CURE PHARMACEUTICAL HOLDING CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2019

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Business Operations

CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp., its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation (“CURE Pharmaceutical”) and its 63% majority owned subsidiary Oak Therapeutics, Inc. (“Oak”) (collectively (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “CURE”) is an emerging growth company focusing on drug formulation and delivery technology company that researches and manufactures novel dosage forms to improve drug safety, efficacy and patient adherence. Our mission is to improve lives by redefining how medications are delivered and experienced. Our business strategy is to develop products using our proprietary technology, license the product rights to partners responsible for clinical development, regulatory approval, marketing and sales and retain exclusive manufacturing rights. We operate a 25,000 square foot cGMP manufacturing plant in Oxnard, CA.

Our technology platform includes oral dissolving film (ODF) and transdermal formulations. We apply our technology to pharmaceutical drugs and dietary supplements. ODF products are about the size of a postage stamp and composed of excipients such as polymers, stabilizers, lipids and surfactants which are all generally recognized as safe. They can be designed to deliver active ingredients to the gastrointestinal tract (GI) when placed on the tongue and swallowed, or directly to the blood stream when placed under the tongue (sublingual) or on the inner lining of the cheek and lip (buccal).

We currently have two commercial products and several development programs underway:

Background

CURE, formerly known as Makkanotti Group Corp, was incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 15, 2014. The Company was originally formed to engage in the business of manufacturing food paper bags in Nicosia, Cyprus. On November 7, 2016, the Company changed its name to CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp.

On November 7, 2016, the Company, in a reverse take-over transaction, acquired CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation (“CURE Pharmaceutical”), a specialty pharmaceutical and bioscience company based in California that specializes in drug delivery technologies, by executing a Share Exchange Agreement and Conversion Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Company and a holder of a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the registrant prior to the closing (the “Majority Stockholder”), on the one hand, and CURE Pharmaceutical, a California corporation, all of the shareholders of CURE Pharmaceutical’s issued and outstanding share capital (the “CURE Pharm Shareholders”) and the holders of certain convertible promissory notes of CURE Pharmaceutical (“CURE Pharm Noteholders”), on the other hand. Hereinafter, this share exchange transaction is described as the “Share Exchange.” As a result of the Share Exchange, CURE Pharmaceutical became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the CURE Pharm Shareholders and CURE Pharm Noteholders became the controlling shareholders of the Company.

For accounting purposes, CURE Pharmaceutical was the surviving entity. The transaction was accounted for using the reverse acquisition method of accounting. As a result of the recapitalization and change in control, CURE Pharmaceutical was the acquiring entity in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.

We licensed our technology available to a private company, Oak Therapeutics (“Oak”), to develop products for sale in the developing world (“Territory”). On November 10, 2017, we received 269,000 shares of Oak as consideration for an exclusive license to our patent rights in the Territory, along with a royalty-free non-exclusive license to any improvements made by Oak. As a result of this transaction, we owned approximately 63% of Oak’s outstanding shares and have consolidated Oak’s financial statements as of the fourth quarter 2017. Due to the lack of performance by Oak under the license agreement, on April 15, 2019, we terminated all contractual relationships with Oak, including the license and surrendered our Oak shares to Oak. Further information can be found in NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. Such financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.

Principle of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp (“CPHC”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation (“CURE”) and its 63% majority owned subsidiary Oak Therapeutics, Inc. (“OAK”), collectively referred to as (“CURE”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s film strip product represents the principal operations of the Company.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2019, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future period. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

8

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all cash on hand and in banks, including accounts in book overdraft positions, certificates of deposit and other highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no cash equivalents. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions.

Investment in Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence through a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not control or joint control over those policies.

The results of assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in the condensed consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Company’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any impairment in the value of the investment. Losses of an associate in excess of the Company’s interest in that associate are not recognized. Additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the associate recognized at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included within the carrying amount of the investment.

On January 8, 2016, the Company received 50% ownership in Cure Innovations, Inc (“CI”). CI was created in 2015 by IncuBrands Studio, Inc (“IncuBrands”). The Company and IncuBrands each own 50% of the common stock of CI. The Company and IncuBrands entered into a Joint Venture agreement in 2013 to distribute several OTF products utilizing IncuBrands marketing and contacts in various industries as well as utilize the Company’s technology and capabilities of manufacturing OTF’s. On December 28, 2018, in agreement with IncuBrands, the Company dissolved CI as we did not see a viable future relating to this joint venture.

On December 6, 2016, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (“Joint Venture”) with Pace Wellness, Inc. (“Pace”) to jointly develop three Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) within the nonprescription and/or Over-the-Counter (OTC) medicines specifically utilizing the Company’s patented and proprietary CUREFilm™ Technology. The three API’s to be jointly developed are Diphenhydramine HCL, Omeprazole and a third API to be determined at a later date (“Products”). Pace shall be the exclusive global distributor of the Products under the Solves Strips® branding or other private or branded labels. All benefits, advantages, and liabilities derived from, or incurred in respect of the Joint Venture shall be borne by the parties in proportion of their respective participating interests of 50/50 equal interest. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has only contributed $5,000 to the Joint Venture. The Company is looking to dissolve this Joint Venture due to Pace’s insolvency and we are no longer looking to develop these Products.

