PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, | DATED JUNE [__], 2025 |
COSMOS HEALTH INC.
Up to 10,714,286 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 10,714,286 Pre-Funded Warrants
Up to 10,714,286 Common Warrants
Up to 21,428,572 Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants
We are offering on a “reasonable best efforts” basis up to 10,714,286 shares of common stock of Cosmos Health Inc. (the “Common Stock”) at an assumed purchase price of $0.70 per share. Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “COSM”. On June 2, 2025, the last reported sale price of our shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.459 per share.
We are also offering on a “reasonable best efforts” basis pre-funded warrants, or “Pre-Funded Warrants,” to purchase up to 10,714,286 shares of Common Stock. We are offering to purchasers whose purchase of Common Stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if any purchaser so chooses, Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise result in such purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. The assumed purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.699 (which is equal to the assumed public offering price per share of Common Stock to be sold in this offering minus $0.001, the exercise price per share of Common Stock of each Pre-Funded Warrant). The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of Common Stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis.
Our shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants are being offered together with warrants, or “Common Warrants,” to purchase up to 10,714,286 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering will be sold together with one Common Warrant. Each Common Warrant has an exercise price of $0.70 per share (representing 100% of the assumed combined public offering price per share of Common Stock and Common Warrants to be sold in this offering), and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. Because we will issue a Common Warrant for each share of Common Stock and each Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold.
Our shares of Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately. Each Common Warrant will be immediately exercisable at a fixed price upon issuance; unless this offering is not deemed a public offering under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) or the Pricing Conditions (as defined below) are not met. If this offering is not deemed a public offering by Nasdaq or the Pricing Conditions are not met, the Common Warrants will only become exercisable on the effective date of approval by our stockholders for the issuance of the shares upon exercise of such Common Warrants (the “Warrant Stockholder Approval”). Warrant Stockholder Approval would solely be required in order to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635, in the event of the issuance in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Shares of Common Stock when an offering is not deemed a public offering by Nasdaq or if the following Pricing Conditions are not met. “Pricing Conditions” as defined by Nasdaq means that the combined public offering price per share or per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant is such that the Warrant Stockholder Approval is not required under the rules of Nasdaq because either (i) the offering is an at-the-market offering under Nasdaq rules since the price equals or exceeds the Nasdaq “Minimum Price” under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) or (ii) the offering is a discounted offering where the pricing discount meets the pricing requirements under Nasdaq rules. Shares of Common Stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Common Warrants are also being offered by this prospectus. The securities being sold in this offering will be sold to purchasers pursuant to a securities purchase agreement to be entered into between us and certain purchasers.
The public offering price for our securities in this offering will be determined at the time of pricing and may be at a discount to the then current market price. The recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The final public offering price will be determined through negotiation between us and investors based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the industry in which we operate, our past and present operating results, the previous experience of our executive officers and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering. There is no established public trading market for the Common Warrants, and we do not expect markets to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.

The securities offered in this prospectus involve a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
There is no minimum number of securities or minimum aggregate amount of proceeds for this offering to close. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us, and investors in this offering will not receive a refund in the event that we do not sell an amount of securities sufficient to pursue our business goals described in this prospectus. Since we will deliver the securities to be issued in this offering upon our receipt of investor funds, there is no arrangement for funds to be received in escrow, trust or similar arrangement. Because there is no escrow account and no minimum offering amount, investors could be in a position where they have invested in our company, but we are unable to fulfill all of our contemplated objectives due to a lack of interest in this offering.
We have engaged, or the placement agent, as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent is not purchasing or selling the securities offered by us and is not required to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of our securities, but will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus. We have agreed to pay the placement agent a cash fee equal to [__]% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in this offering as set forth in the table below. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 78 of this prospectus for more information.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus that we consider important. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should read this summary together with the entire prospectus, including the risks related to our business, our industry, and investing in our securities, that we describe under “Risk Factors” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes before making an investment in our securities.
Company Overview
Cosmos Health Inc. was incorporated in 2009 in Nevada and is a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, owner of proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands, generics, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, engaged in research & development of innovative medicines and repurposing drugs as well as operator of a telehealth platform.
As a global company we are harnessing our expertise and stepping up innovation to continue the momentum behind the discovery, delivery, and expanded development of modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
Our Markets
We operate in the healthcare sector and particularly in the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical businesses. We cover vertically several process phases within the abovementioned sectors, such as research & development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of products and services. More specifically, we operate in generic medicines, nutraceuticals, biocides, medical devices, novel oncology drugs, drug repurposing and telehealth services.
Generic medicines are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of branded pharmaceutical products and are generally marketed under their generic (chemical) names rather than by brand names. Typically, a generic drug may not be marketed until the expiration of applicable patent(s) on the corresponding branded product, unless a resolution of patent litigation results in an earlier opportunity to enter the market. Generic drugs are the same as branded products in dosage form, safety, efficacy, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use, but they are sold generally at prices below those of the corresponding branded products. Generic drugs provide a cost-effective alternative for consumers, while maintaining the same high quality, efficacy, safety profile, purity and stability of the branded product.
The Company also conducts its business within the global nutraceuticals market with our own brand which we consider to be highly qualitative and competitive. Nutraceuticals are defined as products that contain at least one dietary ingredient within them and can be consumed orally. Some of the purposes of nutraceuticals are used for immune system defense, energy, stress, bones and joints.
According to a study published by Towards Healthcare, the global generic drugs market was valued at $424.98 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $874.63 billion by 2033, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.35% throughout the forecasted period. The rise in patent expiration, increasing demand for cost-effective and efficient medicines and less complex approval process for generics drive the market growth.
The global nutraceuticals market size is calculated at USD 591.15 billion in 2024, grew to USD 636.31 billion in Q1 2025, and is projected to reach around USD 1,234 billion by 2034. The market is expanding at a CAGR of 7.64% between 2025 and 2034. This indicates a growing interest in products that promote wellness and help prevent illness. This shift towards focusing on preventive health is driving an increase in market demand.
According to the Towards Healthcare study, the global obesity & weight management market size is calculated at USD 163.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to be worth USD 362.1 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2024 to 2034, driven by the increasing prevalence of obesity and its associated health risks, including diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic conditions.
According to Future Market Insights, the global hospital disinfectant products and services market size is expected to reach $75.6 billion in value by 2033. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% during the forecast period, with the EU and UK market playing a significant role.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global oncology drugs market size was valued at USD 201.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 220.80 billion in 2024 to USD 518.25 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
The global drug repurposing market size is anticipated to reach USD 30.1 billion by 2028, up from USD 24.5 billion in 2021, reflecting a CAGR of 2.9% over the 2022-2028 period. Drug repurposing, often referred to as re-profiling, is the process of identifying new therapeutic applications for approved and marketed drugs that have already been through safety and efficacy testing and has emerged as a key strategy by the vast majority of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to fuel significant business expansion. Notably, between 2007 and 2009, 30-40% of all biologics approved in the U.S. were either repurposed or repositioned drugs.

In 2024, we continued to execute on the core elements of our growth strategy, which remains as follows: | ||

|
|
|
| - | Corporate Reorganization: through vertical integration and efficiency, a corporate reorganization is underway to streamline costs and enhance asset and resource utilization through the integration of business units. A key component of this plan is to achieve operational efficiencies and economies of scale through organic growth and a cost optimization initiative aimed at significantly reducing recurring operating expenses and while maintaining the Company's growth outlook. |

Finally, our recently acquired AI-driven drug repurposing platform “Cloudscreen®”, aims to address major health challenges in various treatment areas. |
|
|
|
We have made several strategic acquisitions of companies, products and technologies to complement our internal growth and expertise. These acquisitions have strengthened our core product technology infrastructure by providing additional manufacturing, marketing, and research and development capabilities, including the ability to manufacture our products, other product components and services. |

Going Concern
The Company’s audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company had revenue of $13,712,528, net loss of $818,097 and net cash used in operations of $186,316. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had positive working capital of $1,259,012, an accumulated deficit of $114,840,372, and stockholders’ equity of $25,951,712. For the year ended period December 31, 2024, the Company had revenue of $54,426,402, net loss of $16,183,018 and net cash used in operations of $7,717,034. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of $296,193, an accumulated deficit of $114,022,275, and stockholders’ equity of $24,532,929. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of this filing.
The Company’s revenues are not able to sustain its operations, and concerns exist regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company is subject to a number of risks to those of smaller commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other pharmaceutical and health care companies.
This offering is being made on a best efforts basis and we may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby and may receive significantly less in net proceeds from this offering. Assuming that we receive a minimum of $3,750,000 of proceeds from this offering, we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our cash on hand, will satisfy our capital needs for six months under our current business plan and assuming that we receive $7,500,000 of proceeds from this offering, we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our cash on hand, will satisfy our capital needs for 12 months under our current business plan. Following this offering, we will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations and continue to support our planned commercialization activities.

Nasdaq Non-Compliance Letter
Pursuant to a non-compliance letter from Nasdaq dated November 6, 2024, the Company was notified that it failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement as one of the continued listing requirements set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was granted 180 calendar days from November 6, 2024 to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of the Company’s common stock of at least $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days.
On May 6, 2025, the Company received a formal notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company is eligible for an additional one hundred eighty calendar day period, through November 3, 2025, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. The second compliance period was granted as the Company continues to meet all other applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, other than the bid price rule. In accordance with the Nasdaq rules, the Company has indicated its intention to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance within the second compliance period.
If at any time during this second compliance period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock meets or exceeds $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
Even though there is no assurance, we believe that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement for continued listing through appreciation of our securities. In the event we are not able to require compliance on our own, the Board of Directors has been given discretion by the Company’s shareholders, at the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting of the shareholders held on November 19, 2024 (the “AGM”), to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock.
Although the Nasdaq notification letter described above has no immediate effect on our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are working on implementing plans to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement. If we are unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement, it could have a material adverse effect on our business. If our Common Stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, it could materially reduce the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our Common Stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. If our Common Stock is delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell our Common Stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of our common stock could suffer a material decline.
Recent Developments
At the Company’s November 19, 2024 AGM, the shareholders approved the issuance of an aggregate of 9,748,252 shares of Common Stock pursuant to certain Common Stock Purchase Warrants issued in connection with a September 26, 2024 warrant inducement between the Company and one holder of the Company’s outstanding warrants. These shares have been registered for resale on the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 as amended (No. 333-282859).

Each share of Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrant will be sold together with one Common Warrant. | |
|
|
|
Per share offering price | $0.70 per share. | |
|
|
|
Pre-Funded Warrants |
| We are offering to purchasers whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the closing of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if such purchasers so choose, Pre-Funded Warrants, in lieu of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise result in any such purchaser’s beneficial ownership, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of such purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is equal to the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock in this offering minus $0.0001, the exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until it has been exercised in full. For each Pre-Funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of Common Stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. This offering also relates to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering. |
Shares of Common Stock to be outstanding after this offering | Up to 33,973,833 shares of Common Stock assuming no sales of Pre-Funded Warrants which, if sold, would reduce the number of shares of Common Stock that we are offering on a one-for-one basis. | |
Common Warrants | Each share of Common Stock or Pre-Funded Warrant will be sold together with one Common Warrant. Each Common Warrant has an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the combined public offering price of shares and Common Warrants in this offering and expires on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. Each Common Warrant will be immediately exercisable at a fixed price upon issuance; provided, that if this offering is not deemed a public offering under Nasdaq rules or the Pricing Conditions are not met, the Common Warrants will only become exercisable on the effective date of the Warrant Stockholder Approval. Warrant Stockholder Approval would solely be required in order to comply with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635, in the event of the issuance in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock when an offering is not deemed a public offering by Nasdaq or if the following Pricing Conditions are not met. Because we will issue a Common Warrant for each share of Common Stock and each Pre-Funded Warrant sold in this offering, the number of Common Warrants sold in this offering will not change as a result of a change in the mix of shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants sold. This offering also relates to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Common Warrants sold in this offering. | |
Prior Warrant Amendments |
| In connection with this offering, we may enter into privately negotiated agreements with the holders of certain existing outstanding warrants to purchase up to 12,926,506 shares of our common stock (the “Prior Warrants”) to, among other things, reduce the exercise price of such Prior Warrants to that of the Common Warrants being offered and sold in this offering and to extend the current expiration date of the Prior Warrants to the expiration date of the Common Warrants being offered and sold in this offering. |

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below as well as other information we include in this prospectus. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the market price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
Risks Related to This Offering
Resales of our shares of Common Stock in the public market by our shareholders as a result of this Offering may cause the market price of our shares of Common Stock to fall.
We are registering up to 10,714,286 shares of Common Stock, as well as up to 10,714,286 shares of Common Stock, in the aggregate, issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants offered under this prospectus. Sales of substantial amounts of our shares of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock. The issuance of new shares of Common Stock could result in resales of our shares of Common Stock by our current shareholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our stock price to decline.
If the Nasdaq Capital Market determines that this offering does not qualify as a public offering or Nasdaq’s Pricing Conditions and not met, each as defined under Nasdaq’s rules, we will be required to seek shareholder approval rule for the exercisability of warrants issued in this offering, which may make it more difficult to obtain financing from investors.
The continued listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market depends on our compliance with the requirements for continued listing under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, including, but not limited to, Marketplace Rule 5635, or the shareholder approval rule. The shareholder approval rule prohibits the issuance of shares of common stock (or derivatives) in excess of 20% of our outstanding shares of common stock without shareholder approval, unless those shares are sold at a price that equals or exceeds the Nasdaq “minimum price,” as defined in the shareholder approval rule, or in what Nasdaq deems a “public offering,” as defined in the shareholder approval rule. The securities sold in this offering may be sold at a discount to the “minimum price,” in which event, this offering would need to constitute a “public offering” to comply with Marketplace Rule 5635 or we would be required to obtain shareholder approval for the exercisability of warrants issued in this offering. Although we plan to conduct this offering as a “public offering,” which is a qualitative analysis based on several factors as determined by Nasdaq, including by broadly marketing and offering these securities in an underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act, Nasdaq may determine after the offering that the offering did not constitute a “public offering.” The Warrants are immediately exercisable at a fixed price. However, if Nasdaq determines stockholder approval is required in order to be in compliance with its 20% shareholder approval rule, we would be required to make the exercisability of warrants issued in this offering contingent on the receipt of shareholder approval. Requiring the receipt of shareholder approval for the exercise of such warrants would delay when the warrants could first be exercised and would create uncertainty as to whether and when the warrants would be able to be exercised by investors. Accordingly, investors may be less likely to invest in our securities in this offering if the exercisability of such warrants is subject to shareholder approval. We may also be required to call a special meeting of shareholders that will require the attention of our management away from operations and would cause us to incur additional expenses for holding a shareholder meeting.
This offering may cause the trading price of our shares of Common Stock to decrease.
The price per share, together with the number of shares of Common Stock we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our shares. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our shares of Common Stock that could result in further dilution to investors purchasing our shares in this offering or result in downward pressure on the price of our shares of Common Stock. We may sell shares of Common Stock or other securities in any other offering at prices that are higher or lower than the prices paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
We have not designated any portion of the net proceeds from this offering to be used for any particular purpose. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering including acquiring certain cryptocurrencies in connection with execution of a potential treasury strategy currently under consideration by management and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of commencement of this offering. As of June 2 2025, Grigorios Siokas, our Chief Executive Officer, owned 6,158,883 shares of common stock (approximately 21% of outstanding shares) and 22.87% beneficially owned upon conversion of his derivative securities, which may give him the ability to control matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for our company. Our management’s judgment may not result in positive returns on your investment and you will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information upon which our management bases its decisions.

This is a reasonable best efforts offering, in which no minimum number or dollar amount of securities is required to be sold, and we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our business plans.
The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the securities in this offering. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this offering, and there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated. Even if we sell securities offered hereby, because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount is not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth above. We may sell fewer than all of the securities offered hereby, which may significantly reduce the amount of proceeds received by us. Thus, we may not raise the amount of capital we believe is required for our operations in the short-term and may need to raise additional funds, which may not be available or available on terms acceptable to us.
We will need to raise additional funding to fund our working capital needs or consummate potential future acquisitions. Additional financing may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain additional capital may force us to limit or terminate our operations.
Even if we sell all securities offered hereby, the expected net proceeds of this offering may not be sufficient for us to fund the working capital needs of our business or potential strategic acquisitions we may pursue in the future. Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, as described in the risk factor below:
Assuming that we receive a minimum of $7,500,000 of proceeds from this offering, we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our cash on hand, will satisfy our capital needs for six months under our current business plan and assuming that we receive $3,750,000 of proceeds from this offering, we believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our cash on hand, will satisfy our capital needs 12 months under our current business plan. Following this offering, we may continue to seek funds through equity or debt financings, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources, or through other sources of financing. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies.
Investors who purchase our securities in this offering pursuant to a securities purchase agreement may have rights not available to purchasers that purchase without the benefit of a securities purchase agreement.
In addition to rights and remedies available to all purchasers in this offering under federal securities and state law, the purchasers that enter into a securities purchase agreement will also be able to bring claims of breach of contract against us. The ability to pursue a claim for breach of contract provides those investors with the means to enforce the covenants uniquely available to them under the securities purchase agreement including: (i) timely delivery of shares; (ii) agreement to not enter into variable rate financings for one year from closing, subject to certain exceptions; (iii) agreement to not enter into any financings for 60 days from closing; and (iv) indemnification for breach of contract.
Our stock price may be volatile and investors could incur substantial losses.
The market price of our Common Stock has been and may continue to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
| · | our ability to execute our business plan and complete prospective acquisitions; |
|
|
|
| · | changes in the nutraceutical & pharmaceutical industries; |
|
|
|
| · | competitive pricing pressures; |
|
|
|
| · | our ability to obtain additional capital financing; |
|
|
|
| · | additions or departures of key personnel; |
|
|
|
| · | limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market price for our Common Stock; |
|
|
|
| · | sales of our Common Stock by existing shareholders, noteholders and warrant holders; |
|
|
|
| · | operating results that fall below expectations; |
|
|
|
| · | regulatory developments; |
|
|
|
| · | economic and other external factors; |
|
|
|
| · | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; |
|
|
|
| · | our inability to acquire pending acquisitions; |
|
|
|
| · | the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by us or third parties, including filings with the SEC; |
|
|
|
| · | changes in financial estimates or ratings by any securities analysts who follow our Common Stock, our failure to meet these estimates or failure of those analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of our Common Stock; and |
|
|
|
| · | the development and sustainability of an active trading market for our Common Stock. |

