NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Silo
Pharma, Inc. (formerly Uppercut Brands, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of New York on July 13, 2010,
under the name Gold Swap, Inc. On January 24, 2013, the Company changed its state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.
The
Company is a developmental stage biopharmaceutical company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research. The
Company seeks to acquire and/or develop intellectual property or technology rights from leading universities and researchers to treat
rare diseases, including the use of psychedelic drugs, such as psilocybin, and the potential benefits they may have in certain cases
involving depression, mental health issues and neurological disorders. The Company is focused on merging traditional therapeutics with
psychedelic research for people suffering from indications such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), Alzheimer’s,
Parkinson’s, and other rare neurological disorders. The Company’s mission is to identify assets to license and fund the research
which the Company believes will be transformative to the well-being of patients and the health care industry. The Company was engaged
in the development of a streetwear apparel brand, NFID (see below).
On
May 21, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to change its name from Point
Capital, Inc. to Uppercut Brands, Inc. Thereafter, on September 24, 2020, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation
with the State of Delaware to change its name from Uppercut Brands, Inc. to Silo Pharma, Inc.
On
April 8, 2020, the Company incorporated a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Silo Pharma Inc., in the State of Florida. The Company has
also secured the domain name www.silopharma.com. The Company has been exploring opportunities to expand the Company’s business
by seeking to acquire and/or develop intellectual property or technology rights from leading universities and researchers to treat rare
diseases, including the use of psychedelic drugs, such as psilocybin, and the potential benefits they may have in certain cases involving
depression, mental health issues and neurological disorders. In July 2020, through the Company’s newly formed subsidiary, the Company
entered into a commercial evaluation license and option agreement with University of Maryland, Baltimore (“UMB”) (see Note
8) pursuant to which, among other things, UMB granted the Company an exclusive, option to negotiate and obtain an exclusive, sublicensable,
royalty-bearing license to certain technology. The option was extended and exercised on January 13, 2021. On February 12, 2021, the Company
entered into a Master License Agreement with UMB (see Note 8). The Company plans to actively pursue the acquisition and/or development
of intellectual property or technology rights to treat rare diseases, and to ultimately expand the Company’s business to focus
on this new line of business.
On
September 30, 2021, the Company entered into and closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement) with NFID,
LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Buyer”), whereby the Buyer purchased from the Company certain assets, properties,
and rights in connection with the Company’s NFID trademark name, logos, domain, and apparel clothing and accessories for a purchase
price of $60,000 in the form of a promissory note amounting to $60,000. The promissory note bears 8% interest per annum and matures on
October 1, 2023. Accordingly, the results of operations of this component, for all periods presented, are separately reported as “discontinued
operations” on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss (see Note 4).
On
September 14, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate
of Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-50 reverse stock split (the “Reverse
Stock Split”) with respect to the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. The Certificate of Amendment became effective
on September 14, 2022. The Reverse Stock Split was previously approved by the sole director and the majority of stockholders of the Company.
The Reverse Stock Split was deemed effective at the open of business on September 15, 2022. All share and per share data in the consolidated
financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.

NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the instructions to Form 10-Q, and the rules and regulations of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for financial information. The Company’s consolidated
financial statements include financial statements for Silo Pharma, Inc. and its inactive wholly-owned subsidiary with the same name as
the parent entity, Silo Pharma, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Management acknowledges
its responsibility for the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements which reflect all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring and non-recurring adjustments, considered necessary in its opinion for a fair statement of its consolidated
financial position and the consolidated results of its operations for the periods presented.
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (the “U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions Article
8-03 of Regulation S-X. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the
fiscal year as a whole. Certain information and note disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
U.S. GAAP has been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to such accounting principles and, accordingly, they do not include
all the information and notes necessary for comprehensive financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the summary of significant accounting policies and notes to the consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 24, 2023.
In
accordance with, Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” establishes that the
disposal or abandonment of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity should be reported in discontinued operations
if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.
As a result, the NFID, LLC component’s results of operations have been classified as discontinued operations on a retrospective
basis for all periods presented. Accordingly, the results of operations of this component, for all periods, are separately reported as
“discontinued operations” on the consolidated statements of operations.
