Background

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on May 15, 2014. On November 7, 2016, we changed our name from Makkanotti Group Corp. to CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. On September 27, 2019, the Company reincorporated from the State of Nevada to the State of Delaware.

OnIn October 2, 2020, the Company completed its acquisition of Sera Labs, a Delaware corporation pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of September 23, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Cure Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Sera Labs and Nancy Duitch, in her capacity as the security holders representative. The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of Sera Labs by the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Sera Labs, with Sera Labs surviving as a ~~wholly owned~~wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Recent Development

On July 22, 2022, CURE Pharmaceutical entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with TF Tech Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer purchased certain assets of CURE Pharmaceutical (the “Asset Sale”), including certain patents which the Company assigned to CURE Pharmaceutical prior to the closing of the Asset Sale.

The total consideration paid to CURE Pharmaceutical in connection with the Asset Sale was $20,000,000, which consisted of (i) the cancellation of indebtedness owed by CURE Pharmaceutical to the Buyer in an amount equal to $4,150,000, (ii) $2,000,000 payable in the form of a secured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”), and (iii) the remainder in cash (the “Closing Cash Consideration”). The Closing Cash Consideration was reduced by approximately (i) $41,000 in assumed liabilities transferred to Buyer at Closing.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not contain all information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present the financial position of the Company as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year or any future ~~period.~~period, given the recent completion of the Asset Sale. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal ~~period~~year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on April 1, ~~2022.~~2022 (our “2021 Annual Report”).

~~Table of Contents~~

Principle of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CPHC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CURE Pharmaceutical, CHI, and Sera Labs, collectively referred to as (“CURE”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The development and production of the Company’s branded health, wellness, and beauty products in both the wellness and pharmaceutical industries represents the principal operations of the Company. Business acquisitions are included in the ~~Company’s~~unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the acquisition.

Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) standard on going concern, Accounting Standard Update, or ASU No. 2014-15, ~~The~~the Company assesses going concern uncertainty in its condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if it has sufficient cash, cash equivalents and working capital on hand, including marketable equity securities, and any available borrowings on loans, to operate for a period of at least one year from the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which is referred to as the “look-forward period” as defined by ASU No. 2014-15. As part of this assessment, based on conditions that are known and reasonably knowable to ~~The~~the Company, it will consider various scenarios, forecasts, projections, estimates and will make certain key assumptions, including the timing and nature of projected cash expenditures or programs, and its ability to delay or curtail expenditures or programs, if necessary, among other factors. Based on this assessment, as necessary or applicable, ~~The~~the Company makes certain assumptions around implementing curtailments or delays in the nature and timing of programs and expenditures to the extent ~~The~~the Company deems probable those implementations can be achieved and it has the proper authority to execute them within the look-forward period in accordance with ASU No. 2014-15.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that wethe Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. ~~At March 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $99.6 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $22.8 million. Our operating activities consume~~Accordingly, the majority of our cash resources. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future, as we execute our commercialization and development plans and strategic and business development initiatives.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $0.5 million of cash on hand. We have previously funded, and intend to continue funding, our losses primarily through the issuance of common stock and/or promissory notes, combined with or without warrants, and cash generated from our product sales and research and development and license agreements. We are currently discussing various financing alternatives with potential investors, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to us or will be enough to fully sustain operations. We believe the funds available through these potential financings will be sufficient to meet the Company’s working capital requirements during the coming year. If we are unable to raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to extend payables, reduce expenditures, or scale back our business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $0.05 million of cash on hand, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $107.22 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.14 million. Our operating activities consume the majority of our cash resources. We anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as we execute our commercialization and development plans and strategic and business development initiatives.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, CURE Pharmaceutical entered into the APA pursuant to which Buyer purchased certain assets. The total consideration paid to CURE Pharmaceutical in connection with the Asset Sale was $20,000,000, which consisted of (i) the cancellation of indebtedness owed by Cure Pharmaceutical to the Buyer in an amount equal to $4,150,000, (ii) $2,000,000 payable pursuant to the Promissory Note, and (iii) the remainder in cash. The completion of the Asset Sale has had a positive impact on the Company’s liquidity position. However, the Company may need to complete additional equity or debt financings to execute its business plans and strategies. See Note 22 – Subsequent Events for additional information.

We have previously funded our operating losses primarily through the issuance of common stock and/or promissory notes and cash generated from our product sales and research and development and license agreements. We anticipate that we will incur decreased operating losses and negative cash flows from operations as we execute our commercialization and development plans and strategic and business development initiatives and with the elimination of overhead and operating expenses related to the Cure Pharmaceutical business that have been discontinued in connection with the Asset Sale.

These factors no longer raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is now dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s consolidated financial statements to enhance comparability with the current year’s consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported net loss.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon historical experience, existing and known circumstances, authoritative accounting pronouncements, and other factors that management believes to be reasonable. In addition, the Company has considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as certain macroeconomic factors, including inflation, rising interest rates, and recessionary pressures, on its business and operations. Although the full impact of these factors are unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company believes it has made appropriate accounting estimates and assumptions based on the facts and circumstances available as of the reporting date.

Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, depreciative and amortization useful lives, assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the contingent share consideration, stock based compensation, beneficial conversion features, warrant values, deferred taxes and the assumptions used to calculate derivative liabilities and fair values of the purchase price allocations and convertible promissory notes. Actual results could differ materially from such estimates under different assumptions or circumstances.

~~Table of Contents~~

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had no cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in accounts that at times may be in excess of the federally insured limit of $250,000 per bank. The Company minimizes this risk by placing its cash deposits with major financial institutions. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 ~~had $0.3 million in excess of the federal insurance limit. At~~and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have cash in excess of the federal insurance limit.

Investment in Associates

The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 325-20, Cost Method Investments (“ASC 325-20”), to account for its ownership interest in noncontrolled entities. Under ASC 325-20, equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values (i.e., non-marketable equity securities) and are not required to be accounted for under the equity method are typically carried at cost (i.e., cost method investments). Investments of this nature are initially recorded at cost. Income is recorded for dividends received that are distributed from net accumulated earnings of the noncontrolled entity subsequent to the date of investment. Dividends received in excess of earnings subsequent to the date of investment are considered a return of investment and are recorded as reductions in the cost of the investment. Investments are written down only when there is clear evidence that a decline in value that is other than temporary has occurred.

From November 1, 2019 to February ~~13,~~ 2020, the Company purchased Convertible Loans (“Loans”) from ~~Releaf~~ReLeaf Europe BVB.V. (“~~Releaf”~~ReLeaf”) in the amount of $0.5 ~~million. Releaf~~million which shall ~~accrue~~bear interest ~~on the Loans~~ at 6% per annum and shall become due and payable to the Company at the earlier of the conversion date, the date when the Loans are repaid or at the maturity date of October 31, 2021 (“Maturity Date”). In the event of ~~a request for~~ conversion by the Company, ~~(“Request for Conversion”) or at the end of the Maturity Date,~~ the outstanding amount of the Loans and any unpaid accrued interest shall be converted into shares of ~~Releaf~~ReLeaf (“Shares”) based on a price per share on a post money valuation of $10.9 million. In the event Releaf completes a financing round totaling at least $2 million of debt and/or equity (“Qualified Financing”), the outstanding amount of the Loan Agreement and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert at a price per share paid by the investors in connection with the Qualified Financing less a discount of 20% on the subscription price. In addition, both the Company and Releaf agree in the event the pre-money valuation of the Qualified Financing is higher than $15 million, the conversion shall be calculated with a cap of pre-money valuation of $14.5 million. As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an investment in ReLeaf using the cost method of accounting ~~in Releaf~~ and recorded accrued interest relating to these Loans as well as a reserve on the investment. As of the filing date of this ~~report,~~Quarterly Report, the Company has ~~not extended or received~~agreed to convert the Loans and receive Shares as per the ~~term~~Loan terms. The issuance of such shares to the ~~agreement, but are in discussions with Releaf regarding the terms of conversion of the Loans.~~Company is currently pending.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company ~~closely monitors~~establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable ~~balances~~based on the age of outstanding invoices and ~~estimates~~management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for credit losses. These estimates are based on historical collection experience and other factors, including those related to current market conditions and events. The Company’s allowances for accounts receivable have not historically been material.doubtful accounts. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 management determined that an allowance of $0.08 million ~~and $0.08 million, respectively, were~~was necessary.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (“NRV”). NRV is the amount by which the estimated selling price of the product exceeds the sum of any additional costs expected to be incurred on the sale of such product in the ordinary course of business. The Company determines the cost of its inventory, which includes amounts related to materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead, on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period. In order to state the inventory at the lower of cost or NRV, we maintain reserves against individual stocking units. Inventory reserves, once established, are not reversed until the related inventories have been sold or scrapped. If future demand or market conditions are less favorable than our projections, a write-down of inventory may be required, and would be reflected in cost of product revenues sold in the period the revision is made.