Table of Contents |
In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
Our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded, and the price may not reflect our value, and there can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of Common Stock either now or in the future.
Our shares of Common Stock are thinly traded, and the price may not reflect our actual or perceived value. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of Common Stock either now or in the future. The market liquidity will be dependent on the perception of our operating business, among other things. We will take certain steps to increase awareness of our business. There can be no assurance that there will be any awareness generated or the results of any efforts will result in any impact on our trading volume. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business, and trading may be at an inflated price relative to the performance of the Company due to, among other things, the availability of sellers of our shares. If an active market should develop, the price may be highly volatile. Because there is currently a relatively low per-share price for our Common Stock, many brokerage firms or clearing firms are not willing to effect transactions in the securities or accept our shares for deposit in an account. Many lending institutions will not permit the use of low-priced shares of Common Stock as collateral for any loans.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144, could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and, in anticipation of which, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for us to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
There is no public market for the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants being offered in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants will be limited.
Holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants will have no rights as holders of Common Stock until such warrants are exercised.
Until you acquire shares of Common Stock upon exercise of your Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants, you will have no rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of your Common Warrants. Upon exercise of your Pre-Funded Warrants or the Common Warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of shares only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are speculative in nature.
The Pre-Funded Warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of ownership of our shares of Common Stock on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing on the date of issuance, holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants may acquire shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $0.001 per share of Common Stock. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants is uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Pre-Funded Warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price.
11 |
Table of Contents |
The Common Warrants may not have any value.
Each Common Warrant has an exercise price per share equal to the public offering price of shares of Common Stock in this offering and expires on the fifth anniversary of its original issuance date. In the event the market price per our shares of Common Stock does not exceed the exercise price of the Common Warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the Common Warrants may not have any value.
Provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.
Certain provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Common Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Common Warrants. Further, the Common Warrants provide that, in the event of certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions,” with some exception, holders of such warrants will have the right, at their option, to require us to redeem such Common Warrants at a price described in such warrants. These and other provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.
Risks Related to Our Potential Use of Proceeds in Digital Assets and the Development of a Crypto Treasury Platform
We may use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering to invest in digital assets, including the development and operation of a crypto treasury platform. This strategy exposes us to numerous risks, including technological, operational, financial, regulatory, and reputational risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The development and deployment of a crypto treasury platform would require significant investments in technical infrastructure, cybersecurity controls, and specialized personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully build or implement such a platform, or that it will operate as intended. Any technological failure, security breach, or inability to execute transactions accurately or in a timely manner could result in the loss or theft of digital assets and damage our reputation. Moreover, the market for digital assets is highly volatile, and prices can fluctuate dramatically over short periods of time. Investments in cryptocurrencies or other digital tokens may experience significant losses, and there is no assurance that such investments will generate any return. Our financial results could be materially impacted by unfavorable price movements or impairments of digital assets held on our balance sheet. The regulatory framework governing digital assets and blockchain technologies is rapidly evolving and subject to significant uncertainty. Regulatory authorities in the United States and in other jurisdictions may adopt new laws or regulations or issue new guidance that restricts or limits our ability to invest in, hold, transfer, or use digital assets. Any such developments could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or utility of our digital asset holdings or our ability to operate a crypto treasury platform. Additionally, our involvement in digital asset markets may expose us to heightened scrutiny from investors, financial institutions, and regulators, and may pose reputational risks, particularly in the event of market disruptions, fraud, or association with counterparties that engage in unethical or unlawful behavior. As a result, any decision to allocate a portion of the offering proceeds toward crypto-related investments involves substantial risk and uncertainty, and there is no guarantee that such use of proceeds will achieve its intended strategic or financial objectives.
Risks Related to Our Business

Additionally, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had positive working capital of $1,259,012 and negative working capital of $296,193, respectively, an accumulated deficit of $114,840,372 and $114,022,275, respectively, and stockholders’ equity of $25,951,712 and $24,532,929, respectively. We have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and the issuance of convertible debt securities. There can be no assurance we will not have losses and negative cash flows in the near future as we continue to grow. Therefore, there is a significant risk that public investors may lose some or all of their investment.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
Our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, set forth below, the continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability to raise adequate equity or debt financing, to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and for the year ended December 31, 2024. If that were to occur the Company would be forced to suspend or terminate operations and, in all likelihood, cause investors to lose their entire investment.
We have a limited operating history, with substantial losses and no guarantee of continued profitability.
The Company has an evolving operating history upon which an evaluation of its prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a new business in the evolving and heavily-regulated pharmaceuticals industry, which is characterized by an ever-increasing number of market entrants, intense competition and high failure rate. In addition, significant challenges are often encountered in shifting from developmental to commercial activities.
We are subject to many business risks, including but not limited to, unforeseen capital requirements, failure of market acceptance, failure to establish business relationships, and competitive disadvantages against larger and more established companies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be profitable, or that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds to continue its planned activities. Therefore, prospective investors may lose all or a portion of their investment.

Our revenues are concentrated in the distribution and sale of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, OTC medications and medical devices. When these markets experience a downturn, demand for our products and revenues may be adversely affected.
Our business and revenues, depend on favorable conditions in the markets for branded and generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, OTC medications and medical devices. Adverse changes in the economies where we sell our products, such as economic downturns, inflation, decreased employment levels, and reductions in consumer confidence could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and results of operation.
If we lose the services of our Chief Executive Officer, our operations would be disrupted and our business could be harmed.
Our business plan relies significantly on the continued services of our CEO, Grigorios Siokas. The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Siokas, dated as of January 1, 2023, which is automatically renewed annually. However, there is no guarantee that he will continue to remain in that position. If he were not to remain in the position and we were to lose his services, including for death or disability, our ability to continue to execute our business plan would be materially impaired.
We do not have the financial resources necessary to successfully complete product development, marketing and certain acquisitions.
As of March 31, 2025, we had net cash of $742,881. In order to complete product development, marketing and certain acquisitions, we are attempting to obtain sufficient additional capital including this offering. Even if we do find such financing, it may be on terms that are unfavorable or dilutive, to owners of the Company’s equity securities.
Our drug development program will require substantial additional capital to successfully complete it.
To complete our drug development program, we anticipate incurring substantial costs for:
| · | complete research, preclinical testing and human studies; |
| · | establish pilot scale and commercial scale manufacturing processes; and |
| · | establish and develop quality control, regulatory, marketing, sales and administrative capabilities to support these programs. |
Our future operating and capital needs will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:
| · | the pace of scientific progress in our research and development programs and the magnitude of these programs; |
| · | the scope and results of preclinical testing and human studies; |
| · | the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals; |
| · | the time and costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims; |
| · | competing technological and market developments; |
| · | our ability to establish additional collaborations; |
| · | changes in our existing collaborations; and |
| · | the cost of manufacturing scale-up. |
We base our outlook regarding the need for funds on many uncertain variables. Such uncertainties include regulatory approvals, the timing of events outside our direct control such as negotiations with potential strategic partners and other factors. Any of these uncertain events can significantly change our cash requirements as they determine such one-time events as the achievement of major milestones and other payments.
We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital, when required, or on acceptable terms, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or the commercialization of one or more of our product candidates. Accordingly, any failure to raise adequate capital in a timely manner would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and future growth prospects.

Additional funds are required to support our operations but we may be unable to obtain them on favorable terms, we would be required to cease or reduce further development or commercialization of our potential products.
Our success is highly dependent on attracting and retaining key scientific and management personnel, however, we may be unable to do so.
Our future depends on the service of our scientific and management teams and other key personnel. We may be unable to attract highly qualified personnel, especially if are not able to demonstrate to those individuals that we have sufficient funding to adequately compensate them either through current cash salary or with equity that could eventually have substantial value. If we are not able to attract highly qualified individuals, we may be unable to continue development or commercialization efforts of our proposed products which would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
We are subject to various regulations and compliance requirements under both the European Union, the European Medicines Agency (the “EMA”), the Hellenic Ministry of Health and other related regulatory agencies.
We believe that the health care industry will continue to be subject to increasing regulation, as well as political and legal action, as future proposals to reform the health care system are considered by the European Union, the United Kingdom, and the Hellenic Republic of Greece. Our services and products are subject to rigorous regulation by the EMA, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and the Hellenic Organization of Medicine. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals to market a drug or medical device can be costly and time-consuming, and approvals might not be granted for future products, or additional indications or uses of existing products, on a timely basis, if at all. Delays in the receipt of, or failure to obtain approvals for, future products, or new indications and uses, could result in delayed realization of product revenues, reduction in revenues, and in substantial additional costs. In addition, no assurance can be given that we will remain in compliance with European Union, MHRA, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and other regulatory requirements if and when approval or marketing authorization has been obtained for a product. Regulatory requirements include, among other things, regulations regarding manufacturing practices, product labeling, and advertising and post marketing reporting, including adverse event reports and field alerts due to manufacturing quality concerns. Many of our facilities and procedures and those of our suppliers are subject to ongoing regulation, including periodic inspection by the applicable regulatory authorities. We must incur expense and spend time and effort to ensure compliance with these complex regulations. Possible regulatory actions for non-compliance could include warning letters, fines, damages, injunctions, civil penalties, recalls, seizures of our products, and criminal prosecution. These actions could result in, among other things, substantial modifications to our business practices and operations; refunds, recalls, or seizures of our products; a total or partial shutdown of production in one or more of our facilities while we or our suppliers remedy the alleged violation; the inability to obtain future pre-market approvals or marketing authorizations; and withdrawals or suspensions of current products from the market. Any of these events could disrupt our business and have a material adverse effect on our revenues, profitability and financial condition.
Any future acquisitions that we may make could disrupt our business, cause dilution to our stockholders and harm our business, financial condition or operating results.
Any future acquisitions that we may make could subject us to a number of risks, including, but not limited to:
| · | the purchase price we pay and/or unanticipated costs could significantly deplete our cash reserves or result in increased indebtedness and/or dilution to our existing stockholders; |
| · | we may find that the acquired company or technologies do not improve our market position as planned; |
| · | we may have difficulty integrating the operations and personnel of the acquired company, as the combined operations will place significant demands on the Company’s management, technical, financial and other resources; |
| · | key personnel and customers of the acquired company may terminate their relationships with the acquired company as a result of the acquisition; |
| · | we may experience additional financial and accounting challenges and complexities in areas such as tax planning and financial reporting; |
| · | we may assume or be held liable for risks and liabilities (including environmental-related costs) as a result of our acquisitions, some of which we may not be able to discover during our due diligence investigation or adequately adjust for in our acquisition arrangements; |
| · | our ongoing business and management’s attention may be disrupted or diverted by transition or integration issues and the complexity of managing geographically or culturally diverse enterprises; |
| · | we may incur one-time write-offs or restructuring charges in connection with the acquisition; |
| · | we may acquire goodwill and other intangible assets that are subject to amortization or impairment tests, which could result in future charges to earnings; and |
| · | we may not be able to realize the cost savings or other financial benefits we anticipated. |

We cannot assure you that, following any acquisition, we will achieve sales levels, profitability, efficiencies or synergies that justify the acquisition, or that the acquisition will result in increased earnings for us in any future period. These factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We are exposed to potential product liability or similar claims, and insurance against these claims may not be available to us at a reasonable rate in the future.
Our business exposes us to potential product liability related to our business of marketing distribution of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, OTC medications and medical devices. We currently carry product liability but we may not be able to maintain such insurance or the amount of such insurance may not be adequate to cover claims. We could be materially and adversely affected if we were required to pay damages or incur defense costs in connection with a claim outside the scope of insurance coverage or if our liability exceeds the amount of applicable insurance. In addition, insurance may not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all, or if obtained, the insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover any potential claims or liabilities. Similar risks, but with larger potential liability amounts, would exist upon the commercialization or marketing of any products by our collaborators or us.
Regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:
| · | decreased demand for our products; |
| · | injury to our reputation and significant negative media attention; |
| · | costs of litigation; |
| · | distraction of management; and |
| · | substantial monetary awards to plaintiffs. |
Should any of these events occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our reputation and financial condition.
Discovery of safety issues with our products could create product liability and could cause additional regulatory scrutiny and requirements for additional labeling, withdrawal of products from the market, and the imposition of fines or criminal penalties.
Discovery of safety issues with our products could create product liability and could cause additional regulatory scrutiny and requirements for additional labeling, withdrawal of products from the market, and the imposition of fines or criminal penalties. Adverse safety events may also damage physician and patient confidence in our products and our reputation. Any of these could result in liabilities, loss of revenue, material write-offs of inventory, material impairments of intangible assets, goodwill and fixed assets, material restructuring charges and other adverse impacts on our results of operations. Regulatory authorities are making greater amounts of stand-alone safety information directly available to the public through periodic safety update reports, patient registries and other reporting requirements. The reporting of adverse safety events involving our products or products similar to ours and public rumors about such events may increase claims against us and may also cause our product sales or stock price to decline or experience periods of volatility. Restrictions on use or significant safety warnings that may be required to be included in the label of our products may significantly reduce expected revenues for such products and require significant expense and management time.

We are subject to anti-corruption laws.
We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar anti-corruption laws in other European Union countries, including Greece. These laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from engaging in bribery or making other prohibited payments to government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, and some have record keeping requirements. The failure to comply with these laws could result in substantial criminal and/or monetary penalties. We operate in jurisdictions that have experienced corruption, bribery, pay-offs and other similar practices from time-to-time and, in certain circumstances, such practices may be local custom. We have implemented internal control policies and procedures that mandate compliance with these anti-corruption laws. However, we cannot be certain that these policies and procedures will protect us against liability. There can be no assurance that our employees or other agents will not engage in such conduct for which we might be held responsible. If our employees or agents are found to have engaged in such practices, we could suffer severe criminal or civil penalties and other consequences that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
We may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for new products.
Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval has been and will continue to be increasingly difficult, time-consuming and costly. There may be situations in which demonstrating the efficacy and safety of a product candidate may not be sufficient to gain regulatory approval unless superiority to comparative products can be shown. Also, legislative bodies or regulatory agencies could enact new laws or regulations or change existing laws or regulations at any time, which could affect our ability to obtain or maintain approval of our products or product candidates. For example, the EU has finalized legislation, which relate to the conduct of clinical trials. While the aim of the new legislation is improvement in operational efficiency and a streamlining of the overall clinical trial authorization process, the new requirements also provide for increased transparency of clinical trial results and submission of quality data relating to the products and product candidates used for such trials. Failure to comply with new laws or regulations could result in significant monetary penalties as well as reputational and other harms. We are unable to predict when and whether any further changes to laws or regulatory policies affecting our business could occur, such as efforts to reform medical device regulation or the pedigree requirements for medical products or to implement new requirements for combination products, and whether such changes could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Regulatory authorities may also question the sufficiency for approval of the endpoints we select for our clinical trials. Regulatory authorities could also add new requirements, such as the completion of an outcomes study or a meaningful portion of an outcomes study, as conditions for obtaining approval or obtaining an indication. The imposition of additional requirements may delay our clinical development and regulatory filing efforts, and delay or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval for new product candidates, new indications for existing products or maintenance of our current labels.
Difficulty in developing new products.
We believe, based on our knowledge of the industry that our future strategy relies on the acquisition of new operating subsidiaries and the subsequent launch of new products and technologies. To accomplish this, we may need to commit substantial efforts, funds, and other resources to research and development. A high rate of failure is inherent in the research and development of new products and technologies. Failure can occur at any point in the process, including after significant funds have been invested. We cannot state with certainty when or whether any of our products will be developed and/or launched, whether we will be able to develop, license, or otherwise acquire compounds or products, or whether any products will be commercially successful.
We face significant competition, including competition from larger and better funded enterprises.
Our pharmaceutical businesses are conducted in intensely competitive and often highly regulated markets. Many of our pharmaceutical products face competition in the form of branded or generic drugs that treat similar diseases or indications. Our competitors include other trading companies, smaller companies, with generic drug and consumer healthcare products. We compete with other companies that manufacture and sell products that treat diseases or indications similar to those treated by our trading pharmaceutical products.
16 |
Table of Contents |
Our competitive position in pharmaceutical sector is affected by several factors including among others, the amount and effectiveness of our and our competitors’ promotional resources; customer acceptance; product quality; our and our competitors’ introduction of new products, ingredients, claims, dosage forms, or other forms of innovation; and pricing, regulatory and legislative matters (such as product labeling, patient access and prescription).
The branded pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. Our products compete with products manufactured by many other companies in highly competitive markets throughout the EU territory and internationally as well. Competitors include many of the major brand name and generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both.
In the generic pharmaceutical market, we might face intense competition from other generic drug manufacturers, brand name pharmaceutical companies, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs.
Newly introduced generic products with limited or no other generic competition typically garner higher prices. At the expiration of the exclusivity period, other generic distributors may enter the market, resulting in a significant price decline for the drug. Consequently, the maintenance of profitable operations in generic pharmaceuticals depends, in part, on our ability to select, develop and launch new generic products in a timely and cost-efficient manner and to maintain efficient, high quality business capabilities.
Our own branded nutraceutical products compete in the nutritional industry against companies that sell through retail stores, as well as against other direct selling companies. We compete against manufacturers and retailers of nutraceutical products which are distributed through supermarkets, drug stores, health food stores, vitamin outlets and mass market retailers, among others. We believe that the principal components of competition in nutraceutical products are expertise and service, high product quality, diversification and differentiation, price, and brand recognition.
Operating conditions have become more challenging under the mounting global pressures of competition, industry regulation and cost containment. We continue to take measures to evaluate, adapt and improve our organization and business practices to better meet customer and public needs. We also seek to continually enhance the organizational effectiveness of all of our functions, including efforts to accurately and ethically launch and promote our products.
If we are not able to overcome these competitive challenges, our prospects, results of operations, and financial condition could be harmed.
Concentration of suppliers and production.
A substantial portion of our capacity, as well as our current production, is attributable to a limited number of manufacturing facilities and certain third-party suppliers. A significant disruption at any one of such facilities within our internal or third party supply chain, even on a short-term basis, whether due to a labor strike, failure to reach acceptable agreement with labor and unions, adverse quality or compliance observation, infringement of intellectual property rights, act of God, civil or political unrest, export or import restrictions, or other events could impair our ability to trade, produce and ship products to the market on a timely basis and could, among other consequences, subject us to exposure to claims from customers. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
The Company is subject to market perceptions.
Market perceptions of us are very important to our business, especially market perceptions of our Company and brands and the safety and quality of our products. If we, our partners and suppliers, or our brands suffer from negative publicity, or if any of our products or similar products which other companies distribute are subject to market withdrawal or recall or are proven to be, or are claimed to be, ineffective or harmful to consumers, then this could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price. Also, because we are dependent on market perceptions, negative publicity associated with product quality, patient illness, or other adverse effects resulting from, or perceived to be resulting from, our products, or our partners’ and suppliers’ manufacturing facilities, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.

