PART I

Item 1. Business

Company Overview

Cosmos Holdings Inc. (“us”, “we”, or the “Company”) is a multinational pharmaceutical company. The Company imports, exports and distributes pharmaceutical products of brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, and a variety of dietary and vitamin supplements through its established network. Currently, the Company operates its business through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) SkyPharm, headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece; (ii) Decahedron Ltd., head-quartered in Harlow, United Kingdom; and (iii) Cosmofarm, headquartered in Athens, Greece. Cosmofarm was acquired in 2018 and we expect this expansion has  increased our sales and profit margins as we vertically integrate our business model. The Company also has an extensive and established distribution direct and indirect network within the European Union (EU).

The Company’s cross-border pharmaceutical business serves wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies across the EU through a network of three strategic distribution centers, as well as an additional warehousing facility. Pharmaceutical manufacturers generally implement variable pricing strategies within the EU market. Identifying and evaluating price spreads between EU member states enables the Company to source brand-name pharmaceuticals from countries where ex-factory prices are comparatively low and export to countries where the same products are priced higher. The Company focuses on leveraging its growing purchasing scale and supplier relationships to secure discounts and provide pharmaceuticals at reduced prices and on continuing to drive organic growth at attractive margins for its cross-border pharmaceutical wholesale business.

The Company’s focus is primarily on branded pharmaceutical and some generic pharmaceuticals. The Company has also begun to expand into the nutraceutical segment and has already launched its own line of vitamins and food supplement products. Through the sale of pharmaceutical products, the Company has created a wide network of pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacies that we believe we can utilize to promote and sell our proprietary nutraceutical brand. There is growing demand for various food supplements. We serve this demand by offering quality products to our existing network of wholesalers and pharmacies. Pharmacies are still the key channels for distribution and sales of food supplements in the European market.

The Company regularly evaluates and undertakes strategic initiatives to expand its distribution reach, improve its profit margins, and strengthen its competitive position. In 2018, the Company entered the vitamins and dietary supplements segment and in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company posted the first sales of its own brand of nutraceuticals: Sky Premium Life. Through the December 2018 acquisition of Cosmofarm, the Company entered the full-line pharmaceutical wholesale distribution segment. Cosmofarm now serves approximately 1500 independent retail pharmacies and 40 pharmaceutical wholesalers in the greater Athens, Greece region by providing brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and dietary supplements.

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

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

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

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

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

Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on November 7, 2013, from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916) and it is subject to the provision of those Regulations and the Medicines Act 1971. This license will continue to remain in force from the date of issue by the Licensing Authority unless cancelled, suspended, revoked or varied as to the period of its validity or relinquished by the authorization holder.

Business Environment

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

Generic medicines are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of branded pharmaceutical products and are generally marketed under their generic (chemical) names rather than by brand names. Typically, a generic drug may not be marketed until the expiration of applicable patent(s) on the corresponding branded product, unless a resolution of patent litigation results in an earlier opportunity to enter the market. Generic drugs are the same as branded products in dosage form, safety, efficacy, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use, but they are sold generally at prices below those of the corresponding branded products. Generic drugs provide a cost-effective alternative for consumers, while maintaining the same high quality, efficacy, safety profile, purity and stability of the branded product.

The Company started operating within the Health Products & Food Supplements industry markets in 2018. These specific industries are highly competitive, and many factors may significantly affect the Company’s sales of its products, including, but not limited to, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control and quality assurance. Currently, the Company has added vitamins and food supplements into the portfolio of products that it wholesales to its clients. The Company has also developed and is selling its own brand of food supplements under the brand name Sky Life Premium.

Corporate Strategy

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

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

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

Sales and Marketing

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

Products & Services

Products

The current principal activity of SkyPharm is the creation, development and trading of its own proprietary branded nutraceutical products line “Sky Premium Life”. The Company’s portfolio currently includes 70 product codes including vitamins, minerals and other herbal extracts. The Company’s expectation is to reach 150 product codes by end of 2021.The principal activity of Decahedron is the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines across mainly the European Union member states. Decahedron buys from pharmacies and other wholesale pharmaceutical companies and resells these products mainly to other EU countries. We purchase excess inventories at a discount from wholesalers and export approximately 11,000 pharmaceutical product codes to EU member states capturing contract price differentials in the process. The Company only purchases stock with purchase orders at hand, limiting inventory risk. EU countries have put into force new legal frameworks and mandates that boost the parallel trade market in order to deflate healthcare pricing across the region.

