remaining principal balance has been paid subsequent to year end.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company and Vy-Gen-Bio, Inc. (“Vy-Gen”) entered into agreements to jointly develop and commercialize two Vy-Gen product candidates, CD38-GEAR-NK and CD38-Diagnostic (the “CD38 Assets”). The Company paid $1,750,000 and issued promissory notes totaling $3,250,000 to Vy-Gen in accordance with the agreements. The Company paid a total of $1,500,000 toward the promissory notes, leaving $1,750,000 outstanding at December 31, 2021. The collaboration arrangement provides the right for the Company to participate, under the direction of a joint steering committee, in the development and commercialization of the CD38 Assets and a 50/50 profit share, with the profit share subject to contingent automatic downward adjustment up to 25% upon an event of default in connection with the promissory notes. The Company capitalized $5,000,000 to be amortized over a five-year period in which the CD38 Assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. In March of 2022, a $250,000 payment was made toward the promissory notes. In November of 2022, a $1,500,000 payment was made toward the promissory notes, which paid them in full, and the accrued interest was forgiven.

The Company made certain judgements as the basis in determining the accounting treatment of these options. The CD38 Assets represent a platform technology and a diagnostic tool which have multiple applications and uses. Both projects are intended to be used in more than one therapy or diagnostic option. For example, GEAR-NK is a technology which allows for the gene editing of human natural killer cells, so that these cells can no longer bind and be destroyed by targeted monoclonal antibody treatments. The GEAR-NK technology can be modified to work concomitantly with many different monoclonal antibody treatments in which there are currently over 100 approved by the FDA. Anti- CD38 is only the first class of monoclonal antibody treatments being developed under the GEAR-NK platform. Therefore, the pursuit of FDA approval for the use of CD38 assets for at least one indication or medical device approval is at least reasonably expected. Further, as the diagnostic asset may be used as an in vitro technology, it could be classified as a medical device, and therefore toxicity studies would not be a contingency to be resolved before reasonably establishing future value assumptions. In addition, there is perceived value in the CD38 assets, based on publicly disclosed current business deals in cell therapies, the developing market for these innovative technologies, and current interest from third parties in these technologies. The Company may sell or license its right to another party, with the written consent of Vy-Gen, which cannot be unreasonably withheld. Furthermore, the Company believes that any negative results from ongoing development of a single therapy or use, would not result in abandoning the project. Given these considerations, The Company has determined that these options have alternative future use and should be recorded as assets pursuant to ASC 730-10-25-2,Research and Development.

Related to the joint development, the Company, under the direction of the joint steering committee, is assessing market opportunities, intellectual property protection, and potential regulatory strategies for the CD38 Assets. Vy-Gen is responsible for development activities conducted and overseen by the scientists at Karolinska Institute. The agreement does not currently require additional payments for research and development costs by the Company and no additional payments are required upon development or regulatory milestones.

The total gross capitalized Co-Development options recorded was $5,291,667, with accumulated amortization of $3,737,500, resulting in a net carrying amount of $1,554,167 at December 31, 2024.

NOTE 4 –NOTES PAYABLE

In October 2022, as a result of the Merger, the Company entered into a convertible promissory note agreement with an unrelated third party in the principal amount of $350,000 with no accruing interest and was due on October 28, 2023 for legal services rendered to the Company. The noteholder may elect, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Company, at any time prior to, as of or following the maturity date, to require that all or any portion of the principal amount not then repaid be converted, without any further action on the part of the noteholder, into shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The conversion price as set forth by the note is equal to $10.00 per share, provided that the conversion price shall be subject to a one-time adjustment on January 3, 2023, with the conversion price adjustable to a price equal to the thirty-day volume weighted average price of the stock as traded on the Nasdaq. However, the conversion price following such adjustment shall not be lower than a floor of $5.00 per share nor greater than $10.00 per share. Upon full conversion of the remaining principal amount due, the note will, for all purposes be deemed cancelled and all obligations shall be deemed paid in full. On October 27, 2023, a $200,000 payment was made, and on December 15, 2023, another $50,000 payment was made. On June 25, 2024, the Company and the unrelated third party signed an amendment to the note that extended the maturity date to July 31, 2024. The outstanding balance due under the convertible note at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $100,000. The note was in default as of December 31, 2024.