International risks.
Our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Sales outside of the U.S. make up 100% percentage of our net sales. Additional risks associated with our international operations include: differing local product preferences and product requirements; trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements; difficulty in establishing, staffing, and managing operations; differing labor regulations; potentially negative consequences from changes in or interpretations of tax laws; political and economic instability, including sovereign debt issues; price controls, limitations on participation in local enterprises, expropriation, nationalization, and other governmental action; inflation, recession, and fluctuations in interest rates; compulsory licensing or diminished protection of intellectual property; and potential penalties or other adverse consequences for violations of the General Data Protection Rules (“GDPR”) and anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and other similar laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act. Events contemplated by these risks may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our revenues and profitability.
International economic conditions.
Criticism of excessive national debt of Greece has led to credit downgrades of the sovereign debt of Greece, and uncertainty about the future status of the Euro. Destabilization of the European economy could lead to a decrease in consumer confidence, which could cause reductions in discretionary spending and demand for our subsidiaries’ products. Furthermore, sovereign debt issues could also lead to further significant, and potentially longer-term, economic issues, such as reduced economic growth and devaluation of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar, any of which could adversely affect our and each of our subsidiaries’ business, financial condition and operating results.
Our international operations could be affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine, currency fluctuations, capital and exchange controls, expropriation and other restrictive government actions, changes in intellectual property legal protections and remedies, trade regulations and procedures and actions affecting approval, production, pricing, and marketing of, reimbursement for and access to our products, as well as by political unrest, unstable governments and legal systems and inter-governmental disputes. Any of these changes could adversely affect our business.
Market disruptions, supply-chain disruptions, geopolitical conflicts, including acts of war, macroeconomic events, and inflation, could create market volatility that could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.
Various social and political tensions in the United States and around the world may contribute to increased market volatility, may have long-term effects on the U.S. and worldwide markets and may cause further economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide.
The occurrence of events similar to those in recent years, such as the war in Ukraine, instability, new and ongoing pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases in certain parts of the world, natural/environmental disasters, supply-chain disruptions, terrorist attacks in the United States and around the world, social and political discord, increasingly strained relations between the United States and a number of foreign countries, new and continued political unrest in various countries, continued changes in the balance of political power among and within the branches of the U.S. Government, government shutdowns, among others, may result in market volatility, may have long term effects on the U.S. and worldwide financial markets, and may cause further economic uncertainties in the United States and worldwide.

The Effects of War in the Ukraine.
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine. There continues to be sustained conflict and disruption in the region, which is expected to endure for the foreseeable future. We do not conduct any commercial transactions with either Ukraine or Russia and the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of this prospectus. Such political issues and conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if they escalate in areas in which we do business. In addition, changes in and adverse actions by governments in foreign markets in which we do business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We will continue monitoring the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in Ukraine and Russia, and will consider further actions as appropriate.
Conversion to Euros and GBP.
Although we report our financial results in U.S. Dollars, a significant portion of our revenues, indebtedness and other liabilities and our costs are denominated in Euros and GBP. Our results of operations and, in some cases, cash flows, have in the past been and may in the future be adversely affected by certain movements in currency exchange rates. In particular, the risk of a debt default by one or more European countries and related European or national financial restructuring efforts may cause volatility in the value of the Euro. Defaults or restructurings in other countries could have a similar adverse impact. From time to time, we may implement currency hedges intended to reduce our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, our hedging strategies may not be successful, and any of our unhedged foreign exchange exposures will continue to be subject to market fluctuations. The occurrence of any of the above risks could cause a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and/or share price.
We may not be able to defend or protect our intellectual property.
We do not hold any patents at this time and we rely on trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information. We seek to protect this information, in part, through the use of confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants, advisors and others. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that those agreements will provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information and prevent their unauthorized use or disclosure. While we are not aware of any challenges to our intellectual property, if any patents are issued to us litigation may ensue. There is also the risk that our employees, consultants, advisors or others will not maintain confidentiality of such trade secrets or proprietary information, or that this information may become known in some other way or be independently developed by the Company’s competitors.
We may be sued by third parties who claim that our products infringe on their intellectual property rights.
We may be exposed to future litigation by third parties based on claims that our products or activities infringe on their intellectual property rights or that we have misappropriated their trade secrets. Any litigation or claims against us, whether or not valid, could result in substantial costs, could place a significant strain on our financial and managerial resources, and could harm our reputation. In addition, intellectual property litigation or claims could force us to do one or more of the following, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us, our results of operations and could cause us to curtail or cease its operations:
| · | Cease testing, developing, using and/or commercializing products that it may develop; or |
| · | Obtain a license from the holder of the infringed intellectual property right, which could also be costly or may not be available on reasonable terms. |

We may be subject to damages resulting from claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers.
We may be subject to litigation and damages resulting from claims that we or our employees have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their former employers. Although no claims against us are currently pending or threatened, we may be subject to claims that our employees or we have inadvertently or otherwise used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of former employers of our employees. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. Even if we are successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. If we fail in defending such claims, in addition to paying money claims, we may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. A loss of key research personnel or their work product could hamper or prevent our ability to commercialize certain product candidates, which could severely harm our business.
Governmental and third-party payors may impose sales and pharmaceutical pricing restrictions or controls on our products that could limit our future product revenues and adversely affect profitability.
The commercial success of our products is substantially dependent on whether third-party reimbursement is available for the ordering of our products by the medical profession for use by their patients. Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations and other third-party payors may not cover or provide adequate payment for our products. They may not view our products as cost-effective and reimbursement may not be available to consumers or may not be sufficient to allow our products to be marketed on a competitive basis. Likewise, legislative or regulatory efforts to control or reduce health care costs or reform government health care programs could result in lower prices or rejection of our products. Changes in reimbursement policies or health care cost containment initiatives that limit or restrict reimbursement for our products may cause our revenue to decline.
The commercial success of our products will depend upon the degree of market acceptance of these products among physicians, patients, health care payors and the medical community.
Even if a product candidate is approved for sale by the appropriate regulatory authorities, physicians may not prescribe our product candidates, in which case we would not generate revenue or become profitable. Market acceptance by physicians, healthcare payors and patients will depend on a number of factors, including:
| · | acceptance by physicians and patients of each such product as a safe and effective treatment; |
| · | cost effectiveness; |
| · | adequate reimbursement by third parties; |
| · | potential advantages over alternative treatments; and |
| · | relative convenience and ease of administration. |
We are subject to critical accounting policies, and we may interpret or implement required policies incorrectly.
We follow generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for the United States in preparing our financial statements. As part of this work, we must make many estimates and judgments about future events. These affect the value of the assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses that we report in our financial statements. We believe these estimates and judgments are reasonable, and we make them in accordance with our accounting policies based on information available at the time. However, actual results could differ from our estimates, and this could require us to record adjustments to expenses or revenues that could be material to our financial position and results of operations in future periods.
Foreign currency risks.
Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and amounts included in the Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in comprehensive income (loss).

We are subject to evolving and complex tax regulations in the United States, United Kingdom, Greece and the European Union.
We are subject to evolving and complex tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Significant judgment is required for determining our tax liabilities, and our tax returns are periodically examined by various tax authorities. We believe that our accrual for tax contingencies is adequate for all open years based on past experience, interpretations of tax law, and judgments about potential actions by tax authorities; however, due to the complexity of tax contingencies, the ultimate resolution of any tax matters may result in payments greater or less than amounts accrued. Changes to the U.S. international tax laws could have a significant impact on our financial results. In addition, we may be affected by changes in tax laws, including tax rate changes, changes to the laws related to the remittance of foreign earnings (deferral), or other limitations impacting the U.S. tax treatment of foreign earnings, new tax laws, and revised tax law interpretations in domestic and foreign jurisdictions. This prospectus does not discuss any such tax legislation or the manner in which it might affect purchasers of our securities. We urge you to consult with your legal and tax advisors with respect to any such legislation and the potential tax consequences of investing in our securities.
Risks related to income taxes.
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes, ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position in our financial statements if, in management’s judgment, the position is not more-likely-then-not sustainable upon audit based on the position’s technical merits. This involves the identification of potential uncertain tax positions, the evaluation of applicable tax laws and an assessment of whether a liability for an uncertain tax position is necessary. We operate and are subject to audit in multiple taxing jurisdictions.
We record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of interest and other expense, respectively.
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of the U.S. net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in our parent, Cosmos Health Inc., which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the United Kingdom. The income tax assets and liabilities are not able to be netted. We therefore reserve the income tax assets applicable to the United States but recognize the income tax liabilities in Greece and the United Kingdom. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.
Our failure to remediate material weakness in our internal controls on a timely basis may result in our being deregistered by the SEC and delisted from Nasdaq.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the last reporting period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the following material weaknesses: (i) the Company’s lack of proper segregation of duties, and (ii) the Company’s internal control structure lacking of multiple levels of review and oversight and not having appropriate IT General Controls (ITGCs) for the applications used in the Financial Reporting process, caused by lack of design of relevant controls and overall IT risk management.

Management is in the process of remediating all material weaknesses present in our internal controls and plans to have completed the remediation by December 31, 2025. In the event we are unable to remediate our material weaknesses on a timely basis, this may result in our securities being deregistered by the SEC and delisted from Nasdaq.
Regarding the Company’s lack of proper segregation of duties, management is in the process of updating the organizational chart in order to reallocate roles among personnel and emphasize sharing the responsibilities of key business processes by distributing the discrete functions of these processes to multiple people and departments.
Regarding the Company’s internal control structure’s lack of multiple levels of review and oversight and not having appropriate ITGCs for the applications used in the Financial Reporting process, caused by lack of design of relevant controls and overall IT risk management, management is in the process of developing multiple levels of review based on job responsibilities and level of personnel. Furthermore, management is in the process of assessing a new financial reporting application that will be used by the Company and would be able to support, process financially relevant information, provide financially relevant reporting and house financially relevant interfaces and application controls in order for us to more efficiently establish ITGCs to a single and more reliable application.
On the other hand, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our Audit Committee is in the process of evaluating our existing controls and procedures, while communicating with the Management on quarterly basis.
Risks Related to Our Securities
Nevada anti-takeover law may discourage acquirers and eliminate potentially beneficial sale for our shareholders.
Provisions of our charter, bylaws, and Nevada law may make an acquisition of us or a change in our management more difficult.
Certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and By-laws that are in effect could discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that shareholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which you might otherwise receive a premium for your shares. These provisions also could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. Shareholders who wish to participate in these transactions may not have the opportunity to do so.
Furthermore, these provisions could prevent or frustrate attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our management. These provisions:
| · | allow the authorized number of directors to be changed only by resolution of our board of directors; |
| · | authorize our board of directors to issue without shareholder approval blank check preferred stock that, if issued, could operate as a “poison pill” to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer to prevent an acquisition that is not approved by our board of directors; |
| · | establish advance notice requirements for shareholder nominations to our board of directors or for shareholder proposals that can be acted on at shareholder meetings; |
| · | authorize the Board of Directors to amend the By-laws; |
| · | limit who may call shareholder meetings; and |
| · | require the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote in order to amend certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation. |

Section 78.438 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder, generally a person that together with its affiliates owns or within the last two years has owned 10% of voting stock, for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner, or falls within certain exemptions under the NRS. As a result of these provisions in our charter documents under Nevada law, the price investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock may be limited.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our Common Stock, and accordingly, shareholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.
We have not declared or paid any cash dividend on our Common Stock and do not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in shares of our Common Stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of our Common Stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our shareholders have purchased their shares.
In general, a non-affiliated person who has held restricted shares for a period of six months, under Rule 144, may sell into the market our Common Stock all of their shares, subject to the Company being current in its periodic reports filed with the SEC. An affiliate may sell an amount equal to the greater of 1% of the 29,241,742 outstanding shares as of June 2, 2025, or the average weekly number of shares sold on the Nasdaq Capital Market in the last four weeks prior to such sale. Such sales may be repeated once every three months, and any of the restricted shares may be sold by a non-affiliate without any restrictions after they have been held one year.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation grants the Board of Directors the power to designate and issue additional shares of preferred stock which may act as an anti-takeover device.
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation grants our Board of Directors authority to, without any action by our stockholders, designate and issue, from our authorized capital, shares in such classes or series as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences, and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of classes or series of preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of the common stock offered hereby. Our Board of Directors’ ability to designate and issue shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal. Further, the issuance of additional shares having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to the shares of common stock offered hereby. Any such issuances will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders and may dilute our book value.
Provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.
Certain provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Common Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Warrants. Further, the Common Warrants provide that, in the event of certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions,” with some exception, holders of such warrants will have the right, at their option, to require us to redeem such Common Warrants at a price described in such warrants. These and other provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.
On November 6, 2024, we received a notice from Nasdaq regarding the Company’s non-compliance with continued listing standards. On May 6, 2025, we received an additional notice from Nasdaq granting an extension of 180 days to regain compliance. If we fail to do so, our Common Stock could be delisted.
Pursuant to a non-compliance letter from Nasdaq dated November 6, 2024, the Company was notified that it failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement as one of the continued listing requirements set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was granted 180 calendar days from November 6, 2024 to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of the Company’s common stock of at least $1.00 per share for ten consecutive trading days.
On May 6, 2025, the Company received a formal notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, through November 3, 2025, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. The second compliance period was granted as the Company continues to meet all other applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, other than the bid price rule. In accordance with the Nasdaq rules, the Company has indicated its intention to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance within the second compliance period.
If at any time during this second compliance period the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock meets or exceeds $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.
Even though there is no assurance, we believe that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum Bid price on our own. However, if we are unsuccessful, a shareholder proposal (approved at the Company’s 2024 annual general meeting of the shareholders held on November 19, 2024) provides the Board of Directors with the discretion to effect a Reverse Stock Split, if necessary, which, management believes, will enable us to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Although the Nasdaq notification letter described above has no immediate effect on our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are working on implementing plans to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement.

Table of Contents |
If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s ongoing listing criteria or otherwise fails to comply with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing rules, including in connection with this offering, our Common Stock could be delisted. If our Common Stock is delisted by the Nasdaq Capital Market, our Common Stock may be eligible for quotation on an over-the-counter quotation system or on the pink sheets. Upon any such delisting, our Common Stock would become subject to the regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks described in the following risk factor. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our Common Stock and could limit the ability of stockholders to sell such securities in the secondary market. In such a case, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock or Warrants, and there can be no assurance that our Common Stock will be eligible for trading or quotation on any alternative exchanges or markets.
Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through public or private sales of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our Common Stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.
We may become subject to “penny stock” rules, which could damage our reputation and the ability of investors to sell their shares.
Stockholders should be aware that, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. These patterns include: control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and ales and false and misleading press releases; “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
Furthermore, the penny stock designation may adversely affect the development of any public market for our shares of Common Stock or, if such a market develops, its continuation. Broker-dealers are required to personally determine whether an investment in penny stock is suitable for customers. Penny stocks are securities (i) with a price of less than five dollars ($5.00) per share; (ii) that are not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; and (iii) of an issuer with net tangible assets less than $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average annual revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the last three years. Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 of the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account. Potential investors in our Common Stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be penny stock. Rule 15g-9 of the SEC requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor.
This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for the Company’s stockholders to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them.

The obligations associated with being a public company require significant resources and management attention, which may divert from our business operations.
We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that material information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We will need to hire additional financial reporting, internal controls and other financial personnel in order to enhance appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. As a result, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert management’s attention from implementing our growth strategy, which could prevent us from improving our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have made, and will continue to make, changes to our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting and accounting systems to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. However, the measures we take may not be sufficient to satisfy our obligations as a public company. In addition, we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur in order to comply with these requirements. We anticipate that these costs will materially increase our selling, general and administrative expenses.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the implementation of the necessary procedures and practices related to internal control over financial reporting, we may identify deficiencies. Additionally, in the event we are no longer a smaller reporting company, as defined under the Exchange Act, and we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, then we may not be able to obtain the independent registered public accountants’ certifications required by that act, which may preclude us from keeping our filings with the SEC current, and interfere with the ability of investors to trade our securities and our shares to continue to be listed on Nasdaq.
If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our reputation and adversely impact the trading price of our Common Stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, we may not be able to manage our business as effectively as we would if an effective control environment existed, and our business and reputation with investors may be harmed. With each prospective acquisition we may make we will conduct whatever due diligence is necessary or prudent to assure us that the acquisition target can comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Notwithstanding our diligence, certain internal controls deficiencies may not be detected. As a result, any internal control deficiencies may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and access to capital. We have not performed an in-depth analysis to determine if historical undiscovered failures of internal controls exist, and may, in the future, discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement.
Public company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers and directors.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and rules implemented by the SEC have required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. As a public company, these rules and regulations increase our compliance costs and make certain activities more time-consuming and costly. As a public company, these rules and regulations make it more difficult and expensive for us to obtain such insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors or as executive officers, and to maintain insurance at reasonable rates, or at all.

There may be future sales or other dilution of our equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.
We are generally not restricted from issuing additional Common Stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock could decline as a result of sales of Common Stock or securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Common Stock after this offering or the perception that such sales could occur.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they change their recommendations regarding our stock adversely, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Common Stock relies in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about us and our business. We do not control these analysts. The price of our Common Stock could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade our Common Stock or if they issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us or our business.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $6,900,000 million from the maximum offering, after deducting the placement agent fee and estimated offering expenses payable by us and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the subsequent exercise of the Common Warrants. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to support the Company’s acquisition of cryptocurrencies in connection with the execution of a digital asset treasury strategy as well as for working capital purposes. Under this initiative, the Company will, subject to certain limitations, allocate a significant portion of the proceeds received from the sale of any shares under the offering to the purchasing, long-term holding, and staking of specific cryptocurrencies. The Company will review the makeup of its assets on a quarterly basis, and will dispose of cryptocurrencies, as necessary, to ensure compliance with the foregoing limitations at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company will also not purchase S cryptocurrencies that would result in any violation of any fiduciary obligations of the Company’s Board or that would result in the Company becoming Insolvent. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay certain outstanding convertible notes. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any of such purposes.
Because this is a best efforts offering and there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the actual offering amount, the placement agent’s fees and net proceeds to us are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.
This expected use of net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash and cash equivalents represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering; we have no current agreements, commitments or understandings for any material acquisitions or licenses of any products, businesses or technologies that are definitive or probable to close.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any cash dividends to date, nor does the Company anticipate paying such dividends for the foreseeable future. Rather, future earnings, if any, will be used to finance the expansion of our business. Any potential future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our accumulated deficit currently limits our ability to pay dividends.

