NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Marizyme, Inc. (the “Company” or “Marizyme”) is a Nevada corporation originally incorporated on March 20, 2007, under the name SWAV Enterprises, Ltd. On September 6, 2010, the Company name was changed to GBS Enterprises Inc. and from 2010 to September 2018 the Company was in the software products and advisory services business for email and instant messaging applications. The Company divested that business between December 2016 and September 2018 and focused on the acquisition of life science technologies.

On March 21, 2018, the Company’s name was changed to Marizyme, Inc., to reflect the new life sciences focus. Marizyme’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets’ QB tier under the symbol “MRZM”.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company, since its inception, has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $62,425,070 at September 30, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $47,823,563). Additionally, the Company has working capital of $735,525 (December 31, 2021 - $1,268,097) and $1,182,248 (December 31, 2021 - $4,072,339) of cash on hand, which may not be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing its business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention or necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to the laws and regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to successfully develop its intangible assets, receive a clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) to extend the selling of the products into the U.S. market which will allow the Company to attain profitable operations.

During the next twelve months, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continuous operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the required filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the payment of expenses associated with its product development. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private or public offerings. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to continue to develop and expand its products and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: My Health Logic Inc (“My Health Logic” or “MHL”), Somahlution, Inc. (“Somahlution”), Somaceutica, Inc. (“Somaceutica”), (collectively – “Somah”), and Marizyme Sciences, Inc. (“Marizyme Sciences”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the “2021 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to those consolidated financial statements.

Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly present the results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stockholders’ equity for the periods indicated. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Deferred Offering Cost

The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process capital stock financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the financing, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a reduction of additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering. Should a planned equity financing be abandoned, the deferred offering costs will be expensed immediately as a charge to operating expenses in the statements of operations. The Company had no deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had recorded deferred offering costs of $271,240 reported as a prepaid expense on the accompanying balance sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are related to the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination to the underlying assets and liabilities, recoverability of long-term assets including intangible assets and goodwill, amortization expense, valuation of warrants, stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, contingent liabilities and deferred tax valuations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the value of its financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible and considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The carrying amounts of certain accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable, and amounts due to related parties approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of lease obligations is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of the cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

The contingent liabilities assumed on the acquisition of Somah in 2020 consist of present values of royalty payments, performance warrants and pediatric voucher warrants, future rare pediatric voucher sales, and liquidation preference. Management measured these contingencies in accordance with Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The derivative liabilities consist of optional and automatic conversion features and the share redemption feature attached to the convertible notes, issued pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement (Note 7).

The Company has no financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. None of the Company’s non-financial assets or liabilities are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No transfers between levels have occurred during the periods presented.

Marizyme measures the following financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:

SCHEDULE OF FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table provides a roll forward of all liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs:

RECONCILIATION OF LIABILITIES AT FAIR VALUE

Research and Development Expenses and Accruals

All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred and consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, and employee benefits, for individuals involved in research and development efforts, external research and development costs incurred under agreements with contract research organizations and consultants to conduct and support the Company’s ongoing clinical trials of Duragraft, and costs related to manufacturing Duragraft for clinical trials. The Company has entered into various research and development contracts with various organizations. Payments of these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements which matches to the pattern of costs incurred. Payments made in advance are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as prepaid expenses. The Company records accruals for estimated costs incurred for ongoing research and development activities. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes progress of the services, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Significant judgments and estimates may be required in determining the prepaid or accrued balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results could differ from the Company’s estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for employees and directors is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations based on estimated amounts, including the grant date fair value and the expected service period. For stock options, the Company estimates the grant date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of multiple subjective inputs including estimated future volatility, expected forfeitures and the expected term of the awards. The Company estimate the expected future volatility based on the stock’s historical price volatility. The stock’s future volatility may differ from the estimated volatility at the grant date. For restricted stock unit (“RSU”) equity awards, the Company estimates the grant date fair value using it’s closing stock price on the date of grant. The Company recognizes the effect of forfeitures in compensation expense when the forfeitures occur. The estimated forfeiture rates may differ from actual forfeiture rates which would affect the amount of expense recognized during the period. The Company recognizes the value of the awards over the awards’ requisite service or performance periods. The requisite service period is generally the time over which share-based awards vest.