NOTE 5 –CONVERTIBLE NOTES

In September 2021, as part of a termination of a license agreement with Purple (see Note 3, Co-Development Options), the Company issued a convertible note in the principal amount of $1,500,000 that was payable on or before the maturity date in February 2023, bearing interest of 5% per annum and convertible in whole or in part at any time by Purple into shares of common stock of the Company. The conversion price is $5 per share of common stock, subject to certain adjustments under such terms and conditions as agreed between the parties. The Company may prepay the principal amount of the note plus accrued and unpaid interest at any time prior to the maturity date. On July 14, 2023, the Company and Purple executed an amendment to revise the note’s payment schedule, extending the maturity date to March 31, 2024. On June 19, 2024, the Company and Purple executed another amendment to extend the maturity date to August 31, 2024. The outstanding principal balance due under the convertible note at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $218,750 and $625,000, respectively. The note was in default as of December 31, 2024. The remaining principal balance has been paid subsequent to year end.

In December 2023, the Company entered into an unsecured convertible promissory note with an unrelated party in the principal amount of $150,000 together with interest at 5% and a maturity date of June 30, 2024. On April 24, 2024, the Company converted the note into shares of common stock, which satisfied the note in full.

On April 17, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured note agreement with a related party in the principal amount of $500,000 together with interest at 10%, with a maturity date of September 30, 2024. The agreement is between the Company and an investment fund where the manager is a member of the Company’s board of directors. On June 3, 2024, the Company and the related party agreed to convert the note agreement in full, both principal and interest, to equity in connection with the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock offering. See Note 8, Capital Structure, for more information on the Series A Preferred Stock offering.

Yorkville Convertible Notes

On January 3, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured note agreement with an unrelated third party, YA II PN, LTD, a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership (“Yorkville”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 (the “YA Note-1”). YA Note-1 was issued with a 10% original issue discount. The original principal amount, together with interest of 8%, was payable by the Company on March 15, 2024, and was extended to July 31, 2024. The note had an outstanding principal balance of $1,235,178 with $150,000 of the debt discount fully amortized to interest expense as of December 31, 2024. On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement with Yorkville that completely terminates and replaces YA Note-1 (see the Yorkville Transaction defined below). See Note 8, Capital Structure - Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, for further details.

On November 1, 2024, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (“SEPA”) pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell Yorkville up to $20,000,000 of its shares of Company Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the SEPA, from time to time during the term of the SEPA (such transaction, the “Yorkville Transaction”). In connection with the SEPA, Yorkville has agreed to advance to the Company in the form of a convertible promissory note (the “Convertible Note”) an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,304,758 (the “Pre-Paid Advance”), which has been previously paid and replaces the $1,235,178 YA Note-1 outstanding balance. The Convertible Note bears an interest rate of 8% per annum and is convertible in whole or in part at any time by Yorkville into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price determined based on the lower of the lower of (i) $1.00 per common share (the “Fixed Price”), or (ii) 95% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date (the “Variable Price”), but which Variable Price shall not be lower than the floor price of $0.80 (the “Floor Price”). The Convertible Note matures on November 1, 2025. The termination and replacement of YA Note-1 with the Convertible Note was accounted for as a debt extinguishment. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $200,000 for the fees incurred by Yorkville, and a debt discount in the amount of $435,635 in relation to the SEPA. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount in the amount of $66,189 for the Convertible Note.

