EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report is the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 of Enveric Biosciences, Inc., which was formerly known as AMERI Holdings, Inc., prior to the completion on December 30, 2020 of the tender offer described below.

On December 30, 2020, pursuant to the previously announced Tender Offer Support Agreement and Termination of Amalgamation Agreement dated August 12, 2020, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Support Agreement and Termination of Amalgamation Agreement dated December 18, 2020 (as amended, the “Tender Agreement”), by and among us, Jay Pharma Inc., a Canada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Jay Pharma”), and certain other signatories thereto, we completed a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay. Following the effective time of the Offer, we changed the name of our company from AMERI Holdings, Inc. to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. and effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. Immediately following completion of the Offer and the transactions contemplated in the Tender Agreement, but without giving effect to the issuance of the Series B Warrants (as defined below), (i) the former Jay Pharma equity holders (including certain investors in private placements that closed prior to the completion of the Offer) owned approximately 82.3% of the Company; (ii) former Ameri equity holders owned approximately 14.5% of the Company; and (iii) a financial advisor to Jay Pharma and Ameri owned approximately 3.2% of the Company.

The common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, previously trading through the close of business on December 30, 2020 under the ticker symbol “AMRH,” commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market, on a post-reverse stock split adjusted basis, under the ticker symbol “ENVB” on December 31, 2020.

Closing of Spin-Off

As previously reported, on January 10, 2020, Ameri and Ameri100 Inc. (“Private Ameri”) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Ameri Share Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Ameri agreed to contribute, transfer and convey to Private Ameri all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the existing subsidiaries of Ameri, constituting the entire business and operations of Ameri and its subsidiaries, and wherein Private Ameri agreed to assume the liabilities of such subsidiaries (the “Spin-Off”).

On December 30, 2020, pursuant to the Ameri Share Purchase Agreement, Ameri consummated the Spin-Off and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock of Ameri (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) were redeemed for an equal number of shares of Series A preferred stock of Private Ameri (“Private Ameri Preferred Stock”). Ameri contributed, transferred and conveyed to Private Ameri all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the existing subsidiaries of Ameri, constituting the entire business and operations of Ameri and its subsidiaries, and Private Ameri assumed the liabilities of such subsidiaries.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective as of 4:02 pm Eastern Time on December 30, 2020, we filed an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, at a ratio of one share for four shares. The net result of the reverse stock split was a 1-for-4 reverse stock split. We made proportionate adjustments to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options, restricted stock units (if any) and warrants outstanding as of the effective times of the reverse stock split in accordance with the terms of each security based on the split ratio. Also, we reduced the number of shares reserved for issuance under our equity compensation plans proportionately based on the split ratios. Except for adjustments that resulted from the rounding up of fractional shares to the next whole share, the reverse stock split affected all stockholders uniformly and did not change any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in our Company. All share and related option and warrant information presented in this annual report have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reduced number of shares outstanding and the increase in share price which resulted from these actions; however, common stock share and per share amounts in certain of the documents incorporated by reference herein have not been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

In connection with the Tender Agreement, we filed an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and adopted amended and restated bylaws on December 30, 2020. For additional information regarding our organizational documents, please refer to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 6, 2021.

Delisting of Ameri Warrants

On December 30, 2020, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that our listed warrants (the “AMRHW Warrants”) would be suspended from listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. A Form 25-NSE was filed with the SEC on December 30, 2020, which removed the AMRHW Warrants from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The terms of the AMRHW Warrants are not affected by the delisting, and the AMRHW Warrants may still be exercised in accordance with their terms to purchase common stock of the Company.

The listing of the common stock, which is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ENVB, is not affected by the delisting of the AMRHW Warrants.

We are headquarteredan early-development-stage biosciences company with an initial focus on developing innovative, evidence-based prescription products and combination therapies containing cannabinoids to address unmet needs in Princeton, NJ,cancer care. We seek to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, initially by developing palliative and have offices acrosssupportive care products for people suffering from certain side effects of cancer and cancer treatment such as pain or skin irritation. We currently intend to offer such palliative and supportive care products in the United States, following approval through established regulatory pathways.

We are also aiming to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid combination therapies for hard-to-treat cancers, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and several other indications which are supported by offices in India.  Our model invertscurrently being researched.

We intend to bring together leading oncology clinicians, researchers, academic and industry partners so as to develop both external proprietary products and a robust internal pipeline of product candidates aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for cancer patients.

With a strong SAP focus, our client partnerships anchor around SAP cloud services, artificial intelligence, internetbuilding of things and robotic process automation. We are pursuing an acquisition strategy that gives us a unique opportunity to disrupt the business model of offshore IT service providers.

Our Industry

Background

We operate in an intensely competitive IT outsourcing services industry, which competes on quality, service and costs.  Though we are able to differentiate our company on all of these axes, our India-based capabilities ensure that labor arbitrage is our fundamental differentiator. Most offshore IT services providers have undertaken a "forward integration" to boost their capabilities and presence in their client geographies (large offshore presence with a small, local presence). Largetargeted selling organization and will potentially utilize a hybrid approach based on the product indication and the market opportunity.

In developing our product candidates, we intend to focus on cannabinoids derived from hemp, other botanical sources, and synthetic materials containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in order to comply with U.S. playersfederal regulations. Of the potential cannabinoids to be used in therapeutic formulations, THC, which is responsible for the psychoactive properties of marijuana, can result in undesirable mood effects. Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), on the other hand, focus on "backward integration"are not psychotropic and are therefore more attractive candidates for translation into therapeutic practice. In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain THC; however, we only intend to scaledo so in jurisdictions where THC is legal. These product candidates will then be studied through a typical Food and boost their offshore narrative (offshore being the "back office" for the local operations).  Today the IT services industry is marked byDrug Administration (“FDA”) drug approval process.

Go-to Market Strategy and Business Approach

We have a two-step go-to-market strategy:

The convergence of cloud computing, virtualization (applications and infrastructure) and utility computing is around the corner. The ability of a vendor to offer an integrated basket of services on a SaaS model, will be a key differentiator.
Enterprises are becoming more digital. There is a strong convergence of human and machine intelligence thanks to drivers like advanced sensors and machine learning. Operations and technology are converging. 
Contracts & Decision MakingLarge multi-year contracts will be renegotiatedSkincare Product Candidates: Develop product candidates that target skincare-related ailments common among cancer patients, such as radiodermatitis, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, pruritus, rashes, and broken down into shorter duration contracts and will involve multiple vendors rather than sole sourcing.dry skin.
The ability to demonstrate value through Proof of Concepts (POCs) and willingness to offer outcome based pricing are becoming critical considerations for decision making, Requests for Proposal (RFP)-driven decisions are increasingly rare.
The SAP Industry




SAP as an Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") product has become an industry by itself. The core SAP enterprise offering has been reinforced with cloud-based products that make the entire SAP ecosystem extremely attractive from our perspective due to the following attributes:
The alignment of SAP to enterprises is extremely strong.  Given the reliance of enterprises on applications, clients tend to make long-term bets on SAP as an enterprise solution.Combination Therapy: Advance novel cannabinoid combination therapies for persons with cancer, starting with programs in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).
According to the September 2014 "HfS Blueprint Report" from by HfS Research Ltd., the SAP market is a multi-billion-dollar market that is very fragmented (there are over 5,000 consulting firms), with the three largest service providers capturing an increasing share of the market.
A significant number of SAP customers must move to S/4 HANA by 2025.

Prevalence

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, based on 2013-2015 data, approximately 38% of men and women will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetime. In 2015, there were an estimated 15,112,098 people living with cancer in the U.S. The number of new cases of cancer was 439 per 100,000 men and women per year.

Despite widespread demand, the pharmaceutical market lacks products that address the unique supportive care needs of cancer patients. However, we believe that research suggests that cannabis, as a palliative treatment for cancer patients, appears to be a well-tolerated option to help patients cope with malignancy-related symptoms. For example, researchers from the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, Israel analyzed data gathered at Tikun Olam’s central clinic from cancer patients to whom medical cannabis was given for palliative-care purposes between March 2015 and February 2017 (Schleiderab, European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2018). The primary symptoms prior to treatment reported among the patients to whom medical cannabis was given during the relevant timeframe were sleep problems (78.4%), pain (77.7%), weakness (72.7%), nausea (64.6%), and lack of appetite (48.9%). Approximately 51% of the applicable patients reported an 8 out of 10 on the pain scale. Of the relevant patient population, 17% were given Tikun Olam’s cannabidiol-dominant strain “Avidekel,” and after six months, 95.9% of patients reported improvement in their condition. Note, however, that these are anecdotal reports, which may or may not be indicative of the results that we may see from clinical studies conducted pursuant to an IND.

According to a separate survey of 237 oncologists, 80% of these oncologists discussed medical cannabinoids with patients where nearly half recommended them clinically (Braun IM, J Clin Oncol, 2018). The same survey found that 67% of the oncologists viewed cannabinoids as a helpful adjunct to standard pain management strategies, and 65% viewed cannabinoids as equally or more effective than standard treatments for anorexia and cachexia.

Patient Interest

Research also shows that most cancer patients have a strong interest in learning about cannabinoids during treatment. According to the Washington State Survey of Cancer Patients, 74% of surveyed patients wanted information from cancer care providers (Pergam SA, Cancer, 2017). The same survey found that 66% of patients had used cannabis in the past, 24% used in the last year, and 21% used in the last month.

Moreover, cancer patients tend to be heavy cannabis users. A survey of active cannabis users who have cancer (Pergam SA, Cancer, 2017) found that 74% used cannabis at least once a week, 56% used cannabis at least daily, and 31% used cannabis multiple times a day. Active users consumed cannabis primarily for physical symptoms such as pain and nausea or for psychological reasons such as coping with stress, depression, and sleep difficulty.

Lack of Research

In a 2017 report, the National Academy of Sciences noted that, although cannabis has both therapeutic value and public health risks, there is a systemic lack of research aimed at properly evaluating cannabis-based therapies. The National Academy of Sciences offered recommendations that included developing standards and benchmarks to guide cannabis research, addressing research gaps to evaluate the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use, improving surveillance capacity to ensure that sufficient data is available, and addressing regulatory barriers to cannabis research and proposing strategies for supporting a comprehensive cannabis research agenda.

Critically, only 30% of oncologists felt sufficiently informed to make recommendations regarding medical cannabis, suggesting a large unmet opportunity to educate oncologists and provide research that supports the safety and efficacy of Enveric product candidates. Among the oncologists who discussed medical cannabis with patients, 78% said that patients were the ones to express interest on most occasions.

Potential for Premium Pricing

We plan to conduct extensive clinical research in an effort to establish the safety of its prospective product candidates in cancer patients, and, eventually, help to identify and/or develop cannabinoid medicines intended to reduce various unwanted side effects that commonly affect cancer patients, target specific patient sequelae (e.g., cancer pain, anxiety, or nausea), and target specific side effects to the skin as a result of radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

8

We believe that prescription only medicines containing cannabinoids (including product with hemp-based ingredients) will carry a price premium. Upon obtaining FDA approval for our product candidates, we are striving to distinguish ourselves from a rising tide of cannabis industry participants by:

Creating product candidates specific to the side effects of cancer and cancer treatment, with a novel focus on skincare.
Employing evidence-based best practices specific to cancer patients.
Generating clinical research to support the safety and effectiveness of its product candidates in cancer patients.
Leveraging FDA approval, as most over-the-counter (“OTC”) products sold are not FDA approved.

We believe these will be an important differentiator for people with cancer and oncologists who are faced with high patient demand and in still relatively novel, unproven field of medical cannabis. Accordingly, we anticipate eventually being able to charge a premium for those of our prospective product candidates that are successfully commercialized. Further, more than one-third of cancer patients who used medical cannabis were new users (K. Martell, Curr Oncol, 2018), suggesting the potential to establish strong brand loyalty from cancer patients and oncologists.

Conditions Currently Targeted by Enveric

Radiodermatitis and Other Skin Conditions

Radiation therapy is considered an essential component of cancer treatment, with nearly 50% of cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy at some point during the course of their treatments. Radiodermatitis, or radiation-induced skin injury, is one of the most common adverse effects of radiation therapy. Of those receiving radiation therapy, approximately 90% experience some form of radiodermatitis.

Dry skin is another common adverse side effect of certain cancer therapies. For example, a recent study of patients being treated with chemotherapy for breast cancer found that 57.9% of the patients reported dry skin. Rashes are the most common side effect from targeted cancer therapies with some treatments. The incidence of rash varies based on the type of cancer and drug used. For instance, skin rash occurs in up to 90% of patients treated with Erbitux, while other drugs may only affect half of patients. Pruritus (itchy skin) is a common adverse side effect of cancer therapies; a recent survey of 379 cancer survivors reported that 36% experienced pruritus during treatment.

To address the unique skincare needs of persons with cancer, we are seeking to formulate a cannabinoid-based ointment or other topical drug product for skincare conditions, such as radiodermatitis (among other conditions, as applicable).

Current Standard of Care

The current standard of care for radiodermatitis consists of a combination of preventative routines and symptomatic management based on dermatitis grade. Preventative skin care routines generally involve keeping the area clean and dry while avoiding skin irritants and unnecessary friction or skin stress (Salvo, Curr Onvol, 2010; Wong, Supp Care Canc, 2013). Applying lanolin-free moisturizer 2-3 times a day throughout the duration of treatment is also recommended, with some evidence suggesting that topical corticosteroids used after radiotherapy sessions may provide some benefit as well (Salvo, Curr Onvol, 2010; Wong, Supp Care Canc, 2013).

Despite the use of these interventions, up to 85% of individuals will experience a moderate to severe skin reaction during their disease course (Salvo, Curr Oncol, 2010). This highlights the need for better preventative strategies to reduce the incidence and severity of skin toxicity. The incomplete success of therapies to date likely relates to the multiple toxic mechanisms of radiation, including direct DNA toxicity, oxidative stress, and both acute and chronic inflammatory reactions. Therapies that can address multiple aspects of radiation toxicity on the cellular level are likely to have the most success as prophylaxis and treatment for these patients.

9

Our Current Development Plans

We intend to develop products that address unmet medical needs in palliative and supportive care for cancer patients. The first product will address radiodermatitis and will enter into clinical trials after an IND submission has been filed. We then intend to seek FDA approval via the new-drug-application (NDA 505(b)(1)) pathway.

Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly aggressive and almost universally fatal disease. Even with the most extensive surgical resections and the most aggressive radiation and chemotherapy regimens, median overall survival is as low as 15- to 19-months (Stupp, NEJM, 2005). This is likely due, in part, to an intrinsic propensity for treatment resistance and, as a result, the essentially unavoidable event of tumor recurrence. The current prognosis for most patients necessitates significant advances in the standard of care to improve both overall survival and patient quality of life.

We believe that CBD has the potential to influence many of the key pathways involved in GBM pathogenesis, from tumor stemness and proliferation to angiogenesis and local invasion. GBM tumors express CB2 receptors, through which CBD and other cannabinoids are thought to exert their anti-cancer efforts (Ellert-Miklaszewska, Adv Exp Med Biol, 2013). The prospect of CBD used in combination with other pharmacologic interventions holds promise for the treatment of GBM. The development of clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of CBD combination therapies may represent an important step towards improving the clinical outcomes in a population of patients with few other effective therapeutic options.

According to a study by Kenyon in 2018, seven out of seven patients with GBM experienced a positive clinical response, although four ultimately succumbed to the disease. CBD was hypothesized to be able to reduce the growth and survival of GBM cell lines by disrupting the normal function of the cell, or cell cycle arrest, and the induction of programmed cell death, or apoptosis (Marcu, Mol Cancer Ther, 2010). Cannabinoids have been shown to promote cancer cell death through the overproduction of a lipid subset, called ceramides, as accumulation of ceramides in GBM cells may prevent the cell from functioning normally. Additionally, the generation of unstable oxygen molecules, or reactive oxygen species, can damage nearby molecules and trigger cell death (Dumitru, Front Mol Neurosci, 2018).

Enveric’s Prospective Product Candidates

We plan to evaluate a novel combination of CBD and an existing chemotherapeutic agent for treating GBM. We intend to use, as part of the study, a patent pending formulation developed by a partnership of three Israeli universities led by the Weizmann Institute, and now owned by Enveric.

Our proposed clinical cancer study plan consists of a Phase 1/2 study in Israel of oral synthetic CBD extract, given alone or in combination with clomiphene concurrently with dose-dense temolozomide chemotherapy for patients with recurrent or progressive GBM, designed as an open label, two-arm, randomized prospective study. An initial dose limiting toxicity (DLT) cohort will be investigated in a phase 1 study in order to rule out any toxicity related to the combination. If successful, recruitment would continue, and then 40 patients would be randomized into two arms, with 20 patients in each arm: (i) synthetic CBD extract plus clomiphene and temolozomide, and (ii) synthetic CBD extract plus temolozomide. The primary endpoints would be progression free survival. The progression of the disease would be determined from a Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) and a tumor assessment based on MRI scans. Safety parameters would include serious adverse events and other adverse events as reported by the patients and caregivers.

As of the date of annual report, all pre-clinical studies, and the draft clinical study protocol related to our clinical cancer program, have been completed. Dr. Tali Siegal has been selected as the primary investigator, and the protocol is currently under review by the hospital’s internal review board (IRB). The Israeli Ministry of Health, Center for Cannabis (Yakar) has given preliminary approval, and Enveric is currently awaiting its primary approval.

Neuropathy

We intend to conduct a clinical study to validate the efficacy of topical cream or oral medication infused with high-potency CBD and/or CBG to help prevent and treat the painful discomfort of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy.

Additional Potential Development Projects

Supportive Care Product Candidates

In the future, we may also develop additional prescription medicines that are derived from natural sources that are targeted to major cancer treatment side effects, including other skin conditions, cancer-related distress, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), lack of appetite, pain, and insomnia.

10

For many patients, the concept of palliative care often carries a negative connotation, conjuring ideas and fears of the end of life. However, the purpose of palliative care is to improve the patient experience and reduce suffering in all areas of life, including physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. In fact, incorporating palliative care into cancer management has the potential to not only improve quality of life, but may also prolong survival (Temei, NEJM, 2010; Ferrell, J Clin Oncol, 2017). We avoid the negative connotations of palliative care by using the term “supportive care”.

The physical ailments experienced by cancer patients vary widely based on the individual, the type and stage of cancer, and the choice of therapy. Three of the most common and perhaps most debilitating complaints addressed by palliative care are chronic pain, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and severe body wasting (Reeve, JNCI, 2014). Although efforts have been made to ameliorate these symptoms, many patients do not achieve adequate relief. The need for new therapeutics to improve these debilitating symptoms has gained increasing attention in recent years.

Combination Therapies

We seek to advance novel treatment for cancer based on a combination of cannabidiol (CBD) and chemotherapeutic agents, including clomiphene, an anti-estrogen binding site (AEBS) inhibitor, which can regulate cell growth, with a potential for activity in multiple cancer cell lines, including breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia.

Preclinical data suggests that combination therapies may improve the activity of certain chemotherapies or dendritic cell-based cancer immunotherapies, potentially enabling more potent or longer-lasting therapeutic effects. In multiple in vitro and in vivo models of solid tumors and blood cancers, CBD has been shown to reduce tumor size, potential for invasion and metastasis, and development of new tumor-associated blood vessels. In combination with CBD, clomiphene has been shown to reduce cell viability and increase rates of programmed cell death in certain cancer cell lines, while also inhibiting tumor growth in vivo.

Because cancer cells contain largely the same proteins and other targets as the healthy cells in the body, there are few cancer-specific druggable targets; chemotherapies often simply target all rapidly proliferating cells in the body. While chemotherapy can be successful in suppressing tumors, there are many side effects associated with use; side effects may increase with higher doses. The ability to provide the same or greater therapeutic effect with a smaller overall dose of the chemotherapeutic agent may minimize the risk and severity of side effects in subjects and allow for the treatment of certain patients with weakened immune systems.

Cannabinoid Combination with AEBS Inhibitors

The use of cannabis in cancer management has traditionally been relegated to symptomatic management, including as an analgesic, anti-emetic, and appetite stimulant. However, more recently, mounting evidence has suggested a therapeutic, anti-tumor effect of certain naturally occurring cannabinoids. Specifically, CBD has been shown to reduce tumor size, the potential for invasion and metastasis, and development of new tumor-associated blood vessels in multiple in vitro and in vivo models of solid tumors and blood cancers (Ladin, Front Pharmacol, 2016; Massi, Br J Pharmacol, 2013).

There is also evidence to suggest that CBD used in combination with traditional chemotherapies and a certain class of compounds, the cholesterol epoxide hydrolase (ChEH) / antiestrogen binding site (AEBS) inhibitors, may be more efficacious than CBD alone (Scott, Int J Oncol, 2017). AEBS regulates cholesterol metabolism and, consequently, cell growth (Payre, Mol Cancer Ther, 2008).

Two AEBS inhibitors that we believe may be especially promising are clomiphene citrate and DPPE. Clomiphene is an estrogen modulator typically used to treat infertility. However, in combination with CBD, clomiphene was recently shown to synergistically reduce cell viability and increase rates of programmed cell death in certain cancer cell lines, while also inhibiting tumor growth in vivo (WO2017072773A1). DPPE, on the other hand, is a tamoxifen derivative that is thought to sensitize cancer cells to the activities of chemotherapies. As a tumor grows and mutates, cancer cells can become resistant to therapies in several ways – tumors can overexpress efflux pumps that remove certain agents from the cell or can upregulate enzymes that metabolize and inactivate chemotherapies. DPPE was shown to potentiate the toxicity of multiple chemotherapeutic drugs by both mechanisms (Georges, Biochemical Pharm, 2014; Brandes, Cancer Chemother Pharmacol, 2000).

Cannabinoid Combination with Immunotherapies

Dendritic cells (DCs) process antigen material and present it on the cell surface to the T-cells of the immune system. A range of cancer immunotherapies involving DCs have been used to generate tumor-specific immune responses that have had variable success in clinical trials.

CBD may cause DCs to increase their production of IL-12 p70, an interleukin-12 (IL-12) family cytokine that may heighten the immune system’s response against certain cancers. IL-12 is closely linked to the activity of the immune system and is produced by DCs. IL-12 can bring T-cells and natural killer cells out of dormancy so that a heightened immune response against tumors is possible. By aiding in the generation of CD4+ (T helper cells), IL-12 also can also elicit a longer lasting and amplified anti-tumor response.

11

Injected IL-12 has presented challenges in terms of its toxicity and dosage control and there is a need for generating heightened levels of IL-12, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Preclinical research suggests that CBD may induce DCs to increase their production of IL-12 p70.

Intellectual Property

We are a party to certain license agreements as described below, and going forward it intends to both develop intellectual property and license intellectual property from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and research institutions which would cover research stage and clinical stage assets to build a pipeline of product candidates.

Tikun Olam In-License

We hold limited rights to several plant patent applications as an in-licensee of Tikun Olam.

Tikun Olam employs evidence-based medicine and other best practices, and its products have been studied in numerous medical trials. Tikun Olam’s patient databases include 12,000+ persons treated across a variety of conditions, with a primary focus on cancer care.

We hold limited rights to use the data included in the Tikun Olam patient database.

Diverse Biotech, Inc. In-License

We hold limited rights to patent applications owned by Diverse Biotech, Inc. for the use of cannabinoids with five existing, standard-of-care drugs via Diverse Biotech’s patent pending conjugate drug delivery platform.

(“PureForm”), a biotechnology company focused on the research, development and commercialization of synthesized CBD and other cannabinoids not derived from hemp or cannabis, for use in development and commercialization of products for cancer supportive/palliative care associated with radiodermatitis, chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy, and glioblastoma. Pursuant to the Development and Clinical Supply Agreement, PureForm will be the exclusive provider of synthetic cannabidiol (“API”) for Enveric’s development plans for cancer treatment and supportive care. Under the terms of the Development and Clinical Supply Agreement, PureForm has granted Enveric the exclusive right to purchase API and related products for cancer treatment and supporting care.

Research & Development

In view of the urgent need for new and more effective oncology drugs, we intend to combine innovative science and accelerated clinical development to create and develop novel therapies using cannabinoid-based medications and similar compounds. Our past research and development efforts were limited to investigative work surrounding cannabinoids, including creating and developing novel formulations, and evaluating potential opportunities to license technologies from pharmaceutical companies and leading research institutions. Our principal research efforts to date have been with Soroka Medical Center, MSKCC, Tikun Olam and St. George’s University of London.

