The Company is also developing open-air defense initiatives, which curb transmission of air-borne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and influenza. Global BioLife, Inc. (“Global BioLife”), one of the Company’s subsidiaries and the main operating company of the group, focuses on research in four main areas: (i) the “Linebacker” project, which aims to develop a universal therapeutic drug platform; (ii) a new sugar substitute called “Laetose,”; (iii) a multi-use fragrance called “3F” (Functional Fragrance Formulation); and (iv) Equivir/Nemovir, a blend of natural polyphenols designed as an antimicrobial medication. Linebacker Unlike the traditional approach to treat individual diseases with specific drugs, the Linebacker platform seeks to offer a breakthrough therapeutic option for multiple diseases. Linebacker is designed to work by inhibiting a cascade of inflammatory responses responsible for many diseases. Its design is in direct contrast to the traditional approach of targeting individual diseases with specific drugs. Laetose We have also developed a low-calorie, low glycemic level, natural modified sugar through Global BioLife. The product, “Laetose,” is designed to possess low glycemic properties and mitigate inflammation. The Company is presently seeking to license Laetose. Global BioLife established a joint venture, Sweet Sense, Inc. (“Sweet Sense”), with Quality Ingredients, LLC for the development, manufacture, and global distribution of the new sugar substitute. Functional Fragrance Formulation (“3F”) Global BioLife has entered into a royalty agreement with U.S.-based Chemia Corporation (“Chemia”), a leading developer and manufacturer of fragrances, to manufacture the 3F technology. This arrangement, under the terms of the agreement, allows Chemia to create fragrances based on Global BioLife’s patents. The 3F product is made from specialized oils sourced from botanicals that insects avoid. Global BioLife aims to commercialize this product, with any potential profits from the 3F project being split between Global BioLife and Chemia pursuant to the terms of the 20-year Royalty Agreement. Equivir Equivir, is a polyphenol compound that is believed to be successful in antiviral infection treatments. Equivir is a patented medication, that has broad antiviral efficacy against multiple types of infectious diseases. As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including possible delays in our research, testing and marketing efforts or wider economic downturns.

