Results of Operations



Comparison of Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, we generated revenues of $4,345,603, compared to revenues of $228,426, in 2021. The increase was the result of our acquisition of Nora Pharma in October 2022, which accounted for $3,803,106 of these revenues. The cost of sales in 2022 and 2021 for generating these revenues was $2,649,028 and $117,830, respectively.

General and administrative expenses for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, were $28,697,325, compared to $2,550,730 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $26,146,595. The increase was largely a result of goodwill impairment of $18,326,719 and costs and expenses relating to the Nora Pharma acquisition.

We also incurred $39,412 in interest expense and $0 in losses from debt conversion in 2022, compared to $328,818 in interest expense and $9,726,485 in losses from debt conversion in 2021. The decrease in interest expense and losses from debt conversion in 2022 was due to our repayment of all outstanding debt in 2022.

As a result, we incurred a net loss of $26,511,136 for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss of $12,436,447 for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $14,619,390 during the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $0 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The reason for the increase was due to the acquisition of Nora Pharma. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $39,465,107 in 2022 compared to $2,904,675 in 2021. The increase was primarily a result of the three (3) rounds of financing which took place in February, March, and April 2022. Net cash used in operations was $5,248,358 in 2022, compared to $1,829,128 in 2021. The reason for the increase was the acquisition of Nora Pharma.

We are not generating adequate revenues from our operations to fully implement our business plan as set forth herein. On February 17, 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million from the sale of common stock and warrants in an underwritten public offering. On March 14, 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million from the sale of common stock and warrants in a private placement. On April 28, 2022, we received net proceeds of approximately $16.8 million from the sale of common stock and warrants in a private placement. We believe our existing cash will be sufficient to fund our operations, including general and administrative expenses, expanded research and development activities, and OTC supplements business, for the next 24 months. There is no assurance our estimates will be accurate. We 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 arising from the Nora Pharma acquisition. 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 15,000 square foot facility located at 1565 Boulevard Lionel-Boulet, Varennes, Quebec, Canada, J3X 1P7 pursuant to a lease agreement that expires January 31, 2025, with an option to extend for 5 years. This site is comprised of 15,000 square feet that includes 10,000 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 $17,250 CAD (approximately $12,750 USD), including taxes.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate a material impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815 - 40), ("ASU 2020-06"). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity's own equity. The ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors.