Property and Equipment

The Company capitalizes expenditures related to property and equipment, subject to a minimum rule, that have a useful life greater than one year for: (1) assets purchased; (2) existing assets that are replaced, improved or the useful lives have been extended; or (3) all land, regardless of cost. Acquisitions of new assets, additions, replacements and improvements (other than land) costing less than the minimum rule in addition to maintenance and repair costs, including any planned major maintenance activities, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation has been provided using the straight-line method on the following estimated useful lives:

Manufacturing equipment	5-7 Years
Computer and other equipment	3-7 Years
Leasehold Improvements	Lesser of useful life or the term of the lease

9

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, management determined that an allowance was necessary which amounted to approximately $0 and $7,500, respectively.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company determines the cost of its inventory, which includes amounts related to materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period and writes down any excess and obsolete inventories to their realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review all of our long-lived assets for impairment indicators throughout the year and perform detailed testing whenever impairment indicators are present. In addition, we perform detailed impairment testing for indefinite-lived intangible assets, at least annually, at December 31. When necessary, we record charges for impairments. Specifically:

· For finite-lived intangible assets, such as developed technology rights, and for other long-lived assets, we compare the undiscounted amount of the projected cash flows associated with the asset, or asset group, to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is found to be greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review, we re-evaluate the remaining useful lives of the assets and modify them, as appropriate; and

· For indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as acquired in-process R&D assets, each year and whenever impairment indicators are present, we determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss for the excess of book value over fair value, if any.

Management determined that no impairment indicators were present and that no impairment charges were necessary as of March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue Recognition”. The Company adopted Topic 606 using a modified retrospective approach for the years ended December 31, 2017 and prior and has been applied prospectively in the Company’s financial statements beginning January 1, 2018. Revenues under Topic 606 are required to be recognized either at a “point in time” or “over time”, depending on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement, and will be evaluated using a five-step model. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, at initial implementation nor will it have a material impact on an ongoing basis. 

To achieve the core principle of Topic 606, we perform the following steps:

1.	Identify the contract(s) with customer;
2.	Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
3.	Determine the transactions price;
4.	Allocate the transactions price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
5.	Recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation.

We derive revenues from two primary sources: products and services. Product revenue includes the shipment of product according to the agreement with our customers. Services include research and development contracts for the development of OTF products utilizing our CureFilm™ Technology or our other proprietary technologies. Rarely, contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis.

The Company’s formulation and product development income include services for the development of OTF products utilizing our CureFilm™ Technology. Our development contracts have up to four phases. Revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation in each phase. The method to measure progress toward completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. The Company generally uses the input method to measure progress for its contracts because it best depicts the transfer of assets to the customer, which occurs as the Company incurs costs for the contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the progress toward completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenue is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill these obligations mainly include materials, labor, supplies and consultants.

Deferred revenue is shown separately in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 we had deferred revenues of $311,275 and $383,275, respectively.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying statements of operations. The Company did not record advertising costs for the three months periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Research and Development

Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and processes are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. The Company recorded research and development expenses of $360,870 and $426,529 for the three months periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company generated a deferred tax asset through net operating loss carry-forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established due to the uncertainty of the Company’s realization of the net operating loss carry forward prior to its expiration.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). The ASC also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the reporting date.

11

Convertible Debentures

Beneficial Conversion Feature

If the conversion features of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 ““Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF and the Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.

Derivative Liabilities

ASC 815-40 (formerly SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities”), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19 “Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company’s own stock”) to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and present value pricing. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the change in fair value, in its consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements and 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 for the asset or liability, 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 carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and notes and loans payable approximate their estimated fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of the notes and convertible promissory notes approximates the estimated fair value for these instruments as management believes that such notes constitute substantially all of the Company’s debt and the interest payable on the notes approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. We measured the liability for price adjustable warrants and embedded derivative features in the convertible notes, using the probability adjusted Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”), which management has determined approximates values using more complex methods, using Level 3 inputs. (See Note 10)

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents (stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be dilutive. Net loss is adjusted for the dilutive effect of the change in fair value liability for price adjustable warrants, if applicable.

The following number of shares have been excluded from diluted net income (loss) since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

	Year ended December 31,
	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Restricted stock and stock options outstanding		-		97,742
Warrants		90,000		2,879,695
Shares to be issued upon conversion of convertible payable		115,047		236,475
Total		205,047		3,213,912

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2019, we had a significant accumulated deficit of approximately $39.3 million and a negative working capital of approximately $1.8 million. Our operating activities consume the majority of our cash resources. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses as we execute our commercialization and research and development plans, as well as strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, we have had and will continue to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. We have previously funded, and plan to continue funding, our losses primarily through the sale of common and preferred stock, combined with or without warrants, the sale of notes, revenue provided from our license agreements and, to a lesser extent, equipment financing facilities and secured loans. However, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain such funds required for our operations at terms acceptable to us or at all.

