NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Cosmos Holdings Inc. (“us”, “we”, or the “Company”) is an international pharmaceutical company publicly traded with extensive and established distribution network across the EU through its subsidiaries, Decahedron (UK), Skypharm (Greece) and Cosmofarm (Greece). We are a diversified and vertically integrated broad line pharmaceutical company with our own proprietary line of branded nutraceuticals.
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. on July 21, 2009, and on November 14, 2013, we changed our name to Cosmos Holdings, Inc. Through its acquisition of Amplerissimo Ltd, on September 27, 2013, the Company changed its principal activities into trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors. On August 1, 2014, the Company formed SkyPharm S.A., a Greek Company (“SkyPharm”), a subsidiary that focuses on the trading, sourcing and distribution of pharmaceutical products. In February 2017, the Company acquired Decahedron Ltd., a UK Company (“Decahedron”) which is a fully licensed wholesaler of pharmaceutical products, and its primary activity is the distribution, import and export of pharmaceuticals.
On November 21, 2017, the Company effected a one-for-ten (1:10) reverse stock split whereby the Company decreased, by a ratio of one-for-ten (1:10) the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Proportional adjustments for the reverse stock split were made to the Company’s outstanding stock options, and warrants including all share and per-share data, for all amounts and periods presented in the consolidated financial statements.
On December 19, 2018, the Company completed the purchase of all of the capital stock of Cosmofarm Ltd., a pharmaceutical wholesaler based in Athens, Greece.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplates the continuation of the Company as a going concern. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had revenue of $56,239,667, net loss of $7,961,649 and net cash used in operations of $7,097,174. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $10,950,492, an accumulated deficit of $34,345,506, and stockholders’ equity of $4,379,463. It is management’s opinion that these conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the date of this filing.
The Company has undergone strategic review processes to help find a definitive solution to the Company’s accumulated deficit constraints. Options under consideration in the strategic review process include, but are not limited to, securing new debt, exchange debt to equity, restructuring current debt facilities from short term to long term and taking the proper actions for new fund raising.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund its operations. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to curtail development of operations.
In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by equity and/or debt financing. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described herein and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SkyPharm S.A., Decahedron Ltd. and Cosmofarm Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, SkyPharm S.A., Decahedron Ltd. and Cosmofarm Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Effects of COVID-19
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These estimates may change, as new events occur, and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is the Euro and British Pound. For financial reporting purposes, both the Euro (“EUR”) and British Pound (“GBP”) have been translated into United States dollars ($) and/or (“USD”) as the reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the reporting period. Equity transactions are translated at each historical transaction date spot rate. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)”. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss as other comprehensive income (loss). There have been no significant fluctuations in the exchange rate for the conversion of EUR or GBP to USD after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the consolidated results of operations as incurred.
As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the exchange rates used to translate amounts in Euros into USD and British Pounds into USD for the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements were as follows:
| | December 31, 2021 | | | December 31, 2020 | |
Exchange rate on balance sheet dates | | | | | | |
EUR: USD exchange rate | | | 1.1318 | | | | 1.2230 | |
GBP: USD exchange rate | | | 1.3500 | | | | 1.3662 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Average exchange rate for the period | | | | | | | | |
EUR: USD exchange rate | | | 1.1830 | | | | 1.1410 | |
GBP: USD exchange rate | | | 1.3764 | | | | 1.2829 | |

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents.
The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars and in Greece and in Bulgaria all of which are denominated in Euros. Additionally, the Company maintains a bank account in the United Kingdom denominated in British Pounds. As of December 31, 2021, the amounts in these accounts were $144,489, $101,589 and $4,061. As of December 31, 2020, the amounts in these accounts were $448,659, $134,935 and $1,651. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had cash on hand in the amount of $25,773 and $31,604, respectively.
