PART I
Item 1. Business
Company Overview
Cosmos Holdings Inc. together with its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to collectively as “us”, “we”, or the “Company”) is an international pharmaceutical company with a proprietary line of nutraceuticals and distributor of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, over-the-counter (OTC) medications and medical devices through an extensive, established EU and UK distribution network. The Company identifies, acquires, develops and commercializes products that improve patients’ lives and outcomes. We have developed a global distribution platform which is currently expanding throughout Europe, Asia and North America. Currently, the Company has offices and distribution centers through its three wholly-owned subsidiaries: (i) Cosmos Holdings Inc., the parent company headquartered in Chicago, USA (ii) SkyPharm S.A., headquartered in Thessaloniki, Greece; (iii) Decahedron Ltd., head-quartered in Harlow, United Kingdom; and (iv) Cosmofarm S.A., headquartered in Athens, Greece.
The Company’s cross-border pharmaceutical business serves wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies across the EU through a network of two strategic distribution centers, one in Greece and one in the UK, as well as an additional warehousing facility. The Company focuses on leveraging its growing purchasing scale and supplier relationships to secure discounts and provide pharmaceuticals at reduced prices and on continuing to drive organic growth at attractive margins for its cross-border pharmaceutical wholesale business.
The Company operates in the business of full-line pharmaceutical wholesale distribution and serves approximately 1,500 independent retail pharmacies and 40 pharmaceutical wholesalers in Greece region by providing brand-name and generic pharmaceuticals, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and nutraceuticals. We invest in technology to enhance safety, distribution and warehousing efficiency and reliability. Specifically, the Company operates a fully automated warehouse system with three robotic systems, two ROWA™ types and one A-frame type, that ensure 0% error selection rate, accelerate order fulfillment, and yield higher cost-efficiency in our distribution center.
The Company regularly evaluates and undertakes strategic initiatives to expand its distribution reach, improve its profit margins, and strengthen its competitive position. Taking into consideration the growing demand of various vitamins and nutraceuticals, the Company entered the market with its own brand of nutraceuticals: Sky Premium Life® (SPL). Our current business has provided us with access to wholesalers both from the sourcing and the sales division of our wholesale business. We sell our products to vendors that supply us with pharmaceutical products as well as to our clients to whom we currently sell pharmaceutical products. We serve this demand by offering quality products to our existing network of wholesalers and pharmacies. Pharmacies are still the key channels for distribution and sales of nutraceuticals in the European market. The development and manufacturing of our own line is assigned to a related party which operates according to our specifications and GMP protocols.
We make use of analytics and customer feedback from our EU-wide network of wholesale pharmaceutical distributors and independent retail pharmacies to identify and evaluate which nutraceutical product codes of the brand Sky Premium Life® to be developed, commercialized and added to our portfolio. We intend to continue to bring Sky Premium Life® products to market primarily through our existing network of over 160 pharmaceutical wholesale clients and vendors and approximately 100 independent retail pharmacies within the EU market. Moreover, we have penetrated several markets through digital sale channels. There is growing demand for vitamins and nutraceuticals and we are committed to developing quality products and creating enhanced customer value.
We regularly evaluate acquisition targets that would allow us to expand our distribution reach and/or vertically integrate into the supply chain of pharmaceutical products that we currently distribute. We believe that the demand for reasonably-priced medicines, delivered on time and in the highest quality is set to increase in the years to come, as the population’s life expectancy increases. With our product portfolio of patented and non-patented medicines, we contribute to the optimization of efficient medicinal care, and thereby lowering cost for health insurance funds, companies, and patients. We also believe that the demand for non-prescription wellness products such as food and dietary supplements will continue to increase as individuals are increasingly supplementing their nutritional intake.
We believe the EU pharmaceutical import/export market will continue to grow in conjunction with the demand for nutritional products. We continue to encounter competition in the market as we grow. The competition comes in the form of level of service, reliability, and product quality. On the procurement side we continue to expand our vendor base. In order to minimize business risks, we diversify our sources of supply. We maintain our high-quality standards by carefully selecting and qualifying our suppliers as well as actively ensuring that our suppliers meet our standard of quality control on an ongoing basis.

Business Environment
The Company conducts its business within the pharmaceutical and the healthcare industry and is active in branded pharmaceuticals, generics and nutraceutical product markets. The pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and is subject to comprehensive government regulations. Many factors may significantly affect the Company’s sales of its products, including, but not limited to, efficacy, safety, price and cost-effectiveness, marketing effectiveness, product labeling, quality control and quality assurance. Currently, most of the products that the Company is trading, compete with other products already on the market in the same therapeutic category, and are subject to potential competition from new products that competitors may introduce in the future.
Generic medicines are the pharmaceutical and therapeutic equivalents of branded pharmaceutical products and are generally marketed under their generic (chemical) names rather than by brand names. Typically, a generic drug may not be marketed until the expiration of applicable patent(s) on the corresponding branded product, unless a resolution of patent litigation results in an earlier opportunity to enter the market. Generic drugs are the same as branded products in dosage form, safety, efficacy, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use, but they are sold generally at prices below those of the corresponding branded products. Generic drugs provide a cost-effective alternative for consumers, while maintaining the same high quality, efficacy, safety profile, purity and stability of the branded product.
The Company also conducts its business within the global nutraceuticals market with our own brand which considered to be highly qualitative and competitive. Nutraceuticals are defined as products that contain at least one dietary ingredient within them and can be consumed orally. Some of the purposes of nutraceuticals are used for immune system defense, energy, stress, bones and joints, The global nutraceutical market has shown rise for demand and growth within the last several years. The global market is driven by the rising popularity of sports-based performance enhancement supplements and the focus on preventive healthcare measures. The COVID-19 pandemic has also driven the global market to a high demand for immunity boosting nutraceutical products.
Corporate Strategy
The main strategy initiative is focused on continuing our progress in becoming a global pharmaceutical wholesale and import/export company through the development of a lean and efficient operating model, as well as, to expand our portfolio of our own branded nutraceutical products, grow our customer base and achieve our growth stabilization in this new market and gain an adequate size in the global nutraceuticals market. We are committed to serving our customers while continuing to innovate and provide products that make a difference in the lives of individuals. We strive to maximize our shareholders’ value by adapting to market realities and customer needs. Our strategy involves building a multinational network or wholesalers, distributors, and pharmacies and simultaneously continuing to expand the portfolio of products that we distribute to that network.
We are committed to driving organic growth at attractive margins by improving execution, optimizing cash flow and leveraging our strong market position, while maintaining a streamlined cost structure throughout each of our businesses. We continue to further align our organization to our customers’ needs in a more seamless and unified way, while supporting corporate strategy and accelerating growth. Implementing this disciplined, focused strategy has allowed us to significantly expand our business, and we believe we are well-positioned to grow revenue and increase operating income through the execution of the following key elements of our business:
| ·
| Optimize and Grow Our Pharmaceutical Sourcing and Distribution Businesses. We believe we are well-positioned in size and market breadth to continue to grow our trading businesses of pharmaceutical products as we invest to improve our operating and capital efficiencies through further automated systems. Sourcing and distribution, including specialty pharmaceuticals, anchors our growth and position in the pharmaceutical supply channel as we provide superior services and deliver value-added products, which improve the efficiency and competitiveness of healthcare providers, thus allowing the pharmaceutical supply channel to better deliver healthcare to patients. |
| ||
·
| Product Expansion of Branded Pharmaceuticals: Branded pharmaceutical products are the primary product category that we distribute, import and export. We constantly evaluate product availability, pricing, demand trends, and patent expirations to maximize our performance. As the patents for branded products near expiration, the generic equivalents enter the marketplace and the demand for those branded products start to decrease. We monitor these cycles closely and always look to find value in pricing fluctuations caused by the patent expirations as the generic equivalents enter the market. |