The Company shall make monthly payments beginning on the 7th trading day after either (i) the daily VWAP is less than the Floor Price then in effect for five trading days during a period of seven consecutive trading days (a “Floor Price Event”), or (ii) the Company has issued to Yorkville, pursuant to the transactions contemplated in the Convertible Note and the SEPA, in excess of 99% of the common shares available under the rules or regulations of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Exchange Cap”), where applicable (an “Exchange Cap Event”), (the last day of each such occurrence, an “Amortization Event Date”) and continuing on the same day of each successive Calendar Month until the entire outstanding principal amount shall have been repaid. Each monthly payment shall be in an amount equal to the sum of (i) $250,000 of principal in the aggregate among the Convertible Note and all other notes (or the outstanding Principal if less than such amount) (the “Amortization Principal Amount”), plus (ii) a payment premium equal to 5% in respect of such principal amount, provided that, the payment premium equal to 5% shall not apply in respect to any amount that is paid directly from an Advance from the SEPA, and (iii) accrued and unpaid interest hereunder as of each payment date. The obligation of the Company to make monthly prepayments related to an Amortization Event shall cease (with respect to any payment that has not yet come due) if at any time after the Amortization Event Date (A) in the event of a Floor Price Event, on the date that is the 7th consecutive Trading Day that the daily VWAP is greater than 110% of the Floor Price then in effect, or (B) in the event of an Exchange Cap event, the date the Company has obtained stockholder approval to increase the number of common shares under the Exchange Cap and the Exchange Cap no longer applies unless a subsequent Amortization Event occurs.

The SEPA is an equity-linked contract that does not qualify for equity classification and is accounted for as a derivative liability recognized at fair value. Any changes in fair value between the carrying amount of the forward issuance contracts and the settlement amounts will be recognized in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. The initial value of the SEPA was $501,824. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the SEPA was $1,041,484. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a loss on the change in fair value of derivative liability in the amount of $539,660 in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The Company did not have a derivative liability at December 31, 2023. The following table presents information about the Company’s derivative liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The derivative liability is accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 480 and are presented within derivative liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability is measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

The derivative liability was valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the derivative liability is the step factors input, assumed price movement, and probabilities assigned to them.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements for the derivative liability:

**NOTE 6 –SBA LOAN PAYABLE **

Loans under the CARES Act-- On July 8, 2020, the Company received a loan of $150,000 from the United States Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. Proceeds are intended to be used for working capital purposes. Interest on the EIDL loan accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and interest payments are due monthly in the amount of $731. Each payment will be applied first to interest accrued to the date of receipt of each payment, and the balance, if any, will be applied to principal. The Company began making interest payments in January 2023. The balance of principal and interest is payable thirty years from the date of the promissory note. The balance of the loan is $150,000, as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

NOTE 7 –DERIVATIVE LIABILITY WARRANTS

At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were (i)375,000 public warrants (the “Public Warrants”) outstanding that were issued as part of Bull Horn’s November 2020 initial public offering, which warrants are exercisable in the aggregate to acquire 187,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $230.00 per share, (ii)187,500 private warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) outstanding that were issued to our sponsor Bull Horn Holdings Sponsor LC and the underwriters in Bull Horn’s initial public offering in November 2020, which warrants are exercisable in the aggregate to 187,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $230.00 per share. The amount of warrants and related exercise price were adjusted for the Company’s 20-1 reverse stock split effective December 31, 2024. The Private Placement Warrants became exercisable on the consummation of our Business Combination in October 2022. No Public Warrants will be exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such shares of common stock. With respect to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants, the class A warrants and the class B warrants during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement related to the issuance of such shares underlying the applicable warrants, the holder of any applicable warrants may exercise its warrant on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. If an exemption from registration is not available, holders will not be able to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company may call the Public Warrants for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant:

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described above, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants only allow the holder thereof to one ordinary share. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Within ASC 815,Derivative and Hedging, Section 815-40-15 addresses equity versus liability treatment and classification of equity-linked financial instruments, including warrants, and states that a warrant may be classified as a component of equity only if, among other things, the warrant is indexed to the issuer’s ordinary share. Under ASC Section 815-40-15, a warrant is not indexed to the issuer’s ordinary share if the terms of the warrant require an adjustment to the exercise price upon a specified event and that event is not an input to the fair value of the warrant. Based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that the Company’s Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s ordinary share in the manner contemplated by ASC Section 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. In addition, based on management’s evaluation, the Company’s audit committee, in consultation with management, concluded that certain warrant provisions preclude equity treatment as by ASC Section 815-10-15.