Reclassifications to Prior Period Financial Statements and Adjustments
Certain reclassifications have been made in the Company’s financial statements of the prior period to conform to the current year presentation. $22,340 in customer deposits as of December 31, 2020, has been reclassified to other current liabilities and $502,869 was reclassified from lines of credit to lines of credit – long-term portion on the consolidated balance sheet. For the year ending December 31, 2020, $2,082,453 was reclassified from general and administrative expenses to salaries and wages on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2020, $230,505 was reclassified from customer deposits to other current liabilities and $96,237 in bad debt expenses was reclassified from accounts receivable on the consolidated statement of cash flows. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported net income.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts against gross accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables’ portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was $1,702,743 and $715,845, respectively.
Tax Receivables
The Company pays Value Added Tax (“VAT”) or similar taxes (“input VAT”), income taxes, and other taxes within the normal course of its business in most of the countries in which it operates related to the procurement of merchandise and/or services it acquires and/or on sales and taxable income. The Company also collects VAT or similar taxes on behalf of the government (“output VAT”) for merchandise and/or services it sells. If the output VAT exceeds the input VAT, this creates a VAT payable to the government. If the input VAT exceeds the output VAT, this creates a VAT receivable from the government. The VAT tax return is filed on a monthly basis offsetting the payables against the receivables. In observance of EU regulations for intra-EU cross-border sales, our subsidiaries in Greece, SkyPharm and Cosmofarm, do not charge VAT for sales to wholesale drug distributors registered in other European Union member states. The net VAT receivable is recorded in prepaid expense and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had a VAT net payable balance of $400,616 and $159,198 respectively, recorded in the consolidated balance sheet as accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value using the weighted average method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e., packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.
The Company writes down inventories to net realizable value based on physical condition, expiration date, current market conditions, as well as forecasted demand. The Company’s inventories are not highly susceptible to obsolescence. Many of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to our suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives (except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life) of the assets as follows:
| | Estimated Useful Life | |
Leasehold improvements and technical works | | | Lesser of lease term or 40 years | |
Vehicles | | | 6 years | |
Machinery | | | 20 years | |
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | | | 5–10 years | |
Computers and software | | | 3-5 years | |
Depreciation expense was $319,337 and $240,886 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC 360-10, long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no impairment of long-lived assets.
Goodwill and Intangibles, net
The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets are assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. Specifically, goodwill impairment is determined using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company’s budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
On December 19, 2018, as a result of the acquisition of Cosmofarm, the Company recorded $49,697 of goodwill.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are recorded on the basis of cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The Company uses a useful life of 5 years for an import/export license. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets annually to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining amortization period. If the estimate of the intangible asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset will be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. As of December 31, 2021, no revision to the remaining amortization period of the intangible assets was made.
Amortization expense was $33,085 and $33,176 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Equity Method Investment
For those investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. The Company records its share in the earnings of the investee and is included in “Equity earnings of affiliate” in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company assesses its investment for other-than-temporary impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment might not be recoverable and recognizes an impairment loss to adjust the investment to its then current fair value.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in equity securities are accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (loss). Equity securities are classified as short-term or long-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability to meet current operating requirements. Equity securities that are readily available for use in current operations are reported as a component of current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Equity securities that are not considered available for use in current operations would be reported as a component of long-term assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For equity securities with no readily determinable fair value, the Company elects a measurement alternative to fair value. Under this alternative, the Company measures the investments at cost, less any impairment, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in transactions for identical or similar investments of the investee. The election to use the measurement alternative is made for each eligible investment.
As of December 31, 2021, investments consisted of 3,000,000 shares, which traded at a closing price of $0 per share or a value of $0 of ICC International Cannabis Corp., 16,666 shares which traded at a closing price of $0.40 per share or value of $6,696 of National Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Company has $4,416 in equity securities of Pancreta bank, which are not publicly traded and recorded at cost. As of December 31, 2020, investments consisted of 3,000,000 shares, which traded at a closing price of $0 per share or a value of $0 of ICC International Cannabis Corp., 40,000 shares which traded at a closing price of $5.45 per share, or value of $218,183 of Diversa S.A. and 16,666 shares which traded at a closing price of $0.28 per share or value of $4,609 of National Bank of Greece. Additionally, the Company had $4,772 in equity securities of Pancreta bank, which are not publicly traded and recorded at cost. See Note 2, for additional investments in equity securities.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company applies 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 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.