Clinical Studies

We are currently assembling a team of principal investigators with of clinical experience across multiple cancer types to be responsible for the management, monitoring, and integrity of the clinical research. The following studies are being evaluated for potential advancement:

Radiodermatitis: A Phase 1/2 evaluating a CBD-infused formulation for skin.
Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme: A Phase 1/2 study of oral CBD extract in combination with Clomiphene or oral CBD extract alone given concurrently with dose-dense Temolozomide to patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma.

We plan to submit INDs and, eventually, NDAs to seek FDA approval in connection with the Radiodermatitis and Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Multiforme product candidates. The selection, timing, duration, and design of any prospective studies are subject to approval and finalization.

Scientific Advisory Board

We have established a scientific advisory board and regularly seeks advice and input from these experienced clinical leaders on matters related to its research and development programs. The members of our scientific advisory board consist of experts across a range of key disciplines relevant to its programs. We intend to continue to leverage the broad expertise of its advisors by seeking their counsel on important topics relating to its product development and clinical development programs.

Our scientific advisors are not our employees and have commitments to, or consulting or advisory contracts with, other entities that may limit their availability to us. In addition, its scientific advisors may have arrangements with other companies to assist those companies in developing products or technologies that may compete with us.

Competition

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, intense competition, and a strong global talent pool offeremphasis on proprietary products. While we believe that our scientific knowledge and technology and development experience provide us with competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, academic institutions, governmental agencies, and public and private research institutions. Any product candidates that we successfully develop and commercialize will compete with existing therapies and new therapies that may become available in the future.

In GBM, we believe that only one drug product (Epidiolex, developed by GW Pharmaceuticals) is a compelling propositionpotential late-stage competitor. Other than Epidiolex, we are aware of exploratory research into the effects of cannabinoid drug formulations. We are also aware of discovery research within the pharmaceutical industry into synthetic agonists and antagonists of CB1 and CB2 receptors, as well as companies that supply synthetic cannabinoids and cannabis extracts to clients.researchers for pre-clinical and clinical investigation, and various companies that cultivate cannabis plants with a view to supplying herbal cannabis or nonpharmaceutical cannabis-based formulations to patients. These therapies have not been approved by the FDA. In 2016,addition, Lutris Pharma has a topical B-Raf Inhibitor in Phase ½ studies that is intended to treat radiation dermatitis, which is also a potential competitor.

Patients suffering from GBM in the U.S. are treated with a variety of FDA-approved products, including, but not limited to, Bevacizumab, Carmustine Implant, Lomustine, and Temozolomide. Our potential competitors regarding the GBM product candidate include pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Genentech, Arbor Pharmaceuticals, Next Source Pharmaceuticals, and Merck, among others, depending on when the candidate is approved for commercialization, if ever (and what, if any, new therapies are approved in the interim). Such competitors may have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals, and marketing approved medicines than we acquired three companies: Virtuosodo. These competitors also compete with us in recruiting and DCMretaining qualified scientific and management personnel and establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies complementary to, or necessary for, our programs.

With respect to CBD, a number of nonapproved and non-standardized CBD preparations derived from crude herbal cannabis have been made available in limited quantities by producers of “medical marijuana” in the U.S. We do not believe prescription cannabinoids are the same as distributing or legalizing crude herbal cannabis, or preparations derived from crude herbal cannabis, and therefore we do not believe they are competitive with, crude herbal cannabis. We believe that only a cannabinoid medication, one that is standardized in composition, formulation and dose, administered by means of an appropriate delivery system, and tested in properly controlled pre-clinical and clinical studies, can meet the standards of regulatory authorities around the world, including those of the FDA. We also believe that these regulatory processes provide important protections for patients, and that any cannabinoid medication must be subjected to, and satisfy, such rigorous scrutiny.

Our commercial opportunities could be reduced or eliminated if its competitors develop and commercialize medicines that are safer, more effective, have fewer or less severe side effects, are more convenient or are less expensive than any product candidates that we may develop. Our competitors also may obtain approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies for their medicines more rapidly than us, which could result in our competitors establishing a strong market position before we are able to enter the market.

Government Regulation and Product Approvals

Pharmaceutical companies are subject to extensive regulation by the federal government, principally by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA, and, to a lesser extent, by state and local governments. Before our prescription products may be marketed in the U.S., they must be approved by the FDA for commercial distribution. Certain OTC products must comply with applicable FDA regulations, known as OTC Monographs, in order to be marketed, but do not have the benefit of FDA review and Bigtech Software Pvt. Ltd.approval before marketing. We are also subject to regulation under federal, state and local laws, including requirements regarding occupational safety, laboratory practices, environmental protection and hazardous substance control, and may be subject to other present and future local, state, federal and foreign regulations. We cannot predict the extent to which we may be affected by legislative and other regulatory developments concerning our products and the healthcare industry in India. These strategic acquisitions have brought offshore delivery, SAP S/4 HANAgeneral.

The FDCA and high-end SAP consulting capabilitiesother federal and state statutes and regulations govern the testing, manufacture, quality control, export and import, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, pricing, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of pharmaceutical products. Noncompliance with applicable requirements both before and after approval, can subject us, our third party manufacturers and other collaborative partners to administrative and judicial sanctions, such as, among other things, warning letters, fines and other monetary payments, recall or seizure of products, criminal proceedings, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, interruption or cessation of clinical trials, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, limitations on or the limitation of claims we can make for our service portfolio.  In 2016, we enteredproducts, and refusal of the government to enter into working partnerships with Blue Prism,supply contracts for robotic process automation services,distribution directly by governmental agencies, or delay in approving or refusal to approve new drug applications. The FDA also has the authority to revoke or withhold approvals of new drug applications.

FDA approval is required before any “new drug,” can be marketed. Our products are new drugs and SNP, for transformational ERP offerings.  These partnerships will allow us to offer our clients a broader spectrum of services.


Our Portfolio of Service Offerings

Our portfolio of service offerings expanded significantly in 2016 with our acquisitions of Ameri Georgia, DCM, Virtuoso and Bigtech. We expect our future service offerings to evolve as we continue to pursue our acquisitive growth strategy.
Our current portfolio of services is divided into three categories:

Cloud Services

An increasing trend in the IT services market is the adoption of cloud services. Historically clients have resorted to on-premise software solutions, which required capital investments in infrastructurerequire prior FDA approval. Such approval must be based on extensive information and data centers. Cloud services enable clientssubmitted in a NDA, including, but not limited to, buildadequate and host their applications at much lower costs.  Ourwell controlled laboratory and clinical investigations to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the drug product offerings leverage the low cost and flexibility of cloud computing

We have expertise in deploying SAP's public, private and hybrid cloud services,for its intended use(s) as well as SAP HANA cloud migration services. Our teamsthe manufacturing suitability of the product. In addition to providing required safety and effectiveness data for FDA approval, a drug manufacturer’s practices and procedures must comply with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”), which apply to manufacturing, receiving, holding and shipping, and include, among other things, demonstration of product purity, consistent manufacturing and quality and at least six months of data supporting product expiration dating based on clinical registration batches. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in all applicable areas relating to quality assurance and regulatory compliance, including production and quality control to comply with cGMPs. Failure to so comply risks delays in approval of drug products and possible FDA enforcement actions, such as an injunction against shipment of products, the seizure of non-complying products, criminal prosecution and/or any of the other possible consequences described above. We are experiencedsubject to periodic inspection by the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), which inspections may or may not be announced in advance.

FDA New Drug Approval Process

In the U.S., pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or the FDCA, and other federal and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, storage, recordkeeping, approval, labeling, promotion and marketing, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, sampling, and import and export of pharmaceutical products. Failure to comply with applicable U.S. requirements may subject a company to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as imposition of clinical holds, FDA refusal to approve pending new drug applications (“NDA”), warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, refusals of government contracts, restitution, disgorgement, civil penalties and criminal prosecution.

Pharmaceutical product development in the rapid delivery of cloud services. We perform SAP applicationU.S. typically involves pre-clinical laboratory and cloud support and SAP cloud development. Additionally, we provide cloud automation solutions that focus on business objectives and organizational growth.


Digital Services

We have developed several cutting-edge mobile solutions, including Simple Advance Planning and Optimization ("APO"), the IBP/S&OP Mobile Analytics Appanimal tests and the Langer Index.submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug applications (“IND”), which must become effective before clinical testing may commence. For commercial approval, the sponsor must submit adequate tests by all methods reasonably applicable to show that the drug is safe for use under the conditions prescribed, recommended or suggested in the proposed labeling. The SimpleAPO mobile application (app) provides sales professionals with real-time collaboration capabilitiessponsor must also submit substantial evidence, generally consisting of adequate, well-controlled clinical trials to establish that the drug will have the effect it purports or is represented to have under the conditions of use prescribed, recommended or suggested in the proposed labeling. In certain cases, the FDA may determine that a drug is effective based on one clinical study plus confirmatory evidence. Satisfaction of FDA pre-market approval requirements typically takes many years and customer data, on their mobile devices. It increases the efficiencyactual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the sales processproduct or disease.

Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry, formulation and toxicity, as well as animal trials to assess the characteristics and potential safety and efficacy of the product. The conduct of the pre-clinical tests must comply with federal regulations and requirements, including the FDA’s good laboratory practices regulations and the accuracyU.S. Department of customer needs forecasting.Agriculture’s (USDA’s) regulations implementing the Animal Welfare Act. The SAP IBP mobile app enables the real-time management and analysisresults of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) related data from mobile devices. SAP is an implementation partner for this app. SAP has recognized the app's valuepre-clinical testing are submitted to the ecosystem (S&OP apps being complexFDA as part of an IND along with other information, including information about product chemistry, manufacturing and difficult to design). The Langer Index iscontrols, and a mobile-supported, web-based assessment system for collecting and analyzing IT organizational effectiveness.


We are also active in Robotic Process Automation ("RPA"), which leverages the capability of artificially intelligent software agents for business process automation.  We have expertise in automating disparate and redundant data entry tasks by configuring software robots that seamlessly integrate with existing software systems. We also provide RPA solutions for reporting and analysis and deliver insights into business functions by translating large data into structured reports. Lastly, we have a working partnership with Blue Prism, a leading RPA solutions provider, which makes it possible for us to automate up to one-third of all standard back-office operations.

Enterprise Services

We design, implement and manage Business Intelligence ("BI") and analytics solutions. BI helps our clients navigate the market better by identifying new trends and by targeting top-selling products. We also enable clients to use BI for generating instant financial reports and analytics of customer, product and cost information over time.  In addition, we provide solutions for metadata repository, master data management and data quality. Finally, we determine BI demands across various platforms.

Other key enterprise services that we offer include consulting services for global and regional SAP implementations, SAP/IT solution advisory and architectural services, project management services, IT/ERP strategy and vendor selection services.  Often clients have relied on us to deliver services in non-SAP packages, as well. We bring deep expertise in products by companiesproposed clinical trial protocol.

Our Growth Strategy
Our growth strategycarcinogenicity, may continue after the IND is basedsubmitted.

A 30-day waiting period after the submission of each IND is required prior to the commencement of clinical testing in humans. If the FDA has not imposed a clinical hold on customer-driven business expansionthe IND or otherwise commented or questioned the IND within this 30-day period, the clinical trial proposed in the IND may begin.

Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator. Clinical trials must be conducted: (i) in compliance with federal regulations, (ii) in compliance with GCP, an international standard meant to protect the rights and strategic acquisitionhealth of SAP cloud services companies. It is our goalpatients and to define the roles of clinical trial sponsors, administrators and monitors, and (iii) under protocols detailing the objectives of the trial, the parameters to be a leaderused in monitoring safety and the SAP cloud services market. Aseffectiveness criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol involving testing on U.S. patients and subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of this strategy, we use strategic acquisitions, alliances and partnerships to achieve this goal.


We have complementary near-and longer-term strategies. In the short-term, we continue to focus on high-end consulting and solutions inIND.

The FDA may order the SAP space.  Our medium-term focus will be to make an entry into cloud engagements and HANA. Signing up with NEC astemporary, or permanent, discontinuation of a strategic partner forclinical trial at any time or impose other sanctions if it believes that the SAP HANA migration will be critical to achieving this objective. Additionally, we will gain market share in high-growth areas in the SAP ecosystem such as Hybris, Success Factors and BI/BW/SAP HANA.  In the long-term, we will identify and acquire firms in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics to bolster our AIR (AI + internet of things + robotics) practice. We believe that during each phase of our growth strategy business and market conditions will require our plans to evolve or change, and we plan to be agile in addressing both opportunities and exigencies.


Most customers doclinical trial either is not have measurement metrics to assess if their IT spend is yielding value. A firm's IT organization could be transactional, transitional or transformational depending on its investment in technology, processes and personnel.  The Langer Index gives us a novel tool to measure IT maturity and focus and to help our clients ensure that their IT dollars are creating maximal value.

Sales and Marketing

We combine traditional sales with our strength in industries and technology. Our sales function is composed of direct sales and inside sales professionals. Both work closely with our solutions directors to identify potential opportunities within each account. We currently have 70 active clients and 130 dormant accounts. Using a consultative selling methodology (working with clients to prescribe a solution that suits their need in terms of efficiency, cost and timelines), target prospects are identified and a pursuit plan is developed for each key account. We utilize a blended sales model that combines consultative selling with traditional sales methods. Once the customer has engaged us, the sales, solutions and marketing teams monitor and manage the relationship with the help of customer relationship management software.

The marketing group is tasked with building a strong, sustainable brand image for our company, positioning us in the SAP arena and facilitating business opportunities. Marketing functions include webinars, targeted email campaigns and social media vehicles including blogs, networking efforts and video sharing websites. Data gathered from these activities helps us to measure and track our market position and customer understanding of our offerings.

Revenues and Customers

We generate revenue primarily through consulting services performed in the fulfillment of written service contracts. The service contracts we enter into generally fall into two categories: (1) time-and-materials contracts and (2) fixed-price contracts.

When a customer enters into a time-and-materials or fixed-price, (or a periodic retainer-based) contract, we recognize revenuebeing conducted in accordance with FDA requirements or presents an evaluation unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients. The trial protocol and informed consent information for patients in clinical trials must also be submitted to an institutional review board, or IRB, for approval. An IRB may also require the clinical trial at the site to be halted, either temporarily or permanently, for failure to comply with the IRB’s requirements or may impose other conditions.

15

Clinical trials to support NDAs for marketing approval are typically conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap. In general, in Phase 1, the initial introduction of the deliverablesdrug into healthy human subjects or patients, the drug is tested to assess metabolism, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological actions, side effects associated with increasing doses and, if possible, early evidence on effectiveness. Phase 2 usually involves trials in each contract.a limited patient population to determine the effectiveness of the drug for a particular indication, dosage tolerance and optimum dosage, and to identify common adverse effects and safety risks. If a compound demonstrates evidence of effectiveness and an acceptable safety profile in Phase 2 evaluations, Phase 3 trials are undertaken to obtain the deliverables represent separate unitsadditional information about clinical efficacy and safety in a larger number of accounting, we then measurepatients, typically at geographically dispersed clinical trial sites, to permit the FDA to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship of the drug and allocateto provide adequate information for the considerationlabeling of the drug. In most cases, the FDA requires two adequate and well-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials to demonstrate the efficacy of the drug. The FDA may, however, determine that a drug is effective based on one clinical study plus confirmatory evidence. Only a small percentage of investigational drugs complete all three phases and obtain marketing approval. In some cases, the FDA may require post-market studies, known as Phase 4 studies, to be conducted as a condition of approval in order to gather additional information on the drug’s effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use. Depending on the risks posed by the drugs, other post-market requirements may be imposed.

After completion of the required clinical testing, an NDA is prepared and submitted to the FDA. The FDA approval of the NDA is required before marketing of the product may begin in the U.S. The NDA must include the results of all pre-clinical, clinical, and other testing and a compilation of data relating to the product’s pharmacology, chemistry, manufacture, and controls. The cost of preparing and submitting an NDA is substantial. Under federal law, the submission of most NDAs is additionally subject to a substantial application user fee.

The FDA has 60 days from its receipt of an NDA to determine whether the application will be accepted for filing based on the agency’s threshold determination that it is sufficiently complete to permit substantive review. Once the submission is accepted for filing, the FDA begins an in-depth review. Under the statute and implementing regulations, the FDA has 180 days (the initial review cycle) from the arrangementdate of filing to issue either an approval letter or a complete response letter, unless the review period is adjusted by mutual agreement between the FDA and the applicant or as a result of the applicant submitting a major amendment. In practice, the performance goals established pursuant to the separate units, based on vendor-specific objectivePrescription Drug User Fee Act have effectively extended the initial review cycle beyond 180 days. The FDA’s current performance goals call for the FDA to complete review of 90 percent of standard (non-priority) NDAs within 10 months of receipt and within six months for priority NDAs, but two additional months are added to standard and priority NDAs for a new molecular entity (NME).

The FDA may also refer applications for novel drug products, or drug products that present difficult questions of safety or efficacy, to an advisory committee, which is typically a panel that includes clinicians and other experts, for review, evaluation and a recommendation as to whether the application should be approved. The FDA is not bound by the recommendation of an advisory committee, but it generally follows such recommendations. Before approving an NDA, the FDA will typically inspect one or more clinical sites to assure compliance with GCP. Additionally, the FDA will inspect the facility or the facilities at which the drug is manufactured. The FDA will not approve the product unless compliance with current GMP is satisfactory and the NDA contains data that provide substantial evidence that the drug is safe and effective in the indication studied.

After the FDA evaluates the NDA and the manufacturing facilities, it issues either an approval letter or a complete response letter. A complete response letter generally outlines the deficiencies in the submission and may require substantial additional testing, or information, in order for the FDA to reconsider the application. If, or when, those deficiencies have been addressed to the FDA’s satisfaction in a resubmission of the value for each deliverable.


NDA, the FDA will issue an approval letter. The revenue under time-and-materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuantFDA has committed to fixed-price contracts is recognized underreviewing 90 percent of resubmissions within two to six months depending on the proportional performance methodtype of accounting. We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on our fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, sales to five major customers accounted for 52.75% of our total revenue.

Technology Research and Development

We regard our services and solutions and related software products as proprietary. We rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws of general applicability, employee confidentiality and invention assignment agreements, distribution and software protection agreements and other intellectual property protection methods to safeguard our technology and software products.  We have not applied for patents on any of our technology.  We also rely upon our efforts to design and produce new applications and upon improvements to existing software products to maintain a competitive position in the marketplace.

On December 26, 2015, we entered into a license agreement with Dr. Arthur M. Langer, which grants us a license for exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable and worldwide useinformation included.

An approval letter authorizes commercial marketing of the Langer Modeldrug with specific prescribing information for specific indications. As a condition of NDA approval, the FDA may require a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, or REMS, to generate the Langer Index.



Research and product development expenditures were approximately $54,945 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and $524,741 for twelve months ended December 31, 2015.

These reportsETASU. ETASU can include, but are not limited to, our annual reportsspecial training or certification for prescribing or dispensing, dispensing only under certain circumstances, special monitoring, and the use of patient registries. The requirement for a REMS can materially affect the potential market and profitability of the drug. Moreover, product approval may require substantial post-approval testing and surveillance to monitor the drug’s safety or efficacy. Once granted, product approvals may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or problems are identified following initial marketing.

Disclosure of Clinical Trial Information

Sponsors of clinical trials of certain FDA-regulated products, including prescription drugs, are required to register and disclose certain clinical trial information on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K,a public website maintained by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Information related to the product, patient population, phase of investigation, study sites and any amendmentsinvestigator, and other aspects of the clinical trial is made public as part of the registration. Sponsors are also obligated to disclose the results of these reports. Our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reportstrials after completion. Disclosure of the results of these trials can be accessed throughdelayed for up to two years if the investors sectionsponsor certifies that it is seeking approval of an unapproved product or that it will file an application for approval of a new indication for an approved product within one year. Competitors may use this publicly available information to gain knowledge regarding the design and progress of our website (http://ameri100.com/page/investors/)development programs.

Special Protocol Assessment

A company may reach an agreement with the FDA under the Special Protocol Assessment, or “SPA”, process as to the required design and size of clinical trials intended to form the primary basis of an efficacy claim. According to its performance goals, the FDA is supposed to evaluate the protocol within 45 days of the request to assess whether the proposed trial is adequate, and that evaluation may result in discussions and a request for additional information. A SPA request must be made before the proposed trial begins, and all open issues must be resolved before the trial begins. If a written agreement is reached, it will be documented and made part of the administrative record. Under the FDCA and FDA guidance implementing the statutory requirement, an SPA is generally binding upon the FDA except in limited circumstances, such as if the FDA identifies a substantial scientific issue essential to determining safety or efficacy after the study begins, public health concerns emerge that were unrecognized at the time of the protocol assessment, the sponsor and the FDA agree to the change in writing, or if the study sponsor fails to follow the protocol that was agreed upon with the FDA.

Advertising and Promotion

Pre-approval promotion of investigational drug candidates is prohibited by the FDA. Therefore, sponsors must ensure that any pre-approval communications disseminated about its drug candidates do not state or imply that such candidates have been proven safe or effective for the applicable use(s) or that they have been approved for commercialization in the United States. Further, once an NDA for a given candidate is approved, if ever, the product will be subject to certain post-approval requirements. For instance, the FDA closely regulates the post-approval marketing and promotion of drugs.

Drugs may be marketed only for the approved indications and in accordance with the provisions of the approved labeling. Changes to some of the conditions established in an approved application, including changes in indications, labeling, or manufacturing processes or facilities, require submission and FDA approval of a new NDA or NDA supplement before the change can be implemented. An NDA supplement for a new indication typically requires clinical data similar to that in the original application, and the FDA uses the same procedures and actions in reviewing NDA supplements as it does in reviewing NDAs.

Adverse Event Reporting and GMP Compliance

Adverse event reporting and submission of periodic reports is required following FDA approval of an NDA. The FDA also may require post-marketing testing, known as Phase 4 testing, may require under a REMS special communication regarding the safety of the drug or heightened surveillance to monitor the effects of an approved product, or the FDA may place conditions on an approval that could restrict the distribution or use of the product. In addition, quality-control, drug manufacture, packaging, and labeling procedures must continue to conform to GMP, after approval. Drug manufacturers and certain of their subcontractors are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies. Registration with the FDA subjects entities to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA, during which the agency inspects manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with GMP. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money and effort in the areas of production and quality control to maintain compliance with GMP. Regulatory authorities may withdraw product approvals or request product recalls if a company fails to comply with regulatory standards, if it encounters problems following initial marketing or if previously unrecognized problems are subsequently discovered.

Pediatric Exclusivity and Pediatric Use

The Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, or “BPCA”, provides NDA holders a six-month period of exclusivity attached to any other exclusivity listed with the FDA — patent or non-patent — for a drug, if certain conditions are met. Conditions for pediatric exclusivity include a determination by the FDA that information relating to the use of a new drug in the pediatric population may produce health benefits in that population; a written request by the FDA for pediatric studies; and agreement by the applicant to perform the requested studies and the submission to the FDA, completion of the studies in accordance with the written request, and the acceptance by the FDA, of the reports of the requested studies within the statutory time frame. Applications under the BPCA are treated as priority applications.

In addition, under the Pediatric Research Equity Act, or “PREA”, NDAs or supplements to NDAs must contain data to assess the safety and effectiveness of the drug for the claimed indications in all relevant pediatric subpopulations and to support dosing and administration for each pediatric subpopulation for which the drug is safe and effective, unless the sponsor has received a deferral or waiver from the FDA. Unless otherwise required by regulation, PREA does not apply to any drug for an indication for which orphan designation has been granted. The sponsor or the FDA may request a deferral of pediatric studies for some or all of the pediatric subpopulations. A deferral may be granted for several reasons, including a finding that the drug is ready for approval for use in adults before pediatric studies are complete or that additional safety or effectiveness data need to be collected before the pediatric studies begin. Under PREA, the FDA must send a noncompliance letter requesting a response within 45 days to any sponsor that fails to submit the required assessment, keep a deferral current or fails to submit a request for approval of a pediatric formulation.

Controlled Substances

The federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, or “CSA”, and we intendits implementing regulations establish a “closed system” of regulations for controlled substances. The CSA imposes registration, security, recordkeeping and reporting, storage, manufacturing, distribution, importation and other requirements under the oversight of the DEA. The DEA is the federal agency responsible for regulating controlled substances, and requires those individuals or entities that manufacture, import, export, distribute, research, or dispense controlled substances to disclose any changes to or waivers from our Code of Ethics for our Chief Executive Officer and Senior Financial Officers and our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that would otherwise be required to be disclosed under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K on our website. In addition, the public may read and copy any materials filed by uscomply with the SEC atregulatory requirements in order to prevent the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington DC 20549. diversion of controlled substances to illicit channels of commerce.

