PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
History
 
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006 under the name “Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc.” Until October 2009, our business was to provide management consulting with regard to accounting, computer and general business issues for small and home-office based companies.
 
In October 2009, we acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., a Colorado corporation holding an exclusive license to a new anticancer drug bearing the laboratory name, Adva-27a. As a result of this transaction we changed our name to “Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and our officers and directors resigned their positions with us and were replaced by Sunshine’s management at the time, including our current CEO, Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, and our current CFO, Camille Sebaaly each of whom remain part of our current management. Our principal business became that of a pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of our licensed Adva-27a anticancer compound. In December 2015 we acquired all issued and pending patents pertaining to our Adva-27a technology and terminated the license. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business - Intellectual Property,” below for a more detailed explanation of this acquisition.
 
In July 2014, we formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), for the purposes of offering generic pharmaceutical products in Canada and elsewhere around the world. In April and June 2016 Sunshine Canada signed licensing agreements for four (4) generic prescription drugs for the treatment of breast cancer, prostate cancer and BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia).
 
In January 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Atlas Pharma Inc., a Health Canada certified company dedicated to chemical analysis of pharmaceutical and other industrial samples.
 
In March 2018, we formed NOX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned Colorado corporation and assigned all of our interest in our Adva-27a anticancer compound to that company.
 
In December 2018, we launched our first over-the-counter Essential Brandtm product, Essential 9tm, a dietary supplement comprised of the nine amino acids which the human body cannot synthesize. Essential 9tm has been authorized for marketing by Health Canada under NPN 80089663.
 
Effective February 1, 2019, we completed a 20 to 1 reverse split of our $0.001 par value Common Stock reducing the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from 1,713,046,242 to 85,652,400 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references in this report to our issued and outstanding Common Stock as well as the price per share of Common Stock are presented on a post Reverse Stock Split basis.
 
Our principal place of business is located at 6500 Trans-Canada Highway, 4th Floor, Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada H9R 0A5. Our phone number is (514) 426-6161 and our website address is www.sunshinebiopharma.com.

Business Operations
 
As of the date of this report our operations include the following:
  
Proprietary Drug Development Operations
 
Since inception, our proprietary drug development activities have been focused on the development of a small molecule called Adva-27a for the treatment of aggressive forms of cancer. A Topoisomerase II inhibitor, Adva-27a has been shown to be effective at destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer cells including Pancreatic Cancer cells, Breast Cancer cells, Small-Cell Lung Cancer cells and Uterine Sarcoma cells (Published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, Volume 32, Pages 4423-4432, October 2012). Sunshine Biopharma is direct owner of all issued and pending worldwide patents pertaining to Adva-27a including U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business - Intellectual Property.”
 
Figure 1
 
Adva-27a is a GEM-difluorinated C-glycoside derivative of Podophyllotoxin (see Figure 1). Another derivative of Podophyllotoxin called Etoposide is currently on the market and is used to treat various types of cancer including leukemia, lymphoma, testicular cancer, lung cancer, brain cancer, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer and several other forms of cancer. Etoposide is one of the most widely used anticancer drugs. Adva-27a and Etoposide are similar in that they both attack the same target in cancer cells, namely the DNA unwinding enzyme, Topoisomerase II. Unlike Etoposide, and other anti-tumor drugs currently in use, Adva-27a is able to destroy Multidrug Resistant Cancer cells. Adva-27a is the only compound known today that is capable of destroying Multidrug Resistant Cancer. In addition, Adva-27a has been shown to have distinct and more desirable biological and pharmacological properties compared to Etoposide. In side-by-side studies using Multidrug Resistant Breast Cancer cells and Etoposide as a reference, Adva-27a showed markedly greater cell killing activity (see Figure 2).
 
 
Figure 2

 Our preclinical studies to date have shown that:
 
Adva-27a is effective at killing different types of Multidrug Resistant cancer cells, including Pancreatic Cancer Cells (Panc-1), Breast Cancer Cells (MCF-7/MDR), Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells (H69AR), and Uterine Sarcoma Cells (MES-SA/Dx5).
 
Adva-27a is unaffected by P-Glycoprotein, the enzyme responsible for making cancer cells resistant to anti-tumor drugs.
   
Adva-27a has excellent clearance time (half-life = 54 minutes) as indicated by human microsomes stability studies and pharmacokinetics data in rats.
 
Adva-27a clearance is independent of Cytochrome P450, a mechanism that is less likely to produce toxic intermediates.
 
Adva-27a is an excellent inhibitor of Topoisomerase II with an IC50 of only 13.7 micromolar (this number has recently been reduce to 1.44 micromolar as a result of resolving the two isomeric forms of Adva-27a).
 
Adva-27a has shown excellent pharmacokinetics profile as indicated by studies done in rats.
 
Adva-27a does not inhibit tubulin assembly.
 
These and other preclinical data have been published in ANTICANCER RESEARCH, a peer-reviewed International Journal of Cancer Research and Treatment. The publication which is entitled “Adva-27a, a Novel Podophyllotoxin Derivative Found to Be Effective Against Multidrug Resistant Human Cancer Cells” [ANTICANCER RESEARCH 32: 4423-4432 (2012)] is available on our website at www.sunshinebiopharma.com.
 
