As used in this prospectus and unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Sunshine Biopharma,” or the “Company” refer to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

Overview

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.

About this Offering

On February 13, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Aegis Capital Corp. (“Aegis”), in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering of 35,714 Units, consisting of (i) 13,214 common units (“Common Units”), each consisting of one share of common stock of the Company, 0.1 of a Series A Warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an initial exercise price of $4,200 per share or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option (described below), which warrant would expire two-and-a-half years from the closing of the offering, and 0.2 of a Series B Warrant (together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $4,760 per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary of the closing of the offering; and (ii) 22,500 Pre-Funded Units (the “Pre-Funded Units” and together with the Common Units, the “Units”), each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of one pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase one share of common stock, 0.1 of a Series A Warrant and 0.2 of a Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each Common Unit was $280, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $278. The Pre-Funded Warrants were immediately exercisable, had an exercise price of $2.00 per share could be exercised at any time until all Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full.

In addition, we granted the underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 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.

The offering closed on February 15, 2024. The aggregate gross proceeds to us were approximately $10.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other expenses payable by the Company. On February 15, 2024, the underwriter also partially exercised its over-allotment option with respect to 415 Series A Warrants and 830 Series B Warrants.

Under the underwriting agreement, we were required to and received stockholder approval (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval”) for certain provisions of the Warrants to become effective.

We have no remaining outstanding Series A Warrants.

The Series B Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended the “Securities Act”) is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, by delivery of an exercise notice and payment in full for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Series B Warrants under the Securities Act is not effective, the holder may elect to exercise the Series B Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant.

Subject to certain exemptions, if we sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any option to purchase, or sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any shares of common stock, at an effective price per share less than the exercise price of the Series B Warrants then in effect, the exercise price of the Series B Warrants will be reduced to such price (which was subject to a floor of $0.10 prior to the Warrant Stockholder Approval), and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate exercise price will remain unchanged.

Since receipt of the Warrant Stockholder Approval, if at any time on or after the date of issuance there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving our common stock and the lowest daily volume weighted average price during the period commencing five consecutive trading days immediately preceding and the five consecutive trading days immediately following such event is less than the exercise price of the Series B Warrants then in effect, then the exercise price of the Series B Warrants would be reduced to the lowest daily volume weighted average price during such period and the number of shares issuable upon exercise will be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate price will remain unchanged.

There are currently 12,934,062 Series B Warrants outstanding at a current exercise price of $2.7879, subject to further adjustment.

This prospectus covers the 12,934,062 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the outstanding Series B Warrants.

We are filing this post-effective amendment to Form S-1 so that the remaining outstanding Series B Warrants may only be exercised for cash.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities includes a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should consider carefully the specific factors discussed below, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected by these risks. 

Risks Related to Our Business

We have incurred losses and may never achieve profitability

We have an accumulated deficit of $66,881,562 as of September 30, 2024. We incurred a net loss of $2,975,904 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024,and a net loss of $4,506,044 for the year ended December 31, 2023. We may never achieve profitability.

We are subject to the significant risks associated with the generic pharmaceutical business

Since our acquisition of Nora Pharma in October 2022, we have generated revenues primarily through sales of generic pharmaceutical products in Canada, and we expect this to remain the case for the foreseeable future. Generic pharmaceuticals are, as a general matter, significantly less profitable than innovative medicines.

In recent years, the generic pharmaceutical business has experienced increased volatility in volumes due in large part to global supply chain issues and the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the global economy was continuing to recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and also began experiencing additional macroeconomic pressures such as rising inflation and disruptions to the global supply chain, in part resulting from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. We may experience supply discontinuities due to macroeconomic issues, regulatory actions, including sanctions and trade restrictions, labor disturbances and approval delays, which may impact our ability to timely meet demand in certain instances. These adverse market forces have a direct impact on our overall performance. Any such disruptions could have a material adverse impact on our business and our results of operation and financial condition.

Other risks associated with our generic pharmaceutical business include:

Sales of our generic products may be adversely affected by the drug regulatory environment in Canada

Currently we sell our generic drugs only in Canada. Our net sales may be affected by fluctuations in the buying patterns of our customers resulting from government lead pricing pressures and other factors. Our generic sales in Canada are done via retail pharmacies, pharmacy channels, distributors, and wholesalers. Pricing pressures in Canada represent the highest risk due to ongoing and unresolved negotiations between the pharmaceutical industry and the federal government. These together with the fact that a significant portion of our revenues is derived from relatively few key customers, any financial difficulties experienced by a single key customer, or any delay in receiving payments from such a customer, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our revenues and profits from generic products may decline as a result of competition from other pharmaceutical companies and changes in regulatory policy

Our generic drugs face intense competition. Prices of generic drugs may, and often do, decline, sometimes dramatically, especially as additional generic pharmaceutical companies receive approvals and enter the market for a given product and competition intensifies. Consequently, our ability to sustain our sales and profitability on any given product over time is affected by the number of companies selling such product, including new market entrants, and the timing of their approvals.