Comparative Information

To conform with the current period’s financial statement presentation, the Company reclassified certain professional fees, salaries, rent and repairs and maintenance expenses related to research and development activities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, into the research and development expenses line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such reclassifications were not considered material and did not have any effect on the Company’s net loss for the three- and nine- month periods ended September 30, 2021.

NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION

My Health Logic Inc.

On November 1, 2021, Marizyme entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Health Logic Interactive Inc. (“HLII”) pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of My Health Logic, a wholly owned subsidiary of HLII, in exchange for common shares of Marizyme (the “Marizyme Shares”).

Marizyme is dedicated to the acceleration, development and commercialization of medical technologies that promote patient health, therefore a strategic decision was made to acquire My Health Logic, which has provided Marizyme with access to MHL’s lab-on-chip technology platform and its patient-centric, digital point-of-care diagnostic device, MATLOC 1; and allowed for further growth and development of Marizyme’s portfolio of medical products.

On December 22, 2021, Marizyme received the necessary regulatory, court and stock exchange approval to complete the acquisition of MHL resulting in a total of 4,600,000 Common Shares issued to HLII; 230,000 of these shares are being held and administered by Marizyme to be released to HLII, less any amounts claimed by Marizyme or its affiliates for any losses arising out of certain breaches as set out in the acquisition agreement. This resulted in HLII holding approximately 11.35% of the total number of issued and outstanding Marizyme Shares (based on 40,528,188 Marizyme Shares issued and outstanding immediately after closing).

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10 the substance of a transaction constitutes a business combination as the business of My Health Logic Inc. meets the definition of a business under the standard. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price was based on management’s estimate of fair value of the common shares issued.

According to ASC 805 the acquirer has a year from the date of acquisition to recognize measurement period adjustments. While Marizyme does not expect the carrying amount, the fair value, and the estimated useful life of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, provided below, to change, the tax basis related to these intangible assets is not final and remains preliminary at September 30, 2022.

Details of the carrying amount and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and purchase consideration paid were as follows:

SCHEDULE OF PRELIMINARY ALLOCATION OF CONSIDERATION

As a result of the My Health Logic acquisition, the Company acquired its lab-on-chip technology platform, its patient-centric, digital point-of-care diagnostic device - MATLOC 1 as well as patents rights and trademarks relating to it. In addition, the Company acquired ownership rights to MATLOC patents issued in the European Union, Canada, and the United States.

The intangible assets acquired include:

As part of the acquisition, Marizyme assumed an aggregate of $468,137 in notes payable, the notes were unsecured, bore interest at a rate of 9% per annum with no maturity date. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, Marizyme recognized $4,538 and $15,124 of interest expense on the notes payable, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $Nil and $Nil, respectively). The Company settled an aggregate of $278,678 of these notes payable as part of Unit Purchase Agreement issuances during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (Note 7). As of September 30, 2022, balance of the remaining note payable was $213,563 (December 31, 2021 - $469,252).

Goodwill is attributed to the workforce and profitability of the acquired business and is not deductible for tax purposes. A residual method methodology was used to estimate the fair market value goodwill. A pre-tax discount rate based on weighted average cost of capital of 37.5% was used in the fair value assumptions for the assembled workforce acquired.

Pro-forma revenue, net income/(loss), and earnings per share are not presented for this acquisition as they are not material.

NOTE 5 – LEASES

On December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a 5.5 - year lease agreement for approximately 10,300 square feet of administrative office and laboratories space, which commenced in December 2020 at a monthly rent of approximately $10,800, increasing by 2.5% annually beginning in the second year of the lease until the end of the term. Additionally, pursuant to the agreement, the Company would pay approximately $12,000 per month in operating expenses.

Effective April 1, 2022, the Company amended its lease agreement for administrative office and laboratories to add additional 3,053 square feet of space. The monthly cost of total expended lease space is approximately $15,260 increasing to $15,641 in 2023 and will continue to increase by 2.5% annually thereafter until the end of the term. The monthly operating expenses for total expanded premises have increased from approximately $12,000 to $17,500 per month. The term of the lease remains unchanged. As of September 30, 2022, the remaining lease term was 3.83 years. The lease had been classified as an operating lease.