DILUTION
If you invest in our shares of Common Stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the completion of this offering. Net tangible book value per share is calculated by subtracting our total liabilities ($31,240,232) as of March 31, 2025 from our total tangible assets ($49,389,415) and dividing this amount by the 29,241,742 shares outstanding. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $18.1 million, or $0.62 per share.
After giving effect to the sale of shares of Common Stock in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $0.70 per share (assuming the sale of the maximum offering amount), and after deducting commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $25 million, or $0.63 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.01 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate decrease in net tangible book value of $0.07 per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

General Risks
Supply chain disruption is a growing concern for the European pharmaceutical industry as it increasingly looks to cut costs by relying on ‘emerging markets’, where standards can be lower in terms of compliance, ethics and health and safety. Our business depends on the timely supply of materials, services and related products to meet the demands of our customers, which depends, in part, on the timely delivery of materials and services from suppliers and contract manufacturers. Significant or sudden increases in demand for our products, as well as worldwide demand for the raw materials and services we require to manufacture and sell our products, may result in a shortage of such materials or may cause shipment delays due to transportation interruptions or capacity constraints. Such shortages or delays could adversely impact our suppliers’ ability to meet our demand requirements. Difficulties in obtaining sufficient and timely supply of materials or services can have an adverse impact on our manufacturing operations and our ability to meet customer demand.
We may also experience significant interruptions of our manufacturing operations, delays in our ability to deliver products, increased costs or customer order cancellations as a result of:
| • | the failure or inability to accurately forecast demand and obtain sufficient quantities of quality raw materials on a cost-effective basis; |
|
|
|
| • | volatility in the availability and cost of materials or services, including rising prices due to inflation; |
|
|
|
| • | difficulties or delays in obtaining required import or export approvals; |
|
|
|
| • | shipment delays due to transportation interruptions or capacity constraints, such as reduced availability of air or ground transport or port closures; |
|
|
|
| • | information technology or infrastructure failures, including those of a third-party supplier or service provider; and |
|
|
|
| • | natural disasters or other events beyond our control (such as earthquakes, utility interruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons, floods, storms or extreme weather conditions, fires, regional economic downturns, regional or global health epidemics, pandemics, geopolitical turmoil, increased trade restrictions between the U.S. and China and other countries, social unrest, political instability, terrorism, or acts of war) in locations where we or our customers or suppliers have manufacturing or other operations. |
Hikes in the price of medicine and their impact on the sustainability of the healthcare systems are garnering more and more attention. European regulators are willing to play their part in safeguarding continued access to safe and effective medicines. Regulators can speed up the approval of branded pharmaceuticals and biosimilars to boost competition and drive down prices.
Cuts in healthcare spending have been frequently occurring since the financial crises of the late of 2000’s. Europe’s slow recovery has been uneven, with austerity and economic uncertainty, especially in the EU’s poorer member states, such as Greece.
Distribution and Trade Agreements
On July 1, 2021, the Company’s subsidiary, SkyPharm SA, entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with a company based in Germany (“Distributor A”), whereas SkyPharm appointed Distributor A to be the responsible partner for the distribution, promotion, trade marketing, logistics and sale of the nutraceuticals manufactured and supplied by SkyPharm (Sky Premium Life®), in the territories of Austria and Germany. Distributor A places purchase orders with SkyPharm at the company’s address and a purchase order is necessary to initiate any shipment.
On July 7, 2021, SkyPharm SA signed a trade agreement with a company specializing in e-commerce mall advice and operation (“Distributor B”). Based on the agreement, SkyPharm sells its own branded products Sky Premium Life® to final consumers through the e-commerce store opened by Distributor B on Tmall International MALL and Distributor B provides platform operation services to SkyPharm. The services provided by Distributor B include mall construction, mall operation and network promotion, along with collection, settlement, customer service, logistics and distribution.
On November 25, 2021, SkyPharm SA signed a trade agreement with a wholesaler which operates in the storage, distribution, trading and promotion of pharmaceutical products (“Distributor C”). Based on the agreement, Distributor C is appointed as the exclusive representative for the promotion and distribution of our proprietary nutraceutical products Sky Premium Life® in Greece.
During July 2021, the Company’s subsidiary Decahedron Ltd created a distribution page on Amazon UK, through which it sells, advertises and promotes our own proprietary branded nutraceutical product line Sky Premium Life®, directly to final consumers.
On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with a third party in order to become the distributor of Monkeypox Virus Real-Time PCR Detection Kits. Cosmos has exclusive distribution rights for Greece and Cyprus, with the opportunity to distribute the test kits across Europe on a non-exclusive basis.

Cana's Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) license enables us to manufacture pharmaceuticals, including medicines, within the EU, which creates attractive opportunities for high-margin contract manufacturing agreements with major multinational clients.
Bikas
On June 15, 2023, Cosmos Health Inc. entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ioannis Bikas O.E., a Greek Company (“Bikas”). Bikas is owner of a pharmaceutical distribution network in Greece and agreed to sell the Company their distribution network and customer base. The purchase price of the network was €100,000 ($109,330) of cash, and €300,000 ($316,081) of the Company’s stock. The Company issued 99,710 shares of common stock related to the acquisition of the customer base, based on the fair value of the stock on the acquisition date. The Company accounted for the acquisition as an asset acquisition in accordance with ASC 805 and recorded $425,411 as an intangible asset related to the customer base acquired.
This acquisition positively impacted on our revenue (an increase of more than $10 million annually) and enhanced the Company's gross margins due to economies of scale. Additionally, synergies with Cosmofarm's state-of-the-art facility, which employs robotic technologies for procurement, inventory management, and order execution, provide an elevated level of service to pharmacies, leading to increased orders. We are pleased to announce that we have now successfully integrated Bikas within the Cosmofarm platform.
Cloudscreen

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 compared with three months ended March 31, 2024
Revenue and net loss
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported revenue of $13,712,528 and a net loss of $818,097, compared to revenue of $14,584,473 and a net loss of $1,866,690 for the corresponding period in 2024.
The decrease in net loss of approximately $1,048,593 is primarily attributable to a significant improvement in gross profit, driven by a shift in the Company’s revenue mix toward higher-margin product lines. In particular, the nutraceutical segment of our subsidiary, SkyPharm SA, recorded substantial growth during the period, contributing positively to overall gross profitability.
Revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, decreased by approximately 5.98% compared to the same period in 2024. This decline is predominantly due to unfavorable foreign exchange movements, specifically the depreciation of the euro against the U.S. dollar, which negatively impacted the translation of euro-denominated revenues. Additionally, a marginal decrease in sales from our wholesale subsidiary, Cosmofarm SA, contributed modestly to the overall revenue decline.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company reported cost of goods sold (“COGS”) of $11,662,729 and $13,250,847, respectively, representing a decrease of $1,588,118 or approximately 11.99%. This decrease in COGS is primarily attributable to a shift in the Company’s revenue mix toward higher-margin product lines, particularly the nutraceuticals segment, which generally carries lower direct costs relative to other product categories. The reduction in COGS is also broadly aligned with the overall decline in revenues during the same period, thus maintaining consistency in the Company’s cost structure relative to sales performance.
Our future revenue growth is expected to continue to be affected by various factors such as industry growth trends, including drug utilization, the introduction of new innovative brand therapies, the likely increase in the number of branded pharmaceutical products that will be available over the next few years’ price increases and price deflation, general economic conditions, including the effects of the current conflict in the Ukraine, competition within the industry, customer consolidation, changes in pharmaceutical manufacturer pricing and distribution policies and practices, increased downward pressure on government and other third party reimbursement rates to our customers, and changes in government rules and regulations.
Gross Profit
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company reported gross profit of $2,049,799, representing an increase of 53.7% compared to the same period in 2024. This significant improvement in gross profit is primarily attributable to a favorable shift in the Company’s revenue composition, with a greater proportion of sales generated from higher-margin product lines—most notably, those within the nutraceuticals segment. Additionally, the increase in gross profit corresponds with a reduction in COGS for the period, further reinforcing the positive impact of the evolving product mix on the Company’s margin performance.
Operating Expenses
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, total operating expenses amounted to $2,882,944, compared to $3,169,734 for the corresponding period in 2024, representing a decrease of $286,790, or approximately 9.05%. This decrease was primarily driven by reductions in personnel and marketing-related expenditure, as outlined below:
| • | Salaries and Wages: Personnel expenses decreased to $1,040,019 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1,258,179 in the prior-year period. This reduction reflects the impact of cost containment initiatives and a more efficient allocation of human resources. |
|
|
|
| • | Sales and Marketing Expenses: The Company recorded a significant decline in sales and marketing costs, particularly those associated with its branded nutraceutical portfolio. These expenses decreased by 83.78% compared to the first quarter of 2024, consistent with management’s strategic decision to temporarily scale back investment in brand promotion and advertising activities during the period under review. |
|
|
|
| • | Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively stable, amounting to $320,349 in the first quarter of 2025 versus $319,787 in the corresponding period of 2024. |
|
|
|
| • | General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative costs increased modestly to $1,478,702 in the current period, up $60,564 or 4.27% from $1,418,138 in the prior-year quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to professional service fees. |
Overall, the reduction in operating expenses reflects the Company’s continued focus on disciplined cost management while aligning spending with its strategic priorities.

Other Income (Expense)
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded other expense of $68,137, compared to other income of $191,824 for the same period in 2024. This represents a net unfavorable variance of $259,961, or 135.52% year-over-year. The variance is primarily attributable to the recognition of non-recurring charges and prior-period adjustments during the current period, which were not present in the comparative quarter. These one-off items had a material impact on the classification of other income and expense, thereby reversing the net favorable position recorded in the prior year.
Interest Income & Expenses
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, interest expense totaled $187,107, representing an increase of $18,435, or 10.93%, compared to $168,672 for the prior period ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by new debt facilities, entered into by our subsidiary Cosmofarm SA.
Interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, was $91,326, reflecting a decrease of $14,439, or 13.65%, compared to $105,765 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. This decline was primarily due to the receipt of loan repayments during 2024, which reduced outstanding loan receivable balances and, consequently, interest earned on them.
Foreign currency translation adjustment, net
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $1,031,268, compared to a loss of $599,276 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The improvement is partially attributable to favorable movements in foreign exchange rates during the current reporting period, which positively impacted the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries. It should be noted that during the year 2024, the Company’s Parent, Cosmos Health Inc., executed a share capital increase of €18,400,000 ($20,345,432) in favor of its subsidiary, SkyPharm SA. This transaction had a substantial adverse impact on the accumulated comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2024, due to the nature of foreign currency translation under ASC 830, where equity-related transactions are translated using historical exchange rates. The exchange rate applied at the time of the capital contribution was less favorable than the year-end rate, leading to a significant unrealized currency loss on intercompany balances that is reflected in other comprehensive income. The combined effect of these factors contributed to the period-over-period fluctuation in the foreign currency translation adjustment recognized in other comprehensive income.
Year ended December 31, 2024 versus December 31, 2023
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Company had a net loss of $16,183,018 on revenue of $54,426,402, versus a net loss of $18,542,654 on revenue of $53,376,874, for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.
Revenue
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s total revenue increased by 1.97%, reaching $54,426,402, compared to $53,376,874 for the prior year period ended December 31, 2023. This growth was primarily driven by the following factors:
| · | Wholesale Revenue Growth: The revenue increase was largely attributable to our subsidiary Cosmofarm SA, which experienced higher sales following the acquisition of several customer bases. Additionally, there was a moderate increase in demand for the period, further contributing to revenue expansion. |
|
|
|
| · | Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Expansion: Our pharmaceutical manufacturing segment experienced a significant revenue increase, primarily due to the inclusion of CANA, our manufacturing subsidiary, for the full 12-month period in 2024. In contrast, during 2023, CANA contributed to the Group’s results only for six months following its acquisition on June 30, 2023. For further details, refer to the Segment Reporting section. |
The combination of these factors contributed to the overall revenue growth for the period.
35 |
Table of Contents |
Our future revenue growth will continue to be affected by various factors such as industry growth trends, including drug utilization, the introduction of new innovative brand therapies, the likely increase in the number of generic drugs that will be available over the next few years as a result of the expiration of certain drug patents held by brand-name pharmaceutical manufacturers and the rate of conversion from brand products to those generic drugs, price increases and price deflation, general economic conditions in the member states of European Union, competition within the industry, customer consolidation, changes in pharmaceutical manufacturer pricing and distribution policies and practices, increased downward pressure on government and other third party reimbursement rates to our customers, and changes in government rules and regulations.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, our cost of goods sold (“COGS”) was $50,115,079, representing a 2.22% increase compared to $49,027,305 for the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
The increase in COGS was proportionate to revenue growth and was primarily influenced by a shift in revenue mix, with a larger portion of total revenue derived from our wholesale segment. Historically, our wholesale operations generate lower gross margins compared to other revenue streams, contributing to the overall increase in COGS as a percentage of revenue.
Gross Profit
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, our gross profit was $4,311,323, representing a decrease of $38,246, or 0.88%, compared to $4,349,569 for the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
The change in gross profit was primarily attributable to the differing year-over-year growth rates of revenue and cost of goods sold (COGS). While revenue increased compared to the prior-year period, COGS grew at a comparatively higher rate, resulting in a contraction of gross profit.
Operating Expenses
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, total operating expenses were $19,856,153, compared to $26,180,786 for the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, representing a decrease of $6,324,633, or 24.16%. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily attributable to the following factors:
| · | Lower provisions for expected credit losses and allowances for doubtful accounts, which amounted to $4,691,767 in 2024 compared to $11,850,788 in 2023. |
|
|
|
| · | A significant reduction in sales and marketing expenses, particularly related to our branded nutraceuticals, which declined by 70.53% year-over-year. |
Despite the overall decline in operating expenses, certain cost categories increased:
| · | Salaries and wages increased by $1,138,527 (25%) compared to 2023, primarily due to the full-year inclusion of our subsidiary CANA in 2024 (compared to the six months period in 2023, following its acquisition on June 30, 2023) and the hiring of additional full-time employees across our Greek subsidiaries. |
|
|
|
| · | Research and development (R&D) costs increased by $368,434 (223.48%), mainly due to the annual royalty fee charged by our related-party manufacturing company, Doc Pharma SA, pursuant to a royalty agreement signed on December 31, 2024. |
|
|
|
| · | Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $634,861 (103.33%), primarily driven by the amortization of 19 generic licenses acquired from Doc Pharma SA on December 29, 2023, with a total purchase value of €3,200,000 ($3,539,840). |
|
|
|
| · | Impairment of intangible assets: during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized total impairment charges of $291,980 relating to intangible assets that were deemed no longer recoverable. Specifically, the Company recorded impairment losses associated with certain branded pharmaceutical products that had been acquired from Doc Pharma SA pursuant to the agreement executed on June 28, 2023. These products were initially intended to be launched and commercialized in various markets; however, following a reassessment of the Company’s commercialization strategy, management concluded that it no longer intends to proceed with their market introduction in the foreseeable future. As such, the carrying value of these assets was fully impaired. In addition, the Company fully wrote off the remaining carrying value of the telehealth platform developed and owned by its wholly owned subsidiary, Zip Doctor Inc., due to the discontinuation of the platform’s operation and the absence of future plans for its reactivation or redevelopment. No impairment charges were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2023. |
As a result of these expense changes, our net operating loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024 was $15,544,830, representing an improvement of $6,286,387 (28.8%) compared to a net operating loss of $21,831,217 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported other income of $86,737, compared to other expense of $65,867 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. This represents a net favorable variance of $152,604, or 231.69% year-over-year improvement.
The increase was primarily attributable to the reversal of a previously recorded adjustment related to the cumulative impact of discounted sales to Medihelm SA, the exclusive distributor of the Company’s proprietary line of nutraceutical products. During 2023, the Company had adopted a conservative accounting approach to reflect the low collectability risk associated with historical sales to Medihelm and had therefore recognized a corresponding expense.
In 2024, however, due to the significant allowance already recorded in 2023 and the limited level of new sales activity with Medihelm during the current year, management determined that this adjustment was no longer required. As such, the Company reversed the previously recorded charge, resulting in an increase to other income.
For additional details, refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, under the “Revenue Recognition” section of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024.
Interest Income & Expenses
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, interest expense totaled $1,012,314, representing an increase of $145,838, or 16.83%, compared to $866,476 for the prior year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by new debt facilities totaling $828,080, entered into by our subsidiary Cosmofarm SA.
Interest income for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, was $406,449, reflecting a decrease of $256,410, or 38.68%, compared to $662,859 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. This decline was primarily due to the receipt of loan repayments during 2024, which reduced outstanding loan receivable balances and, consequently, interest earned on them and the absence of interest income from treasury bills, which contributed approximately $55,000 to interest income in 2023 but were not in place during 2024.
Gain on extinguishment of debt
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, we did not recognize any gains on debt extinguishment.
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,910,967, which was primarily attributable to an $1,605,499 gain from the termination of our agreement with Marathon Global Inc., which resulted in the write-off of the share-settled debt obligation outstanding as of December 31, 2022 and a $305,468 gain from the forgiveness of debt related to the Synthesis Structured debt facility of our subsidiary SkyPharm SA.
Bargain purchase gain
On June 30, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of CANA. As a result of the acquisition, we recognized a bargain purchase gain of $1,440,249, which arose because the fair value of CANA’s net assets at the acquisition date exceeded the total fair value of the consideration transferred.
The bargain purchase gain was recognized as other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. Management determined that the gain resulted primarily from negotiated purchase terms and the specific financial condition of the seller at the time of the transaction.
As no similar transactions occurred during the year ended December 31, 2024, no such gains were recognized in the current period.

Unrealized Foreign Currency Losses & Deemed Dividends
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a net comprehensive loss of $24,093,129, compared to a net comprehensive loss of $25,071,043 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. This change in net comprehensive loss was primarily due to the unrealized foreign currency translation loss and a change in deemed dividends, as detailed below:
| · | The unrealized foreign currency translation loss for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $1,715,087, compared to an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $712,791 for the same period in 2023. The significant fluctuation in foreign exchange results was largely driven by changes in the exchange rates of the Euro and British Pound against the US Dollar, primarily affecting intercompany loans and balances between the Company and its Greek and UK subsidiaries. These currency fluctuations have had a material impact on the translation of intercompany balances. For the detailed foreign exchange rates used to translate these balances, please refer to “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” under the section “Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Loss”. |
| · | The deemed dividend for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024 amounted to $6,195,024, relating to the Warrant Inducement Letter dated September 26, 2024. In contrast, the deemed dividends recorded for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023, were $7,241,180, primarily associated with the Warrant Exchange Agreement the Company entered on December 29, 2023. For further details on the deemed dividends, please refer to “Note 7 - Warrant Anti-Dilution Adjustment and Deemed Dividend”. |
The significant fluctuation in the unrealized foreign currency results was the primary factor influencing the difference in comprehensive loss between the two years. For a comprehensive understanding of the key accounting policies and assumptions underlying these changes, readers are encouraged to review the relevant Notes to the Financial Statements for the 12 months ended December 31 2024, as indicated above.
Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as well as the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the 12 months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company had revenue of $13,712,528, net loss of $818,097 and net cash used in operations of $186,316. Additionally, as of March 31, 2025, the Company had positive working capital of $1,259,012, an accumulated deficit of $114,840,372, and stockholders’ equity of $25,951,712. For the 12 months ended period December 31, 2024, the Company had revenue of $54,426,402, net loss of $16,183,018 and net cash used in operations of $7,717,034. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of $296,193, an accumulated deficit of $114,022,275, and stockholders’ equity of $24,532,929.
It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the date of this filing.
The Company’s revenues are not able to sustain its operations, and concerns exist regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company is subject to a number of risks to those of smaller commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other pharmaceutical and health care companies.
Management evaluated the above conditions which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to determine if it can meet its obligations for the subsequent 12 months from the date of this filing. Management considered its ability to access future capital, curtail expenses if needed, expand product lines, and acquire new products.