| Table of Contents |
·
| Geographic Expansion of Generic Pharmaceuticals: Generic pharmaceutical products are the secondary product category that we import and export. We apply the same discipline to generics that we do to the branded. We evaluate the demand and supply dynamics of branded products as their patents expire. This insight sheds light on the demand for generic products that take their place. Understanding the historical and market specific characteristics of generic product demand provides insight that we use to give guidance to our vendors that source our generic drug exports. | |
| ||
·
| Nutraceuticals & Health Products: The industry of nutraceuticals is a highly promising market that offers high margins. We are always looking to expand the portfolio of products along with an increase of point of sales coverage level. We also convenience our customers by providing them a larger portfolio of products that they can source from a single vendor. In addition to being wholesalers for nutraceuticals and related products we also created our own brand of products to sell to our current customer base. Our wholesale business gives insight to what products are in demand and we communicate with our customer base to identify which products to develop. Our own branded nutraceuticals carry significantly higher margins than simply serving as a wholesaler for other brands. | |
|
|
|
·
| Research & Development: We are committed to strategic R&D across each business unit with a particular focus for nutraceuticals with inherently lower risk profiles and clearly defined regulatory pathways. We are constantly evaluating the demand for nutraceuticals in the markets that we currently distribute pharmaceutical products to. This research and analysis determine which nutritional supplements we choose to develop as well as their formulations. This approach maximizes the probability of successfully competing with other brands in the marketplace. | |
| ||
·
| Acquisitions: We regularly evaluate acquisition targets that would allow us to expand our distribution reach and/or vertically integrate into the supply chain of the products that we currently distribute. In addition to focusing on organic growth drivers, we are also actively pursuing accretive acquisitions that offer long-term revenue growth, margin expansion through synergies, and the ability to maintain a flexible capital structure. | |
| ||
·
| Clientele Expansion of Direct to Pharmacy Wholesale Network: We are aiming to expand the full-line wholesale distribution business through acquisitions. By expanding our pharmaceutical distribution business, we expect to have a better ability to source more branded and generic products directly from manufacturers and sell our vitamins, nutraceuticals and cosmetic products directly to pharmacies for better prices. We expect this expansion to increase our sales and profit margins as we vertically integrate into the supply chain. |
To successfully execute our corporate strategy, we believe that the Company must adopt, incorporate and maintain the aforementioned core strengths, although no assurances can be made that the Company will be able to effectively implement these strategies.
Products & Services
Products
The current principal activity of the Company is the creation, development and trading of its own proprietary branded nutraceutical products line “Sky Premium Life®”. The Company’s portfolio currently includes 75 product codes including vitamins, minerals and other herbal extracts used for health prevention and care needs. We also use our subsidiaries, as a distribution centers for SPL in order to penetrate UK and EU markets. However, the leading activity of Decahedron is the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines across the UK and European Union member states. We also buy from pharmacies and other wholesale pharmaceutical companies and resell these products to other EU countries or in the UK. We purchase excess inventories at a discount from wholesalers and export pharmaceutical product codes to EU member states capturing contract price differentials in the process. The Company only purchases stock with purchase orders at hand, limiting inventory risk. EU countries have put into force new legal frameworks and mandates that boost the parallel trade market in order to deflate healthcare pricing across the region.

Services
The principal activity of our services is the distribution of a full range of branded pharmaceutical products, over-the-counter products, cosmetics, nursery, and nutraceutical products to pharmacies across Greece. We utilize the latest technology in pharmaceutical storage and retrieval systems to ensure the quality and accuracy of its distribution. Our facility utilizes ROWA™ (German pharmacy robotics) technologies to automate our procurement, a German fully automated warehouse system, inventory management, and order execution. Therefore, we achieve a zero-error rate, faster order picking, automated order picking process, higher cost-efficiency. We stay in the forefront of quality assurance and accuracy by investing in the most innovative machinery and software available to pharmaceutical distributors. Our company supports all its customers with special product offerings, seasonal products, and all the top brands and trending products.
We believe that the entire aforementioned product life cycle would take approximately six weeks to two months, from the demand list to the payment for the shipment.

Distribution and Marketing
The majority of our products are represented directly and indirectly through a dedicated sales force team. Our sales force targets mainly wholesale distributors and other healthcare providers. We sell our products principally through independent wholesale distributors, but we also sell directly to other healthcare providers such as; clinics, government agencies, independent retail and specialty pharmacies and independent specialty distributors. Customer service representatives are centralized in order to respond to customer needs in a timely and effective manner. We seek to motivate and provide incentives to our sales force team by offering high quality products and providing them with product support, training seminars, sales convention and financial incentives.
Our products in Europe and in the UK are shipped directly from our warehouse facilities and in foreign markets we have contracted third-parties to distribute our products.
We are formulating a broader and more diversified pharmaceutical product portfolio and a greater selection of targets for potential development. We target products with limited competition for reasons such as trading complexity or the market size, which make our pharmaceutical products a key growth driver of our portfolio and complementary to other product offerings.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses and Proprietary Property
We have developed or acquired various proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, nutraceutical products licenses, wholesale licenses, processes, software, and other intellectual property that are used either to facilitate the conduct of our business or that are made available as products or services to customers.
At present, besides the above licenses we do not have any intellectual property or other licenses, including, but not limited to, patents, trademarks, franchises, concessions, and royalty agreements or other proprietary interests.
We have obtained trademark registrations for “Sky Premium Life®”, and related logos for all of our “Sky Premium Life®” products product lines. We hold trademark registrations in Europe.
We rely on confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other parties to protect, among other things, trade secrets and other proprietary technology. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop equivalent proprietary information or that other third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and other intellectual property
Product Insurance
We have insurance in place for our warehouses and the products in stock against any damage or theft, but we do not insure our products after the sale, since we are working under an Ex-works policy, and thus our clients are responsible for the transportation and the insurance of the products against any damage. In the future, we will continue to reevaluate our decision and may purchase product liability insurance to cover some of or all of our product liability risk.
Customers
Through our subsidiaries, we primarily sell pharmaceutical products directly to pharmacies and a limited number of large wholesale drug distributors who, in turn, supply-sell the products to other wholesalers, hospitals, pharmacies, and governmental agencies across the European Union member state. Total revenues from the customers that accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