Specifically, management has identified that a minimum of $4,000,000 of capital is needed over the next 12 months in order sustain operations. These capital needs take into account, among other things, management’s plans to advance intellectual property, maintenance of patents, upgrades for manufacturing and to hire personnel for business development. Management has outlined a plan to raise between $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 in capital over the next 12 months through a merger and $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to accredited investors. Management believes that the capital raised through these methods will be sufficient to sustain operations for the next 12 to 18 months. However, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

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. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recently Issued Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"). This guidance, as amended by subsequent ASU's on the topic, improves transparency and comparability among companies by recognizing right of use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for public business entities for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU No. 2016-02 in our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2019 and will use the alternative transition method provided by the FASB in ASU No. 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” and ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, with no restatement of comparative periods.

The new standard provides optional practical expedients in transition. We expect to only elect the "package of practical expedients" where, under the new standard, prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs do not need to be reassessed. The new standard also provides practical expedients for ongoing accounting and we do not expect to elect any of these practical expedients on adoption. We continue to assess the impact of the new standard and believe it will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This new standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU. 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by removing the second step of the two‑step impairment test. The amendment requires an entity to perform its annual, or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. ASU 2017-04 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted and will be applied prospectively.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The amendments of this ASU became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2018. The adoption of ASU 2017-09 did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

14

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-7, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance supersedes ASC 505-50 and expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements related to the acquisition of goods and services from both nonemployees and employees. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The guidance permits early adoption and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There are various other updates recently issued, however, they are not expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments, options, warrants or other contracts, to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The result of this accounting treatment is that the fair value of the derivative is marked-to-market each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income (expense). Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instruments, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815 are reclassified to liabilities at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date.

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2019 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Fair value of Derivative Liability	$	770,248	$	-	$	-	$	770,248

The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2018 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Fair value of Derivative Liability	$	617,628	$	-	$	-	$	617,628

The Company has issued convertible promissory notes during 2018 and 2017. The convertible notes require us to record the value of the conversion feature as a liability, at fair value, pursuant to ASC 815, including provisions in the notes that protect the holders from declines in the Company’s stock price, which is considered outside the control of the Company. The derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded as a non-operating gain or loss in our statement of operations, until they are completely settled. The fair value of the conversion feature is determined each reporting period using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, dividends, interest rates and expected term. The assumptions used in valuing the derivative liability during 2019 were as follows:

Significant assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate at grant date	2.23	%
Expected stock price volatility	138.42	%
Expected dividend payout	-
Expected option life (in years)	1
Expected forfeiture rate	0

BUSINESS

Overview

We are a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and manufacturing of drug formulation and drug delivery technologies in novel dosage forms to improve drug safety, efficacy and patient adherence. Our mission to improve lives by redefining how medications are delivered and experienced. Our business strategy is to develop products using our proprietary technology, license the product rights to partners responsible for clinical development, regulatory approval, marketing and sales and retain exclusive manufacturing rights. We operate in a 25,000 square foot cGMP manufacturing plant in Oxnard, CA.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 15, 2014. The Company was formerly named Makkanotti Group Corp. which was formed to engage in the business of manufacturing food paper bags in Nicosia, Cyprus. On November 7, 2016, the board of directors and the majority stockholder of the then outstanding shares of registrant’s common stock executed a written consent to change registrant’s name from Makkanotti Group Corp. to CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. The Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation was filed with the State of Nevada on November 30, 2016.

Further, on November 7, 2016, we, in a reverse take-over transaction, acquired a specialty pharmaceutical and bioscience company based in California that specializes in drug delivery technologies, by executing a Share Exchange Agreement and Conversion Agreement (“Exchange Agreement”) by and among us and a holder of a majority of our issued and outstanding capital stock prior to the closing (the “Majority Stockholder”), on the one hand, and CURE Pharmaceutical, all of the shareholders of CURE Pharmaceutical’s issued and outstanding share capital (the “CURE Pharm Shareholders”) and the holders of certain convertible promissory notes of CURE Pharmaceutical (“CURE Pharm Noteholders”), on the other hand. Hereinafter, this share exchange transaction is described as the “Share Exchange.”

As a result of the Share Exchange, CURE Pharmaceutical became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the CURE Pharm Shareholders and CURE Pharm Noteholders became our controlling shareholders owning, at such time, approximately 65% of our issued and outstanding common stock. For accounting purposes, CURE Pharmaceutical was the surviving entity. As a result of the recapitalization and change in control, CURE Pharmaceutical was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations.

Nature of Business

Our technology platform includes oral dissolving film (“ODF”) and transdermal formulations. We apply our technology to pharmaceutical drugs and dietary supplements. ODF products are about the size of a postage stamp and composed of excipients such as polymers, stabilizers, lipids and surfactants which are all generally recognized as safe. They can be designed to deliver active ingredients to the gastrointestinal, or GI, tract when placed on the tongue and swallowed, or directly to the blood stream when placed under the tongue (sublingual) or on the inner lining of the cheek and lip (buccal).