Goodwill and intangible assets

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) projects acquired in a business combination that are not complete as of the acquisition date are capitalized and accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the related research and development efforts. Upon successful completion of the project, the capitalized amount is amortized over its estimated useful life. If a project is abandoned, all remaining capitalized amounts are written off immediately. The Company considers various factors and risks for potential impairment of IPR&D assets, including the current legal and regulatory environment and the competitive landscape. Adverse clinical trial results, or significant delays, or the inability to bring a product to market and the introduction or advancement of competitors’ products could result in partial or full impairment of the related intangible assets. Consequently, the eventual realized value of the IPR&D project may vary from its fair value at the date of acquisition, and IPR&D impairment charges may occur in future periods. During the period between completion or abandonment, the IPR&D assets will not be amortized but will be tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if the Company becomes aware of any events occurring or changes in circumstances that would indicate a reduction in the fair value of the IPR&D projects below their respective carrying ~~amounts (see Note 8).~~amounts.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill, similar to IPR&D, is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually, or if circumstances indicate its value may no longer be recoverable. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the Company’s business. Based on the qualitative assessment, if it is determined that the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount, the fair value of a reporting unit will be calculated and compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge will be recognized for the amount that the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The Company operates in two segments as result of the Sera Labs, Inc., acquisition in October 2020 and considered to be the two reporting units and, therefore, goodwill is tested for impairment at the segment level.

The Company does not have intangible assets with indefinite useful lives other than goodwill ~~Trademark,~~ and trademark. Impairment loss on goodwill included in the ~~acquired IPR&D discussed in Note 19. As of March 31, 2022 the Company recorded a $2.7~~loss from disposal group amounted to $2.00 million ~~impairment of goodwill relating to the Cure Pharmaceutical reporting unit. Based on the continuing decline of our stock price~~ and ~~market capitalization as well as not meeting our revenue projections~~$4.73 million for the ~~Cure Pharmaceutical reporting unit, we determined that~~three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and nil for the fair value of goodwill is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount. The Company determined the amount of impairment to record was based on the income approach – discounted cash flow method. As of December 31,three and six months ended June 30 2021, ~~there has been no impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.~~respectively.

Business Combinations

The results of businesses acquired in a business combination are included in the ~~Company’s~~unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. Purchase accounting results in assets and liabilities of an acquired business being recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess consideration over the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

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

Indicators of impairment include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in our use of the assets or in our business strategy, loss of or changes in customer relationships and significant negative industry or economic trends. When indications of impairment arise for a particular asset or group of assets, we assess the future recoverability of the carrying value of the asset (or asset group) based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis. If carrying value exceeds projected, net, undiscounted cash flows, an additional analysis is performed to determine the fair value of the asset (or asset group), typically a discounted cashflow analysis, and an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of carrying value over fair value. ~~There was no impairment~~Impairment loss on ~~our long-lived assets during~~other intangibles amounted to $4.62 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, and ~~2021.~~nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Contingent consideration liabilities

Certain of the Company’s asset and business acquisitions involve the potential for future payment of consideration to third-parties and former selling ~~shareholders~~stockholders in amounts determined upon attainment of revenue milestones, from product sales, as applicable. The fair value of such liabilities is determined using unobservable inputs. These inputs include the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows and the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the cash flows. These obligations are referred to as contingent consideration.

ASC 805 requires that contingent consideration be estimated and recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date as part of the total consideration transferred. Contingent consideration is an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interests to the selling ~~shareholders~~stockholders in the future if certain future events occur or conditions are met, such as the attainment of product development milestones. Contingent consideration also includes additional future payments to selling ~~shareholders~~stockholders based on achievement of components of earnings, such as “earn-out” provisions or percentage of future revenues, including royalties paid to the selling shareholders based on a percentage of revenues generated from the Sera Labs’ products.

The fair value of contingent consideration after the acquisition date is reassessed by the Company as changes in circumstances and conditions occur, with the subsequent change in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Changes in key assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and, accordingly, the resulting gain or loss that the Company records in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. See Note 19 – Business Combination for ~~a full discussion of these liabilities.~~additional information.

Related Party

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties, ~~that,~~ directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenues under Topic 606 are required to be recognized either at a “point in time” or “over time”, depending on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement, and are evaluated using a five-step model.

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

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

Under Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue as, or when, we satisfy performance obligations under a contract. We account for a contract when the parties approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods or services, to a customer. The transaction price of a contract must be allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Cure Pharmaceutical Revenue

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

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

Cure Pharmaceutical ~~has~~ entered into a Collaboration and Joint Development Agreement (“Agreement”) with Medolife Rx (“Medolife”) on February 1, 2021 (“Effective Date”) for Medolife to produce Medolife Products (“Products”) in Cure Pharmaceutical’s cGMP facility. The term of this agreement is ~~for~~ five (5) years from the Effective Date (“Term”). Medolife is required to pay $0.3 million to assist in completing the jointly developed production line at ~~Cure Pharmaceutical’s cGMP~~the facility. In addition, Cure Pharmaceutical will produce Products on behalf of Medolife and will grant access to Medolife for a joint production area within ~~Cure Pharmaceutical’s production~~the facility for the Term of this Agreement. The Company has determined that there are no distinct obligations for the $0.3 million and Cure Pharmaceutical does have further obligations as stated in the Agreement, thus the Company ~~will recognize~~recognized the revenue monthly over the Term, beginning February 1, 2021.

Sera Labs Revenue

Sera Labs recognizes revenue as, or when, we satisfy performance obligations under a contract. We account for a contract when the parties approved the contract and are committed to perform on it, the rights of each party and the payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods or services, to a customer. The transaction price of a contract must be allocated to each performance obligation and recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied. In essence, we recognize revenue when or as control of the promised goods or services transfer to the customer.

Revenue from eCommerce sales, including direct-to-consumer sales, are recognized upon shipment of merchandise. We also elected to adopt the practical expedient related to shipping and handling fees which allows us to account for shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the related good transfers as fulfillment activities instead of assessing such activities as performance obligations. Therefore, shipping and handling activities are considered part of the Company’s obligation to transfer the products and therefore are recorded as direct selling expenses, as incurred. Shipping revenue are recorded upon delivery to the customer.

Practical Expedients and Exemptions

The Company has elected certain practical expedients and policy elections as permitted under ASC Topic 606 as follows:

	·	The Company adopted the practical expedient related to not adjusting the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between transfer of product and customer payment is expected to be less than one year at the time of contract inception;

	·	The Company made the accounting policy election to exclude any sales and similar taxes from the transaction price;

	·	The Company adopted the practical expedient not to disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less

Sales Tax

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services to a customer, excluding sales taxes. The net amount of sales tax payable to the taxation authority is included sales tax payable in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance ~~sheet.~~sheets.

Sales Returns, Discounts and Warranties

Sales returns, discount and warranties are considered variable consideration under ASC 606. The Company reduces revenue for estimated future returns, discounts and warranties which may occur with distributors and retailers. When evaluating the adequacy of sales returns, discounts and warranties, the Company analyzes the following: historical credit allowances, current sell-through of inventory of the Company’s products, current trends in retail industry, changes in customer demand, acceptance of products, and other related factors.

