NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2022

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF ORGANIZATION

Organization and Business Description

PANACEA LIFE SCIENCES HOLDINGS, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”) was incorporated on January 18, 2008 in the State of Nevada. In January 2019, the Company added to the scope of its business activities, efforts to produce, market and sell products made from industrial hemp containing cannabidiol (“CBD”). On June 30, 2021 the Company entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Panacea Life Sciences, Inc., (“Panacea”) a seed to sale CBD company, and the stockholders of Panacea. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the former Panacea stockholders assumed majority control of the Company and all operations are now operated by Panacea, which as a result of the share exchange, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In October 2021, the Company changed its name from Exactus Inc. to Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc.

The Company is a GMP certified, seed-to-sale cannabinoid and nutraceutical manufacturer and research company that produces purposeful, natural pharmaceutical alternatives for consumers and pets. In addition to manufacturing raw materials from industrial hemp, we custom formulate and manufacture softgels (both bovine and vegan), gummies, tinctures, sublingual tablets, patches, K-Tape, topical pain relief and skin care products. Panacea was founded by Leslie Buttorff in 2017 as a woman-owned business, was formed to own and engage in creating disruptive healthcare and veterinary natural relief products to make a difference in the lives of humans and pets.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Panacea Life Sciences, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary acquired on June 30, 2021.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, which includes consolidated unaudited interim financial statements and present the consolidated unaudited interim financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary as of June 30, 2022. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows as of June 30, 2022, and 2021, and for the periods then ended, have been made. Those adjustments consist of normal and recurring adjustments. Operating results for the three ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2022. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

Going concern

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern. Panacea has combined with Panacea Life Sciences Holdings, Inc. (formerly Exactus), so the below items reflect the consolidated company. The going concern concept contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since our inception in later 2017, we have generated losses from operations. As of June 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit was $21.5 million, and we had $2.599 million in cash and liquid stock. As of June 30, 2022 the shares of common stock we hold in 22^nd Century Group, Inc. (1,203,000 shares) (Nasdaq: XXII) (“XXII”) was valued at approximately $2.562 million. The XXII stock is pledged to secure a $4.063 million promissory note in favor of Quintel-MC, Incorporated (“Quintel”) and a $1.624 million promissory note in favor of Leslie Buttorff, CEO of the Company. Quintel-MC, Inc. is owned by the CEO. These items are shown on the balance sheet as related party loans. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the issuance date of this report. Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve or maintain profitable operations or become cash flow positive or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. In addition, due to insufficient revenue, we will need to obtain further funding through public or private equity offerings, debt financing, collaboration arrangements or other sources in order to maintain active business operations. We currently do not have sufficient cash flow to pay our ongoing financial obligations on a consistent basis. The issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to our shareholders. In addition, adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. In November 2021, the Company closed a $1.1 million convertible note and warrants financing and received $1 million.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity which may reduce the future demand for a broad variety of goods and services, while also disrupting sales channels, marketing activities and supply chains. The Company’s business operations have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and related events. While the lockdowns and disruptions have largely ended, we cannot predict whether future variants will cause adverse consequences. However, recent supply chain disruptions and delays may hinder our ability to continue our operations and generate revenue. The impact to date has included a decline in CBD product and sales demand. Further, in 2020, the Company (Panacea) invested in personal protective equipment (PPE) materials to sell hand sanitizers, testing kits and masks, and sales of PPE products, which constituted a significant portion of our revenue during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 and prior periods. These revenues have declined as vaccines continue to be administered and mask mandates and similar requirements have been lifted or reduced in many places. Although the Company is unable to predict the full impact and duration of COVID-19 on its business, the Company is actively managing its financial expenditures in response to the current uncertainty.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related events, including actions taken by various government authorities in response, have increased market volatility and make the estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes more difficult. As of the date of issuance of the financial statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require it to update its estimates, judgments or revise the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known.

