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.

On October 20, 2022, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian privately held pharmaceutical company. The purchase price for the shares was $18,860,637, $14,346,637 of which was paid in cash and the remainder was paid through the issuance of 1,850 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $4,514,000 or $2,440 per share. Nora Pharma sells generic pharmaceutical products in Canada. Nora Pharma’s operations are authorized by a Drug Establishment License issued by Health Canada.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price as of October 20, 2022, the acquisition date using Nora Pharma’s balance sheet assets and liabilities:


Accounts receivable	$	1,358,121
Inventory		3,181,916
Intangible assets		659,571
Equipment & furniture		210,503
Other assets		1,105,093
Total assets		6,515,204
Liabilities assumed		(5,981,286	)
Net assets		533,918
Goodwill		18,326,719
Total Consideration	$	18,860,637

The value of the 1,850 shares issued as part of the consideration paid for Nora Pharma was determined based on the reverse splits adjusted closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date, October 20, 2022 ($2,440 per share). See Note 6 – Reverse Stock Splits

The Company impaired 100% of the goodwill amount in 2022 and plans to depreciate the intangible assets as detailed in Note 5 below.

As part of the consideration paid for Nora Pharma, the Company agreed to a $5,000,000 CAD ($3,632,000 USD) earn-out payable to Mr. Malek Chamoun, the Seller of Nora Pharma and its current President.

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:


Type	Number	Exercise Price	Expiry Date
2022 Pre-Funded Warrants	1,846	$2.00	Unlimited

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. The lease contains a renewal option for a period of five years. Because the Company is certain to exercise the renewal option, the optional period is included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under the renewal option are included in the lease payments. The Company’s lease does not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. 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:

Schedule of lease information
Operating lease ROU asset			$541,468
Operating lease liability - Short-term			$116,253
Operating lease liability - Long-term			$440,298
Remaining lease term			5 years 3 months
Discount rate			6%

Amounts disclosed for ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations and reductions of ROU assets resulting from reductions of lease obligations include amounts reduced from the carrying amount of ROU assets resulting from deferred rent.

Maturities of lease liabilities under non-cancellable operating leases at September 30, 2024 are 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.

About Sunshine Biopharma

We are a pharmaceutical company offering and researching life-saving medicines in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, including oncology and antivirals. We operate two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian corporation with a portfolio 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.

In addition, we are conducting a proprietary drug development program which is comprised of (i) K1.1 mRNA targeted for liver cancer, (ii) SBFM-PL4, a PLpro protease inhibitor for SARS Coronavirus infections, and (iii) Adva-27a for pancreatic cancer. Development of the latter has been paused pending further analysis of unfavorable in vitro results obtained in the second half of 2023. See “Drugs in Development” below.

History

We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006, and on October 15, 2009, we acquired Sunshine Biopharma Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Sunshine Biopharma Inc. held an exclusive license to a new anticancer drug bearing the laboratory name, Adva-27a (the “License Agreement”). Upon completion of the reverse acquisition, we changed our name to Sunshine Biopharma Inc. and began operating as a pharmaceutical company.

In December 2015, we acquired all issued (US Patent Number 8,236,935, and 10,272,065) and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 for the Adva-27a anticancer compound and terminated the License Agreement. Development of Adva-27a has recently been paused pending further analysis of unexpected in vitro results obtained in the latter part of 2023. See “Drugs in Development” below.

In early 2020, we initiated a new R&D project focused on the development of a treatment for COVID-19 and on May 22, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States for the new coronavirus treatment. The patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the main Coronavirus protease, Mpro. On April 30, 2021, we filed a PCT application containing new research results and extending coverage to include inhibitors for the Coronavirus Papain-Like protease, PLpro.

In June 2021, we initiated another R&D project in which we set out to determine if certain mRNA molecules can be used as anticancer agents. The data obtained for mRNA molecules bearing the laboratory name K1.1 became the subject of a new patent application filed in April 2022.

On October 20, 2022, we acquired Nora Pharma, a Canadian generic pharmaceuticals company based in the greater Montreal area. Nora Pharma has 46 employees and operates in a 23,500 square foot facility certified by Health Canada. Nora Pharma currently has 63 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada and is planning to launch 32 additional generic prescription drugs in the remainder of 2024 and 2025.

