Item 1. Business

 

Company Overview

 

Cosmos Holdings Inc. ("us", "we", or the "Company") is a multinational pharmaceutical wholesaler. The Company imports, exports and distributes pharmaceutical products of brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, a variety of dietary and vitamin supplements. Currently, the Company distributes products mainly in the EU countries via its two wholly owned subsidiaries Skypharm SA and Decahedron Ltd. SkyPharm operates from its facilities in Greece and Decahedron from its facilities in the UK. Most of our business derives from purchasing and reselling branded pharmaceutical products. Large pharmaceutical manufacturers have variable pricing strategies within the EU. The varying prices allow us to source products produced by multi-national pharmaceutical companies in different countries throughout Europe and export them into countries that pay more for those products.

 

Our core operations were focused on expanding the business of SkyPharm and Decahedron. The Company’s focus is primarily on branded pharmaceutical and some generic pharmaceuticals. The Company has also begun to expand into the food supplements industry and has already created its own line of vitamins and food supplement products. The Company plans to also expand its operations into the cosmetic/beauty industry. Through the sale of pharmaceutical products, the Company has created a wide network of pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacies that we believe we can utilize to promote and sell our vitamins, food supplements and cosmetic/beauty products. There is growing demand for various food supplements and other cosmetic and beauty products. We plan to serve this demand by offering quality products to our existing network of wholesalers and pharmacies. Pharmacies are still the key channels for distribution and sales of food supplements in the European market.

 

In addition, we expanded into the full-line wholesale distribution business through the December 2018 acquisition of Cosmofarm Ltd. Full-line pharmaceutical wholesalers provide the local markets with branded pharmaceuticals, generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, vitamins, and food supplements. By expanding our pharmaceutical distribution business, we expect to have the ability to source branded and generic products directly from manufacturers and sell vitamins, food supplements, and cosmetic products directly to pharmacies that the full-line wholesalers currently sell. We expect this expansion to increase our sales and profit margins as we vertically integrate into the supply chain.

 

Concerning our vitamins and food supplement division, we have expanded our business in developing our own brand of vitamins and food supplements. The brand name of our product line is Sky Life Premium. We have a contract with Doc Pharma S.A. to develop and manufacture the products according to our specifications. Doc Pharma S.A is considered a related party to the Company due to the fact that the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of Doc Pharma is the wife of Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder, who also served as a principal of Doc Pharma SA in the past. Sales of our own brand of nutraceuticals began in the fourth quarter of 2018. Our current business has provided us with access to wholesalers both from the sourcing and the sales division of our wholesale business. We intend to sell our products to vendors that supply us with pharmaceutical products as well as to our clients to whom we currently sell pharmaceutical products.

 

We are also closely monitoring the legal framework for prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products as it develops in Europe. As the legal framework and processes are developed and implemented in each respective EU country, we will utilize our existing network to distribute both prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products to our current customer base. We currently intend to only distribute prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products to approved EU countries and not in the US. The Company intends to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market.

We regularly evaluate acquisition targets that would allow us to expand our distribution reach and/or vertically integrate into the supply chain of the products that we currently distribute. We believe that the demand for reasonably-priced medicines, delivered on time and in the highest quality is set to increase in the years to come, as the population’s life expectancy increases. With our product portfolio of patented and non-patented medicines, we contribute to the optimization of efficient medicinal care, and thereby lowering cost for health insurance funds, companies, and patients. We also believe that the demand for non-prescription wellness products such as food and dietary supplements will continue to increase as individuals are increasingly supplementing their nutritional intake.

 

We believe the EU pharmaceutical import/export market will continue to grow. We continue to encounter competition in the market as we grow. The competition comes in the form of level of service, reliability, and product quality. On the procurement side we continue to expand our vendor base. In order to minimize business risks, we diversify our sources of supply. We maintain our high-quality standards by carefully selecting and qualifying our suppliers as well as actively ensuring that our suppliers meet our standard of quality control on an ongoing basis.

 

As of July 22, 2015, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and more specifically the National Organization for Medicines granted to SkyPharm a license for the wholesale of pharmaceutical products for human use. The license is valid for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C343/02). SkyPharm is subject to the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices of the European Union (the “Good Distribution Practices”) for the sale and distribution of medical products for human use. SkyPharm believes it has properly incorporated all the methodologies, procedures, processes and resources in order to be in accordance with the guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices. Our warehouse has been equipped with the proper equipment, specifically with the proper shelves, working tables, medicines, cold fridge and barcode machines to comply with all requirements. The Company commenced sales of pharmaceutical products in the beginning of November 2015.

 

Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on November 7, 2013, 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 provision 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.

 

Business Environment

 

The Company conducts its business within the pharmaceutical industry and is active in both branded and generic pharmaceutical product markets. The pharmaceutical industry is a highly competitive and is subject to comprehensive government regulations. Many factors may significantly affect the Company’s sales of its products, including, but not limited to, efficacy, safety, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control and quality assurance. Currently, most of the products that the Company is trading, compete with other products already on the market in the same therapeutic category, and are subject to potential competition from new products that competitors may introduce in the future.

 

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 started operating within the Health Products & Food Supplement industry markets in October 2017. These specific industries are highly competitive, and many factors may significantly affect the Company’s sales of its products, including, but not limited to, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control and quality assurance. Currently, the Company has added food supplements into the portfolio of products that it wholesales to its clients. The Company has also developed and began selling its own brand of food supplements under the brand name Sky Life Premium.

 

Corporate Strategy

 

The main strategy initiative is focused on continuing our progress in becoming a global pharmaceutical wholesale and import/export company through the development of a lean and efficient operating model, we are committed to serving our customers while continuing to innovate and provide products that make a difference in the lives of individuals. We strive to maximize our shareholders’ value by adapting to market realities and customer needs. Our strategy involves building a multinational network or wholesalers, distributors, and pharmacies and simultaneously continuing to expand the portfolio of products that we distribute to that network.

 

We are committed to driving organic growth at attractive margins by improving execution, optimizing cash flow and leveraging our strong market position, while maintaining a streamlined cost structure throughout each of our businesses. We continue to further align our organization to our customer’ needs in a more seamless and unified way, while supporting corporate strategy and accelerating growth. Implementing this disciplined, focused strategy has allowed us to significantly expand our business, and we believe we are well-positioned to grow revenue and increase operating income through the execution of the following key elements of our business:

 

 

·

Optimize and Grow Our Pharmaceutical Sourcing and Distribution Businesses. We believe we are well-positioned in size and market breadth to continue to grow our trading businesses as we invest to improve our operating and capital efficiencies. Sourcing and distribution, including specialty pharmaceuticals, anchors our growth and position in the pharmaceutical supply channel as we provide superior services and deliver value-added products, which improve the efficiency and competitiveness of healthcare providers, thus allowing the pharmaceutical supply channel to better deliver healthcare to patients.

 

 

 

·

Branded Pharmaceuticals: Branded pharmaceutical products are the primary product category that we import and export. We constantly evaluate product availability, pricing, demand trends, and patent expirations to maximize our performance. As the patents for branded products near expiration, the generic equivalents enter the market place and the demand for those branded products start to decrease. We monitor these cycles closely and always look to find value in pricing fluctuations caused by the patent expirations as the generic equivalents enter the market.

     

·

Generic Pharmaceuticals: Generic pharmaceutical products are the secondary product category that we import and export. We apply the same discipline to generics that we do to the branded. We evaluate the demand and supply dynamics of branded products as their patents expire. This insight sheds light on the demand of generic products that take their place. Understanding the historical and market specific characteristics of generic product demand provides insight that we use to give guidance to our vendors that source our generic drug exports.

     

·

Health Products & Food Supplements: The wholesale distribution of food supplements offer greater margins than pharmaceutical product distribution. We are always looking to expand the portfolio of products that we distribute to maximize our margins. We also convenience our customers by providing them a larger portfolio of products that they can source from a single vendor. In addition to being wholesalers for food supplements and related products we also created our own brand of products to sell to our current customer base. Our wholesale business gives insight to what products are in demand and we communicate with our customer base to identify which products to develop. We have a contract with Doc Pharma to develop and manufacture the products according to our specifications. Doc Pharma S.A is considered a related party to the Company due to the fact that the CEO of Doc Pharma is the wife of Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder, who also served as a principal of Doc Pharma SA in the past. Sales of our own brand of nutraceuticals began in the fourth quarter of 2018. Our own branded nutraceuticals carry significantly higher margins than simply serving as a wholesaler for other brands.

·

Research & Development: We are committed to strategic R&D across each business unit with a particular focus for food supplements with inherently lower risk profiles and clearly defined regulatory pathways. We are constantly evaluating the demand for food supplements in the markets that we currently distribute pharmaceutical products to. This research and analysis determine which food and nutritional supplements we choose to develop as well as their formulations. This approach maximizes the probability of successfully competing with other brands in the marketplace.