Liquidity
As
reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company generated a net loss of $1,919,347 and used cash
in operations of $1,242,654 during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,090,475
on June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $9,057,493.
The
positive working capital serves to mitigate the conditions that historically raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern. The Company believes that the Company has sufficient cash and liquid short-term investments to meet its
obligations for a minimum of twelve months from the date of this filing.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise
significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances
that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near
term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates
during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include the collectability of notes receivable, the percentage of completion of research
and development projects, valuation of equity investments, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of warrants issued
with debt and for services, and the fair value of shares and stock options issued for services.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents. The Company
places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 or by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to
$250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates at least annually the
rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits. On June 30, 2023, the Company did not have cash in excess of FDIC limits.
On December 31, 2022, the Company had cash in excess of FDIC limits of approximately $10,868,000. During the six months ended June 30,
2023, the Company began transferring funds to other high quality financial institutions to mitigate its risk to ensure that its exposure
is limited or reduced to the FDIC protection limits. In connection with the early termination of a certificate of deposit, the Company
paid a penalty of $166,034, which is reflected on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.
Any material loss that we may experience in the future could have an adverse effect on our ability to pay our operational expenses or
make other payments.
Short-Term
Investments
The
Company’s portfolio of short-term investments consists of marketable debt securities which are comprised solely of that are all
highly rated U.S. government securities with maturities of more than three months, but less than one year. The Company classifies these
as available-for-sale at purchase date and will reevaluate such designation at each period end date. The Company may sell these marketable
debt securities prior to their stated maturities depending upon changing liquidity requirements. These debt securities are classified
as current assets in the consolidated balance sheet and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated
other comprehensive income and as a component of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Gains and losses are recognized when
realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense), net in
the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
An
impairment loss may be recognized when the decline in fair value of the debt securities is determined to be other-than-temporary. The
Company evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value below the cost basis each quarter, or whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis of the short-term investments may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based
on a number of factors, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below the cost basis, as well as
adverse conditions related specifically to the security, such as any changes to the credit rating of the security and the intent to sell
or whether the Company will more likely than not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
The
Company recorded $8,520 and $3,281 of unrealized loss as a component of other comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June
30, 2023. The Company did not recognize any unrealized gains or losses on short-term investments during the six months ended June 30,
2022.
Equity
Investments, at Fair Value
Realized
gain or loss is recognized when an investment is disposed of and is computed as the difference between the Company’s carrying value
and the net proceeds received from such disposition. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined by specific
identification. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation is computed as the difference between the fair value of the investment and
the cost basis of such investment. Net unrealized gains or losses for equity investments are recognized in operations as the difference
between the carrying value at the beginning of the period and the fair value at the end of the period.
Note
Receivable
The
Company recognizes an allowance for losses on notes receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries.
The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current note receivable aging, and expected future write-offs,
as well as an assessment of specific identifiable accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance
for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
June 30, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
Prepaid
Expenses
Prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $121,334 and $135,894 on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consist primarily of
costs paid for future services which will occur within a year. On June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, prepaid expenses and other assets
– non-current amounted to $67,902 and $70,821, respectively, and consist primarily of costs paid for future services which will
occur after a year. Prepaid expenses may include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for consulting, research and development,
license fees, public relations and business advisory services, and legal fees which are being amortized over the terms of their respective
agreements, which may exceed a year of service.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive
model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue
recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers
in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also
requires certain additional disclosures.
The
Company records interest and dividend income on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts.
For
the license and royalty income, revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation based on the related license
agreement. Payments received from the licensee that are related to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized as
revenues over the term of the related license agreement (see Note 8).
Product
sales were recognized when the NFID products were shipped to the customer and title was transferred and were recorded net of any discounts
or allowances which are separately reported as “discontinued operations” on the consolidated statements of operations.
Cost
of Revenues
The
primary components of cost of revenues on license fees included the cost of the license fees. Payments made to the licensor that are
related to future periods are recorded as prepaid expense to be amortized over the term of the related license agreement (see Note 8).
Stock-Based
Compensation
Stock-based
compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which
requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for
an award of equity instruments over the period the employee, director, or non-employee 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, director, and non-employee
services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures
as they occur as permitted under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities,
as measured by the enacted tax rates, which are expected to be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are classified as current or non-current, depending upon the classification of the asset or liabilities to which they relate. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in
which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amount expected to be realized.