Furthermore, brand pharmaceutical companies continue to manage products in a challenging environment through marketing agreements with payers, pharmacy benefits managers and generic manufacturers. For example, brand companies often sell or license their own generic versions of their products, either directly or through other generic pharmaceutical companies (so-called “authorized generics”). No significant regulatory approvals are required for authorized generics, and brand companies do not face any other significant barriers to entry into such market. Brand companies may seek to delay introductions of generic equivalents through a variety of commercial and regulatory tactics. These actions may increase the costs and risks of our efforts to introduce generic products and may delay or prevent such introduction altogether.

We may experience delays in launching our new generic products

If we cannot execute timely launches of new products, we may not be able to offset the increasing price erosion on existing products resulting from pricing pressures and accelerated generics approvals for competing products. Such unsuccessful launches can be caused by many factors, including delays in regulatory approvals, lack of operational or clinical readiness or patent litigation. Failure or delays to execute launches of new generic products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may not receive required regulatory approval for any of our non-generic pharmaceutical product candidates

We have not received approval for any of our proprietary (non-generic) drug development operations product candidates from the FDA. Any compounds we discover or in-license will require extensive and costly development, preclinical testing and clinical trials prior to seeking regulatory approval for commercial sales. Our most advanced product candidate, K1.1 mRNA and our potential Covid-19 treatment in development may never be approved for commercial sale. We have not made any filings to date with the FDA or other regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions. The time required to attain product sales and profitability is lengthy and highly uncertain. If we fail to obtain required regulatory approvals for our pharmaceutical product candidates, our business will be materially harmed.

As we have no approved non-generic pharmaceutical products on the market, we do not expect to generate significant revenues from non-generic pharmaceutical product sales in the foreseeable future, if at all

To date, we have no approved non-generic pharmaceutical products on the market and have generated product revenues solely from our OTC supplements operations and generic pharmaceutical product sales. We have funded our operations primarily from sales of our securities. We have not received, and do not expect to receive for at least the next three to four years, if at all, any revenues from the commercialization of our non-generic pharmaceutical product candidates. To obtain revenues from sales of such pharmaceutical product candidates we must succeed, either alone or with third parties, in developing, obtaining regulatory approval for manufacturing, marketing and distributing drugs with commercial potential. We may never succeed in these activities, and we may not generate sufficient revenues to continue our business operations or achieve profitability.

We will require additional funding to satisfy our future capital needs, which may not be available

We will require significant additional funding in large part due to our research and development expenses, future preclinical and clinical testing costs, and insufficient sales revenues in the near future. We do not know whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds, we may be required to reduce our capital expenditures, scale back product development programs, reduce our workforce and license to others products or technologies that we may otherwise be able to commercialize. We are currently unable to project when or whether our operations will generate positive cash flow.

Any additional equity securities we issue or issuances of debt we may enter into or undertake may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. To the extent that we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our technologies or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us.

The FDA may change its approval policies or requirements, or apply interpretations to its policies or requirements, in a manner that could delay or prevent commercialization of K1.1 mRNA or our potential Covid-19 treatment in development

Regulatory requirements may change in a manner that requires us to conduct additional clinical trials, which may delay or prevent commercialization of our K1.1 mRNA and potential Covid-19 treatment in development. We cannot provide any assurance that the FDA will not require us to repeat existing studies or conduct new or unforeseen experiments in order to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of any product candidate before considering the approval of such product candidates.

Our business would be materially harmed if we fail to obtain FDA approval for our pharmaceutical product candidates

We anticipate that our ability to generate significant product revenues from our drug development business will depend on the successful development and commercialization of K1.1 mRNA or our potential Covid-19 treatment in development. The FDA may not approve in a timely manner, or at all, any of our drug candidates. If we are unable to submit a new drug application for our product candidates, we will be unable to commercialize such products and our business will be materially harmed. The FDA imposes substantial requirements on the introduction of pharmaceutical products through lengthy and detailed laboratory and clinical testing procedures, sampling activities and other costly and time-consuming procedures. Satisfaction of these requirements typically takes several years and may vary substantially based upon the type and complexity of the pharmaceutical product. Our product candidates are novel compounds or new chemical entities, which may further increase the time required for satisfactory testing procedures.