The Company accounts for its Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants as liabilities as set forth in ASC 815-40-15-7D and 7F. See below for details about the methodology and valuation of the Warrants.

The following table presents information about the Company’s derivative liability warrant that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

The Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within derivative liability warrants in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The derivative liability warrants are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Warrants were valued using a binomial lattice model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The binomial lattice model’s primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the ordinary shares. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price will be used as the fair value as of each relevant date.

The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements:

All share amounts have been adjusted for the Company’s 20-1 reverse stock split effective December 31, 2024.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no capital distributions.

On June 16, 2023, the Company completed a public offering issuing 107,500 shares of our common stock,67,500 pre-funded warrants,153,125 Series A Warrants and 153,125 Series B Warrants, for net proceeds of approximately $3.0 million, after offering costs. The pre- funded warrants are immediately exercisable, at a price of $0.0001 per share, with no expiration date. The Series A Warrants and the Series B Warrants are referred to herein together as the “Series Warrants.” The shares of common stock and Series Warrants were purchased together and then immediately separable and were issued separately. Each Series Warrant to purchase one share of common stock has an exercise price of $33.00 per share, and is initially exercisable commencing six months from the date of the offering. The Series Warrants are exercisable for a term of five years following the initial exercise date. As of December 31, 2024, all of the pre-funded warrants had been exercised for a total of 175,000 shares of common stock issued as a result of the public offering.

On October 26, 2023, the Company completed a private placement of 38,850 shares of our common stock, pre-funded warrants exercisable to acquire up to 61,150 shares of our common stock, Series A Warrants exercisable to acquire up to 100,000 shares of our common stock and Series B Warrants exercisable to acquire up to 100,000 shares of our common stock, for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million, after offering costs.

The Series A Warrants have a term of exercise equal to eighteen (18) months and the Series B Warrants have a term of exercise equal to five and one-half (5.5) years. This private placement was conducted with the same underwriter as the June public offering, and as a result, each Series Warrant issued in connection with the June offering was repriced from an exercise price of $33.00 per share to $27.20 per share. In connection with the private placement the Company also issued to the exclusive placement agent warrants exercisable to acquire up to 6,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $28.00 per share.

The pre-funded common stock purchase warrants can be exercised at a price of $0.0001 per share, with no expiration date. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company and the third-party borrower agreed to amend the note as a result of the decline in the publicly traded common stock price. The amount of pre-funded warrants exercisable to acquire up to 60,000 shares of common stock was amended to 100,000 shares of common stock, and the total principal balance of the note agreement was increased from $1,000,000 to $1,100,000. The aggregate exercise price of this Warrant was partially pre-funded in connection with $100,000 and a $1,100,000 subscription receivable at a 6% per annum interest rate due on November 29, 2024.

The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville pursuant to which it will register the resale of shares of common stock issued to Yorkville pursuant to the SEPA. Sales of common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, and the timing of any such sales, are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell common stock to Yorkville under the SEPA, except in connection with notices that may be submitted by Yorkville in certain circumstances as described below.

Each advance (each, an “Advance”) the Company requests in writing to Yorkville under the SEPA (notice of such request, an “Advance Notice”) may be for a number of shares of common stock up to such amount as is equal to 100% of the average daily volume traded of the common stock during the five trading days immediately prior to the date the Company requests each Advance. The shares of common stock purchased pursuant to an Advance delivered by the Company will be purchased at a price equal to 95% of the lowest daily VWAP of the shares of common stock during the three consecutive trading days commencing on the date of the delivery of the Advance Notice, other than the daily VWAP on a day in which the daily VWAP is less than a minimum acceptable price as stated by the Company in the Advance Notice or there is no VWAP on the subject trading day. The Company may establish a minimum acceptable price in each Advance Notice below which the Company will not be obligated to make any sales to Yorkville. “VWAP” is defined as the daily volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock for such trading day on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) during regular trading hours as reported by Bloomberg L.P.