Cost to Obtain a Contract

The Company pays sales commission to its employees and outside sales representatives for contracts that they obtain relating to wholesale and personal protective equipment. The Company applies the optional practical expedient to immediately expense costs to obtain a contract if the amortization period of the asset that would have been recognized is one year or less. As such, sales commissions are immediately recognized as an expense and included as part of sales and marketing expenses.

Contract Liabilities

Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized represent contract liabilities and are recorded as deferred revenues when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance before satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recognized, and the performance obligation is satisfied. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are included in deferred revenue, which is classified as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had contract liabilities of ~~$0.5~~$0.2 million and ~~$0.5~~$0.3 million, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues primarily consists of labor and manufacturing costs for our products.

Advertising Expense

The Company expenses marketing, promotions and advertising costs as incurred. Such costs are included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded advertising costs of ~~$0.6~~$0.08 million and ~~$0.6~~$0.4 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recorded advertising costs of $1.0 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

Research and Development

Costs incurred in connection with the development of new products and processes are charged to research and development expenses as incurred. The Company recorded research and development expenses of ~~$0.3~~$0.2 million and ~~$0.6~~$0.5 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively. The Company recorded research and development expenses of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Research and development expenses are presented as part of the loss from disposal group on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

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

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

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in response to the outbreak of a novel strain of the coronavirus, COVID-19. The CARES Act lifts certain deduction limitations originally imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “2017 Tax Act”). Under the CARES Act, net operating losses (“NOLs”) arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five tax years preceding the tax year of such loss. Moreover, under the 2017 Tax Act as modified by the CARES Act, federal NOLs of our corporate subsidiaries generated in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 may be carried forward indefinitely, but the deductibility of federal NOLs, particularly for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021, may be limited. The accounting for the material income tax impacts has been reflected in the year ended December 31, 2021 financial statements. It is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the 2017 Tax Act or the CARES Act. The Company is currently assessing the impact the CARES Act will have on the ~~Company’s~~unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

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

Table of Contents

Pursuant to ASC 2018-07 (Topic 718) for share-based payments to employees, consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the “measurement date.” The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain. The Company initially records compensation expense based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. ~~The~~For awards of restricted stock, the Company determines grant date fair value based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date as reported on the OTC Market. For awards of stock options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model ~~for estimating~~to estimate grant date fair ~~value at the date of grant.~~value.

~~The Company accounts for restricted stock awards and stock options issued at fair value, based the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock reported on the OTC Bulletin Board.~~ Compensation expense is recognized for the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest over the period during which the recipient renders the required services to the Company generally using the straight-line single option method.

As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which aligns the accounting of share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. The adoption did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.additional information.

Fair ~~value measurements~~Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands on required disclosures about fair value measurement. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

	·	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

	·	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

	·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

When a part of the purchase consideration consists of shares of the Company common stock, the Company calculates the purchase price attributable to those shares, a Level 1 security, by determining the fair value of those shares quoted on the OTC Market as of the acquisition date. The Company recognizes estimated fair values of the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired, including in-process research and development, and liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration, as of the acquisition date. Goodwill is recognized as any amount of the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in excess of the consideration transferred. ASC 805 precludes the recognition of an assembled workforce as an asset, effectively subsuming any assembled workforce value into goodwill.

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, and also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December, 31, 2021, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, except for ~~cash and cash equivalents consisting of money market funds and~~ the Series A and ~~Series~~ B Notes, which we elected the fair value option. These assets ~~and liabilities~~ are measured at fair value using ~~either Black-Scholes model or Monte Carlo simulation model~~the period-end quoted market prices as a Level 3 input. The Company also has certain derivative liabilities and contingent consideration liabilities which are carried at fair value based on Level 3 inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair values because of the short-term nature of these items.

The fair value of contingent stock consideration is evaluated each reporting period using projected financial information, discount rates, and key inputs. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discount rate. Financial information is based on the Company’s most recent internal forecasts. Changes in projected financial information, the Company’s stock price, discount rate and time for settlement of milestones and earnouts may result in higher or lower fair value measurements. Increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. For the period from the date of acquisition to ~~March 31, 2021,~~June 30, 2022, the Company’s stock price, volatility percentage and the weighted average present value probability of each the various estimates of milestones, earn-out amounts and achievements being accomplished resulted in a decrease of the fair value of the contingent stock consideration. For the period from the December 31, 2021 to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company’s stock price, volatility percentage and the weighted average present value probability of each the various estimates of milestones, earn-out amounts and achievements being accomplished resulted in a decrease of the fair value of the contingent stock consideration. ~~In June 2020, the Company settled all of its outstanding contingent consideration liabilities outstanding with CHI.~~

In October 2020, the Company acquired Sera Labs and had an outstanding contingent consideration liability of $3.2 million in relation to the Sera Labs Merger.

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the Series A and B Notes that were issued on October 30, 2020 and records this at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements~~condensed consolidated statements of ~~Operations.~~operations. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the Series A and B Notes were recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has valued the Series A and B notes without consideration of the terms under an existing default. This was evaluated by the Company’s management and their third party valuation firm. In light of the forbearance agreement, litigation filed by the Company, and communications between the Company and the Investor the likelihood of settlement under those terms was considered remote.

The Company recorded a loss of ~~$0.3~~$0.31 million due to the change in fair value of Series A and B Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and a gain of $0.34 million due to the change in fair value of Series A and B convertible notes for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2022 and a gain of $1.0 million due to the change in fair value of Series A and B convertible notes for the three months ended March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

~~Beneficial Conversion Feature~~

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

Accounting for warrants

The Company determines the accounting classification of warrants it issues, as either liability or equity classified, by first assessing whether the warrants meet liability classification in accordance with ASC 480-10, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, then in accordance with ASC 815-40, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock. Under ASC 480, warrants are considered liability classified if the warrants are mandatorily redeemable, obligate the Company to settle the warrants or the underlying shares by paying cash or other assets, or warrants that must or may require settlement by issuing variable number of shares. If warrants do not meet liability classification under ASC 480-10, the Company assesses the requirements under ASC 815-40, which states that contracts that require or may require the issuer to settle the contract for cash are liabilities recorded at fair value, irrespective of the likelihood of the transaction occurring that triggers the net cash settlement feature. If the warrants do not require liability classification under ASC 815-40, and in order to conclude equity classification, the Company also assesses whether the warrants are indexed to its common stock and whether the warrants are classified as equity under ASC 815-40 or other applicable GAAP. After all relevant assessments, the Company concludes whether the warrants are classified as liability or equity. Liability classified warrants require fair value accounting at issuance and subsequent to initial issuance with all changes in fair value after the issuance date recorded in the statements of operations. Equity classified warrants only require fair value accounting at issuance with no changes recognized subsequent to the issuance date. The Company does not have any liability classified warrants as of any period presented.

Derivative Liabilities

ASC 815-40, requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula and present value pricing. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 2021, the Company did not have any derivative ~~liabilities to adjust to its fair value.~~liabilities.

Contingencies

We are exposed to claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business and use various methods to resolve these matters in a manner that we believe serves the best interest of our ~~shareholders~~stockholders and other constituents. When a loss is probable, we record an accrual based on the reasonably estimable loss or range of loss. When no point of loss is more likely than another, we record the lowest amount in the estimated range of loss and, if material, disclose the estimated range of loss. We do not record liabilities for reasonably possible loss contingencies, but we do disclose a range of reasonably possible losses if they are material and we are able to estimate such a range. If we cannot provide a range of reasonably possible losses, we explain the factors that prevent us from determining such a range. Historically, adjustments to our estimates have not been material. We believe the recorded reserves in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimable liabilities. We do not believe that any of these identified claims or litigation will be material to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Gain contingencies are recorded when the ultimate resolution of the contingency is resolved.

Table of Contents

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted net ~~earnings~~loss per share is computed by dividing net ~~earnings~~loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period plus dilutive securities or other contracts to issue common stock as if these securities were exercised or converted to common stock.