We may be sued or become a party to litigation, which could require significant management time and attention and result in significant legal expenses and may result in an unfavorable outcome which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow

We may be forced to incur costs and expenses in connection with defending ourselves with respect to litigation and the payment of any settlement or judgment in connection therewith if there is an unfavorable outcome. The expense of defending litigation may be significant. The amount of time to resolve lawsuits is unpredictable and defending ourselves may divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operations of our business, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, an unfavorable outcome in any such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows.

If we are unable to attract and retain qualified scientific, technical, and key management personnel, or if our key executive, Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, discontinues his employment with us, it may delay our research and development efforts

We rely on the services of Dr. Slilaty for strategic and operational management, as well as for scientific and/or medical expertise in the development of our products. The loss of Dr. Slilaty would result in a significant negative impact on our ability to implement our business plan. The loss of Dr. Slilaty will also significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives.

Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks and we may be unable to acquire and maintain sufficient insurance to provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities

Our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products. The use of our products by our customers exposes us to the possibility of product liability claims and possible adverse publicity. These risks will increase to the extent our pharmaceutical product candidates receive regulatory approval and are commercialized. We currently have product liability insurance for our generic drugs and OTC products and we plan to obtain product liability insurance in connection with clinical trials of our pharmaceutical product candidates in the near future. However, our current and future product liability insurance may not provide adequate protection against potential liabilities. On occasion, juries have awarded large judgments in class action lawsuits based on drugs that had unanticipated side effects. A successful product liability claim, or series of claims brought against us would decrease our cash reserves and could cause our stock price to fall significantly.

We face regulation and risks related to hazardous materials and environmental laws, violations of which may subject us to claims for damages or fines that could materially affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations

Our research and development activities involve the use of controlled and/or hazardous materials and chemicals. The risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages or fines that result, and the liability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We are also subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling and disposal of hazardous materials and waste products. If we fail to comply with these laws and regulations or with the conditions attached to our operating licenses, the licenses could be revoked, and we could be subjected to criminal sanctions and substantial liability or be required to suspend or modify our operations. In addition, we may have to incur significant costs to comply with future environmental laws and regulations. We do not currently have a pollution and remediation insurance policy.

Third party manufacturers may not be able to manufacture our pharmaceutical product candidates, which would prevent us from commercializing our product candidates

If any of our pharmaceutical product candidates is approved by the FDA or other regulatory agencies for commercial sale, we will need third parties to manufacture the product in larger quantities. If we are able to reach an agreement with any collaborator or third-party manufacturer in the future, of which there can be no assurance due to factors beyond our control, these collaborators and/or third-party manufacturers may not be able to increase their manufacturing capacity for any of our product candidates in a timely or economic manner, or at all. Significant scale-up of manufacturing may require additional validation studies, which the FDA must review and approve. If we are unable to increase the manufacturing capacity for a product candidate successfully, the regulatory approval or commercial launch of that product candidate may be delayed or there may be a shortage in the supply of the product candidate. Our product candidates require precise, high-quality manufacturing. The failure of collaborators or third-party manufacturers to achieve and maintain these high manufacturing standards, including the incidence of manufacturing errors, could result in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or failures in product testing or delivery, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm our business.

If we are unable to establish sales and marketing capabilities for our pharmaceutical product candidates or enter into agreements with third parties to sell and market any such products we may develop, we may be unable to generate revenues from our non-generic pharmaceutical business

We do not currently have product sales and marketing capabilities for our non-generic pharmaceutical operations. If we receive regulatory approval to commence commercial sales of any of our pharmaceutical product candidates, we will have to establish a sales and marketing organization with appropriate technical expertise and distribution capabilities or make arrangements with third parties to perform these services in other jurisdictions. If we receive approval in applicable jurisdictions to commercialize any of our pharmaceutical products candidates, we intend to engage additional pharmaceutical or health care companies with existing distribution systems and direct sales organizations to assist us in North America and throughout the world. We may not be able to negotiate favorable distribution partnering arrangements, if at all. To the extent we enter into co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, any revenues we receive will depend on the efforts of third parties and will not be under our control. If we are unable to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, whether independently or with third parties, our ability to generate product revenues, and become profitable, would be severely limited.