COSMOS HOLDINGS, INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
ASC 820 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. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, on a recurring basis:
| | December 31, 2021 | | | Total Carrying | |
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Value | |
Marketable securities – ICC International Cannabis Corp. | | $ | - | | | | - | | | | - | | | $ | - | |

| | $ | 222,792 | | | | | | | | | | | $ | 222,792 | |
In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25, Fair Value Option, (“ASC 825-10-25”), expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.
Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value in accordance with ASC 815. When the Company enters into a financial instrument such as a debt or equity agreement (the “host contract”), the Company assesses whether the economic characteristics of any embedded features are clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the remainder of the host contract. When it is determined that (i) an embedded feature possesses economic characteristics that are not clearly and closely related to the primary economic characteristics of the host contract, and (ii) a separate, stand-alone instrument with the same terms would meet the definition of a financial derivative instrument, then the embedded feature is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative instrument. The estimated fair value of the derivative feature is recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets separately from the carrying value of the host contract. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of derivatives are recorded as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Customer Advances
The Company receives prepayments from certain customers for pharmaceutical products prior to those customers taking possession of the Company’s products. The Company records these receipts as customer advances until it has met all the criteria for recognition of revenue including passing control of the products to its customer, at such point, the Company will reduce the customer advances balance and credit the Company’s revenues.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company uses a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the promised goods to the customer. Once these steps are met, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock-based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.
The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASU 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation-Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.”
Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions
Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated.
Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net earnings.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.
The following tables show the number of the Company’s clients which contributed 10% or more of revenue and accounts receivable, respectively:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom The corporate income tax rate is 22% in Greece and 19% in United Kingdom. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.
We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has maintained a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction in which it is subject to income tax.
The Company uses a “more likely than not” criterion for recognizing the income tax benefit of uncertain tax positions and establishing measurement criteria for income tax benefits. The Company has evaluated the impact of these positions and due to the fact that the Company undergoes an annual certified audit each year in lieu of an audit by the Greek tax authorities, the Company has not taken any tax positions that warrant accrual under ASC-740-10.
Retirement and Termination Benefits
Under Greek labor law, employees are entitled to lump-sum compensation in the event of termination or retirement. The amount depends on the employee’s work experience and renumeration as of the day of termination or retirement. If an employee remains with the company until full-benefit retirement, the employee is entitled to a lump-sum equal to 40% of the compensation to be received if the employee were to be dismissed on the same day. The Company periodically reviews the uncertainties and judgements related to the application of the relevant labor law regulations to determine retirement and termination benefits obligations of its Greek subsidiaries. The Company has evaluated the impact of these regulations and has identified a potential retirement and termination benefits liability. The amount of the liability as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was $0 and $107,167, respectively, and has been recorded as a long-term liability within the consolidated balance sheets.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Basic income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, the following table reconciles basic shares outstanding to fully diluted shares outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The new guidance creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The new guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and include interim periods. The guidance is effective for all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-08 on its consolidated financial statements.
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): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Distribution and Equity Agreement
On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement”) with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

The Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement is to remain in effect indefinitely unless Marathon fails to provide Market Competitive (as defined) product pricing and Marathon has not become profitable within five (5) years of the agreement. The transaction closed on May 22, 2018, after the due diligence period, following which the Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in common shares of the Company if it fails to meet certain performance milestones. The Company is entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000. The Company was also given the right to nominate one director to the Marathon board of directors.
Marathon is an entity with no assets and no activity, the Company attributed no value to the 5 million shares in Marathon which was received as consideration for the distribution services. As described below, the Company exchanged the Marathon shares in May and July 2018.
Share Exchange Agreements
On May 17, 2018, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “SEA”) with Marathon, ICC International Cannabis Corp (“ICC”) formerly known as Kaneh Bosm Biotechnology Inc. (“KBB”) and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock. Under the SEA, the Company transferred 2.5 million shares in Marathon to ICC, a Company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a public reporting issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange, in exchange for 5 million shares of ICC. The Company accounted for the exchange at fair value and recognized a gain on exchange of its investment in Marathon of $1,953,000 included in “Gains on exchange of equity investments” in the consolidated statements of operations.