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest. IMPACT Biomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending dates and for the reporting periods as follows: Schedule of Condensed Financial Statements <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%"> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: center">Name of consolidated subsidiary</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: center">State or other jurisdiction of incorporation or organization</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: center">Date of incorporation or formation</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: center">Attributable interest as of June 30, 2024</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td> <td colspan="2" style="border-bottom: Black 1.5pt solid; text-align: center">Attributable interest as of December 31, 2023</td><td style="padding-bottom: 1.5pt"> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom"> <td> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center"> </td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center"> </td><td> </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: right"> </td><td> </td><td> </td> <td colspan="2" style="text-align: right"> </td><td> </td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="width: 30%; text-align: left">Global BioMedical, Inc.</td><td style="width: 2%"> </td> <td style="text-align: center; width: 14%">Nevada</td><td style="width: 2%"> </td> <td style="text-align: center; width: 16%">April 18, 2017</td><td style="width: 2%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 14%; text-align: right">90.9</td><td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">%</td><td style="width: 2%"> </td> <td style="width: 1%; text-align: left"> </td><td style="width: 14%; text-align: right">90.9</td><td style="width: 1%; text-align: left">%</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"> <td style="text-align: left">Global BioLife, Inc.</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">Nevada</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">April 14, 2017</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">81.8</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">81.8</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="text-align: left">BioLife Sugar, Inc</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">Nevada</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">April 23, 2018</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">90.9</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">90.9</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"> <td style="text-align: left">Happy Sugar Inc</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">Nevada</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">August 17, 2018</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">81.8</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">81.8</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"> <td style="text-align: left">Sweet Sense Inc.</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">Nevada</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">April 30, 2018</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">95.5</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">95.5</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td></tr> <tr style="vertical-align: bottom; background-color: White"> <td style="text-align: left">Global Sugar Solutions Inc.</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">Nevada</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: center">November 7, 2019</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">100</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td><td> </td> <td style="text-align: left"> </td><td style="text-align: right">100</td><td style="text-align: left">%</td></tr> </table> As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the aggregate noncontrolling interest was equity of $3,009,000 and $3,040,000, respectively, which are separately disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Reclassifications Costs associate with Sales and marketing have been reclassed from Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to conform with current period presentation. Also, Other operating expenses have been reclassed to Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to conform with current period presentation. Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed like basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do reflect recent market conditions. The Company’s investments are recorded at cost as the fair value of these investment in is not readily available. The fair value of notes payable approximates its carrying value as the stated interest rate reflects recent market conditions. IMPACT Biomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. <p id="xdx_841_ecustom--NotesReceivableUnearnedInterestAndRelatedRecognitionPolicyPolicyTextBlock_zKVeiP2StYh2" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Notes receivable, unearned interest, and related recognition The Company records all future payments of principal and interest on notes as notes receivable, which are then offset by the amount of any related unearned interest income. For financial statement purposes, the Company reports the net investment in the notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as current or long-term based on the maturity date of the underlying notes. Such net investment is comprised of the amount advanced on the loans, adjusting for net deferred loan fees or costs incurred at origination, amounts allocated to warrants received upon origination, and any payments received in advance, if applicable. The unearned interest is recognized over the term of the notes and the income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding. If applicable, any net deferred loan fees or costs, together with discounts recognized in connection with warrants acquired at origination, are accreted as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan. (Note 3) Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually and will be tested for impairment between annual tests, which will take place during the fourth quarter in 2024, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, and overall financial performance of the business. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. Cash flow projections are derived from one-year budgeted amounts plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are determined by management. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. No impairment was recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 or year ended December 31, 2023. (Note 5) Intangible Assets The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of December 31st, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. No impairment was recognized for the three or six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023. (Note 6) Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate long-lived assets such as property, equipment and definite lived intangible assets, such as patents, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets recognized in our financial statements may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider include whether there has been a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the way an asset is being utilized, or a significant change, delay or departure in our strategy for that asset, or a significant change in the macroeconomic environment. Our assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves significant judgment and estimation. These assessments reflect our assumptions, which, we believe, are consistent with the assumptions hypothetical marketplace participants use. Factors that we must estimate when performing recoverability and impairment tests include, among others, forecasted revenue, margin costs and the economic life of the asset. If impairment is indicated, we determine if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amounts of the asset or assets. If so, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. Our impairment loss calculations require that we apply judgment in identifying asset groups, estimating future cash flows, determining asset fair values, and estimating asset’s useful lives. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Based on the uncertainty of forecasts inherent with a new product, events such as the failure to generate forecasted revenue from new products could result in a non-cash impairment in future periods. Revenue Recognition The Company has adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborators for the development of its technologies. The terms of these agreements contain multiple performance obligations which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company’s technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, and/or (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner. Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under the agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and $445,000 for six months ended June 30, 2023. IMPACT Biomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Provision for Credit Losses On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary. Continuing Operations and Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating and investing activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, the Company has entered into an updated revolving promissory note which extended the maturity through September 30, 2030, and DSS, Inc. (“DSS”), the majority shareholder of the Company, intends to continue to fund the operations of the Company through a year from the date these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs. The Company has increased its efforts to raise additional capital through an initial public offering. The Company has engaged an underwriter and has been approved by the NYSE American for listing on its exchange. However, the Company cannot be certain that such capital (from its stockholders or third parties) will be available to the Company or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Recent Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of June 30, 2024, none of these pronouncements are expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. IMPACT Biomedical, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications Costs associate with Sales and marketing have been reclassed from Other operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 to conform with current period presentation. Also, Other operating expenses have been reclassed to Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to conform with current period presentation.

Loss per Share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted loss per share is computed like basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do reflect recent market conditions. The Company’s investments are recorded at cost as the fair value of these investment in is not readily available. The fair value of notes payable approximates its carrying value as the stated interest rate reflects recent market conditions.

Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

<p id="xdx_841_ecustom--NotesReceivableUnearnedInterestAndRelatedRecognitionPolicyPolicyTextBlock_zKVeiP2StYh2" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Notes receivable, unearned interest, and related recognition The Company records all future payments of principal and interest on notes as notes receivable, which are then offset by the amount of any related unearned interest income. For financial statement purposes, the Company reports the net investment in the notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as current or long-term based on the maturity date of the underlying notes. Such net investment is comprised of the amount advanced on the loans, adjusting for net deferred loan fees or costs incurred at origination, amounts allocated to warrants received upon origination, and any payments received in advance, if applicable. The unearned interest is recognized over the term of the notes and the income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding. If applicable, any net deferred loan fees or costs, together with discounts recognized in connection with warrants acquired at origination, are accreted as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan. (Note 3)