Services

The principal activity of Cosmofarm is the distribution of a full range of branded pharmaceutical products, over-the-counter products, cosmetics, nursery, and dietary products to pharmacies across Greece. Cosmofarm utilizes the latest technology in pharmaceutical storage and retrieval systems to ensure the quality and accuracy of its distribution. Our facility utilizes ROWA (German pharmacy robotics) technologies to automate our procurement, inventory management, and order execution. ROWA boasts a zero-error rate, faster order picking, and automated order picking process. We stay in the forefront of quality assurance and accuracy by investing in the most innovative machinery and software available to pharmaceutical distributors. Our company supports all its customers with special product offerings, seasonal products, and all the top brands and trending products.

We believe that the entire aforementioned product life cycle would take approximately six weeks to two months, from the demand list to the payment for the shipment.

In addition, Cosmofarm distributes to a growing network of over  1,500 pharmacies and   85 wholesalers primarily located in the greater Athens area. Cosmofarm consistently invests in upgrading automation capacity. Cosmofarm operates a fully automated ROWA robotic warehouse system that ensures 0% error selection rate and accelerates the distribution process while ensuring higher cost-efficiency from local competitors.

Our subsidiaries SkyPharm and Decahedron trade over 400 different types of pharmaceutical products and Cosmofarm trades over 32,000 different types of pharmaceutical products with the principal products being the following:

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

Customers

Through our subsidiaries, SkyPharm and Decahedron, we primarily sell pharmaceutical products directly to a limited number of large wholesale drug distributors who, in turn, supply-sell the products to other wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, and governmental agencies across the European Union member states. Total revenues from the customers that accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2020 & 2019 are as follows:

No other customer generated over 10% of our total revenues.

We have a diverse customer base that includes wholesalers and retail healthcare providers. We make a significant amount of our sales to a relatively small number of pharmaceutical wholesalers. These customers represent an essential part of the distribution chain of our products. Pharmaceutical wholesalers have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation in a worldwide basis. This consolidation resulted in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business.

Geographic Markets

All of our revenues are generated from operations in the European Union or otherwise earned outside the U.S. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability and restrictive governmental actions including. Our geographical market sales distribution of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

We currently sell the products to wholesalers through our own sales force. We do not sell directly to large drug store chains or through distributors in countries where we do not have our own sales staff. As part of our sales marketing and promotion program, we use direct advertising, direct mailings, trading techniques, direct and personal contacts, exhibition of products at medical conventions and sponsor medical education symposia.

Suppliers

We obtain pharmaceuticals and over the counter pharmaceutical products directly from manufacturers and other wholesalers of pharmaceutical products, three of which set forth below are the largest suppliers of our purchases in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The loss of a supplier could adversely affect our business if alternate sources of supply are unavailable since we are committed to be the primary source of pharmaceutical products for a majority of our customers. We believe that our relationships with our suppliers are strong. The 4 largest suppliers in fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 accounted for approximately 22.40% of our purchases.

Doc Pharma S.A is considered a related party to the Company due to the fact that the CEO of Doc Pharma is the wife of Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder, who also served as a principal of Doc Pharma SA in the past.

Competition

Our pharmaceutical businesses are conducted in intensely competitive and often highly regulated markets. Many of our trading of pharmaceutical products face competition in the form of branded or generic drugs that treat similar diseases or indications. The principal forms of competition include efficacy, safety, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. The means of competition vary across product categories and business groups, demonstrating that the value of our trading products is a critical factor for success in all of our principal businesses.

Our competitors include other trading companies, smaller companies, with generic drug and consumer healthcare products. We compete with other companies that manufacture and sell products that treat diseases or indications similar to those treated by our trading pharmaceutical products.

Our competitive position in pharmaceutical sector is affected by several factors, including, among others, the amount and effectiveness of our and our competitors’ promotional resources; customer acceptance; product quality; our and our competitors’ introduction of new products, ingredients, claims, dosage forms, or other forms of innovation; and pricing, regulatory and legislative matters (such as product labeling, patient access and prescription).

The branded pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. Our products compete with products manufactured by many other companies in highly competitive markets throughout the EU territory and internationally as well. Competitors include many of the major brand name and generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both. 

In the generic pharmaceutical market, we might face intense competition from other generic drug manufacturers, brand name pharmaceutical companies, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs.

By specializing in high barrier to entry products, we endeavor to market more profitable and longer-lived products relative to commodity generic products. We believe that our competitive advantages include our integrated team-based approach to product development that combines our formulation, regulatory, legal and commercial capabilities; our ability to introduce new generic equivalents for brand-name drugs; our ability to meet customer expectations; and the breadth of our existing generic product portfolio offering.

Newly introduced generic products with limited or no other generic competition typically garner higher prices. At the expiration of the exclusivity period, other generic distributors may enter the market, resulting in a significant price decline for the drug. Consequently, the maintenance of profitable operations in generic pharmaceuticals depends, in part, on our ability to select, develop and launch new generic products in a timely and cost-efficient manner and to maintain efficient, high quality business capabilities.