Even if we obtain required US and foreign regulatory approvals, as applicable, factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize our pharmaceutical product candidates without strategic partners or licensees include:

Even if we successfully develop and obtain approval for our proprietary drug product candidates, our business will not be profitable if such products do not achieve and maintain market acceptance

Even if our proprietary drug product candidates are approved for commercial sale by the FDA or other regulatory authorities, the degree of market acceptance of our approved product candidates by physicians, healthcare professionals, patients and third-party payors, and our resulting profitability and growth, will depend on a number of factors, including:

If our proprietary drug product candidates achieve market acceptance, we may not maintain that market acceptance over time if new products or technologies are introduced that are received more favorably or are more cost effective. Complications may also arise, such as development of new know-how or new medical or therapeutic capabilities by other parties that render our product obsolete.

Because the results of preclinical studies for our preclinical product candidates are not necessarily predictive of future results, our pharmaceutical product candidates may not have favorable results in later clinical trials or ultimately receive regulatory approval

Our proprietary drug product candidates have not been tested in clinical trials. Positive results from preclinical studies are no assurance that later clinical trials will succeed. Preclinical studies are not designed to establish the clinical efficacy of our preclinical product candidates. We will be required to demonstrate through clinical trials that our product candidates are safe and effective for use before we can seek regulatory approvals for commercial sale. There is typically an extremely high rate of failure as product candidates proceed through the various phases of clinical trials. If our product candidates fail to demonstrate sufficient safety and efficacy in any clinical trial, we would experience potentially significant delays in, or be required to abandon, development of that product candidate. This would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and may damage our reputation in the industry and in the investment community.

The future clinical testing of our proprietary drug product candidates could be delayed, resulting in increased costs to us and a delay in our ability to generate revenues

Our proprietary drug product candidates will require additional preclinical testing and extensive clinical trials prior to submission of a regulatory application for commercial sales. We do not know whether clinical trials will begin on time, if at all. Delays in the commencement of clinical testing could significantly increase our product development costs and delay product commercialization. In addition, many of the factors that may cause, or lead to, a delay in the commencement of clinical trials may also ultimately lead to denial of regulatory approval of a product candidate. Each of these results would adversely affect our ability to generate revenues.

The commencement of clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in:

In addition, the commencement of clinical trials may be delayed due to insufficient patient enrollment, which is a function of many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the availability of effective treatments for the relevant disease, and the eligibility criteria for the clinical trial. If we are unable to enroll a sufficient number of evaluable patients, the clinical trials for our product candidates could be delayed until sufficient numbers are achieved.

We face or will face significant competition from other biotechnology, pharmaceutical and OTC supplements companies, and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively

Most of our pharmaceutical company competitors, such as Merck, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Pfizer, Amgen, and others, are large pharmaceutical companies with substantially greater financial, technical, and human resources than we have. The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. The drugs that we are attempting to develop will compete with existing therapies if we receive marketing approval. Because of their significant resources, our competitors may be able to use discovery technologies and techniques, or partnerships with collaborators, to develop competing products that are more effective or less costly than the product candidate we are developing. This may render our technology or product candidate obsolete and noncompetitive. Academic institutions, government agencies, and other public and private research organizations may seek patent protection with respect to potentially competitive products or technologies and may establish exclusive collaborative or licensing relationships with our competitors.

Our competitors may succeed in obtaining FDA or other regulatory approvals for product candidates more rapidly than us. Companies that complete clinical trials, obtain required regulatory agency approvals and commence commercial sale of their drugs before we do may achieve a significant competitive advantage, including certain FDA marketing exclusivity rights that would delay or prevent our ability to market certain products. Any approved drugs resulting from our research and development efforts, or from our joint efforts with our existing or future collaborative partners, might not be able to compete successfully with our competitors' existing or future products.

We also face competition in our OTC supplements business. The business of marketing OTC supplements is highly competitive. This market segment includes numerous manufacturers, marketers, and retailers that actively compete for the business of consumers both in the United States and abroad. The market is highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. Sales of similar products by competitors may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Because our proprietary drug product candidates and our development and collaboration efforts depend on our intellectual property rights, adverse events affecting our intellectual property rights will harm our ability to commercialize products

Our success will depend to a large degree on our own and our licensors’ ability to obtain and defend patents for each party's respective technologies and the compounds and other products, if any, resulting from the application of such technologies. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and technical questions. No consistent policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in biotechnology patents has emerged to date. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims that will be allowed or maintained, after challenge, in our or other companies' patents.