Goodwill Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually and will be tested for impairment between annual tests, which will take place during the fourth quarter in 2024, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, and overall financial performance of the business. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. Cash flow projections are derived from one-year budgeted amounts plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are determined by management. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. No impairment was recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024 or year ended December 31, 2023. (Note 5)

Intangible Assets The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of December 31st, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. No impairment was recognized for the three or six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023. (Note 6)

Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate long-lived assets such as property, equipment and definite lived intangible assets, such as patents, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets recognized in our financial statements may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider include whether there has been a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the way an asset is being utilized, or a significant change, delay or departure in our strategy for that asset, or a significant change in the macroeconomic environment. Our assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves significant judgment and estimation. These assessments reflect our assumptions, which, we believe, are consistent with the assumptions hypothetical marketplace participants use. Factors that we must estimate when performing recoverability and impairment tests include, among others, forecasted revenue, margin costs and the economic life of the asset. If impairment is indicated, we determine if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amounts of the asset or assets. If so, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. Our impairment loss calculations require that we apply judgment in identifying asset groups, estimating future cash flows, determining asset fair values, and estimating asset’s useful lives. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Based on the uncertainty of forecasts inherent with a new product, events such as the failure to generate forecasted revenue from new products could result in a non-cash impairment in future periods.

Revenue Recognition The Company has adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborators for the development of its technologies. The terms of these agreements contain multiple performance obligations which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company’s technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, and/or (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner. Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under the agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $50,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and $445,000 for six months ended June 30, 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary.

Continuing Operations and Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating and investing activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, the Company has entered into an updated revolving promissory note which extended the maturity through September 30, 2030, and DSS, Inc. (“DSS”), the majority shareholder of the Company, intends to continue to fund the operations of the Company through a year from the date these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs. The Company has increased its efforts to raise additional capital through an initial public offering. The Company has engaged an underwriter and has been approved by the NYSE American for listing on its exchange. However, the Company cannot be certain that such capital (from its stockholders or third parties) will be available to the Company or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company.

Recent Accounting Standards The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of June 30, 2024, none of these pronouncements are expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Note 3. Notes Receivable On February 19, 2021, Impact BioMedical, Inc, entered into a promissory note with an individual. The Company loaned the principal sum of $206,000, with interest at a rate of 6.5%, and maturity date of August 19, 2022 later amended to February 19, 2026. Monthly payments are due on the twenty-first day of each month and continuing each month thereafter until February 19, 2026. This note is secured by certain real property situated in Collier County, Florida. The outstanding principal and interest as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was approximately $202,000 and $203,000, respectively, of which $135,000 is classified in Current notes receivable and the remaining $67,000 is classified as Notes receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