Use of Estimates

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with US GAAP and required management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions in preparation of these statements. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include but are not limited to the useful life of property and equipment, incremental borrowing rate used in the calculation of right of use asset and lease liability, reserves for inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue allocations, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-term assets, assumptions used in the calculation of net realizable value of inventory and fair value of non-cash equity transactions.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of balance sheet presentation and reporting of cash flows, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds and highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of less than 90 days to be cash and cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high-quality financial institutions. At times, balances in the Company’s cash accounts may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit. On June 30, 2022, the Company’s cash balances did not exceed the FDIC limit.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance of $10,000 was taken at the beginning of 2022 to allow for any doubtful accounts to be expensed. As of June 30, 2022 $5,850 of this allowance was expensed. The Company’s accounts receivable policy changed in 2021 to only provide larger, well-established companies with Net 30 payment terms. For all other sales they are paid by credit card or wires received before the product is shipped to the customer.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at low of cost or net realizable value. Inventories of purchased materials are valuated using a moving average method and managed by first in first out basis (FIFO). Inventories of internally manufactured materials are valuated using a standard costing method and are also managed on a FIFO basis. Production related costs that are capitalized as inventory as part of the standard cost valuation include the direct materials consumed, direct labor used, indirect labor used, and manufacturing overhead. Overhead is calculated based on specific manufacturing process and allocated on an order-by-order basis. Production variances that occur between standard cost valuation and actual costs are expensed as incurred in the income statement as part of cost of goods sold.

Marketable securities

The Company’s marketable securities consists of 1,203,000 shares of XXII which are classified as available-for-sale and included in current assets as they are pledged to secure two promissory notes (see Note 2 – Going Concern). Securities are valued based on market prices for identical assets using third party certified pricing sources. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized and realized gains and losses reported as a component of income (loss). Realized gains and losses, if any, are calculated on the specific identification method and are included in other income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. The guidance prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value and establishes a three-tier value hierarchy that distinguishes among the following:

The following table shows, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

In May 2022 there was one sale of marketable securities out of Level 1. On May 2, 2022, 24,017 shares of XXII securities were sold at an average price of $3.29. The net proceeds were $46,833, which was a gain recorded of $22,816. The following table is a schedule of the Company’s marketable securities. The following table is schedule of the Company’s marketable securities:

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has no liabilities that are re-measured at fair value.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method on the various asset classes over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to ten years when placed in service. The cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill

The Company has intangible assets. Goodwill is comprised of the purchase price of business combinations in excess of the fair market value assigned at acquisition to the tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. The Company performed its most recent goodwill impairment using a discounted cash flow analysis and found that the fair value exceeded the carrying value. It has $2.189 million of goodwill from the acquisition of the assets of Phoenix Life Sciences, Inc. (“Phoenix”) in October 2017 and intangible assets of $0.030 million as of June 30, 2022 and $0.061 million for as of December 31, 2020. In the acquisition of Phoenix, the Company acquired product formulas which is classified as an intangible asset.

The following table is a schedule of the Company’s intangible assets and goodwill:

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Contracts containing a lease are further evaluated for classification as an operating or finance lease. In determining the leases classification, the Company assesses among other criteria: (i) 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset is a major part of the remaining economic life of that underlying asset; and (ii) 90% or more of the fair value of the underlying asset comprises substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, other current liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, other current liabilities, and long-term finance lease liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company records the ROU asset and liability at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments according to their term.

The Company uses incremental borrowing rates based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term or the useful life of the leased asset.

In addition, the carrying amount of the ROU and lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment to purchase the underlying asset.

Convertible Notes Payable

The Company has issued convertible notes, which contain variable conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest automatically convert into common shares at a fixed price which may be a discount to the common stock at the time of conversion. Some of the conversion features of these notes are contingent upon future events, whereby, the holder agreed not to convert until the contingent future event has occurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has been approved and committed to, each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred have been identified, the payment terms have been identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectability is probable. Revenue is generally recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. However, the Company’s sales are primarily through retail stores, purchase orders or ecommerce; thus, currently contract liabilities are negligible. The Company does not have any multiple-element arrangements.

Some of the Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance customer payments. Contract liability results from transactions in which the Company has been paid for products by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the contract liabilities are recognized. The Company recorded $196,284 and $24,585 in advanced customer payments as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively and these amounts are included in the balance sheet line item of accounts payable and accrued expenses.