We have been delayed in our clinical development program due to lack of funding. Our fund raising efforts are continuing and as soon as adequate financing is in place we will continue our clinical development program of Adva-27a by conducting the following next sequence of steps:
 
GMP Manufacturing of 2 kilogram for use in IND-Enabling Studies and Phase I Clinical Trials
IND-Enabling Studies
Regulatory Filing (Fast-Track Status Anticipated)
Phase I Clinical Trials (Pancreatic Cancer Indication)
 
Adva-27a’s initial indication will be Pancreatic Cancer for which there are currently little or no treatment options available. We are planning to conduct our clinical trials at McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal, Canada. All aspects of the clinical trials in Canada will employ FDA standards at all levels.

According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.5 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. each year.  While particularly effective against Multidrug Resistant Cancer, we believe Adva-27a can potentially treat all cancer types as it is general chemotherapy drug. We believe that upon successful completion of Phase I Clinical Trials we may receive one or more offers from large pharmaceutical companies to buyout or license our drug.  However, there are no assurances that our Phase I Trials will be successful, or if successful, that any pharmaceutical companies will make an acceptable offer to us.  In the event we do not consummate such a transaction, we will require significant capital in order to manufacture and market our new drug. The following, Figure 3, is a space-filling molecular model of our Adva-27a.

Generic Pharmaceuticals Operations
 
In 2016, our Canadian wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), signed Licensing Agreements with a major pharmaceutical company for four prescription generic drugs for the treatment of Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Enlarged Prostate. We have since been working towards commencement of marketing of these pharmaceutical products under our own, Sunshine Biopharma, label. These four generic products are as follows:
 
Anastrozole (brand name Arimidex® by AstraZeneca) for treatment of Breast Cancer;
Letrozole (brand name Femara® by Novartis) for treatment of Breast Cancer;
Bicalutamide (brand name Casodex® by AstraZeneca) for treatment of Prostate Cancer;
Finasteride (brand name Propecia® by Merck) for treatment of BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia)
 
Sunshine Canada is currently in the process of securing a Drug Identification Number (“DIN”) for each of these products from Health Canada. We are planning to use part of the already approved Atlas Pharma Inc. space as a drug warehouse to facilitate the process of obtaining a Drug Establishment License (“DEL”) from Health Canada. Upon receipt of the DEL and DIN’s, we will be able to accept orders for our own label SBI-Anastrozole, SBI-Letrozole, SBI-Bicalutamide and SBI-Finasteride. We cannot estimate the timing in our obtaining either the DIN’s or the DEL due to variables involved that are out of our control. Figure 4 below shows our 30-Pill blister pack of Anastrozole.
 
 
Figure 4
 
We currently have a number of additional Generic Pharmaceuticals under review for in-licensing. While no assurances can be provided that we will acquire the rights to all or any of these drugs, we are confident we will acquire most, if not all of these rights. We believe that a larger product portfolio will provide us with more opportunities and a greater reach into the marketplace. We hope to further build our generics portfolio of “SBI” label Generic Pharmaceuticals over time. There are no assurances this will occur.
  
Various publicly available sources indicate that the worldwide sales of generic pharmaceuticals are approximately $200 billion per year. In the United States and Canada, the sales of generic pharmaceuticals are approximately $50 billion and $5 billion, respectively. The generic pharmaceuticals business is fairly competitive and there are several multinational players in the field including Teva (Israel), Novartis - Sandoz (Switzerland), Hospira (USA), Mylan (Netherlands), Sanofi (France), Fresenius Kabi (Germany) and Apotex (Canada). While no assurances can be provided, with our offering of Canadian approved products we believe that we will be able to access at least a small percentage of the generic pharmaceutical marketplace.
  
While no assurances can be provided and subject to the availability of adequate financing, of which there is no assurance, we anticipate that profits from the sales of Generic Products will be used to finance our proprietary drug development program, including Adva-27a, our flagship anticancer compound. In addition to near-term revenue generation, building the generics business infrastructure and securing the proper permits will render us appropriately positioned for the marketing and distribution of our proprietary Adva-27a drug candidate, provided that Adva-27a is approved for such marketing and distribution, of which there can be no assurance.

 Analytical Chemistry Services Operations
 
On January 1, 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Atlas Pharma Inc. (“Atlas”). The purchase price was $848,000 Canadian (approximately $676,748 US). Payment of the purchase price was comprised of (i) a cash payment of $100,500 Canadian (approximately $80,300 US); (ii) the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of our Common Stock, and (iii) a promissory note in the principal amount of $450,000 Canadian (approximately $360,000 US), with interest payable at the rate of 3% per annum. We are required to make payments of $10,000 Canadian (approximately $8,000 US) per calendar quarter, due and payable on or before the end of each such calendar quarter through December 31, 2023.
 
Atlas is a Health Canada certified company dedicated to chemical analysis of pharmaceutical and other industrial samples. Atlas has 9 full-time employees and generated revenues of $580,558 and $598,109 Canadian (approximately $464,000 and $478,000 US) in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Housed in a 5,250 square foot facility, Atlas’s operations are authorized by a Drug Establishment License (DEL) issued by Health Canada and are fully compliant with the requirements of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). Atlas is also registered with the FDA. Atlas Pharma Inc.’s website address is www.atlaspharmainc.ca.
 
In June 2018, we acquired testing and other laboratory equipment as part of our plan to expand Atlas’ business operations. Part of the expansion will include hiring additional technical and sales personnel and offering microbiology and other sample testing capabilities.
 