Management’s plans include expansion of brand name products to the market, expanding the current product portfolio, and evaluating acquisition targets to expand distribution. The exclusive distribution agreement signed for its Sky Premium Life products in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) and the significant orders already received, are expected to substantially strengthen its operating cash flow. Furthermore, the Company intends to vertically integrate the supply chain distribution network. On top of that, the Company plans to access the capital markets further in order to raise additional funds through equity offerings. More specifically, commencing from August 2025, the Company will be eligible to utilize an S-3 registration statement, (12 months following the date that the Company had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”)), to be in a position to raise equity capital more efficiently in conjunction with utilizing potential equity proceeds by its outstanding warrants. Management’s plans also include postponing certain debt repayments, through achieving favorable amendments to its debt facilities and in parallel intends to make substantial efforts to receive additional debt financing. Moreover, the Company’s management is considering of postponing certain repayments of suppliers and creditors. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described herein and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Considering the above, management is of the view that substantial doubt exists for the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025 compared with December 31, 2024
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had positive working capital of $1,259,012, compared to a negative working capital of $296,193 as of December 31, 2024. The improvement in working capital is primarily attributable to higher inventory levels and increased accounts receivable as of March 31, 2025. These increases reflect the Company’s focus on supporting sales growth and ensuring product availability. In addition, the reduction in related party accounts payable contributed to the improved position, following debt-to-equity conversions executed by our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Grigorios Siokas, during the period. The Company believes its current working capital is adequate to meet short-term obligations.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
As of March 31, 2025, the Company reported net cash of $742,881, compared to net cash of $315,105 as of December 31, 2024, reflecting an increase of $427,776. The improvement in net cash was primarily driven by financing cash inflows during the period, notably the proceeds from a new debt facility entered into by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cosmofarm SA. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company used net cash of $186,316 in operating activities, a significant improvement compared to the net cash used of $3,412,103 in the same period of the prior year. The marginally negative operating cash flow during the period is primarily attributable to consolidated operating losses, predominantly incurred at the Parent Company level. The impact of changes in working capital items on operating cash flows was limited and not a material driver of the overall cash utilization. The notable decrease in operating cash outflows compared to the prior period was mainly due to the reduction in the Company’s net loss during the period. Additionally, in the comparative period of 2024, significant cash outflows had occurred in the form of operating investments, particularly in the form of prepayments for inventory and product purchases, which were not repeated at the same magnitude during the current period.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company used $7,069 in net cash for investing activities, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $126,454 in the prior-year equivalent period. The cash outflows for the current period were immaterial and primarily reflect limited investment activity. The variance compared to the prior period is largely attributable to the absence of principal and interest receipts from the Company’s loans receivable, which had contributed to investing inflows during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. As of the date of this report, the Company expects to recover the outstanding principal and accrued interest related to such loans within the next few months.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company generated $560,862 in net cash from financing activities, compared to $206,942 during the same period in 2024. The increase in net cash from financing activities was primarily driven by lower debt repayments and new financing arrangements. Debt repayments totaled $184,153 in the first quarter of 2025, a significant reduction compared to $364,354 in the prior-year period. In addition, during the first quarter of 2025, the Company’s subsidiary, Cosmofarm SA, entered into a new debt facility, which provided proceeds of $737,177. Equity financing activity during the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 included gross proceeds of $649,039 from two Prospectus Supplements to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3. There were no comparable equity raises in the 2025 period. Furthermore, the Company generated $19,538 in net proceeds from its Lines of Credit during the first quarter of 2025. These inflows contributed to strengthening the Company’s liquidity position and funding ongoing operational needs.

We anticipate using cash in our bank account as of March 31, 2025, cash generated from debt or equity financing, from investing activities or from management loans to the extent that funds are available to do so to conduct our business in the upcoming year. Management is not obliged to provide these or any other funds. If we fail to meet these requirements, we may lose the qualification for quotation and our securities would no longer trade on Nasdaq Capital Market. Further, as a consequence we would fail to satisfy our reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and investors would then own stock in a company that does not provide the disclosure available in quarterly and annual reports filed with the SEC and investors may have increased difficulty in selling their stock as we will be non-reporting.
As of December 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had negative working capital of $296,193, compared to a positive working capital of $12,285,310 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to the significant cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the reduction in working capital was influenced by the significant allowances for doubtful accounts recorded for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024. The cash used in operating activities, as detailed in the liquidity section, led to a reduction in the Company’s available current assets, while the increase in allowances for doubtful accounts reflects the Company’s prudent assessment of its receivables. The Company continues to closely manage its working capital to ensure adequate liquidity for operations and strategic investments. Going forward, management is focused on improving collections and reducing allowances for doubtful accounts, which are expected to have a positive impact on working capital and overall liquidity in the coming periods.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had net cash of $315,105, compared to net cash of $3,833,195 as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in net cash is primarily due to the operating cash outflows during the period, reflecting the Company's ongoing investment in key operational activities. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Company used net cash of $7,717,034 in operating activities, compared to net cash used of $15,635,999 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. The negative cash used in operating activities is primarily attributable to the Group's operating losses, which were driven by the Parent entity and all subsidiaries. The impact of working capital items was marginal in relation to the negative cash flow results. The operating losses were primarily a result of substantial investments made in several key areas, including the hiring of highly skilled employees, increased spending on research and development, and marketing costs related to the promotion of the Company’s own branded products. Additionally, depreciation and amortization expenses increased significantly, driven by the acquisition of manufacturing facilities, corporate offices, and pharmaceutical and nutraceutical licenses. The Company anticipates that these significant operating investments should yield positive results soon, contributing to future operating profits and positive operating cash flows. Management expects that, as these investments mature, the Company will achieve improved financial performance and enhance its ability to generate positive cash flows from operations in the near term. The Company’s liquidity position, as of December 31, 2024, remains under careful review by management, and the Company is focused on improving cash flows by realizing the expected benefits of its operational investments. The Company will continue to monitor its liquidity position and take necessary actions to ensure it can meet its financial obligations and maintain sufficient liquidity to support its strategic objectives.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Company used $798,269 in net cash for investing activities, compared to $13,760,357 in the prior year. The higher outflow in 2023 was primarily driven by the purchase of fixed assets, including the acquisition of facilities for the Company’s subsidiary Cosmofarm SA, the acquisition of nutraceutical and pharmaceutical licenses, and the acquisition of a building in Canada, along with the cash paid for the acquisition of the Company’s subsidiary Cana, on June 30, 2023.
In contrast, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company limited its investing outflows by spending approximately $1.2 million on the acquisition of several nutraceutical licenses through its subsidiary SkyPharm SA and certain machinery for its manufacturing subsidiary, CANA. These outflows were partially offset by the $468,974 in proceeds from its outstanding loans receivable. The Company’s investment strategy continues to focus on expanding its business through organic growth and selective acquisitions of companies and licenses.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the 12 months ended December 31, 2024, the Company generated $5,046,684 in net cash from financing activities, compared to $12,694,007 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in financing inflows was due to the significantly higher financing activities in 2023, which included $9,362,937 from the offering completed in July 2023, the receipt of the outstanding subscription receivable from the December 2022 offering, and $3,533,741 in net proceeds from the exercise of warrants during December 2023.
In 2024, the Company repaid $1,092,121 of its outstanding Notes Payable but received $865,600 from new debt facilities signed during the year. Additionally, the Company had $816,318 in net proceeds from its Lines of Credit. Furthermore, the Company raised additional equity funds through two Prospectus Supplements to its Registration Statement on Form S-3, resulting in gross proceeds of $649,039. In September 2024, the Company entered into a Warrant Inducement with an investor, issuing 9,748,252 new warrants and reducing the exercise price of 4,874,126 warrant shares from $1.45 to $0.8701. This transaction resulted in gross cash proceeds of $4,240,977.

Liquidity Outlook
The Company’s financing activities in 2024 have enabled it to access additional funds through debt and equity financing, which will support its ongoing investments and operational growth. The Company continues to manage its liquidity position carefully and is committed to maintaining sufficient resources to support its strategic objectives, including expanding its operations through both organic growth and selective acquisitions.
Management is confident that the Company’s current liquidity position, along with its ongoing financing and investment strategies, will enable it to meet its financial obligations and continue its growth trajectory in the coming periods.

While the Company intends to pursue these milestones, there may be circumstances where for valid business reasons or due to factors beyond the control of the Company, a reallocation of efforts may be necessary or advisable.
The Company intends to spend the funds available to strengthen working capital, inventories, intangible assets, acquisitions, research and development, sales and marketing expenses. Due to the uncertain nature of the industry in which the Company operates, projects may be frequently reviewed and reassessed. Accordingly, while it is currently intended by management that the available funds will be expended as set forth above, actual expenditures may in fact differ from these amounts and allocations.
Product Portfolio
Our product portfolio includes generics and over-the-counter (“OTC”) pharmaceutical products, innovative medicines, as well as nutraceuticals and biocides. This structure enables strong alignment and integration between manufacturing, operations, commercial regions, research & development and our global marketing and portfolio function, optimizing our product lifecycle across therapeutic areas and physical wellbeing.
Generic Medicines
Generic medicines are the chemical and therapeutic equivalents of originator medicines and are typically more affordable in comparison to the originator’s products. Generic medicines are required to meet similar governmental requirements as their brand-name equivalents, such as those relating to current Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”), manufacturing processes and health authorities’ inspections, and must receive regulatory approval prior to their sale in any given country. Generic medicines may be manufactured and marketed if relevant patents on their brand-name equivalents (and any additional government-mandated market exclusivity periods) have expired.
We develop, manufacture and sell generic medicines in a variety of dosage forms, including tablets, capsules, liquids, ointments and creams.
Our portfolio of generic medicines includes: 1) ASTO-CHOL (Pravastatin); 2) Diorium (Omeprazole); 3) HEART-FREE (Clopidogrel); 4) the LIPICHOL (Atorvastatin); 5) Miltus (Donepezil); 6) Newzypra (Olanzapine); 7) the PNEUMO-KAST (Montelukast); 8) Sahar (Pioglitazone); 9) VIVALCID (Leucovorin); and 10) the Diabit-is (Sitagliptin).
Nutraceuticals
Nutraceuticals is referring to a broad range of products derived from food sources that provide health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value. While nutraceuticals are not classified as drugs, they are often used for their therapeutic effects in a manner similar to pharmaceuticals.
Our proprietary nutraceutical brands are Sky Premium Life® (“SPL”) and Mediterranation®. Our portfolio currently includes around 165 SKUs and more specifically product codes such as Vitamins and Minerals, Amino Acids, Botanical and other Herbal extracts used for health prevention and care needs.
Biocides
Our proprietary portfolio of branded biocides and antiseptic soaps comprises of our brands C-Sept® and C-Scrub®. The biocide C-Sept Pro 2% has a broad-spectrum antimicrobial formulation that combines 76% Isopropyl Alcohol and 2% chlorhexidine digluconate as active substances. On the other hand, our antiseptic soap, C-Scrub Wash 4% CHG, contains chlorhexidine digluconate as its active antiseptic substance, which is approved by the World Health Organization for human use. The broad antimicrobial spectrum of C-Scrub Wash 4% CHG encompasses Gram-positive and Gram-negative microbes, fungi, and viruses, and its efficacy has been demonstrated in numerous published clinical studies. C-Scrub Wash 4% CHG significantly reduces bacterial load on the skin with long lasting.
Other Pharmaceutical Products:
Our portfolio of other pharmaceutical products includes brands such as:
| - | Melatonin Spray®; |

|
|
|
| - | Bio-bebe®. |
Melatonin Spray®, is recommended for addressing insomnia and jet lag, offering a peaceful sleep. It is manufactured using nanonemulsification technology and primarily contains melatonin, a lipophilic molecule. To increase the absorption of such molecules, nanoemulsification is one of the most effective methods. The absorption of the ingredient increases proportionally with the reduction of the micelle diameter. The diameter of a nanoemulsion micelle ranges between 50 and 300nm.
Otikon™ ear drops, is a class II medical device in the form of ear drops for spray application and contains natural ingredients used to relieve ear pain, remove excess ear wax (cerumen) and improve hearing.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition. The Company adopted Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers on January 1, 2018. As a result, it has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed in Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net (loss) earnings.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes, ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom. The corporate income tax rate is 22% in Greece (tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013) and 25% in the United Kingdom. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.
We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position in our financial statements if, in management’s judgment, the position is not more-likely-then-not sustainable upon audit based on the position’s technical merits. This involves the identification of potential uncertain tax positions, the evaluation of applicable tax laws and an assessment of whether a liability for an uncertain tax position is necessary. We operate and are subject to audit in multiple taxing jurisdictions.
We record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of interest and other expense, respectively.
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of the U.S. net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in our parent, Cosmos Health Inc., which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the United Kingdom. The income tax assets and liabilities are not able to be netted. We therefore reserve the income tax assets applicable to the United States, but recognize the income tax liabilities in Greece and the United Kingdom. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company follows ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) to estimate the allowance for credit losses. The Company is required to estimate credit losses on accounts receivable balances held at amortized cost. ASC 326 introduces a new methodology for measuring credit losses, replacing the previous incurred loss model with an expected credit loss model. The Company measures credit losses on accounts receivable using an expected credit loss model, which considers historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Credit losses are measured as the difference between the present value of contractual cash flows expected to be collected and the present value of expected cash flows discounted at the financial instrument’s original effective interest rate. The Company reviews individually each trade receivable for collectability and performs on-going credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by the review of their current credit information; and determines the allowance for credit losses based on historical write-off experience, customer specific facts and general economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay. Bad debt expense is included in general and administrative expenses, if any.
Inventory Reserves
Our merchandise inventories are made up of finished goods, manufacturing products, raw materials and other products and are valued at the lower of cost or market using the weighted-average cost method. However, the net realizable value (“NRV”) will always be higher than our inventory’s cost, once most of our inventory is fast moving and the vast majority of our products is pharmaceuticals, which have standard selling prices that could not result to the NRV being higher than the average cost. Moreover, our efficient inventory management which has led to minimum obsolete and slow-moving inventory also indicates that the NRV is higher than its average cost. Thus, an NRV assessment would have no material, if any, to our inventory’s cost. Average cost includes the direct purchase price, net of vendor allowances and cash discounts, of merchandise inventory. We record valuation reserves on an annual basis for merchandise damage and defective returns, merchandise items with slow-moving or obsolescence exposure and merchandise that has a carrying value that exceeds market value. These reserves are estimates of a reduction in value to reflect inventory valuation at the lower of cost or market. The reserve for merchandise returns is based upon the determination of the historical net realizable value of products sold from our returned goods inventory or returned to vendors for credit. Our reserve for merchandise returns includes amounts for returned product on-hand as well as for new merchandise on-hand that we estimate will ultimately become returned goods inventory after being sold based on historical return rates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued final guidance which requires disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The disclosure is required on an annual and interim basis. The guidance also requires the total amount of selling expenses to be disclosed and, on an annual basis, the definition of selling expenses. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Entities are permitted to adopt these disclosure requirements earlier than the mandated dates if they choose to do so. This new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the notes to our financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. The Company has completed its evaluation of this guidance and has implemented the standard. A respective disclosure has been included in Note 19 (Segment Reporting) to the consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

As a global company we are harnessing our expertise and stepping up innovation to continue the momentum behind the discovery, delivery, and expanded development of modern pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products.
Our Markets
We operate in the healthcare sector and particularly in the Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical businesses. We cover vertically several process phases within the abovementioned sectors, such as research & development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of products and services. More specifically, we operate in generic medicines, nutraceuticals, biocides, medical devices, novel oncology drugs, drug repurposing and telehealth services.
Generic medicines are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of branded pharmaceutical products and are generally marketed under their generic (chemical) names rather than by brand names. Typically, a generic drug may not be marketed until the expiration of applicable patent(s) on the corresponding branded product, unless a resolution of patent litigation results in an earlier opportunity to enter the market. Generic drugs are the same as branded products in dosage form, safety, efficacy, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use, but they are sold generally at prices below those of the corresponding branded products. Generic drugs provide a cost-effective alternative for consumers, while maintaining the same high quality, efficacy, safety profile, purity and stability of the branded product.
The Company also conducts its business within the global nutraceuticals market with our own brand which we consider to be highly qualitative and competitive. Nutraceuticals are defined as products that contain at least one dietary ingredient within them and can be consumed orally. Some of the purposes of nutraceuticals are used for immune system defense, energy, stress, bones and joints.
According to a study published by Towards Healthcare, the global generic drugs market was valued at $424.98 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $874.63 billion by 2033, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.35% throughout the forecasted period. The rise in patent expiration, increasing demand for cost-effective and efficient medicines and less complex approval process for generics drive the market growth.
The global nutraceuticals market size is calculated at USD 591.15 billion in 2024, grew to USD 636.31 billion in Q1 2025, and is projected to reach around USD 1,234 billion by 2034. The market is expanding at a CAGR of 7.64% between 2025 and 2034. This indicates a growing interest in products that promote wellness and help prevent illness. This shift towards focusing on preventive health is driving an increase in market demand.
According to the Towards Healthcare study, the global obesity & weight management market size is calculated at USD 163.13 billion in 2024 and is expected to be worth USD 362.1 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2024 to 2034, driven by the increasing prevalence of obesity and its associated health risks, including diabetes, hypertension, and orthopedic conditions.
According to Future Market Insights, the global hospital disinfectant products and services market size is expected to reach $75.6 billion in value by 2033. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% during the forecast period, with the EU and UK market playing a significant role.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global oncology drugs market size was valued at USD 201.75 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 220.80 billion in 2024 to USD 518.25 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.3% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
The global drug repurposing market size is anticipated to reach USD 30.1 billion by 2028, up from USD 24.5 billion in 2021, reflecting a CAGR of 2.9% over the 2022-2028 period. Drug repurposing, often referred to as re-profiling, is the process of identifying new therapeutic applications for approved and marketed drugs that have already been through safety and efficacy testing and has emerged as a key strategy by the vast majority of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies to fuel significant business expansion. Notably, between 2007 and 2009, 30-40% of all biologics approved in the U.S. were either repurposed or repositioned drugs.