     

·

Acquisitions: We regularly evaluate acquisition targets that would allow us to expand our distribution reach and/or vertically integrate into the supply chain of the products that we currently distribute. In addition to focusing on organic growth drivers, we are also actively pursuing accretive acquisitions that offer long-term revenue growth, margin expansion through synergies, and the ability to maintain a flexible capital structure.

 

 

 

·

Cannabis derived products: We closely monitor the legal framework for prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products as it develops in Europe. As the legal framework and processes are developed and implemented in each respective EU country, we will utilize our existing network to distribute both prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products to our current customer base. We currently intend to only distribute prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products to approved EU countries and not in the US.

 

 

 

·

Local & Direct to Pharmacy Wholesale: We are expanding into the full-line wholesale distribution business through acquisition. Full-line pharmaceutical wholesalers provide the local markets with branded pharmaceuticals, generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, vitamins and food supplements. By expanding our pharmaceutical distribution business, we will have a better ability to source more branded and generic products directly from manufacturers and sell our vitamins, food supplements and cosmetic products directly to pharmacies for better prices. We expect this expansion to increase our sales and profit margins as we vertically integrate into the supply chain.

 

To successfully execute our corporate strategy, we believe that the Company must adopt, incorporate and maintain the aforementioned core strengths, although no assurances can be made that the Company will be able to effectively implement these strategies.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

The majority of our products are represented directly and indirectly through a dedicated sales force team. Our sales force targets mainly wholesale distributors and other healthcare providers. We sell our products principally through independent wholesale distributors, but we also sell directly to other healthcare providers such as; clinics, government agencies, independent retail and specialty pharmacies and independent specialty distributors. Customer service representatives are centralized in order to respond to customer needs in a timely and effective manner.

Products & Services

 

The current principal activity of SkyPharm is the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines across the European Union member states. SkyPharm operates as a buyer from wholesale pharmaceutical companies and as a reseller to other companies. The principal activity of Decahedron is the same as the business of SkyPharm. It is the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines across mainly the European Union member states. Decahedron buys from pharmacies and other wholesale pharmaceutical companies and resells these products mainly to other EU countries. We purchase excess inventories at a discount from wholesalers and export approximately 11,000 pharmaceutical product codes and EU member states capturing contract price differentials in the process. The Company only purchases stock with purchase orders at hand, limiting inventory risk. EU countries have put into force new legal frameworks and mandates that boost the parallel trade market in order to deflate healthcare pricing across the region. We have over 160 clients and vendors in Germany, UK, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, Sweden Hungary, UAE, Singapore, Indonesia, Jordan, Greece and Bulgaria.  The parallel pharmaceutical trade in the EU was approximately €5.5 bn in fiscal 2016 according to The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations. “The Pharmaceutical Industry in Figures,” Brussels EFPIA 2017. The major parallel exporting countries are Greece, Czech Republic and Slovakia, while major importing countries are Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy and Netherlands. Thus, SkyPharm and Decahedron are each an operator and the mechanism between the supply and demand sides in the wholesale market. The Company could be characterized as the middle ring of this distribution channel.

 

The operational business life cycle performed by the Company could be described as follows:

 

a.

Searching and analyzing within market the demand and price of medicines;

b.

Demand list placement by the clients including specific medicines, volumes and prices;

c.

Research availability of the demanded medicines in the market;

d.

Choosing the appropriate supplier based upon available medicines and volumes;

e.

Order placement by the client;

f.

Checking control of the relevant authorities;

g.

Purchase of the medicines from the wholesaler;

 

h.

Assortment and storage of the medicines in the Company's facilities;

i.

Packaging the medicines according to the buyer's order list;

j.

Delivery of the medicines to clients facilities; and

k.

Direct payment for the shipment.

 

We believe that the entire aforementioned product life cycle would take approximately six weeks to two months, from the demand list to the payment for the shipment with an average gross profit of 7.5%.

 

Our subsidiaries SkyPharm and Decahedron trade over 400 different types of pharmaceutical products with the principal products being the following:

We are formulating a broader and more diversified pharmaceutical product portfolio and a greater selection of targets for potential development. We target products with limited competition for reasons such as trading complexity or the market size, which make our pharmaceutical products a key growth driver of our portfolio and complementary to other product offerings.

 

On September 30, 2018, the Company sold 100% of the share capital of Amplerissimo was, the former owner of SkyPharm which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cosmos Holdings, to an unaffiliated third party. The information technology business of Amplerissimo is not a priority of the Company and we are not currently pursuing such business. The Company is focusing its efforts in expanding the pharmaceutical trading was not a priority of the Company. The Company had no interest in pursuing such business.

 

Customers

 

Through our subsidiaries, SkyPharm and Decahedron, we primarily sell pharmaceutical products directly to a limited number of large wholesale drug distributors who, in turn, supply-sell the products to other wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, governmental agencies across the European Union member states. Total revenues from the customers that accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2018 & 2017 are as follows:

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 in 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 or otherwise earned outside 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 including.

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.

 

Suppliers

 

We obtain pharmaceuticals and over the counter pharmaceutical products directly from manufacturers and other wholesalers of pharmaceutical products, three of which set forth below, each accounted for more than 10% of our purchases in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The loss of a supplier could adversely affect our business if alternate sources of supply are unavailable since we are committed to be the primary source of pharmaceutical products for a majority of our customers. We believe that our relationships with our suppliers are strong. The 10 largest suppliers in fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 accounted for approximately 80% of our purchases.

Competition

 

Our pharmaceutical businesses are conducted in intensely competitive and often highly regulated markets. Many of our trading 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 the value of our trading products is a critical factor for success in all of our principal businesses.

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Information Systems

 

The Company operates its full-service wholesale pharmaceutical distribution facilities in the Europe on one primary enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system that provides for, among other things, electronic order entry by customers, invoice preparation and purchasing, and inventory tracking. We are currently making significant investments to enhance and upgrade the ERP system.

 

Additionally, we are improving our entity-wide infrastructure environment to drive efficiency, capabilities, and speed to market. We will continue to invest in advanced information systems and automated warehouse technology. For example, in an effort to comply with future pedigree and other supply chain custody requirements we expect to continue to make significant investments in our secure supply chain information systems.

 

The Company processes a substantial portion of its purchase orders, invoices, and payments electronically. However, it continues to make substantial investments to expand its electronic interface with its suppliers. The Company has integrated warehouse operating system, which are used to manage the majority of transactional volume. The warehouse operating system has improved the distribution services productivity and operating leverage.

 

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, delays in approving or refusal to approve a pharmaceutical product.

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.

Our 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 retained earnings deficit currently limits our ability to pay dividends.

 

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock should our stock ever be traded on a public market. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We do not have any equity compensation plans.

Presentation of Information

Overview

 

On September 27, 2013, the Company closed a reverse take-over transaction pursuant to which it acquired a private company whose principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various industries. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Company and Amplerissimo Ltd. ("Amplerissimo"), a company incorporated in Cyprus, we acquired 100% of Amplerissimo's issued and outstanding common stock. On November 14, 2013, we changed our name to Cosmos Holdings Inc. and changed our focus and business strategy to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.

 

The Company, through its subsidiaries, is operating within the pharmaceutical industry and in order to compete successfully in the healthcare industry, must demonstrate that its products offer medical benefits as well as cost advantages. Currently, most of the products that the Company is trading, compete with other products already on the market in the same therapeutic category, and are subject to potential competition from new products that competitors may introduce in the future.

 

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and subject to comprehensive government regulations. Many factors may significantly affect the Company’s sales of its products, including, but not limited to, efficacy, safety, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control and quality assurance as well as our research and development of new products.

We are currently focusing our existing operations on expanding the business of our subsidiaries, SkyPharm (Greece) and Decahedron (UK), in order to become an international pharmaceutical company. The Company’s focus will be on Branded Pharmaceuticals, Over-the-Counter (OTC) medicines, and Generic Pharmaceuticals. The Company also intends to expand into Cosmetic-Beauty Products as well as Food Supplements and targets areas where we can build and maintain a strong position. The Company has already created its own line of vitamins and food supplement products under the brand name Sky Life Premium and targets areas where it can build and maintain a strong position. The Company uses a differentiated operating model based on a lean, nimble and decentralized structure, with an emphasis on acquisitions of established companies and our ability to maintain better pharmaceutical assets than others. This operating model and the execution of our corporate strategy are designed to enable the Company to achieve sustainable growth and create added value for our shareholders. In particular, we look to enhance our pharmaceutical and over-the-counter product lines by acquiring or licensing rights to additional products and regularly evaluate selective company acquisition opportunities.