Dietary Supplements Operations
 
In 2018, we completed the development of Essential 9tm, the first in a line of essential micronutrients products that we are planning to launch. On December 14, 2018, Health Canada issued NPN 80089663 through which it authorized Sunshine Biopharma Inc. to manufacture and sell the Essential 9tm product. Our Essential 9tm dietary supplement tablets contain a balanced formula of the 9 essential amino acids that the human body cannot make. Essential Amino Acids are 9 out of the 20 amino acids required for protein synthesis. Proteins are involved in all body functions – From the musculature and immune system to hormones and neurotransmitters. Like vitamins, Essential Amino Acids cannot be made by the human body and must be obtained through diet. Deficiency in one or more of the 9 Essential Amino Acids can lead to loss of muscle mass, fatigue, weight gain and reduced ability to build muscle mass in athletes. Sunshine Biopharma’s Essential 9tm provides all 9 Essential Amino Acids in freeform and in the proportions recommended by Health Canada. In addition to our own website, Essential 9tm is available on Amazon and other outlets. Figure 5 below shows our 60-Tablet Essential 9tm product.

Intellectual Property
 
Effective October 8, 2015, we executed a patent purchase agreement, with Advanomics Corporation (“Advanomics”), a related party, pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a.  On December 28, 2015, we executed a second patent purchase agreement, with Advanomics, pursuant to which we acquired all of the right, title and interest in and to all of the remaining worldwide rights covered by issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 for our anticancer compound, Adva-27a (“Patent Purchase Agreements”).
 
Effective December 28, 2015, we entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) of these Patent Purchase Agreements pursuant to which the total purchase price was reduced from $17,142,499 to $618,810, the book value of this intellectual property on the financial statements of Advanomics.  Further, the Amendments provided for automatic conversion of the promissory notes representing the new purchase price into an aggregate of 16,065,271 shares of our Common Stock once we increased our authorized capital such that these shares can be issued. In July 2016 we increased our authorized capital and issued the 16,065,271 Common Shares to Advanomics thereby completing all aspects of the patent purchase arrangements and securing direct ownership of all worldwide patents and rights pertaining to Adva-27a.
 
In 2016 we signed Licensing Agreements with a major pharmaceutical company for four (4) prescription generic drugs for the treatment of Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Enlarged Prostate. These agreements give us the right to register the four (4) generic products, Anastrozole, Letrozole, Bicalutamide and Finasteride in Canada under our own label and obtain a DIN for each in order to be able to place them on the market.
 
Our new wholly owned subsidiary, Atlas Pharma Inc., which we acquired on January 1, 2018 holds a Drug Establishment License from Health Canada and is registered with the FDA. Atlas Pharma Inc. is the owner of a relatively large portfolio of analytical chemistry methodology and Standard Operating Procedure. This intellectual property is protected as company secrets and controlled through employee and management confidentiality agreements.
 
In 2018 we completed the development of Essential 9tm, our first dietary supplement. On December 14, 2018, Health Canada issued NPN 80089663 through which it authorized Sunshine Biopharma Inc. to manufacture and sell the Essential 9tm product. We are currently preparing the necessary documents for registration of our Essential 9tm trademark in the United States.
  
Government Regulations
 
All of our business operations, including the Proprietary Drug Development Operations, the Generic Pharmaceutical Operations, the Analytical Chemistry Services Operations, and Dietary Supplements Operations are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations.
 
In the U.S, the Federal Government agency responsible for regulating drugs and dietary supplements is the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Canadian counterpart to the FDA is Health Canada. Both the FDA and Health Canada have similar requirements for drugs and supplements to be approved for marketing. In Canada, drugs and dietary supplements are authorized through the issuance by Health Canada of a Drug Identification Number (DIN) and a Natural Product Number (NPN) on a per product basis, respectively. In both the U.S. and Canada, the quality standards for brand name drugs and generic drugs are the same. In addition, the ingredients, manufacturing processes and facilities for all drugs and supplements must meet the guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”). Moreover, all drug manufacturers must perform a series of tests, both during and after production, to show that every drug batch made meets the regulatory requirements for that product.
  
In connection with our development of the new chemical entity, Adva-27a, we will be subject to significant regulations in the U.S. in order to obtain approval of the FDA to offer our product on the market.  The approximate procedure for obtaining FDA approval involves an initial filing of an IND application following which the FDA would give the go ahead for the drug sponsor to proceed with Phase I clinical (human) trials.  Following completion of Phase I, the results are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase II.  Similarly, following completion of Phase II the data are filed with the FDA and a request is made to proceed to Phase III.  Following completion of Phase III, a request is made for marketing approval.  Depending on various issues and considerations, the FDA could provide limited marketing approval for “compassionate-use” if the drug treats terminally ill patients with limited other treatment options available.  As of the date of this Report we have not made any filings with the FDA or other regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions.  We have however had discussions with clinicians at the McGill University’s Jewish General Hospital in Montreal where we plan to undertake our Phase I study for pancreatic cancer and they believe that Health Canada is likely to grant us a so-called “fast-track” process on the basis of the terminal nature of the cancer type we will be treating.  There are no assurances this will occur.
 
 
9
 
 
Employees
 
As of the date of this Report we have a total of twelve (12) employees. In addition to our management which comprises three (3) employees, our new wholly owned subsidiary acquired on January 1, 2018, Atlas Pharma Inc., has 9 employees. We anticipate that if we receive financing we will need additional employees in both our generic pharmaceuticals and proprietary drug development operations including accounting, regulatory affairs, marketing, sales and laboratory personnel.
 