ZipDoctor’s online telemedicine platform is available to customers across the United States and offers English and Spanish coverage with virtual visits taking place either by telephone or through a secured video chat platform.
Drug Repurposing
Cloudscreen® (Cloudscreen) is a multimodal platform for drug repositioning and repurposing. It integrates both 1D and 3D data types into its AI algorithm, which thoroughly analyzes the druggable proteome and variome, offering accurate predictions for repurposing of existing drugs toward new indications. The platform is accompanied by in vitro validation for both toxicity and effectiveness.
Finding new therapeutic applications for previously researched drugs can offer patients quicker access to novel treatments. Such a strategy not only benefits developers by reducing time and costs but also retains the original IP protection. Especially for high-cost conditions like cancer, exploring anti-cancer potentials in a vast array of off-patent drugs, which have already established their safety profiles, is a powerful tactic preferred by most leading pharmaceutical enterprises.
We have built on promising preclinical discoveries, predictive insights, and simulations generated by Cosmos Health's AI-powered Cloudscreen® drug repurposing platform. Recent in vitro studies have validated the therapeutic potential of a repurposed marketed drug for both indications, with inventors establishing a novel mechanism of action unique to each of the following disease. For instance:
| - | Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system, leading to a broad spectrum of symptoms and potentially significant disability. According to the Atlas of MS, the global prevalence of MS has increased from 2.3 million individuals in 2013 to 2.9 million in 2023. |
|
|
|
| - | Gliomas are a diverse group of primary brain and spinal cord tumors originating from glial cells. In oncology, gliomas account for approximately 30% of all central nervous system tumors and about 80% of all malignant brain tumors. |
|
|
|
| - | Hematologic malignancies encompass a diverse group of cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow, and lymphatic system, including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. These diseases account for a significant portion of cancer diagnoses worldwide, with varying incidence rates across different regions. |
Our patent application for multiple sclerosis was filed under application number N2039644, while the application pertaining to glioma was submitted under number N2039647. Additionally, a third application, focusing on hematologic malignancies including multiple myeloma was filed under number N2039645. All three applications were officially filed on February 10, 2025.
These advancements build on promising preclinical discoveries, predictive insights, and simulations generated by Cosmos Health’s AI-powered Cloudscreen drug repurposing platform. Recent in vitro studies have validated the therapeutic potential of a repurposed marketed drug for both indications, with inventors establishing a novel mechanism of action unique to each cancer type.

Research & Development
Our R&D activities are focused on novel medicines development activities that are World Intellectual Property Organization (“WIPO”) patented. Specifically, they includes preclinical assessment (including toxicology, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and pharmacology studies), clinical development (including pharmacology and the design, execution and analysis of global safety and efficacy trials), as well as regulatory strategy to deliver registration of our pipeline products. We develop novel innovative medicines in our core therapeutic and disease focus areas, such as CNS cancer, prostate, ovarian and colorectal cancer, and finally obesity and weight management.
In line with our growth strategy and our focus on internal growth that leverages our R&D capabilities, we have entered, and expect to pursue, in-licensing, acquisition, collaboration, funding and other partnership opportunities to supplement and expand our existing pipeline.
Obesity & Weight Management (CCX0722)
By employing novel amino acid-based cross-linkers, a series of water-absorbent polymeric networks, known as superabsorbent hydrogels (SAHs), our obesity product, CCX0722, has emerged as promising candidates for weight management and obesity. Spatial fillers are hydrophilic biopolymer grids capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of water or biological fluids. CCX0722 is expected to reduce food intake by increasing satiety and reducing appetite. The product is being optimized in terms of its physicochemical properties and its effects on gut microflora through a series of in vitro studies and simulations
We are currently finalizing the scale-up production phase of CCX0722, paving the way for human clinical trials and targeting a market launch in the first or second quarter of 2026. Building on the successful completion of pilot production and previous development milestones, the Company is now actively engaging with contract research organizations (CROs) to complete the technical dossier, and clinical trials are set to be completed between the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026. This strategic progress marks a critical step in positioning CCX0722 for regulatory submission and potential classification as a class III medical device.
CNS Cancer
We have acquired all rights arising from the patent filed with the WIPO under reference code PCT/EP2023/071865, related to CNS cancer treatment. The patent filing describes the repurposing of an existing drug to act on the Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1), a key target in various diseases. This innovation proposes the use of the repurposed drug in addressing certain central nervous system (CNS) cancers, hematological cancers, allergic inflammation, and autoimmune diseases. Existing preclinical data are promising for the further development of these findings.
Prostate, Ovarian and Colorectal Cancers
The Company has secured buy-out rights and exclusive licensing for two patented anticancer drugs targeting, among others, prostate, ovarian, and colorectal cancers.
Both of these innovative anticancer therapies, developed through cutting-edge oncology research, are protected by international patents and set to commence Clinical Phase I trials. The first therapy is safeguarded by WIPO patent WO 2017/001439A1 and the second by WIPO patent WO 2018/011414 A1, with a focus on major markets such as the USA, EU, Canada, Japan, China, and Australia.
The innovation on the first novel drug development task provides novel hybrid esters of steroidal lactams and alkylating agents (LSEs, steroids that contain lactam group -NHC=O- into steroid ring/s conjugated with alkylating agents). The compounds are esters of steroidal lactams with derivatives of bis(2-chloroethyl) aminophenoxypropanoic acid. These compounds exhibit: 1. higher antitumor activity, 2. lower acute toxicity in comparison with non-lactam steroid alkylating esters and conventional alkylators.

Through the important cytotoxic anticancer activity against several human cancer cell lines and tumor systems in vitro and in vivo and their well-tolerated toxicity, these new molecules seems to hold a quite unique multi-targeting profile of biological and pharmacological effects on tumor cells, fairly different of the conventional and currently used anticancer drugs.
With regard to the status of the studies, they have been conducted for the lead molecules: in silico studies, in vitro and in vivo evaluation, in 38 human cancer cell lines and in 14 human cancer xenograft models, optimized drug synthesis, acute toxicity evaluation in mice, primary pharmacokinetic (PK) study in mice.
On the other hand, novel pharmacologically active 1,2,4-triazolo-[3,4-b]-1,3, 4-thiadiazole derivatives (TADs) were prepared and tested in vitro and in vivo for multi-targeted anticancer activity. TADs demonstrated: (1) High cytostatic and cytotoxic activity against human cancer cell lines, in vitro. (2) High antitumor effects against human tumor xenografts in vivo. (3) Well tolerated systemic toxicity and relatively low acute toxicities, in vivo. (3) High effectiveness against cancer cells resistant to chemotherapeutics as, platinum complexes (cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin), doxorubicin, irinotecan, paclitaxel). (4) High activity against colon and pancreatic cancer cells that bear K-RAS and/or TP53 mutations. (5) High effectiveness against hormone refractory prostate cancer. (6) High effectiveness against hormone-therapy resistant breast cancer. (7) They induce strong inhibition of phosphorylation and activity of Topoisomerase IIa. (8) They induce strong inhibition of PI3K-AKT-mTOR signal transduction cellular pathway. (9) High activity against tumors that bear KRAS, BRAF, MEK1, PIK3CA mutations. (10) Very high effectiveness against cancer tumors that present defective mismatch repair system (dMMR) with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). (11) They significantly enhance microsatellite instability in MSI-H cancer cells, as well as in MSI stable (MSS) cancer cells. (12) They trigger the expression of PDL-1 on cancer cells, inducing a dose dependent increment of 80-100% in 2-4 days after treatment. In silico computational and primary in vitro and in vivo studies confirm that TADs act as multi-targeted agents with a novel panel of pharmacological activity.
Studies have been conducted for the lead molecules: In Silico studies, in Vitro and in vivo evaluation (in 28 human cancer cell lines and in 10 human cancer xenograft models), Optimized drug synthesis, acute toxicity evaluation in mice.
Product Insurance
We have insurance in place for our warehouses and the products in stock against any damage or theft, but we do not insure our products after the sale, since we are working under an Ex-works policy, and thus our clients are responsible for the transportation and the insurance of the products against any damage. In the future, we will continue to reevaluate our decision and may purchase product liability insurance to cover some of or all of our product liability risk.

Customers
Through our subsidiaries, we primarily sell pharmaceutical products directly to pharmacies and a limited number of large wholesale drug distributors who, in turn, supply-sell the products to other wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, and governmental agencies across the European Union member state. No customer accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
We have a diverse customer base that includes wholesalers and retail healthcare providers. We make a significant amount of our sales to a relatively small number of pharmaceutical wholesalers. These customers represent an essential part of the distribution chain of our products. Pharmaceutical wholesalers have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation on a worldwide basis. This consolidation resulted in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business.
Geographic Markets
All of our revenues are generated from operations in the European Union and UK, or otherwise earned outside of the U.S. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability and restrictive governmental actions. Our geographical market sales distribution of our total consolidated revenues during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

We currently sell the products to wholesalers through our own sales force. We do not sell directly to large drug store chains or through distributors in countries where we do not have our own sales staff. As part of our sales marketing and promotion program, we use direct advertising, direct mailings, trading techniques, direct and personal contacts, exhibition of products at medical conventions and sponsor medical education symposia.
Competition
Our pharmaceutical businesses are conducted in intensely competitive and often highly regulated markets. Many of our trading of pharmaceutical products face competition in the form of branded or generic drugs that treat similar diseases or indications. The principal forms of competition include efficacy, safety, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. The means of competition vary across product categories and business groups, demonstrating that the value of our trading products is a critical factor for success in all of our principal businesses.
59 |
Table of Contents |
Our competitors include other pharmaceutical companies, and smaller companies with generic drug and consumer healthcare products. We compete with other companies that manufacture and sell products that treat diseases or indications similar to those treated by our trading pharmaceutical products.
Our competitive position in pharmaceutical sector is affected by several factors including among others, the amount and effectiveness of our and our competitors’ promotional resources, customer acceptance, product quality, our and our competitors’ introduction of new products, ingredients, claims, dosage forms, or other forms of innovation, and pricing, regulatory and legislative matters (such as product labeling, patient access and prescription).
The branded pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. Our products compete with products manufactured by many other companies in highly competitive markets throughout the EU territory and internationally as well. Competitors include many of the major brand name and generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both.
In the generic pharmaceutical market, we might face intense competition from other generic drug manufacturers, brand name pharmaceutical companies, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs.
By specializing in high barrier to entry products, we endeavor to market more profitable and longer-lived products relative to commodity generic products. We believe that our competitive advantages include our integrated team-based approach to product development that combines our formulation, regulatory, legal and commercial capabilities; our ability to introduce new generic equivalents for brand-name drugs; our ability to meet customer expectations; and the breadth of our existing generic product portfolio offering.
Newly introduced generic products with limited or no other generic competition typically garner higher prices. At the expiration of the exclusivity period, other generic distributors may enter the market, resulting in a significant price decline for the drug. Consequently, the maintenance of profitable operations in generic pharmaceuticals depends, in part, on our ability to select, develop and launch new generic products in a timely and cost-efficient manner and to maintain efficient, high quality business capabilities.
We compete in the nutritional industry with our own branded nutraceutical products against companies that sell through retail stores, as well as against other direct selling companies. We compete against manufacturers and retailers of nutraceutical products which are distributed through supermarkets, drug stores, health food stores, vitamin outlets and mass market retailers, among others.

Government Regulations
Government authorities in the EU and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling, post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, advertising and promotion, storage, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products. As such, our branded pharmaceutical products and the generic product candidates are subject to extensive regulation both before and after approval. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, warning letters, civil penalties and delays in approving or refusal to approve a pharmaceutical product.
A main part of our business relates to the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines within the EU member states. In order to be able to operate our business, we need to comply with EU regulations, as well as EU member states regulations that govern various operations of our business. The Greek government regulation that applies to our business requires the granting to our operating subsidiaries of the Authorization for Wholesale Distribution of Medicinal Products for human use. In order for this Authorization to be granted, the companies need to always comply with certain Good Distribution Practices (“GDP”) that mainly assure the proper storage, handling, distribution and trade of the pharmaceutical products.
On July 22, 2015, the National Medicines Agency in Greece approved the license of wholesale sale of pharmaceutical products under the name SkyPharm SA with set validity at five years and an expiration date of July 22, 2020. Subsequently, on June 15, 2020, SkyPharm legally and timely submitted the application for renewal of the wholesale license of pharmaceutical products to the National Medicines Agency. The National Medicines Agency did not respond, therefore the Company asked for an immediate decision on the renewal. Two months after the filing of the no. 3459 / 15.01.2021 letter and almost nine months after the no. 627615.06.2020 company application for the renewal, the National Medicines Agency replied by rejecting the renewal request on March 9, 2021 (ref. 62769 / 20-25.02.2021). In addition, document No. 127351-16.12.2021 of EOF (Greek National Medicines Organization) to SkyPharm states that after an inspection of EOF at the premises of Doc Pharma, we did not have a wholesale license in violation of article 106 par. 1b and par. 1c of the ministerial decision D.YG3a / GP.32221 / 29-4-2019. The National Medicines Agency imposed a fine of €15,000 ($16,225) on SkyPharm for the above case, which was included in “General and administrative” expense on the accompany statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2023.
Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on February 5, 2021, from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916) and it is subject to the provisions of those Regulations and the Medicines Act 1971. This License will continue to remain in force from the date of issue by the Licensing Authority unless cancelled, suspended, revoked or varied as to the period of its validity or relinquished by the authorization holder.
Cosmofarm received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on February 15, 2019, from the National Organization for Medicines. The license is valid for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C343/01). Also, Cosmofarm was granted with GDP certificate on November 11, 2019.
Our subsidiary, Cana SA, is a holder of Good Manufacturing Practices license (GMP), which means that it is certified for fulfilling the minimum standards that a medicines manufacturer must meet in the production processes.
Our subsidiaries are ISO 9001 certified for a management system for the trade and distribution of pharmaceuticals. As part of the certification process by the International Organization for Standardization, we need to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) adopted by the European Union in May 2018.

Distribution and Equity Agreement
On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement”) with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Marathon was formed to be a global supplier of Cannabis, cannabidiol (“CBD”) and/or any Cannabis Extract products, extracts, ancillaries and derivatives (collectively, the “Products”). The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. The Company has no present intention to distribute any Products under this Agreement in the United States or otherwise participate in cannabis operations in the United States. The Company intends to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market.
The above transaction closed on May 22, 2018 after the due diligence period, following which the Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in common shares of the Company if it failed to meet certain performance milestones.

The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors. Since Marathon was a newly formed entity with no assets and no activity, the Company attributed no value to the 5 million shares in Marathon which was received as consideration for the distribution services.
The Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement was to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five years of the agreement. On March 20, 2023, the Company sent a termination notice to Marathon, which became effective on April 19, 2023 as a result of Marathon’s failure to satisfy these conditions.

Due to termination of the Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $1,554,590 due to the write-off of the share settled debt obligation, for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2023.

In the future, we may grant options to our directors to purchase shares of common stock as determined by our Board of Directors or a compensation committee that may be established.
Omnibus Equity Incentive Plans
On September 23, 2024, the Board adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Cosmos Health Inc. 2024 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan is designed to enable the flexibility to grant equity awards to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants and to ensure that we can continue to grant equity awards to eligible recipients at levels determined to be appropriate by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee. Subject to certain adjustments (as provided in Section 4.2 of the 2024 Plan) and exception (as provided in Section 5.6(b) of the 2023 Plan), the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan (including incentive share options) is 3,500,000 shares. The 2024 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on November 19, 2024.
On August 21, 2023, the Board adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Cosmos Health Inc. 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). The 2023 Plan is designed to enable the flexibility to grant equity awards to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants and to ensure that we can continue to grant equity awards to eligible recipients at levels determined to be appropriate by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee. Subject to certain adjustments (as provided in Section 4.2 of the 2023 Plan) and exception (as provided in Section 5.6(b) of the 2023 Plan), the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan (including incentive share options) is 2,500,000 shares. The 2023 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 18, 2023.
On April 3, 2023, the Company approved incentive stock awards for the CFO, certain officers and directors and other employees of the Company. The awards are in the form of restricted stock and will vest in two parts: 50% on October 2, 2023 and 50% on October 2, 2024. A total of 185,000 shares were awarded and a corresponding share-based compensation expense of $323,957 was recorded for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023, respectively, based on the amortization of fair value from the date of issuance of April 3, 2023 through December 31, 2023.
On September 19, 2022, the Company held a Board of Directors meeting, whereas, the Board of Directors had elected to adopt an Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), that includes reserving 200,000 shares of common stock eligible for issuance under the 2022 Plan to be registered on a Form S-8 Registration Statement with the SEC. The 2022 Plan is designed to enable the flexibility to grant equity awards to the Company’s officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants and to ensure that it can continue to grant equity awards to eligible recipients at levels determined to be appropriate by the Board and/or the Compensation Committee. The 2022 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on December 2, 2022.
Clawback Policy
On November 28, 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a clawback policy which provides for the recovery of certain executive compensation in the event of an accounting restatement resulting from material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws. There have been no accounting restatements to date, nor is there any compensation to be recovered.
Cosmos Health’s Policies and Practices Related to the Grant of Certain Equity Awards Close in Time to the Release of Material Nonpublic Information
The Company does not have any formal policy that requires the Company to grant, or avoid granting, equity-based compensation to its executive officers at certain times. Consistent with its annual compensation cycle, the Compensation Committee has granted annual equity awards to its directors and executive officers and might grant annual equity awards to its directors and executive officers in the future. The timing of any equity grants to directors or executive officers in connection with new hires or other non-routine grants is tied to the event giving rise to the award (such as an executive officer’s commencement of employment effective date). As a result, in all cases, the timing of grants of equity awards, including stock options or RSUs, occurs independent of the release of any material nonpublic information, and Cosmos Health does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of equity-based compensation.
Pursuant to Item 402(x) of Regulation S-K, the Company is required to provide tabular disclosure of any stock options or stock appreciation rights (SARs) granted to named executive officers during a period commencing four business days before and ending one business day after the disclosure of material nonpublic information (the “Covered Period”).
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not grant any stock options or stock appreciation rights to named executive officers during any Covered Period following the disclosure of material nonpublic information, including earnings releases or other significant corporate announcements. Accordingly, the tabular disclosure required under Item 402(x)(2) is not applicable.

If, at the time a holder exercises its Common Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants, which generally provides for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) (1) the volume weighted average price on (x) the trading day preceding the notice of exercise, if the notice of exercise is executed and delivered on a day that is not a trading day or prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” on a trading day or (y) the trading day of the notice of exercise, if the notice of exercise is executed and delivered after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day, or (2) the bid price on the day of the notice of exercise, if the notice of exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a trading day and is delivered within two hours thereafter, less (B) the exercise price, multiplied by (C) the number of shares of Common Stock the Common Warrant was exercisable into, with such product then divided by the number determined under clause (A) in this sentence.