The publicDEA categorizes controlled substances into one of five schedules — Schedule I, II, III, IV or V — with varying qualifications for listing in each schedule. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, have no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the U.S., and lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision. Marijuana is currently a Schedule I controlled substance, which means that no preclinical or clinical studies of product candidates containing marijuana may obtain informationbe conducted in the United States without the required DEA registration(s) and related approvals, as applicable. Pharmaceutical products having a currently accepted medical use that are otherwise approved for marketing may be listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V substances, with Schedule II substances presenting the highest potential for abuse and physical or psychological dependence, and Schedule V substances presenting the lowest relative potential for abuse and dependence.

Facilities that manufacture, distribute, import, or export any controlled substance must register annually with the DEA. The DEA registration is specific to the particular location, activity(ies) and controlled substance schedule(s). For example, separate registrations are required for importation and manufacturing activities, and each registration authorizes which schedules of controlled substances the registrant may handle. However, certain coincidental activities are permitted without obtaining a separate DEA registration, such as distribution of controlled substances by the manufacturer that produces them.

The DEA inspects all manufacturing facilities to review security, recordkeeping, reporting, and handling prior to issuing a controlled substance registration. The specific security requirements vary by the type of business activity and the schedule and quantity of controlled substances handled. The most stringent requirements apply to manufacturers of Schedules I and Schedule II substances. Required security measures commonly include background checks on employees and physical control of controlled substances through storage in approved vaults, safes and cages, and through use of alarm systems and surveillance cameras. An application for a manufacturing registration as a bulk manufacturer (not a dosage form manufacturer or a repacker/relabeler) for a Schedule I or II substance must be published in the operationFederal Register, and is open for 60 days to permit interested persons to submit comments, objections or requests for a hearing. A copy of the Public Reference Roomnotice of the Federal Register publication is simultaneously forwarded by callingDEA to all those registered, or applicants for registration, as bulk manufacturers of that substance. Once registered, manufacturing facilities must maintain records documenting the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. We are an electronic SEC filer. The SEC maintains a website that containsmanufacture, receipt and distribution of all controlled substances. Manufacturers must submit periodic reports proxyto the DEA of the distribution of Schedules I and information statementsII controlled substances, Schedule III narcotic substances, and other information regarding issuers that file electronicallydesignated substances.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

II controlled substances for commercial purposes are generally restricted to substances not already available from a domestic supplier or where there is not adequate competition among domestic suppliers. In addition to an importer or exporter registration, importers and exporters must obtain a permit for every import or export of a Schedules I and II substance or Schedules III, IV and V narcotic, and submit import or export declarations for Schedules III, IV and V non-narcotics. In some cases, Schedule III non-narcotic substances may be subject to the information set forth atimport/export permit requirement, if necessary to ensure that the beginningU.S. complies with its obligations under international drug control treaties.

For drugs manufactured in the U.S., the DEA establishes annually an aggregate quota for the amount of Management's Discussionsubstances within Schedules I and Analysis entitled "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information", investors should consider that there are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown,II that may prevent us from achieving our goals.  If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial conditionbe manufactured or results of operation may be materially and adversely affected.  In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

We recorded a net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and there can be no assurance that our future operations will result in net income.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, we had net revenue of $36,145,589 and a net loss of $2,788,112. At December 31, 2016, we had stockholders' equity of $11,663,703, an increase of $11,405,170 from December 31, 2015. There can be no assurance that our future operations will result in net income. Our failure to increase our revenues or improve our gross margins will harm our business. We may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basisproduced in the future. If our revenues grow more slowly than we anticipate, our gross margins fail to improve or our operating expenses exceed our expectations, our operating results will suffer. The fee we charge for our solutions and services may decrease, which would reduce our revenues and harm our business. If we are unable to sell our solutions at acceptable prices relative to our costs, or if we fail to develop and introduce new solutionsU.S. based on a timely basis and services from which we can derive additional revenues, our financial results will suffer.
We and our subsidiaries have limited operating histories and therefore we cannot ensure the long-term successful operation of our business or the execution of our business plan.

Our business strategy may be unsuccessful and we may be unable to address the risks we face in a cost-effective manner, if at all. If we are unable to successfully address these risks our business will be harmed.

Uncertain global economic conditions may continue to adversely affect demand for our services.

Our revenue and gross margin depend significantly on general economic conditions and the demand for IT servicesproduced in the markets in which we operate. Economic weakness and constrained IT spending has resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenue, gross margin, earnings and growth rates. A material portion of our revenues and profitabilityU.S. each year is derived from our clients in North America and Canada. Recent or future weakening in these markets may result in high government deficits, credit downgrades or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Ongoing economic volatility and uncertainty affects our business in a number of other ways, including making it more difficult to accurately forecast client demand beyond the short term and effectively build our revenue and resource plans.  Economic downturns also may lead to restructuring actions and associated expenses.  Uncertainty about future economic conditions makes it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. Delays or reductions in IT spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services, and consequently the results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price.

Uncertain global SAP consulting market conditions may continue to adversely affect demand for our services.

We rely heavily on global demand for ERP services, especially SAP consulting by customers. Any weakness for these ERP services by global customers will adversely affect our revenue projections and hence our profits. SAP AG is adapting itself to the changes in the market especially towards cloud offerings. These changes may lead to SAP losing its market share to other competitors like Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and WorkDayallocated among many other newer players. With these setbacks to SAP, we may face uncertain future due to dramatic changes in the market placeindividual companies, which, in turn, will affect our revenuesmust annually apply to the DEA for individual manufacturing and profits.

Our international operations subject usprocurement quotas. The quotas apply equally to exposurethe manufacturing of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and production of dosage forms. The DEA may adjust aggregate production quotas a few times per year, and individual manufacturing or procurement quotas from time to foreign currency fluctuations.
We have operationstime during the year, although the DEA has substantial discretion in three countrieswhether or not to make such adjustments for individual companies.

The states also maintain separate controlled substance laws and regulations, including licensing, recordkeeping, security, distribution, and dispensing requirements. State Authorities, including Boards of Pharmacy, regulate use of controlled substances in each state. Failure to maintain compliance with applicable requirements, particularly as we expand our international operations, more of our customers pay us in foreign currencies. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars subject us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and net income, which may in turn have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.  The exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuatemanifested in the future.  We expect that a majorityloss or diversion of our revenues will continue to be generatedcontrolled substances, can result in U.S. dollars for the foreseeable future and that a significant portion of our expenses, including personnel costs, as well as capital and operating expenditures, will continue to be denominated in other currencies such as Indian Rupee.  The hedging strategies that we may implement in the future to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risks may not reduce or completely offset our exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations and may expose our business to unexpected market, operational and counterparty credit risks.  Accordingly, we may incur losses from our use of foreign exchange derivate contractsenforcement action that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The DEA may seek civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or initiate proceedings to revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal prosecution.

Our inability

Europe/Rest of World Government Regulation

In addition to recruitregulations in the U.S., we are and retain IT professionals will adversely affectbe subject, either directly or through our abilitydistribution partners, to delivera variety of regulations in other jurisdictions governing, among other things, clinical trials and any commercial sales (including pricing and reimbursement) and distribution of our services.


Our industry reliesproduct candidates, if approved.

Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product, it must obtain the requisite approvals from regulatory authorities in non-U.S. countries prior to the commencement of clinical trials or marketing of the product in those countries.

In the European Union, medicinal products are subject to extensive pre- and post-marketing regulation by regulatory authorities at both the European Union and national levels. Additional rules also apply at the national level to the manufacture, import, export, storage, distribution and sale of controlled substances. In many European Union member states the regulatory authority responsible for medicinal products is also responsible for controlled substances. Responsibility is, however, split in some member states, such as the U.K. Generally, any company manufacturing or distributing a medicinal product containing a controlled substance in the European Union will need to hold a controlled substances license from the competent national authority and will be subject to specific record-keeping and security obligations. Separate import or export certificates are required for each shipment into or out of the member state.

Clinical Trials and Marketing Approval

Certain countries outside of the U.S. have a process that requires the submission of a clinical trial application much like an IND prior to the commencement of human clinical trials. In Europe, for example, a clinical trial application, or “CTA”, must be submitted to the competent national health authority and to independent ethics committees in each country in which a company intends to conduct clinical trials. Once the CTA is approved in accordance with a country’s requirements and a company has received favorable ethics committee approval, clinical trial development may proceed in that country.

The requirements and process governing the conduct of clinical trials, product licensing, pricing, and reimbursement vary from country to country, even though there is already some degree of legal harmonization in the European Union member states resulting from the national implementation of underlying European Union legislation. In all cases, the clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with the International Conference on large numbersHarmonization, or “ICH”, guidelines on GCP and other applicable regulatory requirements.

To obtain regulatory approval to place a drug on the market in European Union countries, Enveric must submit a marketing authorization application. This application is similar to the NDA in the U.S., with the exception of, skilled IT employees,among other things, country-specific document requirements. All application procedures require an application in the common technical document, or CTD, format, which includes the submission of detailed information about the manufacturing and our success depends upon our ability to attract, develop, motivatequality of the product, and retain a sufficient number of skilled IT professionalsnonclinical and project managers who possessclinical trial information. Drugs can be authorized in the technical skills and experience necessary to deliver our services. Qualified IT professionals are in demand worldwide and are likely to remain a limited resourceEuropean Union by using (i) the centralized authorization procedure, (ii) the mutual recognition procedure, (iii) the decentralized procedure, or (iv) national authorization procedures.

The European Commission created the centralized procedure for the foreseeable future.  Our failureapproval of human drugs to attractfacilitate marketing authorizations that are valid throughout the European Union and, by extension (after national implementing decisions) in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, which, together with the European Union. member states, comprise the European Economic Area, or retain qualified IT professionals“EEA”. Applicants file marketing authorization applications with the EMA, where they are reviewed by a relevant scientific committee, in most cases the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (the “CHMP”). The EMA forwards CHMP opinions to the European Commission, which uses them as the basis for deciding whether to grant a marketing authorization. This procedure results in a single marketing authorization granted by the European Commission that is valid across the European Union, as well as in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. The centralized procedure is compulsory for human drugs that are: (i) derived from biotechnology processes, such as genetic engineering, (ii) contain a new active substance indicated for the treatment of certain diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune and other immune dysfunctions and viral diseases, (iii) officially designated “orphan drugs” (drugs used for rare human diseases), and (iv) advanced-therapy medicines, such as gene-therapy, somatic cell-therapy or tissue-engineered medicines. The centralized procedure may at the voluntary request of the applicant also be used for human drugs that do not fall within the above-mentioned categories if the CHMP agrees that the human drug (a) contains a new active substance not yet approved on November 20, 2005; (b) constitutes a significant therapeutic, scientific or technical innovation, or (c) authorization under the centralized procedure is in the interests of patients at the European Union level.

Under the centralized procedure in the European Union, the maximum time frame for the evaluation of a marketing authorization application by the EMA is 210 days (excluding clock stops, when additional written or oral information is to be provided by the applicant in response to questions asked by the CHMP), with adoption of the actual marketing authorization by the European Commission thereafter.

Accelerated evaluation might be granted by the CHMP in exceptional cases, when a medicinal product is expected to be of a major public health interest from the point of view of therapeutic innovation, defined by three cumulative criteria: the seriousness of the disease to be treated; the absence of an appropriate alternative therapeutic approach, and anticipation of exceptional high therapeutic benefit. In this circumstance, EMA ensures that the evaluation for the opinion of the CHMP is completed within 150 days and the opinion issued thereafter.

19

For those medicinal products for which the centralized procedure is not available, the applicant must submit marketing authorization applications to the national medicines regulators through one of three procedures: (i) the mutual recognition procedure (which must be used if the product has already been authorized in at least one other European Union member state, and in which the European Union member states are required to grant an authorization recognizing the existing authorization in the other European Union member state, unless they identify a serious risk to public health), (ii) the decentralized procedure (in which applications are submitted simultaneously in two or more European Union member states), or (iii) national authorization procedures (which results in a marketing authorization in a single European Union member state).

Mutual Recognition Procedure

The mutual recognition procedure, or “MRP”, for the approval of human drugs is an alternative approach to facilitate individual national marketing authorizations within the European Union. Basically, the MRP may be applied for all human drugs for which the centralized procedure is not obligatory. The MRP is applicable to the majority of conventional medicinal products, and must be used if the product has already been authorized in one or more member states.

The characteristic of the MRP is that the procedure builds on an already-existing marketing authorization in a member state of the European Union that is used as a reference in order to obtain marketing authorizations in other European Union member states. In the MRP, a marketing authorization for a drug already exists in one or more member states of the European Union and subsequently marketing authorization applications are made in other European Union member states by referring to the initial marketing authorization. The member state in which the marketing authorization was first granted will then act as the reference member state. The member states where the marketing authorization is subsequently applied for act as concerned member states. The concerned member states are required to grant an authorization recognizing the existing authorization in the reference member state, unless they identify a serious risk to public health.

The MRP is based on the principle of the mutual recognition by European Union member states of their respective national marketing authorizations. Based on a marketing authorization in the reference member state, the applicant may apply for marketing authorizations in other member states. In such case, the reference member state shall update its existing assessment report about the drug in 90 days. After the assessment is completed, copies of the report are sent to all member states, together with the approved summary of product characteristics, labeling and package leaflet. The concerned member states then have 90 days to recognize the decision of the reference member state and the summary of product characteristics, labeling and package leaflet. National marketing authorizations shall be granted within 30 days after acknowledgement of the agreement.

Should any Member State refuse to recognize the marketing authorization by the reference member state, on the grounds of potential serious risk to public health, the issue will be referred to a coordination group. Within a time frame of 60 days, member states shall, within the coordination group, make all efforts to reach a consensus. If this fails, the procedure is submitted to an EMA scientific committee for arbitration. The opinion of this EMA Committee is then forwarded to the European Commission, for the start of the decision-making process. As in the centralized procedure, this process entails consulting various European Commission Directorates General and the Standing Committee on Human Medicinal Products.

Data Exclusivity

In the European Union, marketing authorization applications for generic medicinal products do not need to include the results of pre-clinical and clinical trials, but instead can refer to the data included in the marketing authorization of a reference product for which regulatory data exclusivity has expired. If a marketing authorization is granted for a medicinal product containing a new active substance, that product benefits from eight years of data exclusivity, during which generic marketing authorization applications referring to the data of that product may not be accepted by the regulatory authorities, and a further two years of market exclusivity, during which such generic products may not be placed on the market. The two-year period may be extended to three years if during the first eight years a new therapeutic indication with significant clinical benefit over existing therapies is approved.

20

Orphan Medicinal Products

The EMA’s Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (“COMP”) may recommend orphan medicinal product designation to promote the development of products that are intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of life-threatening or chronically debilitating conditions affecting not more than 5 in 10,000 persons in the European Union. Additionally, designation is granted for products intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a life-threatening, seriously debilitating or serious and chronic condition and when, without incentives, it is unlikely that sales of the product in the European Union would be sufficient numbersto justify the necessary investment in developing the medicinal product. The COMP may only recommend orphan medicinal product designation when the product in question offers a significant clinical benefit over existing approved products for the relevant indication. Following a positive opinion by the COMP, the European Commission adopts a decision granting orphan status. The COMP will reassess orphan status in parallel with EMA review of a marketing authorization application and orphan status may be withdrawn at that stage if it no longer fulfills the orphan criteria (for instance because in the meantime a new product was approved for the indication and no convincing data are available to demonstrate a significant benefit over that product). Orphan medicinal product designation entitles a party to financial incentives such as reduction of fees or fee waivers and ten years of market exclusivity is granted following marketing authorization. During this period, the competent authorities may not accept or approve any similar medicinal product, unless it offers a significant clinical benefit. This period may be reduced to six years if the orphan medicinal product designation criteria are no longer met, including where it is shown that the product is sufficiently profitable not to justify maintenance of market exclusivity.

Pediatric Development

In the European Union, companies developing a new medicinal product must agree to a Pediatric Investigation Plan, or “PIP”, with the EMA and must conduct pediatric clinical trials in accordance with that PIP unless a waiver applies, for example, because the relevant disease or condition occurs only in adults. The marketing authorization application for the product must include the results of pediatric clinical trials conducted in accordance with the PIP, unless a waiver applies, or a deferral has been granted, in which case the pediatric clinical trials must be completed at a later date. Products that are granted a marketing authorization on the basis of the pediatric clinical trials conducted in accordance with the PIP are eligible for a six-month extension of the protection under a supplementary protection certificate (if the product covered by it qualifies for one at the time of approval). This pediatric reward is subject to specific conditions and is not automatically available when data in compliance with the PIP are developed and submitted.

If we fail to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements, it may be subject to, among other things, fines, suspension of clinical trials, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

In addition, most countries are parties to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, which governs international trade and domestic control of narcotic substances, including cannabis extracts. Countries may interpret and implement their treaty obligations in a way that creates a legal obstacle to us obtaining marketing approval for our product candidates in those countries. These countries may not be willing or able to amend or otherwise modify their laws and regulations to permit our product candidates to be marketed, or achieving such amendments to the laws and regulations may take a prolonged period of time. In that case, we would be unable to market our product candidates in those countries in the near future or perhaps at all.

Employees

We continue to build on our leadership expertise. We employ two full-time and one part-time employee. We also work with scientific advisors, consultants and service providers, mainly through academic institutions and contract research organizations.

We have never had a work stoppage and none of its employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements or represented by a labor union. We believe that we have good relationships with our employees.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be a party to litigation that arises in the ordinary course of its business. Other than as described below, we do not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on our business,its results of operations, financial condition andor cash flows.


Our strategy to increase our growth through acquisitions may be unsuccessful and could adversely affect our business and results.

As part

On January 21, 2021, we received a stockholder litigation demand letter from the law firm of Purcell Julie & Lefkowitz LLP, on behalf of James Self, a purported stockholder of our growth strategy,Company. The letter demands that we (i) deem ineffective the December 30, 2020 amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in which we effected a reverse stock split due to the manner in which non-votes by brokers were tabulated, (ii) seek appropriate relief for damages allegedly suffered by the company and its stockholders or seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment and reverse stock split, and (iii) adopt adequate internal controls to prevent a recurrence of the alleged misconduct. We dispute that the amendment was ineffective or that there were any inadequate internal controls related to the same. However, to eliminate any questions about the amendment, we intend to further acquire other businesses; however, there is no assurance that we will be ableseek to identify appropriate acquisition targets, successfully acquire identified targets or successfully integrateratify the business of acquired companiesamendment at a special stockholders’ meeting pursuant to realize the full benefitsSection 204 of the combined businesses.Delaware General Corporation Law.

- 10 -Item 1A. Risk Factors



While we recently acquired DCM, Virtuoso and Bigtech in connection with our growth strategy

Risks Related to acquire other businesses, we can provide no assurance that we will identify appropriate acquisition targets, successfully complete any future acquisitions or successfully integrateOur Business

We are dependent on the business of companies we do acquire. Even if we successfully acquire a business entity, there is no assurance that our combined business will become profitable. The process of completing the integration of acquired businesses could cause an interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activitiessuccess of our companyprospective product candidates, which are in early stages of development, and the loss of key personnel. The diversion of management's attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the pursuit of business acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses, and the incurrence of significant, non-recurring costs in connection with proposed acquisitions, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.


We face intense competition from other service providers.

We are subject to intense competition in the industry in which we operate which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We operate in a highly intensive competitive industry, which is served by numerous global, national, regional and local firms. Our industry has experienced rapid technological developments, changes in industry standards and customer requirements. The principal competitive factors in the IT markets include the range of services offered, size and scale of service provider, global reach, technical expertise, responsiveness to client needs, speed in delivery of IT solutions, quality of service and perceived value. Many companies also choose to perform some or all of their back-office IT and IT-enabled operations internally. Such competitiveness requires us to keep pace with technological developments and maintains leadership; enhance our service offerings, including the breadth of our services and portfolio, and address increasingly sophisticated customer requirements in a timely and cost-effective manner.

We market our service offerings to large and medium-sized organizations. Generally, the pricing for the projects depends on the type of contract, which includes time and material contracts, annual maintenance contracts (fixed time frame), fixed price contracts and transaction price based contracts. The intense competition and the changes in the general economic and business conditionsthere can put pressure on us to change our prices. If our competitors offer deep discounts on certain services or provide servicesbe no assurances that the marketplace considers more valuable, we may need to lower prices or offer other favorable terms in order to compete successfully.  Any broad-based change to our prices and pricing policies could cause revenues to decline and may reduce margins and could adversely affect results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.  Some of our competitors may bundle software products and services for promotional purposes or as a long-term pricing strategy or provide guarantees of prices and product implementations.  These practices could, over time, significantly constrain the prices that we can charge for certain services.  If we do not adapt our pricing models to reflect changes in customer use of our services or changes in customer demand, our revenues and cash flows could decrease.

Our competitors may have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources and greater name recognition and, therefore, may be better able to compete for new work and skilled professionals. Similarly, if our competitors are successful in identifying and implementing newer service enhancements in response to rapid changes in technology and customer preferences, they may be more successful at selling their services. If we are unable to respond to such changes our results of operations may be harmed.  Further, a client may choose to use its own internal resources rather than engage an outside firm to perform the types of services we provide. We cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain our current levels of profitability or growth in the face of competitive pressures, including competition for skilled technology professionals and pricing pressure from competitors employing an on-site/offshore business model.

In addition, we may face competition from companies that increase in size or scope as the result of strategic alliances such as mergers or acquisitions. These transactions may include consolidation activity among hardware manufacturers, software companies and vendors and service providers. The result of any such vertical integration mayprospects will reach a particular stage in development, receive regulatory approval or be greater integration of products and services that were once offered separately by independent vendors. Our access to such products and services may be reduced as a result of such an industry trend, which could adversely affect our competitive position. These types of events could have a variety of negative effects on our competitive position and our financial results, such as reducing our revenue, increasing our costs, lowering our gross margin percentage and requiring us to recognize impairments on our assets.

Our business could be adversely affected if we do not anticipate and respond to technology advances in our industry and our clients' industries.

The IT and offshore outsourcing and SAP consulting services industries are characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing client preferences and new product introductions.

Our success will depend in part on our ability to successfully develop IT solutionsand commercialize our prospective product candidates through our development programs. We intend to develop at least three product candidates by undergoing the long, costly clinical-trial process for each candidate under an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) and, eventually, obtaining FDA approval under a New Drug Application (“NDA”) before proceeding to market. In order to proceed with development of our pharmaceutical product candidates under the NDA pathway, we must obtain the FDA’s approval of our IND application and conduct preclinical and clinical trials in compliance with the applicable IND regulations, clinical-study protocols, and other applicable regulations and related requirements. We may never be able to develop products which are commercially viable or receive regulatory approval in the U.S. or elsewhere. There can be no assurance that keep pacethe FDA or any other regulatory authority will approve of our current or future product candidates.

In the United States, the FDA regulates drugs under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or “FDCA,” and implementing regulations. Drugs are also subject to other federal, state and local statutes and regulations. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with industry developments. appropriate federal, state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. The process required by the FDA before a new drug or biological product may be marketed in the United States generally involves the following:

Completion of preclinical laboratory tests, animal studies, and formulation studies according to Good Laboratory Practices and other applicable regulations;

22

Submission to the FDA of an IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may begin in the United States;
Performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials according to the FDA’s current good clinical practices, or GCPs, which sufficiently demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the proposed drug or biologic for its intended uses;
Submission to the FDA of a New Drug Application, or an NDA, for a new drug product;
Satisfactory completion of an FDA inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities where the drug or biologic is to be produced to assess compliance with the FDA’s current good manufacturing practice standards, or cGMP, to assure that the facilities, methods and controls are adequate to preserve the drug’s or biologic’s identity, strength, quality and purity;
Potential FDA audit of the nonclinical and clinical trial sites that generated the data in support of the NDA or biologics license application; and
FDA review and, potentially, approval of the NDA.

The lengthy process of seeking required approvals and the continuing need for compliance with applicable statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. There can be no certainty that approvals will be granted.

We may encounter difficulties that may delay, suspend or scale back our efforts to advance additional early research programs through preclinical development and IND application filings and into clinical development.