The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain, and we cannot ensure that:

If we cannot maintain the confidentiality of our technology and other confidential information in connection with our collaborations, then our ability to receive patent protection or protect our proprietary information will be impaired. In addition, some of the technology we have developed or licensed relies on inventions developed using U.S. and other governments’ resources. Under applicable law, the U.S. government has the right to require us to grant a nonexclusive, partially exclusive or exclusive license for such technology to a responsible applicant or applicants, upon terms that are reasonable under the circumstances, if the government determines that such action is necessary.

Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information and may not adequately protect our intellectual property

We rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, particularly when we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information nor result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or other breaches of the agreements. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such case we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets is difficult, expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to seek to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive business position.

The implementation of our business plan may result in a period of rapid growth that will impose a significant burden on our current administrative and operational resources

Our ability to effectively manage our growth will require us to substantially expand the capabilities of our administrative and operational resources by attracting, training, managing, and retaining additional qualified personnel, including additional members of management, technicians, and others. To successfully develop our products, we will need to manage operating, producing, marketing and selling our products. There can be no assurances that we will be able to do so. Our failure to successfully manage our growth will have a negative impact on our anticipated results of operations.

A significant or prolonged economic downturn could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations

A significant or prolonged economic downturn may adversely affect the disposable income of many consumers and may lower demand for some of our products. Any decline in economic conditions could negatively impact our business. A significant decline in consumer demand, even if only due in part to general economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profit margins.

The failure of our service providers and suppliers to supply quality services and materials in sufficient quantities, at a favorable price, and in a timely fashion could adversely affect the results of our operations

Our outside manufacturers buy raw materials from a limited number of suppliers. The loss of any of our major suppliers or of any supplier who, through our contract manufacturer, provides us materials that are hard to obtain elsewhere at the same quality could adversely affect our business operations. Although we believe we could establish alternate manufacturers and sources for most of our raw materials, any delay in locating and establishing relationships with other sources could result in shortages of products we manufacture from such raw materials, with a resulting loss of sales and customers.

A shortage of raw materials or an unexpected interruption of supply could also result in higher prices for those materials. We have experienced increases in various raw material costs, transportation costs and the cost of petroleum-based raw materials and packaging supplies used in our business. Increasing cost pricing pressures on raw materials and other products occurred throughout fiscal 2023 as a result of limited supplies of various ingredients, the effects of higher labor and transportation costs, and the impact of Covid-19. We expect these upward pressures to continue through fiscal 2024. Although we may be able to raise our prices in response to significant increases in the cost of raw materials, we may not be able to raise prices sufficiently or quickly enough to offset the negative effects such cost increases could have on our results of operations or financial condition.

There can be no assurance suppliers will provide the quality raw materials we need in the quantities requested or at a price we are willing to pay. Because we do not control the actual production of these raw materials, we are also subject to delays caused by interruption in production of materials including but not limited to those resulting from conditions outside of our control, such as pandemics, weather, transportation interruptions, strikes, terrorism, geopolitics, natural disasters, and other catastrophic events.

Our business is subject to the effects of adverse publicity, which could negatively affect our sales and revenues

Our business can be affected by adverse publicity or negative public perception about us, our competitors, our products, or our industry or competitors generally. Adverse publicity may include publicity about the efficacy, safety and quality of health care products or ingredients in general or our products or ingredients specifically, and regulatory investigations, regardless of whether these investigations involve us or the business practices or products of our competitors, or our customers. Any adverse publicity or negative public perception could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected if any of our products or any similar products distributed by other companies are alleged to be or are proved to be harmful to consumers or to have unanticipated and unwanted health consequences.

Our manufacturing and third-party fulfillment activities are subject to certain risks

Our products are manufactured at third party manufacturing facilities in Canada and overseas. As a result, we are dependent on the uninterrupted and efficient operation of these facilities. Such manufacturing operations, and those of their suppliers, are subject to power failures, blackouts, border shutdowns, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, human error, breakdown, failure or substandard performance. The occurrence of these or any other operational problems, including the improper installation or operation of equipment, terrorism, pandemics (including Covid-19), natural or other disasters, intentional acts of violence, and the need to comply with the requirements or directives of governmental agencies, including the FDA and Health Canada may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

There is significant volatility in the price and trading volume of our common stock, and investors may find it difficult to buy and sell our shares

Our common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market since February 15, 2022. The price and daily trading volume of our common stock have been very volatile and may continue to be so, and any significant trading volume in our common stock may not be maintained. These factors may have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our common stock.

If we are unable to continue to meet the listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock will be delisted

Our common stock currently trades on Nasdaq, where it is subject to various listing requirements.