We currently have two commercial products and several development programs underway:

CURE 3068 (CUREfilm Sleep – Commercially Launched)

This is a melatonin-containing sleep aid CUREfilm ODF that is manufactured and sold as a dietary supplement under the brand name “ID Life Sleep Strips”. Our non-exclusive distributor is ID Life, a health and wellness company focused on customized nutrition and selling within the United States. We completed a purchase order with ID Life for approximately 3,200,000 units of product in 2018 and we are seeking additional distributors.

CURE 5079 (CUREfilm Sleep – Commercially Launched)

This novel sleep aid containing a dietary cannabinoid CUREfilm ODF was launched Q3 2018 by Incubrands under the brand name “Sleep Stripzzz”. The distribution rights were exclusive through the end of 2018. A purchase order was placed on February 22, 2018 and we are seeking additional distributors.

29

CURE 5003 (CUREfilm Blue)

We are developing a sildenafil CUREfilm ODF for oral administration. The product, which will be launched for the treatment of erectile disorder, is in early stage clinical development with human studies planned in 2019. We completed a pre-IND meeting with the FDA on March 21, 2019.

CURE 5067 (CUREfilm D)

We are developing a 50,000IU, once per week, Vitamin D3 CUREfilm ODF for oral administration. On February 18, 2017, we entered into an exclusive 5-year license and distribution agreement with Meroven Limited in the MENA region: Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, UAE, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Sudan, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria and Africa. On April 30, 2019, we entered into a supply agreement with Meroven Limited for this product for distribution in the United States. The product is currently in the optimization development stage.

CURE 5210 (CUREfilm Beta-Caryophyllene)

We are developing a dietary cannabinoid ODF using food grade beta-caryophyllene to target the CB2 receptor. We are in early feasibility stages of development of this product and have not yet signed with a distribution partner.

CURE 5200

We are developing a novel CUREfilm ODF substrate with an undisclosed partner. On June 4, 2018, we entered into a development agreement with an undisclosed partner for product development feasibility of CURE 5200. In order to protect CURE’s and our partner’s competitive advantage, no details of the product have been disclosed at this stage.

CURE 5209

We are developing a CUREfilm ODF for mood enhancement as a dietary supplement. On May 30, 2018, we entered into a development agreement with an undisclosed partner for product development feasibility of CURE 5209. In order to protect CURE’s and our partner’s competitive advantage, no further details of the product have been disclosed at this stage.

CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation

Our wholly owned subsidiary and operating business, CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation, located in Oxnard, California was originally incorporated in July 2011 to develop novel drug formulation and delivery technologies.

The pharmaceutical industry is facing ever-growing R&D expenditures and fewer new drug approvals as a result of increasing regulation, a failure to predict safety problems or a lack of efficacy early in a drug’s development, and high investment in new technologies to improve the speed and accuracy of drug development. Researching and developing new molecular entities (NMEs) is risky as measured by an ever-increasing R&D spend (13.4% average increase per year), low clinical trial success rate (10%) and sluggish NME drug approvals – with 55 NMEs approved in 2018. Faced with these challenges, drug developers are looking toward alternative dosage forms, for which R&D investments dwarves those of NMEs. Alternative dosage forms can address safety and efficacy limitations observed during clinical development of an NME using conventional formulations, by improving its pharmacokinetic profile.

In addition to these challenges, many marketed drugs are coming off-patent, creating a need to fill revenue gaps. Novel dosage forms can offer strategies for surviving patent cliffs by extending market exclusivity when they address a bona fide unmet need.

30

The pharmaceutical industry is also challenged by the many patients who do not adhere to a regime of prescription drugs because of side effects, difficulty in administration or the taste of a drug. According to HealthPrize and Capgemini, the loss of global revenues by drug makers due to non-adherence to medicines is $630 billion every year and according to a recent paper published in The Annals of Pharmacotherapy titled "Cost of Prescription Drug-Related Morbidity and Mortality" the estimated annual cost of prescription drug-related morbidity and mortality resulting from nonoptimized medication therapy was $528.4 billion in 2016 US dollars and about 275,689 deaths per year. Medication adherence and the patient experience can be improved with strategies such as replacing an injectable drug with a sublingual drug, simplifying the dosing schedule with a sustained release dosage form and reducing toxicities by avoiding the GI tract (e.g. through transdermal or transmucosal delivery).

Improved formulations can address these many challenges by cutting down development costs, reducing the time to market, extending product patent protection, improving patient compliance and increasing drug efficacy. For example, reformulation can enable drug repositioning, the process of finding new uses for failed drugs, such as those abandoned for lack of efficacy or excessive toxicity after Phase II trials, or marketed drugs for which new uses will extend patent life and, therefore, profitability.