We intend to advance early research programs through preclinical development and to file an IND application for human clinical trials evaluating the prospective product candidates in our pipeline. The preparation and submission of IND applications requires rigorous and time-consuming preclinical testing, the results of which must be sufficiently documented to establish, among other things, the toxicity, safety, manufacturing, chemistry and clinical protocol of the product candidates. We may experience unforeseen difficulties that could delay or otherwise prevent us from successfully executing our current development strategy. In addition, our ability to complete and file certain IND applications may depend on the support of our partners and the timely performance of their obligations under relevant collaboration agreements. If our relevant partners are not able to perform such obligations, or if they otherwise delay the progress, we may not be successful in addressing these developmentsable to prepare and file the intended IND applications on a timely basis or at all, if these developments are addressed, we will be successful in the marketplace. In addition, productsall. Any delay, suspension or technologies developed by others may not renderreduction of our services noncompetitive or obsolete. Our failureefforts to address these developmentspursue our preclinical and IND strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


A significant number of organizations are attemptingcause our share price to migratedecline.

The novel coronavirus could adversely impact our business, applications to advanced technologies.  As a result, our ability to remain competitive will be dependent on several factors, including our abilitycurrent plans for product development, as well as any currently ongoing preclinical studies and clinical trials and any future studies or other development or commercialization activities.

Since COVID-19 was initially reported to develop, train and hire employees with skillshave surfaced in advanced technologies, breadth and depthWuhan, China in December 2019, it has spread globally, including countries in which we are currently, or plans to, conduct preclinical or clinical studies or other development activities. There is significant uncertainty as to the likely effects of process and technology expertise, service quality, knowledge of industry, marketing and sales capabilities. Our failure to hire, train and retain employees with such skillsthis pandemic. As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues, we will likely experience disruptions that could have a material adverseseverely impact on our business. Our ability to remain competitive will also be dependent on our ability to design and implement, in a timely and cost- effective manner, effective transition strategies for clients moving to advanced architectures. Our failure to design and implement such transition strategies in a timely and cost-effective manner could have a material adverse effect on our business, resultsincluding, but not limited to, our current or future preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory progress, or any other development or commercialization activities, including (among others):

delays or difficulties in enrolling patients in clinical trials;
delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site staff;
diversion of healthcare resources away from the conduct of clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trials;
interruption of key clinical trial activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers and others;
limitations in employee resources that would otherwise be focused on the conduct of our clinical trials, including because of sickness of employees or their families or the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people;
delays in receiving approval from local regulatory authorities to initiate our planned clinical trials;
delays in clinical sites receiving the supplies and materials needed to conduct our clinical trials;

23

interruption in global shipping that may affect the transport of clinical trial materials, such as investigational drug product used in our clinical trials;
changes in local regulations as part of a response to the COVID-19 outbreak which may require us to change the ways in which our clinical trials are conducted, which may result in unexpected costs, or to discontinue the clinical trials altogether;
delays in necessary interactions with local regulators, ethics committees and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees;
delay in the timing of interactions with the FDA due to absenteeism by federal employees or by the diversion of their efforts and attention to approval of other therapeutics or other activities related to COVID-19; and
refusal of the FDA to accept data from clinical trials in affected geographies outside the United States.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic could disrupt our operations due to absenteeism by infected or ill members of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The global COVID-19 pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact our business, preclinical studies and clinical trials will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of our employees based in India where our wage costs have historically been significantly lower than wage coststhe disease, the duration of the pandemic, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and Europeother countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

We have significant and increasing liquidity needs and may require additional funding.

Research and development, management and administrative expenses and cash used for comparably skilled professionals,operations will continue to be significant and this has been onemay increase substantially in the future in connection with new and continued research and development initiatives and our pursuit of IND authorization(s) for some or all of our competitive advantages.  However, wage increasesproduct candidates, as is required to initiate clinical trials in India or other countries where we havehuman subjects in the United States. We will need to raise additional capital to fund our operations, may prevent us from sustaining this competitive advantage if wages increase.  We may needcontinue to increase the levelsconduct clinical trials to support potential regulatory approval of marketing applications, and to fund commercialization of our employee compensation more rapidly thancurrent and future product candidates.

The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

the scope, number, initiation, progress, timing, costs, design, duration, delays (if any), and results of preclinical and clinical studies for our current or future product candidates;
the outcome, timing and cost of regulatory reviews, approvals or other actions to meet regulatory requirements established by the FDA, and comparable foreign regulatory authorities;
the timing and amount of revenue generated or received, including any revenue from grants or other sources;
the rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other product development programs;
costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights associated with our current and future product candidates;
the effect of competing technological and market developments;
personnel, facilities and equipment requirements; and
the terms and timing of any additional collaborative, licensing, co-promotion or other arrangements that we may establish.

While we expect to fund our future capital requirements from financing arrangements, we cannot assure you that any such financing arrangements will be available to it on favorable terms, or at all. Further, even if we can raise funds from financing arrangements, the amounts raised may not be sufficient to meet our future capital requirements.

We depend on our current key personnel and our ability to attract and retain employees.

Our future growth and success depends on our ability to recruit, retain, manage and motivate our employees. We are highly dependent on our current management and scientific personnel, including David Johnson, Avani Kanubaddi, and Dr. Robert Wilkins. The inability to hire or retain experienced management personnel could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan and harm our operating results. Due to the specialized scientific and managerial nature of our business, we rely heavily on our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific, technical and managerial personnel. The competition for qualified personnel in the past to retain talent. If such events occur,pharmaceutical field is intense and we may be unable to continue to increaseattract and retain qualified personnel necessary for the efficiency and productivitydevelopment of our employeesbusiness or to recruit suitable replacement personnel.

There has been limited study on the effects of medical cannabinoids, and wage increasesfuture clinical research studies may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing, and social acceptance of cannabinoids.

Research relating to the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, and dosing of cannabinoids remains in relatively early stages. There have been few clinical trials on the benefits of cannabinoids conducted by us or by others. Future research and clinical trials may draw opposing conclusions to statements contained in the long termarticles, reports and studies We have relied on, or could reach different or negative conclusions regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing or other facts and perceptions related to cannabinoids, which could adversely affect social acceptance of cannabinoids and the demand for our product candidates.

We expect to face intense competition, often from companies with greater resources and experience than us.

The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. The industry continues to expand and evolve as an increasing number of competitors and potential competitors enter the market. Many of these competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, managerial and research and development resources and experience than us. Some of these competitors and potential competitors have more experience than us in the development of pharmaceutical products, including validation procedures and regulatory matters. In addition, our future product candidates, if successfully developed, will compete with product offerings from large and well-established companies that have greater marketing and sales experience and capabilities than us or our collaboration partners have. Other companies with greater resources than we may reduceannounce similar plans in the future. In addition, there are other non-FDA approved CBD preparations being made available from other companies, which might attempt to compete with our profit margins.


future product candidates. If we are unable to compete successfully, our commercial opportunities will be reduced and our business, results of operations and financial conditions may be materially harmed.

Our clientscurrent and future preclinical and clinical studies may seekbe conducted outside the United States, and the FDA may not accept data from such studies to reduce their dependence on Indiasupport any NDAs we may submit after completing the applicable developmental and regulatory prerequisites.

We are conducting, or may conduct, preclinical and/or clinical studies outside the United States. For example, we have conducted preclinical studies in Israel, and plan to conduct clinical studies for outsourced IT servicesone or take advantagemore product candidates in Israel or other non-U.S. countries. To the extent we do not conduct these clinical trials under an IND, the FDA may not accept data from such trials. Although the FDA may accept data from clinical trials conducted outside the United States that are not conducted under an IND, the FDA’s acceptance of these data is subject to certain conditions. For example, the clinical trial must be well designed and conducted and performed by qualified investigators in accordance with ethical principles and all applicable FDA regulations. The trial population must also adequately represent the intended U.S. population, and the data must be applicable to the U.S. population and U.S. medical practice in ways that the FDA deems clinically meaningful. In general, the patient population for any clinical trials conducted outside of the services providedUnited States must be representative of the population for whom we intend to market the product candidate in countries with labor costs similarthe United States, if approved. In addition, while these clinical trials are subject to or lower than India.


Clients which presently outsource a significant proportionthe applicable local laws, FDA acceptance of their IT services requirements to vendors in India may, for various reasons, including in response to rising labor costs in India and to diversify geographic risk, seek to reduce their dependence on one country. We expect that future competitionthe data will increasingly include firms with operations in other countries, especially those countries with labor costs similar to or lower than India, such as China, the Philippines and countries in Eastern Europe. Since wage costs in our industry in India are increasing,be dependent upon our ability to compete effectivelyverify the data and our determination that the trials also complied with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations. We cannot guarantee that the FDA will become increasinglyaccept data from trials conducted outside of the United States. If the FDA does not accept the data from such clinical trials, we would likely result in the need for additional trials and the completion of additional regulatory steps, which would be costly and time-consuming and could delay or permanently halt our development of our product candidates.

Because the results of preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, we may not have favorable results in our planned and future clinical trials.

Successful development of therapeutic products is highly uncertain and is dependent on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Product candidates that appear promising in the early phases of development may fail to reach the market for several reasons including:

preclinical study results that may show the product to be less effective than desired (e.g., the study failed to meet our primary objectives) or to have harmful or problematic side effects;

25

failure to receive the necessary regulatory approvals or a delay in receiving such approvals. Among other things, such delays may be caused by slow enrollment in clinical studies, length of time to achieve study endpoints, additional time requirements for data analysis or an IND and later NDA, preparation, discussions with the FDA, an FDA request for additional preclinical or clinical data or unexpected safety or manufacturing issues;
manufacturing costs, pricing, or reimbursement issues or other factors that make the product not economical; and
the proprietary rights of others and their competing products and technologies that may prevent the product from being commercialized.

Any positive results from our preclinical testing of our prospective product candidates may not necessarily be predictive of the results from planned or future clinical trials for such product candidates. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials after achieving positive results in preclinical and early clinical development, and we cannot be certain that we will not face similar setbacks. These setbacks have been caused by, among other things, preclinical findings while clinical trials were underway or safety or efficacy observations in clinical trials, including adverse events. Moreover, our interpretation of clinical data or our conclusions based on the preclinical in vitro and in vivo models may prove inaccurate, as preclinical and clinical data can be susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials nonetheless failed to obtain FDA or other regulatory approvals. If we fail to produce positive results in our planned clinical trial for our product candidates for the treatment of GBM, or our future clinical trials, the development timeline and regulatory approval and commercialization prospects for such product candidates, and, correspondingly, our business and financial prospects, would be materially adversely affected.

Business interruptions could delay us in the process of developing our product candidates.

Loss of our stored materials or facilities through fire, theft, or other causes could have an adverse effect on our ability to continue product development activities and to conduct our business. Even if we obtain insurance coverage to compensate us for such business interruptions, such coverage may prove insufficient to fully compensate us for the damage to our business resulting from any significant property or casualty loss.

Our employees may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and legal requirements.

We are exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with FDA, SEC or Office of Inspector General regulations, or regulations of any other applicable regulatory authority, failure to provide accurate information to the FDA or the SEC, comply with applicable manufacturing standards, other federal, state or foreign laws and regulations, report information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of confidential or protected information, including information obtained in the course of clinical trials, or illegal pre-approval promotion of drug candidates, which could result in government investigations, enforcement actions and serious harm to our reputation. We have adopted a Corporate Code of Conduct and Ethics and Whistleblower Policy, but employee misconduct is not always possible to identify and deter. The precautions we take to detect and prevent these prohibited activities may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting us from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against us, and we are not successful in defending our Company or asserting our rights, those actions could have a significant impact on our business, including the imposition of significant fines or other sanctions.

Our proprietary information, or that of our customers, suppliers and business partners, may be lost or we may suffer security breaches.

In the ordinary course of our business, we expect to collect and store sensitive data, including valuable and commercially sensitive intellectual property, clinical trial data, our proprietary business information and that of our future customers, suppliers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers, clinical trial subjects and employees, patients, in our data centers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations. Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and cause a loss of confidence in our products and our ability to conduct clinical trials, which could adversely affect our business and reputation and lead to delays in gaining regulatory approvals for our future product candidates. Although we may obtain business interruption insurance coverage in the qualityfuture, our insurance might not cover all losses from any future breaches of our services andsystems.

Failure of our expertise in specific industries. If labor costs in India rise at a rate that isinformation technology systems, including cybersecurity attacks or other data security incidents, could significantly greater than labor costs in other countries,disrupt the operation of our reliancebusiness.

Our business depends on the laboruse of information technologies. Our ability to execute our business plan and to comply with regulators’ requirements with respect to data control and data integrity, depends, in India may reducepart, on the uninterrupted performance of our profit marginsinformation technology systems, or IT systems and the IT systems supplied by third-party service providers. Our IT systems are vulnerable to damage from a variety of sources, including telecommunications or network failures, malicious human acts, natural disasters and more sophisticated and targeted cyber-related attacks that pose a risk to the security of our information systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data and information. A successful cybersecurity attack or other data security incident could result in the misappropriation and/or loss of confidential or personal information, create system interruptions, or deploy malicious software that attacks our systems. It is also possible that a cybersecurity attack might not be noticed for some period of time. In addition, sustained or repeated system failures or problems arising during the upgrade of any of our IT systems that interrupt our ability to generate and maintain data could adversely affect our ability to compete,operate our business. The occurrence of a cybersecurity attack or incident could result in business interruptions from the disruption of our IT systems, or negative publicity resulting in reputational damage with our shareholders and other stakeholders and/or increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. In addition, the unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential information could expose us or other third-parties to regulatory fines or penalties, litigation and potential liability, or otherwise harm our business.

Security breaches, loss of data and other disruptions could compromise sensitive information related to our business, prevent it from accessing critical information or expose it to liability, which would,could adversely affect our business and its reputation.

In the ordinary course of our business, we expect to collect and store sensitive data, including legally protected patient health information, credit card information, personally identifiable information about our employees, intellectual property, and proprietary business information. We expect to manage and maintain its applications and data utilizing on-site systems. These applications and data encompass a wide variety of business-critical information including research and development information, commercial information and business and financial information.

The secure processing, storage, maintenance and transmission of this critical information is vital to our operations and business strategy, and we devote significant resources to protecting such information. Although we take measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or disclosure, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers, or viruses, breaches or interruptions due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions, or lapses in turn, have a negative impact oncompliance with privacy and security mandates. Any such virus, breach or interruption could compromise our networks and the information stored there could be accessed by unauthorized parties, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. In the future, any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and European Union General Data Protection Regulation, government enforcement actions and regulatory penalties. Unauthorized access, loss or dissemination could also disrupt our operations, including our ability to process samples, provide test results, share and monitor safety data, bill payors or patients, provide customer support services, conduct research and development activities, process and prepare company financial information, manage various general and administrative aspects of our business and may damage our reputation, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business could be materially adversely affected if we dooperating results may vary significantly in future periods.

We are in the early stages of product development and expects to focus substantial efforts for, at least, the next several years on preclinical and clinical trials and other research and development activities. We have not orobtained regulatory approval for any product candidates. Our revenues, expenses and operating results are unablelikely to protectfluctuate significantly in the future. We expect to incur substantial additional operating expenses over the next several years as our intellectual property or ifresearch, development, and preclinical and clinical study activities increase. Our financial results are unpredictable and may fluctuate, for among other reasons, due to:

the scope, number, progress, duration, endpoints, cost, results, and timing of our preclinical testing and clinical studies of current or potential future product candidates
our ability to obtain additional funding to develop product candidates; and
delays in the commencement, enrollment and timing of clinical studies.

A high portion of our servicescosts are found to infringe upon or misappropriate the intellectual property of others.


Our success dependspredetermined on an annual basis, due in part upon certain methodologiesto our significant research and toolsdevelopment costs. Thus, small declines in revenue could disproportionately affect financial results in a quarter.

Risks Related to Regulatory Matters

Our prospective products will be subject to the various federal and state laws and regulations relating to health and safety.

We are in the process of developing investigational new drugs for which we intend to pursue FDA approval via the New Drug Application (“NDA”) process. In these product candidates, cannabinoid(s) will be the active pharmaceutical ingredient.

In connection with our development and future commercialization (if applicable) of the above-described prospective products, we and each contemplated product candidate are subject to the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA). The FDCA is intended to assure the consumer, in part, that drugs and devices are safe and effective for their intended uses and that all labeling and packaging is truthful, informative, and not deceptive. The FDCA and FDA regulations define the term “drug,” in part, by reference to its intended use, as “articles intended for use in designing, developingthe diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease” and implementing applications systems in providing our services. We rely upon a combination“articles (other than food) intended to affect the structure or any function of nondisclosurethe body of man or other animals.” Therefore, almost any ingested or topical or injectable product that, through its label or labeling (including internet websites, promotional pamphlets, and other contractual arrangements and intellectual property lawsmarketing material), that is claimed to protect confidential information and intellectual property rightsbe beneficial for such uses will be regulated by FDA as a drug. The definition also includes components of ours anddrugs, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients. Drugs must generally either receive premarket approval by FDA through the NDA process or conform to a “monograph” for a particular drug category, as established by FDA’s Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Review. If the FDA does not award premarket approval for our third parties from whom we license intellectual property. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and limit distribution of proprietary information. The steps we take inproduct candidates through the NDA process, this regard may not be adequate to deter misappropriation of proprietary information and we may not be able to detect unauthorized use of, protect or enforce our intellectual property rights. At the same time, our competitors may independently develop similar technology or duplicate our products or services. Any significant misappropriation, infringement or devaluation of such rights could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


Litigation may be required to enforce our intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could be time consuming and costly. Although we believe that our services do not infringe or misappropriate on the intellectual property rights of others and that we have all rights necessary to utilize the intellectual property employed in our business, defense against these claims, even if not meritorious, could be expensive and divert our attention and resources from operating our company. A successful claim of intellectual property infringement against us could require us to pay a substantial damage award, develop non-infringing technology, obtain a license or cease selling the products or services that contain the infringing technology. Such events could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operationsoperations.

Clinical trials are expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and cash flows.


Any disruptionsusceptible to change, delay or termination. The results of clinical trials are open to differing interpretations.

We currently have two potential product candidates that are in preclinical development as an investigational combination therapy for GBM and other forms of cancer and intends to pursue preclinical and clinical development for other prospective candidates as well, including, but not limited to, a candidate targeting radiodermatitis. After completing the supplyrequisite preclinical testing, IND submission, internal review board (“IRB”) review, and any other applicable early-development obligations, we must conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of power, IT infrastructurethe product candidates. Clinical testing is expensive, time consuming, and telecommunications linesuncertain as to outcome. We cannot guarantee that any clinical trials will be conducted as planned or completed on schedule, or at all. Failures in connection with one or more clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing.

Regulatory agencies may analyze or interpret the results of clinical trials differently than us. Even if the results of our facilities could disrupt our business process or subject us to additional costs.

Any disruption in basic infrastructure, includingclinical trials are favorable, the supply of power, could negatively impact our ability to provide timely or adequate services to our clients. We rely onclinical trials for a number of telecommunications service and other infrastructure providersour product candidates are expected to maintain communications between our various facilities and clients in India, the United States and elsewhere. Telecommunications networks are subject to failures and periods of service disruption, which can adversely affect our ability to maintain active voice and data communications among our facilities and with our clients. Such disruptions may cause harm to our clients' business. We do not maintain business interruption insurancecontinue for several years and may not be covered for any claimstake significantly longer to complete. Events that may prevent successful or damages if the supplytimely completion of power, IT infrastructure or telecommunications lines is disrupted. This could disrupt our business process or subject us to additional costs, materially adversely affecting our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.clinical development include:

delays in reaching a consensus with regulatory authorities on trial design;
delays in reaching agreement on acceptable terms with prospective contract research organization (“CRO”) and clinical trial sites;
delays in opening clinical trial sites or obtaining required IRB or independent ethics committee approval at each clinical trial site;
actual or perceived lack of effectiveness of any product candidate during clinical trials;
discovery of serious or unexpected toxicities or side effects experienced by trial participants or other safety issues, such as drug interactions, including those which cause confounding changes to the levels of other concomitant medications;
slower than expected rates of subject recruitment and enrollment rates in clinical trials;
difficulty in retaining subjects for the entire duration of applicable clinical studies (as study subjects may withdraw at any time due to adverse side effects from the therapy, insufficient efficacy, fatigue with the clinical trial process or for any other reason;
delays or inability in manufacturing or obtaining sufficient quantities of materials for use in clinical trials due to regulatory and manufacturing constraints;
inadequacy of or changes in our manufacturing process or product candidate formulation;
delays in obtaining regulatory authorization s, such as INDs and any others that must be obtained, maintained, and/or satisfied to commence a clinical trial, including “clinical holds” or delays requiring suspension or termination of a trial by a regulatory agency, such as the FDA, before or after a trial is commenced;

28

System security risks and cyber-attacks could disrupt our information technology services provided to customers, and any such disruption could reduce our expected revenue, increase our expenses, damage our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.

Security and availability of IT infrastructure is

changes in applicable regulatory policies and regulation, including changes to requirements imposed on the extent, nature or timing of studies;
delays or failure in reaching agreement on acceptable terms in clinical trial contracts or protocols with prospective clinical trial sites;
uncertainty regarding proper dosing;
delay or failure to supply product for use in clinical trials which conforms to regulatory specification;
unfavorable results from ongoing pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;
failure of our CROs, or other third-party contractors to comply with all contractual requirements or to perform their services in a timely or acceptable manner;
failure by us, our employees, our CROs or their employees to comply with all applicable FDA or other regulatory requirements relating to the conduct of clinical trials;
scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions;
failure to design appropriate clinical trial protocols;
regulatory concerns with cannabinoid products, generally, and the potential for abuse;
insufficient data to support regulatory approval;
inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols; or
difficulty in maintaining contact with patients during or after treatment, which may result in incomplete data.

Any of the utmost concern for our business, and the security of critical information and infrastructure necessary for rendering services is also one of the top priorities of our customers.


System security risks and cyber-attacks could breach the security and disrupt the availability of our IT services provided to customers. Any such breach or disruption could allow the misuse of our information systems, resulting in litigation and potential liability for us, the loss of existing or potential clients, damage to our reputation and diminished brand value and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.


- 13 -





Our network and our deployed security controls could also be penetrated by a skilled computer hacker or intruder. Further, a hacker or intruder could compromise the confidentiality and integrity of our protected information, including personally identifiable information; deploy malicious software or code like computer viruses, worms or Trojan horses, etc. may exploit any security vulnerabilities, known or unknown, of our information system; cause disruption in the availability of our information and services; and attack our information system through various other mediums.

We also procure software or hardware products from third party a vendor that provide, manages and monitors our services.  Such products may contain known or unfamiliar manufacturing, design or other defects which may allow a security breach or cyber-attack, if exploited by a computer hacker or intruder, or may be capable of disrupting performance of our IT services and prevent us from providing services to our clients.

In addition, we manage, store, process, transmit and have access to significant amounts of data and information that may include our proprietary and confidential information and that of our clients. This data may include personal information, sensitive personal information, personally identifiable information or other critical data and information, of our employees, contractors, officials, directors, end customers of our clients or others, by which any individual may be identified or likely to be identified. Our data security and privacy systems and procedures meet applicable regulatory standards and undergo periodic compliance audits by independent third parties and customers. However, if our compliance with these standards is inadequate, we may be subject to regulatory penalties and litigation, resulting in potential liability for us and an adverse impact on our business.

We are still susceptible to data security or privacy breaches, including accidental or deliberate loss and unauthorized disclosure or dissemination of such data or information. Any breach of such data or information may lead to identity theft, impersonation, deception, fraud, misappropriation or other offenses in which such information may be used to cause harm to our business and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business, results of operations and cash flows.

We must effectively manage the growth of our operations, or our company will suffer.

Our ability to successfully implement our business plan requires an effective planning and management process.  If funding is available, we intend to increase the scope of our operations and acquire complimentary businesses.  Implementing our business plan will require significant additional funding and resources. If we grow our operations, we will need to hire additional employees and make significant capital investments. If we grow our operations, it will place a significant strain on our existing management and resources.  If we grow, we will need to improve our financial and managerial controls and reporting systems and procedures, and we will need to expand, train and manage our workforce. Any failure to manage any of the foregoing areas efficiently and effectively would cause our business to suffer.

Our revenues are concentrated in a limited number of clients in a limited number of industries and our revenues may be significantly reduced if these clients decrease their IT spending.

For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016, sales to five major customers accounted for 52.75% of our total revenue. Consequently, if our top clients reduce or postpone their IT spending significantly, this may lower the demand for our services and negatively affect our revenues and profitability. Further, any significant decrease in the growth of the financial services or other industry segments on which we focus may reduce the demand for our services and negatively affect our revenues, profitability and cash flows.

Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our results of operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending upon several factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include the timing and number of client projects commenced and completed during the quarter, the number of working days in a quarter, employee hiring, attrition and utilization rates and the mix of time-and-material projects versus fixed price deliverable projects and maintenance projects during the quarter. Additionally, periodically our cost increases due to both the hiring of new employees and strategic investments in infrastructure in anticipation of future opportunities for revenue growth.