No goodwill impairment was identified as a result of these tests. As of September 30, 2023, a quantitative analysis was prepared utilizing the Market Approach and Income Approach valuing the Company. The guideline public company Market Approach produced a mean business enterprise value indication using estimated 2026 results of $49.8 million. The Income Approach was based upon the use of a discounted pro forma cash flow model and produced a business enterprise value indication of $44.9 million. A weighting of 30% to the weighted value indicated was applied under the Market Approach, and a weighting of 70% to the value indicated under the Income Approach. A lower weighting was applied to the Market Approach due to the fact of using forecasted earnings of the Company. Based upon the above weightings, an initial value of $46.4 million for Impact was calculated. Adding cash of $201,000 to the initial business enterprise value produced a concluded business enterprise value of $46.6 million (rounded) for Impact. Subtracting interest-bearing debt of $11.9 million, results in a Fair Value for the common equity of Impact of $34.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the indicated equity value exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $5.1 million or 14.7%. No circumstances or events have occurred since the most recent analysis that would indicate the need for an impairment.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Impact BioMedical, Inc. (the “Company”, “Impact BioMedical”, “We”), incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 16, 2018, through the utilization of its intellectual property rights, or through investment in, or through acquisition of companies in the biohealth and biomedical fields, focuses on the advancement of drug discovery and prevention, inhibition, and treatment of neurological, oncological, and immune related diseases. The Company is also developing open-air defense initiatives, which curb transmission of air-borne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and influenza. Global BioLife, Inc. (“Global BioLife”), one of the Company’s subsidiaries and the main operating company of the group, focuses on research in four main areas: (i) the “Linebacker” project, which aims to develop a universal therapeutic drug platform; (ii) a new sugar substitute called “Laetose,”; (iii) a multi-use fragrance called “3F” (Functional Fragrance Formulation); and (iv) Equivir/Nemovir, a blend of natural polyphenols designed as an antimicrobial medication. Linebacker Unlike the traditional approach to treat individual diseases with specific drugs, the Linebacker platform seeks to offer a breakthrough therapeutic option for multiple diseases. Linebacker is designed to work by inhibiting a cascade of inflammatory responses responsible for many diseases. Its design is in direct contrast to the traditional approach of targeting individual diseases with specific drugs. Laetose We have also developed a low-calorie, low glycemic level, natural modified sugar through Global BioLife. The product, “Laetose,” is designed to possess low glycemic properties and mitigate inflammation. The Company is presently seeking to license Laetose. Global BioLife established a joint venture, Sweet Sense, Inc. (“Sweet Sense”), with Quality Ingredients, LLC for the development, manufacture, and global distribution of the new sugar substitute. Functional Fragrance Formulation (“3F”) Global BioLife has established a collaboration with U.S.-based Chemia Corporation (“Chemia”) to develop specialized fragrances to counter mosquito-borne diseases such as Zika and Dengue, among other medical applications. The 3F mosquito fragrance product is made from specialized oils sourced from botanicals that mosquitos avoid. Global BioLife is seeking to commercialize this product. Together with Chemia, we are attempting to license 3F. Any potential profits from the 3F project will be split between Global BioLife and Chemia pursuant to the terms of the 20- year Royalty Agreement. Equivir Equivir, is a polyphenol compound that is believed to be successful in antiviral infection treatments. Equivir is a patented medication, which has broad antiviral efficacy against multiple types of infectious disease. As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including possible delays in our research, testing and marketing efforts or wider economic downturns.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies Principles of Consolidation – The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending dates and for the reporting periods as follows: Schedule of Condensed Financial Statements <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed like basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022. Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Fair value is defined 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do reflect recent market conditions. The Company’s investments are recorded at cost as the fair value of these investment in is not readily available. The fair value of notes payable approximates its carrying value as the stated interest rate reflects recent market conditions. <p id="xdx_84D_ecustom--NotesReceivableUnearnedInterestAndRelatedRecognitionPolicyPolicyTextBlock_z4Lm1A6eLef3" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt">Notes receivable, unearned interest, and related recognition – The Company records all future payments of principal and interest on notes as notes receivable, which are then offset by the amount of any related unearned interest income. For financial statement purposes, the Company reports the net investment in the notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as current or long-term based on the maturity date of the underlying notes. Such net investment is comprised of the amount advanced on the loans, adjusting for net deferred loan fees or costs incurred at origination, amounts allocated to warrants received upon origination, and any payments received in advance, if applicable. The unearned interest is recognized over the term of the notes and the income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding. Net deferred loan fees or costs, together with discounts recognized in connection with warrants acquired at origination, are accreted as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan. Recent Accounting Standards - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of December 31, 2023, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. As of year-ended December 31, 2023 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary. Investments – Investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, not accounted for under the equity method, are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, the investment is recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments related to observable transactions for the same or similar securities, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity method investments, the Company regularly reviews its investments to determine whether there is a decline in fair value below book value. If there is a decline that is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to fair value. (See Note 5 for further discussion on investments) Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the assets whichever is shorter. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Any gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place. Research and Development - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $1,147,000 for the year-ended December 31, 2023, and $1,226,000 for year-ended December 31, 2022. Goodwill – Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually and will be tested for impairment between annual tests, which takes place during the fourth quarter, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, and overall financial performance of the business. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. Cash flow projections are derived from one-year budgeted amounts plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are determined by management. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. No impairment was recognized during the year-ended December 31, 2023 or year ended December 31, 2022. (Note 7) Intangible Assets - The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of December 31st, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. No impairment was recognized as of year-ended December 31, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022. (Note 8). Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate long-lived assets such as property, equipment and definite lived intangible assets, such as patents, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets recognized in our financial statements may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider include whether there has been a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the way an asset is being utilized, or a significant change, delay or departure in our strategy for that asset, or a significant change in the macroeconomic environment, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves significant judgment and estimation. These assessments reflect our assumptions, which, we believe, are consistent with the assumptions hypothetical marketplace participants use. Factors that we must estimate when performing recoverability and impairment tests include, among others, forecasted revenue, margin costs and the economic life of the asset. If impairment is indicated, we determine if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amounts of the asset or assets. If so, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. Our impairment loss calculations require that we apply judgment in identifying asset groups, estimating future cash flows, determining asset fair values, and estimating asset’s useful lives. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Based on the uncertainty of forecasts inherent with a new product, events such as the failure to generate forecasted revenue from new products could result in a non-cash impairment in future periods. Revenue - The Company has adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborators for the development of its technologies. The terms of these agreements contain multiple performance obligations which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company’s technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, and/or (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner, Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under the agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied. Provision for Credit Losses - On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2023 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary. Continuing Operations and Going Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating and investing activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, the Company has entered into an updated revolving promissory note which extended the maturity through September 30, 2030, and DSS, Inc. (“DSS”), the majority shareholder of the Company, intends to continue to fund the operations of the Company through a year from the date these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs. The Company has increased its efforts to raise additional capital through an initial public offering. The Company has engaged an underwriter and has been approved by the NYSE American for listing on its exchange. However, the Company cannot be certain that such capital (from its stockholders or third parties) will be available to the Company or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Reclassifications – Certain amounts on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation – The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company’s subsidiaries, plus the minority investors’ share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest. The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending dates and for the reporting periods as follows: Schedule of Condensed Financial Statements <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