In addition to the 63 drugs currently on the market, we have 32 additional drugs scheduled to be launched in Q4 2024 and in 2025. These new drugs will address various human health areas including cardiovascular, oncology, gastroenterology, central nervous system, diabetes, urology, endocrinology, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory. Among the new drugs to be launched in 2024 is NIOPEG®, a biosimilar of NEULASTA®. Like NEULASTA®, NIOPEG® is a long-acting form of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (filgrastim). It is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving anti-neoplastic therapy. Nora Pharma received Health Canada marketing approval for NIOPEG® on April 17, 2024. NIOPEG® is anticipated to be on the market in Canada in Q4 2024.

We believe the addition of these new products to our existing portfolio will strengthen our presence in the Canadian $9.7 billion a year generic drugs market and provide us with greater access to pharmacies as we become more of a go-to supplier for every-day and specialty medicines.

Drugs in Development

The following table summarizes our proprietary drugs in development:

Drug Candidate	Therapeutic Area	Development Stage
Adva-27a (Small Molecule)	Oncology (Pancreatic Cancer)	Paused*
K1.1 (mRNA LNP)	Oncology (Liver Cancer)	Animal Testing
SBFM-PL4 (Small Molecule)	Antiviral (SARS Coronavirus)	Animal Testing

* See “Adva-27a Anticancer Compound” below

Adva-27a Anticancer Compound

Adva-27a is a small molecule designed for the treatment of aggressive forms of cancer. A Topoisomerase II inhibitor, Adva-27a has been shown to be effective at destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer cells including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells and Uterine Sarcoma cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). We are the direct owner of all patents pertaining to Adva-27a including U.S. Patents Number 8,236,935 and 10,272,065.

In December 2022, we entered into a research agreement with the Jewish General Hospital (“JGH”), to conduct the IND-enabling studies of Adva-27a (the “Research Agreement”). In August 2023, we were informed by the JGH that the laboratory test results of the Adva-27a molecule were not favorable. After conclusion of an internal review of the laboratory results on November 2, 2023, we provided notice to JGH of termination of the Research Agreement. We have paused the IND-enabling studies of Adva-27a pending a review of the results and the possibility of chemical modification of the compound to address the suboptimal performance of the molecule in certain studies.

K1.1 Anticancer mRNA

In June 2021, we initiated a new research project in which we set out to determine if certain mRNA molecules can be used as anti-cancer agents. The data collected to date have shown that a selected group of mRNA molecules are capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro including multidrug resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7/MDR), ovarian adenocarcinoma cells (OVCAR-3), and pancreatic cancer cells (SUIT-2). Studies using non-transformed (normal) human cells (HMEC cells) showed that these mRNA molecules had little cytotoxic effects. These new mRNA molecules, bearing the laboratory name K1.1, are readily adaptable for delivery into patients using the mRNA vaccine technology. In April 2022, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States covering the subject mRNA molecules.

In November 2022, we concluded an agreement with a specialized commercial partner for the purposes of formulating our K1.1 mRNA molecules into lipid nanoparticles (“LNP”) for use to conduct xenograft mice studies. The initial results of our xenograft mice studies indicate that our K1.1 mRNA-LNP is effective at reducing the size of liver cancer xenograft tumors in mice. We are currently seeking to confirm these results by conducting additional xenograft experiments on a broader scale and in more detailed dose-response studies.

SBFM-PL4 SARS Coronavirus Treatment

The initial genome expression products following infection by Betacoronavirus, the causative agent of COVID-19, are two large polyproteins, referred to as pp1a and pp1ab. These two polyproteins are cleaved at 15 specific sites by two virus encoded proteases, called Mpro and PLpro, to generate 16 different non-structural proteins essential for viral replication. Mpro and PLpro represent attractive anti-viral drug development targets as they play a central role in the early stages of viral replication. PLpro is of particular interest as a therapeutic target in that, in addition to processing essential viral proteins, it is also responsible for suppression of the human immune system making the virus more life-threatening. PLpro is present only in Betacoronaviruses, the subgroup of Coronaviruses represented by the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2.

Our Anti-Coronavirus research effort has been focused on developing an inhibitor of PLpro and, on May 22, 2020, we filed a patent application in the United States covering composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the Coronavirus PLpro as well as Mpro.

In February 2022, we expanded our PLpro inhibitors research effort by entering into a research agreement with the University of Arizona for the purposes of conducting research focused on determining the in vivo safety, pharmacokinetics, and dose selection properties of three University of Arizona owned PLpro inhibitors, to be followed by efficacy testing in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the “Research Project”). Under the agreement, the University of Arizona granted us a first option to negotiate a commercial, royalty-bearing license for all intellectual property developed by University of Arizona under the Research Project. In addition, we and the University of Arizona have entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) whereby we were granted a first option to negotiate a royalty-bearing commercial license for the underlying technology of the Research Project. On September 13, 2022, we exercised our options, and on February 24, 2023, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with the University of Arizona for all of the technology related to the Research Project.