These and other factors could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and this makes the prediction of our financial results on a quarterly basis difficult. Also, it is possible that our quarterly financial results may be below the expectations of public market analysts.

We are heavily dependent on our senior management, and a loss of a member of our senior management team could cause our stock price to suffer.

If we lose members of our senior management, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis, and our business could be adversely affected. Our existing operations and continued future development depend to a significant extent upon the performance and active participation of certain key individuals. If we were to lose any of our key personnel, we may not be able to find appropriate replacements on a timely basis and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Certain key employees of our recently acquired subsidiaries may terminate their employment with us after their applicable "earn-out" periods end, which could negatively impact our business.

Certain key employees of our recently acquired subsidiaries are entitled to earn-out compensation upon the achievement of certain financial targets by the acquired subsidiary following the closing of the acquisition.  Upon the completion of the applicable earn-out period, these key employees may terminate their employment with us.  The loss of these key employees could negatively impact our business due to the related loss of the historical associations of those key employees with markets and customers of our subsidiaries.

We may not have sufficient working capital in the long term.

It is likely we may require additional funds in the long term depending upon the growth of our revenues and our business strategy. We can give no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient debt or equity capital now or in the future to support our operations. Should we be unable to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, we could be forced to cease operations.
Our international sales and operations are subject to applicable laws relating to trade, export controls and foreign corrupt practices, the violation of which could adversely affect its operations.
We must comply with all applicable international trade, customs, export controls and economic sanctions laws and regulations of the United States and other countries. We are also subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery laws that generally bar bribes or unreasonable gifts to foreign governments or officials. Changes in trade sanctions laws may restrict our business practices, including cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries or with sanctioned entities, and may result in modifications to compliance programs. Violation of these laws or regulations could result in sanctions or fines and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

- 15 -



Our income tax returns are subject to review by taxing authorities, and the final determination of our tax liability with respect to tax audits and any related litigation could adversely affect our financial results.

Although we believe that our tax estimates are reasonable and that we prepare and submit our tax filings on a timely basis and in accordance with all applicable tax laws, the final determination with respect to any tax audits, and any related litigation, could be materially different from our estimates or from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on operating results and/or cash flows in the periods for which that determination is made. In addition, future period earnings may be adversely impacted by litigation costs, settlements, penalties and/or interest assessments.

Failure of our customers to pay the amounts owed to us in a timely manner may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We generally provide payment terms ranging from 30 to 75 days. As a result, we generate significant accounts receivable from sales to our customers, representing approximately 80% of current assets as of December 31, 2016. Accounts receivable from sales to customers were $8,059,910 as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the largest amount owed by a single customer was approximately 10.53% of total accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2016, we had no allowance for doubtful accounts. If any of our significant customers have insufficient liquidity, we could encounter significant delays or defaults in payments owed to us by such customers, and we may need to extend our payment terms or restructure the receivables owed to us, which could have a significant adverse effect on our financial condition. Any deterioration in the financial condition of our customers will increase the risk of uncollectible receivables. Global economic uncertainty could also affect our customers' ability to pay our receivables in a timely manner or at all or result in customers going into bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, which could also affect our ability to collect our receivables.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations.

We are subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments, including non-U.S. governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investmentsfinancial condition and results of operations. In addition, a

Any failure by us to comply with existing regulations could harm our reputation and operating results.

We are subject to extensive regulation by U.S. federal and state and foreign governments in each of the U.S., European and Canadian markets, in which we plan to sell our product candidates. We must adhere to all regulatory requirements, including FDA’s Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”), GCP, and GMP requirements, pharmacovigilance requirements, advertising and promotion restrictions, reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and their European equivalents. If we or our suppliers fail to comply with applicable regulations, including FDA pre-or post-approval requirements, then the FDA or other foreign regulatory authorities could sanction our Company. Even if a drug is approved by the FDA or other competent authorities, regulatory authorities may impose significant restrictions on a product’s indicated uses or marketing or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-marketing trials. Any of our product candidates which may be approved in the U.S. will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, import, export, advertising, promotion, sampling, recordkeeping and submission of safety and other post-market information, including both federal and state requirements. In addition, manufacturers and manufacturers’ facilities are required to comply with extensive FDA requirements, including ensuring that quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to GMP. As such, we and our contract manufacturers (in the event contract manufacturers are appointed in the future) are subject to continual review and periodic inspections to assess compliance with GMP. Accordingly, we and others with whom we work will have to spend time, money and effort in all areas of regulatory compliance, including manufacturing, production, quality control and quality assurance. We will also be required to report certain adverse reactions and production problems, if any, to the FDA, and to comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotion for our products. Promotional communications with respect to prescription drugs are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory restrictions and must be consistent with the information in the product’s approved label. Similar restrictions and requirements exist in the European Union and other markets where we operate.

If a regulatory agency discovers previously unknown problems with a product, such as adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or problems with the facility where the product is manufactured, or disagrees with the promotion, marketing or labeling of the product, it may impose restrictions on that product or on us, including requiring withdrawal of the product from the market. If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency or enforcement authority may:

issue warning letters;
impose civil or criminal penalties;

29

suspend regulatory approval;
suspend any of our ongoing clinical trials;
refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications submitted by us;
impose restrictions on our operations, including by requiring us to enter in to a Corporate Integrity Agreement or closing our contract manufacturers’ facilities, if any; or
seize or detain products or require a product recall.

We may be subject to federal, state and foreign healthcare laws and regulations and implementation of or changes to such healthcare laws and regulations could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

If we successfully complete the requisite preclinical and clinical testing, make the required regulatory submissions and obtain any corresponding authorizations or licenses (as applicable), fulfill all other applicable development-related regulatory obligations, and, eventually, obtain FDA approval to market one or more of our current or future product candidates in the United States, we may be subject to certain healthcare laws and regulations. In both the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, there have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could impact our ability to sell our future product candidates. If we are found to be in violation of any of these laws or any other federal, state or foreign regulations, as interpretedwe may be subject to administrative, civil and/or criminal penalties, damages, fines, individual imprisonment, exclusion from federal health care programs and applied,the restructuring of our operations. Any of these could have a material adverse effect on our business and resultsfinancial results. Since many of operations.


Acquisitions, expansionsthese laws have not been fully interpreted by the courts, there is an increased risk that we may be found in violation of one or infrastructure investmentsmore of their provisions. Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we are ultimately successful in our defense, will cause us to incur significant legal expenses and divert our management’s attention away from the operation of our business. In addition, in many foreign countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, the pricing of prescription drugs is subject to government control.

In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing vary widely from country to country. For example, some European Union jurisdictions operate positive and negative list systems under which products may only be marketed once a reimbursement price has been agreed. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval, some of these countries may require usthe completion of clinical trials that compare the cost effectiveness of a particular product candidate to increase our level of indebtedness or issue additional equity.


As we continuecurrently available therapies. Other member states allow companies to consummate additional acquisition opportunities, undertake additional expansion activities or make substantial investmentsfix their own prices for medicines but monitor and control company profits. Such differences in our infrastructure, our capital needs continue to expand.  Accordingly, wenational pricing regimes may need to draw down additional borrowings under our credit facility or access public or private debt or equity markets.create price differentials between European Union member states. There can be no assurance however,that any country that has price controls or reimbursement limitations for pharmaceutical products will allow favorable reimbursement and pricing arrangements for any of our products. Historically, products launched in the European Union do not follow price structures of the U.S. In the European Union, the downward pressure on healthcare costs in general, particularly prescription medicines, has become intense. As a result, barriers to entry of new products are becoming increasingly high and patients are unlikely to use a drug product that is not reimbursed by their government.

We may face competition from lower-priced products in foreign countries that have placed price controls on pharmaceutical products. In addition, the importation of foreign products may compete with any future product that we may market, which could negatively impact our profitability.

Specifically in the U.S., we expect that the 2010 Affordable Care Act (“ACA”), as well as other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, may result in more rigorous coverage criteria and in additional downward pressure on the price that we may receive for any approved product. There have been judicial challenges to certain aspects of the ACA and numerous legislative attempts to repeal and/or replace the ACA in whole or in part, and we expect there will be successful in raising additional debt or equity, or that we will be ablechallenges and amendments to raise such funds on terms that we would consider acceptable.

An increasethe ACA in the levelfuture. At this time, the full effect that the ACA will have on our business in the future remains unclear. An expansion in the government’s role in the U.S. healthcare industry may cause general downward pressure on the prices of indebtedness, ifprescription drug products, lower reimbursements or any could, among other things:

·make it difficult for us to obtain financing in the future for acquisitions, working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes;
·limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business;
·limit our ability to pay dividends;
·make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business;product for which we obtain regulatory approval, reduce product utilization and
·affect certain financial covenants with which we must comply in connection with our credit facilities.

Additionally, any further equity offering would dilute your ownership interest in our company.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Indebtedness

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which may limit our operating flexibility and could adversely affect our business and results of operations and financial condition.

As of March 29, 2017, we had approximately $5 millionoperations. Any reduction in borrowings outstanding under our $10 million credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), which provides for up to $8 million in principal for revolving loans (the "Revolving Loans") for general working capital purposes, up to $2 million in principal pursuant to a term loan (the "Term Loan") for the purpose of a permitted business acquisition and up to $200,000 for letters of credit.

Our indebtedness could have important consequences to our investors, including, but not limited to:

·increasing our vulnerability to, and reducing our flexibility to respond to, general adverse economic and industry conditions;
·requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of principal of, and interest on, our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of such cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, joint ventures or other general corporate purposes;
·limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business, the competitive environment and the industry in which we operate;
·placing us at a competitive disadvantage as compared to our competitors that are not as highly leveraged; and
·limiting our ability to borrow additional funds and increasing the cost of any such borrowing.

A breach of a covenantreimbursement from Medicare or restriction contained in our senior secured credit facility couldother government programs may result in a default that couldsimilar reduction in turn permit the affected lenderpayments from private payors. The implementation of cost containment measures or other healthcare reforms may prevent us from being able to accelerate the repayment of principal and accrued interest on our outstanding loans and terminate its commitments to lend additional funds. If the lender under such indebtedness accelerates the repaymentgenerate revenue, attain profitability, or commercialize any of our borrowings,future product candidates for which we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay those borrowings as well as any other indebtedness.

Interest under the Credit Facility is payable monthly in arrears and accrues as follows:

(a)
in the case of Revolving Loans, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 2.00%;

(b)
in the case of the Term Loan, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 3.75%; and

(c)in the case of other obligations under the Credit Facility, a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the greater of (A) 3.25% or (B) Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus (ii) 3.75%.

There is a high rate of failure for drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials.

We have no products on the payment of certain fees, including, but not limited to letter of credit feesmarket, and an unused Revolving Loans fee.  An increaseour new potential cannabinoid-based drug product candidates are currently either in interest rates would adversely affect our profitability. Topreclinical development or the extent that our access to credit is restricted becauseresearch and discovery phase. Accordingly, none of our own performanceprospective products or conditionsinvestigational candidates have ever been tested in a human subject. Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability with respect to our product candidates in which cannabinoids are featured as the active pharmaceutical ingredient depends on obtaining regulatory approvals for and, if approved, successfully commercializing our product candidates, either alone or with third parties. Before obtaining regulatory approval for the commercial distribution of our product candidates, we or an existing or future collaborator must conduct extensive preclinical tests and clinical trials to demonstrate the safety, purity and potency of our product candidates.

Generally, there is a high rate of failure for drug candidates proceeding through clinical trials. We may suffer significant setbacks in our clinical trials similar to the experience of a number of other companies in the capital markets generally,pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, even after receiving promising results in earlier trials. Further, even if we view the results of a clinical trial to be positive, the FDA or other regulatory authorities may disagree with our financial condition would be materially adversely affected.

Due to our 2016 acquisitions, we did not fulfill certaininterpretation of the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility loan agreement with Sterling National Bank as of December 31, 2016; however, Sterling National Bank has agreed to waive our compliance with such covenants in exchange for the payment of a fee.

data. In addition, we have an outstanding aggregate of $1,250,000 in 8% Convertible Unsecured Promissory Notes (the "2017 Notes"), which were issued to four accredited investors, including one of the Company's directors, Dhruwa N. Rai. The 2017 Notes bear interest at 8% per annum until maturity in March 2020, with interest being paid annually on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance of the 2017 Notes beginning in March 2018. From and after an event of default and for so long as the event of default is continuing, the 2017 Notes will bear default interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The 2017 Notes can be prepaid by us at any time without penalty.

The 2017 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of (i) in the event that any registration statementwe obtain negative results from clinical trials for the public offering of common stock filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with an uplisting to a national stock exchange is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to 68% of the price per share of common stock offered and sold pursuant to such registration statement, or (ii) if no such registration statement is declared effective by December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to the weighted average closing price per share of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2017, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The 2017 Notes rank junior to our secured credit facility with Sterling National Bank. The 2017 Notes also include certain negative covenants including, without the investors' approval, restrictions on dividends and other restricted payments and reclassification of its stock.
Our level of indebtedness may make it difficult to service our debt and may adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing, use operating cash flow in other areas of our business or otherwise adversely affect our operations.

Our Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants that may impair our ability to conduct business.

The Credit Facility contains a number of customary affirmative and negative covenants that, among other things, will limit or restrict our ability to: incur additional indebtedness (including guaranty obligations); incur liens; engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions (other than pursuant to transactions approved by the lender); sell assets; pay dividends and make other payments in respect of capital stock; make acquisitions, investments, loans and advances; pay and modify the terms of certain indebtedness; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; enter into negative pledge clauses and clauses restricting subsidiary distributions; and change its line of business, in each case, subject to certain limited exceptions.  As a result of these covenants and restrictions, we are limited in how we conduct our business and we may be unable to raise additional debtproduct candidates or other financingproblems related to compete effectivelypotential chemistry, manufacturing and control issues or to take advantage of new business opportunities. The terms of anyother hurdles occur and our future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. Failure to comply with such restrictive covenants may lead to default and acceleration under our Credit Facility and may impair our ability to conduct business. We mayproduct candidates are not be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so,approved, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue or obtain waiversfinancing to continue our operations, our ability to execute on our current business plan may be materially impaired, and our reputation in the industry and in the investment community might be significantly damaged. In addition, our inability to properly design, commence and complete clinical trials may negatively impact the timing and results of our clinical trials and ability to seek approvals for our drug candidates.

The testing, marketing and manufacturing of any new drug product for use in the United States will require approval from the lendersFDA. We cannot predict with any certainty the amount of time necessary to obtain such FDA approval and whether any such approval will ultimately be granted. Preclinical and clinical trials may reveal that one or more products are ineffective or unsafe, in which event further development of such products could be seriously delayed or terminated. Moreover, obtaining approval for certain products may require testing on human subjects of substances whose effects on humans are not fully understood or documented. Delays in obtaining FDA or any other necessary regulatory approvals of any proposed drug and failure to receive such approvals would have an adverse effect on the drug’s potential commercial success and on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that a proposed drug may be found to be ineffective or unsafe due to conditions or facts that arise after development has been completed and regulatory approvals have been obtained. In this event, we may be required to withdraw such proposed drug from the market. To the extent that our success will depend on any regulatory approvals from government authorities outside of the United States that perform roles similar to that of the FDA, uncertainties similar to those stated above will also exist.

Serious adverse events or other safety risks could require us to abandon development and preclude, delay or limit approval of our prospective products or current or future product candidates, limit the scope of any approved label or market acceptance, or cause the recall or loss of marketing approval of products that are already marketed.

If any of our prospective products or current or future product candidates, prior to or after any approval for commercial sale, cause serious or unexpected side effects, or are associated with other safety risks such as misuse, abuse or diversion, a number of potentially significant negative consequences could result, including:

regulatory authorities may interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials;
regulatory authorities may deny regulatory approval of our future product candidates;
regulatory authorities may require certain labeling statements, such as warnings or contraindications or limitations on the indications for use, and/or impose restrictions on distribution in the form of a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (“REMS”) in connection with approval or post-approval;
regulatory authorities may withdraw their approval, require more onerous labeling statements, impose a more restrictive REMS, or require it to recall any product that is approved;
we may be required to change the way the product is administered or conduct additional clinical trials;
our relationships with our collaboration partners may suffer;
we could be sued and held liable for harm caused to patients; or
our reputation may suffer. The reputational risk is heightened with respect to those of our future product candidates that are being developed for pediatric indications.

31

We may voluntarily suspend or terminate our clinical trials if at any time we believe that the product candidates present an unacceptable risk to participants, or if preliminary data demonstrates that our future product candidates are unlikely to receive regulatory approval or unlikely to be successfully commercialized.

After completing preclinical testing and obtaining the requisite regulatory authorizations, as applicable, we may voluntarily suspend or terminate our clinical trials for any number of reasons, including if we believe that a product’s use, or a person’s exposure to it, may cause adverse health consequences or death. In addition, regulatory agencies, IRBs or data safety monitoring boards may at any time recommend the temporary or permanent discontinuation of our clinical trials or request that we cease using investigators in the clinical trials if they believe that the clinical trials are not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, or that they present an unacceptable safety risk to participants. Although we have never been asked by a regulatory agency, IRB or data safety monitoring board to temporarily or permanently discontinue a clinical trial, if we elect or are forced to suspend or terminate a clinical trial of any of our future product candidates, the commercial prospects for that product will be harmed and our ability to generate product revenue from that product may be delayed or eliminated. Furthermore, any of these events may result in labeling statements such as warnings or contraindications. In addition, such events or labeling could prevent us or our partners from achieving or maintaining market acceptance of the affected product and could substantially increase the costs of commercializing our future product candidates and impair our ability to generate revenue from the commercialization of these products either by us or by our collaboration partners.

The success of our prospective product candidates and future approved products, if any, especially those containing hemp-derived CBD, is subject to a number of constantly-evolving state and federal laws, regulations, and enforcement policies pertaining to hemp-derived CBD and/or amendcannabis more generally.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, or the covenants,“2018 Farm Bill,” was signed into law on December 20, 2018. This 2018 Farm Bill expressly excluded “hemp” from the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970 and the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act’s, as amended (the “CSA”)’s definition of marijuana and, accordingly, declassified substances derived from or containing any part(s) of the cannabis plant containing not more than 0.3% THC on a dry-weight basis from Schedule I. In effect, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation and commercial sale of hemp in the United States, subject to applicable state laws and regulations and applicable FDCA provisions, including any implementing regulations, as interpreted and enforced by the FDA.

Local, state, federal, and international hemp and CBD laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance requirements. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our proposed business regarding cannabinoid production. It is also possible that the federal government will begin strictly enforcing existing laws, which may limit the legal uses of the hemp plant and its derivatives and extracts, such as cannabinoids. we cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations, or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our activities in the cannabis industry.

In addition, the 2018 Farm Bill did not alter the FDA’s authority to regulate products containing cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds, including cannabinoids, under the FDCA. Hemp products, including cannabinoids, that qualify as drugs, food, dietary supplements, veterinary products, and cosmetics, for example, are subject to regulation by the FDA. Following passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, the FDA reaffirmed its enforcement authority and reiterated the requirement that a product containing CBD or other cannabinoid(s) (hemp-derived or otherwise) that is marketed with a claim of therapeutic benefit implicitly or explicitly attributed to, or based on, the presence of the cannabinoid as an ingredient, or any other health/medical claim, must be approved by the FDA for its intended use(s) before it may be introduced into interstate commerce. Our prospective product candidates are currently intended for development under an IND and, eventually, approval under an NDA, which will mean that, if approved, we can market such products with claims about their proven medical benefits for the applicable indications for use to the extent consistent with the product’s NDA.

While we believe that the 2018 Farm Bill and analogous state legislation has reduced the amount of DEA oversight of hemp-derived cannabinoids, this is a rapidly evolving area of U.S. law and substantial uncertainty remains as to the future of federal and state regulation of cannabinoid products. In addition, the FDA has approved only one natural cannabis-based drug product, which contains only hemp-derived CBD. There can be no assurance that our product candidates containing cannabinoids (as the active drug ingredient(s)) will be similarly approved for commercialization in the United States at any time in the near or distant future. Any regulations the FDA issues relating to the sale, marketing, and/or other activities involving cannabinoid or certain cannabinoid-containing products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Given the uncertainty surrounding future state regulations and the continuing barriers that still exist for cannabinoids in certain product categories due to FDA regulation, it is unknown what impact the removal of hemp from the CSA, and any resulting commercialization of hemp products, may have on our business.

32

Costs associated with compliance with numerous laws and regulations could impact our financial results. In addition, we could become subject to increased enforcement and/or litigation risks associated with the CBD industry.

The manufacture, labeling and distribution of products containing CBD or other cannabinoids is governed by various federal, state and local agencies. To the extent we are able to successfully commercialize any of our currently contemplated product candidates via the FDA’s NDA approval pathway, the presence of cannabinoids as active or inactive ingredients, as applicable, may give rise to heightened regulatory scrutiny and greater risk of consumer litigation, either of which could further restrict the permissible scope of our marketing claims about such products or our ability to sell them in the United States at all. The shifting compliance environment and the need to build and maintain robust systems to comply with different hemp or CBD-related regulations in jurisdictions may increase costs and/or the risk that we may violate one or more applicable regulatory requirements. If our operations, or any of our activities or prospective products, are found to be in violation of any such laws or any other governmental regulations that apply to the manufacture, distribution, or sale of prescription drug products, generally, and to products containing hemp or CBD, we may be subject to penalties, including, without limitation, civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, the curtailment or restructuring of our operations, any of which could adversely affect our ability to operate our business or our financial condition.


Uponresults.

Failure to comply with any applicable FDA requirements, relating to CBD or otherwise, may result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines and criminal prosecutions. Our advertising is also subject to regulation by the occurrenceFTC under the Federal Trade Commission Act. Additionally, analogous state advertising and labeling laws are often enforced by state attorneys general, and any state or federal enforcement action based on potentially misleading or deceptive advertising is often followed by costly class-action complaints under state consumer-protection laws.

The FDA, on its own and in collaboration with the FTC, has issued numerous warning letters to companies offering for sale of an eventtopical, oral, and other types of defaultproducts containing CBD, which were not approved under our Credit Facility, our lender could electthe FDA’s NDA process, in response to accelerate payments duetheir making unsubstantiated claims on product webpages, online stores, and terminate all commitmentssocial media websites about the products’ purported therapeutic or other drug-like benefits in connection with CBD or other cannabinoids. The FDA deemed that companies “used these online platforms to extend further credit. Consequently, we maymake unfounded, egregious claims about their products’ ability to limit, treat or cure cancer, neurodegenerative conditions, autoimmune diseases, opioid use disorder, and other serious diseases, without sufficient evidence and the legally required FDA approval.”

The agency has continuously demonstrated its commitment to taking action against companies making medical claims about products containing CBD (as the active ingredient), as selling unapproved products with unsubstantiated therapeutic claims can put patients and consumers at risk. The FDA does not have sufficient assets to repay the Credit Facility.


Upon the occurrence of an event of default under our Credit Facility, the lender thereunder could elect to declare all amounts outstandingbelieve CBD has been shown to be immediately duesafe and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts,effective for any therapeutic use, except as used in Epidiolex, the lenderonly new drug containing CBD that has been approved by FDA under the Credit Facility could proceed againstNDA process, which was approved for the collateral grantedtreatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or Dravet syndrome in patients 2 years of age and older. The agency’s principal concern with CBD products on the market that are unlawfully claiming to themtreat serious medical conditions is that deceptive marketing of unproven treatments may keep some patients from accessing appropriate, recognized therapies to securetreat serious and even fatal diseases. Additionally, because they are not evaluated by the FDA, there may be other ingredients that indebtedness. are not disclosed, which may be harmful.

The CompanyFDA has pledged substantially allto continue to monitor the marketplace and take enforcement action as-needed to protect the public against companies illegally selling products containing CBD as the active ingredient, claiming to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure serious diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, psychiatric disorders and diabetes; illegally selling cannabis and cannabis-derived products that can put consumers at risk; and marketing and distributing such products in violation of its assets as collateral under the Credit Facility.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Securities and Capital Structure

We have not paid dividendsa material adverse effect on our common stockbusiness, financial condition, and results of operations.