Competition
 
In the area of proprietary anticancer drug development, we are competing with large publicly and privately held companies engaged in developing new cancer therapies. There are numerous other entities engaged in this business that have greater resources, both financial and otherwise, than the resources presently available to us.  Nearly all major pharmaceutical companies including Amgen, Roche, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Novartis, to name a few, have on-going anticancer drug development programs and some of the drugs they may develop could be in direct competition with our own.  Also, a number of small companies are also working in the area of cancer and could develop drugs that may be in competition with ours.  However, none of these competitor companies can use molecules similar to ours as they would be infringing our patents.
 
The generic pharmaceuticals business is fairly competitive and there are many players in the field including several multinationals such as Teva (Israel), Novartis - Sandoz (Switzerland), Hospira (USA), Mylan (Netherlands), Sanofi (France), Fresenius Kabi (Germany) and Apotex (Canada)with annual sales in the range of approximately $2 billion to over $10. With our offering of Canadian approved generic products, we believe that we will be able to access at least a small percentage of the generic pharmaceuticals market.
 
Our analytical chemistry services business is also subject to significant competition. This competition however is entirely regional as only entities operating in Canada require Health Canada certified testing of their industrial samples. There are several local service providers operating in the same sector as ours which prevents us from obtaining greater value added for our services. We believe we have managed to secure an advantage over the completion by offering our clients faster turnaround.
 
Similarly, our Essential 9tm, together with our planned line of dietary supplement fall directly within a very crowded and highly competitive product sector. As of the date of this Report, Essential 9tm is the only Essential Amino Acid product that comprises all 9 essential amino acids in tablet form. We believe this will provide us with a competitive advantage, at least for the near future.
 
Trademarks-Tradenames
 
We are the exclusive owner of all worldwide rights pertaining to Adva-27a covered by PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029.  The patent applications filed under PCT/FR2007/000697 have been issued in Europe, Canada, the United States (8,236,935) and India.  The patent application filed in the U.S. under PCT/CA2014/000029 has recently been allowed. The remaining international patent applications filed under the same PCT are still pending.
 
We are also the owner of Licensing Agreements for four (4) generic drugs which we are planning to market and sell under the tradenames SBI-Anastrozole, SBI-Letrozole, SBI-Bicalutamide and SBI-Finasteride.
 
Our newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, Atlas Pharma Inc. holds Drug Establishment License Number 102041 issued by Health Canada.
 
In 2018 we completed the development of Essential 9tm, our first dietary supplement product. On December 14, 2018, Health Canada issued NPN 80089663 through which it authorized us to manufacture and sell the Essential 9tm product. We are currently preparing the necessary documents for registration of our Essential 9tm product and trademark in the United States in 2019.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 
During the first half of 2017, our principal place of business was located at 469 Jean-Talon West, 3rd Floor, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, H3N 1R4.  On June 1, 2017 we moved our principal place of business to our current location at 6500 Trans-Canada Highway, 4th Floor, Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada H9R 0A5. We pay a minimum monthly rate of $227 (Canadian), including tax, for this location. Pursuant to our lease agreement our landlord is able to provide us with increased office space for additional fees as may be requested by us from time to time.
 
Our newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, Atlas Pharma Inc. leases an office and laboratory space at 7582 Chemin Cote-de-Liesse, Montréal, Quebec, Canada H4T 1E7. The lease expires on May 21, 2021. Minimum lease payments for the next remaining three (3) years are Canadian $62,213 (approximataely $47,904 US) in 2019, $62,213 (approximately $47,904 US) in 2020, and $25,921 (approximately $19,959 US) in 2021.
 
We believe that our existing facilities and equipment are adequate. We continuously review our anticipated requirements for facilities and equipment, and on the basis of that review, may from time to time acquire or lease additional facilities or equipment, or dispose of some of the existing space or equipment.
 
ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In November 2014, we entered into a Manufacturing Services Agreement with Lonza Ltd. and Lonza Sales Ltd. (hereinafter jointly referred to as “Lonza”), whereby we engaged Lonza to be the manufacturer of our Adva-27a anticancer drug. In June 2016 we received a sample of the pilot manufacturing run for evaluation. Our laboratory analyses showed that, while the sample meets all of the required chemical, physical and biological specifications, the amount of material generated (the “Yield”) by the pilot run was found to be significantly lower than anticipated. We are currently working towards finding possible solutions to increase the Yield and define a path forward. During the course of our discussions concerning the problem of the low Yield, Lonza informed us that they required us to pay them $687,818 prior to moving forward with any activity pertaining to the manufacturing agreement we have with them. We have repeatedly indicated to Lonza that a clear path defining exactly how the extremely low Yield issue would be addressed is imperative prior to us making any payments. We issued a letter to them in June 2017 advising of our position. As of the date of this Report we have not received a response to our letter and no further action has been taken by either party.
 
In June 2018 we filed an action in the Superior Court of the Province of Quebec in the District of Montreal (Canada) against one of our existing shareholders residing in Quebec City (Canada) arising out of a possible equity investment intended to be completed by August 2018. The complaint alleges among other things, claims of misrepresentations and misleading conduct resulting in damages to us in an amount of approximately $200,000 Canadian (approximately $154,000 US). As of the date of this report we are awaiting a court date for the hearings to commence.
 
To the best of our management’s knowledge and belief, there are no other material claims that have been brought against us nor any claims threatened.

Market Information
 
Trading of our Common Stock commenced on the OTCBB in September 2007 under the symbol “MWBN.”  Effective November 30, 2009, the trading symbol for our Common Stock was changed to “SBFM” as a result of our name change discussed above.
 