Use of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Earnings (Loss) per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed like basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – Fair value is defined 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include: ● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. ● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and ● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do reflect recent market conditions. The Company’s investments are recorded at cost as the fair value of these investment in is not readily available. The fair value of notes payable approximates its carrying value as the stated interest rate reflects recent market conditions.

<p id="xdx_84D_ecustom--NotesReceivableUnearnedInterestAndRelatedRecognitionPolicyPolicyTextBlock_z4Lm1A6eLef3" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0pt">Notes receivable, unearned interest, and related recognition – The Company records all future payments of principal and interest on notes as notes receivable, which are then offset by the amount of any related unearned interest income. For financial statement purposes, the Company reports the net investment in the notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as current or long-term based on the maturity date of the underlying notes. Such net investment is comprised of the amount advanced on the loans, adjusting for net deferred loan fees or costs incurred at origination, amounts allocated to warrants received upon origination, and any payments received in advance, if applicable. The unearned interest is recognized over the term of the notes and the income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding. Net deferred loan fees or costs, together with discounts recognized in connection with warrants acquired at origination, are accreted as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan.

Recent Accounting Standards - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of December 31, 2023, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. As of year-ended December 31, 2023 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary.

Investments – Investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value, not accounted for under the equity method, are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, the investment is recorded at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments related to observable transactions for the same or similar securities, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. For equity method investments, the Company regularly reviews its investments to determine whether there is a decline in fair value below book value. If there is a decline that is other-than-temporary, the investment is written down to fair value. (See Note 5 for further discussion on investments)

Property, Plant and Equipment – Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the assets whichever is shorter. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Any gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place.

Research and Development - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $1,147,000 for the year-ended December 31, 2023, and $1,226,000 for year-ended December 31, 2022.

Goodwill – Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually and will be tested for impairment between annual tests, which takes place during the fourth quarter, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate the carrying amount may be impaired. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, and overall financial performance of the business. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. Cash flow projections are derived from one-year budgeted amounts plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are determined by management. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. No impairment was recognized during the year-ended December 31, 2023 or year ended December 31, 2022. (Note 7)

Intangible Assets - The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of December 31st, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. No impairment was recognized as of year-ended December 31, 2023 or the year ended December 31, 2022. (Note 8). Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets We evaluate long-lived assets such as property, equipment and definite lived intangible assets, such as patents, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets recognized in our financial statements may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider include whether there has been a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the way an asset is being utilized, or a significant change, delay or departure in our strategy for that asset, or a significant change in the macroeconomic environment, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves significant judgment and estimation. These assessments reflect our assumptions, which, we believe, are consistent with the assumptions hypothetical marketplace participants use. Factors that we must estimate when performing recoverability and impairment tests include, among others, forecasted revenue, margin costs and the economic life of the asset. If impairment is indicated, we determine if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amounts of the asset or assets. If so, an impairment loss is measured and recognized. Our impairment loss calculations require that we apply judgment in identifying asset groups, estimating future cash flows, determining asset fair values, and estimating asset’s useful lives. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Based on the uncertainty of forecasts inherent with a new product, events such as the failure to generate forecasted revenue from new products could result in a non-cash impairment in future periods.