We have a diverse customer base that includes wholesalers and retail healthcare providers. We make a significant amount of our sales to a relatively small number of pharmaceutical wholesalers. These customers represent an essential part of the distribution chain of our products. Pharmaceutical wholesalers have undergone, and are continuing to undergo, significant consolidation in a worldwide basis. This consolidation resulted in these groups gaining additional purchasing leverage and consequently increasing the product pricing pressures facing our business.
Geographic Markets
All of our revenues are generated from operations in the European Union and UK, or otherwise earned outside the U.S. All of our foreign operations are subject to risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and currency exchange controls, fluctuations in the relative values of currencies, political and economic instability and restrictive governmental actions including.

We currently sell the products to wholesalers through our own sales force. We do not sell directly to large drug store chains or through distributors in countries where we do not have our own sales staff. As part of our sales marketing and promotion program, we use direct advertising, direct mailings, trading techniques, direct and personal contacts, exhibition of products at medical conventions and sponsor medical education symposia.
Competition
Our pharmaceutical businesses are conducted in intensely competitive and often highly regulated markets. Many of our trading of pharmaceutical products face competition in the form of branded or generic drugs that treat similar diseases or indications. The principal forms of competition include efficacy, safety, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. The means of competition vary across product categories and business groups, demonstrating that the value of our trading products is a critical factor for success in all of our principal businesses.
| 9 |
| Table of Contents |
Our competitors include other trading companies, smaller companies, with generic drug and consumer healthcare products. We compete with other companies that manufacture and sell products that treat diseases or indications similar to those treated by our trading pharmaceutical products.
Our competitive position in pharmaceutical sector is affected by several factors including among others, the amount and effectiveness of our and our competitors’ promotional resources; customer acceptance; product quality; our and our competitors’ introduction of new products, ingredients, claims, dosage forms, or other forms of innovation; and pricing, regulatory and legislative matters (such as product labeling, patient access and prescription).
The branded pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive. Our products compete with products manufactured by many other companies in highly competitive markets throughout the EU territory and internationally as well. Competitors include many of the major brand name and generic manufacturers of pharmaceutical products. If competitors introduce new products, delivery systems or processes with therapeutic or cost advantages, our products can be subject to progressive price reductions or decreased volume of sales, or both.
In the generic pharmaceutical market, we might face intense competition from other generic drug manufacturers, brand name pharmaceutical companies, existing brand equivalents and manufacturers of therapeutically similar drugs.
By specializing in high barrier to entry products, we endeavor to market more profitable and longer-lived products relative to commodity generic products. We believe that our competitive advantages include our integrated team-based approach to product development that combines our formulation, regulatory, legal and commercial capabilities; our ability to introduce new generic equivalents for brand-name drugs; our ability to meet customer expectations; and the breadth of our existing generic product portfolio offering.
Newly introduced generic products with limited or no other generic competition typically garner higher prices. At the expiration of the exclusivity period, other generic distributors may enter the market, resulting in a significant price decline for the drug. Consequently, the maintenance of profitable operations in generic pharmaceuticals depends, in part, on our ability to select, develop and launch new generic products in a timely and cost-efficient manner and to maintain efficient, high quality business capabilities.
We compete in the nutritional industry with our own branded nutraceutical products against companies that sell through retail stores, as well as against other direct selling companies. We compete against manufacturers and retailers of nutraceutical products which are distributed through supermarkets, drug stores, health food stores, vitamin outlets and mass market retailers, among others. We believe that the principal components of competition in nutraceutical products are expertise and service, high product quality, diversification and differentiation, price and brand recognition.
Operating conditions have become more challenging under the mounting global pressures of competition, industry regulation and cost containment. We continue to take measures to evaluate, adapt and improve our organization and business practices to better meet customer and public needs. We also seek to continually enhance the organizational effectiveness of all of our functions, including efforts to accurately and ethically launch and promote our products.
Information Systems
The Company operates its full-service wholesale pharmaceutical distribution facilities in Europe on one primary enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system that provides for, among other things, electronic order entry by customers, invoice preparation and purchasing, and inventory tracking. We are currently making significant investments to enhance and upgrade the ERP system.
Additionally, we are improving our entity-wide infrastructure environment to drive efficiency, capabilities, and speed to market. We will continue to invest in advanced information systems and automated warehouse technology. For example, in an effort to comply with future pedigree and other supply chain custody requirements we have made significant investments in our secure supply chain information systems.
The Company processes a substantial portion of its purchase orders, invoices, and payments electronically. However, it continues to make substantial investments to expand its electronic interface with its suppliers. The Company has integrated warehouse operating system, which are used to manage the majority of transactional volume. The warehouse operating system has improved the distribution services productivity and operating leverage.