We believe the cannabinoid industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy, quality, and legality of cannabinoid, whether derived from hemp or marijuana. Consumer perception of cannabinoid products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention, and other publicity regarding the consumption of cannabinoid products. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention, or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the cannabinoid market or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Our dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention, or other publicity relating to cannabinoid products, generally or any particular cannabinoid products or derivatives, in the past and do not expect to pay dividendsparticular, regardless of merit or accuracy, could have a material adverse effect on our common stockbusiness, the demand for our product candidates or any products for which we obtain regulatory approval in the future. Such adverse publicity or other negative media attention could arise even if the adverse effects reportedly associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed. Any returnadverse publicity or other similar occurrences affecting consumer perception may have a material adverse impact on investmentour reputation, perception of our product candidates, our ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for our product candidates, and the commercial viability of the products for which regulatory approval is obtained in the future, if any.

33

Our management will be required to devote a substantial time to comply with public company regulations.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as well as rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on public companies, including those related to corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel must devote a substantial amount of time to these requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations increase our common stocklegal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time consuming and costly.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. In particular, we must perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our compliance with these requirements will require that we incur substantial accounting and related expenses and expend significant management efforts. We will likely need to hire additional accounting and financial staff to satisfy the ongoing requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of hiring such staff may be limited to the value of our common stock.


We have never paid cash dividends on our common stockmaterial and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock would depend on earnings, financial condition, payment of dividends on our 9.0% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends on our common stock, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

There is a limited market for our securities, which may make it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB Marketplace. There is a limited trading market for our common stock and as of March 28, 2017 our average daily trading volume was only 262 shares traded per trading day. Accordingly, there can be no assurance asthat such staff will be immediately available to us. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the liquidityrequirements of any marketsSection 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that may develop for our common stock,are deemed to be material weaknesses, investors could lose confidence in the ability of holdersaccuracy and completeness of our common stock to sell shares of our common stock, or the prices at which holders may be able to sell their common stock.

There has been no market for our Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock and we do not expect a public market to develop for them, or, if any market does develop for either security, it may not be sustained. Our Warrants and Series A Preferred Stock are not listed on any exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board.

A sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of the common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market,financial reports, the market price of our common stock could fall. These salesdecline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness, or if we experience additional material weaknesses in the future, our business may be harmed.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for evaluating and reporting on the effectiveness of our system of internal control. Internal control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. As a public company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other rules that govern public companies. In particular, we are required to certify our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires us to furnish annually a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 and concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 due to the material weakness related to segregation of duties. Specifically, due to the small size of our Company, we do not maintain sufficient segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review and authorization of all transactions including non-routine transactions. We are in the process of remediating our material weaknesses and designing an effective internal control environment.

Remediation efforts place a significant burden on management and add increased pressure to our financial resources and processes. If we are unable to successfully remediate our existing material weakness or any additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that may be identified in the future in a timely manner, the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting may be adversely affected; our liquidity, our access to capital markets, the perceptions of our creditworthiness may be adversely affected; we may be unable to maintain or regain compliance with applicable securities laws, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market; we may be subject to regulatory investigations and penalties; investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting; our reputation may be harmed; and our stock price may decline.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

We may not be able to adequately protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, which could harm our competitive position.

We currently hold full or limited rights to several patents as an in-licensee covering the use of CBD including with current cancer treatments, both broadly, as well as for specific cancer types. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain additional patents, protect our trade secrets and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. We rely upon a combination of patents, trade secret protection (i.e., know-how), and confidentiality agreements to protect the intellectual property of our future product candidates. The strengths of patents in the pharmaceutical field involve complex legal and scientific questions and can be uncertain. Where appropriate, we seek patent protection for certain aspects of our products and technology. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents globally can be prohibitively expensive.

Our policy is to look to patent technologies with commercial potential in jurisdictions with significant commercial opportunities. However, patent protection may not be available for some of the products or technology we are developing. If we must spend significant time and money protecting, defending or enforcing our patents, designing around patents held by others or licensing, potentially for large fees, patents or other proprietary rights held by others, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be harmed. We may not develop additional proprietary products that are patentable.

The patent positions of pharmaceutical products are complex and uncertain. The scope and extent of patent protection for our future product candidates are particularly uncertain. Our future product candidates will be based on medicinal chemistry instead of cannabis plants. While we have sought patent protection, where appropriate, directed to, among other things, composition-of-matter for our specific formulations, their methods of use, and methods of manufacture, we do not have and will not be able to obtain composition of matter protection on these previously known CBD derivatives per se. Although we have sought, and will continue to seek, patent protection in the U.S., Europe and other countries for our proprietary technologies, future product candidates, their methods of use, and methods of manufacture, any or all of them may not be subject to effective patent protection. If any of our products is approved and marketed for an indication for which we do not have an issued patent, our ability to use our patents to prevent a competitor from commercializing a non-branded version of our commercial products for that non-patented indication could be significantly impaired or even eliminated.

Publication of information related to our future product candidates by us or others may prevent us from obtaining or enforcing patents relating to these products and product candidates. Furthermore, others may independently develop similar products, may duplicate our products, or may design around our patent rights. In addition, any of our issued patents may be opposed and/or declared invalid or unenforceable. If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may face competition from companies who attempt to create a generic product to compete with our future product candidates. We may also mayface competition from companies who develop a substantially similar product to our future product candidates that is not covered by any of our patents.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting, defending and enforcing intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property rights, particularly those relating to pharmaceuticals, which could make it more difficult for us to sellstop the infringement of our equitypatents or equity-related securitiesmarketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights generally. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business.

Our success depends on our ability to obtain additional intellectual property and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others. Infringement claims by third parties may result in liability for damages or prevent or delay our developmental and commercialization efforts.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part on our ability to obtain additional patents, protect our trade secrets, and operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may face competition from companies who develop a substantially similar product to our future product candidates that is not covered by any of our intellectual property. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting, defending, and enforcing intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property rights, particularly those relating to pharmaceuticals, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. There is also a substantial amount of litigation, both within and outside the U.S., involving patient and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical industry. We may, from time to time, be notified of claims that we are infringing upon the proprietary rights of third parties, and we cannot provide assurances that other companies will not, in the future, at a time and pricepursue such infringement claims against it, our commercial partners, or any third-party proprietary technologies we have licensed.

We may be unsuccessful in licensing additional intellectual property to develop new product candidates.

We may in the future seek to in-license additional intellectual property that we believe could complement or expand our product candidates or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of such licenses may cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable intellectual property. If we acquire additional intellectual property to develop new therapeutic product candidates, we may not be able to realize anticipated cost savings or synergies.

If third parties claim that intellectual property used by us infringes upon their intellectual property, our operating profits could be adversely affected.

There is a substantial amount of litigation, both within and outside the U.S., involving patent and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical industry. We may, from time to time, be notified of claims that we are infringing upon patents, trademarks, copyrights or other intellectual property rights owned by third parties, and we cannot provide assurances that other companies will not, in the future, pursue such infringement claims against us, our commercial partners or any third-party proprietary technologies we have licensed. If we were found to infringe upon a patent or other intellectual property right, or if we failed to obtain or renew a license under a patent or other intellectual property right from a third party, or if a third party that we were licensing technologies from was found to infringe upon a patent or other intellectual property rights of another third party, we may be required to pay damages, including damages of up to three times the damages found or assessed, if the infringement is found to be willful, suspend the manufacture of certain products or reengineer or rebrand our products, if feasible, or we may be unable to enter certain new product markets. Any such claims could also be expensive and time-consuming to defend and divert management’s attention and resources. Our competitive position could suffer as a result. In addition, if we have declined or failed to enter into a valid non-disclosure or assignment agreement for any reason, we may not own the invention or our intellectual property, and our products may not be adequately protected. Thus, we cannot guarantee that any of our future product candidates, or our commercialization thereof, does not and will not infringe any third party’s intellectual property.

If we are not able to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information, the value of our technology and products could be significantly diminished.

We rely on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technologies, especially where it does not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We rely in part on confidentiality agreements with our current and former employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, sponsored researchers, contract manufacturers, vendors and other advisors to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary information. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In addition, we cannot guarantee that we have executed these agreements with each party that may have or have had access to our trade secrets. Any party with whom we or they have executed such an agreement may breach that agreement and disclose our proprietary information, including our trade secrets, and we may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches.

Enforcing a claim that a party illegally disclosed or misappropriated a trade secret is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, some courts inside and outside the United States are less willing or unwilling to protect trade secrets. If any of our trade secrets were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor, we would have no right to prevent them, or those to whom they disclose such trade secrets, from using that technology or information to compete with us. If any of our trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor or other third-party, our competitive position would be harmed.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

We may not obtain the requisite votes at our special meeting to ratify our reverse stock split.

On January 21, 2021, we received a stockholder litigation demand letter from the law firm of Purcell Julie & Lefkowitz LLP, on behalf of James Self, a purported stockholder of our Company. The letter demands that we (i) deem reasonable or appropriate.  This risk is significant becauseineffective the December 30, 2020 amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of concentrated positionsIncorporation in which we effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of our common stock held(the “2020 Reverse Stock Split”) due to the manner in which non-votes by brokers were tabulated, (ii) seek appropriate relief for damages allegedly suffered by the company and its stockholders or seek a small groupvalid stockholder approval of investors.


Because certainthe amendment and reverse stock split, and (iii) adopt adequate internal controls to prevent a recurrence of our stockholders controlthe alleged misconduct. We dispute that the amendment was ineffective or that there were any inadequate internal controls related to the same. However, to eliminate any questions about the amendment, we intend to seek to ratify the amendment at a significant numberspecial stockholders’ meeting pursuant to Section 204 of sharesthe Delaware General Corporation Law. This special stockholders’ meeting is scheduled to occur on May 14, 2021.

On March 19, 2021, in response to the stockholder demand letter, we filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A, which provided notice of our common stock, they may have effective control over actions requiring stockholder approval.


Our directors, executive officers and principala special meeting of stockholders and their respective affiliates, beneficially own approximately 81.75%sought the ratification of the filing and effectiveness of the certificate of amendment to our outstandingamended and restated certificate of incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 30, 2020 to effect the 2020 Reverse Stock Split. Should we fail to obtain the requisite votes to ratify the 2020 Reverse Stock Split, the 2020 Reverse Stock Split will deemed to be invalid, and we will not have a requisite amount of authorized shares of common stock. Accordingly, our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, and their respective affiliates, will have significant influence on the ability to control the Company and the outcome of issues submitted to our stockholders.

The trading pricesthose companies. Broad market and valuations of these stocks,industry factors, as well as general economic, political and of our securities,market conditions such as recessions or interest rate changes, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to us could depress our stock price regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline inseriously affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:

investors react negatively to the effect on our business and prospects;
the announcement of new products, new developments, services or technological innovations by us or our competitors;
actual or anticipated quarterly increases or decreases in revenue, gross margin or earnings, and changes in our business, operations or prospects;

conditions or trends in the life sciences and biopharma industries;
changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other life sciences and biopharma companies;
general market conditions or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to our performance or financial condition;
sale of our common stock by stockholders, including executives and directors;
volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our common stock;
volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of companies in the life sciences and biopharma industries;
our ability to finance our business;
ability to secure resources and the necessary personnel to pursue our plans;
failures to meet external expectations or management guidance;
changes in our capital structure or dividend policy, future issuances of securities, sales or distributions of large blocks of common stock by stockholders;

disputes and litigation related to intellectual properties, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;
investigations by regulators into our operations or those of our competitors;
changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and
other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market prices of particular companies’ securities, alsosecurities class action litigations have often been instituted against these companies. Litigation of this type, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Any adverse determination in any such litigation or any amounts paid to settle any such actual or threatened litigation could require that we make significant payments.

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent months. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common stock.

We may issue additional equity securities in the future, which may result in dilution to existing investors.

To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may, from time to time, sell additional equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine. If we sell additional equity securities, existing stockholders may be materially diluted. New investors could gain rights superior to existing stockholders, such as liquidation and other preferences. In addition, the number of shares available for future grant under our equity compensation plans may be increased in the future. Also, the exercise or conversion of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of capital stock may result in dilution to our stockholders upon any such exercise or conversion.

Certain stockholders could attempt to influence changes within our Company which could adversely affect our abilityoperations, financial condition and the value of our common stock.

Our stockholders may from time to issue additionaltime seek to acquire a controlling stake in our Company, engage in proxy solicitations, advance stockholder proposals or otherwise attempt to effect changes. Campaigns by stockholders to effect changes at publicly-traded companies are sometimes led by investors seeking to increase short-term stockholder value through actions such as financial restructuring, increased debt, special dividends, stock repurchases or sales of assets or the entire company. Responding to proxy contests and other actions by activist stockholders can be costly and time-consuming and could disrupt our operations and divert the attention of our board of directors and senior management from the operation of our business. These actions could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and the value of our common stock.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they publish negative evaluations, the price of our common stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will rely in part on the availability of research and reports that third-party industry or financial analysts publish about our ability to obtain additional financingCompany. There are many large, publicly traded companies active in the future.

Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on liquidity, the fact that we report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities. In addition, charges of this nature may make future financing difficult to obtain on favorable terms or at all.

As a public reporting company,Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we are subject to the reporting requirementsanti-takeover provisions of the Securities Exchange ActDelaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), including Section 203 of 1934,the DGCL. Under these provisions, if anyone becomes an “interested stockholder,” we may not enter into a “business combination” with that person for three (3) years without special approval, which could discourage a third party from making a takeover offer and could delay or prevent a change of control. For purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL, “interested stockholder” means, generally, someone owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of our outstanding voting stock or an affiliate of ours that owned fifteen percent (15%) or more of our outstanding voting stock during the past three (3) years, subject to certain exceptions as amended (the "Exchange Act").  These requirements generate significant accounting, legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult, time consuming or costly and may place significant strain on our personnel and resources.  described in Section 203 of the DGCL.

As a public reporting company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company" under the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain othercould face significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies.  In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

·are not required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the "say-on-pay," "say-on-frequency" and "say-on-golden-parachute" votes);
·are exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
·may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A"); and

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a "smaller reporting company" under SEC rules.  For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or Chief Executive Officer pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company.  In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an "emerging growth company" if we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market valuedevelop.

The listing of our common stock held by non-affiliates,on NASDAQ does not assure that a meaningful, consistent and liquid trading market exists. If an active market for our common stock does not develop, it may be difficult for investors to sell their shares without depressing the market price for the shares or issue more than $1.0 billionat all.

We may acquire businesses or products, or form strategic alliances, in principal amountthe future, and may not realize the benefits of non-convertible debt oversuch acquisitions.

We may acquire additional businesses or products, form strategic alliances, or create joint ventures with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our existing business. If we acquire businesses with promising markets or technologies, we may not be able to realize the benefit of acquiring such businesses if we are unable to successfully integrate them with our existing operations and company culture. We may encounter numerous difficulties in developing, manufacturing, and marketing any new products resulting from a three-year period.  Further, under current SEC rulesstrategic alliance or acquisition that delay or prevent us from realizing their expected benefits or enhancing our business. There is no assurance that, following any such acquisition, we will continueachieve the synergies expected in order to qualify as a "smaller reporting company" for so long as we have a public float (i.e.,justify the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $75 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive due to our reliance on these exemptions.  

Failure to establish and maintain effective internal controlstransaction, which could result in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
We are required to comply with the SEC's rules implementing Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of controls over financial reporting. Though we are required to disclose changes made in our internal controls and procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until year-end 2017. However, as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the end of the fiscal year for which our second annual report is due or the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.
To comply with the requirements of being a public company, we have undertaken various actions, and may need to take additional actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures and hiring additional accounting or internal audit staff. Testing and maintaining internal control can divert our management's attention from other matters that are important to the operation of our business. Additionally, when evaluating our internal control over financial reporting, we may identify material weaknesses that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the applicable deadline imposed upon us for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. If we identify any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or are unable to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner or assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting once we are no longer an emerging growth company, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the market price of our common stock could be negatively affected, and we could become subject to investigations by the Financial Industry Regulatory Agency, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could require additional financial and management resources.
The market price of our securities may decline.

Fluctuations in the price of our securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to this offering, trading in our common stock has been limited.  There is also currently no market for our warrants or the Series A Preferred Stock and it is unclear whether one will develop.  If an active market for our securities develops and continues, the trading price of our securities could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on your investment and our securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of our securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of our securities may include:

·actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us;
·changes in the market's expectations about our operating results;
·success of competitors;
·our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;
·changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning the Company or its markets in general;
·operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company;
·our ability to market new and enhanced products on a timely basis;
·changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;
·commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving the Company;
·changes in the Company's capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;
·the volume of securities available for public sale;
·any major change in our board of directors or management;
·sales of substantial amounts of our securities by our directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and
·general economic and political conditions such as recession; interest rate and international currency fluctuations; and acts of war or terrorism.

In addition, the market price of our common stock could also be affected by possible sales of our common stock by investors who view the Series A Preferred Stock as a more attractive means of equity participation in us and by hedging or arbitrage trading activity that we expect to develop involving our common stock. The hedging or arbitrage could, in turn, affect the trading price of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control. In addition, broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our securities irrespective of our operating performance. The stock market in general has experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. The trading prices and valuations of these stocks, and of our common stock, may not be predictable. A loss of investor confidence in the market for retail stocks or the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to the Company could depress the price of our securities regardless of our business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of our securities also could adversely affect our ability to issue additional securities and our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about the Company, its business, or its market, or if they change their recommendations regarding our securities adversely, the price and trading volume of our securities could decline.

The trading market for our securities will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on the Company. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of the Company, our stock price and trading volume would likely be negatively impacted. If any of the analysts who may cover the Company change their recommendation regarding our securities adversely, or provide more favorable relative recommendations about our competitors, the price of our securities would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover the Company were to cease coverage of the Company or fail to regularly publish reports on it, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
The Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:

·no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
·the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;
·the ability of our board of directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;
·limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;
·controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings;
·providing that directors may be removed prior to the expiration of their terms by stockholders only for cause; and
·advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders' meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer's own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of the Company or changes in our board of directors and management.

Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our security holders to receive a premium for their securities and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our securities.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our indebtedness.

In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding-up, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Series A Preferred Stock only after all of our indebtedness has been paid.  In addition, we are a holding company and the Series A Preferred Stock will effectively rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities (including trade payables) of our subsidiaries and any capital stock of our subsidiaries not held by us. The rights of holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to participate in the distribution of assets of our subsidiaries will rank junior to the prior claims of that subsidiary's creditors and any other equity holders. Consequently, if we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial amounts of additional debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series A Preferred Stock.

We currently have no preferred stock outstanding and no other capital stock outstanding that is senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock. As of March 20, 2017, we had approximately $5 million of total indebtedness for borrowed money.

We are not obligated to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock if prohibited by law and will not be able to pay cash dividends if we have insufficient cash to do so.

Under Delaware law, dividends on capital stock may only be paid from "surplus" or, if there is no "surplus," from the corporation's net profits for the then-current or the preceding fiscal year. Unless we operate profitably, our ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock would require the availability of adequate "surplus," which is defined as the excess, if any, of our net assets (total assets less total liabilities) over our capital.
- 23 -





Further, even if adequate surplus is available to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, we may not have sufficient cash to pay cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock. We may elect to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in shares of additional Series A Preferred Stock; however, our ability to pay dividends in shares of our Series A Preferred Stock may be limited by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock we are authorized to issue under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation").  As of March 20, 2017, we had issued 363,611 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock out of 700,000 authorized shares.
The terms of our financing agreements may limit our ability to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock.

Financing agreements, whether ours or those of our subsidiaries and whether in place now or in the future may include restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends on our capital stock, including the Series A Preferred Stock. These limitations may cause us to be unable to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock unless we can refinance amounts outstanding under those agreements. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to the extent we are restricted by any of our financing arrangements.

The Series A Preferred Stock is a recent issuance that does not have an established trading market, which may negatively affect its market value and the ability to transfer or sell such shares.

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are a recent issue of securities with no established trading market.  Since the Series A Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date, investors seeking liquidity will be limited to selling their shares in the secondary market or converting their shares and selling in the secondary market.  We do not intend to list the Series A Preferred Stock on any securities exchange.  We cannot assure you that an active trading market in the Series A Preferred Stock will develop or, even if it develops, we cannot assure you that it will last. In either case, the trading price of the Series A Preferred Stock could be adversely affected and your ability to transfer your shares of Series A Preferred Stock will be limited. We are not aware of any entity making a market in the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock which we anticipate may further limit liquidity.
With the consent of holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, we may issue additional series of preferred stock that rank equally or superior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and liquidation preference.

Neither our Certificate of Incorporation nor the Certificate of Designations for the Series A Preferred Stock prohibits us from issuing additional series of preferred stock (with the consent of holders of our Series A Preferred Stock) that would rank equally or superior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend payments and liquidation preference. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we have the authority to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, including up to 700,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The issuances of other series of preferred stock could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the Series A Preferred Stock in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. It may also reduce cash dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay dividends on all Series A Preferred Stock outstanding and outstanding parity preferred stock.

Future issuances of preferred stock may adversely affect the market price for our common stock.

Additional issuances and sales of preferred stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decline and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in the financial markets at times and prices favorable to us.

Other than as described below, we do not have any pending litigation that, separately or in the aggregate, would, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On January 21, 2021, we received a stockholder litigation demand letter from the law firm of Purcell Julie & Lefkowitz LLP, on behalf of James Self, a purported stockholder of our Company. The letter demands that we (i) deem ineffective the December 30, 2020 amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in which we effected a reverse stock split due to the manner in which non-votes by brokers were tabulated, (ii) seek appropriate relief for damages allegedly suffered by the company and its stockholders or seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment and reverse stock split, and (iii) adopt adequate internal controls to prevent a recurrence of the alleged misconduct. We dispute that the amendment was ineffective or that there were any inadequate internal controls related to the same. However, to eliminate any questions about the amendment, we intend to seek to ratify the amendment at a special stockholders’ meeting pursuant to Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Act:


Lone Star Value

For the purpose of financing the ongoing business and operations of our company following the Merger, concurrently with the closing of the Merger, we issued a 5% Unsecured Convertible Note due May 26, 2017, in the principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Convertible Note"), together with a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock (the "Original Warrant"), in a private placement (the "Private Placement") to Lone Star Value Investors, LP ("LSVI"), pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 26, 2015.  Prior to the Merger, Lone Star Value was our majority shareholder.  The Convertible Note was unsecured and was to become due on May 26, 2017, the second anniversary of the issue date. Prior to maturity, the Convertible Note bore interest at 5% per annum, with interest being paid semiannually on the first day of each of the first and third calendar quarters. From and after an event of default and for so long as the event of default was continuing, the Convertible Note was to bear default interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The Convertible Note could be prepaid by us at any time without penalty.

The Convertible Note was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $1.80 per share, or an aggregate of 2,777,778 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Convertible Note ranked senior to all of our other obligations, except for trade payables in the ordinary course of business, purchase money asset financing and any inventory or receivables-based credit facility that we may obtain in the future, provided that the amount of the credit facility does not exceed 50% of eligible inventory and 80% of eligible receivables. The Convertible Note also included certain negative covenants including, without LSVI's approval, restrictions on debt and security interests, mergers and the purchase and sale of assets, dividends and other restricted payments and investments.


- 25 -




The Original Warrant issued in the Private Placement gave LSVI the right to purchase up to 2,777,777 shares of common stock (equivalent to 100% warrant coverage in respect of the shares underlying the Convertible Note) at an exercise price equal to $1.80 per share.  The Original Warrant may be exercised on a cashless-exercise basis, meaning that, upon exercise, the holder would make no cash payment to us and would receive a number of shares of our common stock having an aggregate value equal to the excess of the then-current market price of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Original Warrant over the exercise price of the Warrant. The Original Warrant expires on May 26, 2020.


On May 13, 2016, LSVI completed an early partial exercise of its Original Warrant for 1,111,111 shares of our common stock at a price of $1.80 per share, for total consideration to us of $2,000,000, and LSVI was issued a replacement warrant for the remaining 1,166,666 shares under the Original Warrant on the same terms as the Original Warrant.  LSVI also agreed to an amendment of the Convertible Note to extend the maturity of the Convertible Note for two years in exchange for (i) the right to request that the Board expand the size of the Board to nine directors from the current eight, with LSVI having the right to designate up to four of the nine directors and (ii) the issuance of an additional warrant (the "Additional Warrant") for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $6.00 per share, on substantively the same terms as the Original Warrant, except the Additional Warrant may only be exercised for cash.  LSVI's Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 26, 2015, with the Company was also amended and restated to include the shares of common stock issuable under the Additional Warrant.

On December 30, 2016, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with LSVI, pursuant to which the Convertible Note was returned to the Company and cancelled in exchange for 363,611 shares of the Company's Series A Preferred Stock, which is non-convertible and perpetual preferred stock of the Company. As a result of the exchange transaction, no principal or interest remained outstanding or payable under the Convertible Note and the Convertible Note was no longer convertible into shares of common stock of the Company.