 

As of July 22, 2015, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and more specifically the National Organization for Medicines granted the license for the wholesale of pharmaceutical products for human use to SkyPharm. The license is valid for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C 343/01) the Company is subject to fulfill the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices of medical products for human use. The Company has already incorporated the methodologies, procedures, processes and resources in order to be in accordance with the guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices. In 2016, the Company leased and equipped additional office space for our subsidiary SkyPharm in Thessaloniki, Greece in order to facilitate its growing business activity. The warehouse was already equipped with the proper shelves, working tables, medicine, cold fridge and barcode machines in compliance with all regulations.

 

On May 20, 2016, the Company entered into a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding with Doc Pharma SA to purchase the company for a combination of cash and stock to be agreed upon. Doc Pharma S.A is considered a related party to the Company due to the fact that the CEO of Doc Pharma is the wife of Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder, who also served as a principal of Doc Pharma SA in the past. Doc Pharma is a pharmaceutical manufacturer with production facilities in Athens, Greece, certified under Good Manufacturer Practices (GMP). The company owns numerous licenses of generic medicines and uses its own network of pharmaceutical sales representatives to communicate its products with doctors. The company also trades prototype medicines, food supplements and cosmetics. Closing of the transaction is subject to execution of definitive exchange agreements, a full audit of Doc Pharma, satisfactory completion of due diligence of Doc Pharma, tax and legal consideration and other customary closing conditions. The Memorandum of Understanding expired on December 31, 2016, and has not been formally renewed or extended, however is being pursued.

On November 17, 2016, Cosmos Holdings Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Decahedron SPA”) with Decahedron and the shareholders of Decahedron. The Company consummated this transaction on February 10, 2017. The terms of the Decahedron SPA provided that the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Decahedron.

As of October 3, 2017, the Company, entered into a Research & Development agreement with Doc Pharma S.A., a pharmaceutical manufacturer with production facilities in Athens, Greece, certified under Good Manufacturer Practices (GMP). The agreement outlines the development and contract manufacturing of Cosmos Holdings' complete line of Nutraceutical Products.

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain institutional investors (the “Buyers”) with which it had no prior relationship, pursuant to which the Company issued for a purchase price of $3,000,000, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into 670,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $5,00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share (the “Warrants”.)

 

On August 25, 2017, we received shareholder and board approval for a reverse stock split of our common stock on the basis of issuing one (1) share of common stock in exchange for each ten (10) shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On November 21, 2017, the reverse stock split was made affective by FINRA. On November 21, 2017, the Company effected a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split whereby the Company decreased, by a ratio of one-for-ten (1:10) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, and warrants including all share and per-share data, for all amounts and periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. All share and per share date in this Report gave retroactive effect to the reverse stock split unless otherwise noted.

 

On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) and completed the financing with two institutional investors who had previously purchased $3,350,000 principal amount of senior convertible notes in November 2017 (the “November Notes”) as amended in February 2018 and September 2018. The Company issued, for a $2,000,000 purchase price, $2,233,333 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) convertible into 372,223 shares of Common Stock at $6.00 per share and five-year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 357,334 shares of common stock exercisable at $7.50 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $1,845,000 after deduction of offering costs. See “Debt Obligations - Senior Convertible Notes” below.

 

On September 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Abbydale Management Limited, an unaffiliated third party incorporated in Belize. The Company sold one hundred (100%) percent of the issued share capital of its subsidiary, Amplerissimo Ltd., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Cypress, to the purchaser for a purchase price of €5,000 ($5,811). Amplerissimo had previously transferred one hundred (100%) percent of the capital stock of Sky Pharm SA to the Company. The information technology business of Amplerissimo is not a priority of the Company and the Company decided to not pursue such business.

 

Acquisition - Cosmofarm Ltd.

 

On December 19, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of all of the capital stock of Cosmofarm Ltd., a pharmaceutical wholesaler based in Athens, Greece. The principal of the selling shareholder is Panagiotis Kozaris, who remained with Cosmofarm as a director and chief operating officer once it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO, became the new CEO of Cosmofarm. Mr. Kozaris had no prior relationship to the Company other than as an independent shareholder. The purchase price payable is €200,000 evidenced by a promissory note. Closing of the acquisition was subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence, delivery of audited and interim financial statements of Cosmofarm subject to being audited by PCAOB auditors, no material adverse change in the business or financial condition of Cosmofarm, all necessary consents and approvals to complete the acquisition have been obtained and other customary closing conditions.

 

Cosmofarm’s primary activity as a pharmaceutical wholesaler is the distribution of pharmaceuticals (mainly prescription), OTC products and nutraceuticals to a growing network of over 320 pharmacies and 14 wholesalers primarily located in the greater Athens, Greece region. Cosmofarm consistently invests in upgrading automation capacity. Cosmofarm operates a fully automated ROWA (German pharmacy robotics) robotic warehouse system that ensures 0% error selection rate and accelerates the distribution process while ensuring higher cost-efficiency from local competitors. To boost cost-efficiency and better facilitate its growing operations, the Company is in the process of relocating to a larger building. Cosmofarm also seeks to expand its current operations automation investments by acquiring fully-integrated order management systems and additional robotic logistics over equipment.

Flexible/adaptive credit policies is a major differentiator in capturing additional pharmacies. By methodically screening clients and closely managing cash flow, Cosmofarm has been able to grow its network while keeping debt levels low. In yielding high cost-efficiency, automated warehouse management systems enables the company to be in a position to choose to offer discounts in a growing customer network. Cosmofarm actively targets and captures pharmacies that achieve high-volume sales of OTC products and nutraceuticals which are among the fastest growing categories.

 

Results of Operations

 

Year ended December 31, 2018 versus December 31, 2017

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company had a net loss of $9,060,658 on revenue of $37,083,882, versus a net loss of $6,209,768 on revenue of $30,013,378, for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Revenue

 

Revenue during the Company's twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018, increased by 24% as compared to revenues in the period ended December 31, 2017. This increase is mainly because of the organic growth attributed to our subsidiary, SkyPharm, which continued the development of sales even more aggressively during the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as through the additional revenue from our subsidiary, Decahedron, based in the United Kingdom of England.

 

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 Revenue

 

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, we had direct costs of revenue of $34,675,242 associated to cost of goods sold versus $28,057,111 from the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Cost of revenue year over year increased by 24%.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2,408,640 compared with the $1,956,267 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Gross profit increased by $452,373 or 23% from the prior fiscal year. The increase in the gross profit was primarily due to the increase of Company’s main revenue source of trading, sourcing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

 

Operating Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had general and administrative costs of $3,593,132 and depreciation and amortization expense of $43,930 for a net operating loss of $1,228,422. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we had general and administrative costs of $4,852,801, depreciation and amortization expense of $25,903 and goodwill impairment of $1,949,884 for a net operating loss of $4,872,321

 

The approximate 47% decrease in operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2018, versus the prior year ended, is primarily due to the acquisition of Decahedron and the fact that 100% of the goodwill acquired, or $1,949,884, was fully impaired in the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, there was a 78% decrease in consulting expenses primarily due to the Company having expensed $1,137,793 in prepaid consulting and advisory fees in the year ended December 31, 2017. Consulting, auditing and accounting expenses consistently constitute a critical bulk of operating costs for the activities of the Company.

Interest Expenses

 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we had interest expense of $967,824, non-cash interest expenses of $5,839,581 related to the fair value of warrants for services, extinguishment of debt and the amortization of debt discount and $264 of interest related to loans from related parties versus the year ending December 31, 2017 where we had interest expense of $748,474, non-cash interest expenses of $886,483 related to the fair value of warrants for services and the amortization of debt discount and $2,592 of interest related to loans from related parties.

 

Unrealized Foreign Currency losses

 

Additionally, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation gain of $1,418,057 for the year ended December 31, 2018 such that our net comprehensive loss for the period was $7,642,601 versus the unrealized foreign currency loss of $334,766 such that our net comprehensive loss for the period was $6,544,534 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had a net loss of $9,060,658 for the year ended December 31, 2018, and had an accumulated deficit of $16,272,645 as of December 31, 2018. The Company has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by sale of common shares. 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 in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,927,074 versus a working capital deficit of $4,192,984 as of December 31, 2017. This decrease in the working capital deficit is primarily attributed to the Company’s investment in ICC (f/k/a KBB) in the year ended December 31, 2018. 

 

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had net cash of $864,343 versus $782,853 as of December 31, 2017. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities was $1,155,306 versus $8,760,141 net cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The Company has devoted substantially all of its cash resources to apply its investment program to expand through organic business growth and, where appropriate, the execution on selective company and license acquisitions, and incurred significant general and administrative expenses to enable it to finance and grow its business and operations.

 

During the twelve months period ended December 31, 2018, there was $195,772 net cash used in investing activities versus $14,479 used in during the year ended December 31, 2017. This was primarily due to the increased purchase of fixed assets by SkyPharm and Cosmofarm offset by cash received in the acquisition of Cosmofarm.