Other documents establishing the terms of the offered securities are or may be filed as exhibits to the registration statement or documents incorporated by reference in the registration statement. Statements in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement about these documents are summaries, and each statement is qualified in all respects by reference to the document to which it refers. You should refer to the actual documents for a more complete description of the relevant matters. You may inspect a copy of the registration statement through the SEC’s website, as provided above.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE
The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents instead of having to repeat the information in this prospectus. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and because we are a smaller reporting company, later information that we file with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. We incorporate by reference the documents listed below and any future filings (including those made after the initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement) we will make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act until the termination of the offering of the shares covered by this prospectus (other than information furnished under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K):
| · | Our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025; |
| · | Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025; |
| · | Our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 22, 2025, January 29, 2025, February 18, 2025, and May 7, 2-25; and |
| · | Our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on October 18, 2024. |
As a smaller reporting company, we also are incorporating by reference any future information filed (rather than furnished) by us with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after the date of the initial filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and before the effective date of the registration statement and after the date of this prospectus until the termination of the offering. Any statements contained in a previously filed document incorporated by reference into this prospectus is deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this prospectus to the extent that a statement contained in this prospectus, or in a subsequently filed document also incorporated by reference herein, modifies or supersedes that statement.
We will provide to each person, including any beneficial owner, to whom a prospectus is delivered, at no cost, upon written or oral request, a copy of any or all of the reports or documents that have been incorporated by reference in the prospectus contained in the registration statement but not delivered with the prospectus. You should direct requests for documents to:
Cosmos Health Inc.
141 West Jackson Blvd., Suite 4236
Chicago IL 60604
Attention: Chief Financial Officer
This prospectus is part of a registration statement we filed with the SEC. That registration statement and the exhibits filed along with the registration statement contain more information about us and the shares in this offering. Because information about documents referred to in this prospectus is not always complete, you should read the full documents which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement. You may read and copy the full registration statement and its exhibits at the SEC’s website.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The terms “COSM,” “we,” the “Company,” the “Group” and “us” as used in this report refer to Cosmos Health Inc. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of COSM, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025, or any other period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements filed in our Form 10-K and is included for comparison purposes on the accompanying balance sheet.
Going Concern
The Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the period ended March 31, 2025, the Company had revenue of $
The Company’s revenues are not able to sustain its operations, and concerns exist regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company is subject to a number of risks to those of smaller commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other pharmaceutical and health care companies.
Management evaluated the above conditions which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to determine if it can meet its obligations for the subsequent 12 months from the date of this filing. Management considered its ability to access future capital, curtail expenses if needed, expand product lines, and acquire new products.
Management’s plans include expansion of brand name products to the market, expanding the current product portfolio, and evaluating acquisition targets to expand distribution. The exclusive distribution agreement signed for its Sky Premium Life products in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) and the significant orders already received, are expected to substantially strengthen its operating cash flow. Furthermore, the Company intends to vertically integrate the supply chain distribution network. On top of that, the Company plans to access the capital markets further in order to raise additional funds through equity and/or debt offerings. More specifically, commencing from August 2025, the Company will be eligible to utilize an S-3 registration statement, (12 months following the date that the Company had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”)), to be in a position to raise equity capital more efficiently in conjunction with utilizing potential equity proceeds by its outstanding warrants. Management’s plans also include postponing certain debt repayments, through achieving favorable amendments to its debt facilities and in parallel intends to make substantial efforts to receive additional debt financing. Moreover, the Company’s management is considering of postponing certain repayments of suppliers and creditors. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described herein and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Considering the above, management is of the view that substantial doubt exists for the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During the prior year period, Cana had minimal operations as it was in financial difficulties and seeking for an investor.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, SkyPharm S.A., Decahedron Ltd., Cosmofarm S.A., Cana Laboratories Holdings (Cyprus) Limited and ZipDoctor Inc. The Group’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidation of all entities in which the Company has control, as determined by the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the entities’ economic performance. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Transactions in and Translations of Foreign Currency
The functional currency for the Greek subsidiaries of the Company (CANA Laboratories, Cosmofarm S.A. and SkyPharm SA) is Euro (€) and for the UK subsidiary (Decahedron Ltd) is GBP (£). ZipDoctor Inc. is a U.S. based entity. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries (except for ZipDoctor Inc.) have been translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using (i) year-end exchange rates for balance sheet accounts, and (ii) average exchange rates for the reporting period for all income statements accounts. Foreign currency translations gains and losses are reported as a separate component of the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Effects of War in the Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine. There continues to be sustained conflict and disruption in the region, which is expected to endure for the foreseeable future. We do not conduct any commercial transactions with either Ukraine or Russia and the Company and, as such, is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such political issues and conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if they escalate in areas in which we do business. In addition, changes in and adverse actions by governments in foreign markets in which we do business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Furthermore, amendments ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 provided additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales to its customers and the loans that it has provided. The Company assesses each customer’s/ borrower’s ability to pay, and a credit loss estimate by conducting a credit review which includes consideration of established credit rating, or an internal assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness based on an analysis of their payment history when a credit rating is not available. The Company monitors credit exposure through active review of customer balances. In accordance with ASC 326 and the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) framework, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient available for its trade receivables, which are short-term in nature and do not contain a significant financing component. The Company applies a loss-rate method for calculating expected credit losses (“ECL”) on accounts receivable, based on a combination of historical experience, industry data, and adjustments for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables are grouped into four aging buckets, with loss rates applied as follows: 1% for receivables aged 0–30 days, 2% for receivables aged 31–60 days, 3% for receivables aged 61–90 days, and 5% for receivables aged over 90 days. These loss rates are based on management’s expectations, which are further supported by external benchmarks, due to the Company’s limited history of actual write-offs. The resulting provision for expected credit losses is recognized in net income and is included in “General and administrative expenses”. Receivables that are deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when it is determined that they are no longer recoverable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars, in Greece denominated in Euros, U.S. Dollars and Great Britain Pounds (British Pounds Sterling), and in Bulgaria denominated in Euros. The Company also maintains bank accounts in the United Kingdom, denominated in Euros and Great Britain Pounds (British Pounds Sterling).
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts against gross accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables’ portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $

Tax Receivables
The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”), income taxes, and other taxes within the normal course of its business in most of the countries in which it operates related to the procurement of merchandise and/or services it acquires and/or on sales and taxable income. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, this creates a VAT payable to the government. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable from the government. The VAT tax return is filed on a monthly basis offsetting the payables against the receivables. In observance of EU regulations for intra-EU cross-border sales, our subsidiaries in Greece, SkyPharm and Cosmofarm, do not charge VAT for sales to wholesale drug distributors registered in other European Union member states. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a VAT net receivable balance of $

Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e., packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.
The Company writes down inventories to net realizable value based on physical condition, expiration date, and current market conditions, as well as forecasted demand. The Company’s inventories are not highly susceptible to obsolescence. Many of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to our suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met. No significant judgments have been applied in estimating the selling price of our inventory.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives (except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life) of the assets as follows:
| Estimated Useful Life | |||
Leasehold improvements and technical works |
| |||
Buildings |
|
|
| |
Vehicles |
| |||
Machinery |
| |||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
|
| ||
Computers and software |
|
Depreciation expense was $
Property and Equipment additions
Property and Equipment additions are recognized as assets when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Additions are initially measured at cost, which includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. This may include purchase price, freight, installation, and any directly attributable professional fees. They are capitalized if their cost exceeds a certain threshold. The threshold is determined based on materiality considerations. Costs below the threshold are typically expensed as incurred. After initial recognition, additions are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated systematically over the estimated useful life of the asset. They are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized, and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted accordingly. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, including Property and Equipment additions, are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets.

Intangibles, net
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recorded on the basis of cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a useful life of 5 years for an import/export license and a useful life of 10 years for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products licenses included in Note 4 as “Licenses”. A useful life of 10 years is also used for the platforms included in Note 4 as “Software” and the customer bases. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets annually to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset will be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, no revision to the remaining amortization period of the intangible assets was made.
Amortization expense was $
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, Long-lived Assets, property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company has recorded no impairment charge.

Equity Method Investment
For those investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company records its share in the earnings of the investee and is included in “Equity earnings of affiliate” in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses its investment for other-than-temporary impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable and recognizes an impairment loss to adjust the investment to its then current fair value.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). Equity securities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Equity securities that are readily available for sale in current operations are reported as a component of current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity securities that are not considered available for use in current operations would be reported as a component of long-term assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, the Company elects a measurement alternative to fair value. Under this alternative, the Company measures the investments at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in transactions for identical or similar investments of the investee. The election to use the measurement alternative is made for each eligible investment.
As of March 31, 2025, investments consisted of
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
In addition, ASC 825-10-25, Fair Value Option, (“ASC 825-10-25”), expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
Our financials also included the following financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024: cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, loans receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and lines of credit. Except for the loans receivable which carry fixed interest rates, the carrying value of the remaining instruments, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

Customer Advances
The Company receives prepayments from certain customers for pharmaceutical products prior to those customers taking possession of the Company’s products. The Company records these receipts as current liabilities until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including passing control of the products to its customer, at such point, the Company will reduce the customer advances balance and credit the Company’s revenues.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company uses a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps:
| 1) | Identification of the Contract: The Company identifies a contract with a customer when it enters into an agreement that creates enforceable rights and obligations. |
|
|
|
| 2) | Identification of Performance Obligations: The Company identifies distinct performance obligations within each contract, which represent promises to transfer goods or services to the customer. |
|
|
|
| 3) | Determination of Transaction Price: The Company determines the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer, excluding any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. |
|
|
|
| 4) | Allocation of Transaction Price: The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. If the standalone selling price is not observable, the Company estimates it using an appropriate method. |
|
|
|
| 5) | Recognition of Revenue: Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. This typically occurs at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligation. |
Wholesale revenue and sales of own branded nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products
The Company has contracts or signed partnership forms (usual in the wholesale sector of the pharma industry) with its customers, stipulating the enforceable rights and obligations. The Company is responsible for transferring the goods to the customer’s location, which represents its sole performance obligation. Thus, the transaction price, which is predetermined in most of the products sold, is exclusively allocated to this performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at a single point in time, which is upon issuance of the corresponding sales invoice. The Company has assessed the impact of the items invoiced but not delivered to the customer’s location as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 and deemed that it had no material effect.
Pharma manufacturing
The Company has active contracts with its customers, stipulating the enforceable rights and obligations. The Company is responsible for the manufacturing and the packaging of specific products assigned by its customers, which represents its performance obligations to which the Company allocates the transaction price determined. The customers are responsible for providing the raw materials to the Company. Revenue is recognized over a period of time, which is during the production and packaging period of the respective products. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no products or batches of products for which the production or packaging phase was in progress.
Medihelm SA
Effective January 1, 2023, and pursuant to the distribution agreement with Medihelm SA (“Medihelm”), the exclusive distributor of the Company’s proprietary line of nutraceutical products, the Company determined that the transaction price for sales to Medihelm was variable in nature. In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and specifically ASC 606-10-32-5, the Company applied the “expected value” method to estimate the transaction price, subject to the constraint on variable consideration.
This approach was necessitated by the existence of significant overdue receivables from Medihelm, which raised substantial doubt regarding full collectability of the contractual amounts. The Company reassessed the estimate of the transaction price at each reporting date, considering changes in facts and circumstances.
There was no impact on revenue recognition for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and no further adjustments to variable consideration were necessary.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom The corporate income tax rate is
We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2025, we believe our United Kingdom and Greece deferred tax assets will not be realized, as such, we did not record a reversal on the full valuation approach we followed during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. For all leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The ROU asset represents the Company's right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both measured at the present value of future lease payments. Lease payments are recognized as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset are recognized separately in the income statement. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company in negotiating and securing leases are capitalized and amortized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The assets and liabilities from operating and finance leases are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using the average interest rate of our long-term debt on the date of inception.

Retirement and Termination Benefits
Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to lump-sum compensation in the event of termination or retirement. The amount depends on the employee’s work experience and remuneration as of the day of termination or retirement. If an employee remains with the company until full-benefit retirement, the employee is entitled to a lump-sum equal to 40% of the compensation to be received if the employee were to be dismissed on the same day. The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgments related to the application of the relevant labor law regulations to determine retirement and termination benefits obligations of its Greek subsidiaries. The Company has evaluated the impact of these regulations and has identified a potential retirement and termination benefits liability. The amount of the liability as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was $
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing the income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

Appeal Against Decision 1389/2021 – Eleutheria Drakopoulou
On January 26, 2023, the Company’s appeal against Eleutheria Drakopoulou and Decision No. 1389/2021 of the Single-Member Court of First Instance of Athens was heard at the Athens Court of Appeal. The appeal was partially accepted. The Court ordered the return of the fee to the appellants, dismissed the action against the third defendant (Kozaris), and accepted the action against the first and second defendants (Kastrantas & Cosmofarm). The case was settled in two equal installments by Cosmofarm SA, of €35,000 ($
Pending Lawsuits Against Euaggelismos & Pananikolaou Hospitals
The Company’s subsidiary, Cana Laboratories, has two pending lawsuits against Euaggelismos Hospital for unpaid bills totaling €526,436. A court date has been scheduled for one of the lawsuits on December 11, 2024, while the other remains unscheduled. The matter is currently pending a court decision. Based on legal counsel’s assessment, it is considered highly probable that the losing party will appeal the decision once it is rendered. However, counsel has also indicated that the collection of the full amount awarded to the Company is considered highly probable.
There is also an unasserted claim against Papanikolaou Hospital, for a total sum of €89,300 due to unpaid bills, which will be asserted through a lawsuit. Court date is not set yet. The opinion of our legal advisor is that the success of the case and the collection of the aforementioned amount is probable and as of now negotiations are taking place in the direction of out-of-court settlement.
Both claims have been classified under “Other assets” within non-current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2025.
Employment Dispute – Cana Laboratories
A lawsuit filed on April 5, 2018, by a former employee against the Company’s subsidiary, Cana, before the Athens Court of First Instance, sought the nullification of the termination of employment and compensation for unpaid wages and moral damages. Following multiple appeals, Judgment No. 1192/2024 was issued on September 26, 2023, requiring Cana to reinstate the former employee, with a penalty of €200 per day for non-compliance. According to the Company’s legal counsel, for the penalty to be enforceable, the former employee must file a new lawsuit requesting reinstatement. As of the date of this report, no such lawsuit or request for reinstatement has been received.
Lease Dispute
A lawsuit has been filed against the Company’s subsidiary, Cana, seeking restitution of a leased property, payment of approximately €13,190 in outstanding rent, and €8,488 in compensation for use of the property. The Company has settled the monetary claims in full, rendering that portion of the case moot. However, the claim for restitution of the leased property remains pending and is expected to be accepted by the court.
Claims for Recovery of Receivables
The Company’s subsidiary, Cosmofarm SA, is in the process of initiating legal action to recover approximately €20,301 in unpaid invoices from a certain customer. The hearing is expected to be scheduled in 2026. Based on legal counsel’s assessment, the claim is anticipated to be upheld. In addition, Cosmofarm SA is preparing to file two further lawsuits for the recovery of €15,143 and €15,255, respectively, related to unpaid invoices concerning two customers. Both hearings are expected to be scheduled in 2026, and legal counsel similarly anticipates favorable outcomes in both cases.

Board of Directors of
Cosmos Health, Inc. and subsidiaries
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cosmos Health, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements).

The Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial operating losses and will require additional capital to continue as a going concern. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audits of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cosmos Health Inc. and its subsidiaries (Nasdaq: COSM), (“us”, “we”, the “Group”, or the “Company”) are an international healthcare group headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The Group is engaged in the nutraceuticals sector through its own proprietary lines of products “Sky Premium Life” and “Mediterranation”.

During the prior year period, Cana had minimal operations as it was in financial difficulties and seeking for an investor. Therefore, we consider that presenting prior period pro forma financial information pursuant to ASC 805 would not provide meaningful information.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the year ended period December 31, 2024, the Company had revenue of $
F-42 |
Table of Contents |
COSMOS HEALTH INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company’s revenues are not able to sustain its operations, and concerns exist regarding the Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due. The Company is subject to a number of risks to those of smaller commercial companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent in the development of a commercial market, the need to obtain additional capital, competition from larger companies, and other pharmaceutical and health care companies.
Management evaluated the above conditions which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to determine if it can meet its obligations for the subsequent 12 months from the date of this filing. Management considered its ability to access future capital, curtail expenses if needed, expand product lines, and acquire new products.
Management’s plans include expansion of brand name products to the market, expanding the current product portfolio, and evaluating acquisition targets to expand distribution. The exclusive distribution agreement signed for its Sky Premium Life products in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) and the significant orders already received, are expected to substantially strengthen its operating cash flow. Furthermore, the Company intends to vertically integrate the supply chain distribution network. On top of that, the Company plans to access the capital markets further in order to raise additional funds through equity offerings. More specifically, commencing from August 2025, the Company will be eligible to utilize an S-3 registration statement, (12 months following the date that the Company had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”)), to be in a position to raise equity capital more efficiently in conjunction with utilizing potential equity proceeds by its outstanding warrants. Management’s plans also include postponing certain debt repayments, through achieving favorable amendments to its debt facilities and in parallel intends to make substantial efforts to receive additional debt financing. Moreover, the Company’s management is considering of postponing certain repayments of suppliers and creditors. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described herein and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Considering the above, management is of the view that substantial doubt exists for the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, SkyPharm S.A., Decahedron Ltd., Cosmofarm S.A., Cana Laboratories Holding (Cyprus) Limited and ZipDoctor Inc. The Group’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidation of all entities in which the Company has control, as determined by the ability to direct the activities that significantly affect the entities’ economic performance. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Effects of War in the Ukraine
On February 24, 2022, Russian forces launched significant military action against Ukraine. There continues to be sustained conflict and disruption in the region, which is expected to endure for the foreseeable future. We do not conduct any commercial transactions with either Ukraine or Russia and the Company and, as such, is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such political issues and conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if they escalate in areas in which we do business. In addition, changes in and adverse actions by governments in foreign markets in which we do business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses of Financial Instruments, which amends the requirement on the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. Furthermore, amendments ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11 provided additional clarification for implementing ASU 2016-13. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2023, and the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales to its customers and the loans that it has provided. The Company assesses each customer’s/ borrower’s ability to pay, and a credit loss estimate by conducting a credit review which includes consideration of established credit rating, or an internal assessment of the customer’s creditworthiness based on an analysis of their payment history when a credit rating is not available. The Company monitors credit exposure through active review of customer balances. In accordance with ASC 326 and the Current Expected Credit Loss (CECL) framework, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient available for its trade receivables, which are short-term in nature and do not contain a significant financing component. The Company applies a loss-rate method for calculating expected credit losses (“ECL”) on accounts receivable, based on a combination of historical experience, industry data, and adjustments for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Receivables are grouped into four aging buckets, with loss rates applied as follows: 1% for receivables aged 0–30 days, 2% for receivables aged 31–60 days, 3% for receivables aged 61–90 days, and 5% for receivables aged over 90 days. These loss rates are based on management’s expectations, which are further supported by external benchmarks, due to the Company’s limited history of actual write-offs. The resulting provision for expected credit losses is recognized in net income and is included in “General and administrative expenses”. Receivables that are deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance when it is determined that they are no longer recoverable.
Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Loss
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Euro and British Pound. For financial reporting purposes, both the Euro (“EUR”) and British Pound (“GBP”) have been translated into United States dollars ($ and/or “USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other comprehensive loss. There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of EUR or GBP to USD after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the consolidated results of operations as incurred.