Government Regulations
Government authorities in the EU and in other countries extensively regulate, among other things, the research, development, testing, approval, manufacturing, labeling, post-approval monitoring and reporting, packaging, advertising and promotion, storage, distribution, marketing and export and import of pharmaceutical products. As such, our branded pharmaceutical products and the generic product candidates are subject to extensive regulation both before and after approval. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable state, local and foreign statutes and regulations require the expenditure of substantial time and financial resources. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in, among other things, warning letters, civil penalties, delays in approving or refusal to approve a pharmaceutical product.
Our business is mainly the trading of branded and generic pharmaceutical products and medicines within the EU member states. In order to be able to operate our business, we need to comply with EU regulations, as well as EU member states regulations that govern various operations of our business. The most important government regulation that applies to our business is the granting to our companies SkyPharm and Decahedron of the Authorization for Wholesale Distribution of Medicinal Products for human use. In order for this Authorization to be granted the companies need to always comply with certain Good Distribution Practices (“GDP”) that mainly assure the proper storage, handling, distribution and trade of the pharmaceutical products.
As of July 22, 2015, the Hellenic Ministry of Health and more specifically the National Organization for Medicines granted to SkyPharm a license for the wholesale of pharmaceutical products for human use. The license is valid for a period of five years and pursuant to the EU directive of (2013/C343/02). SkyPharm is subject to the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practices of the European Union (the “Good Distribution Practices”) for the sale and distribution of medical products for human use. The Company submitted its application for renewal one month before the license expiration to the Hellenic Republic National Organization, but according to the EMA (eudragmdp.ema.europa.eu/inspections/view/wda/WDAHomePage.xhtml): “Due to the restrictions caused by COVID-19, the period of validity of MIA’s, WDA’s, GMP and GDP certificates is automatically extended until the end of 2021. On-site inspections will resume as soon as there is a consensus that the period of the public health crisis has passed. The clarifying remark section of individual MIA’s, WDA’s, GMP and GDP certificates will indicate any exceptions. Competent authorities reserve the right to inspect a manufacturing site should the need arise.” The Company is now focused on its own proprietary nutraceuticals line SPL and therefore is not subject to the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practice of Medicinal Products for Human Use. The Company has not submitted any renewal of the license and any potential needs for such services can be provided by the other subsidiaries which are subject to the Guidelines of the Good Distribution Practice of Medicinal Products for Human Use and their licenses are valid.
Decahedron received its Wholesale Distribution Authorization for human use on February 5, 2021, from the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) in accordance with Regulation 18 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 (SI 2012/1916) and it is subject to the provisions of those Regulations and the Medicines Act 1971. This License will continue to remain in force from the date of issue by the Licensing Authority unless cancelled, suspended, revoked or varied as to the period of its validity or relinquished by the authorization holder.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company is not required to provide the information called for in this item due to its status as a Smaller Reporting Company, however we describe below some of the risks we believe are material to our business. You should carefully consider the following risks in evaluating us and our business. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this report, including the information set forth in “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as in our consolidated financial statements and the related notes. Our business prospects, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected by any of the following risks.
Regulatory and Litigation Risks
Laws and regulations regarding our business may prohibit or restrict our ability to sell our products in some markets or require us to make changes to our business model in some markets. Our products, business practices and manufacturing activities are subject to extensive government regulations and could be subject to additional laws and regulations.
Taxation and transfer pricing could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition
We are subject to foreign tax and intercompany pricing laws, including those relating to the flow of funds between our U.S. parent company and our foreign subsidiaries. These pricing laws are designed to ensure that appropriate levels of income and expense are reported by our U.S. and foreign entities, and that they are taxed appropriately. Regulators in the United States and in foreign markets closely monitor our corporate structures, intercompany transactions, and how we effectuate intercompany fund transfers. Our effective tax rate could increase, and our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected if regulators challenge our corporate structures, transfer pricing methodologies or intercompany transfers. We are eligible to receive foreign tax credits in the United States for certain foreign taxes actually paid abroad. In the event any audits or assessments are concluded adversely to us, we may not be able to offset the consolidated effect of foreign income tax assessments through the use of U.S. foreign tax credits. Because the laws and regulations governing U.S. foreign tax credits are complex and subject to periodic legislative amendment, we may not be able to take advantage of any foreign tax credits in the future. In addition, changes in the amount of our total and foreign source taxable income may also limit our ability to take advantage of foreign tax credits in the future. The various customs, exchange control and transfer pricing laws are continually changing, and are subject to the interpretation of governmental agencies. We collect and remit value-added taxes and sales taxes in jurisdictions and states in which we have determined that nexus exists. Despite our efforts to be aware of and to comply with such laws and changes to the interpretations thereof, we may not be able to continue to operate in compliance with such laws. We may need to adjust our operating procedures in response to these interpretational changes, and such changes could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Changes in consumers behavior
Consumer behavior in recent years shows an increasing trend in the Health-Medicines sector, especially during the period of health crisis. It is observed that shopping habits and consumer behavior in general have changed in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic and the responses thereto around the world could adversely impact our business and operating results. Consumers have turned to basic necessities and digital channels and e-commerce while physical networks are underperforming.

Management of further developments
In recent years, the Company has been increasing its turnover, while expanding its range of products and its own branded nutraceutical products, has acquired the latest technology drug storage systems to ensure quality and accuracy (zero error rates) in their distribution. The further increase of the Company's operations may lead, among other things, to increased capital needs, new investments in equipment and information systems, and requirements for capacity building. Failure to raise new capital will have a significant impact on the non-implementation of the required investments necessary to increase sales. Under these conditions, the growth of the Company's activity, its financial results and its financial situation will be negatively affected.
Currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect our results of operation and financial condition
In 2021, we recognized 100% percent of our net sales in markets outside the United States, the majority of which were recognized in each market’s respective local currency. We purchase inventory from companies in foreign markets, some of them in U.S. dollars. In preparing our financial statements, we translate net sales and expenses in foreign countries from their local currencies into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates. Because our sales are in foreign countries, exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant effect on net sales and earnings. Our reported earnings have been significantly affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, with net sales and earnings generally increasing with a weaker U.S. dollar and decreasing with a strengthening U.S. dollar.
Geopolitical issues, conflicts and other global events could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition
Because our business is conducted outside of the United States, it is subject to global political issues and conflicts such as the current war in the Ukraine. Such political issues and conflicts could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition if they escalate in areas in which we do business. In addition, changes in and adverse actions by governments in foreign markets in which we do business could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our accumulated deficit currently limits our ability to pay dividends.
Penny Stock
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. While our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and not subject to the penny stock rules, should we not be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, the penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) 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 of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) 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; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) 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 (d) a monthly account statement 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 as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