Operating conditions have become more challenging under the mounting global pressures of competition, industry regulation and cost containment. We continue to take measures to evaluate, adapt and improve our organization and business practices to better meet customer and public needs. We also seek to continually enhance the organizational effectiveness of all of our functions, including efforts to accurately and ethically launch and promote our products.

Information Systems

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

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

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

Government Regulations

Government authorities in the EU and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling, post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, advertising and promotion, storage, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products. As such, our branded pharmaceutical products and the generic product candidates are subject to extensive regulation both before and after approval. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, warning letters, civil penalties, delays in approving or refusal to approve a pharmaceutical product.

Our business is mainly the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines within the EU member states. In order to be able to operate our business, we need to comply with EU regulations, as well as EU member states regulations that govern various operations of our business. The most important government regulation that applies to our business is the granting to our companies SkyPharm and Decahedron of the Authorization for Wholesale Distribution of Medicinal Products for human use. In order for this Authorization to be granted the companies need to always comply with certain Good Distribution Practices (GDP) that mainly assure the proper storage, handling, distribution and trade of the pharmaceutical products.

SkyPharm received its Authorization for the Wholesale Distribution of Medical Products for humans use on July 22, 2015, from the Hellenic Republic National Organization for Medicines in accordance with Law 1316/1983, and the inspection by the National Organization for Medicines dated July 16, 2015 in accordance with the Guidelines 2013/C31/01. The license is valid for five years and expires on July 22, 2020. Pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C 343/01), the Company is subject to fulfill the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices of medical products for human use. The Company submitted its application for renewal one month before the license expiration to the Hellenic Republic National Organization, but according to the EMA (eudragmdp.ema.europa.eu/inspections/view/wda/WDAHomePage.xhtml): “Due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19, the period of validity of MIA’s, WDA’s, GMP and GDP certificates is automatically extended until the end of 2021. On-site inspections will resume as soon as there is a consensus that the period of the public health crisis has passed. The clarifying remark section of individual MIA’s, WDA’s, GMP and GDP certificates will indicate any exceptions. Competent authorities reserve the right to inspect a manufacturing site should the need arise.” Therefore, the Company is eligible to continue its operations until the end of 2021.

Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on November 7, 2013, from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916) and it is subject to the provisions of those Regulations and the Medicines Act 1971. This License will continue to remain in force from the date of issue by the Licensing Authority unless cancelled, suspended, revoked or varied as to the period of its validity or relinquished by the authorization holder.

Our subsidiary, SkyPharm, is ISO 9001 certified for a management system for the trade and distribution of pharmaceuticals. As part of the certification process by the International Organization for Standardization, we need to be compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) adopted by the European Union in May 2018. GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of persons in the EU by a controller or processor neither of which apply to SkyPharm.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses and Proprietary Property

We have developed or acquired various proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, wholesale licenses, processes, software, and other intellectual property that are used either to facilitate the conduct of our business or that are made available as products or services to customers.

At present, besides the above licenses we do not have any intellectual property or other licenses, including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions, and royalty agreements or other proprietary interests.

We rely on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other parties to protect, among other things, trade secrets and other proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop equivalent proprietary information or that other third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and other intellectual property

International Cannabis Corp. (f/k/a Kaneh Bosm Biotechnology Inc.) - Cannabis

Distribution and Equity Agreement

On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement”) with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Marathon was formed to be a global supplier of Cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD) and/or any Cannabis Extract products, extracts, ancillaries and derivatives (collectively, the “Products”). The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. The Company has no present intention to distribute any Products under this Agreement in the United States or otherwise participate in cannabis operations in the United States. The Company intends to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market.

The Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement is to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five (5) years of the agreement. The transaction closed on May 22, 2018 after the due diligence period, following which the Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in Common Shares of the Company if it fails to meet certain performance milestones. The Company is entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000. The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors.

Share Exchange Agreements

On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Marathon, Kaneh Bosm Biotechnology Inc. (n/k/a International Cannabis Corp. (OTC: KNHBF)) and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company agreed to transfer 2.5 million shares in Marathon to KBB, a Company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a public reporting issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange, in exchange for 5 million shares of KBB. On July 16, 2018, the Company completed a new Share Exchange Agreement (the “New SEA”) by and among Marathon, KBB, and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock. Pursuant to the terms of the New SEA, the Company transferred its remaining one-half interest (2.5 million shares) in Marathon to KBB. The Company received an additional five million shares of KBB. Completion of the New SEA by the Company was subject to satisfaction of various conditions precedent all of which were satisfied. The ten million shares of KBB owned by the Company constituted approximately 7% of the 141,219,108 shares of capital stock of KBB then issued and outstanding. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over KBB.