Tax Receivables
The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”), income taxes, and other taxes within the normal course of its business in most of the countries in which it operates related to the procurement of merchandise and/or services it acquires and/or on sales and taxable income. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, this creates a VAT payable to the government. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable from the government. The VAT tax return is filed on a monthly basis offsetting the payables against the receivables. In observance of EU regulations for intra-EU cross-border sales, our subsidiaries in Greece, SkyPharm, CANA and Cosmofarm, do not charge VAT for sales to wholesale drug distributors registered in other European Union member states. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had a VAT net receivable balance of $
Inventories
Inventory is stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e., packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.
The Company writes down inventories to net realizable value based on physical condition, expiration date and current market conditions, as well as forecasted demand. The Company’s inventories are not highly susceptible to obsolescence. Many of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to our suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met. No significant judgments have been applied in estimating the selling price of our inventory.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives (except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life) of the assets as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Property and Equipment additions
Property and Equipment additions are recognized as assets when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Additions are initially measured at cost, which includes all costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. This may include purchase price, freight, installation, and any directly attributable professional fees. They are capitalized if their cost exceeds a certain threshold. The threshold is determined based on materiality considerations. Costs below the threshold are typically expensed as incurred. After initial recognition, additions are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated systematically over the estimated useful life of the asset. They are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized, and the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted accordingly. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets, including Property and Equipment additions, are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, Long-lived Assets, property and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has recorded impairment charge of $
Goodwill and Intangibles, net
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. First, under step 0, we determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. Following, if step 0 fails, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
On December 19, 2018, as a result of the acquisition of Cosmofarm, the Company recorded $

COSMOS HEALTH INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recorded on the basis of cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a useful life of five years for an import/export license and a useful life of ten years for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products licenses included in Note 4 as “Licenses”. A useful life of ten years is also used for the platforms included in Note 4 as “Software” as long as the customer bases. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets annually to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset will be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. As of December 31, 2024, no revision to the remaining amortization period of the intangible assets was made. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded impairment charge of $
Amortization expense was $
Equity Method Investment
For those investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company records its share in the earnings of the investee and is included in “Equity earnings of affiliate” in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses its investment for other-than-temporary impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable and recognizes an impairment loss to adjust the investment to its then current fair value.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). Equity securities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Equity securities that are readily available for sale in current operations are reported as a component of current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity securities that are not considered available for use in current operations would be reported as a component of long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, the Company elects a measurement alternative to fair value. Under this alternative, the Company measures the investments at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in transactions for identical or similar investments of the investee. The election to use the measurement alternative is made for each eligible investment.
As of December 31, 2024, investments consisted of: (i)
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
F-48 |

COSMOS HEALTH INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

In addition, ASC 825-10-25, Fair Value Option, (“ASC 825-10-25”), expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
Our financials also included the following financial instruments as of December 31, 2024: cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, loans receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and lines of credit. Except for the loans receivable which carry fixed interest rates, the carrying value of the remaining instruments, approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Customer Advances
The Company receives prepayments from certain customers for pharmaceutical products prior to those customers taking possession of the Company’s products. The Company records these receipts as current liabilities until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including passing control of the products to its customer, at such point, the Company will reduce the customer advances balance and credit the Company’s revenues. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company had $
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company uses a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps:
| 1) | Identification of the Contract: The Company identifies a contract with a customer when it enters into an agreement that creates enforceable rights and obligations. |
|
|
|
| 2) | Identification of Performance Obligations: The Company identifies distinct performance obligations within each contract, which represent promises to transfer goods or services to the customer. |
|
|
|
| 3) | Determination of Transaction Price: The Company determines the transaction price, which represents the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to the customer, excluding any amounts collected on behalf of third parties. |
|
|
|
| 4) | Allocation of Transaction Price: The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. If the standalone selling price is not observable, the Company estimates it using an appropriate method. |
|
|
|
| 5) | Recognition of Revenue: Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. This typically occurs at a point in time or over time, depending on the nature of the performance obligation. |
Wholesale revenue and sales of own branded nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products
The Company has contracts or signed partnership forms (usual in the wholesale sector of the pharma industry) with its customers, stipulating the enforceable rights and obligations. The Company is responsible for transferring the goods to the customer’s location, which represents its sole performance obligation. Thus, the transaction price, which is predetermined in most of the products sold, is exclusively allocated to this performance obligation. Revenue is recognized at a single point in time, which is upon issuance of the corresponding sales invoice. The Company has assessed the impact of the items invoiced but not delivered to the customer’s location as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and deemed that it had no material effect.
Pharma manufacturing
The Company has active contracts with its customers, stipulating the enforceable rights and obligations. The Company is responsible for the manufacturing and the packaging of specific products assigned by its customers, which represents its performance obligations to which the Company allocates the transaction price determined. The customers are responsible for providing the raw materials to the Company. Revenue is recognized over a period of time, which is during the production and packaging period of the respective products. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no products or batches of products for which the production or packaging phase was in progress.
Medihelm SA
Commencing from January 1, 2023, and pursuant to the agreement with Medihelm, the exclusive distributor of the Company’s own proprietary line of nutraceuticals, the Company considered the transaction price to be variable and records an estimate of the transaction price, subject to the constraint for variable consideration. The Company is basing the change in transaction price with the exclusive distributor through assessment of significant overdue receivables from the exclusive distributor, which the Company reassesses each reporting period. Through this assessment, the Company applied the “expected value” model under ASC 606-10-32-5 and had applied specific constraints to revenue due from the customer at the end of each reporting period. Following the application of the “expected value” model, the Company deferred an amount of $

Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.
The Company had no clients which contributed 10% or more of revenue and accounts receivable, respectively for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom. The corporate income tax rate is
We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2024, we believe our United Kingdom and Greece deferred tax assets will not be realized, as such, we did not record a reversal on the full valuation approach we followed during the period ended December 31, 2023.
Leases
The Company accounts for leases in accordance with ASC 842. For all leases, the Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The ROU asset represents the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, and the lease liability represents the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, both measured at the present value of future lease payments. Lease payments are recognized as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the ROU asset are recognized separately in the income statement. Initial direct costs incurred by the Company in negotiating and securing leases are capitalized and amortized over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The assets and liabilities from operating and finance leases are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using the average interest rate of our long-term debt on the date of inception.

Retirement and Termination Benefits
Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to lump-sum compensation in the event of termination or retirement. The amount depends on the employee’s work experience and remuneration as of the day of termination or retirement. If an employee remains with the company until full-benefit retirement, the employee is entitled to a lump-sum equal to 40% of the compensation to be received if the employee were to be dismissed on the same day. The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgments related to the application of the relevant labor law regulations to determine retirement and termination benefits obligations of its Greek subsidiaries. The Company has evaluated the impact of these regulations and has identified a potential retirement and termination benefits liability. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was $
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Common Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options, warrants and any convertible instruments to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.
The following table summarizes the potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as such shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued final guidance which requires disaggregated disclosures of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The disclosure is required on an annual and interim basis. The guidance also requires the total amount of selling expenses to be disclosed and, on an annual basis, the definition of selling expenses. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Entities are permitted to adopt these disclosure requirements earlier than the mandated dates if they choose to do so. This new guidance will result in increased disclosures in the notes to our financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. The Company has completed its evaluation of this guidance and has implemented the standard. A respective disclosure has been included in Note 19 (Segment Reporting) to the consolidated financial statements.

Companies subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provision (GILTI) have the option to account for the GILTI tax as a period cost if and when incurred, or to recognize deferred taxes for outside basis temporary differences expected to reverse as GILTI. We have elected to account for GILTI as a period cost.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consist of the following:

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had total net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $
ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of NOLs, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company’s history of domestic operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance, on all our deferred tax asset. Management considered all available evidence to when evaluating the realizability of foreign deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and concluded primarily based upon a strong earnings history that these deferred tax assets were more-likely-than-not realizable.

COSMOS HEALTH INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company applied the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in Illinois, United States, and in foreign jurisdictions including Greece and the United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2024, all domestic tax years are open to tax authority examination due the availability of net operating loss deductions, 2010 through 2024. In Greece, the statute of limitations is open for five years, 2018 through 2023. In the United Kingdom, the statute of limitations is open for four years, 2019 through 2023. Currently, there are no ongoing tax authority income tax examinations.

Regulatory License Renewal and Penalty Imposed on SkyPharm S.A.
On July 22, 2015, the National Medicines Agency granted SkyPharm SA a wholesale pharmaceutical license with a five-year validity, expiring on July 22, 2020. On June 15, 2020, SkyPharm timely submitted an application for the renewal of the license.

On March 9, 2021, nearly nine months after the initial renewal application, the National Medicines Agency formally rejected the request (Ref. 62769 / 20-25.02.2021). Furthermore, on December 16, 2021, the Greek National Medicines Organization (EOF) issued Document No. 127351-16.12.2021, stating that an inspection at the premises of Doc Pharma revealed that SkyPharm did not hold a valid wholesale license, which was deemed a violation of Article 106, paragraphs 1(b) and 1(c) of Ministerial Decision D.YG3a / GP.32221 / 29-4-2019. As a result, EOF imposed a fine of €15,000 ($

On January 26, 2023, the Company’s appeal against Eleutheria Drakopoulou and Decision No. 1389/2021 of the Single-Member Court of First Instance of Athens was heard at the Athens Court of Appeal.

The case was settled in two equal installments by Cosmofarm SA, of €35,000 ($
Urban Planning Compensation Claim – Cana Laboratories
In October 2023, the Company’s subsidiary, Cana Laboratories, was approached by an attorney representing two clients seeking compensation of €39,211 related to 34.70 square meters of urban sprawl, for which an Act of Imputation had been issued by the Department of Urban Planning. The Company’s legal counsel has advised that Cana is not obligated to accept the compensatory value as agreed and has suggested exploring an out-of-court settlement. As of the date of this report, the clients’ attorney has not provided further communication.
Pending Lawsuits Against Euaggelismos & Pananikolaou Hospitals
The Company’s subsidiary, Cana Laboratories, has two pending lawsuits against Euaggelismos Hospital for unpaid bills totaling €526,436. A court date has been scheduled for one of the lawsuits on December 11, 2024, while the other remains unscheduled. The matter is currently pending a court decision. Based on legal counsel’s assessment, it is considered highly probable that the losing party will appeal the decision once it is rendered. However, counsel has also indicated that the collection of the full amount awarded to the Company is considered highly probable.
There is also an unasserted claim against Papanikolaou Hospital, for a total sum of €89,300 due to unpaid bills, which will be asserted through a lawsuit. Court date is not set yet. The opinion of our legal advisor is that the success of the case and the collection of the aforementioned amount is probable and as of now negotiations are taking place in the direction of out-of-court settlement.
Both claims have been classified under “Other assets” within non-current assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024.

In addition, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that the no director or officer of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or any of its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer involving any act or omission of any such director or officer; provided, however, that these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer (i) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of the law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers regarding which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with each holder of Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 21,238,256 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of February 28, 2022, as described below. On October 20, 2022, each holder exchanged the existing warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) for new warrants (the “New Warrants”) to purchase twice the number of shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Shares”). The New Warrants are exercisable at $0.12 per share for a seven-year period from the date of issuance. The Company agreed to register all of the Exchange Shares in a resale registration statement to be filed with the SEC within ninety (90) days from the Closing Date. As of December 14, 2022, there were 5,309,564 new Warrants outstanding held by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who has waived the Company’s obligation to register the Exchange Shares by December 31, 2022.
As additional consideration for the Exchange Agreement, the Company paid each Holder up to five hundred thousand ($500,000) U.S. Dollars, plus liquidated damages and interest paid by the Company to the Holders pursuant to a registration rights agreement relating to the initial registration of the shares underlying the Existing Warrants. The total liability amounted to $2,159,300 ($2,000,000 additional consideration plus $159,300 liquidated damages) and the Company has paid the entire liability to the corresponding U.S. Holders. As further consideration for the Exchange Agreement, all Holders shall have, in the aggregate, a thirty (30%) percent right of participation into all equity offerings in which there is a placement agent or underwriter for the eighteen (18) month period following the Closing Date. In the event that any Holder does not exercise its right of participation in any offering, the remaining Holders will not have the right to participate for more than its pro rata share.
On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with certain investors and the Company’s CEO, for a private placement of the Company’s securities (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement consisted of the sale of 6,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series A Shares, at a price of $1,000 per share, and 2,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, or the Warrants, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $6,000,000. The Series A Shares are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock as determined by dividing the number of Series A Shares to be converted by the lower of (i) $3.00 or (ii) 80% of the volume weighted average price for the Company’s Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The holders of Series A Shares are not entitled to receive distributions in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntary or involuntary.
The Company filed its initial registration statement on May 25, 2022 and thus accrued for liquidated damages payable to the Holders in the amount of $187,970, calculated as described above, for both the late filing of the registration statement (event) and the 1st anniversary (30 days following the event date) of the event. Following the effective date of the Company’s registration statement, the Series A Shares conversion price was adjusted to $0.62152. The Company recorded a deemed dividend in the amount of $8,189,515 upon reducing the conversion price from $3.00 to $0.62152 which was recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital and an increase to accumulated deficit.
The Warrants are exercisable to purchase shares of common stock at $3.30 per share, or 110% of the Series A Shares’ initial conversion price and will expire five and one-half years following the initial exercise date of the Warrants. The Company determined that the 2,000,000 warrants are additional value being distributed to the preferred stockholders and presented the warrants’ fair value of $5,788,493 as a deemed dividend in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following terms: (a) exercise price of $3.30, (b) common stock fair value of $3.42, (c) volatility of 118%, (d) discount rate of 1.71%, and (e) dividend rate of 0%. The Company also recorded a deemed dividend in the amount of $8,480,379 upon reducing the conversion price from $3.00 to $0.62152 in order to account for the down-round effect of warrants during the second quarter of 2022. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following terms: (a) exercise price of $3.30, (b) common stock fair value of $1.07, (c) volatility of 107%, (d) discount rate of 2.99%, and (e) dividend rate of 0%.
The closing of the Private Placement occurred on February 28, 2022. As a condition to the closing of the sale, the Company’s common stock received conditional approval for listing and trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market and commenced trading on February 28, 2022, under the trading symbol “COSM.” Concurrent with the issuance of the Series A Shares, the Company executed a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the Series A Shares. The registration statement was declared effective on June 7, 2022. The Company was required to pay an aggregate of $187,970 in liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Series A Shares rank senior to all of the Company’s Common Stock and any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. While the Series A Shares are outstanding, the Company may not amend, alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Shares, create, or authorize the creation of, any additional class or series of capital stock of the Company (or any security convertible into or exercisable for any class or series of capital stock of the Company), including any class or series of capital stock of the Company that ranks superior to or in parity with the Series A Shares, alter, amend, modify, or repeal its Articles of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of Series A Shares, increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of Series A Shares, any agreement, commitment or transaction that would result in a Change of Control, any sale or disposition of any material assets outside of the ordinary course of business of the Company, any material change in the principal business of the Company, including the entry into any new line of business or exit of any current line of business, and circumvent a right or preference of the Series A Shares. Any holder of the Series A Shares has the right by written election to the Company to convert all or any portion of the outstanding Series A Shares. Immediately upon effectiveness of a registration statement registering for sale all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares will automatically convert into Common Stock, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations. As of December 14, 2022, there were no Series A Preferred Shares remaining outstanding.
On December 19, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “December 2022 Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors and existing shareholders of the Company (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers 2,567,450 Common Warrants (the “December 2022 Warrants”). The issuance of the 2022 Warrants was made in a Regulation D private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”) with a registered direct offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-267550), filed with the SEC on September 21, 2022 (the “September 2022 S-3 Shelf Registration Statement”). The 2,567,450 Warrants were fully exercisable immediately upon issuance on December 21, 2022, with an exercise price of $11.50 per share (each a “Warrant Share”) and expire five (5) years from the date of issuance.
On July 20, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “July 2023 Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors and existing shareholders of the Company (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers 1,935,485 Common Warrants (the “July 2023 Warrants”, together with the December 2022 Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”). The issuance of the July 2023 Warrants was also made in a Regulation D private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”) with a registered direct offering, pursuant to the September 2022 S-3 Shelf Registration Statement. The 1,935,485 Warrants were fully exercisable commencing six months from the closing date, July 21, 2023, with an exercise price of $2.75 per share and expire 5.5 years from the date of issuance. The issuance, or resale, of shares of Common Stock underlying the Existing Warrants (or “Warrant Shares”) have been registered pursuant to effective registration statements on Form S-3 dated January 18, 2023 and August 18, 2023, respectively (File Nos. 333-269289 and 333-274093, respectively).
On December 28, 2023, the Company entered into a warrant exchange agreement (the “Warrant Exchange Agreement”) with the Selling Shareholder, holder of certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants issued on July 21, 2023 and December 21, 2022 (the “Existing Warrants”), pursuant to which the Selling Shareholder received new warrants (the “December 2023 New Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,874,126 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “New Warrant Shares”), equal to 200% of the 2,437,063 shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Existing Warrants, in consideration for exercising for cash any and all of such Existing Warrants.
On September 26, 2024, pursuant to an offer to exercise the existing December 2023 New Warrants from the Company to the Holder (the “Warrant Inducement Offer”):
· | the Selling Shareholder received new warrants (the “2024 New Warrants”) to purchase up an aggregate of 9,748,252 shares (the “New Warrant Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, equal to 200% of the 4,874,126 New Warrant Shares issued to the Holder on December 28, 2023; | |
· | In consideration of the issuance of the 2024 New Warrants, pursuant to the Inducement Offer and the Company’s agreement that the December 2023 New Warrants, which were issued more than six (6) months ago, may be exercised without receipt of Stockholder Approval (as defined in the December 2023 New Warrants), the Selling Shareholder paid to the Company the reduced exercise price of $0.8701 per share; | |
· | In consideration for exercising the December 2023 New Warrants, the Company issued to the Selling Shareholder: (i) new unregistered Series A common stock purchase warrants (the “Series A Warrants”), to purchase up to 9,874,126 shares (the “Series A Warrant Shares”) of common stock, equal to 100% of the number of New Warrant Shares; and (ii) new unregistered Series B common stock purchase warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase up to 9,874,126 shares of common stock, equal to 100% of the number of New Warrant Shares. |
The Series A Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the Series A Warrants), and have a term of exercise of five (5) years from the Stockholder Approval Date. The Series B Warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the Stockholder Approval Date (as defined in the Series B Warrants), and have a term of exercise of 18 months from the Stockholder Approval Date. The 2024 New Warrants have an exercise price per share equal to $0.95. In connection with the Inducement Offer, A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”) acted as financial advisor. The 2024 New Warrants and Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the 2024 New Warrants were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Sections 3(a)(9) and 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Selling Shareholder may only sell Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the 2024 New Warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those Warrant Shares, such as the prospectus included in the registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on October 28, 2024, as amended (File No. 333-282859).

Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)1(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