Overview
Summary
We are an international pharmaceutical company with a proprietary line of nutraceuticals and distributor of branded and generic pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, OTC medications and medical devices. The Company uses a differentiated operating model based on a lean, nimble and decentralized structure, with an emphasis on acquisitions of established companies and our ability to maintain better pharmaceutical assets than others. This operating model and the execution of our corporate strategy are designed to enable the Company to achieve sustainable growth and create added value for our shareholders. In particular, we look to enhance our pharmaceutical and over-the-counter product lines by acquiring or licensing rights to additional products and regularly evaluate selective company acquisition opportunities. The Company, through its subsidiaries, is operating within the pharmaceutical industry and in order to compete successfully in the healthcare industry, must demonstrate that its products offer medical benefits as well as cost advantages. Currently, most of the products that the Company is trading, compete with other products already on the market in the same therapeutic category, and are subject to potential competition from new products that competitors may introduce in the future.
We continue to rapidly expand our distribution network worldwide and open new markets for our proprietary line of branded pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and nutraceuticals through our distribution channels and e-commerce market place. We use our extensive network with direct access to Europe’s primary sales channels for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, which includes over 160 pharmaceutical wholesale distributors in Europe’s largest markets, over 40,000 pharmacies in Europe and 1,500 pharmacies in Greece. We achieve stable supply of pharmaceuticals from Doc Pharma which enhances our ability to scale our expansion. We receive full priority in the production of nutraceuticals and volumes. Our full production in Greece ensures a decisive production-cost advantage whilst we secure additional discounts by leveraging our purchasing scale.
Our focus on investing in technology enhances yield cost savings and economies of scale the safety, distribution and warehousing efficiency and reliability, as a result of 0% error selection rate and acceleration order fulfillment.
Revenue sources
The Company operates in the wholesale distribution of branded pharmaceutical products, over the counter (“OTC”) products, medical devices, vitamins and a variety of nutraceuticals, including its proprietary label.
Import/Export of Branded pharmaceuticals
We conduct wholesale import and export of branded pharmaceutical products throughout Europe by our subsidiaries. We source licensed pharmaceuticals from wholesalers at a lower cost, primarily in Greece and the U.K. and sell to other European wholesalers. Our capital efficient business model is based on infrastructure, efficiency and scale.
Full-line Wholesale
We conduct direct distribution and sales of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, branded pharmaceuticals and OTC products. Our distribution network exceeds over 1,500 pharmacies in Greece. We have created an upgraded and high-end distribution center in Greece due to our Robotic systems and integrated automations (“ROWA” robotics).
| 17 |
| Table of Contents |
Nutraceutical
We have created and developed our own proprietary branded nutraceutical products, named “Sky Premium Life®” which was launched in 2018. We have a full portfolio of fast moving and specialty formulas with at least 75 product codes including vitamins, minerals and other herbal extracts. We expect to reach the number of 150 product codes by the end of 2022. Our nutraceutical products are manufactured exclusively by Doc Pharma, a related party of the Company. Our nutraceutical products have penetrated several markets within 2021 through digital channels such as Amazon and Tmall.
We focus on nutraceutical products because we foresee it as a relatively under-penetrated market throughout Europe with potential of high growth opportunities due to its large market size and margin contribution as the demand for nutraceutical products is increasing globally.
Branded pharmaceuticals
We are engaged in the promotion, distribution and sale of branded pharmaceutical products throughout Europe. Through a related company, we have the distribution rights to over 70 fast-moving pharmaceutical products. There is a significant growth on opportunities through product additions and geographic expansion.
Risks
Supply chain disruption is a growing concern for the European pharmaceutical industry as it increasingly looks to cut costs by relying on ‘emerging markets’, where standards can be lower in terms of compliance, ethics and health and safety.
Hikes in the price of medicine and their impact on the sustainability of the healthcare systems are garnering more and more attention. European regulators are willing to play their part in safeguarding continued access to safe and effective medicines. Regulators can speed up the approval of branded pharmaceuticals and biosimilars to boost competition and drive down prices.
Cuts in healthcare spending keep occurring since the financial crises of the late of 2000s. Europe’s slow recovery has been uneven, with austerity and economic uncertainty, especially in the EU’s poorer member states, such as Greece.
The Effects of COVID-19 on Our 2021 Operations
The World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on March 11, 2020. Since the outbreak in China in December 2019, COVID-19 has expanded its impact to Europe, where all of our operations reside as well as our employees, suppliers and customers. To date, our operations have been affected by the following adverse risks:
| 18 |
| Table of Contents |
Adverse Risks
| · | Drug shortages due to ban of exports |
|
|
|
| · | Problems/restrictions in supply chain |
|
|
|
| · | Logistics delays |
|
|
|
| · | Restrictions on employees’ ability to work |
|
|
|
| · | Liquidity issues (AR/AP) – payment delays |
|
|
|
| · | National or EU long lasting recession |
Subsequent to year-end, management has identified opportunities as listed below, that could balance, at least in part, the adverse effects of COVID-19 during the fiscal year-end 2021. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur.
Opportunities
| · | Sales increase of OTC products branded |
|
|
|
| · | Sales increase of Vitamins (Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, multivitamins) |
|
|
|
| · | Sales increase of antibacterial products and medicine masks |
|
|
|
| · | Obtain exclusive distribution rights for detection test kits for COVID-19 |
|
|
|
| · | Governmental financing incentives related to liquidity |
Management’s Expectations
Management believes that there could be a positive long-term outcome from COVID-19, which could result in an increase in sales of OTC branded products, nutraceuticals, antibacterial products, gloves, oximeters, thermometers and medical masks. However, there is no guarantee of such results. Therefore, we will increase R&D as we are aiming to innovate and create new products in order to help combat against COVID-19. We have adapted our strategy in response to COVID-19 and will continue to do so, since we are expecting the impact of COVID-19 to continue for the next 12 months.

What Effect Will COVID-19 Have on the Company’s Disclosure Controls
Management does not believe COVID-19 will have a significant effect on our disclosure controls as there have been no changes to date. Our operations have continued at a normal pace, at least 95% of our staff continue to work on site and those staff who are working remotely have no impact on our disclosure controls.
Results of Operations
Year ended December 31, 2021 versus December 31, 2020
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had a net loss of $7,961,649 on revenue of $56,239,667, versus net income of $820,786 on revenue of $55,406,337, for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Revenue
Revenue during the Company’s twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, increased by 1.5% as compared to revenues in the period ended December 31, 2020.
Our future revenue growth will continue to be affected by various factors such as industry growth trends, including drug utilization, the introduction of new innovative brand therapies, the likely increase in the number of generic drugs that will be available over the next few years as a result of the expiration of certain drug patents held by brand-name pharmaceutical manufacturers and the rate of conversion from brand products to those generic drugs, price increases and price deflation, general economic conditions in the member states of European Union, competition within the industry, customer consolidation, changes in pharmaceutical manufacturer pricing and distribution policies and practices, increased downward pressure on government and other third party reimbursement rates to our customers, and changes in government rules and regulations.
Cost of Goods Sold
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, we had direct costs of goods sold of $47,909,180 associated to cost of goods sold versus $47,345,957 from the prior fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Cost of goods sold year over year increased by 1.19% in 2021 as compared to 2020, in proportion to the increase in revenue.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $8,330,487 compared with the $8,060,380 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Gross profit increased by $270,107 or 3.35% from the prior fiscal year. The increase in the gross profit was primarily due to the increase sales of our own brand of nutraceuticals; SkyPremium Life.
Operating Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had general and administrative costs of $9,208,701, salaries and wages expenses of $2,472,953 sales and marketing expenses of $732,545 and depreciation and amortization expense of $449,692 for a net operating loss of $4,533,404. For the year ended December 31, 2020, we had general and administrative costs of $2,102,869, salaries and wages of $2,082,453, sales and marketing expenses of $763,170 and depreciation and amortization expense of $397,595 for a net operating profit of $2,714,293.
| 20 |
| Table of Contents |
The approximate 140.62% increase in operating expenses in the year ended December 31, 2021, versus the prior year ended, is mainly attributable to the share-based compensation of $5.9 million and provisions for doubtful accounts of $1,087,339.
Interest Expenses
For the year ended December 31, 2021, we had interest expense of $2,823,842 and non-cash interest expenses of $757,021 related to the fair value of extinguishment of debt and the amortization of debt discount, versus the year ending December 31, 2020, where we had interest expense of $2,761,004 and non-cash interest expenses of $34,106 related to the fair value of warrants for services, extinguishment of debt and the amortization of debt discount.
Unrealized Foreign Currency Losses
Additionally, we had an unrealized foreign currency translation loss of $1,006,517 for the year ended December 31, 2021, such that our net comprehensive loss for the period was $16,601,199 versus unrealized foreign currency income of $871,235 such that our net comprehensive income for the period was $1,692,021 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The increase relates to the significant transactions within the intercompany entities and the volatility/fluctuation from the prior year of the Euro to USD exchange.
Going Concern
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company had net loss of $7,961,649, and net cash used in operations of $7,097,174 during the year ended December 31, 2021; and working capital of $10,950,492 and an accumulated deficit of $34,345,506 as of December 31, 2021. During the fiscal year, the Company has undergone a strategic review process to help find a definitive solution to the Company’s accumulated deficit constraints. Options under consideration in the strategic review process include, but are not limited to, securing new debt, exchange debt for equity, restructuring current debt facilities from short term into long-term making the proper actions for new fund raising. The Company has adequate cash from operations in order to cover its operating costs and to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by sale of common shares. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of $10,950,492 versus a working capital of $6,482,739 as of December 31, 2020. This increase in the working capital surplus is primarily attributed to the Company’s operating profit in the year ending as of December 31, 2021.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had net cash of $286,487 versus $628,395 as of December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash used in operating activities was $7,097,174 versus $11,501,718 net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company has devoted substantially all of its cash resources to apply its investment program to expand through organic business growth and, where appropriate, the execution on selective company and license acquisitions, and incurred significant general and administrative expenses to enable it to finance and grow its business and operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, there was $826,817 net cash used in investing activities versus $117,744 used in during the year ended December 31, 2020. In the year ending December 31, 2021 this was due to the purchase of fixed assets and licenses. In the year ending December 31, 2020, this was due to the purchase of fixed assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, there was $7,267,777 of net cash and cash equivalents provided by financing activities versus $12,460,541 provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2020.
We believe that our current cash in our bank account and working capital as of December 31, 2021 will satisfy our estimated operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, the Company will require additional financing in fiscal year 2022 in order to continue at its expected level of operations and potential acquisitions. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds in the future on acceptable terms, or at all, it may be forced to curtail its development activities.
We anticipate using cash in our bank account as of December 31, 2021, cash generated from the operations of the Company and its operating subsidiaries and from debt or equity financing, or from loans from management, to the extent that funds are available to do so to conduct our business in the upcoming year. Management is not obligated to provide these or any other funds.