In the third quarter of 2016 our Common Stock began trading on OTC Pink (otcmarkets.com) because the price of our stock had dropped below $0.01 per share.
 
Effective February 1, 2019 we completed a 20 to 1 reverse split of our Common Stock, reducing the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from 1,713,046,242 to 85,652,400 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). 
 
The table below sets forth the reported high and low transaction prices for the periods indicated taking into account and giving retroactive effect to the Reverse Stock Split.

As of April 11, 2019, the closing bid price of our Common Stock was $0.012 per share.
 
Trading volume in our Common Stock varies between a few thousand shares to several hundred thousand shares per day.  As a result, the trading price of our Common Stock is subject to significant fluctuations.
 
The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission” or “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
 
As of the date of this Report, our Common Stock is defined as a “penny stock” under the Securities and Exchange Act.  It is anticipated that our Common Stock will remain a penny stock for the foreseeable future.  The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment.  Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act.  Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
 
 
12
 
 
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
 
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
 
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
 
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
 
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
 
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
 
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;
 
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
 
the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
 
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
 
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
 
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
 
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.  These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules.  Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.
 
Holders
 
We had 147 holders of record of our Common Stock as of the date of this Report, not including those persons who hold their shares in “street name.”

Dividends
 
We have not paid any dividends since our incorporation and do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

Overview and History
 
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on August 31, 2006 under the name “Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc.” Until October 2009, our business was to provide management consulting with regard to accounting, computer and general business issues for small and home-office based companies.
 
In October 2009, we acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., a Colorado corporation holding an exclusive license to a new anticancer drug bearing the laboratory name, Adva-27a. As a result of this transaction we changed our name to “Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and our officers and directors resigned their positions with us and were replaced by Sunshine’s management at the time, including our current CEO, Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, and our current CFO, Camille Sebaaly each of whom remain part of our current management. Our principal business became that of a pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of our licensed Adva-27a anticancer compound. In December 2015 we acquired all issued and pending patents pertaining to our Adva-27a technology and terminated the license. See “Part I, Item 1 – Business - Intellectual Property,” below for a more detailed explanation of this acquisition.
 
In July 2014, we formed a wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc. (“Sunshine Canada”), for the purposes of offering generic pharmaceutical products in Canada and elsewhere around the world. In April and June 2016 Sunshine Canada signed licensing agreements for four (4) generic prescription drugs for the treatment of breast cancer, prostate cancer and BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia).
 
In January 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Atlas Pharma Inc., a Health Canada certified company dedicated to chemical analysis of pharmaceutical and other industrial samples.
 
In March 2018, we formed NOX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a wholly owned Colorado corporation and assigned all of our interest in our Adva-27a anticancer compound to that company.
 
In December 2018, we launched our first over-the-counter Essential Brandtm product, Essential 9tm, a dietary supplement comprised of the nine amino acids which the human body cannot synthesize. Essential 9tm has been authorized for marketing by Health Canada under NPN 80089663.

Effective February 1, 2019, we completed a 20 to 1 reverse split of our $0.001 par value Common Stock reducing the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from 1,713,046,242 to 85,652,400 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All references in this report to our issued and outstanding Common Stock as well as price per share of our Common Stock are presented on a post Reverse Stock Split basis. 
 
Our principal place of business is located at 6500 Trans-Canada Highway, 4th Floor, Pointe-Claire, Quebec, Canada H9R 0A5. Our phone number is (514) 426-6161 and our website address is www.sunshinebiopharma.com.
 
We have never been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
 
Going Concern
 
Our financial statements accompanying this Report have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We have a minimal operating history and minimal revenues or earnings from operations. We have no significant assets or financial resources. We will, in all likelihood, sustain operating expenses without corresponding revenues for the immediate future.  See “Financial Statements and Notes.”
 
Results Of Operations
 
Comparison of Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017
 
During our fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 we generated revenues of $447,200 from the operations of our new wholly owned subsidiary, Atlas Pharma Inc. (“Atlas”), which we acquired on January 1, 2018. The direct cost for generating these revenues was $359,300, which is comprised of Atlas related salaries, laboratory supplies, rent and depreciation. We did not generate any revenues in 2017 or prior thereto.
 
General and administrative expenses for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 were $1,222,656, compared to $857,190 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $365,466. The expense categories that saw an increase included accounting and legal fees, which increased by $109,406, office expenses by $103,305, and executive compensation by $234,944. These increases were offset to some extent by a decrease in consulting fees by $90,768. The decrease in consulting fees was due to the fact that a substantial amount of the work required for our various operations was performed in-house.
 
We also incurred $159,420 in interest expense and $871,726 in losses from debt conversion during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $104,829 in interest expense and $76,929 in losses from debt conversion during the similar period in 2017. The increase in interest expense and losses from debt conversion in 2018 was due to an increase in issuance of convertible debt instruments in order to finance operations.
  
As a result, we incurred a net loss of $2,156,155 (approximately $0.04 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to a net loss of $1,040,236 (approximately $0.02 per share) during the year ended December 31, 2017.
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $115,216.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $512,806 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $543,520 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.  We anticipate that our cash requirements for our operations will increase in the future before we reach profitability levels. 
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $13,908 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, cash flows used in investing activities were $84,008 arising primarily out of the purchase of laboratory equipment.  Net cash flows provided by financing activities totaled $527,640 in 2018, compared to $670,705 during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

On January 1, 2018, as part of the acquisition of Atlas Pharma Inc., we issued a note payable in the amount of $450,000 Canadian ($358,407 US) and accruing interest at the rate of 3% per annum.