On March 24, 2023, we received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. On September 21, 2023, the Company received another notification letter from Nasdaq advising that Nasdaq’s staff had determined that the Company was eligible for an extension of an additional 180 calendar day period, or until March 18, 2024, to cure the bid price deficiency.

On February 28, 2024, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq advising that Nasdaq’s staff had determined that as of February 27, 2024, our common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and accordingly, we were subject to the provisions contemplated under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii). Accordingly, Nasdaq determined to remove our securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, subject to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series which provides us with the opportunity to appeal this determination.

On June 7, 2024, we received a notification letter from Nasdaq, that based on further review of our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and supporting materials submitted to Nasdaq, its staff determined to delist our securities pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101. Specifically, as set forth in the letter, Nasdaq’s staff determined that the “alternative cashless exercise” provision of the Series A Warrants the Company issued on February 15, 2024, raised public interest and investor protection concerns because the issuance of Series A Warrants resulted in substantial dilution for the stockholders of the Company to date and could cause potential future dilution. Accordingly, as set forth in the letter, this matter served as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The letter served as a formal notification that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) would consider this matter in their decision regarding our continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

On September 9, 2024, we received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that we had regained compliance with the bid price requirement in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), as required by the Panel’s decision dated June 28, 2024.

The letter further stated that the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (“Nasdaq Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Nasdaq Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). The Company’s securities may be delisted from Nasdaq at that time.

If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradeable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future

We have paid no dividends on our common stock to date and we do not anticipate paying any dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our future dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, we currently anticipate that we will retain any earnings to finance our future expansion and for the implementation of our business plan. Investors should take note of the fact that a lack of a dividend can further affect the market value of our common stock and could significantly affect the value of any investment in our Company.

Our articles of incorporation allow for our board to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock

Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock are designated Series B Preferred Stock and 130,000 of such shares are outstanding and held by our Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors could authorize the creation of additional series of preferred stock that would grant to holders of preferred stock the right to our assets upon liquidation, or the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock. In addition, subject to the rules of any securities exchange on which our stock is then listed, our board of directors could authorize the creation of additional series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.

Additional stock offerings in the future or the issuance of stock upon exercise of outstanding warrants may dilute then-existing shareholders’ percentage ownership in our Company

Given our plans and expectations that we will need additional capital and personnel, we anticipate that we will need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, convertible notes, stock options or warrants. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, we have 12,934,943 outstanding warrants, subject to adjustment. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of our then current stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion highlights the principal factors that have affected our financial condition and results of operations as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these forward-looking statements.

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.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we generated revenues of $24,092,787, compared to revenues of $4,345,603 in 2022. The increase was the result of twelve months of Nora Pharma sales included in the 2023 results compared to only seventy-two days of sales in 2022 (October 20, 2022, the date of acquisition of Nora Pharma, through December 31, 2022). The cost of sales in 2023 and 2022 for generating these revenues was $15,753,616 and $2,649,028, respectively.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, were $13,124,470, compared to $28,697,325 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $15,572,855. However, excluding the one-time impairment of goodwill in the amount of $18,326,719 from the 2022 G&A expenses, reveals an increase in G&A expenses of $2,753,864 in 2023. This increase is due to G&A expenses incurred by Nora Pharma during all of 2023, compared to only 72 days of G&A expenses included in 2022.

We had interest income of $811,974 in 2023, compared to interest income of $518,650 in 2022. We incurred $137,308 in interest expense in 2023, compared to $39,412 in interest expense in 2022.

As a result, we incurred a net loss of $4,506,044 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to a net loss of $26,744,440 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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.

As of December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $16,292,347.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $656,150 during the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $14,619,390 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The reason for the decrease was due to the acquisition of Nora Pharma which took place on October 20, 2022. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $3,425,587 in 2023, compared to $39,465,107 in 2022. The decrease was primarily a result of three (3) rounds of financing which took place in February, March, and April 2022 and only one (1) relatively small financing in 2023. Net cash used in operations was $8,775,111 in 2023, compared to $5,248,358 in 2022. The increase was due to expansion of Nora Pharma drugs portfolio.

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 are believed 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.

Leases

We follow the guidance in ASC 842 “Accounting for Leases,” as amended, which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements we enter into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma, currently occupies a 23,500 square foot facility located at 1565 Boulevard Lionel-Boulet, Varennes, Quebec, Canada, J3X 1P7 pursuant to a lease agreement that expires in January 2030, with an option to extend for 5 years. This site is composed of 18,500 square feet of warehouse space and 5,000 square feet of executive office space. The facility houses all administrative, marketing, quality control, regulatory affairs, and other operations personal, as well as a Health Canada licensed warehouse space. We pay a monthly rent of $27,250 CAD (approximately $19,900 USD), including taxes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

We have adopted all new accounting standards impacting operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

BUSINESS

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.