The assets and liabilities from the lease were recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate of 3.95%, which is the average commercial interest available at the time.

The total rent expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $103,291 and $324,544, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $77,357 and $168,769, respectively).

The following table summarizes supplemental balance sheet information related to the operating lease as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

SCHEDULE OF RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET AND RELATED LEASE LIABILITIES

NOTE 6 – INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Krillase

As part of the asset acquisition of ACB Holding AB, Reg. No. 559119-5762, completed on September 12, 2018, Marizyme acquired all rights, titles, and interest in the Krillase technology, a group of intangible assets worth $28,600,000. Krillase is a naturally occurring enzyme that acts to break protein bonds and has applications in wound debridement, wound healing, dental care and thrombosis. The useful lives of the intangible assets are based on the life of the patent and related technology. The patents and related technology for Krillase have not been amortized since the acquisition, as they have not yet been put into operations. The Company expects to put Krillase into operations and establish the first stream of revenue from the sale of the product in 2023.

DuraGraft

As part of Somah acquisition in 2020, Marizyme purchased $18,170,000 of intangible assets related to the DuraGraft® technology.

My Health Logic

As part of My Health Logic acquisition (see Note 4), Marizyme purchased MHL’s lab-on-chip technology platform and its patient-centric, digital point-of-care diagnostic device, MATLOC, fair valued at an aggregate amount of $6,600,000.

 SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS AMORTIZATION EXPENSE

The following changes to the Company’s intangible assets had taken place in the periods indicated:

 SCHEDULE OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Future amortizations for Duragraft and My Health Logic intangible assets for the next five years will be $841,172 for each year from 2023 through 2027 and $6,700,706 for 2028 and thereafter. Amortization related to the Krillase product and in process research and development will be determined upon the Company achieving commercialization.

NOTE 7 - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS

May 2021 Unit Purchase Agreement

On May 27, 2021, Marizyme entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement to sell up to 4,000,000 units (the ‘Units’) at a price per Unit of $2.50. Each Unit is comprised of (i) a convertible promissory note convertible into common stock of the Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (the ‘Class A Warrant’); and (iii) a second warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the “Class B Warrant”).

In May 2021, the Company issued and sold 29,978 Units at a price of $2.50 per Unit for gross proceeds of $74,945, consisting of Notes of $74,945, Class A Warrants for the purchase of 29,978 shares of common stock and Class B Warrants for the purchase of 29,978 shares of common stock. The Company incurred related issuance costs of $6,745 which will be amortized over the term of the Notes.

In July 2021, the Company issued and sold 440,000 Units under the Unit Purchase Program for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. The Units included Notes for $1,100,000, Class A Warrants for 440,000 shares of common stock and Class B Warrants for 440,000 shares of common stock.

September 2021 Amended Unit Purchase Agreement

On September 29, 2021, due to a lower common stock price, the Company, with the consent of all Unit holders, amended the May 2021 Unit Agreements. By rescinding their investment, the Unit holders agreed to amend the Unit Purchase Agreement resulted in the following significant changes to the offering:

December 2021 Unit Purchase Agreement

On December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “December UPA”) to sell up to 9,714,286 Units at a price per unit of $1.75. Each Unit is comprised of (i) a convertible promissory note convertible into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $1.75 and, (ii) a warrant to purchase two shares of Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $2.25 per share (the new Class C Warrant). Under this December UPA, the Company issued and sold 3,438,572 Units at a per unit purchase price of $1.75, for gross proceeds of $6,000,000. Coinciding with this December UPA, the Company also entered into an Exchange Agreement with the existing Unit holders (the December 2021 Exchange Agreements, as further described below).