On May 29, 2018, we received monies in exchange for a Note Payable having a Face Value of $26,750 with interest accruing at 8%, which became due February 29, 2019. The note, together with accrued interest of $1,353, was converted into 4,003,265 shares of our Common Stock.
 
On June 27, 2018, we received monies in exchange for a Note Payable having a Face Value of $53,000 with interest accruing at 8%, which is due April 15, 2019. The Note, together with accrued interest of $5,332, was paid by cash on January 1, 2019.

The Note is convertible after 180 days from issuance into shares of our Common Stock at a price 35% below market value. Interest accrued at December 31, 2018 was $1,557.

Any gain or loss will be recognized at conversion.

We estimate that the fair value of this convertible debt approximates the face value, so no value has been assigned to the beneficial conversion feature. Any gain or loss will be recognized at conversion.

Any gain or loss will be recognized at conversion.
 
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we issued an aggregate of 39,715,488 shares of our Common Stock as follows:
 
o
1,000,000 shares for the acquisition of Atlas Pharma Inc.
o
1,456,737 shares for the purchase of laboratory and generic drugs warehouse equipment valued at $174,808
o
9,750,000 shares valued at $600,300 as compensation to our Directors and Officers
o
632,500 shares for services rendered to us by third parties valued at $83,400
o
26,876,251 valued at $1,589,099 shares in connection with the conversion of $684,318 in debt and interest of $32,808 resulting in a $871,973 loss on conversion 
 
 
 
17
 
 
We relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to issue the respective shares.
 
We are not generating significant revenue from our operations, and our ability to implement our business plan as set forth herein will depend on the future availability of financing.  Such financing will be required to enable us to further develop our proprietary drug development program, generic pharmaceuticals business, dietary supplements sales, and analytical chemistry operations.  We intend to raise funds through private placements of our Common Stock and/or debt financing. We estimate that we will require approximately $10 million ($1 million for the generic pharmaceutical operations, $1 million for expansion of the analytical chemistry operations, $1 million for the development of dietary supplements sales and $7 million for the proprietary drug development program) to fully implement our business plan in the future and there are no assurances that we will be able to raise this capital.  
   
In late 2017 we signed an agreement with Jitney Trade Inc. (“Jitney”), a Canadian broker-dealer, to raise up to $10 million Canadian (approximately $8 million US) in a private offering in order to provide the funding we have estimated we need to implement our business plan (the “Offering”). The Offering, including a six-month extension, expired on August 31, 2018 without any funds having been raised. We are currently in discussion with various investment groups for financing. There are no assurances that we will be successful in raising any funds.
 
Our cost to continue operations are expected to increase as we move forward with implementation of our enhanced business plan.  We do not have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated increase in the relevant expenses.  We need to raise additional funds in order to continue our existing operations and planned expansions.
 
Inflation
 
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
  
Leases
 
We follow the guidance in ASC 840 “Accounting for Leases,” as amended, which requires us to evaluate the lease agreements we enter into to determine whether they represent operating or capital leases at the inception of the lease.
 
 
18
 
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-02, Leases (Topic 842), to provide guidance on recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements, specifically differentiating between different types of leases. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from all leases. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee have not significantly changed from previous GAAP. There continues to be a differentiation between finance leases and operating leases. However, the principal difference from previous guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases should be recognized in the balance sheet. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach.
 
The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. These practical expedients relate to the identification and classification of leases that commenced before the effective date, initial direct costs for leases that commenced before the effective date, and the ability to use hindsight in evaluating lessee options to extend or terminate a lease or to purchase the underlying asset.
 
An entity that elects to apply the practical expedients will, in effect, continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date in accordance with previous GAAP unless the lease is modified, except that lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all operating leases at each reporting date based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments that were tracked and disclosed under previous GAAP. We are currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on our financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.:
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
 
Going Concern Uncertainty
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company’s limited operations and Working Capital deficit raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 
Note 1 – Description of Business
 
The Company was originally incorporated under the name Mountain West Business Solutions, Inc. (“MWBS”) on August 31, 2006 in the State of Colorado. Effective October 15, 2009, MWBS acquired Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. in a transaction classified as a reverse acquisition. MWBS concurrently changed its name to Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. changed its name to Sunshine Etopo, Inc. In 2015, Sunshine Etopo, Inc. became inactive and was recently dissolved.
 
On July 25, 2014, the Company formed a Canadian wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc., for the purposes of offering generic prescription drugs and over-the-counter dietary supplements.
 
On January 1, 2018, the Company acquired Atlas Pharma Inc., a Health Canada certified Canadian company offering chemical analysis of pharmaceutical and other industrial samples.
 
On March 23, 2018, the Company formed NOX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Colorado company that now holds all of the patents and intellectual property pertaining to Sunshine Biopharma Inc.’s proprietary drugs including Adva-27a, a multi-purpose anti-tumor compound targeted for the treatment of multidrug resistant cancer.
 
On December 17, 2018, the Company launched its first over-the-counter product, Essential 9tm, a dietary supplement comprised of the nine amino acids which the human body cannot synthesize. Essential 9tm has been authorized for marketing by Health Canada under NPN 80089663.
 
The following are Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.’s subsidiaries:
 
NOX Pharmaceuticals Inc., a wholly owned Colorado company;
Sunshine Biopharma Canada Inc., a wholly owned Canadian company; and
Atlas Pharma Inc., a wholly owned Canadian company.
 