The
Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 740-10, “Uncertainty in Income
Taxes”. Certain recognition thresholds must be met before a tax position is recognized in the financial statements. An entity may
only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold. The Company does not
believe it has any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 that would require either recognition or disclosure
in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Research
and Development
In
accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, research and development costs were $333,632 and $275,955, respectively. During the
three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, research and development costs were $130,719 and $105,676, respectively.
Leases
Leases
are accounted for using ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The standard requires
lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the
lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based
on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize a right-of-use
asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term
of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors
to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing
leases and operating leases. The pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption and is effective on January 1, 2019,
with early adoption permitted. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has no leases. The Company will analyze any lease
to determine if it would be required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheets at fair
value upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term
leases that have a term of 12 months or less.
Net
Loss per Common Share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing net loss allocable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during each period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period
using the as-if converted method. Potentially dilutive securities which include stock options and stock warrants are excluded from the
computation of diluted shares outstanding if they would have an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net losses.
The
following potentially dilutive shares have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be
anti-dilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock
Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses
issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment
is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 during the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair
Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB
ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 requires disclosures
about the fair value of all financial instruments, whether or not recognized, for financial statement purposes. Disclosures about the
fair value of financial instruments are based on pertinent information available to the Company on June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Accordingly, the estimates presented in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized
on disposition of the financial instruments. FASB ASC 820 specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to
those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while
unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).
|
Level 1 - |
Inputs are
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 - |
Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market
data. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 - |
Inputs are unobservable
inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing
the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The
carrying value of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other current assets, notes
receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because
of the short-term nature of these instruments.
The
Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s
(the “FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified
in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The
following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy of its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on
a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the
Company received 1,559 shares of Home Bistro, Inc. common stock with grant date fair value of $85,733 or $54.99 per share, in exchange
for entering into a lock up and leak out agreement which was recorded as other income from equity shares earned for services in the accompanying
unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company measures equity securities received for services at
fair value on the date of receipt.
Equity investments are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains or losses which are recorded as net unrealized gain (loss) on equity investments in the accompanying unaudited consolidated
statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification basis which
is recorded as net realized gain (loss) on equity investments in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
loss. The Company reviews equity investments, at fair value for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there
is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.
ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”
allows entities to voluntarily choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value (fair value option). The fair
value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable, unless a new election date occurs. If the fair value
option is elected for an instrument, unrealized gains and losses for that instrument should be reported in earnings at each subsequent
reporting date. The Company did not elect to apply the fair value option to any outstanding equity instruments.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 9, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate
of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”)
with the Delaware Secretary of State, designating 4,280 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible preferred stock.
| ● | Designation. The Company has designated 4,280 shares of preferred stock as Series C Convertible preferred stock. Each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.0001 per share and a stated value of $1,000 (the “Series C Stated Value”). |
| | |
| ● | Dividends. Holders of Series C Convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive dividends (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the common stock. No other dividends shall be paid on shares of the Series C Convertible preferred stock. |
| | |
| ● | Liquidation. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series C Convertible preferred stock shall be entitled to receive the same amount that a holder of common stock would receive if the Series C Convertible preferred stock were fully converted (disregarding any conversion limitations) which amounts shall be paid pari passu with all holders of common stock. |
| | |
| ● | Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designations or as otherwise required by law, the Series C Convertible preferred stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series C Convertible preferred stock are outstanding, the Company shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series C Convertible preferred stock, (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series C Convertible preferred stock or alter or amend the Certificate of Designations, (b) amend its Certificate of Incorporation or other charter documents in any manner that adversely affects any rights of the holders of the Series C Convertible preferred stock, (c) increase the number of authorized shares of Series C Convertible preferred stock, or (d) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing. |
| | |
| ● | Conversion. Each share of Series C Convertible preferred stock is convertible, at any time and from time to time after the issuance date, at the option of the holder, into such number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Series C Stated Value by the Series C Conversion Price. “Series C Conversion Price” means $15.00, subject to adjustment in the event of stock split, stock dividends, subsequent right offerings and similar recapitalization transactions. |
| | |
| ● | Forced Conversion. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after the date that the Company’s stockholder approval is obtained and deemed effective, the Company may deliver a written notice to all holders (the “Forced Conversion Notice Date”) to cause each holder to convert all or part of such holder’s Series C Convertible preferred stock pursuant to Section 6 (“Forced Conversion”), it being agreed that the “Conversion Date” shall be deemed to occur no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) trading days and (ii) the number of trading days comprising the standard settlement period following the Forced Conversion Notice Date; provided, however, a holder shall only be required to convert pursuant to a Forced Conversion to the extent that such conversion would not cause a holder to exceed its beneficial ownership limitation. On March 10, 2021, the Company obtained the stockholders’ approval forcing the conversion of all the Series C Convertible preferred stock. On April 12, 2021, the Company notified holders of 4,049 shares of its Series C Convertible preferred stock of its election to force the conversion to its Series C Convertible preferred stock into shares of the Company’s common stock and on March 31, 2022, the Company notified holders of the remaining 227 shares of its Series C Convertible preferred stock of its election to force the conversion to its Series C Convertible preferred stock into shares of the Company’s common stock (see below). |
| | |
| ● | Exercisability. A holder of Series C Convertible preferred stock may not convert any portion of the Series C Convertible preferred stock to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% (or, upon election by a holder prior to issuance, 9.99%) of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock after conversion, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%. |

of directors (“Board”) approved the Silo Pharma, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) to
incentivize employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates. 170,000 shares of common stock are reserved
and available for issuance under the 2020 Plan, provided that certain exempt awards (as defined in the 2020 Plan), shall not count against
such share limit. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant, from time to time, at the discretion of the Board or a committee thereof, of cash,
stock options, including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock
units, stock appreciation units and other stock or cash-based awards. The 2020 Plan shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of the
date of adoption by the Board. Subject to certain restrictions, the Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason.
An amendment of the 2020 Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders only to the extent required by applicable

at $30,224 on the grant date using a Binomial Lattice option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of
0.75%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected term of 2 years using the simplified method and expected volatility of 115% based on historical
volatility. The Company recorded the fair value of the unvested stock options, in the amount of $30,224, as deferred compensation which
is being amortized over the vesting period.
On January 27, 2022, pursuant to an Employment
Agreement (see Note 8), an aggregate of 16,000 incentive stock options were issued under the 2020 Plan, to Dr. Kou, exercisable at $10.00
per share and expires on January 31, 2032. The stock options vest as follows: (i) 6,000 stock options upon issuance; (ii) 5,000 vests
on October 31, 2022 and; (iii) 5,000 vests on October 31, 2023. The 16,000 stock options had a fair value of $94,915 which were valued
at the grant date using a Binomial Lattice option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 1.18%, expected
dividend yield of 0%, expected term of 2 years using the simplified method and expected volatility of 117% based on historical volatility.
The Company recorded the fair value of the stock options, in the amount of $94,915, as deferred compensation which is being amortized
over the vesting period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and
2022, the Company amortized $8,474 and $60,121 of the deferred compensation which was recorded as compensation expenses in the accompanying
unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. As of June 30, 2023, the deferred compensation related to these
issuances had a balance of $5,651 and will be expensed over the next 7 months. As of December 31, 2022, the deferred compensation related
to these issuances had a balance of $14,125.

statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these
forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences
below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those factors set forth in the section entitled “Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Industry Data” and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Part II,
Item 1A.
Overview
We are a developmental stage biopharmaceutical
company focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research. We are committed to developing innovative solutions to
address a variety of underserved conditions. In these uncertain times, the mental health of the nation and beyond is being put to
the test. More than ever, creative new therapies are needed to address the health challenges of today. Combining our resources with world-class
medical research partners, we hope to make significant advances in the medical and psychedelic space.
Rare Disease Therapeutics
We seek to acquire and/or develop intellectual
property or technology rights from leading universities and researchers to treat rare diseases, including the use of psychedelic drugs,
such as psilocybin, and the potential benefits they may have in certain cases involving depression, mental health issues and neurological
disorders. We are focused on merging traditional therapeutics with psychedelic research for people suffering from indications such
as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”), Parkinson’s, and other rare neurological disorders. Our mission
is to identify assets to license and fund the research which we believe will be transformative to the well-being of patients and the health
care industry.