Diluted net loss per share includes the effect of common stock equivalents (stock options, unvested restricted stock, and warrants) when, under either the treasury or if-converted method, such inclusion in the computation would be dilutive. Net loss is adjusted for the dilutive effect of the change in fair value liability for price adjustable warrants, if applicable.

Risks and Uncertainties

COVID-19 Considerations

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the macroeconomic environment in the United States and globally. Due to the evolving and uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is reasonably possible that it could materially impact our estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information, in the near to medium term. These estimates relate to certain accounts including, but not limited to, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The magnitude of the impact will depend on numerous evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and extent of the pandemic, the impact of federal, state, local and foreign governmental actions, consumer, supplier and hospital behavior in response to the pandemic and such governmental actions, and the economic and operating conditions that we may face in the aftermath of COVID-19.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2022-02

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDR”) and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”).

In June 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved management’s plan to sell certain assets of CURE Pharmaceutical. The sale is expected to be consummated within the year.
Subsequent to June 30, 2022, CURE Pharmaceutical entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with TF Tech Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer purchased certain assets (the “Asset Sale”), including certain patents which the Company assigned to CURE Pharmaceutical prior to the closing of the Asset Sale.

In the event of a request for conversion by the Company, the outstanding amount of the May 2021 Loan and any unpaid accrued interest shall be converted into shares of BRC, rounded down to the nearest whole share, by dividing the May 2021 Loan by the price per share obtained by dividing $20 million by the number of outstanding shares of common stock of BRC immediately prior to such conversion (assuming conversion of all securities convertible into common stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants of BRC, but excluding (i) the shares of equity securities of BRC issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Notes and (ii) all shares of the common stock reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan of BRC. In the event the Company has not requested for conversion, the May 2021 Loan can automatically convert if BRC sells shares of preferred stock (the “Qualified Financing Securities”) to one or more investors in a single transaction or series of related transactions for aggregate proceeds to BRC (including cancellation of indebtedness under the Notes or any other convertible debt) of at least $4 million (a “Qualified Financing”). The May 2021 Loan shall automatically convert at the initial closing of and on the same terms and conditions of the Qualified Financing into a total number of Qualified Financing Securities, rounded down to the nearest whole share, obtained by dividing the May 2021 Loan by the lesser of (i) 80% of the price per share paid for the Qualified Financing Securities by investors in the Qualified Financing and (ii) $20 million by the number of outstanding shares of common stock of BRC immediately prior to such conversion (assuming conversion of all securities convertible into common stock and exercise of all outstanding options and warrants of BRC, but excluding (a) the shares of equity securities of BRC issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Notes, (b) all shares of the common stock reserved and available for future grant under any equity incentive or similar plan of BRC and (c) any equity incentive or similar plan to be created or increased in connection with the Qualified Financing).

On October 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”) for the purchase of two new series of convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $11,500,000. Concurrently the Company consummated the sale to the Investor of a Series A subordinated convertible note (the “Series A Note”) with an initial principal amount of $4,600,000 and a Series B senior secured convertible note (the “Series B Note,” and together with the Series A Note, the “Convertible Notes” and, each a “Convertible Note”) with an initial principal amount of $6,900,000 in a private placement (the “Private Placement”).

The Series A Note was sold with an original issue discount of $600,000 and the Series B Note was sold with an original issue discount of $900,000. The Investor paid for the Series A Note to be issued to the Investor by delivering $4,000,000 in cash consideration and paid for the Series B Note to be issued to the Investor by delivering a secured promissory note (the “Investor Note”) with an initial principal amount of $6,000,000. The Company will receive cash in respect of a Series B Note only upon cash repayment of the corresponding Investor Note. In certain circumstances, the Investor Note may be automatically satisfied through netting against the Series B Note, as described more fully below, rather than through the payment of cash. Until an Investor Note is repaid, the original issue discount and the rest of the principal under the corresponding Series B Note is considered to be “restricted.” Upon any repayment of the Investor Note, the principal of the corresponding Series B Note becomes “unrestricted” on dollar-for-dollar basis, along with a proportional amount of the original issue discount. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company received $1.0 million from the Investor Note, leaving a remaining balance of $5.0 million of the Investor Note as of December 31, 2020, which is netted against the Series B Note and included in convertible promissory notes in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The placement agent received a placement agent fee of $306,000 at the closing of the Private Placement, representing 8% of the gross cash proceeds at the closing. After deducting the placement agent fee, the Company’s estimated expenses associated with the Private Placement and the repayment of the September Note, the Company’s net cash proceeds at the closing were approximately $2,340,000. If the Investor Note is subsequently satisfied in full by payment in cash, the additional financial advisory fee on the cash proceeds received from the Investor Note will be another $480,000, and the aggregate net cash proceeds from the Private Placement as a whole will be approximately $8,850,000. In addition, the placement agent received a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for two years for the purchase of an aggregate of up to 242,424 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.32 per share. The Warrant may also be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” or “net exercise.” Upon the achievement of certain milestones, the placement agent is entitled to receive an additional warrant, on the same terms as the Warrant, exercisable for an aggregate of up to 363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock (collectively with the shares underlying the Warrant, the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrant Shares, when issued, will have the same rights, preferences and privileges (including the registration rights described under “Registration Rights Agreement” below) as the shares underlying the Convertible Notes.

The Convertible Notes mature on October 30, 2022 with respect to the Series A Note and October 30, 2021 with respect to the Series B Note (the “Maturity Date”), subject to extension in certain circumstances, including bankruptcy and outstanding events of default. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor an amount in cash (other than restricted amounts under a Series B Note) presenting all outstanding principal, Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Convertible Notes), if any, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in the Convertible Notes) on such principal, except that any restricted amount under the Series B Note will be automatically satisfied on the Maturity Date (in lieu of a cash payment) by Maturity Netting (as defined in the Investor Note described below). The Company may not prepay any amounts due under the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes shall bear no interest unless there is an occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default at which point interest shall be 18%.

2831
Table of Contents

Each Convertible Note (other than restricted amounts under a Series B Note) is convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.32 per share. The conversion price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection upon any transaction in which the Company is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock. If the Company enters into any agreement to issue any variable rate securities, other than a bona fide at-the-market offering or equity line of credit, the Investor has the additional right to substitute such variable price (or formula) for the conversion price. If an Event of Default has occurred under the Convertible Notes, the Investor may elect to alternatively convert the Convertible Notes at the redemption premium described therein.

Promptly after the consummation of the sale of the Convertible Notes, the Company repaid in full the outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest expense on the Senior Promissory Note issued on September 25, 2020 to the Investor (the “September Note”). The cash payment to the Investor to satisfy the September Note was in the amount $1,100,000.

On January 5, 2022, the Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”) with the Investor pursuant to which the Investor has agreed not to exercise, with certain exclusions, any of its judicial or administrative enforcement actions to obtain cash or other assets (excluding Common Stock or other assets issuable upon conversion or exchange of the Series B Note in accordance with the terms thereof) from the Company on account of any payment obligations of the Company under the Series B Note or the Event of Default Redemption Notice that exist as of the date of the Forbearance Agreement or that may arise from the date of this Agreement through February 15, 2022. ~~See~~As of June 30, 2022, the Series B Note 21is in default. No action from the lender has been pursued as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
On April 12, 2022, the Company filed a civil action in the California Superior Court for ~~additional information~~the County of Ventura against the Investor, alleging that the investor entered into the Purchase Agreement as an unregistered securities dealer and unlicensed finance lender in violation of California law. The Company’s complaint seeks rescission of the Purchase Agreement, damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief. As of the filing date of this ~~report.~~Quarterly Report, the Investor has responded to the complaint by filing a demurrer/motion to dismiss. On August 31, 2022, the Company and Investor entered into a stipulation to stay the litigation, which will allow the parties to engage in further settlement discussions. If the matter is unable to be resolved within 30 days (or longer if agreed to by the parties), the case will be litigated in New York where a New York court will be required to apply California law to our causes of action for rescission and unfair competition.