Plan of Operation in the Next Twelve Months
Specifically, our plan of operations for the next 12 months is as follows:
We assess the foreseeable development of the Company as being positive. Over the medium term we expect to further expand our market shares. However, during the course of further organizational optimization there may be associated extraordinary additional costs.
Our plan for our own branded nutraceuticals is to enlarge our portfolio up to 150 SKUs by the end of 2022 including more basic line formulas to cover more customer needs of any age, advanced formulations, formulas based on herbs and further clinical studies with R&D for further products. Our plan for geographic expansion in distributing and market penetration in EU, Asia, USA, Canada is based on exclusive distributors, wholesalers, e-commerce, development of franchising model, alliances and acquisitions of nutraceutical companies.
In addition, our plan for branded pharmaceuticals is geographic expansion across the world, especially in EU and UK, as well as in third countries with fast registration and developed markets with liberalized OTC policies for online pharmacies and supermarkets. We also intend to enhance our exclusive distribution rights with a growing basis of cooperating partners whilst purchasing generics’, biosimilar drugs’ and OTC licenses. We also intend to enhance our product expectance by registered copyrights and trademarks in all OTC drugs. In addition, it remains committed to strategic research and development across each business unit with a particular focus on assets with inherently lower risk profiles and clearly defined governmental regulatory pathways.
Our plan for our full line wholesale is to expand in the Greek territory, enlarge our customer portfolio and integrate of established sales network of pharmacies through the use of B2B and B2C e-commerce platforms and exclusive distributors. We are also aiming in increasing the exports of branded pharmaceuticals as we focus on higher profit margins categories (OTC and VMS), deliver 3PL services to pharma companies, put in force loyalty programs, provide added value services to pharmacies and emergency deliveries to VIP customers. The Company will evaluate and, where appropriate, execute on opportunities to expand its network of pharmacies and products in areas that it believes will offer above average growth characteristics and attractive margins.
The Company is growing its business through organic growth, market penetration, geographic expansion and acquisitions which would add value to its business and its Shareholders. The Company is also committed to pursuing various forms of business development; this can include trading, alliances, joint ventures and dispositions. Moreover, it hopes to continue to build on its portfolio of pharmaceutical products and expand its OTC and nutraceutical product portfolio. Thus, the Company is developing a sound sales distribution network specializing in its own branded nutraceutical products.
The Company’s main objective is expanding the business operations of its subsidiaries by concentrating its efforts on becoming an international pharmaceutical Company. The Company views its business development activity as an enabler of its strategies, and it seeks to generate earnings growth and enhance shareholder value by pursuing a disciplined, strategic, and financial approach to evaluating business development opportunities. Under these principles the Company assesses businesses and assets as part of its regular, ongoing portfolio review process and continues to consider trading development activities for its businesses. The Company’s objective is the optimization of operating expenses across all entities without compromising the quality of the Company’s services and products.
Changes in the behavior and spending patterns of purchasers of pharmaceutical and healthcare products and services, including delaying medical procedures, rationing prescription medications, reducing the frequency of doctor visits, and foregoing healthcare insurance coverage, may impact the Company’s business.
The pharmaceutical sector offers a large growth potential within the European pharmaceutical market, if service, price and quality are strictly directed towards the customer requirements. The Company will continue to encounter competition in the market by product, service, reliability, and a high level of quality. On the procurement side, the Company can access a wide range of supply possibilities. To minimize business risks, the Company diversifies its sources of supply all over Europe. It secures its high-quality demands through careful supplier qualification and selection, as well as active suppliers’ system management.
While the Company intends to pursue these milestones, there may be circumstances where, for valid business reasons or due to factors beyond the control of the Company (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic), a re-allocation of efforts may be necessary or advisable. Although the Company does not currently anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will cause material delays in the timelines or estimates set out above, due to the evolving nature of COVID-19 and its impacts, these timelines and estimates may require adjustment in the future.
The Company intends to spend the funds available to it in working capital, inventories, intangible assets, acquisitions, R&D, sales and marketing expenses. Due to the uncertain nature of the industry in which the Company will operate, projects may be frequently reviewed and reassessed. Accordingly, while it is currently intended by management that the available funds will be expended as set forth above, actual expenditures may in fact differ from these amounts and allocations.

Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment for the next twelve months aside from a few pieces of IT equipment. Nevertheless, we will replace essential equipment for operations if it is required within the year.