The FDA approves more reformulations than new chemical entities (NCEs) each year under Section (505)(b)(2) of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, (“505(b)(2)”) the FDA. The number of 2017 NDA approvals that used the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway rose dramatically from 45 approvals in each of the last two years to an all-time high of 63 in 2017. Under Section (505)(b)(2), the FDA may grant market exclusivity for a term of up to three years of exclusivity following approval of a listed drug that contains previously approved active ingredients but is approved in a new dosage, dosage form, route of administration or indication for use. Taken together, the exclusivity period of a drug and the lower R&D cost for reformulating a drug, have led to some pharmaceutical companies investigating reformulating their drugs as part of their lifecycle management protocols.

Our Strategy

Our commercial strategy is designed to mitigate risk by pursuing a diversified model in the following categories:

Pharmaceuticals

We partner with companies that are responsible for marketing and distribution of the products we develop and manufacture. On a case-by-case basis, we may be responsible for clinical development and regulatory approval with the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies. Deal terms may include upfront licensing fees, development costs, milestone payments, royalties and exclusive manufacturing rights. Within this category, we are pursuing products with 505(b)(2) approval pathways such as our Sildenafil ODF – CUREfilm Blue. While we currently manufacture nutraceutical products in our state-of-the-art cGMP oral dissolving film manufacturing facility, we are undertaking steps to manufacture pharmaceutical products for commercial use.

31

Cannabinoids

We are specifically investing in pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid products, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The oral bioavailability of cannabinoids is very low due to extensive “first-pass” metabolism. Consequently, potency and release times are unpredictable and inconsistent. Moreover, cannabinoids do not readily dissolve in water which adds to dosing difficulties and discrepancies. In addition to improving bioavailability, CUREfilm enables the loading of combinations of cannabinoids and botanical extracts which may provide maximum therapeutic benefit. We have a licensing rights agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation (“Canopy”) for the global commercialization of ODFs containing cannabinoids, under which Canopy is granted non-exclusive in the United States and exclusive rights in the rest of the world excluding Asia. We are sponsoring preclinical cannabinoid research at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where the laboratory of Dr. Dedi Meiri is identifying specific combinations of cannabinoids with anti-tumor effects. We are registered with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) to manufacture schedule 1 controlled substances at the Oxnard facility.

Nutraceuticals

Increasingly, patients are encouraged to take part in their own treatments, and a consumer market has been developing midway between the supermarket-based world of consumer goods companies and the scientific, pharmacy-based world of pharmaceutical firms. The front lines of this battle are nutraceutical products that have been proven to help prevent or cure disease. Breakthroughs in functional medicine suggest a number of opportunities for pharmaceutical companies like CURE. Functional medicines focus on the imbalances underlying disease processes (rather than only symptomatic relief) and they rely on molecular nutrition for patient-specific solutions. These types of nutraceuticals can be synergistic with pharmaceutical treatments. We therefore focus on evidence-based nutraceuticals that are differentiated by using proprietary and/or proven active ingredients that we formulate for greater stability, overall quality and increased bioavailability. Nutraceutical products do not require FDA approval but do require following all GMPs. Thus, they are less costly and faster to launch in the marketplace. While manufacturing fees for nutraceuticals have lower margins than prescription drugs, they provide us with short term revenue opportunities.

Technology Platform Expansion

As a drug delivery company, we seek to grow our technological capabilities through internal innovation and acquisitions. On March 31, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with Chemistry Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Chemistry Holdings”) to acquire Chemistry Holdings, with a closing date to complete the transaction on May 13, 2019. Chemistry Holdings is a formulation technology company that is developing innovative delivery systems for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and other industries. There is an increased demand for solid, chewable or dissolvable products for immediate and controlled-release, oral delivery of active ingredients and particularly poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients. However, such dosage forms can pose challenges such as (i) stability of the active ingredient, (ii) overall integrity and shelf life of the product, and (iii) palatability. Chemistry Holdings is developing a novel biopolymer technology for both liquid encapsulation and microencapsulation of dry powders, which are designed to improve the stability and solubility of active ingredients. Encapsulated active ingredients can then be formulated in various final dosage forms including oral thin film. This technology extends our technology platform beyond oral soluble films, to chewables and fast dissolving tablets along with micro- and nano-encapsulation methods. Further information can be found in NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

Underserved Patient Populations

On November 10, 2017, we received 269,000 shares of Oak Therapeutics as consideration for an exclusive license to certain patents rights and trademarks of CURE for the commercialization of products in developing nations as defined in the 2013 International Statistics Institute. As a result of this transaction, we own approximately 63% of Oak’s outstanding shares and have consolidated Oak’s financial statements as of the fourth quarter 2017. Due to the lack of performance by Oak under the license agreement, on April 15, 2019, we terminated all contractual relationships with Oak, including the exclusive license and we surrendered our Oak shares to Oak. Further information can be found in NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS.

32

CUREfilm^TM Technology

The founders of CURE Pharmaceutical are pioneers in drug delivery and ODF, having launched the first therapeutic ODF product, Chloraseptic® relief strips in 2003. ODF products are about the size of a postage stamp and can deliver medicines through the mucosal tissue in the mouth, sublingually or buccally – on the cheek or more traditionally via the GI tract. Oral transmucosal drug delivery is a non-invasive route for drug delivery that allows for absorption directly into the vascularized tissue in the mouth, bypassing the hepatic first pass effect. This leads to reduced drug exposure and can offer a rapid onset of action. As an oral ODF, active ingredients can be either pre-solubilized within the matrix or encapsulated, or both for more effective GI absorption and/or sustained release. The quick dissolution nature of ODF means that no water is required for administration, improving patient compliance - especially among the elderly, children, and in conditions where patients have difficulty in swallowing.