We have recently broadened our objective to include the development of an injectable drug candidate of first-in-class PLpro inhibitor to treat SARS-CoV2 and potentially SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infection in patients who could not use Paxlovid, Molnupiravir, or Remdesivir, due to concerns about drug interactions and possible ‘rebound’ infections and other side effects.

Intellectual Property

We are the sole owner of all rights pertaining to Adva-27a. These patent rights are covered by PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029. The patent applications filed under these two PCT's have been issued in the United States under US Patent Number 8,236,935 and 10,272,065.

On May 22, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States for a new treatment for Coronavirus infections. Our patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the main Coronavirus protease, Mpro, an enzyme that is essential for viral replication. The patent application has a priority date of May 22, 2020. On April 30, 2021, we filed a PCT application containing new research results and extending coverage to include the Coronavirus Papain-Like protease, PLpro. The priority date of May 22, 2020 has been maintained in the newly filed PCT application.

On April 20, 2022, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States covering mRNA molecules capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro. The patent application contains composition and utility subject matter pertaining to the structure and sequence of the relevant mRNA molecules.

Effective February 24, 2023, we became the exclusive, worldwide licensee of the University of Arizona for three (3) patents related to small molecules which inhibit the Coronavirus protease, PLpro.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma, owns 152 DIN’s issued by Health Canada for prescription drugs currently on the market in Canada. These DIN’s were secured through in-licenses or cross-licenses from international manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products.

Results of Operations

Comparison of results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we generated $8,435,178 in sales, compared to $5,957,668 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $2,477,510, or 42%. The increase is attributable to expanded marketing and sales efforts by our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma. The direct cost for generating these sales was $5,569,027 (66%) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3,967,412 (67%) for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our gross profit grew to $2,866,151 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1,990,256 for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

General and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, were $3,972,504, compared to $2,769,730 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1,202,774. The increase was due to increases in accounting fees ($68,422), consulting ($253,251), marketing ($40,848), and salaries ($949,473). The increase in salaries was due to the hiring of two (2) new employees and a bonus paid to the CEO of the Company. The only expense category that saw a decrease was R&D, which was reduced by $111,650. Overall, we incurred a loss of $1,106,353 from our operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $779,474 from our operations in the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

In addition, we had interest income of $108,614 during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net interest income of $168,904 during the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of less interest earned on cash on hand.

As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,197,803 ($0.94 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $651,482 ($50.72 per share) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Comparison of results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we generated revenues of $25,279,291, compared to revenue of $16,412,586 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $8,866,705, or 54%. The increase is attributable to expanded marketing and sales efforts by our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma. The direct cost for generating these revenues was $17,702,546 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (70%), compared to $10,641,461 (65%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in the cost of sales in the nine-month period of 2024 is related to greater retailer allowances offered to gain access to new regional markets. Our gross profit increased to $7,576,745 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a gross profit of $5,771,125 for the same period in 2023.

General and administrative expenses during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, were $11,351,144, compared to $9,369,203 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1,981,941. The increase was a result of increases in accounting ($263,791), legal ($170,871), marketing ($234,129), office costs ($781,912), and salaries ($838,937). The two expense categories that saw a decrease were consulting ($169,369), and R&D ($254,872). Overall, we incurred a loss of $3,774,399 from our operations in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss from operations of $3,598,078 in the similar period of 2023.

In addition, we had interest income of $396,453 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to interest income of $517,163 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to the Company having less cash on hand.

As a result, we incurred a net loss of $2,975,904 ($13.61 per share) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $3,256,020 ($265.71 per share) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,206,655.

Net cash used in operating activities was $9,123,898 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6,085,435 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The increase was a result of increased business activities by Nora Pharma.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,789,312 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $386,920 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was the result of cash invested in Nora Pharma to finance increase in inventory and expansion of operations and product line.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $7,235,518 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3,456,106 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily a result of the approximately $10 million financing event completed in February 2024, compared to an approximately $5 million financing event completed in May 2023.

We are not generating adequate revenues from our operations to fully implement our business plan as set forth herein. We believe our existing cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our pharmaceuticals sales operations and research and development activities for the next 24 months. There is no assurance our estimates will be accurate. We currently have no committed sources of capital and we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in the future, including for further research and development activities and possibly clinical trials, as well as expansion of our generic pharmaceuticals operations. Additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