During the twelve months period ended December 31, 2018, there was $1,988,302 of net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities versus $9,291,089 provided by financing activities during the twelve months period ended December 31, 2017.

 

We believe that our current cash in our bank account and working capital as of December 31, 2018 will satisfy our estimated operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, the Company will require additional financing in fiscal year 2019 in order to continue at its expected level of operations and potential acquisitions. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, it may be forced to curtail its development activities.

 

We anticipate using cash in our bank account as of December 31, 2018, cash generated from the operations of the Company and its operating subsidiaries and from debt or equity financing, or from loans from management, to the extent that funds are available to do so to conduct our business in the upcoming year. Management is not obligated to provide these or any other funds.

Senior Convertible Notes

 

On September 4, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) and completed the financing with two institutional investors who had previously purchased $3,350,000 principal amount of senior convertible notes in November 2017 (the “November Notes”) as amended in February 2018 and September 2018, as set forth hereinafter. The Company issued, for a $2,000,000 purchase price, $2,233,333 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) convertible into 372,223 shares of common stock at $6.00 per share and five-year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 357,334 shares of common stock exercisable at $7.50 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $1,845,000 after deduction of offering costs. On December 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Third Amendment and Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which the conversion price of the Notes was reduced to $3.478 per share solely with respect to an aggregate of $1,333,333.33 of indebtedness which was then converted. The remaining balance of $261,903 was repaid on January 1, 2019.

 

No interest shall accrue under the Notes unless and until an Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and is not cured and will then accrue at 18% per annum. As of the date of this prospectus, no such event of default has occurred. Subject to the Blocker (as defined below), the Company pre-delivered up to 372,223 shares of common stock to the holders. Eighty-five percent (85%) of any cash proceeds received by the holders of the Notes from the sale of pre-delivery shares issued as collateral shall be applied against the particular installment amount then due. The Notes are pari passu in right of payment to the November Notes and senior to all existing and future indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness which includes $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing loan agreement described herein, plus defined amount of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

 

In the event of an issuance of common stock for a consideration less than the Conversion Price (other than Excluded Securities, as defined) the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price of the dilutive issuance (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (as defined) regardless of whether such event has been cured, the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature at intrinsic value and has recorded $934,922 to debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

Events of Default, none of which have occurred as of the date of this prospectus, are defined under the Notes to include among others: (i) failure to pay principal, interest, late charges or any other amounts when due after any applicable cure period, under the Notes or any other instrument delivered in connection with the transaction; (ii) any default of at least $75,000 of indebtedness other than with respect to the Note and/or the entry of a final judgment concerning the foregoing; (iii) any bankruptcy, liquidation or other similar proceeding not dismissed within thirty (30) days of its initiation, or any voluntary bankruptcy or similar proceeding commenced by the Company or any subsidiary, or an admission in writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (iv) the entry by a court of a decree, order, judgment or similar document in respect of the Company or any subsidiary of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or similar proceeding; (v) any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of any document in connection with this transaction except if curable, the breach remains uncured for two consecutive trading days; (vi) a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the SPA) occurs; (vii) failure to meet filing and effectiveness deadlines concerning this registration statement; (viii) failure to convert the Notes or deliver underlying common stock on a timely basis; (ix) suspension from trading or listing of the common stock for five consecutive trading days; (x) failure to reserve at least 150% of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and/or exercise of the Warrants; and (xi) any Event of Default occurs with respect to the November Notes which was exchanged in February for new notes.

The Notes provide that upon an Event of Default, the Buyers may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the Event of Default has been cured) all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent, multiplied by the greater of the conversion rate and the then current market price. The Buyers may also require redemption of the Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent.

 

The Warrants have a five-year term and are exercisable into 357,334 shares of common stock beginning May 1, 2019 or six months after the issue date. The Warrants are exercisable at $7.50 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection (see above). As of the date of filing of this registration statement, there were no anti-dilution trigger events. The Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis if a registration statement is not effective covering the resale of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company calculated the warrants at relative fair value of approximately $910,078, which was recognized as a discount to the Notes and is being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Notes.

 

Conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants are each subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting or exercising, as applicable, the Notes or the Warrants, into shares of common stock if its beneficial ownership of the common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (each, a “Blocker”).

 

A registration statement (No. 333-227813), covering one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the maximum number of shares, underlying the Notes and Warrants, was declared effective by the SEC on November 1, 2018.

 

As a condition to the closing of the Financing, each Buyer, severally, executed a leak-out agreement (each, a “Leak-Out Agreement”) restricting such Buyer’s sale of shares of common stock underlying the Notes and Warrants on any Trading Day to not more than such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the greater of (x) sales with net proceeds of an aggregate of $20,000 or (y) twenty-five (25%) percent of the daily average trading volume of the Company’s common stock. If after the closing of the Financing there is no Event of Default under the Notes, the VWAP of the Company’s common stock for three (3) trading days is less than $1.50 per share, the Company may further restrict the Buyers from selling at less than $1.50 per share; provided that the portion of the Notes subject to redemption on each Installment Date shall thereafter double.

 

Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent received a cash commission for this transaction of $140,000, equal to seven (7%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase seven (7%) percent of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in this offering (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any Warrants issued to investors, or 26,056 shares); however, will receive seven (7%) percent of any cash proceeds received from the exercise of any Warrants sold in the offering with an expiration equal to or less than twenty-four (24) months. The Warrants are exercisable six (6) months after the date of issuance, or March 4, 2019.

 

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with two institutional investors pursuant to which the Company issued on November 16, 2017, for a $3,000,000 purchase price, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) convertible into 670,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share and five-year Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of common stock exercisable at $7.50 per share. Pursuant to the above-described Third Amendment dated December 12, 2018, 536,000 warrants were exchanged for new warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 727,683 shares of common stock. The Company received net proceeds of $2,686,000 after deduction of offering costs. On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate Amendment and Exchange Agreements (“Exchange Agreements”) with the two institutional investors for new senior convertible notes (“New Notes”) in exchange for existing notes. Each New Note is identical in all material respects to the Existing Note, except that (i) the New Note shall not be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) until April 20, 2018, (ii) all future cash installment payments under such New Note will be made at a redemption price equal to 112% of the applicable installment amount, (iii) the Company’s existing obligation to initially deliver pre-delivery shares of its common stock to the holder of such New Note was deferred until April 20, 2018, and (iv) at any time on or before June 20, 2018, the Company had the right, at its option, to redeem all, or any part, of the amounts then outstanding under such New Note in cash at redemption price equal to 125% of such amounts then outstanding under such New Note. The Company will repay the principal amount of the Notes in equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until February 1, 2019 (as last amended on September 27, 2018). The remaining balance was repaid on February 1, 2019. No interest shall accrue under the Notes unless and until an Event of Default (as defined) has occurred and is not cured. Eighty-five percent (85%) of any cash proceeds received by the holders of the Notes from the sale of pre-delivery shares issued as collateral shall be applied against the particular installment amount then due. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness which includes $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under the above described Synthesis loan agreements, plus defined amount of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions. A registration statement (No. 333-222061) covering one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the maximum number of shares (subject to SEC limitations) was declared effective by the SEC on May 14, 2018.

Plan of Operation in the Next Twelve Months

 

Specifically, our plan of operations for the next 12 months is as follows:

 

We are planning to develop and expand our business through organic growth and at the same level through the acquisition of carefully targeted companies that are operating in the pharmaceutical industry and would add value to our Company and its shareholders. Our organic growth would be driven by entering into new markets and areas where we can sell and distribute a more profitable series of pharmaceutical product and over the counter products and nutraceuticals. We are committed to capitalizing on sales growth opportunities by increasing our customer pipeline across the European Market and entering into countries outside the European Union.

 

We are also committed to pursuing various forms of business development; this can include trading, alliances, licenses, joint ventures, dispositions and acquisitions. Moreover, we hope to continue to build on our portfolio of pharmaceutical products and expand our product pipeline to generic and nutraceutical products. Thus, we plan to formulate a sound sales distribution network specializing in generic as well as in cosmetics and food supplement products.

 

Our main objective is expanding the business operations of our current subsidiaries, SkyPharm and Decahedron by concentrating our efforts on becoming an international manufacturing, trading and distribution pharmaceutical company. The Company's focus is on branded pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and generics, with plans to expand its food supplements and to target areas where we can build and maintain a strong position.

 

Through our subsidiary, Decahedron, we plan to penetrate into the English pharmaceutical market and expand our wholesale networks. We could utilize the ability of trading pharmaceutical products in and out of the English market according to the FX currency exchange rate of euro to English pounds.

 

We view our business development activity as an enabler of our strategies, and we seek to generate earnings growth and enhance shareholder value by pursuing a disciplined, strategic and financial approach to evaluating business development opportunities. Under these principles we assess our businesses and assets as part of our regular, ongoing portfolio review process and continue to consider trading development activities for our businesses.