On July 16, 2018, the Company completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “New SEA”) with Marathon, ICC, and certain other sellers of Marathon capital stock whereby the Company transferred its remaining one-half interest (2.5 million shares) in Marathon to KBB for an additional 5 million shares of ICC. The Company accounted for the exchange at fair value and recognized a gain on exchange of its investment in Marathon of $2,092,200 in the year ended December 31, 2018. The ten million shares of ICC owned by the Company constituted approximately 7% of the 141,219,108 shares of capital stock of KBB then issued and outstanding. The Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over ICC.
The Company determined the fair value of both exchanges based on an actively quoted stock price of ICC received in exchange for the Marathon shares. The Company continues to fair value its investment in ICC with changes recognized in earnings each period and was recorded as an unrealized gain on exchange of investment during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $0. The value of the investments as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, was $0 and $0, respectively.
Since no value was attributed to the 33 1/3% equity ownership interest in Marathon received as consideration for the distribution services, the Company would receive variable consideration in future for its services under the Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement, if certain milestones are achieved. Refer to Note 11 for the accounting associated with the cash of CAD $2 million received upfront. Variable consideration to be received in the future upon achieving the gross sales milestones described above, is constrained as the Company estimates that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue could occur. In assessing the constraint, the Company considered its limited experience with the Products, new geographic markets and similar transactions, which affect the Company’s ability to estimate the likelihood of a probable revenue reversal. Therefore, no revenue has been recognized for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company will continue to reassess variable consideration at each reporting period and update the transaction price when it becomes probable that a significant revenue reversal would not occur.
As of December 31, 2020, in addition to the 3,000,000 ICC shares valued at $0, as noted above, marketable securities also consisted of the following: 40,000 shares which traded at a closing price of $5.45 per share, or value of $218,183 of Diversa S.A. and 16,666 shares which traded at a closing price of $0.28 per share or value of $4,609 of National Bank of Greece. The Company recorded a net unrealized loss on the fair value of these investments of $2,246 during the year ended December 31, 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the Company had fully utilized all the Greek NOL carryforwards and has an NOL of $546,683 in the UK. A valuation allowance exists for the U.S. operations, but not for the non-U.S. operations, based on a more likely than not criterion and in consideration of all available positive and negative evidence.
ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses ("NOLs"), temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is "more likely than not." Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company's history of domestic operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance, on our U.S. net domestic deferred tax assets. In 2020, foreign (Greece and United Kingdom) valuation allowances were released, aggregating $200,000. Management considered all available evidence to when evaluating the realizability of foreign deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and concluded primarily based upon a strong earnings history that these deferred tax assets were more-likely-than-not realizable.
The Company applied the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in Illinois, United States, and in foreign jurisdictions including Greece, and United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2021, all domestic tax years are open to tax authority examination due the availability of net operating loss deductions, 2010 through 2021. In Greece, the statute of limitations is open for five years, 2016 through 2021. In United Kingdom, the statute of limitations is open for four years, 2017 through 2021. Currently, there are no ongoing tax authority income tax examinations.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.7 million of undistributed earnings and profits for which no deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, since the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest such earnings to fund the international operations and certain obligations of the subsidiary. Should the above undistributed earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, the distributions would result in $350.3 thousand of tax expense.

The Company performed an analysis to determine if at least a 10% difference between the present value of the new loan’s cash flows and the present value of the old loan’s remaining cash flows and determined that yes there is more than a 10% difference. The Company will experience a cash flow increase of approximately 15% due to the modification; therefore, the cash flow is considered substantially different, and the Company has applied extinguishment accounting.
The May 2019 Note is convertible at any time by the Holder into 250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share at the rate of $6.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Price”). Upon an Event of Default (regardless of whether such event has been cured), the Buyer may convert at an alternative conversion price equal to the lower of the then applicable Conversion Price or seventy-five (75%) percent of the then Volume-Weighted Average Price (as defined, the “VWAP”). The Company considered the need for the conversion feature to be bifurcated under ASC 815 and determined that it does not meet the requirements. Additionally, the Company determined the effective conversion rate under ASC 470-20 and determined that the instrument is out of the money and no beneficial conversion feature was recorded.