In order to achieve our strategic objectives, we have, and will remain, focused on hiring and retaining a highly skilled management team that has extensive experience and specific skill sets relating to the sales, selection, development and commercialization of pharmaceutical products. We intend to continue our efforts to build and expand this team as we grow our business. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to retain any additional persons.

Product Insurance

We have insurance in place for our warehouses and the products in stock against any damage or theft, but we do not insure our products after the sale, since we are working under an Ex-works policy, and thus our clients are responsible for the transportation and the insurance of the products against any damage. In the future, we will continue to reevaluate our decision and may purchase product liability insurance to cover some of or all of our product liability risk.

Research and Development Expenditures

The Company entered into a Research & Development agreement with Doc Pharma S.A. Doc Pharma S.A is considered a related party to the Company due to the fact that the CEO of Doc Pharma is the wife of Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder, who also served as a principal of Doc Pharma SA in the past. Doc Pharma is a pharmaceutical manufacturer with production facilities in Athens, Greece, certified under Good Manufacturer Practices (GMP). The agreement outlines the development and contract manufacturing of Cosmos Holdings’ complete line of Nutraceutical Products. Under the agreement, Doc Pharma S.A. will provide its services to research, develop formulation, complete product registration, design product packaging, and provide market-ready products. The first sales of our own brand of nutraceuticals were posted in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Subsidiaries

As of year-end, the Company’s subsidiaries were SkyPharm S.A. based in Greece, Cosmofarm Ltd based in Greece, and Decahedron Ltd based in the United Kingdom.

Market Information

Our common stock has been quoted through various over-the-counter systems at various times since 2009. Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC QX under the symbol “COSM,” but there is a limited public trading market for our common stock. The liquidity of our shares on the OTC QX is limited and prices quoted may not be a reliable indication of the value of our common stock. The quotations do not reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Holders of Our Common Stock

As of December 31, 2020, we had 13,225,387 shares of our common stock issued and 12,860,059 shares outstanding, held by approximately 176 stockholders of record. The number of record holders does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends to date and does not anticipate or contemplate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Our accumulated deficit currently limits our ability to pay dividends.

Penny Stock

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

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

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

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

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

We do not have any equity compensation plans.

Presentation of Information

As used in this prospectus, the terms “we,” “us” “our” and the “Company” mean Cosmos Holdings Inc. unless the context requires otherwise. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our audited (and unaudited) financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. All dollar amounts in this registration statement refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

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

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

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

On November 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with certain institutional investors (the “Buyers”) with which it had no prior relationship, pursuant to which the Company issued for a purchase price of $3,000,000, $3,350,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Convertible Notes (the “Notes”) to the Buyers, convertible into 670,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at $5.00 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 536,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $7.50 per share (the “Warrants”.)

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

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

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

Cosmofarm’s primary activity as a pharmaceutical wholesaler is the distribution of pharmaceuticals (mainly prescription), OTC products and nutraceuticals to a growing network of over 320 pharmacies and 14 wholesalers primarily located in the greater Athens, Greece region. To boost cost-efficiency and better facilitate its growing operations, the Company t relocated to a larger building in March 2019. Cosmofarm also seeks to expand its current operations automation investments by acquiring fully-integrated order management systems and additional robotic logistics over equipment.

The Effects of COVID-19 on Our 2020 Operations

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on January 30, 2020. Since the outbreak in China in December 2019, COVID-19 has expanded its impact to Europe, where all of our operations reside as well as our employees, suppliers and customers.  To date, our operations have been affected by the following adverse risks:

Adverse Risks

·        Drug shortages due to ban of exports 

·        Problems/restrictions in supply chain 

·        Logistics delays 

·        Restrictions on employees’ ability to work 

·        Liquidity issues (AR/AP) – payment delays and new government regulations for freezing payment terms 

·        National or EU long lasting recession

Subsequent to year-end, management has identified opportunities as listed below, that could balance, at least in part, the adverse effects of COVID-19 during the fiscal year-end 2020. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur prior to a vaccine and treatment becoming effective.

Opportunities

·        Sales increase of OTC products branded 

·        Sales increase of food supplements (Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, multivitamins) 

·        Sales increase of antibacterial products and medicine masks 

·        Obtain exclusive distribution rights for detection test kits for COVID-19 

·        Governmental financing incentives related to liquidity 

·        VAT incentives (in the UK the VAT of imports is waived on medical products)

Management’s Expectations

Management believes that there could be a positive long-term outcome, which could result in an increase in sales of OTC branded products, food supplements, antibacterial products and medical masks. However, there is no guarantee of such results. Therefore, we will increase R&D as we are aiming to innovate and create new products in order to help combat against COVID-19. We have adapted our strategy in response to COVID-19 and will continue to do so, since we are expecting the impact of COVID-19 to continue for the next 18-24 months.