 

The Company, in the following twelve months, intends to start its business operation within the food supplements market, as well as substantially grow its business operations within the generic pharmaceutical products market. These industries are highly competitive and may significantly affect the Company's sales of these products, including, but not limited to, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control and quality assurance.

 

Changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of pharmaceutical and healthcare products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of doctor visits and foregoing healthcare insurance coverage, may impact the Company's business.

In addition to expanding our product portfolio we also plan to evaluate offering our products and services to different geographical markets. We are currently focused on to our customers throughout the European Union. We plan on expanding our geographical reach to new eras outside the European Union market, although we currently have no binding agreements, commitments or contracts in any of these geographical markets. Some of the methods we will use to accomplish this are: promoting our brand and marketing our products and services through the Internet to new geographic areas, creating strategic relationships with companies in the new geographical regions, and possibly acquiring companies that operate in new geographical regions. We anticipate that we will spend $70,000 evaluating the different methods and regions to which we plan to expand. This cost is made of up primarily legal fees, consulting fees, accounting and auditing fees as well as related development expenses. We assess the foreseeable development of a target as being positive.

 

We expect to continue growing through expansion into adjacent products, product categories and channels, as well as through entry into new geographic markets. We evaluate potential acquisition targets based on whether they have the capacity to deliver a return on invested capital.

 

As to potential acquisitions, we are targeting companies that are operating primarily in the pharmaceutical sector and within the European Union boarders. SEC filing requirements are such that we will have to file audited financial statements of all our operations, including any acquired business. So, we plan that our first step in any potential acquisition process we undertake is to ascertain whether we can obtain audited financials of a company if we were to acquire them. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $500,000 to locate, conduct due diligence, and evaluate possible acquisitions. As noted above, as of the date of this report, we do not have any binding agreements, commitments, or understandings with any potential acquisition candidates.

 

The pharmaceutical sector offers a large growth potential within the European pharmaceutical market, if service, price and quality are strictly directed to-wards the customer requirements. We will continue to encounter the competition in the market by product, service, reliability and a high level of quality. On the procurement side we can access a wide range of supply possibilities. To minimize business risks we diversify our sources of supply all over Europe. We secure our high-quality demands through careful supplier qualification and selection as well as active suppliers’ system management.

 

We assess the foreseeable development of the Company as being positive. Over the medium term we assume that we will be able to further expand our market shares. However, during the course of further organizational optimization there may be associated extraordinary additional costs.

 

We still see the risks for the future development in a difficult and competitive environment, increasing purchase prices and the stagnating selling price level. On the background of our financial stability we however see ourselves as being well-equipped for managing the future risks. Risks that could endanger the survival of the Company are currently not able to be identified.

 

We will evaluate and, where appropriate, execute on opportunities to expand our businesses through the acquisition of products and companies in areas that will serve patients and customers and that we believe will offer above average growth characteristics and attractive margins. In particular, we are looking to continue to enhance our product lines by acquiring or licensing rights to additional products and regularly evaluate selective acquisition and license opportunities. In addition, we remain committed to strategic R&D across each business unit with a particular focus on assets with inherently lower risk profiles and clearly defined governmental regulatory pathways.

 

Significant Equipment

 

We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment for the next twelve months aside from a few pieces of IT equipment. Nevertheless, we will replace essential equipment for operations if it is required within the year.

 

Employees

 

In order to achieve our strategic objectives, we have, and will remain, focused on hiring and retaining a highly skilled management team that has extensive experience and specific skill sets relating to the sales, selection, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. We intend to continue our efforts to build and expand this team as we grow our business. We have plans to increase the number of our employees by adding more sales people during the next twelve months.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted the modified retrospective adoption in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018. The new guidance introduces a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the promised goods to the customer. Once these steps are met, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product. Adoption of ASC 606 has not changed the timing and nature of the Company’s revenue recognition and there has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2018, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most "critical accounting polices" in the Management 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.

 

Foreign Currency. The Company requires translation of the Amplerissimo financial statements from euros to dollars since the reverse take-over on September 27, 2013. 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. 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 the Republics of Cyprus, Greece and the United Kingdom of England. The corporate income tax rate in Cyprus is 12.5%, 29% in Greece, (tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013 (prior to 2013, losses were carried forward indefinitely) and 20% in the United Kingdom of England. 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.

 

 
30
 
Table of Contents

 

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 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 Holdings Inc., which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the Republic of Cyprus. 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 the Republic of Cyprus.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities“ and ASU 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 contained a number of changes which are applicable to the Company including the following: (1) requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; and (2) allows equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes in observable prices (referred to as the “measurement alternative”); ASU 2018-03 also clarified certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01, including requiring a prospective transition approach for equity investments without readily determinable fair value in which the measurement alternative is applied. ASU 2016-01 does not apply to investments accounted for using the equity method, investments in consolidated subsidiaries, FHLB stock, and investments in low income housing tax credit projects. The ASU also eliminated the requirement to classify equity investments into different categories such as “Available-for-sale.” The adoption of this standard on did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test in the event that there is evidence of an impairment based on qualitative or quantitative assessments. ASU 2017-04 does not change how the goodwill impairment is identified, and the Company will continue to perform a qualitative assessment annually to determine whether the two-step impairment test is required. Until the adoption, current accounting standards require the impairment loss to be recognized under Step 2 of the impairment test. This requires the Company to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning fair value to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit has been acquired in a business combination, then subsequently subtracting the implied goodwill from the carrying amount of the goodwill. The new standard would require the Company to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and subtract the carrying value from the fair value of the reporting unit to determine if there is an impairment. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company for fiscal years after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-04 is required to be adopted prospectively, and the adoption is effective for annual goodwill impairment tests performed in the year of adoption. The adoption of this standard on did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as an acquisition of assets or a business. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year commencing on January 1, 2018. The effect of this guidance is to be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 did have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. The changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, is required with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company expects this ASU will increase its current assets and current liabilities but have no net material impact on its 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 financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Cosmos Holdings, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Cosmos Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

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 suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. 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 the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

               

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2019.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit 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. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Cosmos Holdings, Inc. (“us,” “we,” or the “Company”) is an international pharmaceutical wholesaler. The Company imports, exports and distributes pharmaceutical products of brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, a variety of vitamins, and dietary supplements. Currently, the Company distributes products mainly in the European Union (“EU”) countries via its three wholly owned subsidiaries Skypharm SA, Decahedron Ltd. and Cosmfarm Ltd.  SkyPharm and Cosmofarm operates from facilities in Greece and Decahedron from its facilities in the UK. Most of our business derives from purchasing and reselling branded pharmaceutical products. Within the EU, large pharmaceutical manufacturers have variable pricing strategies. The varying prices allows us to source products produced by multi-national pharmaceutical companies in different countries throughout Europe and export them into countries that pay more for those products. The European pharmaceutical import/export market helps reduce prescription drugs costs.

 

We are currently focusing our existing operations on expanding the business of SkyPharm, Decahedron and Cosmofarm. The Company’s focus is on branded pharmaceuticals, OTC medicines, and generic pharmaceuticals. However, the Company has also begun to expand into the food supplements industry and has already created its own line of vitamins and food supplement products. The Company plans to also expand its operations into the cosmetic/beauty industry. Through the sale of pharmaceutical products, the Company has created a wide network of pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacies that we believe we can utilize to promote and sell our vitamins, food supplements and cosmetic/beauty products. There is growing demand for various food supplements and other cosmetic and beauty products and we plan to serve this demand by offering quality products to our existing network of wholesalers and pharmacies. Pharmacies are still the key channels for distribution and sales of food supplements in the European market.

 

In addition, we plan to expand into the full-line wholesale distribution business through acquisitions. Full-line pharmaceutical wholesalers provide the local markets with branded pharmaceuticals, generic pharmaceuticals, OTC medicines, vitamins, and food supplements. By expanding our pharmaceutical distribution business, we will have the ability to source branded and generic products directly from manufacturers and sell vitamins, food supplements, and cosmetic products directly to pharmacies that the full-line wholesaler currently sells to. We expect this expansion to increase our sales and profit margins as we vertically integrate into the supply chain.

 

Concerning our vitamins and food supplement division, we have expanded our business in developing our own brand of vitamins and food supplements. The brand name of our product line is Sky Life Premium. We will bring these products to market though the network of wholesalers and pharmacies that we currently work with. Our current business has provided us with access to wholesalers both from the sourcing and the sales division of our wholesale business. We intend to sell our products to vendors that supply us with pharmaceutical products as well as to our clients that we currently sell pharmaceutical products to.

 

We are also closely monitoring the legal framework for prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products as it develops in Europe. As the legal framework and processes are developed and implemented in each respective EU country, we will utilize our existing network to distribute both prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products to our current customer base. We currently intend to only distribute prescription and non-prescription derivates of cannabis products to approved EU countries and not in the US.