ODFs have significant advantages compared to other dosage forms (e.g., tablets and capsules), including:

Safety and Efficacy

· Potential for rapid onset of action which can be especially useful for indications such as motion sickness, erectile dysfunction, seizures, allergic attack or coughing, bronchitis or asthma.

· Potential to extend a drug’s half-life and consequently extending dosage intervals

· Transmucosal delivery can improve a drug’s safety profile of therapy such as reduced gastric irritation

· Transmucosal delivery can improve a drug’s efficacy in patients with GI absorption issues.

· Accuracy in the administered dose can be better assured for each film.

Patient Experience and Medication Adherence

· Difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules can be a problem for many individuals and can lead to a variety of adverse events and patient noncompliance with treatment regimens. It is estimated that over 16 million people in the United States have some difficulty swallowing, also known as dysphagia. Studies in adults evaluating the effect of tablet and capsule size on ease of swallowing suggest that increases in size are associated with increases in patient complaints related to swallowing difficulties at tablet sizes greater than approximately 8 mm in diameter. ODFs can readily be taken without the need to swallow or use of water or other beverages.

· Upon administration, there is a relatively low risk of the patient choking which can be most beneficial for patients suffering from motion sickness, dysphagia and repeated emesis.

· Easily administered to bedridden and non-cooperative patients (e.g., geriatric, pediatric, and psychiatric). They are hard to spit out.

· Configured with physical dimensions such that it is relatively easy and convenient to store and carry. Patients can conveniently carry multiple dissolvable films in his or her pocket or wallet. A single dose of strip can be carried individually without requiring the secondary container.

· ODFs are flexible with a pleasant mouth feel unlike oral dissolvable tablets which are brittle.

33

Manufacturing and logistics

· The pouches or sachets offer larger printable 2D areas which traditional drug product formats do not. This allows the manufacturer to adapt to rapidly evolving labeling and regulatory requirements for information and anti-counterfeiting, such as product serialization.

· The manufacturing process has a low carbon foot print, with lower use of water for component preparation and sterilization as compared with other dosage forms.

· Even though not necessarily sterile, each dose unit is packed individually avoiding contact with other units.

· Tensile strength and plasticity of ODF allow for handling single, individual dose units without damage to the dosage form.

· Multiple SKUs can be produced by simply modifying the length of the ODF

· Enables anti-counterfeit management and dose management

· Adaptable for use with dispensing devices for pharmacy preparation or self-administration

· Can be easily and conveniently handled, stored, and transported at room temperature

The CUREfilm platform is a scalable and versatile formulation and drug delivery system for both oral (ODF) and transdermal (skin) delivery. We believe that CUREfilm formulations can improve or match the pharmacokinetics of drugs in accordance with the desired outcome. The platform is compatible with a broad spectrum of molecules, for the formulation of both investigational and marketed prescription drugs and nutraceutical products.

The specific advantages below are present with multiple CUREfilm products and platform technologies. The advantages listed below are expressly described in CURE’s patent documents. Other advantages are present in specific products and platform technologies but not outlined in the patent documents and kept as trade secrets and proprietary equipment designs. Additional advantages are described in pending and unpublished patent documents.

· Loading of multiple active ingredients on one dose unit

· Can accommodate high drug load per dose unit (e.g. > 200 mg)

· Quickly dissolving/disintegrating (e.g. < 2 minutes)

· Potential for low moisture level (e.g. < 10 wt.% water)

· Can achieve desired performance characteristics while maintaining pleasant feeling in the mouth (e.g. soft, plush feeling with pliable film)

· Can achieve desired performance characteristics while formulating active ingredients susceptible to degradation from low pH environments, light, heat, moisture, and oxygen

· Multiple and unique ways to mask the bitter, metallic or salty taste of an active ingredient

34

Intellectual Property

The competitive advantages of the CUREfilm platform and products over other ODF technology and products are protected by issued and ending patents, as well as trade secrets such as proprietary equipment design and manufacturing processes which allow us to produce CUREfilm products at commercial scale in a cGMP environment. We will be able to protect our technology and products from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent it is covered by valid and enforceable claims of our patents or is effectively maintained as trade secrets. Patents and other proprietary rights are thus an essential element of our business.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our product candidates, technology, and know-how, to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, and to prevent others from infringing it proprietary rights. Our policy is to seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions, and improvements that are important to the development of our business. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation, and in-licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our proprietary position.