What Effect Will COVID-19 Have on the Company’s Disclosure Controls

Management does not believe COVID-19 will have a significant effect on our disclosure controls as there have been no changes to date. Our operations have continued at a normal pace, at least 90% of our staff continue to work on site and those staff who are working remotely have no impact on our disclosure controls.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2020 versus December 31, 2019

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had net income of $820,786 on revenue of $55,406,337, versus a net loss of $3,298,965 on revenue of $39,676,385, for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Revenue

Revenue during the Company’s twelve-month period ended December 31, 2020, increased by 40% as compared to revenues in the period ended December 31, 2019. This increase is mainly because of the increase of sales and by expanding the portfolio of our own branded products Sky Life Premium, which continued the expansion of point sales even more aggressively during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Our future revenue growth will continue to be affected by various factors such as industry growth trends, including drug utilization, the introduction of new innovative brand therapies, the likely increase in the number of generic drugs that will be available over the next few years as a result of the expiration of certain drug patents held by brand-name pharmaceutical manufacturers and the rate of conversion from brand products to those generic drugs, price increases and price deflation, general economic conditions in the member states of European Union, competition within the industry, customer consolidation, changes in pharmaceutical manufacturer pricing and distribution policies and practices, increased downward pressure on government and other third party reimbursement rates to our customers, and changes in government rules and regulations.

Cost of Goods Sold

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, we had direct costs of goods sold of $47,345,957 associated to cost of goods sold versus $36,014,116 from the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Cost of goods sold year over year increased by 31% in 2020 as compared to 2019 due directly to the increase in revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2020 was $8,060,380 compared with the $3,662,269 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Gross profit increased by $4,398,111 or 120% from the prior fiscal year. The increase in the gross profit was primarily due to the increase of Company’s main revenue source of trading, sourcing and distribution of pharmaceutical products, as well as the increase in sales of our own brand of nutraceuticals; SkyPremium Life.

Operating Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had general and administrative costs of $5,346,087, sales and marketing expenses of $763,170 and depreciation and amortization expense of $397,595 for a net operating profit of $2,835,777. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we had general and administrative costs of $3,523,450, depreciation and amortization expense of $394,628, for a net operating loss of $255,809.

The approximate 36% increase in operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2020, versus the prior year ended, is primarily due to sales and marketing expenses for launching our own branded nutraceuticals. Also, there is an increase of the payroll due to new Salesforce team and third-party services.

Interest Expenses

For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had interest expense of $2,761,004 and non-cash interest expenses of $34,106 related to the fair value of warrants for services, extinguishment of debt and the amortization of debt discount versus the year ending December 31, 2019 where we had interest expense of $1,412,465, non-cash interest expenses of $320,205 related to the fair value of warrants for services, extinguishment of debt and the amortization of debt discount and $264 of interest related to loans from related parties.

Unrealized Foreign Currency Losses

Additionally, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation income of $875,235 for the year ended December 31, 2020 such that our net comprehensive income for the period was $1,692,021 versus the unrealized foreign currency loss of $49,167 such that our net comprehensive loss for the period was $3,348,132 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The increase relates to the increase in intercompany loans from the parent related to capital raises and the volatility/fluctuation from the prior year of the Euro to USD exchange.

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had net income of $820,786, net cash used in operations of $11,501,718, working capital of $5,979,870 and had an accumulated deficit of $18,750,824 as of December 31, 2020. During the fiscal year, the Company has undergone a strategic review process to help find a definitive solution to the Company’s accumulated deficit constraints. Options under consideration in the strategic review process include, but are not limited to, securing new debt, exchange debt for equity, restructuring current debt facilities from short term into long-term making the proper actions for new fund raising. The Company has adequate cash from operations in order to cover its operating costs and to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months due to Covid-19 pandemic.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $5,979,870 versus a working capital deficit of $7,062,250 as of December 31, 2019. This increase in the working capital surplus is primarily attributed to the Company’s operating profit in the year ending as of December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company had net cash of $628,395 versus $38,537 as of December 31, 2019. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $11,501,718 versus $4,788,842 net cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The Company has devoted substantially all of its cash resources to apply its investment program to expand through organic business growth and, where appropriate, the execution on selective company and license acquisitions, and incurred significant general and administrative expenses to enable it to finance and grow its business and operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, there was $117,744 net cash used in investing activities versus $588,929 used in during the year ended December 31, 2019. In the year ending December 31, 2020 this was due to the purchase of fixed assets. In the year ending December 31, 2019, this was due to proceeds from the sale of investments offset by the purchase of fixed assets.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, there was $12,460,541 of net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities versus $3,587,330 provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2019.

We believe that our current cash in our bank account and working capital as of December 31, 2020 will satisfy our estimated operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, the Company will require additional financing in fiscal year 2021 in order to continue at its expected level of operations and potential acquisitions. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, it may be forced to curtail its development activities.