Psilocybin is considered a serotonergic hallucinogen
and is an active ingredient in some species of mushrooms. Recent industry studies using psychedelics, such as psilocybin, have been promising,
and we believe there is a large unmet need with many people suffering from depression, mental health issues and neurological disorders.
While classified as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act (“CSA”), there is an accumulating body of evidence
that psilocybin may have beneficial effects on depression and other mental health conditions. Therefore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(“FDA”) and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (“DEA”) have permitted the use of psilocybin in clinical studies for
the treatment of a range of psychiatric conditions.
The potential of psilocybin therapy in mental
health conditions has been demonstrated in a number of academic-sponsored studies over the last decade. In these early studies, it was
observed that psilocybin therapy provided rapid reductions in depression symptoms after a single high dose, with antidepressant effects
lasting for up to at least six months for a number of patients. These studies assessed symptoms related to depression and anxiety through
a number of widely used and validated scales. The data generated by these studies suggest that psilocybin is generally well-tolerated
and may have the potential to treat depression when administered with psychological support.
We have engaged in discussions with a number of
world-renowned educational institutions and advisors regarding potential opportunities and have formed a scientific advisory board that
is intended to help advise management regarding potential acquisition and development of products.
In addition, as more fully described below, we
have entered into a license agreement with the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and have entered into a joint venture with Zylö
Therapeutics, Inc., with respect to certain intellectual property and technology that may be used for targeted delivery of potential novel
treatments. In addition, we have recently entered into a sponsored research agreement with Columbia University pursuant to which we have
been granted an option to license certain patents and inventions relating to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and stress-induced
affective disorders using Ketamine in combination with certain other compounds.
We plan to actively pursue the acquisition and/or
development of intellectual property or technology rights to treat rare diseases, and to ultimately expand our business to focus on this
new line of business.

Recent Developments
On January 26, 2023, the Company’s Board
of Directors authorized a stock repurchase plan to repurchase up to $1,000,000 of our issued and outstanding common stock, from time to
time, with such program to be in place until December 31, 2023. Through June 30, 2023, we purchased 57,335 shares of our common stock
for a cost of $130,959 and cancelled 50,000 of these shares for a cost of $114,758.
COVID-19
The outbreak of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)
evolved into a global pandemic. The Coronavirus has spread to many regions of the world. The extent to which the Coronavirus impacts the
Company’s business and operating results will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted,
including new information that may emerge concerning the Coronavirus and the actions to contain the Coronavirus or treat its impact, among
others.
As a result of the continuing spread of the Coronavirus,
certain aspects of the Company’s business operations may be delayed or subject to interruptions. Specifically, as a result of the
shelter-in-place orders and other mandated local travel restrictions, among other things, the research and development activities of certain
of the Company’s partners may be affected, which may result in delays to the Company’s clinical trials, and the Company can
provide no assurance as to when such trials, if delayed, will resume at this time or the revised timeline to complete trials once resumed.
Furthermore, site initiation, participant recruitment
and enrollment, participant dosing, distribution of clinical trial materials, study monitoring and data analysis may be delayed due to
changes in hospital or university policies, federal, state or local regulations, prioritization of hospital resources toward pandemic
efforts, or other reasons related to the pandemic. If the Coronavirus continues to spread, some participants and clinical investigators
may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols. For example, quarantines or other travel limitations (whether voluntary or required)
may impede participant movement, affect sponsor access to study sites, or interrupt healthcare services, and the Company may be unable
to conduct its clinical trials.
Infections and deaths related to the pandemic
may disrupt the United States’ healthcare and healthcare regulatory systems. Such disruptions could divert healthcare resources
away from, or materially delay U.S. Food and Drug Administration review and/or approval with respect to the Company’s clinical trials.
It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue, were they to occur. Any elongation or de-prioritization of the Company’s
clinical trials or delay in regulatory review resulting from such disruptions could materially affect the development and study of the
Company’s product candidates.
The spread of the Coronavirus, which has caused
a broad impact globally, including restrictions on travel and quarantine policies put into place by businesses and governments, may have
a material economic effect on the Company’s business. While the potential economic impact brought by and the duration of the pandemic
may be difficult to assess or predict, it has already caused, and is likely to result in further, significant disruption of global financial
markets, which may negatively impact the Company’s ability to access capital on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, a recession,
depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the Coronavirus could materially and adversely affect
the Company’s business and the value of its common stock.