2015 and 2016 Issuances

On November 20, 2015, we issued 235,295 shares of our common stock to the former shareholders of Ameri Georgia as part of the total consideration for the acquisition of Ameri Georgia.

On April 20, 2016, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Dhruwa N. Rai, pursuant to which Mr. Rai purchased 500,000 unregistered shares of our common stock from us at a price per share of $6.00 for aggregate consideration to us of $3,000,000.

On July 1, 2016, we issued warrants to purchase 51,000 shares of our common stock to the former members of Bigtech as part of the total consideration for the acquisition of Bigtech. The warrants are exercisable on or after July 1, 2018.

On July 29, 2016, we became obligated to issue 1,600,000 shares of our common stock to the former members of DCM as part of the total consideration for the acquisition of DCM.  The shares are to be issued on July 29, 2018 or upon a change of control of the Company (whichever occurs earlier).

On September 1, 2016, we issued 299,250 shares of common stock to Srinidhi "Dev" Devanur, our Executive Chairman, in connection with the completion of our acquisition of Ameri Consulting Service Private Limited on July 1, 2016, pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated May 26, 2015.

2017 Issuances

On March 7, 2017, we completed the sale and issuance of the 2017 Notes, for proceeds to us of an aggregate of $1,250,000 from four accredited investors, including one of the Company's directors, Dhruwa N. Rai. The 2017 Notes were issued pursuant to Securities Purchase Agreements between the Company and each investor. The 2017 Notes bear interest at 8% per annum until maturity in March 2020, with interest being paid annually on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance of the 2017 Notes beginning in March 2018. From and after an event of default and for so long as the event of default is continuing, the 2017 Notes will bear default interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The 2017 Notes can be prepaid by us at any time without penalty.
- 26 -


The 2017 Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of (i) in the event that any registration statement for the public offering of common stock filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with an uplisting to a national stock exchange is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to 68% of the price per share of common stock offered and sold pursuant to such registration statement, or (ii) if no such registration statement is declared effective by December 31, 2017, such price per share that is equal to the weighted average closing price per share of the Company's common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding December 31, 2017, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The 2017 Notes rank junior to our secured credit facility with Sterling National Bank. The 2017 Notes also include certain negative covenants including, without the investors' approval, restrictions on dividends and other restricted payments and reclassification of its stock.

On March 10, 2017, we issued 576,923 shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of ATCG as part of the total consideration for the acquisition of ATCG. The shares were issued with a value of $6.50 per share. 

The foregoing issuances were exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as sales by an issuer not involving a public offering.  None of the foregoing issuances were registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.  Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.

Business Overview

We are an early-development-stage biosciences company that is developing innovative, evidence-based prescription products and combination therapies containing cannabinoids to address unmet needs in cancer care. We seek to improve the lives of patients suffering from cancer, initially by developing palliative and supportive care products for people suffering from certain side effects of cancer and cancer treatment such forward-looking statements.

We are also aiming to advance a pipeline of novel cannabinoid combination therapies for hard-to-treat cancers, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and several other indications, which are currently being researched.

We intend to bring together leading oncology clinicians and researchers, academic and industry partners so as to develop both external proprietary products and a robust internal pipeline of product candidates aimed at improving quality of life and outcomes for cancer patients. We intend to evaluate options to out-license its proprietary technology as it moves along the State of Delawareregulatory pathway as well as evaluating building a small, targeted selling organization and will potentially utilize a hybrid approach based on the product indication and the market opportunity.

In developing its product candidates, we intend to focus on cannabinoids derived from hemp, other botanical sources, and synthetic materials containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a shell company immediately priororder to comply with U.S. federal regulations.

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), on the other hand, are not psychotropic and are therefore more attractive candidates for translation into Ameritherapeutic practice. In the future, we may utilize cannabinoids that are derived from cannabis plants, which may contain THC; however, we only intend to do so in jurisdictions where THC is legal. These product candidates will then be studied through a typical FDA drug approval process.

We are headquartered in Princeton, NJ, and we have offices across the United States, which are supportedAmalgamation Agreement dated August 12, 2020 (“Original Amalgamation Agreement”), as amended by offices in India. Our model inverts the conventional global delivery model wherein offshore information technology ("IT") service providers are based abroad and maintain a minimal presence in the United States. With a strong SAP focus, our client partnerships anchor around SAP cloud services, artificial intelligence, internet of things and robotic process automation. We pursue an acquisition strategy that seeks to disrupt the established business model of offshore IT service providers.

We generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter into generally fall into two categories: (1) time-and-materials contracts and (2) fixed-price contracts

When a customer enters into a time-and-materials or fixed-price (or a periodic retainer-based) contract, the revenue is recognized in accordance with the deliverables of each contract.

The revenue under timeoutstanding common shares of Jay Pharma, Inc., a Canada corporation and materials contracts is recognized as services rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized undera wholly-owned subsidiary of the proportional performance method of accounting.  We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognized in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated hours to complete the project.

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, sales to five major customers, accounted for 52.75% of our total revenue.

Matters that May or Are Currently Affecting Our Business

The main challenges and trends that could affect or are affecting our financial results include:

·Our ability to attract competent, skilled professionals and on-demand technology partners for our operations at acceptable prices to manage our overhead;
·Our ability to acquire other technology services companies and integrate them with our existing business;
·Our ability to raise additional equity capital, if and when we needed; and
·Our ability to control our costs of operation as we expand our organization and capabilities.

Similarly, Virtuoso and Bigtech added approximately $1.14 million and $520,000, respectively, to revenues.

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses were $417,249 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $119,847 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The increase in selling and marketing expenses was directly attributable to the addition of Ameri Georgia's selling and marketing expenses in 2016, following its acquisition in late 2015.

General and Administration Expenses

General and Administration ("G&A") expenses include all costs, including rent costs, which are not directly associated with revenue-generating activities, as well as the non-cash expense for stock based compensation. These include employee costs, corporate costs and facilities costs. Employee costs include administrative salaries and related employee benefits, travel, recruiting and training costs. Corporate costs include reorganization costs, legal, accounting and outside consulting fees. Facilities costs primarily include rent and communications costs.

Nonrecurring Expenses

Nonrecurring expenditures of $1,585,136 occurred during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and are primarily costs and expenses that are unlikely to occur again in the normal course of business.

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into that certain Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), with its wholly-owned subsidiaries Ameri and Partners and Ameri Georgia, as borrowers, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Linear Logics, Corp. and WinHire Inc serving as guarantors, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Giri Devanur, serving as a validity guarantor, and Sterling National Bank, N.A. (as lender and as agent). The Company joined DCM, Virtuoso and ATCG as borrowers under the Loan Agreement following their respective acquisition.

Under the Loan Agreement, the borrowers are able to borrow up to an aggregate of $10 million, which includes up to $8 million in principal for revolving loans for general working capital purposes, up to $2 million in principal pursuant to a term loan for the purpose of a permitted business acquisition and up to $200,000 for letters of credit. A portion of the proceeds of the Loan Agreement were also used to repay the November 20, 2015 credit facility that was entered into among the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary Ameri Georgia and Federal National Payables, Inc.
The Loan Agreement has a term of three years, which will automatically renew unless a written notice of termination is given by the Borrowers or Sterling to the other at least 60 days prior to the end of the original or any renewed term.  Our outstanding balance with Sterling National Bank for the Term Loan and Revolving Loans was $1.9 and $4.85 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016. Due to our 2016 acquisitions, we did not fulfill certain of the financial covenants contained in our Loan Agreement with Sterling National Bank as of December 31, 2016; however, Sterling National Bank has agreed to waive our compliance with such covenants in exchange for the payment of a fee.
For the purpose of financing the ongoing business and operations of our company, on April 20, 2016, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Dhruwa N. Rai, pursuant to which Mr. Rai purchased 500,000 unregistered shares of ourCompany common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, equal to the exchange ratio of 0.8849 (the “Exchange Ratio”), and Jay Pharma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement. In connection with the Offer, the Company changed its name from us atAMERI Holdings, Inc. to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. The Offer has been accounted for as a price“reverse merger” under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations with Jay Pharma treated as the accounting acquirer of Ameri. As such, the historical financial statements of Jay Pharma have become the historical financial statements of Ameri, or the combined company, and are included in this filing labeled “Enveric Biosciences, Inc.” As a result of the Offer, historical common stock, stock options and additional paid-in capital, including share and per share amounts, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the equity structure of $6.00the combined company, including the effect of the Exchange Ratio and the Common Stock.

Immediately following the completion of the Offer, on December 30, 2020, the Company effected a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the per share exercise price of, and the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying, our stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split were automatically proportionally adjusted based on the 1-for-4 split ratio in accordance with the terms of such options and warrants, as the case may be. Share and per-share amounts of Common Stock, options and warrants included herein have been adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split did not alter the par value of the Common Stock, $0.01 per share, or modify any voting rights or other terms of the Common Stock. Unless otherwise noted, the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto, including the Exchange Ratio applied to historical Jay Pharma common stock and stock options, give retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented.

Upon completion of the Offer, (i) holders of outstanding common shares of Jay Pharma (referred to herein as the Jay Pharma equity holders) other than Alpha Capital Anstalt (“Alpha”) and Bezalel Partners, LLC (“Bezalel”) received the number of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Exchange Ratio of 0.8849, as calculated in accordance with the Tender Agreement, (ii) each of Alpha and Bezalel, as an investor who would have beneficially owned more than 10.0% of the Company if it received Common Stock, received shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which are convertible into shares of Common Stock subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership blocker, pursuant to the terms of the respective exchange agreement entered into by and between Ameri and such stockholder. Each outstanding Jay Pharma option, whether vested or unvested, and warrant that had not previously been exercised was exchanged for Company stock options and Company warrants, in each case convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is non-voting and is convertible into one share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment) at any time at the option of the holder, provided that each holder would be prohibited from converting Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, any such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. This limitation may be waived with respect to a holder upon such holder’s provision of not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by the Board. However, holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-Common Stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when such dividends are specifically declared by the Board. The Company will have no right to require a holder to surrender its Series B Preferred Stock for redemption. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock will not otherwise be entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions.

Upon completion of the Offer and the transactions contemplated in the Tender Agreement, but without giving effect to the issuance of the Series B Warrants to purchase 1,791,923 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share to Alpha following the completion of the Offer, (i) Jay Pharma equity holders, including those who received Series B Preferred Stock in the Offer, own approximately 82.3% of the outstanding equity of the Company, assuming conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) the Ameri equity holders at the time of the completion of the Offer own approximately 14.5% of the outstanding equity of the Company, and (iii) the financial advisor to Jay Pharma and Ameri owns approximately 3.2% of the outstanding equity of the Company.

As a significant investor in Jay Pharma, Alpha received Series B Preferred Stock in the Offer instead of Common Stock, as well as Series B Warrants with a nominal exercise price, which were issued to Alpha following the completion of the Offer to account for an adjustment in pricing of the transactions in light of global economic conditions. Because the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at any time for no consideration, such shares have been included in basic earnings per share. The Series B Warrants are accounted for as a cost of equity as part of the capital issuance. The estimated fair value implied for shares of the Company based on the series of transactions with Alpha is $1.62 per share, which is equal to the $5,300,000 investment made by Alpha divided by 3,262,907, or the number of post-Reverse Stock Split shares of Series B Preferred Stock (convertible into Common Stock) that Alpha received in the Offer.

Simultaneously with the execution of the Original Amalgamation Agreement, Jay Pharma issued a Secured Promissory Note, dated January 10, 2020 (the “Original Note”), to Alpha, pursuant to which, on January 10, 2020, Jay Pharma received a $1,500,000 loan from Alpha. The Original Note was amended to reflect an additional investment of $500,000, resulting in a total principal amount of $2,000,000. The Original Note was further amended on August 12, 2020, to account for the termination of the Original Amalgamation Agreement and the change in the structure of the transaction from an amalgamation to a stock-for-stock exchange offer (as amended, the “Note”). Upon the closing of the Offer, the Note was converted into the right to receive 2,473,848 common shares of Jay Pharma and warrants to purchase 2,333,970 common shares of Jay Pharma at an exercise price of $1.03 per share immediately prior to the Offer. In connection with the Offer, such common shares and warrants of Jay Pharma acquired by Alpha upon conversion of the Note were converted into the right to receive (i) 547,278 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are convertible into up to 547,278 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 516,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.64 per share, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

Alpha also acquired 3,500,954 common shares of Jay Pharma and warrants to purchase 3,500,954 common shares of Jay Pharma at an exercise price of $1.03 per share, immediately prior to the Offer, in connection with the $3 million private placement completed prior to the completion of the Offer (the “Alpha Investment”). In connection with the Offer, such common shares and warrants of Jay Pharma acquired by Alpha in the Alpha Investment were converted into, as applicable, the right to receive (i) 774,499 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are convertible into up to 774,499 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 774,499 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.64 per share, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

On December 4, 2020, Jay Pharma and Alpha executed a securities purchase agreement whereby Alpha purchased an additional 1,000,000 common shares of Jay Pharma and warrants to purchase 500,000 common shares of Jay Pharma at an exercise price of $0.30 per share for an aggregate considerationpurchase price of $300,000 (the “Alpha December Investment”). In connection with the Offer, such shares were exchanged for 221,225 shares of Common Stock, and such warrants were exchanged for warrants to uspurchase 110,613 shares of $3,000,000.



On May 13, 2016, LSVI completedCommon Stock at $1.36 per share.

Additionally, at the effective time of the Offer, the Company issued five-year warrants (the “Series B Warrants”) to purchase 1,791,923 shares of Common Stock at an early partialexercise price of $0.01 to Alpha, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants is equal to the product of (i) 8,100,000 and (ii) the Exchange Ratio of 0.8849, post-Reverse Stock Split.

After giving effect to the conversion of its OriginalSeries B Preferred Stock, the warrants issued to Alpha in connection with the Alpha Investment and the Alpha Bridge Loan and the Series B Warrants, Alpha’s total ownership interest in the Company will be 5,008,078 common shares, or 33.9%, without giving effect to the beneficial ownership limitations in its Series B Preferred Stock. However, under the terms of each of such securities, Alpha may not convert such security to the extent such conversion would cause Alpha, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 9.99% of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding following such exercise.

Intellectual Property Acquisition

In connection with the Offer, Jay Pharma entered into a series of assignment and assumption agreements with affiliates of a third party, Tikkun Pharma, Inc. (“Tikkun”), pursuant to which, on October 2, 2020, Tikkun assigned to Jay Pharma all of Tikkun’s (i) rights to certain skin care treatment assets and (ii) intellectual property rights to certain formulations for the development of therapeutic candidates for the prevention, management and treatment of graft versus host disease (GVHD) in exchange for an aggregate of 10,360,007 common shares of Jay Pharma.

Because Alpha required additional shares of the Company, at no or a nominal cost, for Alpha to consummate the Alpha Bridge Loan and the Alpha Investment at the planned valuation, Alpha entered into an agreement with Tikkun pursuant to which, immediately following such assignment, Tikkun sold 7,774,463 of these common shares of Jay Pharma to Alpha for the nominal aggregate purchase price of $10.00 (the “Alpha Nominal Shares”), leaving Tikkun with 2,585,544 common shares of Jay Pharma (the “Tikkun Shares”). In connection with the Offer, the Tikkun Shares were exchanged for 571,987 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, and the Alpha Nominal Shares were exchanged for 1,719,906 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are convertible into up to 1,719,906 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

We believe that, as a result of these transactions, we currently have sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet our funding requirements over the next year. Notwithstanding, we expects that we will need to raise additional financing to accomplish our development plan over the next several years. We may seek to obtain additional funding through debt or equity financing in the future. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all, or that cash flows generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our current operating costs. Our ability to obtain additional capital may depend on prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors beyond our control. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unstable economic environment globally. Disruptions in the global financial markets may adversely impact the availability and cost of credit, as well as our ability to raise money in the capital markets. Current economic conditions have been and continue to be volatile. Continued instability in these market conditions may limit our ability to access the capital necessary to fund and grow our business. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development, which could harm our financial condition and operating results.

Cash Flows

Since inception, we have primarily used our available cash to fund our product development expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. The Company does not have any subsidiaries to include or otherwise consolidate into the financial statements. Additionally, the Company does not have interests in, nor relationships with, any special purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding its management’s discussion and analysis. The Company’s significant accounting policies are presented in Note 3 to its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included elsewhere in this annual report. The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance and in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding consolidated financial information. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the report amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from estimates.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any registration statementrecently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements, other than those disclosed below.

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance will also require additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The provisions of this update are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted this ASU, which will did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic, 842, Leases”, which clarifies how to apply certain aspects of the new leases standard, ASC 842. The amendments address the rate implicit in the lease, impairment of the net investment in the lease, lessee reassessment of lease classification, lessor reassessment of lease term and purchase options, variable payments that depend on an index or rate and certain transition adjustments, among other things.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements”, which provides entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASC 842. Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11, (1) entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842 and (2) lessors may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts. As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not have greater than $250,000 at any US or Canadian financial institutions.

Foreign Currency Risk

From inception through December 31, 2020, the reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar while the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. As a result, the Company is subject to exposure from changes in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar.

The Company has not entered into any financial derivative instruments that expose it to material market risk, including any instruments designed to hedge the impact of foreign currency exposures. The Company may, however, hedge such exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations in the future.

Recent Developments

Change in Certifying Accountant

On January 5, 2021, our Audit Committee of the board of directors approved the dismissal of Ram Associates, CPA (“Ram”) as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective December 31, 2020, and engaged Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2020. Prior to the completion of the Offer, Marcum served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Jay Pharma, and we believe the change in auditors will be more efficient for reporting purposes.

January 2021 Registered Direct Offering

On January 12, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “January 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with Alpha, The Hewlett Fund LP, Alto Opportunity Master Fund, SPC – Segregated Master Portfolio B (“Alto”), Iroquois Master Fund Ltd., Iroquois Capital Investment Group LLC and Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd (collectively, the “Subsequent Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering (the “January 2021 Direct Offering”) an aggregate of common stock filed2,221,334 shares of our Common Stock at an offering price of $4.5018 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000 before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. Under the January 2021 Purchase Agreement, the Subsequent Investors could choose to purchase pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) in lieu of shares of Common Stock. The offering closed on January 14, 2021.

The Pre-funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder of a Pre-funded Warrant may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Pre-funded Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.

The shares, the Pre-funded Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrant Shares”) were offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233260), previously filed with the SEC in connection with an uplisting to a national stock exchange ison August 14, 2019, and declared effective by the SEC on or priorNovember 19, 2019.

The January 2021 Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate five years following issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $4.9519 per share, that is equalsubject to 68%adjustment as set forth therein. A holder of January 2021 Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its January 2021 Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.

The January 2021 Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the January 2021 Warrants (the “January 2021 Warrant Shares”) were not registered under the Securities Act, were not offered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder as a transaction by the issuer not involving a public offering.

To induce the Subsequent Investors into the January 2021 Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated January 12, 2021 (the “January Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Subsequent Investors, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission this Registration Statement to register for resale of all of the January 2021 Warrant Shares.

Letter Agreement with Alpha

On January 12, 2021 we entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Alpha. Under the Letter Agreement, (i) we agreed to register 1,791,923 of the Series B Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of Series B Warrants, (ii) the Series B Warrant Shares will not be subject to an existing lock-up agreement between us and Alpha, and Alpha will no longer be subject to any limitations on its ability to dispose of the Series B Warrant Shares that are imposed by us to the extent permitted by applicable rules and regulations, (iii) Alpha agreed to limit its sales of Common Stock on each trading day to no more than 10% of the daily reported trading volume of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market for such trading day, provided, such limitation shall terminate if the closing price of our shares of Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market exceeds $5.29 per share for five consecutive trading days and (iv) we will be free to waive the terms and conditions of common stock offeredany lock-up agreement between us and sold pursuantany of the former shareholders of Jay Pharma Inc. without the consent of, or notice to, suchAlpha once this registration statement or (ii) if no such registration statementregistering the Series B Warrant Shares is declared effective by the SEC.

Stockholder Demand Letter

On January 21, 2021, we received a stockholder litigation demand letter from the law firm of Purcell Julie & Lefkowitz LLP, on behalf of James Self, a purported stockholder of our Company. The letter demands that we (i) deem ineffective the December 31, 2017, such30, 2020 amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in which we effected a one-for-four reverse stock split of our common stock due to the manner in which non-votes by brokers were tabulated, (ii) seek appropriate relief for damages allegedly suffered by the company and its stockholders or seek a valid stockholder approval of the amendment and reverse stock split, and (iii) adopt adequate internal controls to prevent a recurrence of the alleged misconduct. We dispute that the amendment was ineffective or that there were any inadequate internal controls related to the same. However, to eliminate any questions about the amendment, we intend to seek to ratify the amendment at a special stockholders’ meeting pursuant to Section 204 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This special stockholders’ meeting is scheduled to occur on May 14, 2021.

February 2021 Registered Direct Offering

On February 8, 2021, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 2021 Purchase Agreement”) with the Subsequent Investors, pursuant to which the Company issued and sold in a registered direct offering (the “February 2021 Direct Offering”) an aggregate of 3,007,026 shares of our Common Stock at an offering price of $4.27 per share, that is equalfor gross proceeds of approximately $12,800,000 before the deduction of fees and offering expenses.

The 2017 Notes also include certain negative covenants including, without the investors' approval, restrictions on dividends and other restricted payments and reclassificationexercise any portion of its stock.


Operating Activities

Our largest source of operating cash flows is cash collections from our customers for different information technology services we render under various statements of work. Our primary uses of cash from operating activities are for personnel-related expenditures, leased facilities and taxes.

Future Sources of Liquidity

We expect our primary source of cash to be positive net cash flows provided by operating activities. We also continue to focus on cost reductions and have initiated steps to reduce overheads and provide cash savings.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we expect our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, and our ongoing cash flows that are not deemed permanently reinvested, to be sufficient to meet our operating liquidity requirements described above for at leastFebruary 2021 Warrants if the 12 months following the date of this report.

Impact of Inflation

We do not believe that inflation had a significant impact on our results of operations forSection 4(a)(2) under the periods presented. On an ongoing basis, we attempt to minimize any effects of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costsSecurities Act and whenever possible, seeking to ensure that billing rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

issuer not involving a public offering.

To induce the Subsequent Investors into the February 2021 Purchase Price Allocation. We allocateAgreement, the purchase price of our acquisitions to the assets and liabilities acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Some of the items, including accounts receivable, property and equipment, other intangible assets, certain accrued liabilities and other reserves requireCompany also entered into a degree of management judgment. Certain estimates may change as additional information becomes available. Goodwill is assigned at the enterprise level and is deductible for tax purposes for certain types of acquisitions. Management finalizes the purchase price allocation within the defined measurement period of the acquisition date as certain initial accounting estimates are resolved.


Valuation of Contingent Earn-out Consideration. Acquisitions may include contingent consideration payments based on the achievement of certain future financial performance measures of the acquired company. Contingent consideration is required to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. We estimate the fair value of these liabilities based on financial projections of the acquired companies and estimated probabilities of achievement. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. We evaluate, on a routine, periodic basis, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration and changes in estimated fair value, subsequent to the initial fair value estimate at the time of the acquisition, will be reflected in income or expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations may result from changes in discount periods and rates, changes in the timing and amount of revenue and/or earnings estimates and changes in probability assumptions with respect to the likelihood of achieving the various earn-out criteria. Any changes in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration may have a material impact on our operating results.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordanceregistration rights agreement, dated February 8, 2021 (the “February Registration Rights Agreement”), with the Accounting Standard Codification 605 "Revenue Recognition."

Resale Registration Statement

On February 16, 2021, we filed a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-253196) (the “Resale Registration Statement”) registering 5,497,878 shares of our common stock, consisting of the Series B Warrant Shares, the January 2021 Warrant Shares, the February 2021 Warrant Shares, the Palladium Warrant Shares, 156,318 shares issued to former directors and officers of Ameri and 14,121 shares issued to a former consultant of the Company.

The allowance for uncollectible accounts as of December 31, 2016 was $0 anddeclared effective shortly following the allowance as of December 31, 2015 was $409,749. Based on the information available, management believes our accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, are collectible.


Property and Equipment. Property and equipment is stated at cost. We provide for depreciation of property and equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets ranging from 3 to 7 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease terms or the useful lives of the improvements. We charge repairs and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets to expenses as incurred.