We anticipate using cash in our bank account as of December 31, 2020, cash generated from the operations of the Company and its operating subsidiaries and from debt or equity financing, or from loans from management, to the extent that funds are available to do so to conduct our business in the upcoming year. Management is not obligated to provide these or any other funds.

Debt Obligations

January 27, 2020 Senior Promissory Note

On January 27, 2020, the Company executed a Senior Promissory Note (the “January Note”) in the principal amount of $250,000 payable to an unaffiliated third-party lender who had previously loaned the Company $2,500,000. The January Note bears interest at the rate of five (5%) percent per annum, paid quarterly in arrears. The January Note matures on May 15, 2020 unless in default. The Company may prepay the January Note within the first six (6) months by payment of unpaid interest for the first six (6) months and, after six (6) months, with a two (2%) percent ($5,000) premium. On February 5, 2021 the Company converted the entire outstanding balance into shares of the Company’s common stock.

February 25, 2020 Senior Promissory Note

On February 25, 2020, the Company executed a Senior Promissory Note (the “February Note”) in the principal amount of $1,000,000 payable to an unaffiliated third-party lender. The February Note bears interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum, paid quarterly in arrears. The February Note matured on April 30, 2020 unless in default. The Company repaid the principal balance of this note on July 10, 2020 in full.

May 15, 2019 Senior Convertible Note

On May 15, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”). Upon the closing of this financing, on May 17, 2019, the Company issued for a purchase price of $1,500,000 in principal amount a Senior Convertible Note (the “May 2019 Note”) to the Buyer.

The May 2019 Note provides that the Company will repay the principal amount of the May 2019 Note on the ten (10) month anniversary date of the date of issue. The maturity date was amended on March 23, 2020 to September 16, 2020 and further amended on September 23, 2020 to June 16, 2021. Interest at the rate of nineteen (19%) percent per annum shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month.

The May 2019 Note is convertible at any time by the Holder into 250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the rate of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyer may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company considered the need for the conversion feature to be bifurcated under ASC 815 and determined that it does not meet the requirements. Additionally, the Company determined the effective conversion rate under ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and determined that the instrument is out of the money and no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.

The May 2019 Note is senior in right of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the May 2019 Note), including $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing senior loan agreement, plus defined amounts of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

The May 2019 Note includes customary Events of Default and provides that the Buyer may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether the Event of Default has been cured) all or a portion of the Note at a redemption premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent, multiplied by the greater of the conversion rate and the then current market price. The Buyer may also require redemption of the May 2019 Note upon a Change of Control (as defined) at a premium of one hundred twenty-five (125%) percent. The Company has the right to redeem the May 2019 Note at any time, in whole or in part, in cash at a price equal to 120% of the then outstanding conversion amount.

Conversion of the May 2019 Note is subject to a blocker provision which prevents any holder from converting the May 2019 Note into shares of common stock if its beneficial ownership of the common stock would exceed 9.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

Amendment of May 15, 2019 Senior Convertible Note

On March 23, 2020, the Company entered into a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the “Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Buyer”). The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with the Buyer on May 15, 2019, pursuant to which the Company issued a Convertible Note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000. The Note was due on or before March 15, 2020 and was not paid (the “Existing Default”). The Note provides that upon an Event of Default, the Buyer may, among other things, require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Note at a redemption premium of 120%, multiplied by the product of the conversion rate ($6.00per share) and the then current market price.

The Agreement provides that the Buyer will (a) forbear (i) from taking any action with respect to the Existing Default and (ii) from issuing any demand for redemption of the Note on the basis of the Existing Default until the earlier of: (1): (September 16, 2020 (or, if earlier, such date when all amounts outstanding under the Note shall be paid in full or converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance therewith) and (2) the time of any breach by the Company of the Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not an Existing Default (the “Forbearance Expiration Date), (b)during the Forbearance Period waive the prepayment premium to any Company Optional Redemption, and (c) during the Forbearance Period, waive the repayment in full of the Note other than the Required Payments (as defined) prior to September 16, 2020.

Plan of Operation in the Next Twelve Months

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

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

The Company is growing its business through organic growth by expanding the portfolio of own branded products and the penetration into new geographical market and channels that would add value to the Company’s business and for its Shareholders. This growth is expected to be driven by entering into new markets and countries where the Company can sell and distribute a more profitable series of pharmaceutical products, over-the-counter medicines, and nutraceuticals. It is committed to capitalizing on sales growth opportunities by expanding its customer baseline across the European market, as well as entering markets outside the European Union.

The Company is also committed to pursuing various forms of business development; this can include trading, alliances, licenses, joint ventures, dispositions and acquisitions. Moreover, it hopes to continue to build on its portfolio of pharmaceutical products and expand its OTC and nutraceutical product portfolio. Thus, the Company is developing a sound sales distribution network specializing in food supplement products.