Payment of Amounts Due under the Convertible Notes

On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Investor an amount in cash (other than restricted amounts under a Series B Note) presenting all outstanding principal, Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Convertible Notes), if any, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Late Charges (as defined in the Convertible Notes) on such principal, except that any restricted amount under the Series B Note will be automatically satisfied on the Maturity Date (in lieu of a cash payment) by Maturity Netting (as defined in the Investor Note described below). The Company may not prepay any amounts due under the Convertible Notes.

Interest

The Convertible Notes shall bear no interest unless there is an occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Notes). During any such Event of Default, the Convertible Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum. See “—Events of Default” below.

Conversion; Alternate Conversion upon Event of Default

Each Convertible Note (other than restricted amounts under a Series B Note) is convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.32 per share. The conversion price is subject to full ratchet antidilution protection upon any transaction in which the Company is deemed to have granted, issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock. If the Company enters into any agreement to issue any variable rate securities, other than a bona fide at-the-market offering or equity line of credit, the Investor has the additional right to substitute such variable price (or formula) for the conversion price.

If an Event of Default has occurred under the Convertible Notes, the Investor may elect to alternatively convert the Convertible Notes at the redemption premium described therein.

Conversion Limitation

The Investor will not have the right to convert any portion of a Convertible Notes, to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the Investor (and other certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. This limit may, from time to time, be increased, up to 9.99%, or decreased; provided that any such increase will not be effective until the ~~61st~~61^st day after delivery of a notice to the Company of such increase.

Table of Contents

Events of Default

The Convertible Notes include certain customary and other Events of Default. In connection with an Event of Default, the Investor may require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the Convertible Notes. The redemption price will be at a premium to the amount due under the Convertible Notes as described therein.

Change of Control

In connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Convertible Notes), the Investor may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Convertible Notes. The redemption price per share will be at a premium to the amount due under the Convertible Notes as described therein.

Covenants

The Company will be subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants including those regarding the payment of dividends, maintenance of its property, transactions with affiliates, and issue notes and certain securities.

Placement Agent Warrants

On October 2, 2020 and December 31, 2020, in connection with the Series A Note and Series B Note, respectively, a placement agent is to receive a warrant (the “Warrant”) exercisable for 2 years for the purchase of an aggregate of up to 242,424 and 60,606 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price of $1.32 per share. The Warrant may also be exercised by means of a “cashless exercise” or “net exercise.” Upon the achievement of certain milestones, the placement agent is entitled to receive an additional warrant, on the same terms as the Warrant, exercisable for an aggregate of up to 363,636 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Company used the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the Warrants issued to the Placement Agent. The Company has elected the Fair Value Option for the Series A Note and Series B Note, accordingly the fair value of the Warrants issued to the placement agent were expensed.

The following table sets forth the assumptions used and calculated aggregated fair values of the warrants:

Significant assumptions (weighted-average):

Expected stock price volatility

Expected forfeiture rate

Fair Value Option for the Series A and ~~Series~~ B Notes

The Company elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments, for both the Series A and ~~Series~~ B Notes and accounted for the Notes as follows (1) the portion of the change in the liability’s fair value that is attributable to a change in instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income (2) the remaining change in the liability’s fair value in net income (3) the excess of the fair value over the proceeds is recognized as an expense and (4) upfront costs and fees are recognized in earnings as incurred Gains and losses attributable to changes in credit risk are determined using observable credit default spreads for the issuer or comparable companies; these gains and losses were insignificant during all periods presented. The Company recognized a loss of $4.4 million and $5.1 million at the time of issuance of the Series A and ~~Series~~ B Notes, respectively, as a result of the make whole provision noted within the debt arrangements as the debt holders would be awarded a variable number of shares at the time of conversion which would always equate to an amount greater than the principal amount of the debt.

The Company recorded a loss of $0.02 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.29 million relating to the Series A and B Notes, respectively, attributed to the change in fair value of the Series A and B Notes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and were recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded a gain of $0.89 million and a loss of $0.55 million relating to the Series A and B Notes, respectively, attributed to the change if fair value of the Series A and ~~Series~~ B Notes for the ~~three~~six months ~~period~~ ended March 31, 2022 and were recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Company recorded a gain of $0.5 million and $0.5 million relating to the Series A and Series B Notes, respectively, attributed to the change if fair value of the Series A and Series B Notes for the three months period ended March 31,June 30, 2021 and were recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has valued the Series A and B notes without consideration of the terms under an existing default. This was evaluated by the Company’s management and their third-party valuation firm. In light of the forbearance agreement, litigation filed by the Company, and communications between the Company and the Investor the likelihood of settlement under those terms was considered remote.

NOTE 1617 – STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

On December 29, 2017 (“Effective Date”), the Company adopted the CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Equity Plan”), pursuant to which an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the common stock of the Company are available for grant. On November 28, 2020, the Company registered an additional 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company that are available to be granted by filing a Form S-3 Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Board of Directors have determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to provide an additional incentive for certain employees, including executive officers, and non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company by granting to them awards with respect to the common stock of the Company pursuant to the Plan. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for awards in the form of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares, Performance Units, Cash-Based Awards and Other Stock-Based Awards (“Awards”). The Plan will continue in effect until its termination by the Committee; provided, however, that all Awards must be granted, if at all, within ten (10) years from the Effective Date.

The Company did not issue any NSO’s, ISO’s, RSC’s or RSU’s during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The Company issued 650,801 Nonstatutory Stock Options (“NSO”) to employees of the Company and did not issue any Incentive Stock Options (“ISO”), Restricted Common Stock (“RCS”) and Restricted Stock Units (“RSU”) during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Vesting periods for awarded RCS, ISO’s and NSO’s range from immediate to quarterly over a ~~4 year~~4-year period. Vesting period for RSU’s is the earlier of (i) the day prior to the next ~~Annual Meeting~~annual meeting of ~~Shareholders~~stockholders following the date of grant, and (ii) one (1) year from the Date of Grant. For ISO’s and NSO’s awarded, the term to exercise their ISO or NSO is 10 years.

The Company issued 1,518,194 stock options to a consultant that contains performance-based vesting conditions where revenue milestones are to be met over a certain period. Such stock option awards would be valued using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probability of the performance condition being met and the underlying expense would be recognized as the associated vesting conditions are met. No stock options that contain performance-based vesting conditions vested during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~the likelihood of meeting~~it is improbable that the performance-based condition ~~is currently nil.~~will be met.

However, where applicable, portions of the administrative function expenses are allocated between the operating segments. The operating segments do share manufacturing or distribution facilities. In the event any materials and/or services are provided to one operating segment by the other, the transaction is valued according to the company’s transfer policy, which approximates market price. The costs of operating the manufacturing plant is captured discretely in the Cure segment. The Company’s property, plant and equipment, inventory, and accounts receivable are captured and reported discretely within each operating segment.

NOTE 21 -– COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business.

OnIn October ~~21,~~ 2020, the Company filed a demand to commence arbitration with the American Arbitration Association against Canopy for Canopy’s failure to perform under the License Agreement. On April 28, 2021 the Company entered into an agreement resolving the dispute between the parties, pursuant to which neither party admitted liability, the parties released their respective claims and obligations, and Canopy agreed to pay a total of $3.9 million, of which $2.3 million was paid to the Company on May 6, 2021, and the balance of $1.6 million was paid to the Company’s attorneys.

On April 12, 2022, the Company filed a civil action in the California ~~Super~~Superior Court for the County of Ventura against the Investor referenced in Note ~~14,~~15, alleging that the Investor entered into the Purchase Agreement as an unregistered securities dealer and unlicensed finance lender in violation of California law. The Company’s complaint seeks rescission of the Purchase Agreement, damages, attorneys’ fees and other relief. As of the filing date of this ~~report,~~Quarterly Report, the Investor has ~~not~~ responded to the ~~complaint.~~complaint by filing a demurrer/motion to dismiss. On August 31, 2022, the Company and Investor entered into a stipulation to stay the litigation, which will allow the parties to engage in further settlement discussions. If the matter is unable to be resolved within 30 days (or longer if agreed to by the parties), the case will be litigated in New York where a New York court will be required to apply California law to our causes of action for rescission and unfair competition.

