Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
Note 1 – Description of Business
The Company was incorporated under the name Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc. on August 31, 2006, in the State of Colorado. Effective October 15, 2009, the Company acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Upon completion of the reverse acquisition, the Company changed its name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and began operating as a pharmaceutical company.
Sunshine Biopharma operates two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian corporation with a portfolio of pharmaceutical products consisting of 61 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada, and (ii) Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), a Canadian corporation which develops and sells nonprescription over-the-counter (“OTC”) products.
The Company has determined that it has two reportable segments:
| · | Prescription Generic Pharmaceuticals (“Generic Pharmaceuticals”) | |
| · | Nonprescription Over-The-Counter Products (“OTC Products) |
Through June 30, 2024, sales from the Generic Pharmaceuticals segment
represented approximately
The Company is not subject to material customer concentration risks as it sells its products directly to pharmacies in several Canadian provinces. However, in Canada provincial governments reimburse patients for their prescription drugs expenditures to various degrees under drug reimbursement programs, making generic drugs prices highly dependent on governmental policies which may change over time. The most recent negotiations between the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance and the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association have resulted in updated generic pricing for certain products which took effect on October 1, 2023. The updated prices are valid for three years and the agreement may be extended for an additional two years.
In addition, the Company is engaged in the development of the following proprietary drugs:
| · | Adva-27a, a small chemotherapy molecule for treatment of pancreatic cancer (IND-enabling studies were paused on November 2, 2023) | |
| · | K1.1 mRNA, a lipid nano-particle (LNP) targeted for liver cancer | |
| · | SBFM-PL4, a protease inhibitor for treatment of Coronavirus infections |
| 7 |
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations. Results shown for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2023, was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2024.

The Series B Warrants do not include an alternate cashless exercise provision and can only be exercised for cash so long as the Company’s registration statement for such warrants and underlying shares remains effective.
In addition, the Company granted the underwriter, Aegis Capital Corp. ("Aegis"), a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the total number of shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Series A Warrants and/or Series B Warrants sold in the offering, solely to cover overallotments, if any.

Note 8 – Warrants
The Company accounts for issued warrants either as a liability or equity in accordance with ASC 480-10 or ASC 815-40. Under ASC 480-10, warrants are considered a liability if they are mandatorily redeemable and they require settlement in cash, other assets, or a variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company considers the requirements of ASC 815-40 to determine whether the warrants should be classified as a liability or as equity. Under ASC 815-40, contracts that may require settlement for cash are liabilities, regardless of the probability of the occurrence of the triggering event. Liability-classified warrants are measured at fair value on the issuance date and at the end of each reporting period. Any change in the fair value of the warrants after the issuance date is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as a gain or loss. If warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, in order to conclude warrants should be classified as equity, the Company assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP standard. Equity-classified warrants are accounted for at fair value on the issuance date with no changes in fair value recognized after the issuance date.
In 2022, 2023, and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company completed five (5) financing events, and in connection therewith, it issued warrants as follows:

Note 10 – Lease
The Company has obligations as a lessee for office and warehouse space with initial non-cancellable terms in excess of one year. The Company classified the lease as an operating lease. The lease contains a renewal option for a period of five years. Because the Company is certain to exercise the renewal option, the optional period is included in determining the lease term, and associated payments under the renewal option are included in the lease payments. The Company’s lease does not include termination options for either party to the lease or restrictive financial or other covenants. Payments due under the lease include fixed payments plus a variable payment. The Company’s lease requires it to make variable payments for the Company’s proportionate share of building’s property taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance. These variable lease payments are not included in lease payments used to determine lease liability and are recognized as variable costs when incurred.
Amounts reported on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, were as follows:
| Operating lease ROU asset | $ | |
| Operating lease liability - Short-term | $ | |
| Operating lease liability - Long-term | $ | |
| Remaining lease term | ||
| Discount rate |
Amounts disclosed for ROU assets obtained in exchange for lease obligations and reductions of ROU assets resulting from reductions of lease obligations include amounts reduced from the carrying amount of ROU assets resulting from deferred rent.