 

We regularly evaluate acquisition targets that would allow us to expand our distribution reach and/or vertically integrate into the supply chain of the products that we currently distribute. We believe that the demand for reasonably-priced medicines, delivered on time and in the highest quality is set to increase in the years to come, as the population’s life expectancy increases. With our product portfolio of patented and non-patented medicines, we contribute to the optimization of efficient medicinal care, and thereby lowering cost for health insurance funds, companies, and patients. We also believe that the demand for non-prescription wellness products such as food and dietary supplements will continue to increase as individuals are increasingly supplementing their nutritional intake.

 

We believe the EU pharmaceutical import/export market will continue to grow. We continue to encounter competition in the market as we grow. The competition comes in the form of level of service, reliability, and product quality. On the procurement side we continue to expand our vendor base. In order to minimize business risks, we diversify our sources of supply. We maintain our high-quality standards by carefully selecting and qualifying our suppliers as well as actively ensuring that our suppliers meet our standard of quality control on an ongoing basis.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

 

As of July 22, 2015, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and more specifically the National Organization for Medicines granted to SkyPharm a license for the wholesale of pharmaceutical products for human use. The license is valid for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C343/02). SkyPharm is subject to the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices of the European Union (the “Good Distribution Practices”) for the sale and distribution of medical products for human use. SkyPharm believes it has properly incorporated all the methodologies, procedures, processes and resources in order to be in accordance with the guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices. Our warehouse has been equipped with the proper equipment, specifically with the proper shelves, working tables, medicines, cold fridge and barcode machines to comply with all requirements. In addition, our headquarters have also been equipped with the proper office equipment, specifically with the bureau tables, chairs and the terminals for each one working station, as well as central hardware systems (Servers) and software programs (ERP & CRM platforms) that are essential for the efficient running of the business are already installed and in place. The Company commenced sales of pharmaceutical products in the beginning of November 2015.

 

Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on November 7, 2013, 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 provision 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.

 

Corporate History and Structure

 

Cosmos Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. on July 21, 2009. On November 14, 2013, we changed our name to Cosmos Holdings Inc.

 

On September 27, 2013, the Company, closed a reverse take-over transaction by which it acquired a private company whose principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement between the Registrant and Amplerissimo Ltd, a company incorporated in Cyprus (“Amplerissimo”), the Company acquired 100% of Amplerissimo’s issued and outstanding common stock. As a result of the reverse take-over transaction, Amplerissimo became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

On August 1, 2014, the Company, through its Cypriot subsidiary Amplerissimo, formed SkyPharm S.A., a Greek corporation (“SkyPharm”), a subsidiary that focuses on the trading, sourcing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.

 

In February 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Decahedron Ltd, a UK corporation (“Decahedron”) consummating the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 17, 2016 as amended (the “Decahedron SPA”). Pursuant to the terms of the Decahedron SPA, the shareholders of Decahedron received an aggregate of 170,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”), which were delivered following the closing in exchange for all of the ordinary shares of Decahedron for the stock consideration. Decahedron is a fully licensed wholesaler of pharmaceutical products and its primary activity is the distribution, import and export of pharmaceuticals. In accordance with the terms of the SPA, the principal and majority shareholder of Decahedron, Nicholas Lazarou, remained as a director and officer of Decahedron.

 

On November 21, 2017, the Company effected a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split whereby the Company decreased, by a ratio of one-for-ten (1:10) the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, and warrants including all share and per-share data, for all amounts and periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

 

On September 29, 2018, Amplerissimo transferred its remaining 22% investment in SkyPharm to the Company. The Company now holds 100% of the capital of SkyPharm and SkyPharm remains a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On September 30, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement “SPA” with an unaffiliated third party. The Company sold 100% of the issued capital of its subsidiary, Amplerissimo.

 

On December 19, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of all of the capital stock of Cosmofarm Ltd., a pharmaceutical wholesaler based in Athens, Greece.  The principal of the selling shareholder is Panagiotis Kozaris, who remained with Cosmofarm as a director and chief operating officer once it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO, became the new CEO of Cosmofarm.  Mr. Kozaris had no prior relationship to the Company other than as an independent shareholder.  The purchase price payable is €200,000 evidenced by a promissory note. 

 

The Company had $37,083,882 in total revenues and expended $34,675,242 for the year ended December 31, 2018, in connection with these operations.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company generated a net loss of $9,060,658 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has a working capital deficit of $3,927,074 and an accumulated deficit of $16,272,645 as of December 31, 2018. These conditions raise substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

 

In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by sale of common shares. 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 in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

 

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. As of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were no cash equivalents.

 

The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars and in the Republic of Cyprus, in Greece and in Bulgaria all of which are denominated in Euros. Additionally, the Company maintains a bank account in the United Kingdom denominated in British Pounds. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the amounts in these accounts were $242,903, $203,806 (the Euro equivalent of which was €177,903) and $119,357 (the British Pound equivalent of which was £93,872). At December 31, 2017, the amounts in these accounts were $65,613, $398,841 (the Euro equivalent of which was €331,759) and $27,542 (the British Pound equivalent of which was £20,358). Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $166,350 and $290,857, respectively.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts against gross accounts receivable 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. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts was $540,048 and $0, respectively. 

 

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 December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had a VAT net receivable balance of $729,790 and $961,220 respectively, recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as other assets.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the weighted average cost 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, 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.

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided 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

 

40 years

Vehicles

 

6-20 years

Machinery

 

20 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

5–10 years

 

Computers and software

 

3-5 years

  

Depreciation expense was $34,623 and $17,370 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets

 

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. 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. At December 31, 2018, no revision to the remaining amortization period of the intangible assets was made.

 

Amortization expense was $9,307 and $8,533 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, long-lived assets, which include 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.

Goodwill and Intangibles

 

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. Specifically, 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.

 

Prior to the acquisition of Decahedron, the Company had no recorded goodwill. As a result of the acquisition of Decahedron, the Company tested and impaired 100% of the goodwill allocated to the acquisition costs, an amount equal to $1,949,884 for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

On December 19, 2018 as a result of the acquisition of Cosmofarm, the Company recorded $49,697 of goodwill. The Company tested the goodwill acquired and determined that no impairment was required as of December 31, 2018.

 

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

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, and accordingly, investments in equity securities are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in income from operations. 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 use 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.

 

Investments consisted of 40,000 shares which traded at a closing price of $5.27, or value of $210,790 of Diversa S.A. and 16,666 share which traded at a closing price of $0.13 or value of $2,100 of National Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Company has $4,470 in equity securities of Pancreta bank, which are not publicly traded and recorded at cost.  See note 5 for additional investments in equity securities.

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company applied FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or 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.

 

The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2018, on a recurring basis:

FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted the modified retrospective adoption in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018. The new guidance introduces a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the promised goods to the customer. Once these steps are met, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product. Adoption of ASC 606 has not changed the timing and nature of the Company’s revenue recognition and there has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC section 718, "Stock Compensation" and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 (SAB 107) issued by the SEC in March 2005 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 Merton Option Pricing Model.

 

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees".

 

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

 

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 earnings.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.

 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 carry forwards. 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 of England. The corporate income tax rate is 29% in Greece (tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013) and 20% in United Kingdom of England. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

  

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, 2018 the Company has maintained a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction in which it is subject to income tax.

 

The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgments related to the application of complex income tax regulations to determine income tax liabilities in several jurisdictions. The Company uses a “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the income tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and establishing measurement criteria for income tax benefits. The Company has evaluated the impact of these positions and due to the fact that the fiscal years 2013 - 2014 are unaudited by the Greek tax authorities, a potential tax liability has been identified, which may arise from a prospective tax audit from tax authorities, based on the tax settlement note of years 2007 - 2009. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2018, was $145,504, and has been recorded as a long-term liability within the balance sheet.

 

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 renumeration 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 judgements 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, 2018, was $23,340, and has been recorded as a long-term liability within the balance sheet.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders 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 shareholders 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” and ASU 2018-03, “Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 contained a number of changes which are applicable to the Company including the following: (1) requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; and (2) allows equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes in observable prices (referred to as the “measurement alternative”); ASU 2018-03 also clarified certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01, including requiring a prospective transition approach for equity investments without readily determinable fair value in which the measurement alternative is applied. ASU 2016-01 does not apply to investments accounted for using the equity method, investments in consolidated subsidiaries, FHLB stock, and investments in low income housing tax credit projects. The ASU also eliminated the requirement to classify equity investments into different categories such as “Available-for-sale.”  The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), which simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the current goodwill impairment test in the event that there is evidence of an impairment based on qualitative or quantitative assessments. ASU 2017-04 does not change how the goodwill impairment is identified, and the Company will continue to perform a qualitative assessment annually to determine whether the two-step impairment test is required. Until the adoption, current accounting standards require the impairment loss to be recognized under Step 2 of the impairment test. This requires the Company to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning fair value to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit has been acquired in a business combination, then subsequently subtracting the implied goodwill from the carrying amount of the goodwill. The new standard would require the Company to determine the fair value of the reporting unit and subtract the carrying value from the fair value of the reporting unit to determine if there is an impairment. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company for fiscal years after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2017-04 is required to be adopted prospectively, and the adoption is effective for annual goodwill impairment tests performed in the year of adoption. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as an acquisition of assets or a business. ASU No. 2017-01 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year commencing on January 1, 2018. The effect of this guidance is to be applied prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by most leases on the balance sheet. The changes become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020. Modified retrospective adoption for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, is required with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company expects this ASU will increase its current assets and current liabilities, but have no net material impact on its 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 financial statements. 