The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) December 1, 2027, provided that the Convertible Note (defined in Note 4) has been fully repaid or (ii) the date on which the Company shall have made full payment of Advances pursuant to the SEPA. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty upon five trading days’ prior written notice to Yorkville, provided that there are no outstanding Advance Notices for which shares of common stock need to be issued and the Company has paid all amounts owed to Yorkville pursuant to the Convertible Note. The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.

Any purchase under an Advance would be subject to certain limitations, including that Yorkville shall not purchase or acquire any shares that would result in it and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of shares of common stock or any shares that, aggregated with shares issued under all other earlier Advances, would exceed 19.99% of all shares of common stock outstanding on the date of the SEPA (the “Exchange Cap”), unless the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules.

In connection with the execution of the SEPA, the Company agreed to pay a commitment fee of $200,000 to Yorkville, payable as follows: (i) $80,000 payable when the SEPA was entered into, in the form of the issuance of 20,000 shares of common stock, representing $80,000 divided by the closing price as of the trading day immediately prior to the date of the SEPA, and (ii) $120,000 payable in cash or by way of an Advance on the date upon which the Company has first received Advances in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000.

Additionally, Yorkville agreed to advance to the Company, in exchange for the Convertible Note, an aggregate principal amount of $1,304,758 (see Note 4 for a description of the Convertible Note). At any time while the SEPA is in place that there is a balance outstanding under the Convertible Note, Yorkville may deliver a notice (an “Investor Notice”) to the Company to cause an Advance Notice to be deemed delivered to Yorkville and the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock to Yorkville pursuant to an Advance. Yorkville may select the amount of the Advance in an amount not to exceed the balance owed under the Convertible Note outstanding on the date of delivery of such Investor Notice. The shares will be issued and sold to Yorkville pursuant to an Investor Notice at a per share price equal to the conversion price that would be applicable to the amount of the Advance selected by Yorkville if such amount were to be converted as of the date of delivery of the Investor Notice. Yorkville will pay the purchase price for such shares to be issued pursuant to the Investor Notice by offsetting the amount of the purchase price to be paid by Yorkville against an amount outstanding under the Yorkville Note.

Additionally, the Company, at its option, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem early a portion or all amounts outstanding under the Convertible Note at a redemption amount equal to the outstanding principal balance being repaid or redeemed, plus a 5% prepayment premium, plus all accrued and unpaid interest; provided that (i) the Company provides Yorkville with no less than ten trading days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) on the date such notice is issued, the VWAP of the common stock is less than the Fixed Price.

NOTE 9 –NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

In support of the exclusive license, the Company also entered into with Deverra (i) an asset purchase agreement (the “APA”) pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets from Deverra, including but not limited to two Investigational New Drug (IND) applications and two Phase 1 clinical trial stage programs (NCT04901416, NCT04900454) investigating infusion of DVX201, an unmodified natural killer (NK) cell therapy generated from pooled donor CD34+ cells, in hematologic malignancies and viral infections and (ii) a non-exclusive sublicense agreement (the “Sublicense Agreement”), in support of the assets obtained by the exclusive license, pursuant to which the Company sublicensed from Deverra certain assets which Deverra has rights to pursuant a license agreement (“FHCRC Agreement”) by and between Deverra and The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (“FHCRC”).