Revenue - The Company has adopted ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”). The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborators for the development of its technologies. The terms of these agreements contain multiple performance obligations which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company’s technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, and/or (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner, Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under the agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied.

Provision for Credit Losses - On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted amended accounting guidance “ASU No.2016-13 – Credit Losses” which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers’ abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. Prior to 2022, the allowance for credit losses represented the amount that in management’s judgment reflected incurred credit losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio as of the balance sheet date. As of December 31, 2023 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary.

Continuing Operations and Going Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating and investing activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. To continue as a going concern, the Company has entered into an updated revolving promissory note which extended the maturity through September 30, 2030, and DSS, Inc. (“DSS”), the majority shareholder of the Company, intends to continue to fund the operations of the Company through a year from the date these financial statements were available to be issued. The Company’s management intends to take actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs. The Company has increased its efforts to raise additional capital through an initial public offering. The Company has engaged an underwriter and has been approved by the NYSE American for listing on its exchange. However, the Company cannot be certain that such capital (from its stockholders or third parties) will be available to the Company or whether such capital will be available on terms that are acceptable to the Company. Reclassifications – Certain amounts on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022, have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

No goodwill impairment was identified as a result of these tests. As of September 30, 2023, a quantitative analysis was prepared utilizing the Market Approach and Income Approach valuing the Company. The guideline public company Market Approach produced a mean business enterprise value indication using estimated 2026 results of $49.8 million. The Income Approach was based upon the use of a discounted pro forma cash flow model and produced a business enterprise value indication of $44.9 million. A weighting of <span id="xdx_903_ecustom--WeightedGoodwillMarketApproachPercentage_iI_pid_dp_c20230930__us-gaap--ValuationTechniqueAxis__us-gaap--MarketApproachValuationTechniqueMember_zNvqzVDiq6M2" title="Weighted good will market approach, percentage">30% to the weighted value indicated was applied under the Market Approach, and a weighting of <span id="xdx_900_ecustom--WeightedGoodwillIncomeApproachPercentage_iI_pid_dp_c20230930__us-gaap--ValuationTechniqueAxis__us-gaap--IncomeApproachValuationTechniqueMember_zy2EzlAair4f" title="Weighted goodwill income approach, percentage">70% to the value indicated under the Income Approach. A lower weighting was applied to the Market Approach due to the fact of using forecasted earnings of the Company. Based upon the above weightings, an initial value of $46.4 million for Impact was calculated. Adding cash of $201,000 to the initial business enterprise value produced a concluded business enterprise value of $46.6 million (rounded) for Impact. Subtracting interest-bearing debt of $11.9 million, results in a Fair Value for the common equity of Impact of $34.7 million. As of September 30, 2023, the indicated equity value exceeded the carrying amount by approximately $5.1 million or 14.7%.

9. SHORT TERM DEBT Note payable, related party On December 31, 2020, and later amended, the Company executed a Revolving Promissory Note (“Note”) with DSS, a related party, which accrues interest at a rate of 4.25% and is due in full at the maturity date of September 30, 2030. The revolving nature of this Note permits principal amounts borrowed to be repaid and reborrowed. In the case of default, at DSS’s option, (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or (ii) such lesser rate of interest as Lender in its sole discretion may choose to charge; but never more than the Maximum Lawful Rate. In January 2024, this Note was amended to extend the maturity date to September 30, 2030 with interest calculated at the Wall Street Journal prime rate plus 0.50%. The payment of principal and interest is on demand. If no demand is made, interest is to be paid monthly beginning on February 29, 2024 through January 31, 2026. Principal and interest in an amount approximating $126,000 is to be paid monthly thereafter until the Note matures. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance, inclusive of interest was $12,074,000 and $9,991,000, respectively.

The Company does not have other temporary differences associated with the amortization of intangible assets. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the total deferred tax assets carry-forward were $3,554,000 and $2,790,000, respectively. The deferred tax assets could be carried forward indefinitely. The full utilization of the deferred tax assets in the future is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. Considering the development stage of the Company, management believed that it was probable that the Company would not use tax assets in the near future. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of an equal amount has been established. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the valuation allowance increased by $1,014,000 and decreased by $1,163,000, respectively. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recognized no interest and penalties.