 

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION OF DECAHEDRON, LTD.

 

On February 10, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition pursuant to the Decahedron SPA acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of Decahedron, a United Kingdom company. Decahedron is a pharmaceuticals wholesaler which specializes in imports and exports of branded and generic pharmaceutical products within the EU and around the world. At closing, the Company acquired 100% of Decahedron’s outstanding shares and in exchange for 170,000 shares of Cosmos common stock valued at $1,479,000 (the “Acquisition”).

 

The Company recognized cash of $40,858 acquired in the acquisition. The Company recognized the remaining Decahedron assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities measured as of the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price for Decahedron has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as capitalizable intangible assets, such as the license held by Decahedron for the wholesale of pharmaceuticals in the United Kingdom and Europe, the remainder has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible.

The purchase price exceeded the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired by $1,949,884 which was recorded as Goodwill. Goodwill represents the difference between the total purchase price for the net assets purchased from Decahedron and the aggregate fair values of tangible and intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed. At the conclusion of the acquisition, goodwill was reviewed for impairment and it was determined that indicators of impairment existed.

 

As of December 31, 2017, after our assessment of the totality of the events that could impair goodwill, it was the Company’s conclusion “it is more likely than not” that the Goodwill was impaired. As a result of the Company’s assessment, 100% of the goodwill of $1,949,884 was recorded as an impairment of goodwill.

 

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF COSMOFARM, LTD.

 

On December 19, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition pursuant to the Cosmofarm SPA acquiring 100% of the outstanding shares of Cosmofarm, a pharmaceutical wholesaler based in Athens, Greece.  Cosmofarm is a fully licensed wholesaler of pharmaceutical products and its primary activity is the sourcing, procuring, and distributing branded and generic medicines, over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals, food supplements, and medical devices. At closing, the Company acquired 100% of Cosmofarm’s outstanding shares and in exchange for a non-interest-bearing promissory note, due in one-year, in the amount of €200,000 (the “Acquisition”).

 

The Company recognized cash of $307,590 acquired in acquisition. The Company recognized the remaining Cosmofarm assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities measured as of the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price for Cosmofarm has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represent non-capitalizable intangible assets, such Cosmofarm’s tradename and customer base.  The remainder of the excess has been allocated to goodwill.

NOTE 5 – INVESTMENTS

 

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 Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement is to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five (5) years of the agreement. The 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 fails to meet certain performance milestones. The Company is entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000. The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors.

COSMOS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

  

Since Marathon is 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. As described below, the Company exchanged the Marathon shares in May and July 2018.

 

Share Exchange Agreements

 

On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) with Marathon, ICC International Cannabis Corp (“ICC”) formerly known as Kaneh Bosm Biotechnology Inc. (“KBB”) and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock. Under the SEA, the Company transferred 2.5 million shares in Marathon to ICC, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a public reporting issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange, in exchange for 5 million shares of ICC. The Company accounted for the exchange at fair value and recognized a gain on exchange of its investment in Marathon of $1,953,000 included in “Gains on exchange of equity investments” in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

On July 16, 2018, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “New SEA”) with Marathon, ICC, and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock whereby the Company transferred its remaining one-half interest (2.5 million shares) in Marathon to KBB for an additional 5 million shares of ICC. The Company accounted for the exchange at fair value and recognized a gain on exchange of its investment in Marathon of $2,092,200 included in Gains on exchange of equity investments in the consolidated statements of operations. The ten million shares of ICC owned by the Company constitute approximately 7% of the 141,219,108 shares of capital stock of KBB then issued and outstanding. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over ICC.

 

The Company determined the fair value of both exchanges based on an actively quoted stock price of ICC received in exchange for the Marathon shares. The Company continues to fair value its investment in ICC with changes recognized in earnings each period and recorded an unrealized loss on exchange of investment during the year ended December 31, 2018 of $1,545,200 such that the net gain at the end of the period is $2,500,000.

 

Since no value was attributed to the 33 1/3% equity ownership interest in Marathon received as consideration for the distribution services, the Company would receive variable consideration in future for its services under the Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement, if certain milestones are achieved. Refer to Note 9 for the accounting associated with the cash of CAD $2 million received upfront. Variable consideration to be received in the future upon achieving the gross sales milestones described above, is constrained as the Company estimates that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue could occur. In assessing the constraint, the Company considered its limited experience with the Products, new geographic markets and similar transactions, which affect the Company’s ability to estimate the likelihood of a probable revenue reversal. Therefore, no revenue has been recognized for the period ended December 31, 2018. The Company will continue to reassess variable consideration at each reporting period and update the transaction price when it becomes probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

  

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”), was signed into law by President Trump. The Act includes a number of provisions, including the lowering of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018 and the establishment of a territorial-style system for taxing foreign-source income of domestic multinational corporations. In December 2017, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Act (“SAB118”), which allows us to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment. The Company remeasured its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017, applying the reduced corporate income tax rate and recorded a provisional decrease to the deferred tax assets of $181,881, with a corresponding adjustment to the valuation allowance. In the fourth quarter of 2018, we completed our analysis to determine the effect of the Tax Act and there were no material adjustments as of December 31, 2018.

 

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:

At December 31, 2018, the Company had U.S. net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,422,876 that may be offset against future taxable income, subject to limitation under IRC Section 382. Of the $2.4 million, of Federal net operating loss carryforwards, $2.2 million begin to expire in 2031. The remaining balance of $.2 million is limited in annual usage of 80% of current year’s taxable income, but do not have an expiration. At December 31, 2018, the Company had Greece net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $847,896 that may be offset against future taxable income which begin to expire in 2019. At December 31, 2018, the Company had United Kingdom net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $847,896 that may be offset against future taxable income part or all of which may not be available to offset our future taxable income in the United Kingdom should there be a change in the nature or conduct of our business in the United Kingdom within the three years subsequent to the date of our acquisition of Decahedron. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2018 or 2017 consolidated financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the benefit, based on a more likely than not criteria and in consideration of available positive and negative evidence. 

 

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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On the date of our inception, we issued 2 million shares of our common stock to our three officers and directors which were recorded at no value (offsetting increases and decreases in Common Stock and Additional Paid-in Capital).

On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into two separate Amendment and Exchange Agreements (“Exchange Agreements”) with the Buyers for new senior convertible notes (“New Notes”) in exchange for existing notes. Each New Note is identical in all material respects to the Existing Note, except that (i) the New Note was not convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) until April 20, 2018; (ii) all future cash installment payments under such New Note will be made at a redemption price equal to 112% of the applicable installment amount; (iii) the Company’s existing obligation to initially deliver pre-delivery shares of its common stock to the holder of such New Note was deferred until April 20, 2018; and (iv) at any time on or before June 20, 2018, the Company had the right, at its option, to redeem all, or any part, of the amounts then outstanding under such New Note in cash at a redemption price equal to 125% of such amounts then outstanding under such New Note. The Company will repay the principal amount of the Notes in equal monthly installments beginning on January 1, 2018 and repeating on the first business day of each calendar month thereafter until the fourteenth (14th) month anniversary date of issue. On September 26, 2018, the Company entered into a second amendment which extended the maturity dates of the notes to February 1, 2019. No interest shall accrue under the Notes unless and until an Event of Default (as defined) has occurred and is not cured. As of December 31, 2018, no such event of default had occurred. On April 24, 2018, 670,001 per-delivery shares were issued. Eighty-five (85%) percent of any cash proceeds received by the holders of the Notes from the sale of pre-delivery shares issued as collateral shall be applied against the particular installment amount then due. The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness which includes $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under the above described Synthesis loan agreements, plus a defined amount of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions. The Company evaluated the debt modification in accordance with ASC 470-50 and concluded that the debt qualified for debt extinguishment as the 10% cash flow test was met. As a result, the Existing Notes were written off and the New Notes were recorded at fair value as of February 20, 2018. The Company wrote off the remaining principal balance of $2,871,429 of the Existing Notes along with the remaining $2,596,838 of debt discounts related to the Existing Notes of which $1,140,711 was a reduction to additional paid-in-capital representing the intrinsic value of the existing beneficial conversion feature. The Company recorded the New Notes in the amount of $3,216,000 and a total debt discount of $3,216,000 in relation to the intrinsic value of the new beneficial conversion feature of $2,880,000 and an original issue discount of $336,000. This resulted in a net loss on extinguishment of debt in the amount of $1,464,698 and additional net equity related to the beneficial conversion feature of $1,739,289.