The Company’s main objective is expanding the business operations of its subsidiaries by concentrating its efforts on becoming an international pharmaceutical Company. The Company views its business development activity as an enabler of its strategies, and it seeks to generate earnings growth and enhance shareholder value by pursuing a disciplined, strategic, and financial approach to evaluating business development opportunities. Under these principles the Company assesses businesses and assets as part of its regular, ongoing portfolio review process and continues to consider trading development activities for its businesses.

The Company, in the following twelve months, intends to substantially grow its business operations within EU countries and to other countries in the nutraceutical and the OTC and generic pharmaceutical products market. These industries are highly competitive and may significantly affect the Company’s sales of these products, including, but not limited to, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control, and quality assurance.

In addition, the Company seeks to pursue gross profit margin efficiency, by focusing on new revenue streams and sales channels that would positively affect gross profits, such as e-commerce, specialized sales representatives and retail companies. The Company’s objective is the optimization of operating expenses across all entities without compromising the quality of the Company’s services and products.

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

In addition to expanding the its product portfolio, the Company also plans to evaluate offering its products and services to different geographical markets. It is currently focused on its customers throughout the EU. The Company plans on expanding its geographical reach to new areas outside of the EU market, although it currently has no binding agreements, commitments or contracts in any of these geographical markets. Some of the methods the Company intends to use to accomplish this are: promoting its brand and marketing its products and services through the Internet to new geographic areas, creating strategic relationships with companies in different geographical regions. The Company anticipates that it will spend approximately $100,000 evaluating the different methods and regions to which it plans to expand. This cost is made up of primarily marketing and promotional fees as well as related development expenses. The Company assesses the foreseeable development of the Company as being positive. It expects to continue growing through expansion into adjacent products, product categories and channels, as well as through entry into new geographic markets. The Company evaluates potential licensed product acquisition targets based on whether they have the capacity to deliver a return on invested capital.

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

The Company will evaluate and, where appropriate, execute on opportunities to expand its network of pharmacies and products in areas that it believes will offer above average growth characteristics and attractive margins. In particular, it is looking to continue to enhance its product lines by acquiring or licensing rights to additional products and regularly evaluate selective acquisition and license opportunities. In addition, it remains committed to strategic research and development across each business unit with a particular focus on assets with inherently lower risk profiles and clearly defined governmental regulatory pathways.

While the Company intends to pursue these milestones, there may be circumstances where, for valid business reasons or due to factors beyond the control of the Company (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), a re-allocation of efforts may be necessary or advisable. Although the Company does not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will cause material delays in the timelines or estimates set out above, due to the evolving nature of COVID-19 and its impacts, these timelines and estimates may require adjustment in the future.

The Company intends to spend the funds available to it in debt repayment, intangible assets acquisitions, R&D, sales and marketing expenses. Due to the uncertain nature of the industry in which the Company will operate, projects may be frequently reviewed and reassessed. Accordingly, while it is currently intended by management that the available funds will be expended as set forth above, actual expenditures may in fact differ from these amounts and allocations. 

Significant Equipment

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

Employees

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2020, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net (loss) earnings.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes, ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom of England. The corporate income tax rate in Greece is 24%, (tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013 (prior to 2013, losses were carried forward indefinitely) and 19% in the United Kingdom of England. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. 

We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position in our financial statements if, in management’s judgment, the position is not more-likely-then-not sustainable upon audit based on the position’s technical merits. This involves the identification of potential uncertain tax positions, the evaluation of applicable tax laws and an assessment of whether a liability for an uncertain tax position is necessary. We operate and are subject to audit in multiple taxing jurisdictions.

We record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of interest and other expense, respectively.

Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of the U.S. net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in our parent, Cosmos Holdings Inc., which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the United Kingdom of England. The income tax assets and liabilities are not able to be netted. We therefore reserve the income tax assets applicable to the United States, but recognize the income tax liabilities in Greece and the United Kingdom of England. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06 (“ASU 2020-06”) “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity.” ASU 2020-06 will simplify the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Limiting the accounting models will result in fewer embedded conversion features being separately recognized from the host contract as compared with current GAAP. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. ASU 2020-06 also amends the guidance for the derivatives scope exception for contracts in an entity’s own equity to reduce form-over-substance-based accounting conclusions. ASU 2020-06 will be effective January 1, 2024, for the Company. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than January 1, 2021, including interim periods within that year. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the consolidated financial statements. 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of

Cosmos Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cosmos Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows, for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").  In our opinion, the consolidated 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 their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern Matter

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's consolidated financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

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

Inventory Valuation — Refer to Note 1 to the Financial Statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company computes inventory using the weighted average method and consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e., packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in.  The Company assesses inventory at each reporting date in order to assert that it is recorded at net realizable value, giving consideration to, among other factors: whether the product is valued at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value; and the estimation of excess, expired or obsolete inventory.  Most of the Company’s inventory provisions are based on the Company’s inventory levels and forecasted demand as well as physical condition, expiration date and current market conditions.  Most of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met. 