Products on the Market

Through Nora Pharma we currently have the following generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada:

________________ 

*Sold through distribution agreements

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:

_____________

* 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.

In addition, we are the owner of four (4) NPN’s issued by Health Canada including (i) NPN 80089663 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell our in-house developed OTC product, Essential•9, (ii) NPN 80093432 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell the OTC product, Calcium-Vitamin D under the brand name Essential Calcium-Vitamin D, (iii) NPN 80125047 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell the OTC product, L-Citrulline, and (iv) NPN 80127436 which authorizes us to manufacture and sell the OTC product, Taurine.

Manufacturing

Our generic drugs are manufactured by several different international partners under long-term contracts.

We currently do not have any proprietary drugs on the market. Research quantities of our proprietary drug candidates are currently manufactured at the University of Arizona located in Tucson, Arizona (Anti-Coronavirus compounds), WuXi App Tech located in Hong Kong, China (Adva-27a compound), and Arranta Bio MA LLC located in Watertown, Massachusetts (K1.1 mRNA).

Our OTC products are manufactured under contract by INOV Pharma Inc. located in Montreal, Canada.

Marketing and Sales

Our generic drugs are currently being sold across Canada. All of our generic drug sales are conducted by Nora Pharma’s sales representatives based in key Provinces across Canada. A segment of our marketing team provides human resources, commercial and technical assistance, as well as training and education support to pharmacy owners.

Our OTC products are currently sold in the U.S. and Canada through Amazon.com and Amazon.ca, respectively. Our personnel, together with outside consultants develop and place ads on various media platforms and manage our accounts with Amazon.

Government Regulations

All of our business operations, including our generic drugs, proprietary drugs, and OTC products operations, are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations.

In the United States, the Federal Government agency responsible for regulating prescription drugs and nonprescription OTC supplements is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Canadian counterpart to the FDA is Health Canada. Though the FDA and Health Canada have generally similar requirements for drugs and OTC supplements to be approved or allowed to be marketed, approval in one jurisdiction does not automatically result in approval in the other. In Canada, prescription drugs and nonprescription OTC supplements are authorized through the issuance by Health Canada of a Drug Identification Number (DIN) for the former and a Natural Product Number (NPN) for the latter. In the United States, OTC supplements are required to be registered with the FDA prior to marketing. In both the U.S. and Canada, the ingredients, manufacturing processes and facilities for all drugs and OTC supplements must meet the guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”). Moreover, all drug manufacturers must perform a series of tests, both during and after production, to show that every drug or supplement batch made meets the regulatory requirements for that product.

Our generic prescription medicines are produced following the same Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines as for brand-name drugs. Prescription drugs dossiers are filed with Health Canada in order to obtain a manufacturing Notice of Compliance (NOC) and a Drug Identification Number (DIN). The same grant the applicant marketing authorization in Canada. In the case of Nora Pharma’s products, Nora Pharma secures cross-licenses from supply partners holding NOC’s and in turn applies to Health Canada to obtain DIN’s issued in Nora Pharma’s name in order to commercialize in Canada. In Canada, the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA), an alliance of the provincial, territorial and federal governments that collaborates on a range of public drug plan initiatives to increase and manage access to clinically effective and affordable drug treatments, determines generic drugs pricing based on a percentage of the brand-name reference products.

In the area of proprietary drug development where our Anti-Coronavirus and Anti-Cancer compounds fall, we will be subject to significant regulations in the U.S. in order to obtain approval of the FDA to offer our products for sale. The approximate procedure for obtaining FDA approval involves an initial filing of an IND application following which the FDA would review and allow for the drug developer to proceed with Phase I clinical trials. Following completion of Phase I, the results are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase II. Similarly, following completion of Phase II the data are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase III. Following completion of Phase III, a new drug application, or NDA is submitted and a request is made for marketing approval. Depending on various issues and considerations, the FDA could provide “emergency use authorization” or limited approval for “compassionate-use” if the drug treats terminally ill patients with limited or no other treatment options available. As of the date of the filing of this prospectus, we have not made any filings with the FDA or other regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions.