The ultimate impact of the pandemic, or any other
health epidemic, is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company does not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts
on its business, its clinical trials, its research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy as a whole. However, these effects
could have a material impact on the Company’s operations, and the Company will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Short-Term Investments
Our portfolio of short-term investments consists
of marketable debt securities which are comprised solely of that are all highly rated U.S. government securities with maturities of more
than three months, but less than one year. We classify these as available-for-sale at purchase date and will reevaluate such designation
at each period end date. We may sell these marketable debt securities prior to their stated maturities depending upon changing liquidity
requirements. These debt securities are classified as current assets in the consolidated balance sheet and recorded at fair value, with
unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive gain and as a component of the consolidated statements of comprehensive
loss. Gains and losses are recognized when realized. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are
reported in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations.
An impairment loss may be recognized when the
decline in fair value of the debt securities is determined to be other-than-temporary. The Company evaluates its investments for other-than-temporary
declines in fair value below the cost basis each quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the cost basis
of the short-term investments may not be recoverable. The evaluation is based on a number of factors, including the length of time and
the extent to which the fair value has been below the cost basis, as well as adverse conditions related specifically to the security,
such as any changes to the credit rating of the security and the intent to sell or whether the Company will more likely than not be required
to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.
On June 30, 2023, short-term investments, at fair
value, amounted to $9,829,129.
Equity Investments
On June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, equity
investments, at fair value of $0 and $3,118, respectively, comprised mainly of marketable common stock. Equity investments are carried
at fair value with unrealized gains or losses which are recorded as net unrealized gain (loss) on equity investments in the accompanying
unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are determined on a specific identification
basis which is recorded as net realized gain (loss) on equity investments in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive
loss. The Company reviews equity investments, at fair value for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there
is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered.

Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible
that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements,
which management considered in formulating its estimate could change in the near term due to one or more future events. Accordingly, the
actual results could differ significantly from estimates. Significant estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 include
the collectability of notes receivable, the percentage of completion of research and development projects, the valuation of equity investments,
estimates of the deemed dividend, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, the fair value of warrants issued with debt and for services,
and the fair value of shares issued for services and in settlements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company applies ASC Topic 606, Revenue from
Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for
revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires
an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration
to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services and also requires certain additional disclosures.
The Company records interest and dividend income
on an accrual basis to the extent that the Company expects to collect such amounts.
For the license and royalty income, revenue is
recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation based on the related license agreement. Payments received from the licensee
that are related to future periods are recorded as deferred revenue to be recognized as revenues over the term of the related license
agreement.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for based
on the requirements of ASC 718 – “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which requires recognition in the financial
statements of the cost of employee, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the
period the employee, director, or non-employee 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, director, and non-employee services received in exchange for an award
based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur as permitted under Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment.
Research and Development
In accordance with ASC 730-10, “Research
and Development-Overall,” research and development costs are expensed when incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and
Fair Value Measurements
We use the guidance of ASC Topic 820 for fair
value measurements which clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value
hierarchy to classify the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level 2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets
that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level 3-Inputs are unobservable inputs
which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability based on the best available information.
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets
for cash, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair market value based
on the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings
Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives
and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications
or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06
during the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently
issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES
ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is not required to provide the information
required by this Item as it is 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
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s
rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer
and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer
(principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined
in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s
limited resources and limited number of employees, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
as of June 30, 2023.
The ineffectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which we identified in our internal control over financial reporting:
|
● |
We lack segregation of duties within accounting functions duties as a result of our limited financial resources to support hiring of personnel. |
|
|
|
|
● |
We have not implemented adequate system and manual controls. |
A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination
of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be subject to litigation
and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings, and we are not
aware of any pending or threatened legal proceeding against us that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating
results, cash flows or financial condition.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk factors that affect our business and financial
results are discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2022 as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2023 (“Annual Report”). There have been no material changes in our risk factors from
those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially
affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional
risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or
results of operations could be negatively affected.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