We account for computer software costs developed for internal use in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States, which require companies to capitalize certain qualifying costs during the application development stage of the related software development project and to exclude the initial planning phase that determines performance requirements, most data conversion, general and administrative costs related to payroll and training costs incurred. Whenever a software program is considered operational, we consider the project to be completed, place it into service and commence amortization of the development cost in the succeeding month.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On November 17, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which is intended to reduce diversity in the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The new standard requires that restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents be included as components of total cash and cash equivalents as presented on the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years, but earlier adoption is permitted.  We do not believe the adoptionfiling of this new standard will have a material impactAnnual Report on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifiesItem 7A. Quantitative and provides a more robust framework to use in determining when a set of assets and activities is a business. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for acquisition or deconsolidation transactions occurring before the issuance date or effective date and only when the transactions have not been reported in issued or made available for issuance financial statements. We do not believe the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under this new standard, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. This ASU eliminates existing guidance that requires an entity to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not believe the adoption of this new standard will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Company's management, including our Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are not yet effective as of the end of the period covered by this report as noted below in management's report on internal control over financial reporting. This is largely due to the fact that we are acquiring privately held companies as part of our growth strategy and our control procedures over all acquired subsidiaries will not be effective until such time as we are able to fully integrate the acquisition with our company and set processes and procedures for the acquired entities.  We are working to improve and harmonize our financial reporting controls and procedures across all of our companies.  There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred duringprocess. Therefore, it is possible to design into the period covered byprocess safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Overover Financial Reporting


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management has assessed the effectiveness of our internaland 15d-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting asis a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of December 31, 2016, based on criteria establishedour financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued byaccordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Our internalUnited States. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintainingpolicies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect ourthe transactions and dispositions of our assets; providingprovide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary forto permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; providing reasonable assuranceprinciples in the United States, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizationsthe authorization of managementour board of directors and our directors;management; and providingprovide reasonable assurance thatregarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), we performed an assessment of the Company’s significant processes and key controls. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 due to the material weakness described below.

A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements wouldwill not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As a result of this assessment, our management concludedWe determined that as of December 31, 2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not yet effective in providing reasonable assurance regardinghad the reliabilityfollowing material weaknesses:

Due to the small size of the Company, the Company does not maintain sufficient segregation of duties to ensure the processing, review and authorization of all transactions including non-routine transactions.

The Company is evaluating these weaknesses to determine the appropriate remedy. Because disclosure controls and procedures include those components of internal control over financial reporting and thethat provide reasonable assurances that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  This is largely due to the factprinciples, management also determined that we are acquiring privately held companies as part of our growth strategy and our control procedures over all acquired subsidiaries will not be effective until such time as we are able to fully integrate the acquisition with our company and set processes and procedures for the acquired entities.  We are working to improve and harmonize our financial reportingits disclosure controls and procedures across allwere not effective as a result of our companies.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of our independent auditors regardingthe foregoing material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent auditors pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit our company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

None.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2020, the Company was in the process of remediating its material weaknesses and designing an effective internal control environment.

Director Independence

We are currently listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market and therefore rely on the definition of independence set forth in the NASDAQ Listing Rules (“NASDAQ Rules”). Under the NASDAQ Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment, and affiliations, including family relationships, we have determined that Mr. Kegler, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Schabacker and Dr. Lind have no material relationships with us that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment and are “independent directors” as that term is defined in the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

Board Committees, Meetings and Attendance

We expect our directors to attend board meetings, meetings of any committees and subcommittees on which they serve and each annual meeting of stockholders.

The board delegates various responsibilities and authority to different board committees. Committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full board. Currently, the board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Committee assignments are re-evaluated annually. Each of these standing committees operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board. The current charter of each of these committees is available on our website at www.enveric.com in the “Corporate Governance” section under “Investors.”

Alpha Investment

At the signing of the Original Amalgamation Agreement, Alpha entered into the Original Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement,

On April 20, 2016, pursuant to which Alpha agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to purchase common shares of Jay Pharma and Jay Pharma Series A Warrants to purchase Jay Pharma’s common shares for an aggregate total purchase price of $3,500,000. The Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement was amended on August 12, 2020 (as discussed further below), to account for the termination of the Original Amalgamation Agreement and the change in the structure of the transaction from an amalgamation to a stock-for-stock exchange offer (the “Third Alpha SPA Amendment”). The terms described in the following paragraphs reflect the terms of the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement as amended by the Third Alpha SPA Amendment.

The closing of the Alpha Investment is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement. The obligations of Alpha under the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with the closing of the Alpha Investment are also subject to the condition that, from the date of the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement to the date of closing of the Alpha Investment, trading in Ameri’s common stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or NASDAQ, and, at any time prior to the closing date of the Alpha Investment, trading in securities generally as reported by Bloomberg L.P. shall not have been suspended or limited, or minimum prices shall not have been established on securities whose trades are reported by such service, or on any trading market, nor shall a banking moratorium have been declared either by the U.S. or New York State authorities.

The Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement provides certain customary covenants, conditions, representations and warranties, and other agreements by and between Jay Pharma and Alpha. In addition, Jay Pharma has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Offer, and as a condition to closing of the Offer, to cause Ameri to assume all of Jay Pharma’s obligations under the warrants and the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement, from the closing date of the Offer until 120 days thereafter, Jay Pharma agreed to not permit or allow Ameri or any of its subsidiaries to issue, enter into agreement to issue, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Ameri common stock. Additionally, for a period of 18 months following the closing date of the Offer, Ameri is prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by Ameri or any of its subsidiaries of their respective common stock or common stock equivalent involving a variable rate transaction. A “variable rate transaction” means a transaction in which Ameri (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of common stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of common stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of Ameri or the market for the common stock, or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby Ameri may issue securities at a future determined price. Additionally, from the closing date of the Offer until such time as Alpha holds less than one-fifth of the shares issued in connection with the Alpha Investment, Alpha will hold certain anti-dilution rights outlined in the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement.

Upon the closing of the Alpha Investment under the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement immediately prior to the Offer, Alpha received approximately 3,500,954 common shares of Jay Pharma and Jay Pharma Series A Warrants to purchase 3,500,954 common shares of Jay Pharma at an exercise price of $1.03 per common share (the “Alpha Investment Securities”). In connection with the Offer, such common shares and warrants of Jay Pharma acquired by Alpha in the Alpha Investment were converted into, as applicable, the right to receive (i) 774,499 shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are convertible into up to 774,499 shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 774,499 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.64 per share, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split. The Company warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company common stock and the exercise price. The Series B Preferred Stock of the Company and the warrants to purchase Company common stock to be issued to Alpha are convertible or exercisable, as applicable, subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership blocker.

First Amendment to Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement

On June 23, 2020, Jay Pharma and Alpha entered into the Second Note Amendment. The Second Note Amendment also amended the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement to reduce the amount of the investment in Jay Pharma’s common shares and Jay Pharma Series A Warrants from $3,500,000 to $3,000,000.

Second Amendment to Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement

On August 12, 2020, Jay Pharma and Alpha entered into a Stocksecond amendment to the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Second Alpha SPA Amendment”). The Second Alpha SPA Amendment revised the formula regarding the securities to be issued to Alpha in connection with Dhruwa N. Rai,the closing of the amalgamation to match the formula set forth in the Original Amalgamation Agreement. Additionally, the Second Alpha SPA amended the termination rights under the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement to extend the termination date from July 7, 2020 to September 30, 2020.

Third Amendment to Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement

On August 12, 2020, Jay Pharma and Alpha entered into a third amendment to the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Third Alpha SPA Amendment”). The Third Alpha SPA Amendment revised the references to the Original Amalgamation Agreement and amalgamation to be references to the Tender Agreement and the Offer, as applicable, in order to account for the change in transaction structure from an amalgamation to a stock-for-stock exchange offer. Additionally, the Third Alpha SPA Amendment amended the termination rights under the Alpha Securities Purchase Agreement to extend the termination date from September 30, 2020 to January 1, 2021.

Company Warrants

As noted above, in connection with conversion of the Note and the closing of the Alpha Investment, which occurred immediately prior to the closing of the Offer, Alpha received warrants to purchase common shares of Jay Pharma. Further, as noted above, in connection with the Offer and pursuant to the terms of the Tender Agreement and the Alpha Exchange Agreement, these warrants were exchanged for Company warrants to purchase pre-reverse stock split shares of Company common stock equal to the number of common shares of Jay Pharma underlying such outstanding Jay Pharma warrants multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with the exercise price of such converted warrants determined by dividing the exercise price of the Jay Pharma warrant by the Exchange Ratio. The Company warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the original issuance date. The exercise price and number of shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting Jay Pharma common stock and the exercise price.

If, at the time Alpha exercises its Company common stock warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Company common stock underlying the Company common stock warrants under the Securities Act is not then available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, Alpha may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Company common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Company common stock warrants.

Alpha (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Company common stock warrant to the extent that Alpha would own more than 9.99% of the outstanding Company common stock immediately after exercise; provided, however, that upon notice to the Company, Alpha may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation, provided that in no event shall the beneficial ownership limitation exceed 9.99% and any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice of such increase from Alpha to the Company.

If the Company, at any time while the Company common stock warrant is outstanding, sells or grants any option to purchase, or sells or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Company common stock (or common stock equivalents), at an effective price per share less than the exercise price then in effect, then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each such dilutive issuance, the exercise price will be reduced to equal the exercise price then in effect, subject to certain exceptions, which includes issuance of securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company and not for the primary purpose of raising capital.

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the common warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of the Company’s common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of Company’s properties or assets, the Company’s consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by the Company’s outstanding common stock, Alpha will be entitled to receive upon exercise of such warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that Alpha would have received had they exercised the Company’s common stock warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

Because Alpha required additional shares of the Company, 500,000at no or a nominal cost, for Alpha to consummate the Alpha Bridge Loan and the Alpha Investment at the planned valuation, Alpha entered into an agreement with Tikkun pursuant to which, immediately following such assignment, but prior to the Offer, Tikkun sold 7,774,463 of these common shares of itsJay Pharma to Alpha for the nominal aggregate purchase price of $10.00 (the “Alpha Nominal Shares”), leaving Tikkun with 2,585,544 common shares of Jay Pharma (the “Tikkun Shares”).

AMERI Holdings, Inc.'s management is responsiblethe related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for theseeach of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Fair Value of Common Stock Used in the Purchase of Intangible Assets

As discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements, on October 2, 2020, the Company purchased skincare assets for an aggregate purchase price of $1,944,689, which included cash consideration of $44,413 and the issuance of common stock, which was valued at $1,900,546. At the time of the transaction, the Company was a private company.

The valuation of private company common stock requires significant judgment in weighting the various indicators of fair value. The principals and considerations to be applied include:

Indicators of value are those comparable transactions between informed, willing, buyers and sellers;
Comparable transaction must be orderly and not in a distressed situation;
Maximize the weight of observable inputs, where possible;
Securities issued as the indicator of value must be similar or identical to the securities being valued;
Timing of comparable transactions must be close to the valuation date
Consideration as to whether the valuation of the technology is more indicative of the fair value of the assets acquired in comparison to the consideration paid.

Due to the significance of the intangible assets to the Company’s financial statements and the inherent judgment necessary to estimate the valuation of the common stock, we determined that the fair value of common stock used in the purchase of intangible assets was a critical audit matter, which required significant auditor judgment and specialized skill and knowledge.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements referredstatements. These procedures included, but were not limited to, above present fairly,the following:

We evaluated management’s process for the selection of the valuation methodology and the methods and significant assumptions used by management;
With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology used;
We evaluated the reasonableness of the inputs subject to assumptions and verified the accuracy and completeness of those inputs to the underlying transaction data utilized in the valuation of the common stock and verified; and
We performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions used in the valuation model to evaluate the change in fair value resulting from changes in the significant assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - Business

Nature of operations

Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (“Enveric Biosciences, Inc.”, “Enveric” or the financial position“Company”) (formerly known as Ameri Holdings, Inc.) (“Ameri”) is a pharmaceutical company developing innovative, evidence-based cannabinoid medicines. The head office of the Company is located in Naples, Florida.

On January 10, 2020, the Company entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (as amended on May 6, 2020), (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with Jay Pharma Merger Sub, Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Jay Pharma Inc., a company organized under the laws of Canada (“Jay Pharma”), Jay Pharma ExchangeCo., Inc. a company organized under the laws of British Columbia and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ExchangeCo”), and Barry Kostiner, as the Company Representative, which provided that, among other things, Merger Sub and Jay Pharma would be amalgamated and would continue as one corporation (“Amalco”), with Amalco continuing as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ExchangeCo and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement. On August 12, 2020, the Company, Jay Pharma and certain other signatories thereto entered into a tender agreement (the “Tender Agreement”), which provided that, among other things, Ameri would make a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay Pharma for the number of shares of Enveric common stock equal to the exchange ratio set forth in the Tender Agreement, and Jay Pharma would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameri, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tender Agreement. The Tender Agreement terminated and replaced in its entirety the Amalgamation Agreement. On December 30, 2020, the Company, Jay Pharma, Merger Sub, and ExchangeCo consummated the Tender Agreement and Jay Pharma became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization and accordingly, the historical financial statements prior to the date of the Business Combination in these consolidated financial statements are those of Jay Pharma. The transaction is further described in Note 7.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. Since then, COVID-19 has spread to multiple countries, including the United States. As the COVID-19 continues to spread in the United States, the Company may experience disruptions that could severely impact the Company. The global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to rapidly evolve. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company’s business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the United States and other countries, business closures or business disruptions and the effectiveness of actions taken in the United States to contain and treat the disease. The Company is in process of monitoring COVID-19’s potential impact on the Company’s operations.

Note 2 – Liquidity

The Company has incurred continuing losses from its operations and as of December 31, 20162020, had an accumulated deficit of $11,759,557 and 2015working capital of $1,597,920. Since inception, the Company’s operations have been funded principally through the issuance of debt and equity.

On January 14, 2021, the resultsCompany completed a registered direct offering of 2,221,458 shares of common stock at approximately $4.50 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $10,000,000. On February 11, 2021, the Company completed a registered direct offering of 3,007,026 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $12.8 million. As of March 30, 2021, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $22.9 million.

The Company believes that, as a result of these transactions, it currently has sufficient cash and financing commitments to meet its funding requirements. Accordingly, management has since reevaluated the Company’s liquidity and financial condition and determined that sufficient capital exists to sustain operations through one year from the issuance of these financial statements and therefore substantial doubt has been alleviated. Notwithstanding, the Company expects that it will need to raise additional financing to accomplish its development plan over the next several years. The Company will require additional funding through debt or equity financing in the future. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operationsplanned development, which could impact its financial condition and its cash flows for eachoperating results.

AMERI HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO AUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2016

 NOTE 1.            ORGANIZATION:
AMERI Holdings, Inc. ("AMERI", the "Company", "we" or "our") is a fast-growing company that, through the operations of its twelve subsidiaries, provides SAPTM cloud and digital enterprise services to clients worldwide. Headquartered in Princeton, New Jersey, we typically go to market both vertically by industry and horizontally by product/technology specialties and provide our customers with a wide range of business and technology offerings. We work with customers, primarily within North America, to improve process, reduce costs and increase revenue through the judicious use of technology.

NOTE 2.            BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying audited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by AMERI pursuant to theapplicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"“SEC”) regarding annualconsolidated financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annualinformation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally acceptedU.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and expenses during the periods reported. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effects on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include determining the fair value of transactions involving common stock and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The financial statements of Americacompanies located outside of the U.S. are measured in their functional currency, which is the local currency. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated using public exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using average monthly exchange rates. Shareholders’ equity accounts and non-monetary assets are translated at their historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying balance sheets.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

Intangibles

The Company has finite-lived intangible assets. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Following initial recognition of the finite-lived intangible asset, the asset is carried at cost less any accumulated amortization. Amortization of the asset begins when the asset is available for use. Amortization is recorded in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company periodically reviews its owned intangible assets for recoverability.

Impairment of Long Term Assets

The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets subject to amortization whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. An impairment charge is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds its net undiscounted future cash flows and its fair market value. The amount of the charge is the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair market value.

Leases

On February 25, 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This update will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance will also require additional disclosures about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted this ASU, which did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is based upon income or loss after adjustment for those permanent items that are not considered in the determination of taxable income. Deferred income taxes represent the tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liabilities. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been omittedmade. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be recorded.

Note 3 – SUMMARY OF Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Income Taxes, continued

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with tax audits is to record such items as a component of operating expenses. There were no amounts accrued for penalties and interest for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company does not expect its uncertain tax positions to change during the next twelve months. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviations from its position.

The Company has identified its United States and Canadian federal tax return, its state and provincial tax returns in Florida and Ontario, CA as its “major” tax jurisdictions. The Company is in the process of filing its corporate tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Net operating losses for these periods will not be available to reduce future taxable income until the returns are filed.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which addresses the accounting for stock-based payment transactions, requiring such transactions to be accounted for using the fair value method. Awards of shares for property or services are recorded at the more readily measurable of the estimated fair value of the stock award and the estimated fair value of the service. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of stock-based awards under ASC 718. The estimated fair value is amortized as a charged to earnings on a straight-line basis depending on the terms and conditions of the award, and the nature of the relationship of the recipient of the award to the Company. The Company records the grant date fair value in line with the period over which it was earned. For employees and consultants, this is typically considered to be the vesting period of the award. The Company estimates the expected forfeitures and updates the valuation accordingly.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and convertible notes. The computation of basic net loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 excludes potentially dilutive securities. The computations of net loss per share for each period presented is the same for both basic and fully diluted.

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which at times, may exceed the Federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, notes payable and convertible notes payable, approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of such financial instruments.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED

As of December 31, 2020 and Srinidhi "Dev" Devanur,2019, the Company had net operating loss carryovers of $5,057,176 and $3,788,788, respectively, for Canadian federal income tax purposes, which begin to expire in 2029. The ultimate realization of the net operating loss is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, of the Company. Based on losses from inception, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company will not record income tax benefits in the financial statements until it is determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax assets. As a result of the analysis, the Company determined that a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets was required of $1,340,152 and $1,004,029 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On November 20, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Bellsoft, Inc., a consulting company based in Lawrenceville, Georgia with over 175 consultants specialized in the areas of SAP software, business intelligence, data warehousing and other enterprise resource planning services. On August 29, 2016, the name of Bellsoft, Inc. was changed to Ameri100 Georgia Inc. ("Ameri Georgia"). Ameri Georgia has operations in the United States, Canada and India. For financial accounting purposes, we recognized September 1, 2015 as the effective date of the acquisition. The consideration for the acquisition of Ameri Georgia consisted of;

(a)A cash payment in the amount of $3,000,000, which was paid at closing;

The valuation of Ameri Georgia was made on the basis of its projected revenues. The accounting acquisition date for Ameri Georgia was determined on the basis of the date when the Company acquired control of Ameri Georgia, in accordance with FASB codification ASU 805-10-25-6 for business combinations. That ASU provides that the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree generally is the date on which the acquirer legally transfers the consideration, acquires the assets, and assumes the liabilities of the acquiree—the closing date. However, the acquirer might obtain control on a date that isparties. The Agreement may be terminated by either earlier or later than the closing date. For example, the acquisition date precedes the closing date if aparty upon thirty (30) days written agreement provides that the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree on a date before the closing date. An acquirer shall consider all pertinent facts and circumstances in identifying the acquisition date.  The term sheet and the Share Purchase Agreement that were entered into by the Company and Ameri Georgia contained agreements by the parties that the Company acquired control of Ameri Georgia's accounts payable, accounts receivable and business decisions as of September 1, 2015. In addition, on that date, the Company became responsible for performance of Ameri Georgia's existing contracts. Accordingly, the Company has recognized September 1, 2015 as the accounting acquisition date.

NOTE 4.            REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue primarily through the provision of consulting services. We generate revenue by providing consulting services under written service contracts with our customers. The service contracts we enter generally fall into two categories: (1) time-and-materials contracts and (2) fixed-price contracts.

We consider amounts to be earned once evidencenotice of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixeduncured material breach or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We establish billing terms at the time at which the project deliverables and milestones are agreed. Our standard payment terms are 60 days from invoice date.

When a customer enters into a time-and-materials or fixed-price (or a periodic retainer-based) contract, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with its evaluation of the deliverables in each contract. If the deliverables represent separate units of accounting, the Company then measures and allocates the consideration from the arrangement to the separate units, based on vendor specific objective evidence of the value for each deliverable.

The revenue under time and materials contracts is recognized as services are rendered and performed at contractually agreed upon rates. Revenue pursuant to fixed-price contracts is recognized under the proportional performance method of accounting. We routinely evaluate whether revenue and profitability should be recognizedimmediately in the current period. We estimate the proportional performance on our fixed-price contracts on a monthly basis utilizing hours incurred to date as a percentageevent of total estimated hours to complete the project. This method is used because reasonably dependable estimates of costsbankruptcy or insolvency. The Agreement contains, among other provisions, representation and revenue earned can be made, based on historical experiencewarranties, indemnification obligations and milestones identifiedconfidentiality provisions in any particular contract. If we do not have a sufficient basis to measure progress toward completion, revenue is recognized upon completion of performance, subject to any warranty provisions or other project management assessments as to the status of work performed.
Estimates of total project costs are continuously monitored during the term of an engagement. There are situations where the number of hours to complete projects may exceed our original estimate, as a result of an increase in project scope, unforeseen events that arise, or the inability of the client or the delivery team to fulfill their responsibilities. Accordingly, recorded revenues and costs are subject to revision throughout the life of a project based on current information and historical trends. Such revisions may result in increases or decreases to revenue and income and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the periods in which they are first identified.

If our initial estimates of the resources required or the scope of work to be performed on a contract are inaccurate, or we do not manage the project properly within the planned time period, a provision for estimated losses on incomplete projects may be made. Any known or probable losses on projects are charged to operations in the period in which such losses are determined. A formal project review process takes place quarterly, although projects are continuously evaluated throughout the period. Management reviews the estimated total direct costs on each contract to determine if the estimated amounts are accurate, and estimates are adjusted as needed in the period identified. No losses were recognized on contracts during the period ended December 31, 2016.

NOTE 5.            SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:




On April 20, 2015, our Board of Directors and the holder of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock approved the adoption of our 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the "Plan") and a grant of discretionary authority to the executive officers to implement and administer the Plan. The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock for award grants (all of which can be incentive stock options). The Plan provides equity-based compensation through the grant of cash-based awards, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards. We believe that an adequate reserve of shares available for issuance under the Plan is necessary to enable us to attract, motivate and retain key employees and directors and to provide an additional incentive for such individuals through stock ownership and other rights that promote and recognize the financial success and growth of our Company. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, we granted 762,700 options to employees. As of December 31, 2016, aggregate grants under the Plan total 1,812,700 shares of our common stock.

NOTE 6.            INCOME TAXES:

The provision for income taxes consists of the following components for the years ended December 31:

  2016  2015 
Current:      
      Federal and state $(355,243) $60,040 
      Foreign  96,357   - 
Total current provision  (258,886)  60,040 
Deferred:        
      Federal and state  (3,488,960)  (979,006)
      Foreign  -   - 
      Valuation allowance  -   790,506 
Total deferred benefit  (3,488,960)  (188,500)
         
Total provision for income taxes $(3,747,846) $(128,460)

The Company recorded a tax provision (benefit) of $(3,747,846) and $(128,460) for the periods ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The reported tax provision (benefit) for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate of 34% for all such periods. The effective tax rates reflected our combined federal and state income tax rates and the recognition of U.S. deferred tax liabilities for differences between the book and tax basis of goodwill.

We assess the reliability of our deferred tax assets and assess the need for a valuation allowance on an ongoing basis. The periodic assessment of the net carrying value of our deferred tax assets under the applicable accounting rules is highly judgmental. We are required to consider all available positive and negative evidence in evaluating the likelihood that we will be able to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets in the future. Such evidence includes scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the results of recent operations. Since this evaluation requires consideration of events that may occur some years into the future, there is significant judgment involved and our conclusion could be materially different should certain of our expectations not transpire.
We have reviewed the tax positions taken, or to be taken, in our tax returns for all tax years currently open to examination by a taxing authority. As of December 31, 2016, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits exclusive of interest and penalties was zero. We have identified no other uncertain tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the twelve months ending December 31, 2017. We remain subject to examination until the statute of limitations expires for each respective tax jurisdiction.

NOTE 10.          FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT:

We utilize the following valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
·Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
·Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and
·Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value.
A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of both December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 we had no financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis. 
.
No financial instruments were transferred into or out of Level 3 classification during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