The following table shows the Company’s advanced customer payments:

Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

Revenue related to the sale of products is recognized once goods have been sold to the customer and the performance obligation has been completed. In both contracted purchase and retail sales, we offer consumer products through our online stores. Revenue is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. This generally occurs upon our delivery to a third-party carrier or, to the customer directly. Revenue from tolling services is recognized when the performance obligation, such as processing of the material, has been completed and output material has been transferred to the customer.

Revenue is generally recognized net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. A contract liability results from transactions in which the Company has been paid for products by customers, but for which all revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met. Once all revenue recognition criteria have been met, the contract liabilities are recognized. The Company does not have any multiple-element arrangements.

The Company also has recorded other income related to rental income it receives from leasing out space in the laboratory it occupies.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company accounts for shipping and handling fees in accordance with ASC 606. The amounts charged to customers for shipping products are recognized as revenues and the related freight costs of shipping products are classified in general and administrative costs as incurred. Shipping costs are included as a component of general and administrative expenses and were $17,965and $8,826 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Shipping costs were $3,782 and $6,036 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Advertising & Marketing

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are included in advertising and promotional expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Included in this category are expenses related to public relations, investor relations, new package design, website design, design of promotional materials, cost of trade shows, cost of products given away as promotional samples, and paid advertising. The Company recorded advertising and marketing costs in general and administrative expenses and were $98,108 and $190,237 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Advertising and marketing costs were $31,312 and $80,968 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Segment Information

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting. This standard requires that companies disclose operating segments based on the manner in which management disaggregates the Company in making internal operating decisions. Segment identification and selection is consistent with the management structure used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to evaluate performance and make decisions regarding resource allocation, as well as the materiality of financial results consistent with that structure. Based on the Company’s management structure and method of internal reporting, the Company has one operating segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker does not review operating results on a disaggregated basis; rather, the chief operating decision maker reviews operating results on an aggregate basis.

Earnings per Share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if preferred stock converted to common stock and warrants are exercised. Preferred stock and warrants are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

The Business Combination on June 30, 2021 was accounted for as a recapitalization of equity structure. In October, 2021 the Company completed 1-for-28 reverse stock split. Pursuant to GAAP, the Company retrospectively recasted the weighted-average shares included within its condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The basic and diluted weighted-average Panacea ordinary shares are retroactively converted to shares of the Company’s common stock to conform to the recasted condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

The following financial instruments were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 because their effect was anti-dilutive:

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 740. These standards require a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely than not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contract’s in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2020-6 to have any material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2021-04 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options” which clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. An entity should measure the effect of a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as follows: i) for a modification or an exchange that is a part of or directly related to a modification or an exchange of an existing debt instrument or line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements (hereinafter, referred to as a “debt” or “debt instrument”), as the difference between the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option and the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged; ii) for all other modifications or exchanges, as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the modified or exchanged written call option over the fair value of that written call option immediately before it is modified or exchanged. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should apply the amendments prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring on or after the effective date of the amendments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, NET OF ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment, net including any major improvements, are recorded at historical cost. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged against operations as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally as follows:

Property and equipment, net consists of the following:

Depreciation expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $409,895, 818,586, and 460,316 and $887,838 respectively.

NOTE 4 - INVENTORY

Inventory consists of the following components:

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value using the standard costing method for its work in process and finished goods. For its raw materials, trading goods, and packaging supplies, the Company utilizes the moving average method for costing purposes and FIFO. At this time there are no inventory reserves required.

NOTE 5 –OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES – RELATED PARTY

Right of Use

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) on January 1, 2019, the start of our 2019 fiscal year. The Company has one lease arrangement with a related party entered into on December 22, 2018 for 3-year term starting with January 1, 2019 for certain laboratory facilities, with a nine-year extension option. This lease was extended and now expires on December 31, 2030. At inception, the Company recognized a Right of Use Asset and a corresponding lease liability in the amount of $4,595,509. The Company’s lease arrangements may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to combine and account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Company has incorporated residual value obligations in leases for which there is such occurrences. Regarding short-term leases, ASC 842-10-25-2 permits an entity to make a policy election not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to Short-term leases. The Company has elected not to apply the ASC 842 recognition criteria to any leases that qualify as Short-Term Leases.