Tax Filings

The Company tax filings are subject to audit by taxing authorities in jurisdictions where it conducts business. These audits may result in assessments of additional taxes that are subsequently resolved with the authorities or potentially through the courts. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company is not subject to any such these audits.

Employment Contracts

The Company has entered into ~~a severance benefit contract~~an employment agreement with an executive officer. Under the provisions of the contracts, the Company may be required to incur severance obligations for matters relating to changes in control, as defined, and certain terminations of executives. As of ~~March 31, 2021,~~June 30, 2022, the Company had no such severance obligations, in accordance with the severance benefit provisions of the respective employment ~~and severance benefit~~ agreement.
On November 3, 2021 the Company entered into a separation agreement (the “Berlent Separation Agreement”) with Jonathan Berlent whereby the parties have agreed to a mutual separation of Mr. Berlent’s employment as the Company’s Chief Business Officer, effective November 3, 2021.
Pursuant to the terms of the Berlent Separation Agreement, Mr. Berlent will be entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) a gross sum of $0.01 million relating to deferred payroll; (ii) separation pay of three weeks of Mr. Berlent’s gross pay, less standard payroll deductions and withholdings; and (iii) See Note 22 – Subsequent Events for a period of five months, an amount equal to the cost of his COBRA health benefits if he enrolls for COBRA coverage. The Berlent Separation Agreement contains a release and certain restrictive covenants that are binding upon Mr. Berlent.additional information.

Indemnification

In the normal course of business, ~~The~~the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope under ~~The~~the Company’s agreements with other companies or consultants, typically ~~The~~the Company’s clinical research organizations, suppliers and others. Pursuant to these agreements, ~~The~~the Company will generally agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified parties for losses and expenses suffered or incurred by the indemnified parties arising from claims of third parties in connection with the use or testing of ~~The~~the Company’s products. Indemnification provisions could also cover third party infringement claims with respect to patent rights, copyrights, or other intellectual property pertaining to ~~The~~the Company’s products. The Company’s office and laboratory facility leases also will generally contain indemnification obligations, including obligations for indemnification of the lessor for environmental law matters and injuries to persons or property of others, arising from ~~The~~the Company’s use or occupancy of the leased property. The term of these indemnification agreements will generally continue in effect after the termination or expiration of the particular research, development, services, lease, or license agreement to which they relate. Historically, ~~The~~the Company has not been subject to any claims or demands for indemnification. The Company also maintains various liability insurance policies that limit ~~The~~the Company’s financial exposure. As a result, ~~The~~the Company management believes that the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, ~~The~~the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our ~~condensed consolidated financial statements~~unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in ~~Part I, Item 1 of~~ this Quarterly Report, ~~on Form 10-Q,~~ as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the ~~related~~ notes thereto, and the discussion under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on April 1, ~~2022.~~2022 (our “2021 Annual Report”).

Overview

CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp. (“CPHC”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CURE Pharmaceutical Corporation (“CURE Pharmaceutical”), Cure Chemistry Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “CHI”) and The Sera Labs, Inc. (“Sera Labs”) (CPHC, CURE Pharmaceutical, CHI and Sera Labs, collectively the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “CURE”) is a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the development and manufacturing of drug formulation and drug delivery technologies in novel dosage forms to improve drug safety, efficacy and patient adherence. Our mission is to improve lives by redefining how medications are delivered and experienced. Our primary business model is to develop wellness and drug products using our proprietary technology, which development may include preclinical and clinical studies and regulatory approval, and grant product rights to partners responsible for marketing, sales and distribution, while retaining exclusive manufacturing rights and market, sell and distribute branded health, wellness, and beauty products through Sera Labs. We operate in a 25,000 square foot cGMP manufacturing plant in Oxnard, CA.

~~On October 2, 2020, we completed our acquisition of Sera Labs, a Delaware corporation pursuant~~Subsequent to June 30, 2022, CURE Pharmaceutical entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement ~~and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of September 23, 2020~~ (the ~~“Merger Agreement”~~“APA”)~~, by and among the Company, Cure Labs,~~ with TF Tech Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation ~~and a wholly owned subsidiary~~(the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Buyer purchased certain assets (the “Asset Sale”), including certain patents which the Company assigned to CURE Pharmaceutical prior to the closing of the ~~Company (“Merger Sub”), Sera Labs~~Asset Sale. In connection with the Asset Sale, Buyer assumed the Oxnard, CA facility lease and ~~Nancy Duitch, in her capacity as~~hired the ~~security holders representative. The Merger Agreement provides for~~related employees based at the ~~acquisition of Sera Labs by the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Sera Labs, with Sera Labs surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).~~facility.

Our technology platform includes oral thin film (“OTF”), and encapsulation systems (“microCURE”) compatible with OTF, chews, oral solutions, topical and transdermal dose forms. We apply our technology to pharmaceutical drugs and dietary supplements for the wellness market. OTF products are about the size of a postage stamp and composed of excipients such as polymers, stabilizers, lipids and surfactants which are all generally recognized as safe. They can be designed to deliver active ingredients to the gastrointestinal, or GI, tract when placed on the tongue and swallowed, or directly to the blood stream when placed under the tongue (sublingual) or on the inner lining of the cheek and lip (buccal).

We mainly sell ~~multiple commercial~~ wellness products through Sera Labs ~~where the Company~~which generates the majority of ~~revenue from.~~the Company’s revenue. We also sell commercial wellness products under our distribution partners’ brands.

~~We have also developed a 50,000IU and Vitamin D3 OTF for oral administration to be distributed by Meroven Pharmaceuticals in the United States and the MENA region.~~ Our pharmaceutical drug program includes:

CUREfilm Blue

A 25mg and 50mg sildenafil OTF for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. We have completed our pre-IND meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”), confirming a 505(b)(2) regulatory path.

CUREfilm Canna

We are developing several cannabinoid products with optimized pharmacokinetic profiles using microCURE and CUREfilm technology.

The pharmaceutical industry is facing ever-growing R&D expenditures and fewer new drug approvals as a result of increasing regulation, a failure to predict safety problems or a lack of efficacy early in a drug’s development, and high investment in new technologies to improve the speed and accuracy of drug development. Researching and developing new molecular entities (NMEs) is risky as measured by an ever-increasing R&D spend (13.4% average increase per year), low clinical trial success rate (10%) and sluggish NME drug approvals – with 50 NMEs approved in 2021, down from 53 in 2020. Faced with these challenges, drug developers are looking toward alternative dosage forms, for which R&D investments ~~dwarves~~far surpass those of NMEs. Alternative dosage forms can address safety and efficacy limitations observed during clinical development of an NME using conventional formulations, by improving its pharmacokinetic profile.

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

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

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

Our Strategy

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

Pharmaceuticals

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

Cannabinoids and Other Schedule 1 Drugs

We are specifically investing in pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid products, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The oral bioavailability of cannabinoids is very low due to extensive “first-pass” metabolism. Consequently, potency and release times are unpredictable and inconsistent. Moreover, cannabinoids do not readily dissolve in water which adds to dosing difficulties and discrepancies. In addition to improving bioavailability, CUREfilm enables the loading of combinations of cannabinoids and botanical extracts which may provide maximum therapeutic benefit.

We are sponsoring preclinical cannabinoid research at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, where the laboratory of Dr. Dedi Meiri is identifying specific combinations of cannabinoids with anti-tumor effects. We are registered with the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) to manufacture Schedule 1 controlled substances at the Oxnard facility.

Wellness and Beauty

We focus on evidence-based wellness products that are differentiated by using proprietary and/or proven active ingredients that we formulate for greater stability, overall quality and increased bioavailability. Wellness and Beauty products can be cosmetics, ~~OTC~~over-the-counter or dietary supplements which do not require FDA approval but do require following all ~~GMPs.~~good manufacturing practices (GMPs). Thus, they are less costly and faster to launch in the marketplace. We sell white labeled and private labeled wellness products which we produce in our state-of-the-art cGMP manufacturing facility. While manufacturing fees for such products have lower margins than prescription drugs, they provide us with short term revenue opportunities.