In connection with OTC supplements, the FDA regulates the formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage, labeling, promotion, distribution, and sale of such products, while the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regulates marketing and advertising claims. In August 2007, a rule issued by the FDA went into effect requiring companies that manufacture, package, label, distribute or hold OTC supplements to meet certain GMP requirements to ensure such products are of the quality specified and are properly packaged and labeled. We are committed to meeting or exceeding the standards set by the FDA and the FTC and we believe we are currently operating within both the FDA and FTC mandates.

Employees

As of the date of this prospectus we have a total of 46 employees., all of whom are full-time.

Presently, our proprietary drug development activities are subcontracted out to specialized service providers in the U.S., Canada and overseas. We also use consultants for various other activities including marketing, accounting, and IT.

Competition

The Canadian generic pharmaceuticals market was valued at approximately $9.7 billion USD in 2023. Generic pharmaceutical companies produce and deliver more than 70% of the prescribed medicines with high quality at affordable prices. There are more than 35 active generic players in the market, of which, the top 3 hold approximately a 50% share of the market. Nora Pharma is relatively new in this space but has demonstrated one of the fastest year-over-year sales increase amongst its peers.

Our Anti-Coronavirus drug development project is in direct competition with several companies in the U.S. that have developed effective vaccines or treatment options for Covid-19. The companies focused on treatments include Pfizer, Merck, Gilead, Eli Lilly, and Regeneron. Today two leading vaccines (Pfizer’s, and Moderna’s) and two antibody treatments (Regeneron’s, and Eli Lilly’s) are in use. Gilead’s Remdesivir, an antiviral injectable, was approved by the FDA for treatment of Covid-19 in October 2020. In addition, in December 2021, Pfizer received Emergency Use Authorization (“EUA”), for its antiviral pill, Paxlovid, and, in the same month, the FDA granted Merck EUA for its antiviral pill, Molnupiravir. While the approved vaccines, pills and injectable treatments are effective, we believe that additional treatment options such as the one we are developing which targets a different part of the virus could potentially form an important component of the range of anti-coronavirus treatment options available to attending physicians.

In the area of anticancer drug development, we compete with large publicly and privately held companies engaged in developing new cancer therapies. There are numerous other entities engaged in oncology therapeutics development that have greater resources than the resources presently available to us. Nearly all major pharmaceutical companies including Merck, Amgen, Roche, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis, to name a few, have on-going anticancer drug development programs and some of the drugs they may develop could be in direct competition with our own. In addition, a number of smaller companies are working in the area of cancer therapy and could develop drugs that may be in competition with ours.

Similarly, our OTC products fall directly within a very crowded and highly competitive product sector. As of the date of this prospectus, we believe Essential 9™ is the only Essential Amino Acid product that comprises all 9 essential amino acids in capsule form. We believe this may provide us with a competitive advantage, at least for the near future but there are no assurances that this will occur.

Properties

Our principal place of business is located at 333 Las Olas Way, CU4 Suite 433, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. This location is not subject to a lease agreement. We pay rent on a month-to-month basis

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share, and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share. 1,000,000 shares of our preferred stock are designated as Series B Preferred Stock.

As of November 5, 2024, there were 1,999,660 shares of our common stock, outstanding, which does not include:

Common Stock

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the voting power of our stockholders for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of one-third of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s stockholders is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no withdrawal provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock. 

Blank Check Preferred Stock

Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share, in one or more series, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders. Each such series of preferred stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

Series B Preferred Stock

1,000,000 shares of our authorized preferred stock have been designated Series B Preferred Stock. 130,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding and held by our chief executive officer, Dr. Steve N. Slilaty.

The Series B Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 1,000 votes.

Upon any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to a payment equal to the stated value of $0.10 per share, prior to any payments being made with respect to the common stock. The Series B Preferred Stock is not redeemable by the Company and is entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors in its sole discretion.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are offering up to 12,934,062 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding Series B Warrants. The Series B Warrants were issued by the Company pursuant to its public offering which closed on February 15, 2014. The Series B Warrants have a five year term commencing on the date of issuance and a current exercise price of $2.7879 per share. The number of shares underlying the Series B Warrants and the exercise price are subject to further adjustment.

Because there is no assurance any of the Series B Warrants will be exercised at the current exercise price, or at all, the actual public offering amount, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth herein. Series B Warrant holders may exercise their Series B Warrants by submitting notices of exercises, and paying the exercise price, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Series B Warrants. If there is no effective registration statement for the underlying shares, holders may elect to exercise the Series B Warrants on a cashless basis.

We estimate that our expenses in connection with this offering will be approximately $50,000.