 

The Notes were not convertible until April 18, 2018 pursuant to the February 20, 2018 amendment. Beginning April 20, 2018, the Holder may convert the Notes into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $5.00 per share. In the event of an issuance of Common Stock for a consideration less than the Conversion Price (other than Excluded Securities, as defined) the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the price of the dilutive issuance, (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (as defined), the Buyers may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $1,140,711 to debt discount, of which $405,743 was amortized through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining debt discount was written off and the Company recorded a new debt discount as discussed above.

 

The Notes are senior in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), including $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing senior loan agreement, plus defined amounts of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

 

The Notes include customary Events of Default and provide that the Buyers may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the Event of Default has been cured) all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent, multiplied by the greater of the conversion rate and the then current market price. The Buyers may also require redemption of the Notes upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

 

On December 12, 2018, the Company entered into a Third Amendment and Exchange Agreement (“Third Exchange Agreement”) with the Buyers whereby the existing 536,000 warrants issued to such investors in connection with the November 15, 2017 Securities Purchase Agreement were retired in exchange for 727,683 new warrants.  Additionally, the investors agreed to convert $1,333,333 of the debt related to the September 4, 2018 Securities Purchase Agreement at a reduced conversion price of $3.478.  The Company issued those 383,363 shares on December 13, 2018.  The Third Exchange agreement was considered to be an inducement to conversion and accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-20.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a modification expense of $1,778,952 for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

The modification expense was based on the change in the fair value of the warrants and conversion feature before and after the modification using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the date of the modification using the following assumptions: pre-modification: (a) exercise price of $7.50 and, (b) fair value of common stock of $6, (c) expected volatility of 243.69%, (d) dividend yield of 0%, (e) risk-free rate of 2.77%, (f) expected life of 3.93 years; and post-modification (a) exercise price of $6, (b) fair value of common stock of $6, (c) expected volatility of 113.62%, (d) dividend yield of 0%, (e) risk-free rate of 2.77%, (f) expected life of 5 years.

 

The Warrants had a five-year term and were exercisable into 536,000 shares of Common Stock beginning May 16, 2018, which was six months after the issue date. The Warrants were exercisable at $7.50 per share subject to full ratchet anti-dilution protection (see above). As of December 31, 2018, there were no anti-dilution trigger events. The Warrants would have been exercisable on a cashless basis if a registration statement was not effective covering the resale of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company calculated the warrants at relative fair value of $1,545,288, which was recognized as a discount to the Existing Notes of which $347,418 was amortized as interest expense through February 19, 2018. On February 20, 2018, the remaining balance was reversed due to the Exchange Agreement as discussed above. On December 12, 2018, pursuant to the Third Amendment and Exchange Agreement, the 536,000 warrants were retired in exchange for the issuance of 727,683 new warrants that are exercisable at $6.00 per share and have the same rights and privileges as the original warrants and expire on December 11, 2023. 

 

Conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants are each subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting or exercising, as applicable, the Notes or the Warrants, into shares of Common Stock if its beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would exceed 4.99% (subject to adjustment not to exceed 9.99%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (each, a “Blocker”).

 

The Company filed, within thirty (30) days of the Closing, a registration statement covering one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the maximum number of shares, underlying the Notes and Warrants pursuant to a registration rights agreement with the Buyers (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Post-Effective Amendment to the registration statement (No. 333-222061) was declared effective on May 14, 2018.

 

As a condition to the closing of the Financing, each Buyer, severally, was required to execute a leak-out agreement (each, a “Leak-Out Agreement”) restricting such Buyer’s sale of shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants on any Trading Day to not more than such Buyer’s pro rata allocation of the greater of (x) sales with net proceeds of an aggregate of $20,000 or (y) twenty-five (25%) percent of the daily average trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock. If after the closing of the Financing there is no Event of Default under the Notes, the VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for three (3) trading days is less than $1.50 per share, the Company may further restrict the Buyers from selling at less than $1.50 per share; provided that the portion of the Notes subject to redemption on each Installment Date shall thereafter double.

 

On November 15, 2017, in connection with the $3,350,000 Securities Purchase Agreement, Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), as the Company’s exclusive placement agent, received a cash commission for the transaction equal to eight (8%) percent of the total gross proceeds of the offering, or $240,000 and the issuance of five-year warrants to purchase eight (8%) percent of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in this offering (excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of any warrants issued to investors), or 53,600 shares; and, will receive eight (8%) percent of any cash proceeds received from the exercise of any warrants sold in the offering with an expiration equal to or less than twenty-four (24) months. The warrants are exercisable six months after the issue date or May 16, 2018 and were valued at a fair value of $386,003 which was fully expensed during the year ended December 31, 2017. The $240,000 cash commission was recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the term of the Notes.

No annual interest will accrue under the Notes unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is not cured and will then accrue interest at 18% per annum.

 

The Notes are convertible at any time by the Holder into shares of Common Stock at the rate of $6.00 per share (with the exception of the conversion pursuant to the Third Exchange Agreement), subject to full ratchet anti-dilution adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). According to the original terms of the agreement, the Company was to pre-deliver up to 372,222 shares of common stock to the Buyers. Eighty-five percent (85%) of any cash proceeds received by the Buyers from the sale of the Pre-Delivery Shares would then be applied against the particular installment amount due on such Installment Date under the Note.

The Company valued the beneficial conversion feature of the Existing Notes at intrinsic value and recorded $934,922 to debt discount, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes.

 

The Notes are pari passu in right of payment to the November Notes and senior in right of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Note), including $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing senior loan agreement, plus defined amounts of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

Distribution and Equity Agreement

 

As discussed in Note 5 above, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement with Marathon. The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted.

 

As consideration for its services, 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 fails to meet certain performance milestones. The Company is entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000.

 

As discussed in Note 5, the Company attributed no value to the shares received in Marathon pursuant to (a) above. In relation to the CAD $ 2 million cash received noted in (b) the prior paragraph, the Company accounted for its obligation to issue a variable number of the Company’s Common Shares as Share-settled debt obligation in accordance with ASC 480 measured at fair value or the settlement amount of $1,554,590 (CAD $ 2 million). If settlement were to occur on December 31, 2018, the Company would be required to issue 337,158 Common Shares to settle its debt obligation. The Company could be obligated to potentially issue an unlimited number of common shares to settle its Share-settled debt obligation. If such events were to occur, the Company would be required to increase its authorized share capital and since increasing the authorized share capital is within the control of the Company, as our CEO controls greater than 50% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, the original classification of equity-classified financial instruments issued by the Company were not affected.

 

None of the above loans were made by any related parties.

NOTE 15 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company, decreased with respect to net income or increased with respect to net loss by dividends declared on preferred stock by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of incremental common shares potentially issuable under outstanding options, warrants and restricted shares is included in diluted earnings per share in 2018 and 2017 utilizing the treasury stock method. The computations of basic and diluted per share data were as follows:

NOTE 17 – DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE

 

ASC 606-10-50-5 requires that entities disclose disaggregated revenue information in categories (such as type of good or service, geography, market, type of contract, etc). ASC 606-10-55-89 explains that the extent to which an entity’s revenue is disaggregated depends on the facts and circumstances that pertain to the entity’s contracts with customers and that some entities may need to use more than one type of category to meet the objective for disaggregating revenue.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

·

Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions;

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

 

·

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2018, as the result of a material weakness. The material weakness results from significant deficiencies in internal control that collectively constitute a material weakness.

 

A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant's financial reporting. We had the following material weakness at December 31, 2018:

 

 

·

The Company has a lack of proper segregation of duties.

 

·

The Company's internal control structure lacks multiple levels of review and oversight.

Table of Contents

 

Remediation of Deficiencies and Material Weaknesses

 

We are unable to remedy the all material weaknesses present in our internal controls until we are able to hire additional employees, so that we may then introduce checks and balances on internal controls.

 

We have put systems in place to deal with the revenue recognition deficiencies which include: having persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists in the form of a signed agreement, the price is fixed and determinable by having a purchase order signed by our customer and the company, written confirmation that goods or services have been delivered. The collectability aspect of revenue recognition will be met when we establish a collection history with our customers.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

 

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Audit Committee

 

We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.

None of our current directors can be considered an “audit committee financial expert.” We will need to attract an individual with the qualification of an audit committee expert to our Audit Committee. At this time, we have not identified such an individual.

 

Director Independence

 

Our board of directors has determined that John Hoidas qualifies as an "independent board member" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.