~~Our recently acquired wholly-owned subsidiary,~~ Sera Labs, is a trusted leader in the health, wellness, and beauty sectors of innovative products with cutting edge technology and superior ingredients such as CBD. Sera Labs creates high quality products that use science-backed, proprietary formulations. Its more than 25 products are sold under the brand names Seratopical™, Seratopical® Revolution, SeraLabs™, and Nutri-Strips™. Sera Labs sells its products at affordable prices, making them easily accessible on a global scale. Strategically positioned in the growth market categories of beauty, health & wellness, and pet care, Sera Labs products are sold in major national drug, grocery chains and mass retailers. The company also sells products under private label to major retailers and multi-level marketers, as well as direct-to-consumer (DTC), via online website orders, including opt-in subscriptions.

In December 2020, Nicole Kidman became the Global Brand Ambassador and Strategic Partner for Seratopical Skincare. In addition to being the face of the brand, Nicole Kidman will play an integral role in the strategic direction of product development and messaging. This partnership will allow for women of all skin tones and types to look and feel their best by using Sera Labs’ industry best ingredients.

Our Technology

As a drug delivery company, we seek to grow our technological capabilities through internal innovation and acquisitions. OnIn May ~~13,~~ 2019, we acquired Chemistry Holdings, Inc., a formulation technology company that is developing innovative delivery systems for wellness and pharmaceutical products. This acquisition allows us to address the increased demand for solid, chewable, liquid and dermal products for immediate and controlled-release, particularly for poorly soluble molecules such as cannabinoids.

Our expanded formulation and delivery platform, CUREform^TM combines the right formulation with the right dosage form. In addition to novel chewable dosage forms, the acquisition gives us advanced encapsulation capabilities (microCURE) that serve to:

·
Protect molecules from degradation during the manufacturing process and throughout shelf life

·
Protect molecules from degradation in the body (e.g. stomach acids); and

·
Increase a drug’s bioavailability and optimize its release kinetics through:

·
Increased solubility in water and therefore bodily fluids

·
Enhanced permeability and retention in target tissue

CUREfilm^TM Technology

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

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

Table of Contents

Safety and Efficacy

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

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

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

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

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

Patient Experience and Medication Adherence

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

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

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

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

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

Manufacturing and logistics

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

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

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

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

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

·
Enables anti-counterfeit management and dose management.

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

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

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

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

·
loading of multiple active ingredients on one dose unit;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Competition

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

Environmental Compliance

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

Employees

As of the date of this filing, we have 2412 full-time ~~employees.~~employees after giving effect to the elimination of certain operations in connection with the Asset Sale. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

~~Revenues~~The following discussion for our results of operations does not include the loss from our discontinued operations which was $2.7 million and $6.3 million for the ~~Three Months Ended March 31,~~three and six months ended June 30, 2022, ~~and 2021~~
~~Revenues~~respectively. The significant component of the losses from discontinued operations was the impairment of goodwill amounting to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and $2.0 million for three months ended June 30, 2022, for a total impairment loss of $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Revenues for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as compared to ~~$1.4~~$2.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to an inability due to financial constraints to market and promote Sera Labs products resulting in a decrease in unit sales in our DTC ~~revenue attributed from Sera Labs~~channel of distribution when compared to the previous ~~period.~~period and the discontinuation of the sale of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the second quarter of 2021 ($0.4 million). However, this decrease was offset in part by an increase in unit sales in our wholesale ~~revenue from~~channel of distribution related to sales of our Seratopical Revolution products in one of the largest retail stores in the United States.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold was ~~$0.35~~$0.15 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to ~~$0.41~~$0.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. Cost of goods sold decreased by approximately ~~$0.06~~$0.65 million and $0.5 million during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2022.~~June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in DTC ~~revenue~~and PPE sales offset in part by higher gross margin due to lower product costs during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2021.

Professional Services and Investor Relations

Professional services and investor relations expenses increased by approximately $0.14 million and decreased by approximately ~~$0.5~~$1.0 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2021, respectively. This was primarily due to the Company looking to a new investor relations firm to help increase awareness of our Company with potential new ~~investors~~investor base. As a result, we did not utilize the same investor relations firm during the 2022 period as we did in the 2021 period.

Non-cash Compensation

Non-cash compensation expense decreased by approximately ~~$1.1~~$0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2021, respectively. This was primarily due to the Company recording the fair value of an increased number of vested stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units issued from our 2017 Equity Plan during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and did not issue nearly as many stock options and restricted stock during the same ~~period~~periods in 2022.

Change in Fair Value Contingent Stock Consideration

The change in fair value contingent stock consideration increased by approximately ~~$0.2~~$0.90 million and $0.72 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2021, respectively. The change in fair value of contingent stock consideration during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was based on a change in the probability percentages of achieving the milestones which was significantly different compared to the probability percentages ~~estimated during~~estimates used in the same period in 2021. In addition, the decrease in the stock price resulted in a decrease in the fair value of the contingent stock consideration.

Impairment of ~~Goodwill~~Intangibles

Impairment ~~of goodwill increased by approximately $2.7~~losses amounted to $4.62 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, as compared to no impairment losses in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The ~~impairment of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was~~Company’s management determined ~~based on the qualitative factors~~ that the ~~fair~~customer relationships have no future value and should be written down to nil as of goodwill is more likely than not to be less than its carrying amount and thus the fair value of a reporting unit, Cure Pharmaceutical, to be calculated and compared with its carrying amount and an impairment charge was recognized of approximately $2.7 million.June 30, 2022.

Net cash used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately ~~$1.8~~$3.6 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to the net loss from continuing operations of approximately ~~$5.2~~$3.9 million and the net loss from disposal group of approximately $4.3 million, offset by (i) the fair value of vested stock options and restricted stock of approximately ~~$0.5~~$0.9 million, (ii) ~~impairment of goodwill of approximately $2.7 million, (iii)~~ change in fair value of convertible promissory notes of approximately $0.3 million and ~~(iv)~~(iii) depreciation and amortization of approximately ~~$1.0~~$1.2 million ~~which was increased by (v)~~(iv) the change in fair value of contingent share consideration approximately of $0.8 million, and ~~(vi)~~(v) increase in the change in accrued ~~expenses~~assets and liabilities held for sale of approximately ~~$0.6~~$3.7 million.

Comparatively, net cash used in operating activities was approximately ~~$1.8~~$0.7 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to the net loss from continuing operations of approximately ~~$3.2~~$2.8 million and the loss from disposal group of approximately $1.7 million, offset by (i) stock based compensation of approximately ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million, (ii) the fair value of vested stock options and restricted stock of approximately ~~$1.1~~$1.8 million, and (iii) depreciation and amortization of approximately ~~$0.7~~$1.2 million which was increased by (iv) the change in fair value of contingent share consideration and change in fair value of convertible promissory notes of ~~$1.7~~$1.9 million, and (v) gain from extinguishment of debt of ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million.

Net cash provided by Financing Activities

Net cash ~~used~~provided by financing activities of approximately ~~$0.4~~$3.6 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was primarily due to ~~(i)~~ proceeds from notes payable of ~~$2.3~~$3.6 million ~~(ii)~~and $0.2 million proceeds from related party ~~payables of $0.2 million and (iii)~~payable offset in part by the repayment of debt in the amount of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million. Correspondingly, ~~Net~~net cash ~~used~~provided by financing activities of approximately ~~$0.4~~$0.7 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 was primarily due to (i) proceeds from notes payable of ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million and (ii) ~~the repayment of debt~~proceeds from related party payables in the amount of ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million offset in part by the repayment of loans payable of $0.2 million.