Maturities of lease liabilities under non-cancellable operating leases at June 30, 2024 are as follows:

Note 12 – Income Taxes
In calculating the provision for income taxes on an interim basis, the Company uses an estimate of the annual effective tax rate based upon currently known facts and circumstances and applies that rate to its year-to-date earnings or losses. The Company’s effective tax rate is based on expected income and statutory tax rates and takes into consideration permanent differences between financial statement and tax return income applicable to the Company in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The effect of discrete items, such as changes in estimates, changes in rates or tax status, and unusual or infrequently occurring events, is recognized in the interim period in which the discrete item occurs. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the result of new judicial interpretations or regulatory or tax law changes.
Our
income tax (expense) / benefit of $
Our
income tax (expense) / benefit $(
Deferred tax assets are regularly reviewed for recoverability by jurisdiction and valuation allowances are established based on historical and projected future taxable losses and the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences. The Company as recorded valuation allowances against the majority of its deferred tax assets of June 30, 2024, and the Company expects to maintain these valuation allowances until there is sufficient evidence that future earnings can be achieved, which is uncertain at this time.
The Company's consolidated financial statements contain various tax related entries the same being due to the operations of the two Canadian subsidiaries and are in compliance with Canadian tax laws.
Note 13 – Subsequent Events
Effective August 8, 2024, the Company completed a 1-for-20 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”). As a result of the Reverse Split, the exercise price of Series B Warrants adjusted to $2.7879 per share and the number of Series B Warrants adjusted to 13,612,927. All share amounts, warrants, and related parameters specified in this report have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split.
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, the Company issued 53,831 shares of common stock upon the exercise of 53,831 Series B Warrants and received $150,075 in net proceeds.

About Sunshine Biopharma
We are a pharmaceutical company offering and researching life-saving medicines in a wide variety of therapeutic areas, including oncology and antivirals. We operate two wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian corporation with a portfolio consisting of 61 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada, and (ii) Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), a Canadian corporation which develops and sells nonprescription over-the-counter (“OTC”) products.
In addition, we are conducting a proprietary drug development program which is comprised of (i) K1.1 mRNA targeted for liver cancer, (ii) SBFM-PL4, PLpro protease inhibitor for SARS Coronavirus infections, and (iii) Adva-27a for pancreatic cancer. Development of the latter has been paused pending further analysis of unfavorable in vitro results obtained in the second half of 2023. See “Drugs in Development” below.
History
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006, and on October 15, 2009, we acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. held an exclusive license to a new anticancer drug bearing the laboratory name, Adva-27a (the “License Agreement”). Upon completion of the reverse acquisition, we changed our name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and began operating as a pharmaceutical company.
In December 2015, we acquired all worldwide issued (US Patent Number 8,236,935, and 10,272,065) and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 for the Adva-27a anticancer compound and terminated the License Agreement. Development of Adva-27a has recently been paused pending further analysis of unexpected in vitro results obtained in the latter part of 2023. See “Drugs in Development” below.
In early 2020, we initiated a new R&D project focused on the development of a treatment for COVID-19 and on May 22, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States for the new coronavirus treatment. The patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the main Coronavirus protease, Mpro. On April 30, 2021, we filed a PCT application containing new research results and extending coverage to include the Coronavirus Papain-Like protease, PLpro.
In June 2021, we initiated another R&D project in which we set out to determine if certain mRNA molecules can be used as anticancer agents. The data obtained for mRNA molecules bearing the laboratory name K1.1 became the subject of a new patent application filed in April 2022.
On October 20, 2022, we acquired Nora Pharma Inc. (“Nora Pharma”), a Canadian generic pharmaceuticals company based in the greater Montreal area. Nora Pharma has 46 employees and operates in a 23,500 square foot facility certified by Health Canada. Nora Pharma currently has 61 generic prescription drugs on the market in Canada and is planning to launch 32 additional generic prescription drugs in 2024 and 2025.