The May 2019 Note is senior in right of payment to all other existing and future indebtedness of the Company except Permitted Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the May 2019 Note), including $12 million of senior secured indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries under an existing senior loan agreement, plus defined amounts of purchase money indebtedness in connection with bona fide acquisitions.

Distribution and Equity Agreement
As discussed in Note 2 above, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement with Marathon. The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products (as defined) initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. As consideration for its services, Company received: (a) a 33 1/3% equity interest or 5 million shares in Marathon as partial consideration for the Company’s distribution services; and (b) received cash of CAD $2,000,000, subject to repayment in Common Shares of the Company if it fails to meet certain performance milestones. The Company is entitled to receive an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon the Company’s receipt of gross sales of CAD $6,500,000 and an additional CAD $2,750,000 upon receipt of gross sales of CAD $13,000,000.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company attributed no value to the shares received in Marathon pursuant to (a) above. In relation to the CAD $2 million cash received noted in (b) above, the Company accounted for its obligation to issue a variable number of the Company’s Common Shares as Share-settled debt obligation in accordance with ASC 480 measured at fair value or the settlement amount of $1,554,590 (CAD $2 million). If settlement were to occur on December 31, 2021, the Company would be required to issue 431,270 common shares to settle its debt obligation. The Company could be obligated to potentially issue an unlimited number of common shares to settle its Share-settled debt obligation. If such events were to occur, the Company would be required to increase its authorized share capital and since increasing the authorized share capital is within the control of the Company, as our CEO controls greater than 50% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, the original classification of equity-classified financial instruments issued by the Company were not affected.
None of the above loans were made by any related parties.
NOTE 12 – LEASES
The Company has various lease agreements with terms up to 10 years, comprising leases of office space. Some leases include options to purchase, terminate or extend for one or more years. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The assets and liabilities from operating and finance leases are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s secured incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.
The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined using the interest rate of our long-term debt on the date of inception.
The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases is 6.6 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of 6.74%.
The Company incurred lease expense for its operating leases of $260,664 and $188,400 which was included in “General and administrative expenses,” for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company, decreased with respect to net income or increased with respect to net loss by dividends declared on preferred stock by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. The dilutive effect of incremental common shares potentially issuable under outstanding options, warrants and restricted shares is included in diluted earnings per share in 2021 and 2020 utilizing the treasury stock method. The computations of basic and diluted per share data were as follows:

Warrant Anti-Dilution Adjustment and Deemed Dividend
The Company’s warrants outstanding contain certain anti-dilution adjustments if the Company issues shares of its common stock at a lower price per share than the applicable exercise price of the underlying warrant. If any such dilutive issuance occurs prior to the exercise of such warrant, the exercise price will be adjusted downward to a price equal to the common stock issuance, and the number of warrants that may be purchase upon exercise is increased proportionately so that the aggregate exercise price payable under the warrant shares shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. On December 21, 2021, the Company issued its common stock upon conversion of its convertible debt at an issuance price of $2.02 per share. As a result, the Company issued additional warrants to the Company’s existing warrant holders to purchase 2,533,565 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.02 per share. The new warrants were issued with a weighted average contractual term of 2.04 years. The deemed dividend was recorded as an increase to accumulated deficit and additional paid-in capital and reduced net income available to common shareholders by the same amount. The Company valued (a) the fair value of the warrants immediately before the re-pricing in the amount of $1,915,077, (b) the fair value of the warrants immediately after the re-pricing in the amount of $9,548,110, and (c) recorded the difference as deemed dividend in the amount of $7,633,033. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following terms: a) fair value of common stock of $3.75, b) exercise prices of $5.00, $6.00 and $7.50 before re-pricing, c) exercise price of $2.02 after re-pricing, d) terms of 1.40 years, 1.97 years, 2.20 years and 2.26 years, e) dividend rate of 0%, and f) risk free interest rate of 0.41%.