We own or have exclusive rights to ten (11) issued patents, eight (8) pending applications in the United States, one (1) pending application in China and one (1) international Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) patent application. These patents and applications relate, among others, to (1) a method and apparatus for minimizing heat, moisture, and shear damage to medicant incorporated into an edible film, (2) edible films for administration of medicaments to animals, (3) methods for modulating dissolution, bioavailability, bioequivalence, (4) pharmaceutical composition and method of manufacturing, (5) pharmaceutical composition with ionically crosslinked polymer encapsulation of active ingredient, (6) multi-layered high dosage dissolvable film for oral administration, (7) thin films with high load of active ingredient, (8) high dosage dissolvable films for oral administration, (9) methods and composition for improving sleep, (10) oral dissolvable film that includes plant extracts and (10) rapidly disintegrating film matrix for moisture sensitive compounds.

Granted U.S. patents will expire between 2023 and 2035, excluding any patent term extensions that might be available following the grant of marketing authorizations. If issued, pending applications would expire in 2038, excluding any patent term adjustment that might be available following the grant of the patent and any patent term extensions that might be available following the grant of marketing authorizations.

We applied for six (6) trademark and logomark registrations, for which the opposition periods have expired without any opposition being filed.

Competition

We face competition from pharmaceutical companies, generic drug companies, wellness and nutraceutical companies, as well as organizations developing advanced drug delivery platforms such as Acquestive Therapeutics, BioDelivery Sciences International, IntelGenx, ARx Pharma and LTS Lohmann which have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we have. Furthermore, we face competition from these entities as well as universities, governmental agencies and other public and private research organizations for collaborative arrangements with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, in recruiting and retaining highly qualified scientific and management personnel and for licenses to additional technologies. Our success will be based in part on our ability to develop and manufacture products that address unmet medical needs and create value to patients at competitive price points. In addition, continuing to build our intellectual property portfolio and designing innovative approaches that surpass our competitors’ patents will be critical to success.

Environmental Compliance

Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the use, storage, handling and disposal of these materials and specific waste products. We are also subject to numerous environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations, including those governing laboratory procedures, exposure to blood-borne pathogens and the handling of bio-hazardous materials. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations could be significant and may adversely affect capital expenditures to the extent we are required to procure expensive capital equipment to meet regulatory requirements. At this time, we believe that we are in compliance with environmental regulations applicable to our research and development and manufacturing facility located in Oxnard, California.

35

Employees

As of the date of this filing, we have 16 full-time employees. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $74,500 as compared to $105,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was principally due to the Company seeing a decrease in orders from ID Life, LLC for Sleep Strips. However, the Company experienced an increase in research and development income as the Company successfully completed phases I of our research and development agreement with Canopy Growth Corporation. for the development of a CBD OTF and with Isagenix for the development of CURE 5209 during the 1^st quarter of 2019.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was $2,584 in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to 59,086 in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Cost of goods sold decreased by $56,502 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the Company not generating revenue from ID Life during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as where the company did incur revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Research and Development Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, research and development expenses decreased to $360,870 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $426,529. The decrease in research and development expenses is mainly due to the Company no longer developing a PEA CUREfilm as this development project has been canceled as well as not incurring costs associated with the preclinical cannabinoid research at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where the laboratory of Dr. Dedi Meiri is identifying specific combinations of cannabinoids with anti-tumor effects. However, the decrease in these projects was offset with the continuous development of CURE 5003 (CUREfilm Blue), CURE 5067 (CUREfilm D), CURE 5200, CURE 5209 and CURE 5210 (CUREfilm Beta-Caryophyllene) during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Consulting

Consulting expense increased by $886,897 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was due to the Company increasing the number of consultants used during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2018. In addition, majority of the expenses related to noncash consulting services where the Company issued common stock shares in exchange for services performed over a period of time as well as the recording of the fair market value of warrants vested during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for services performed.

Salaries and wages

Salaries and wages expense decreased by approximately $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was due two less officers employed during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. However, this decrease in officers was offset by the Company recognizing a full quarters worth of salary during the three months ended March 31, 2019 for two officers hired during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense increased by approximately $82,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was due to the following factors: (i) increase in our D&O insurance as the Company increased coverage by getting an excess D&O policy, (ii) increase in our sales and marketing efforts to promote the technology and Company and (iii) increase in conference expenses as the Company attending more conferences in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.

Professional and Investor Relations

Professional and investor relations expenses increased by approximately $158,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was due to the Company increasing our investor relation efforts to help increase awareness of our Company with potential new investors as well as to update our existing shareholder base. In addition, the Company increased our legal and accounting professional services during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 as to assist the Company in strategic planning and advisory for potential business acquisitions, patent and technology acquisitions and general and corporate compliance services.

Non-cash Compensation

Non-cash compensation expense increased by approximately $230,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018. This was primarily due to the Company recording the fair value of vested stock options and vested restricted stock issued from our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company did not issue any stock options or restricted stock from our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan during the same period in 2018.

Other Expense/Income

Other expense increased by approximately $6.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was mainly due to (i) recording of fair value of warrants issued relating to convertible promissory notes (ii) change in the warrant values relating to convertible promissory notes and (iii) a loss on conversion on convertible promissory notes of $3.7 million due to additional shares to be issued as a result of a lower conversion price compared to the fair market value at the date of issuance.