In addition to the 61 drugs currently on the market, we have 32 additional drugs scheduled to be launched in 2024 and 2025. These new drugs will address various human health areas including cardiovascular, oncology, gastroenterology, central nervous system, diabetes, urology, endocrinology, anti-infective, and anti-inflammatory. Among the new drugs to be launched in 2024 is NIOPEG®, a biosimilar of NEULASTA®. Like NEULASTA®, NIOPEG® is a long-acting form of recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (filgrastim). It is indicated to decrease the incidence of infection in patients with non-myeloid malignancies receiving anti-neoplastic therapy. Nora Pharma received Health Canada marketing approval for NIOPEG® on April 17, 2024. NIOPEG® is anticipated to be on the market in Canada in October 2024.
We believe the addition of these new products to our existing portfolio will strengthen our presence in the Canadian $9.7 billion a year generic drugs market and provide us with greater access to pharmacies as we become more of a go-to supplier for every-day and specialty medicines.
Drugs in Development
The following table summarizes our proprietary drugs in development:
| Drug Candidate | Therapeutic Area | Development Stage | ||
| Adva-27a (Small Molecule) | Oncology (Pancreatic Cancer) | Paused* | ||
| K1.1 (mRNA LNP) | Oncology (Liver Cancer) | Animal Testing | ||
| SBFM-PL4 (Small Molecule) | Antiviral (SARS Coronavirus) | Animal Testing |
_____________
*See “Adva-27a Anticancer Compound” below
Adva-27a Anticancer Compound
Adva-27a is a small molecule designed for the treatment of aggressive forms of cancer. A Topoisomerase II inhibitor, Adva-27a has been shown to be effective at destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer cells including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells and Uterine Sarcoma cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). We are the direct owner of all patents pertaining to Adva-27a including U.S. Patents Number 8,236,935 and 10,272,065.
In December 2022, we entered into a research agreement with the Jewish General Hospital (“JGH”), to conduct the IND-enabling studies of Adva-27a (the “Research Agreement”). In August 2023, we were informed by the JGH that the laboratory test results of the Adva-27a molecule were not favorable. After conclusion of an internal review of the laboratory results on November 2, 2023, we provided notice to JGH of termination of the Research Agreement. We have paused the IND-enabling studies of Adva-27a pending a review of the results and the possibility of chemical modification of the compound to address the suboptimal performance of the molecule in certain studies.
K1.1 Anticancer mRNA
In June 2021, we initiated a new research project in which we set out to determine if certain mRNA molecules can be used as anti-cancer agents. The data collected to date have shown that a selected group of mRNA molecules are capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro including multidrug resistant breast cancer cells (MCF-7/MDR), ovarian adenocarcinoma cells (OVCAR-3), and pancreatic cancer cells (SUIT-2). Studies using non-transformed (normal) human cells (HMEC cells) showed that these mRNA molecules had little cytotoxic effects. These new mRNA molecules, bearing the laboratory name K1.1, are readily adaptable for delivery into patients using the mRNA vaccine technology. In April 2022, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States covering the subject mRNA molecules.
In November 2022, we concluded an agreement with a specialized commercial partner for the purposes of formulating our K1.1 mRNA molecules into lipid nanoparticles (“LNP”) for use to conduct xenograft mice studies. The initial results of our xenograft mice studies indicate that our K1.1 mRNA-LNP is effective at reducing the size of liver cancer xenograft tumors in mice. We are currently seeking to confirm these results by conducting additional xenograft experiments on a broader scale and in more detailed dose-response studies.

SBFM-PL4 SARS Coronavirus Treatment
The initial genome expression products following infection by Betacoronavirus, the causative agent of COVID-19, are two large polyproteins, referred to as pp1a and pp1ab. These two polyproteins are cleaved at 15 specific sites by two virus encoded proteases, called Mpro and PLpro, to generate 16 different non-structural proteins essential for viral replication. Mpro and PLpro represent attractive anti-viral drug development targets as they play a central role in the early stages of viral replication. PLpro is of particular interest as a therapeutic target in that, in addition to processing essential viral proteins, it is also responsible for suppression of the human immune system making the virus more life-threatening. PLpro is present only in Betacoronaviruses, the subgroup of Coronaviruses represented by the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2.
Our Anti-Coronavirus research effort has been focused on developing an inhibitor of PLpro and, on May 22, 2020, we filed a patent application in the United States covering composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the Coronavirus PLpro as well as Mpro.
In February 2022, we expanded our PLpro inhibitors research effort by entering into a research agreement with the University of Arizona for the purposes of conducting research focused on determining the in vivo safety, pharmacokinetics, and dose selection properties of three University of Arizona owned PLpro inhibitors, to be followed by efficacy testing in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2 (the “Research Project”). Under the agreement, the University of Arizona granted us a first option to negotiate a commercial, royalty-bearing license for all intellectual property developed by University of Arizona under the Research Project. In addition, we and the University of Arizona have entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) whereby we were granted a first option to negotiate a royalty-bearing commercial license for the underlying technology of the Research Project. On September 13, 2022, we exercised our options, and on February 24, 2023, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license agreement with the University of Arizona for all of the technology related to the Research Project.
We have recently broadened our objective to include the development of an injectable drug candidate of first-in-class PLpro inhibitor to treat SARS-CoV2 and potentially SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV infection in patients who could not use Paxlovid, Molnupiravir, or Remdesivir, due to concerns about drug interactions and possible ‘rebound’ infections and other side effects.
Intellectual Property
We are the sole owner of all rights pertaining to Adva-27a. These patent rights are covered by PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029. The patent applications filed under these two PCT's have been issued in the United States under US Patent Number 8,236,935 and 10,272,065.
On May 22, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States for a new treatment for Coronavirus infections. Our patent application covers composition subject matter pertaining to small molecules for inhibition of the main Coronavirus protease, Mpro, an enzyme that is essential for viral replication. The patent application has a priority date of May 22, 2020. On April 30, 2021, we filed a PCT application containing new research results and extending coverage to include the Coronavirus Papain-Like protease, PLpro. The priority date of May 22, 2020 has been maintained in the newly filed PCT application.
On April 20, 2022, we filed a provisional patent application in the United States covering mRNA molecules capable of destroying cancer cells in vitro. The patent application contains composition and utility subject matter pertaining to the structure and sequence of the relevant mRNA molecules.
Effective February 24, 2023, we became the exclusive, worldwide licensee of the University of Arizona for three (3) patents related to small molecules which inhibit the Coronavirus protease, PLpro.