The Company leases a portion of the property (formerly the Environmental Protection Agency building) in Golden, CO from J&N Real Estate, owned by the CEO, a related party with a term expiring on December 31, 2030. The lease consists of all laboratory space including testing facilities, water treatment, extraction and production. The lease of the property is based on the fair market rent and triple net lease (NNN) values competitive in the marketplace for a cGMP facility. The Company also subleases some of its laboratory space to other CBD companies. This income is presented under the Other Income line items of the statements of operations. The leases vary from short-term monthly leases to 3-year leases but are all cancellable.

Below is a summary of our right of use assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $114,693 and $229,386 respectively in operating lease costs. Operating lease costs are included in operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.

Approximate future minimum lease payments for our right of use assets over the remaining lease periods as of June 30, 2022, are as follows:

NOTE 6 – NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible Note Payable

On November 18, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell a 10% original issue discount senior convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,100,000 (the “Convertible Note”) and five-year warrants to purchase 785,715 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share at an exercise price of $1.40 per share (the “Warrants”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SPA for a total purchase price of $1,000,000.

The Note will be due November 18, 2022, which is one year from the issuance date. The Note initially does not bear any interest, however upon and during any event of default by the Company, the Note will accrue interest at a rate of 18% per annum. Events of default include the failure to file all required reports and other documents with the SEC pursuant to Exchange Act by January 2022, suspension of trading or quotation of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB or a national securities exchange, and failure to reserve a sufficient number of shares for the conversion or exercise of all securities sold under the SPA. Further, upon an event of default, the holder will have the right to cause the Company to redeem the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note at a 125% premium.

The principal and accrued interest on the Note is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $1.40 per share, subject to certain adjustments summarized as follows: (i) if an event of default has occurred prior to the maturity date, a reduction to 80% of the conversion price then in effect, (iii) anti-dilution adjustment upon certain issuances of common stock or derivative securities at a price per share that is lower than the conversion price, (iii) customary adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and similar corporate events, and (iv) adjustment upon a public offering by the Company meeting certain delineated criteria, as summarized below.

Under the terms of the Note, upon a public offering by the Company of common stock, either alone or in units or with other securities pursuant to an effective registration statement resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10,000,000, and in connection with which the common stock is approved for listing listed on a national securities exchange (a “Qualified Offering”), the conversion price will be reduced to 90% of the offering price per share in the Qualified Offering, if that price is lower than the conversion price then in effect. Additionally, immediately prior to a Qualified Offering, the Company may redeem all or part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note at a 115% premium.

The Note also contains customary negative covenants prohibiting the Company from certain actions while the Note remains outstanding.

The Warrants will be exercisable for a five-year term beginning on May 18, 2022, at an exercise price of $1.40 per share, subject to certain adjustments which are substantially similar to those contained in the Note, including the Qualified Offering adjustment.

Each of the Note and the Warrants contain a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation pursuant to which neither may be converted or exercised, as applicable, if and to the extent that following such conversion or exercise the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, subject to increase to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice by the holder.

Pursuant to the SPA, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement dated November 18, 2021, by and between the Company and the Purchaser, in which the Company has agreed to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the SEC following request by the Purchaser at any time following the 180-day period after the initial closing.

The Company calculated the fair value of the Warrants using the Black Scholes method as $877,261 and recorded their fair value along with the $100,000 original issue discount and relates issuance costs of $20,249 as a debt discount which will be amortized using the straight-line method over the one year note period. Amortization of the debt discount for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $117,515. The loan balance, net of discount was $220,005 as of December 31, 2021. Amortization of the debt discount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, was $248,694 and $494,656, respectively, and was recorded as interest expense. The debt discount balance at June 30, 2022, was $385,340.

On March 3, 2022, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue a 10% original issue discount senior convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $385,000 (the “Second Note”) and five-year warrants to purchase 275,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share at an exercise price of $1.40 per share (the “Warrants”) in exchange for 350 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A”). The Second Note matures on March 3, 2023.