Significant judgment is exercised by the Company to determine inventory carrying value adjustments, specifically the provisions for excess or obsolete inventories, and includes the following:

Given these factors and assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions, the related audit effort to evaluate management’s inventory valuation adjustments was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment. 

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s inventory valuation methodology included the following:

COSMOS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Cosmos Holdings, Inc. is an international pharmaceutical wholesaler. The Company imports, exports and distributes brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter (“OTC”) medicines, a variety of vitamins, and dietary supplements. Through December 31, 2020, we operated our business through three wholly owned subsidiaries: (i) SkyPharm S.A. (“SkyPharm”), headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece; (ii) Decahedron Ltd. (“Decahedron”), headquartered in Harlow, United Kingdom (“UK”); and (iii) Cosmofarm Ltd. (“Cosmofarm”), headquartered in Athens, Greece. Our business is primarily comprised of cross-border sales of brand-name pharmaceutical products in the European Union (“EU”). Our cross-border pharmaceutical wholesale business serves wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies across the EU through a network of three strategic distribution centers, as well as an additional warehousing facility. Pharmaceutical manufacturers generally implement variable pricing strategies within the EU market. Identifying and evaluating price spreads between EU member states enables us to source brand-name pharmaceuticals from countries where ex-factory prices are comparatively low and export to countries where the same products are priced higher. We remain focused on leveraging our growing purchasing scale and supplier relationships to secure discounts and provide pharmaceuticals at reduced prices and continuing to drive organic growth at attractive margins for our cross-border pharmaceutical wholesale business.

We regularly evaluate and undertake strategic initiatives to expand our distribution reach, improve our profit margins, and strengthen our competitive position. In 2018, we entered the vitamins and dietary supplements segment and in the fourth quarter of 2018 we posted the first sales of our own brand of nutraceuticals; SkyPremium Life. Through the December 2018 acquisition of Cosmofarm, we entered the full-line pharmaceutical wholesale distribution segment. Cosmofarm now serves approximately 370 independent retail pharmacies and 40 pharmaceutical wholesalers in the greater Athens region by providing a reliable supply of brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, OTC medicines, vitamins, and dietary supplements. We invest in technology to enhance safety, distribution and warehousing efficiency and reliability. For example, Cosmofarm operates two fully automated ROWA, a German robotic warehouse system, that ensure 0% error selection rate, accelerate order fulfillment, and yield higher cost-efficiency in our Athens distribution center.

We make use of analytics and customer feedback from our EU-wide network of wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies to identify and evaluate which nutraceutical product codes to develop to add to our SkyPremium Life portfolio. We intend to continue to bring SkyPremium Life products to market primarily through our existing network of over 160 pharmaceutical wholesale clients and vendors and approximately 370 independent retail pharmacies in the EU. There is growing demand for vitamins and food supplements and we are committed to developing quality products and creating enhanced customer value.

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

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

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

On July 22, 2015, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and more specifically the National Organization for Medicines granted SkyPharm a license for the wholesale of pharmaceutical products for human use. The license is valid for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C343/01).

Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on November 7, 2013, from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916) and it is subject to the provision of those Regulations and the Medicines Act 1971. This license will continue to remain in force from the date of issue by the Licensing Authority unless cancelled, suspended, revoked or varied as to the period of its validity or relinquished by the authorization holder.

On February 1, 2019, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and the National Organization for Medicines extended the validity of Cosmofarm’s license for the wholesale of pharmaceutical products for human use for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C 343/01).

COSMOS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

Corporate History and Structure

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

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

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

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

On November 21, 2017, the Company effected a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split whereby the Company decreased, by a ratio of one-for-ten (1:10) the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

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

Going Concern

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had revenue of $55,406,337, net income of $820,786 and net cash used in operations of $11,501,718. Additionally, as of December 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of $5,979,870, an accumulated deficit of $18,750,824, and stockholders’ deficit of $4,161,013. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

During the fiscal year, the Company has undergone strategic review processes to help find a definitive solution to the Company's accumulated deficit constraints. Options under consideration in the strategic review process include, but are not limited to, securing new debt, exchange debt to equity, restructuring current debt facilities from short term to long term and making the proper actions for new fund raising.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has adequate cash from operations in order to cover its operating costs and to continue at a going concern basis. Nevertheless, the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by sale of equity and/or debt. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described herein and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other comprehensive income (loss). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of EUR or GBP to USD after the balance sheet date.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for all periods presented includes only foreign currency translation gains (losses).

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the consolidated results of operations as incurred.