Results of Operations
Comparison of results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we generated $9,303,067 in sales, compared to $5,560,865 for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $3,742,202, or 67%. The increase is attributable to expanded marketing and sales efforts by our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma. The direct cost for generating these sales was $6,946,810 (75%) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3,608,118 (65%) for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the cost of goods sold in 2024 is due to increased cost of manufacturing of the generic prescription drugs. Our gross profit grew to $2,356,257 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1,952,747 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
General and administrative expenses during the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, were $3,624,533, compared to $2,966,635 during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $657,898. The increase was due to increases in legal fees ($77,621), marketing ($123,148), office expense ($293,595), R&D ($67,670), and salaries ($356,009). The increase in salaries was due to the hiring of two (2) new employees and a bonus paid to the CEO of the Company. The only expense category that saw a decrease was consulting, which was reduced by $338,406. Overall, we incurred a loss of $1,268,276 from our operations for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $1,013,888 from our operations in the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.
In addition, we had interest income of $143,995 during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net interest income of $203,049 during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as a result of less interest earned on cash on hand.
As a result, we incurred a net loss of $494,300 ($9.94 per share) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $902,108 ($71.17 per share) for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.
Comparison of results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023
During the six months ended June 30 2024, we generated revenues of $16,844,113, compared to revenue of $10,454,918 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $6,389,195, or 61%. The increase is attributable to increased sales generated by our wholly owned subsidiary, Nora Pharma. The direct cost for generating these revenues was $12,133,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 (72%), compared to $6,674,049 (64%) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the cost of goods sold in 2024 is due to an increase in the cost of manufacturing of generic prescription drugs. Our gross profit increased to $4,710,594 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a gross profit of $3,780,869 for the same period in 2023.
General and administrative expenses during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, were $7,378,640, compared to $6,660,398 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $718,242. The increase was a result of increases in accounting ($195,369), legal ($185,862), marketing ($193,281), and office costs ($734,868). The three expense categories that saw a decrease were salaries ($110,536), consulting ($422,620) and R&D ($143,222). Overall, we incurred a loss of $2,668,046 from our operations in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a loss from operations of $2,879,529 in the similar period of 2023.
In addition, we had interest income of $288,084 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to interest income of $416,930 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was due to the Company having less cash on hand.
As a result, we incurred a net loss of $1,778,101 ($43.48 per share) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $2,604,538 ($218.62 per share) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $11,507,745.
Net cash used in operating activities was $7,762,942 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $5,628,146 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The increase was a result of increased business activities by Nora Pharma.
Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,210,944 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $405,779 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was the result of cash invested in Nora Pharma to finance increase in inventory and expansion of product line.
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $5,369,566 during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $3,519,672 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily a result of the approximately $10 million financing event completed in February 2024, compared to an approximately $5 million financing event completed in May 2023.
We are not generating adequate revenues from our operations to fully implement our business plan as set forth herein. We believe our existing cash on hand will be sufficient to fund our pharmaceuticals sales operations and research and development activities for the next 24 months. There is no assurance our estimates will be accurate. We currently have no committed sources of capital and we anticipate that we will need to raise additional capital in the future, including for further research and development activities and possibly clinical trials, as well as expansion of our generic pharmaceuticals operations. Additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For a detailed list of significant accounting policies, please see our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, including our financial statements and notes thereto included therein as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2024.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which amends the effective date of the original pronouncement for smaller reporting companies. ASU 2016-13 and its amendments will be effective for the Company for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company believes the adoption will modify the way the Company analyzes financial instruments, but it does not anticipate a material impact on results of operations. The Company is in the process of determining the effects adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815 – 40), (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU2020-06 amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its unaudited consolidated financial statements.