Effective February 1, 2019, the Company completed a 20 to 1 reverse split of its $0.001 par value Common Stock reducing the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from 1,713,046,242 to 85,652,400 (“Reverse Stock Split”).
 
The financial statements reflect the Reverse Stock Split on a retroactive basis and represent the consolidated activity of Sunshine Biopharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company"). The Company was originally formed for the purposes of conducting research, development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer. The Company may also engage in any other business that is permitted by law, as designated by the Board of Directors of the Company. 
 
During the last year the Company has continued to raise money through stock sales and borrowings.
 
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to operationalize the Company’s generic pharmaceuticals business and proprietary drug development program.
 
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist the reader in understanding the Company's financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting  policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and  have  been  consistently  applied  in  the  preparation  of  the  financial statements.
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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.  The  more  significant  estimates  and  assumptions  made by management  are valuation of equity  instruments,  depreciation  of property and equipment,  and deferred tax asset  valuation.  Actual results could differ from those estimates as the current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these estimates and assumptions.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
For  the  Balance  Sheets  and  Statements of Cash Flows,  all  highly  liquid investments with maturity of 90 days or less are  considered  to be cash equivalents.  The Company had a cash balance of $115,216 and $107,532 as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At times such cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC limit of $250,000 or the equivalent in Canada.
 
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
Property and equipment is reviewed for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may exceed future undiscounted cash inflows. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had not identified any such impairment. Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations when incurred and improvements and renewals are capitalized.
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax purposes. Their estimated useful lives are as follows:
 
Office Equipment:
5-7 Years
Laboratory Equipment
5 Years
Vehicles
5 Years
 
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS - PATENTS
 
The cost of patents acquired is capitalized and is amortized over the remaining life of the patents.
 
The Company evaluates recoverability of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that intangible assets carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to: (1) a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, (2) a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or (3) an accumulation of cost significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset. The Company measures the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with it.
 
The Company’s management determined that the expected cash flows would be less than the carrying amount of certain intangible assets; therefore an impairment loss was recognized in 2016. The impairment loss was calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the intangible assets exceeded fair value.
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASC Topic 260 regarding earnings / loss per share, which provides for calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings / loss per share. Basic earnings / loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income / loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings / loss per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity similar to fully diluted earnings / loss per share.

INCOME TAXES
 
In accordance with ASC 740 - Income Taxes, the provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method. The liability method measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts on the financial statements.  The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities have been adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
The Company expects to recognize the financial statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after considering the probability that a tax authority would sustain the position in an examination. For tax positions meeting a "more-likely-than-not" threshold, the amount to be recognized in the financial statements will be the benefit expected to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized. As of December 31, 2018 the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception. To date, the Company has not incurred any interest or tax penalties.
 
For Canadian and US tax purposes, the Company’s 2015 through 2017 tax years remain open for examination by the tax authorities under the normal three-year statute of limitations.
 
FUNCTIONAL CURRENCY
 
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company which is operating in the United States. The functional currency for the Company's Canadian subsidiaries is the Canadian dollar.
 
The Company translates its Canadian subsidiary's financial statements into U.S. dollars as follows:
 
Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date.
Income statement accounts are translated using the weighted average exchange rate for the period.
 
The Company includes translation adjustments from currency exchange and the effect of exchange rate changes on intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. There are currently no transactions of a long-term investment nature, nor any gains or losses from non U.S. currency transactions.
 
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions.
 
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Company applies the provisions of accounting guidance, FASB Topic ASC 825, Financial Instruments. ASC 825 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized on the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, and defines fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value of cash, accounts receivable and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other payables approximated carrying value due to the short maturity of the instruments, quoted market prices or interest rates which fluctuate with market rates.
 
The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

Sunshine Biopharma, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2018 and 2017
 
 
Level 1 – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
 
Level 2 – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
 
Level 3 – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
 
The carrying value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event occurs. The Company had no financial assets or liabilities carried and measured on a nonrecurring basis during the reporting periods. Financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared.
 
NOTES PAYABLE
 
Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
 
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES LIABILITIES
 
The Company evaluates stock options, stock warrants or other contracts to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for under the relevant sections of ASC Topic 815-40, Derivative Instruments and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity. The result of this accounting treatment could be that the fair value of a financial instrument is classified as a derivative instrument and is marked-to-market at each balance sheet date and recorded as a liability. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, the change in fair value is recorded in the statement of operations as other income or other expense.
 
Upon conversion or exercise of a derivative instrument, the instrument is marked to fair value at the conversion date and then that fair value is reclassified to equity. Financial instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification under ASC Topic 815-40 are reclassified to a liability account at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. The Company determined that none of the Company’s financial instruments meet the criteria for derivative accounting as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
 
EQUITY INSTRUMENTS ISSUED TO NON-EMPLOYEES FOR AQUIRING GOODS OR SERVICES
 
Issuances of the Company’s common stock or warrants for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates.

NONCASH EQUITY TRANSACTIONS
 
Shares of equity instruments issued for noncash consideration are recorded at the estimated fair market value of the consideration granted based on the estimated market value of the equity instrument, or at the estimated value of the goods or services received whichever is more readily determinable.
 
RELATED PARTIES
 
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
 
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
 
General and administrative expenses consisted of professional service fees, rent and utility expenses, meals, travel and entertainment expenses, and other general and administrative overhead costs. Expenses are recognized when incurred.
 
BASIC AND DILUTED NET GAIN (LOSS) PER SHARE
 
The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement.
 