December 2021 Exchange Agreements

On December 21, 2021, in conjunction with a $6.0 million investment, the Company and the existing Unit holders agreed to exchange the original securities (“Old Securities”) held by the current investors/unit holders for New Securities, consisting of (i) a New Note in the principal amount equal to the original principal amount of the Original Note, plus all accrued interest through the day prior to December 21, 2021, and (ii) a New Warrant (new Class C Warrants) in exchange for the original Class C Warrants. The Exchange of the Original Securities for the New Securities included the following significant changes:

The Company determined that the terms of the New Securities were substantially different from the Original Securities, and, as such the exchange of the Original Securities for the New Securities was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt on December 21, 2021, and the New Securities accounted for as a new debt issuance.

As a result of this substantial modification, the total of 621,087 Units previously issued were replaced with an aggregate of 832,022 pro-rata Units.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued additional 4,180,071 units under the New Securities agreement for the gross proceeds of $7,315,138. Of the total 4,180,071 Units issued: (i) 159,245 Units were issued to settle notes payable assumed on acquisition of My Health Logic (see Note 4), (ii) 22,857 Units were issued to settle accounts payable, and (iii) 171,428 Units were issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company determined that the optional and automatic conversion feature and the share redemption feature attached to the convertible notes meet the definition of derivative liabilities and that the detachable warrants issued do not meet the definition of a liability and therefore will be accounted for as an equity instrument.

The fair value of the warrants issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, of $4,341,042 (December 31, 2021 - $4,299,649) and the fair value of derivative liabilities of $2,438,379 issued (December 31, 2021 - $2,485,346) have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest and accretion expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Notes.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized interest and accretion expense of $805,849 and $1,622,730, respectively (September 30, 2021 - $70,221 and $74,410, respectively) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For the months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following convertible notes, net of debt discount outstanding:

SCHEDULE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 SCHEDULE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES NET OF DEBT DISCOUNT

Convertible Notes Terms

The Convertible Notes mature in 24 months from the initial closing date and accrue 10% of simple interest per annum on the outstanding principal amount. The Convertible Notes principal and accrued interest can be converted at any time at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $1.75 per share (previously $2.25 per the September 2021 Amendment and originally $2.50 per the May Unit Purchase Agreement). In the event the Company consummates, while the Convertible Note is outstanding, an equity financing with a gross aggregate amount of securities sold of not less than $10,000,000 (“Qualified Financing”), then all outstanding principal, together with all unpaid accrued interest under the Convertible Notes, shall automatically convert into shares of the equity financing at the lesser of (i) 75% of the cash price per share paid in the financing and the conversion price of $1.75 per unit. The Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in all assets of the Company.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

a) Preferred stock

The Company is authorized to issue a total number of 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with a par value of $0.001. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

b) Common stock

The Company is authorized to issue a total number of 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.

On August 1, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Marizyme approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized and outstanding common stock at a ratio of 1-for-4. On August 3, 2022, the Company effected the reverse stock split by filing a Certificate of Change with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. As a result, the total number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder was converted automatically into the number of whole shares of common stock equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock held by such stockholder immediately prior to the reverse stock split, divided by four, subject to rounding of fractional shares. The Company expects that the reverse stock split will be reflected in the trading price of the common stock after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) completes its processing of the reverse stock split, which is expected to be the date on which the common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier operated by Nasdaq in the event that the Company’s listing application to Nasdaq is approved.

As a result of the reverse stock split, there are approximately 10,207,212 shares of common stock outstanding, not including the shares of common stock included in the units that the Company expects to issue in this public offering or upon any exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or of any warrants included in the units issued to investors or of the representative’s warrant. No fractional shares have been or will be issued, and no cash or other consideration has been or will be paid. Instead, the Company issued one whole share of the post-reverse stock split common stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the reverse stock split. The Company’s existing shareholders’ percentage ownership interests in the Company remains the same following the reverse stock split (subject to rounding of fractional shares). 

As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, there were 40,828,188 and 40,528,188 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company issued 300,000 shares of common stock for exercise of warrants.

c) Options

On May 18, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Marizyme, Inc. Amended and Restated 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (“SIP”). The SIP incorporates stock options issued prior to May 18, 2021. The SIP authorized 5,300,000 options for issuance. As of September 30, 2022, there remains 1,024,057 options available for issuance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company granted 400,000 (December 31, 2021 – 1,532,500) share purchase options to directors of the Company.