WeOn July 22, 2022, CURE Pharmaceutical entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with TF Tech Ventures, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which Buyer purchased certain assets of CURE Pharmaceutical (the “Asset Sale”), including certain patents which the Company assigned to CURE Pharmaceutical prior to the closing of the Asset Sale. The total consideration paid to CURE Pharmaceutical in connection with the Asset Sale was $20,000,000 of non-dilutive capital, which consisted of (i) the cancellation of indebtedness owed by Cure Pharmaceutical to the Buyer in an amount equal to $4,150,000, (ii) $2,000,000 payable in the form of a secured promissory note due July 22, 2023 which bears interest at 2.63% per annum, and (iii) the remainder of $13.85 million in cash (the “Closing Cash Consideration”). The Closing Cash Consideration was reduced by approximately $41,000 for certain liabilities that Buyer assumed at the closing. A portion of the net proceeds from the sale was used to pay down debt ($5.56 million) and the balance is available for working capital and other general corporate purposes including the development and procurement of product and for marketing and promoting our products and brands in furtherance of our strategic plan. In connection with the Asset Sale, Buyer assumed the Oxnard, CA facility lease and hired the related employees based at the facility reducing the Company’s overhead and operating expenses as of the closing.
In the event that such working capital is insufficient, we may need to raise additional operating capital in calendar year 2022 in order to maintain our operations and to realize our ~~business~~strategic plan. Without additional sources of cash and/or the deferral, reduction, or elimination of significant planned expenditures, we may not have the cash resources to continue as a going concern thereafter.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. We also have other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are significant to understanding our results. Although we believe that our estimates, assumptions, and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments, or condition.

Our 2021 Annual Report, contains additional information regarding the critical accounting policies that affect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~condensed consolidated financial statements included in ~~Part I, Item 1 of~~ this Quarterly ~~Report on Form 10-Q.~~Report. There have been no material changes to these policies reported in ~~2022.~~our 2021 Annual Report. Please refer to “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the ~~Notes~~notes to ~~Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements~~condensed consolidated financial statements included in ~~Part I, Item 1 of~~ this Quarterly Report ~~on Form 10-Q~~ for information regarding recently adopted accounting standards.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, ~~on Form 10-Q,~~ we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Information for this Item is not required as we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are designed to ensure that: (1) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (2) such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting as a result of the identified material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication and (v) monitoring.

Identified Material Weakness

A material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or the financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Management identified the segregation of duties as a material weakness during its assessment of internal controls over financial reporting as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weaknesses are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions planned include:

·
re-design of our accounting processes and control procedures; and

·
identify gaps in our skills base and the expertise of our staff required to meet the financial reporting requirements of a public company.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, we continued to execute upon our planned remediation actions which are all intended to strengthen our overall control environment.

Additionally, Management has engaged a professional services firm with expertise in internal controls. In order to remediate the material weaknesses described above, management has initiated compensating controls in the near term and are enhancing and revising the design of existing controls and procedures to properly account for significant and unusual transactions.
The following are the primary remediation efforts made by the Company:

·
Prepare accounting memos ~~over~~relating to the debt issuances made by the Company ~~in fiscal~~during 2021 and 2020 which include derivative and warrants

·
Review fair value of convertible promissory notes in relation to the Series A and B Notes

·
Review of impairment of long-lived assets including goodwill and intangibles

·
Review ~~forms 10-Q and 10-K~~periodic reports to ensure the appropriate disclosures are made within the SEC filed documents

Additionally, management has engaged a professional services firm with expertise in internal controls. In ~~addition,~~order to remediate the ~~Company engaged external SOX consultants~~material weaknesses described above, management has initiated compensating controls in the near term and is enhancing and revising the design of existing controls and procedures to ~~further enhance the Company’s internal control environment.~~properly account for significant and unusual transactions. After several meetings ~~with~~between the consultants and key accounting personnel the following actions were ~~put in place:~~completed:


·
Adoption of COSO

·
SOX risk assessment memo

·
Entity level COSO mapping

·
SOX control narratives for financial reporting as well as other processes

While we believe these additions have addressed our lack of segregation of duties, due to the timing of the events, they were not able to mitigate the material weakness for the three months period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. We are committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believe that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our control environment. Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the relevance of our risk-based approach and the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is not effective as a result of the identified material weakness described herein.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our internal control over financial reporting. However, we anticipate that there could be changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2022 primarily as a result of the completion of the Asset Sale and the related management transition.

	·	Protect molecules from degradation during the manufacturing process and throughout shelf life

	·	Protect molecules from degradation in the body (e.g. stomach acids); and

	·	Increase a drug’s bioavailability and optimize its release kinetics through:

	·	Increased solubility in water and therefore bodily fluids

	·	Enhanced permeability and retention in target tissue

	·	Potential for rapid onset of action which can be especially useful for indications such as motion sickness, erectile dysfunction, seizures, allergic attack or coughing, bronchitis or asthma.
	·	Potential to extend a drug’s half-life and consequently extending dosage intervals.
	·	Transmucosal delivery can improve a drug’s safety profile of therapy such as reduced gastric irritation.
	·	Transmucosal delivery can improve a drug’s efficacy in patients with GI absorption issues.
	·	Accuracy in the administered dose can be better assured for each film.

	·	Difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules can be a problem for many individuals and can lead to a variety of adverse events and patient noncompliance with treatment regimens. It is estimated that over 16 million people in the United States have some difficulty swallowing, also known as dysphagia. Studies in adults evaluating the effect of tablet and capsule size on ease of swallowing suggest that increases in size are associated with increases in patient complaints related to swallowing difficulties at tablet sizes greater than approximately 8 mm in diameter. OTFs can readily be taken without the need to swallow or use of water or other beverages.
	·	Upon administration, there is a relatively low risk of the patient choking which can be most beneficial for patients suffering from motion sickness, dysphagia and repeated emesis.
	·	Easily administered to bedridden and non-cooperative patients (e.g., geriatric, pediatric, and psychiatric). ~~They are hard to spit out.~~
	·	Configured with physical dimensions such that it is relatively easy and convenient to store and carry. Patients can conveniently carry multiple dissolvable films in his or her pocket or wallet. A single dose of strip can be carried individually without requiring the secondary container.
	·	OTFs are flexible with a pleasant mouth feel unlike oral dissolvable tablets which are brittle.

	·	The pouches or sachets offer larger printable 2D areas which traditional drug product formats do not. This allows the manufacturer to adapt to rapidly evolving labeling and regulatory requirements for information and anti-counterfeiting, such as product serialization.
	·	The manufacturing process has a low carbon ~~foot print,~~footprint, with lower use of water for component preparation and sterilization as compared with other dosage forms.
	·	~~Even though not necessarily sterile, each~~Each dose unit is packed individually avoiding contact with other units.
	·	Tensile strength and plasticity of OTF allow for handling single, individual dose units without damage to the dosage form.
	·	Multiple SKUs can be produced by simply modifying the length of the OTF.
	·	Enables anti-counterfeit management and dose management.
	·	Adaptable for use with dispensing devices for pharmacy preparation or self-administration.
	·	Can be easily and conveniently handled, stored, and transported at room temperature.

	·	loading of multiple active ingredients on one dose unit;
	·	ability to accommodate high drug load per dose unit (e.g. > 200 mg);
	·	quickly dissolving/disintegrating (e.g. < 2 minutes);
	·	potential for low moisture level (e.g. < 10 wt.% water);
	·	ability to achieve desired performance characteristics while maintaining pleasant feeling in the mouth (e.g. soft, plush feeling with pliable film);
	·	ability to achieve desired performance characteristics while formulating active ingredients susceptible to degradation from low pH environments, light, heat, moisture, and oxygen; and
	·	multiple and unique ways to mask the bitter, metallic or salty taste of an active ingredient.

	·	a method and apparatus for minimizing heat, moisture, and shear damage to medicant incorporated into an edible film;

	·	edible films for administration of medicaments to animals;

	·	methods for modulating dissolution, bioavailability, bioequivalence;

	·	pharmaceutical composition and method of manufacturing;

	·	pharmaceutical composition with ionically crosslinked polymer encapsulation of active ingredient;

	·	multi-layered high dosage dissolvable film for oral administration;

	·	thin films with high load of active ingredient;

	·	high dosage dissolvable films for oral administration;

	·	methods and composition for improving sleep;

	·	oral dissolvable film that includes plant extracts and controlled substances;

	·	rapidly disintegrating film matrix for moisture sensitive compounds;

	·	protein-polysaccharide macromolecular complexes encapsulating ethyl alcohol;