Revenue Recognition
The Company adopted the modified retrospective adoption in accordance with ASC 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, on January 1, 2018. The new guidance introduces a five-step model for recognizing revenue by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the promised goods to the customer. Once these steps are met, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the product. Adoption of ASC 606 has not changed the timing and nature of the Company’s revenue recognition and there has been no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2021, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Foreign Currency. Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity’s local currency) are included in net (loss) earnings.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes, ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company is liable for income taxes in Greece and the United Kingdom of England. The corporate income tax rate in Greece is 22%, (tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013) (prior to 2013, losses were carried forward indefinitely) and 19% in the United Kingdom of England. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

| Table of Contents |
We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets.
We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position in our financial statements if, in management’s judgment, the position is not more-likely-then-not sustainable upon audit based on the position’s technical merits. This involves the identification of potential uncertain tax positions, the evaluation of applicable tax laws and an assessment of whether a liability for an uncertain tax position is necessary. We operate and are subject to audit in multiple taxing jurisdictions.
We record interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of interest and other expense, respectively.
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of the U.S. net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards in our parent, Cosmos Holdings Inc., which are applicable to future taxable income in the United States (if any). Additionally, the Company has income tax liabilities in the United Kingdom of England. The income tax assets and liabilities are not able to be netted. We therefore reserve the income tax assets applicable to the United States, but recognize the income tax liabilities in Greece and the United Kingdom of England. Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The new guidance creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The new guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and include interim periods. The guidance is effective for all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-08 on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Cosmos Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cosmos Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows, for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern Matter
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and cash used in operations that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Inventory Valuation — Refer to Note 1 to the Financial Statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company computes inventory using the weighted average method and consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e., packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. The Company assesses inventory at each reporting date in order to assert that it valued at the lower-of-cost or net realizable value; and the estimation of excess, expired or obsolete inventory. Most of the Company’s inventory provisions are based on the Company’s inventory levels and forecasted demand as well as physical condition, expiration date and current market conditions. Most of the Company’s inventory items are eligible for return to suppliers when pre-agreed product requirements, including, but not limited to, physical condition and expiration date, are not met.
Significant judgment is exercised by the Company to determine inventory carrying value adjustments, specifically the provisions for excess or obsolete inventories, and includes the following:
| · | Developing assumptions such as forecasts of future sales quantities and the selling prices, which are sensitive to the competitiveness of product offerings, customer requirements, and product life cycles. |
Given these factors and assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions, the related audit effort to evaluate management’s inventory valuation adjustments was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our principal audit procedures related to the Company’s inventory valuation methodology included the following:
| · | We selected a sample of inventory items and performed the following procedures: |
| o | Tested the mathematical accuracy of Company’s inventory schedule by comparing the quantities and carrying value of on-hand inventories to related unit sales, both historical and forecasted. |
| o | Assessed and tested the reasonableness of the significant assumptions (e.g., sales and marketing forecast and usage). |
| o | Inquired with operations team and evaluated the adequacy of management’s adjustments to sales forecasts by analyzing potential changes in line with product life cycles and/or identified alternative customer uses. |
| o | Assessed whether there were any potential sources of contrary information, including historical forecast accuracy or history of significant revisions to previously recorded inventory valuation adjustments, and performed sensitivity analyses over significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in inventory valuation that would result from changes in the assumptions. |
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

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

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no cash equivalents.
The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars and in Greece and in Bulgaria all of which are denominated in Euros. Additionally, the Company maintains a bank account in the United Kingdom denominated in British Pounds. As of December 31, 2021, the amounts in these accounts were $144,489, $101,589 and $4,061.

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

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

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.
The following table presents assets that are measured and recognized at fair value as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, on a recurring basis:

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

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

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
October 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued accounting standards update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as if it had originated the contracts. The new guidance creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The new guidance should be applied prospectively and is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and include interim periods. The guidance is effective for all other entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-08 on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt— Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, to clarify and reduce diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (for example, warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public and nonpublic entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of the adoption of ASU No. 2021-04 on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2 –MARKETABLE SECURITIES
Distribution and Equity Agreement
On March 19, 2018, the Company entered into a Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement (the “Distribution and Equity Acquisition Agreement”) with Marathon Global Inc. (“Marathon”), a company incorporated in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Marathon was formed to be a global supplier of cannabis, cannabidiol (CBD) and/or any cannabis extract products, extracts, ancillaries and derivatives (collectively, the “Products”). The Company was appointed the exclusive distributor of the Products initially throughout Europe and on a non-exclusive basis wherever else lawfully permitted. The Company has no present intention to distribute any Products under this Agreement in the United States or otherwise participate in cannabis operations in the United States. The Company intends to await further clarification from the U.S. Government on cannabis regulation prior to determining whether to enter the domestic market.

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

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2021
At December 31, 2021, the Company had U.S. net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of approximately $12,513,177 that may be offset against future taxable income, subject to limitation under IRC Section 382. Of the $12.5 million Federal NOL carryforwards, $2.5 million are pre-2018 and begin to expire in 2031. The remaining balance of $10 million, are limited to utilization of 80% of taxable income but do not have an expiration. At December 31, 2021, the Company had fully utilized all the Greek NOL carryforwards and has an NOL of $546,683 in the UK. A valuation allowance exists for the U.S. operations, but not for the non-U.S. operations, based on a more likely than not criterion and in consideration of all available positive and negative evidence.
ASC 740 requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses ("NOLs"), temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is "more likely than not." Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company's ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Because of the Company's history of domestic operating losses, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance, on our U.S. net domestic deferred tax assets. In 2020, foreign (Greece and United Kingdom) valuation allowances were released, aggregating $200,000. Management considered all available evidence to when evaluating the realizability of foreign deferred tax assets by jurisdiction and concluded primarily based upon a strong earnings history that these deferred tax assets were more-likely-than-not realizable.
The Company applied the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns in Illinois, United States, and in foreign jurisdictions including Greece, and United Kingdom. As of December 31, 2021, all domestic tax years are open to tax authority examination due the availability of net operating loss deductions, 2010 through 2021. In Greece, the statute of limitations is open for five years, 2016 through 2021. In United Kingdom, the statute of limitations is open for four years, 2017 through 2021. Currently, there are no ongoing tax authority income tax examinations.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.7 million of undistributed earnings and profits for which no deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, since the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest such earnings to fund the international operations and certain obligations of the subsidiary. Should the above undistributed earnings be distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise, the distributions would result in $350.3 thousand of tax expense.
NOTE 8 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On the date of our inception, we issued 2 million shares of our common stock to our then three officers and directors which were recorded at no value (offsetting increases and decreases in common stock and additional paid-in capital).
Doc Pharma S.A.

Additionally, the Company has a receivable balance of $2,901,300 and an accounts payable balance of $565,756. As of December 31, 2020, the Company has a prepaid balance of $3,468,653 to Doc Pharma S.A. related to purchases of inventory. Additionally, the Company had a receivable balance of $3,468,564.