Working capital deficit as of March 31, 2019 was approximately $1.8 million, as compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $7 million as of December 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019, current assets were approximately $3.6 million, primarily attributable to (i) an increase in cash of approximately $2 million primarily due to the issuance of new convertible debt. As of December 31, 2018, current assets were approximately $1.6 million, primarily attributable to (i) an increase in cash of approximately $0.4 million primarily due to the issuance of new convertible debt and (ii) an increase in prepaid expenses of approximately $0.4 million primarily due to prepaid stock-based compensation.

As of March 31, 2019, current liabilities were approximately $5.4 million, comprised primarily of (i) approximately $3.1 million in notes and convertible notes payable, (ii) $0.8 million in derivative liability, (iii) approximately $0.8 million in accounts payable; and (iv) approximately $0.3 million in accrued expenses.

38

Net cash used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. This was primarily due to the net loss of approximately $10 million, partially offset by (i) the amortization of the debt discount of approximately $0.5 million, (ii) stock based compensation of approximately $0.6 million, (iii) the fair value of stock issued for amending convertible notes of approximately $0.3 million, (iv) the fair value of vested stock options of approximately $0.3 million (v) fair value of warrant granted for commission expense of approximately $0.6 million, (vi) loss on conversion of convertible promissory notes of approximately $3.7 million, (vii) warrant expense from convertible promissory notes of approximately $2.2 million; and (viii) the fair value of warrant granted for broker fee expense of approximately $0.3 million.

Comparatively, net cash used in operating activities was approximately $1.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was primarily due to the net loss of approximately $1.9 million offset by (i) the amortization of the debt discount of approximately $0.3 million, and (ii) stock-based compensation of approximately $0.2 million.

Net cash used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was due to (i) the purchase of an intangible asset for approximately $21,000 and (ii) the purchase of property and equipment for approximately $23,000. Comparatively, net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was due to (i) the purchase of an intangible asset for approximately $7,000, and (ii) the purchase of property and equipment for approximately $15,000.

Net cash provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to the approximately $3.4 million received from the issuances of new convertible notes payable and approximately $0.5 million in proceeds from issuances of common stock which was offset by approximately $0.7 million in repayments of convertible promissory notes and loans payable. Correspondingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $1.9 million. This was primarily attributable to proceeds of approximately $2.0 million from the issuances of new convertible notes payable which was offset by approximately $0.1 million in repayments of loans payable.

We may need to raise additional operating capital in calendar year 2019 in order to maintain our operations and to realize our business plan. Without additional sources of cash and/or the deferral, reduction, or elimination of significant planned expenditures, we may not have the cash resources to continue as a going concern thereafter.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. For additional information, see Note 2 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or condition.

39

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets include equipment and intangible assets other than those with indefinite lives. We assess the carrying value of our long-lived asset groups when indicators of impairment exist and recognize an impairment loss when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when compared to undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset.

Indicators of impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the assets or in our business strategy, loss of or changes in customer relationships and significant negative industry or economic trends. When indications of impairment arise for a particular asset or group of assets, we assess the future recoverability of the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis. If carrying value exceeds projected, net, undiscounted cash flows, an additional analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset (or asset group), typically a discounted cash flow analysis, and an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value. There was no impairment on our long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Going Concern

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the auditors’ opinion contained a going concern paragraph, which stated that the Company had an accumulated deficit, working deficit and net loss. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

The Company has an accumulated deficit balance as of March 31, 2019. 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 establishes a revenue stream and becomes profitable. The Company is continually analyzing its current costs and is attempting to make additional cost reductions where possible. We expect that we will continue to generate losses from operations throughout the remainder of 2019.

Historically, the Company has had operating losses and negative cash flows from operations which cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will need to raise capital in order to fund its operations. This need may be adversely impacted by uncertain market conditions and changes in the regulatory environment. To address its financing requirements, the Company intends to seek financing through debt and equity issuances to existing stockholders.

Specifically, management has identified that a minimum of $4,000,000 of capital is needed over the next 12 months in order sustain operations. These capital needs take into account, among other things, management’s plans to advance intellectual property, maintenance of patents, upgrades for manufacturing and to hire personnel for business development. Management has outlined a plan to raise $8,000,000 to $10,000,000 in capital over the next 12 months through a merger and $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to accredited investors. Management believes that the capital raised through these methods will be sufficient to sustain operations for the next 12 to 18 months. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need or want them, our operations and prospects could be negatively affected. However, the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.

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 financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(t) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

1.	Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
2.	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 the authorization of our management and directors; and
3.	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. Also, 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.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication and (v) monitoring.

41

Identified Material Weakness

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the segregation of duties as a material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we had one full-time employee with the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. As a result, there is a lack of proper segregation of duties necessary to ensure that all transactions are accounted for accurately and in a timely manner. As our resources allow, we will add financial personnel to our management team.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a15(e) and 15d15(e)) as of March 31, 2019, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company’s disclosure controls are not effective as a result of the identified material weakness described herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2019 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our internal control over financial reporting.