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) by the weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the two-class method, whichever is more dilutive. As the Company incurred net losses for the year ended December 31, 2018 no potentially dilutive securities were included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the impact would have been anti-dilutive.
 
Therefore, basic and dilutive net (loss) per share were the same as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
The Company completed a 20 to 1 reverse stock split of the $.001 par value Common Stock affective February 1, 2019. All shares in this filing have been restated to reflect the 20 to 1 reverse split.
 
REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
As of January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 201409, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 201409). Under the new guidance, an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. A five-step model has been introduced for an entity to apply when recognizing revenue. The new guidance also includes enhanced disclosure requirements. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 and was applied on a modified retospective basis. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements. All of the revenues of the Company are generated by Atlas Pharma Inc., the Company's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, which provides laboratory testing services. Performance obligations for testing services are recognized as revenue at a point in time on the date results are delivered to a customer which is when control is transferred.
 
Local governmental regulations require that companies recognize revenues upon completion of the work by issuing an invoice and remitting the applicable sales taxes (GST and QST) to the appropriate government agency. Atlas Pharma Inc.'s revenue recognition policy is in compliance with these local regulations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. Under ASU 2016-02, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with terms of more than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. In addition, disclosures of leasing activities are to be expanded to include qualitative along with specific quantitative information. ASU 2016-02 will be effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (with early adoption permitted). ASU 2016-02 mandates a modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Going Concern
 
In the course of its life the Company has had limited operations and Working Capital deficit. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company believes it can raise capital through equity sales and borrowing to fund its operations. Management believes this will contribute toward its subsequent profitability. The accompanying Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operations Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
 
These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Based on this evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2018, at reasonable assurance level, for the following reasons:
 
ineffective control environment and lack of qualified full-time CFO who has SEC experience to focus on our financial affairs;
 
lack of qualified and sufficient personnel, and processes to adequately and timely identify making any and all required public disclosures;
 
deficiencies in the period-end reporting process and accounting policies;
 
inadequate internal controls over the application of new accounting principles or the application of existing accounting principles to new transactions;
 
inadequate internal controls relating to the authorization, recognition, capture, and review of transactions, facts, circumstances, and events that could have a material impact on the company’s financial reporting process;
 
deficient revenue recognition policies;
 
inadequate internal controls with respect to inventory tracking and transactions; and
 
improper and lack of timely accounting for accruals such as prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
Our Board of Directors has assigned a priority to the short-term and long-term improvement of our internal control over financial reporting. We are reviewing various potential solutions to remedy the processes that would eliminate the issues that may arise due to the absence of separation of duties within the financial reporting functions. Additionally, the Board of Directors will work with management to continuously review controls and procedures to identified deficiencies and implement remediation within our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures.

We believe that our financial statements presented in this annual report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.
 
Inherent Limitations – Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.
 
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act.  Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that: 
 
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
 
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
 
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
Based on an assessment carried out April 1-10, 2018, management believes that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting were ineffective based in part on the issues discussed above.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “34 Act”) requires our officers and directors and persons owning more than ten percent of the Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Additionally, Item 405 of Regulation S-K under the 34 Act requires us to identify in our Form 10-K and proxy statement those individuals for whom one of the above referenced reports was not filed on a timely basis during the most recent year or prior years. To our best knowledge, all reports that were required to be filed were filed, though some were filed late.
 
Code of Ethics
 
Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics but plans to do so in the near future.
 
Committees of the Board of Directors
 
There are no committees of the Board of Directors but it is anticipated that we will establish an audit committee, nominating committee and governance committee once independent directors are appointed, which is expected to occur at such time as financing for our drug development program is secured, of which there are no assurances.

On October 8, 2015, we acquired U.S. Patent Number 8,236,935 (the “US Patent”) for the anticancer compound, Adva-27a from a related entity (Advanomics Corporation), which includes all rights to this intellectual property within the United States, in exchange for an interest-free note payable for $4,320,000 (the “October Patent Purchase Agreement”).  On December 28, 2015, we acquired the remaining worldwide issued and pending patents under PCT/FR2007/000697 and PCT/CA2014/000029 (the “Worldwide Patents”) for the Adva-27a anticancer compound from the same related entity (Advanomics Corporation) in exchange for a note payable for $12,822,499 (the “December Patent Purchase Agreement”). We believe that purchase of the US Patent and the Worldwide Patents (the “Patents”) would facilitate our ability to obtain the funding necessary to complete the development and FDA approval process for Adva-27a. In related party transactions, purchased patents are required to be recorded at the purchase price or the book value on the seller’s financial statements, whichever is lower. Effective December 28, 2015, the parties agreed to amend the October Patent Purchase Agreement and the December Patent Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment agreements (the “Amendments”), the Patents were purchased from the related party, Advanomics Corporation, at Advanomics’ cost less the amortization through December 28, 2015, the effective date of the transfer. The Amendments amended the purchase price of the Patents to $835,394, eliminated all cash payments obligations and replaced the non-convertible notes totaling $17,142,499 with two (2) convertible notes totaling $835,394 that automatically convert into an aggregate of 321,305,415 shares of our Common Stock when we successfully amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized capital of Common Stock to 3 billion. In July 2016, having completed the increase of our authorized capital to 3 billion shares of Common Stock, we issued the 321,305,415 Common Shares to Advanomics thereby completing all aspects of the patent purchase arrangements and securing direct ownership of all worldwide patents and rights pertaining to Adva-27a.