The Agreement provides that the Buyer will (a) forbear (i) from taking any action with respect to the Existing Default and (ii) from issuing any demand for redemption of the Note on the basis of the Existing Default until the earlier of: (1): November 16, 2021 (or, if earlier, such date when all amounts outstanding under the Note shall be paid in full or converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance therewith) and (2) the time of any breach by the Company of the Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of Default that is not an Existing Default (the “Forbearance Expiration Date), (b) during the Forbearance Period (as defined) waive the prepayment premium to any Company Optional Redemption (which will result in the 120% redemption premium effectively replaced with 100%), and (c) during the Forbearance Period, waive the repayment in full of the Note other than the Required Payments (as defined) prior to November 16, 2021.

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

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

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

NOTE 16 – DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE
ASC 606-10-50-5 requires that entities disclose disaggregated revenue information in categories (such as type of good or service, geography, market, type of contract, etc.). ASC 606-10-55-89 explains that the extent to which an entity’s revenue is disaggregated depends on the facts and circumstances that pertain to the entity’s contracts with customers and that some entities may need to use more than one type of category to meet the objective for disaggregating revenue.

None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer/Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were partially effective. The Internal Auditors of the Company have already developed the existing internal controls and processes.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. This rule defines internal control over financial reporting as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| · | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions; |
|
|
|
| · | Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures 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 acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, 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.
With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was partially effective as of December 31, 2021, as the result of a weakness. The weakness results from deficiencies in internal control that collectively constitute a weakness.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness; yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting. We had the following material weaknesses at December 31, 2021:
| · | The Company has a lack of proper segregation of duties. |
|
|
|
| · | The Company’s internal control structure lacks multiple levels of review and oversight. |
| 30 |
| Table of Contents |
Remediation of Deficiencies and Material Weaknesses
We are in process of remediating all material weaknesses present in our internal controls.
We have put systems in place to deal with the revenue recognition deficiencies which include: having persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists in the form of a signed agreement, the price is fixed and determinable by having material purchase orders signed by our customer and the company, written confirmation that goods or services have been delivered. The collectability aspect of revenue recognition will is now met.
We have proceeded to different types of controls in order to remediate deficiencies;
Preventive controls: segregation of duties on main areas such as payroll, fixed assets, inventory and IT controls.
Detective controls: reconciliations on main areas such as payroll, fixed assets, inventory, Accounts payable, Accounts receivable, as well as, physical counts of inventory are performed on a monthly/quarterly/annual basis according to the risk the company is exposed.
Corrective controls: when we find errors or discrepancies on the controls the Internal Auditors pass them to management team and colleagues who are involved either written or verbally.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors or all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements, due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns may occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk.
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 rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the most recently completed fiscal year, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Grigorios Siokas
On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange agreement (“May Debt Exchange”) related to a lawsuit from on or about July 25, 2019, whereby Mark Rubenstein, individually and as a shareholder of the Company, brought the action styled Rubenstein v. Siokas, et al., Case No. 1:19-cv-06976-KPF (S.D.N.Y.) against Grigorios Siokas for recovery of alleged profits earned under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although recovery was sought only from Mr. Siokas, the Company was also named as a nominal defendant. Both the Company and Mr. Siokas vigorously defended the lawsuit. On or about September, 18, 2020, in an effort to avoid the uncertainty of litigation and further legal expense, Mr. Siokas agreed to settle the lawsuit by agreeing to reimburse the Company a total of $600,000, payable as a combination of: (1) Mr. Siokas reimbursing the Company for Plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees, in an amount subsequently determined by the Court to be $120,000 plus $4,137 of litigation costs to be paid in cash, and (2) Mr. Siokas relieving the Company of certain debt owed to him. Mr. Siokas and the Company strongly opposed Plaintiff’s motion for attorneys’ fees. Pursuant to the terms of the May Debt Exchange the Company forgave $600,000 of the existing loan payable and recorded the forgiveness to additional paid in capital.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company entered into various agreements (as defined in Note 6) with Mr. Siokas whereby the Company exchanged an aggregate total of $6,000,000 of debt into 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at above market prices.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company borrowed additional proceeds of €1,803,000 ($2,040,635), €230,000 ($275,306) and $4,061,215 and repaid €118,000 ($133,552) of these loans. Included in the $4,061,215 is a convertible promissory note issued to Mr. Siokas on July 20, 2021, for $2,000,000 in exchange for $2,000,000 in cash proceeds (the “July 20 Note”). The July 20 Note bears no interest and is convertible at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate that exceeds the then current market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company determined that the conversion feature is equity in nature and that no beneficial conversion feature exists. The July 20 Note is carried at face value. During the year ending December 31, 2021, the Company converted $2,000,000 of the July 20 Note at a conversion price of $6.00 and issued 333,333 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an outstanding balance under these notes and loans of $1,293,472. Of the $1,293,472 outstanding balance, $0 is convertible in accordance with the July 20 Note.
The above balances are adjusted for the foreign currency rate as of the balance sheet date. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a loss of $21,446 and $27,114, respectively.
On December 20, 2018, the €1,500,000 ($1,718,400) note payable, originally borrowed pursuant to a Loan Agreement with a third-party lender, dated March 16, 2018, was transferred to Grigorios Siokas. The note bears an interest rate of 4.7% per annum and matured on March 18, 2019, pursuant to the original agreement. The note is not in default and the maturity date has been extended until December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the note had an outstanding principal balance of €400,000 ($489,200) and accrued interest of €158,287 ($193,585). As of December 31, 2021, the Company has an outstanding balance of €400,000 ($452,720) and accrued interest of €177,313 ($200,683).
Grigorios Siokas is the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder and is hence considered a related party to the Company.

Both parties have agreed that the Company will deposit 60% of the total cost upon agreement and assignment and 40% of the total cost including VAT charge upon the delivery date. The prices are indicative and are subject to amendments if the cost of the raw material or the production cost change. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has purchased €1,699,507 ($2,010,517) in inventory related to this agreement.
On May 17, 2021, Doc Pharma and the Company entered into a Research and Development (“R&D”) agreement whereby Doc Pharma is responsible for the research, development, design, registration, copy rights and licenses of 250 nutritional supplements for the final products called Sky Premium Life®. These products will be sold in Greece and abroad. The total cost of this project will be €1,425,000 plus VAT and will be done over three phases as follows: Design & Development (€725,000); Control and Product Manufacturing (€250,000) and Clinical Study and Research (€450,000). In the year ended December 31, 2021, SkyPharm bought 67 licenses at value of €261,300 ($295,739) from Doc Pharma which was the 18.33% of the total cost. The agreement will be terminated on December 31, 2025.
Doc Pharma S.A is considered a related party to the Company due to the fact that the CEO of Doc Pharma is the wife of Grigorios Siokas, the Company’s CEO and principal shareholder, who also served as a principal of Doc Pharma S.A. in the past.