As consideration for the transactions described above, the Company paid Deverra approximately $570,000 in cash, issued to Deverra 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and assumed certain liabilities related to the ongoing clinical trials. Total consideration paid was $4,937,609, which was fully expensed in accordance with ASC 730, and is reflected within research and development in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Sublicense Agreement, the Company agreed to pay FHCRC certain specified contingent running royalty payments and milestone payments under the FHCRC Agreement, in each case to the extent such payments are triggered by the Company’s development activities.

Until December 2024, we operated under a Shared Services Agreement (“SSA”) with Deverra, which provided Coeptis and Deverra to share resources and collaborate on the development of Coeptis’ GEAR and SNAP-CAR platforms. The Company is continuing its development focus on both GEAR and SNAP-CAR, and will be considering prospective strategic partners for such development.

Registration Rights – Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on October 29, 2020, the holders of the founder shares, the Private Placement Warrants and underlying securities, and any securities issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and underlying securities) would be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The holders of at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities.

NOTE 12 -401(k) PROFIT-SHARING PLAN

The Company sponsors a qualified profit-sharing plan with a 401(k) feature that covers all eligible employees. Participation in the 401(k) feature of the plan is voluntary. Participating employees may defer up to 100% of their compensation up to the maximum prescribed by the Internal Revenue Code. The plan permits for employee elective deferrals but has no contribution requirements for the Company. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no employer contributions were made.

NOTE 13 –INCOME TAXES

The Company has established deferred tax assets and liabilities for the recognition of future deductions or taxable amounts and operating loss carry forward. Deferred federal and state income tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of the change in the deferred tax asset or liability during the year using the currently enacted tax laws and rates that apply to the period in which they are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that will more likely than not be realized.

During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, a reconciliation of income tax benefit at the statutory rate of 35% and 30%, respectively to income tax benefit at the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:

The income tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying federal statutory rates to income taxes as follows:

The Company’s calculation of net operating loss carryforwards:

At December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $86,200,000 of unused net operation loss carryforwards. Unused net operating loss carryforwards may provide future benefits although there can be no assurance that these net operating losses will be realized in the future. The tax benefits of these loss carryforwards have been fully offset by valuation allowance. These losses may be used to offset future taxable income and will carryforward indefinitely.

NOTE 14 –NOTE RECEIVABLE

NOTE 15 –RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In September 2023, the Company entered into a transaction with AG Bio Life Capital I LP (“AG”), a Delaware limited partnership, where an employee of the Company is the general partner. The Company agreed to issue 600,000 shares (pre-reverse stock split) of common stock of the Company (“AG Shares”) to AG, in exchange for $600,000, consisting of $100,000 payable in cash and the balance payable under a promissory note (“AG Note”). The principal amount including all interest under the AG Note is due and payable by AG no later than August 30, 2024 (the “AG Maturity Date”). The outstanding unpaid principal balance of the AG Note bears interest commencing as of the Company’s next registration statement at the rate of six (6%) percent per annum, which interest rate will increase to eighteen (18%) percent per annum in the event an event of default occurs under the AG Note, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days.

NOTE 17 –SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by management, namely the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of an organization, in order to determine operating and resource allocation decisions. By this definition, the Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM. Effective in 2024, the Company began operating in two segments: Biotechnology and Technology. Prior to 2024, the Company did not report operating segments.

Biotechnology Segment: This segment is non-revenue generating and incurs expenses by developing its biotechnology product pipeline. The Biotechnology Segment had total assets of $8,366,785 as of December 31, 2024.

Technology Segment: This segment is non-revenue generating and incurs expenses by acquiring technology assets to support and enhance operational capabilities through advanced technologies. The Technology Segment had total assets of $541,875 as of December 31, 2024.

The Company believes that this structure reflects its current operational and financial management, and that it provides the best structure for the Company to focus on growth opportunities while maintaining financial discipline. The factors used to identify the Biotechnology and Technology operating segments were the difference in future potential revenue streams and customer base for each segment, the reporting structure for operational and performance information within the Company, and management’s decision to organize the Company around the different future potential revenue generating activities of the segments.

Segment information relating the Company's two operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:
