**PART I**

**ITEM 1 - BUSINESS**

**Overview**

Impact Biomedical Inc. ("IBO". "Impact", "Impact BioMedical", "we", "us", "our" or the "Company") discovers, confirms, and patents unique science and technologies which can be developed into new offerings in human healthcare and wellness in collaboration with external partners through licensing, co-development, joint ventures, and other relationships, and currently trades on the NYSE American under ticker symbol IBO.

By leveraging technology and new science with strategic partnerships, we provide advances in biopharmaceuticals, over the counter direct to consumer wellness offerings, and drug discovery for the prevention, inhibition, and treatment of neurological, oncologic, and inflammatory diseases. In addition to our existing efforts, we continually search for, and evaluate, other potential new offerings to add to our portfolio.

Our business model includes partnering and potentially direct sales for commercialization and distribution. Potential licensors and development partners include pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods companies and others, who would commercialize IBO technologies in exchange for milestone, and royalty payments. Currently, our operations are conducted, and our assets are owned through our principal subsidiaries: (i) Global BioLife, Inc. ("Global BioLife"), which was incorporated on April 14, 2017, (ii) Impact BioLife Science, Inc. ("Impact BioLife"), which was incorporated on August 28, 2020, (iii) Global BioMedical, Inc. ("Global BioMedical"), which was incorporated on April 18, 2017, and (iv) Sweet Sense, Inc. ("Sweet Sense"), which was incorporated on April 30, 2018.

In addition to our existing efforts, we continually search and evaluate other potential new offerings to add to our portfolio.

Below is a list of our principal subsidiaries:

*<u>Impact BioLife Science, Inc</u>.* We are the sole owner of the issued and outstanding common stock of Impact BioLife Science, Inc.

*<u>Global Biomedical, Inc.</u>* We own 90.9% of Global Biomedical, Inc. issued and outstanding common stock.

*<u>Global BioLife, Inc</u>*. Through our majority owned subsidiary Global Biomedical, Inc., we own 81.8% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Global BioLife, Inc.

*<u>Sweet Sense, Inc</u>*<u>.</u> We own approximately 95.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Sweet Sense.

Impact BioMedical has several unique and proprietary technologies that are in continuing development.

Linebacker

Linebacker is a platform of small molecule electrophilically enhanced polyphenol compounds with potential application in oncology (solid tumors), inflammatory disorders, and neurology. Polyphenols are substances found in many nuts, vegetables, and berries. Linebacker compounds are modified Myricetin, which is a common plant-derived flavonoid. Myricetin exhibits a wide range of activities that include strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities (source: NIH).

Linebacker can potentially be developed as monotherapy or co-therapy to down-regulate PIM (proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus) kinase which plays a key role as an oncogene in various cancers (e.g. colon, lung, prostate, breast). Additional potential applications include inflammatory disorders and neurology.

Linebacker-1 and Linebacker-2 compounds have been licensed to ProPhase Laboratories (NASDAQ: PRPH) for development and commercialization worldwide, from which Impact Biomedical could receive future milestone and royalty payments.

Composition and method patents are issued to the Company for Linebacker in the U.S. and other countries.

Laetose

Laetose™ technology demonstrates compelling potential in reducing caloric intake and glycemic index in foods, while also inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a cytokine associated with inflammatory chronic diseases (data on file with IBO).

The patented formulation has potential to inhibit the inflammatory and metabolic response of sugar alone and has potential applications in therapeutic administration to reduce or limit inflammatory or metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes). Use of Laetose in a daily diet, compared to sugar, could result in 30% lower sugar consumption and lower caloric and glycemic index/load.

Laetose has a unique composition patent allowed in the United States and other countries worldwide.

IBO is actively seeking potential partners for further development and commercialization of Laetose as a consumer-packaged or biopharmaceutical offering worldwide.

Functional Fragrance Formulation ("3F")

3F is a suite of "functional fragrances" containing specialized botanical ingredients (e.g., terpenes) with potential application as an antimicrobial, or as an additive in insect repellents, detergents, lotions, shampoo, fabrics and other substances to increase effectiveness.

IBO has partnered with the Chemia Corporation (St. Louis, MO) to pursue development of the 3F technology. Chemia is a leading developer and manufacturer of fragrances and flavors.

In addition to Chemia, IBO is actively seeking potential partners for further development and commercialization of 3F worldwide, given the broad application of this technology.

Composition patents have been issued in the U.S. and are pending in other countries.

Equivir

Equivir/Equivir G technology is a novel blend of FDA Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) eligible polyphenols (e.g. Myricetin, Hesperetin, Piperine) which have demonstrated antiviral effects with additional potential application as health supplements or medication. Polyphenols are substances found in many nuts, vegetables, and berries. Myricetin is a member of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. Hesperitin is a flavanone and Piperine is an alkaloid, commonly found in black pepper.

Equivir/Equivir G is licensed to ProPhase Laboratories for development and commercialization worldwide. ProPhase Lab's initial focus is for use as an over-the-counter offering for upper respiratory wellness. Additional applications could be pursued in the future.

Method and composition patents are issued in the U.S. and other countries.

Emerging Technology

Impact BioMedical continually evaluates additional proprietary technologies that are in various phases of development. These include, and are not limited to biopharmaceuticals, indoor air quality products, preservatives, bioplastics, personalized medicine (e.g. genomics, diagnostics), nanotechnology, cannabis products and technology, pain management, and others.

These activities include discussions with potential companies/technologies which, subject to completion of diligence, and approval of the respective management boards, could potentially expand the offerings of Impact Biomedical Inc. There is no assurance that anyone, or all, of these will result in a material transaction and this is exemplary of consistent and ongoing search and discovery efforts within Impact Biomedical Inc.

**2025 RECAP**

Impact BioMedical (IBO) continued to develop strong potential through expanding a robust intellectual property(IP) portfolio, partnerships for development, registration, and commercialization, and positioning the company for near-term revenue generation.. The company's technologies address critical health challenges, with significant market potential in both developed and emerging markets.

IBO is built on a foundation of cutting-edge technologies, strong IP, and partnerships to improve human health and wellness. Progress advanced considerably in 2025.

*Intellectual Property:*

 

Technology and patent platforms were expanded in 2025, resulting in sixty (60) issued and over sixty (60) pending patents at the end of 2025. Accomplishments include:

● Allowance of our Laetose patent in Europe, representing a novel combination of one or more sugars and myo-inositol, with the potential to inhibit the inflammatory and metabolic response of sugar alone. This could be utilized as a diet supplement or biopharmaceutical, and discussions with potential partners to advance commercialization efforts continue. This expands the worldwide potential following the first U.S. allowance in 2024.

● Expansion of the 3F patent estate with a U.S. allowance for infectious disease The technology is designed to act as an antibacterial or antiviral agent, with potential applications for killing microbes as a disinfectant or as a treatment for infectious diseases (e.g., E. coli, MRSA, influenza, rhinovirus, and M. tuberculosis). 3F also received an allowance in Europe for application as a natural insect repellent. Applications range from standalone repellents to integrations in shampoos and detergents.

 

*Commercialization/Revenue Generation:*

 

The Equivir platform, licensed to ProPhase Labs continued planning for potential commercialization, contingent on meeting targeted marketing claims, and securing a distribution partner or network.

The company announced the acquisition of Celios Air Purification technology company, to enhance its ability to combat pathogens. This technology is a patented, three-stage mechanical filtration system that provides virtual cleanroom-quality air by capturing up to 99.99% of ultrafine particles down to 10 nanometers in size, significantly exceeding traditional HEPA standards, without producing harmful byproducts like ozone or other chemical off gassing. This acquisition aligns with Impact Biomedical's focused roll-up strategy, to expand its portfolio with cutting-edge solutions with potential for immediate revenue while reinforcing its commitment to human health and wellness.

*Financial:*

 

Impact BioMedical Inc. announced a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Dr. Ashleys Limited in a reverse merger. This strategic move combines Dr. Ashleys' global pharmaceutical manufacturing with Impact BioMedical's patent portfolio, creating a new, stronger entity traded on the NYSE American to accelerate revenue generation and continued new product and technology development.

Impact BioMedical Inc. entered a debt conversion agreement with DSS, Inc. (DSS) to settle approximately $15 million in outstanding principal and interest debt related to a 2023 promissory note payable to DSS, Inc. by issuing 31,939,778 shares of common stock to DSS. This transaction strengthens Impact's balance sheet, increases equity, removes all non-trade debt obligations, and is part of a strategic merger/equity alignment, that will facilitate the merger of Impact and Dr. Ashleys into a new public entity.

In summary, 2025 delivered an improved financial position, new and improved technology and patent platforms, and strategic merger plans to drive anticipated near-term revenue generation.

***Reporting Operating Segments:***

The Company reports its segment information to reflect the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews and assesses performance. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer have joint responsibilities as the CODM and review and assess the performance of the Company as a whole.

The primary financial measures used by the CODM to evaluate performance and allocate resources are net income (loss) and operating income (loss). The CODM uses net income (loss) and operating income (loss) to evaluate the performance of the Company's ongoing operations and as part of the Company's internal planning and forecasting processes. Information on Net income (loss) and Operating income (loss) is disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Segment expenses and other segment items are provided to the CODM on the same basis as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The CODM does not evaluate performance or allocate resources based on segment assets, and therefore such information is not presented in the notes to the financial statements.

Impact BioMedical currently operates as one business segment.

***Biotechnology:*** ("Biotech") Impact BioMedical, Inc. targets unmet, urgent medical needs and expands the borders of medical and pharmaceutical science. Impact drives mission-oriented research, development, and commercialization of solutions for medical advances in human wellness and healthcare. By leveraging technology and new science with strategic partnerships, Impact BioMedical provides advances in drug discovery for the prevention, inhibition, and treatment of neurological, oncology and immuno-related diseases. Other exciting technologies include a breakthrough alternative sugar aimed to combat diabetes and functional fragrance formulations aimed at the industrial and medical industry.

**<u>Intellectual Property</u>**

We strive to protect the intellectual property that we believe is important to our business, including seeking and maintaining patent protection intended to cover the composition of matter of our product candidates, their methods of use, their methods of production, related technologies and other inventions. In addition to patent protection, we also rely on trade secrets to protect aspects of our business that are not amenable to, or that we do not consider appropriate for, patent protection, including certain aspects of technical know-how.

Our commercial success depends in part upon our ability to obtain and maintain patent and other proprietary protection for commercially important technologies, inventions and know-how related to our business, defend and enforce our intellectual property rights, particularly our patent rights, preserve the confidentiality of our trade secrets and operate without infringing valid and enforceable intellectual property rights of others.

Patent positions for emerging companies like us are uncertain and can involve complex legal, scientific and factual issues. In addition, the coverage claimed in a patent application can be significantly reduced before a patent is issued, and its scope can be reinterpreted and even challenged after issuance. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any of our product candidates will be protectable or remain protected by enforceable patents. We cannot predict whether the patent applications we are currently pursuing will be issued as patents in any particular jurisdiction or whether the claims of any issued patents will provide sufficient proprietary protection from competitors. Any patents that we hold may be challenged, circumvented or invalidated by third parties.

We currently have rights or ownership to sixty-nine (69) issued patents and more than sixty (60) pending patents in countries worldwide. These include composition, method, and design patents.

*Trademarks:*

We have several trademarks related to Impact BioMedical.

*Websites:*

The primary corporate website we maintain is <u>www.impactbiomedinc.com</u>.

**<u>Markets and Competition</u>**

Impact Biomedical is focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of products and technologies to address unmet needs in human healthcare and wellness. Specific areas of focus include specialty biopharmaceuticals, antivirals, antimicrobials, and consumer healthcare and wellness products, often derived from naturally sourced elements. These efforts compete with many different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies, academic institutions and governmental agencies, and public and private research institutions.

**<u>Customers</u>**

The business model of Impact BioMedical includes licensing and potentially direct sales for commercialization and distribution. Potential licensors and development partners include pharmaceutical, food, consumer package goods companies and others in exchange for milestone, and royalty licensing payments.

**<u>Raw Materials</u>**

None.

**<u>Environmental Compliance</u>**

It is the Company's policy to conduct its operations in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations, and other requirements. While it is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that the Company may undertake in the future, in the opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated annual results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

**<u>Government Regulation</u>**

We are faced with potential government regulations. If new legislation, regulations, or rules are implemented either by Congress, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO"), or the courts that impact the patent application process, the patent enforcement process or the rights of patent holders, these changes could negatively affect our patent monetization efforts and, in turn, our assets, expenses and revenue. United States patent laws have been amended by the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act. The America Invents Act includes several significant changes to U.S. patent law. In general, the legislation attempts to address issues surrounding the enforceability of patents and the increase in patent litigation by, among other things, establishing new procedures for patent litigation. For example, the America Invents Act changes the way that parties may be joined in patent infringement actions, increasing the likelihood that such actions will need to be brought against individual parties allegedly infringing by their respective individual actions or activities. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") has conducted reviews of the patent system to evaluate the impact of patent assertion entities, such as our Company, on industries in which those patents relate. It is possible that the findings and recommendations of the DOJ could adversely impact our ability to effectively license and enforce standards-essential patents and could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the enforcement of any such patented technologies.

Moreover, new rules regarding the burden of proof in patent enforcement actions could significantly increase the cost of our enforcement actions, and new standards or limitations on liability for patent infringement could negatively impact our revenue derived from such enforcement actions.

**<u>Corporate History</u>**

Impact BioMedical, Inc., incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 16, 2018, through the utilization of its intellectual property rights, or through investment in, or through acquisition of companies in the biohealth and biomedical fields, focuses on the advancement of drug discovery and prevention, inhibition, and treatment of neurological, oncological, and immune related diseases. The Company is also developing open-air defense initiatives, which curb transmission of air-borne infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and influenza. See the "Overview" section above for further details about our Company.

We make available free of charge through our website our press releases, Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after electronically filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS**

*An investment in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase the Company's securities, an investor should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this annual report. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed below will not occur. These events could have a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If that were to happen, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.*

**Risks Related to Liquidity, the Company's Business and Industry**

***If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, our operations may be materially harmed.***

We rely on and expect to continue to rely on agreements with parties with whom we have relationships, as well as patent, trademark and trade secret protection laws, to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect our intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of its intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights of ours or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may result in a loss in potential revenue and could materially harm our operations and financial condition.

***New legislation, regulations or rules related to obtaining patents or enforcing patents could significantly increase our operating costs and decrease any potential revenue we might otherwise make.***

We spend a significant amount of resources on our patent assets. If new legislation, regulations or rules are implemented either by Congress, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (the "USPTO") or the courts that impact the patent application process, the patent enforcement process or the rights of patent holders, these changes could negatively affect its expenses, potential revenue and could negatively impact the value of our assets.

***Safety and effectiveness concerns can have significant negative impacts on sales and results of operations, lead to litigation and cause reputational damage.***

Concerns about product safety, whether raised internally or by litigants, regulators or consumer advocates, and whether or not based on scientific evidence, can result in safety alerts, product recalls, governmental investigations, regulatory action on the part of the FDA (or its counterpart in other countries), private claims and lawsuits, payment of fines and settlements, declining sales and reputational damage. These circumstances can also result in damage to brand image, brand equity and consumer trust in products. Product recalls could in the future prompt government investigations and inspections, the shutdown of manufacturing facilities, continued product shortages and related sales declines, significant remediation costs, reputational damage, possible civil penalties and criminal prosecution.

***Significant challenges or delays in our innovation and development of new products, technologies and indications could have an adverse impact on our long-term success.***

Our continued growth and success depend on our ability to innovate and develop new and differentiated products and services that address the evolving health care needs of patients, providers and consumers. Development of successful products and technologies may also be necessary to offset revenue losses should our products lose market share due to various factors such as competition and loss of patent exclusivity. We cannot be certain when or whether we will be able to develop, license or otherwise acquire companies, products and technologies, whether particular product candidates will be granted regulatory approval, and, if approved, whether the products will be commercially successful. We pursue product development through internal research and development as well as through collaborations, acquisitions, joint ventures and licensing or other arrangements with third parties. In all of these contexts, developing new products, particularly biotechnology products, requires a significant commitment of resources over many years. Only a very few biopharmaceutical research and development programs result in commercially viable products. The process depends on many factors, including the ability to discern patients' and healthcare providers' future needs; develop new compounds, strategies and technologies; achieve successful clinical trial results; secure effective intellectual property protection; obtain regulatory approvals on a timely basis; and, if and when they reach the market, successfully differentiate its products from competing products and approaches to treatment. New products or enhancements to existing products may not be accepted quickly or significantly in the marketplace for healthcare providers, and there may be uncertainty over third-party reimbursement. Even following initial regulatory approval, the success of a product can be adversely impacted by safety and efficacy findings in larger patient populations, as well as market entry of competitive products.

***We are subject to risks related to corporate social responsibility and reputational matters.***

Our reputation and the reputation of our brands, including the perception held by our customers, end-users, business partners, investors, other key stakeholders and the communities in which we do business are influenced by various factors. There is an increased focus from our stakeholders on ESG practices and disclosure - and if we fail, or are perceived to have failed, in any number of ESG matters, such as environmental stewardship, inclusion and diversity, workplace conduct and support for local communities, or to effectively respond to changes in, or new, legal or regulatory requirements concerning climate change or other sustainability concerns, our reputation or the reputation of our brands may suffer. Such damage to our reputation and the reputation of our brands may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, negative or inaccurate postings or comments on social media or networking websites about the Company or our brands could generate adverse publicity that could damage our reputation or the reputation of our brands. If we are unable to effectively manage real or perceived issues, including concerns about product quality, safety, corporate social responsibility or other matters, sentiments toward the Company or our products could be negatively impacted, and our financial results could suffer.

***We may not have adequate funds to implement our business plan***.

Although we have received capital from our parent company to meet our working capital and financing needs in the past, and have successfully completed our IPO, additional financing may be required in order to meet our current and projected cash requirements for operations. We cannot be assured that we will secure all or any of the funding we anticipate. If our entire original capital is fully expended and additional costs cannot be funded from borrowings or capital from other sources, then our financial condition, results of operations and business performance would be materially adversely affected. We cannot assure you that we will have adequate capital or financing to conduct our business or to grow.

***Our ability to resell and/or license our products will depend upon successful clinical trials.***

Only a small number of research and development programs result in the development of a product that obtains FDA approval. Success in preclinical work or early stage clinical trials does not ensure that later stage or larger scale clinical trials will be successful. Conducting clinical trials is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process. Our ability to complete our clinical trials in a timely fashion depends in large part on a number of key factors including protocol design, regulatory and institutional review board approval, the rate of patient enrollment in clinical trials, and compliance with extensive current Good Clinical Practices. If we fail to adequately manage the design, execution and regulatory aspects of our clinical trials, our studies and ultimately our regulatory approvals may be delayed, or we may fail to gain approval for our product candidates. Clinical trials may indicate that our product candidates have harmful side effects or raise other safety concerns that may significantly reduce the likelihood of regulatory approval, result in significant restrictions on use and safety warnings in any approved label, adversely affect placement within the treatment paradigm, or otherwise significantly diminish the commercial potential of the product candidate. Also, positive results in a registrational trial may not be replicated in any subsequent confirmatory trials. Even if later stage clinical trials are successful, regulatory authorities may disagree with our view of the data or require additional studies and may fail to approve or delay approval of our product candidates or may grant marketing approval that is more restricted than anticipated, including indications for a narrower patient population than expected and the imposition of safety monitoring or educational requirements or risk evaluation and mitigation strategies. In addition, if another company is the first to file for marketing approval of a competing drug candidate, that company may ultimately receive marketing exclusivity for its drug candidate, thereby reducing the value of our product.

***We face significant competition from other biopharmaceutical and consumer product companies.***

While we believe that our technology, development experience and scientific knowledge provide competitive advantages, we face potential competition from many different sources, including major pharmaceutical, specialty pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies, academic institutions and governmental agencies, and public and private research institutions. Many of our existing or potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than we do and significantly greater experience in the development of drug candidates as well as in obtaining regulatory approvals of those drug candidates in the United States and in foreign countries.

Mergers and acquisitions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries could result in even more resources being concentrated among a small number of our competitors. Competition may increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these industries. Our competitors may succeed in developing, acquiring or licensing, on an exclusive basis, drug candidates that are more effective or less costly than any drug candidate that we may develop.

Our ability to compete successfully will depend largely on our ability to:

● attract qualified scientific, product development and commercial personnel;

● obtain patent or other proprietary protection for our drugs and technologies;

● obtain required regulatory approvals; successfully collaborate with pharmaceutical companies in the discovery, development and commercialization of new drugs; and

● negotiate competitive pricing and reimbursement with third party payors

The availability of our competitors' technologies could limit the demand, and the price we are able to charge for our services and for any drug candidate we develop. The inability to compete with existing or subsequently introduced drug development technologies would have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.

Established pharmaceutical companies and research institutions may invest heavily to accelerate discovery and development of novel compounds or to in license novel compounds that could make our products less competitive, which would have a material adverse impact on our business.

***We are dependent on our collaborative agreements for the development of products and business development, which exposes us to the risk of reliance on the viability of third parties.***

In conducting our research and development activities, we currently rely, and will in the future rely, on collaborative agreements with third parties such as manufacturers, contract research organizations, commercial partners, universities, governmental agencies and not-for-profit organizations for both strategic and financial resources. The loss of, or failure to perform by us or our partners under, any applicable agreements or arrangements, or our failure to secure additional agreements for other products in development, would substantially disrupt or delay our research and development and commercialization activities. Any such loss would likely increase our expenses and materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operation.

***We are a human healthcare and consumer wellness company with no significant revenue. We have incurred operating losses since our inception, and we expect to incur losses for the foreseeable future and may never achieve profitability.***

We have incurred significant operating losses since our inception. To date, we have not generated any revenue and we may not generate any revenue from sales of our clinical analytics services or drug candidates for the foreseeable future. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses and we anticipate that our losses may increase substantially as we expand our drug development programs.

To achieve profitability, we must successfully develop, register and commercialize multiple technologies in biopharmaceuticals and over the counter consumer products. Even if we succeed in developing and commercializing one or more technologies, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue and we may never be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

***We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems to operate our business and a cyber-attack or other breach of our systems, or those of third parties on whom we may rely, could subject us to liability or interrupt the operation of our business.***

We are increasingly dependent on information technology systems to operate our business. A breakdown, invasion, corruption, destruction or interruption of critical information technology systems by employees, others with authorized access to our systems or unauthorized persons could negatively impact operations. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit confidential information and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such information. Additionally, we outsource certain elements of our information technology systems to third parties. As a result of this outsourcing, our third party vendors may or could have access to our confidential information, making such systems vulnerable. Data breaches of our information technology systems, or those of our third party vendors, may pose a risk that sensitive data may be exposed to unauthorized persons or to the public. For example, the loss of clinical trial data from completed or ongoing clinical trials or preclinical studies could result in delays in our regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase our costs to recover or reproduce the data. While we believe that we have taken appropriate security measures to protect our data and information technology systems and have been informed by our third party vendors that they have as well, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent breakdowns or breaches in our systems, or those of our third party vendors, that could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

***If we are unable to obtain U.S. and/or foreign regulatory approval, we will be unable to resell or license our drug candidates.***

Our drug candidates will be subject to extensive governmental regulations relating to, among other things, research, testing, development, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, record keeping, labeling, marketing and distribution of drugs. Rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and an extensive regulatory approval process are required in the U.S. and in many foreign jurisdictions prior to the commercial sale of drug candidates. Satisfaction of these and other regulatory requirements is costly, time-consuming, uncertain and subject to unanticipated delays. It is possible that no drug candidate that we present to the FDA will obtain marketing approval which will significantly diminish the value and desirability of our product candidates. In connection with the clinical trials for our drug candidates, we face risks that:

● the drug candidate may not prove to be efficacious;

● the drug candidate may not prove to be safe;

● the drug candidate may not be readily co-administered or combined with other drugs or drug candidates;

● the results may not confirm the positive results from earlier preclinical studies or clinical trials;

● the results may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA or other

● regulatory agencies; and

● the FDA or other regulatory agencies may require us to carry out additional studies.

We have limited experience in conducting and managing later stage clinical trials necessary to obtain regulatory approvals, including approval by the FDA. However, this risk would be mitigated in the event the Company is successful entering into a co-development agreement with a pharma partner for late stage clinical development. The time required to complete clinical trials and for the FDA and other countries' regulatory review processes is uncertain and typically takes many years. Our analysis of data obtained from preclinical and clinical trials is subject to confirmation and interpretation by regulatory authorities, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. We may also encounter unanticipated delays or increased costs due to government regulation from future legislation or administrative action or changes in FDA policy during the period of product development, clinical trials, and FDA regulatory review.

***We will rely on third parties for manufacturing of our clinical drug supplies; our dependence on these manufacturers may impair the development of our drug candidates.***

We have no ability to internally manufacture the drug candidates that we need to conduct our clinical trials for the products that we acquire. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to rely on third-party manufacturers and other third parties to produce, package and store sufficient quantities of our drug candidates and any future drug candidates for use in our clinical trials. We may face various risks and uncertainties in connection with our reliance on third-party manufacturers, including:

● reliance on third-party manufactures for regulatory compliance and quality assurance;

● the possibility of breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third-party manufacturer because of factors beyond our control;

● the possibility of termination or nonrenewal of our manufacturing agreement by the third-party manufacturer at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us;

● the potential that third-party manufacturers will develop know-how owned by such third-party

● manufacturer in connection with the production of our drug candidates that is necessary for the manufacture of our drug candidates; and

● reliance on third-party manufacturers to assist us in preventing inadvertent disclosure or theft of our proprietary knowledge.

Our drug candidates may be complicated and expensive to manufacture. If our third-party manufacturers fail to deliver our drug candidates for clinical use on a timely basis, with sufficient quality, and at commercially reasonable prices, we may be required to delay or suspend clinical trials or otherwise discontinue development of our drug candidates. While we may be able to identify replacement third-party manufacturers or develop our own manufacturing capabilities for these drug candidates, this process would likely cause a delay in the availability of our drug candidates and an increase in costs. In addition, third-party manufacturers may have a limited number of facilities in which our drug candidates can be manufactured, and any interruption of the operation of those facilities due to events such as equipment malfunction or failure or damage to the facility by natural disasters could result in the cancellation of shipments, loss of product in the manufacturing process or a shortfall in available drug candidates.

**Risks Related to Intellectual Property Rights**

***We rely on various intellectual property rights, including patents and licenses, in order to operate our business.***

Our intellectual property rights may not be sufficiently broad or otherwise may not provide us a significant competitive advantage. In addition, the steps that we have taken to maintain and protect our intellectual property may not prevent it from being challenged, invalidated, circumvented or designed-around, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. In some circumstances, enforcement may not be available to us because an infringer has a dominant intellectual property position or for other business reasons, or countries may require compulsory licensing of our intellectual property. Our failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property rights that convey competitive advantage, adequately protect our intellectual property or detect or prevent circumvention or unauthorized use of such property, could adversely impact our competitive position and results of operations. We also rely on nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that these agreements will adequately protect our trade secrets and other proprietary rights and will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or other proprietary rights.

As we expand our business, protecting our intellectual property will become increasingly important. The protective steps we have taken may be inadequate to deter our competitors from using our proprietary information. In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may be required to initiate litigation against third parties, such as infringement lawsuits. Also, these third parties may assert claims against us with or without provocation. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time and could divert management's attention from other business concerns. The law relating to the scope and validity of claims in the technology field in which we operate is still evolving and, consequently, intellectual property positions in our industry are generally uncertain. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any of these potential suits or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, would be commercially valuable.

***The Company could be negatively impacted if found to have infringed on intellectual property rights.***

Technology companies frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. In addition, patent holding companies seek to monetize patents they have purchased or otherwise obtained. As the Company grows, the intellectual property rights claims against it will likely increase. The Company intends to vigorously defend infringement actions in court and before the U.S. International Trade Commission. The plaintiffs in these actions frequently seek injunctions and substantial damages. Regardless of the scope or validity of such patents or other intellectual property rights, or the merits of any claims by potential or actual litigants, the Company may have to engage in protracted litigation. If the Company is found to infringe one or more patents or other intellectual property rights, regardless of whether it can develop non-infringing technology, it may be required to pay substantial damages or royalties to a third-party, or it may be subject to a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting the Company from marketing or selling certain products. In certain cases, the Company may consider the desirability of entering into licensing agreements, although no assurance can be given that such licenses can be obtained on acceptable terms or that litigation will not occur. These licenses may also significantly increase the Company's operating expenses. Regardless of the merit of particular claims, litigation may be expensive, time-consuming, disruptive to the Company's operations and distracting to management. In recognition of these considerations, the Company may enter into arrangements to settle litigation. If one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company's consolidated financial statements for that reporting period could be materially adversely affected. Further, such an outcome could result in significant compensatory, punitive or trebled monetary damages, disgorgement of revenue or profits, remedial corporate measures or injunctive relief against the Company that could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

***We rely heavily on our technology and intellectual property, but we may be unable to adequately or cost-effectively protect or enforce our intellectual property rights, thereby weakening our competitive position and increasing operating costs.***

To protect our rights in our services and technology, we rely on a combination of copyright and trademark laws, patents, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements and protective contractual provisions. We also rely on laws pertaining to trademarks and domain names to protect the value of our corporate brands and reputation. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our services or technology, obtain and use information, marks, or technology that we regard as proprietary, or otherwise violate or infringe our intellectual property rights. In addition, it is possible that others could independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property. If we do not effectively protect our intellectual property, or if others independently develop substantially equivalent intellectual property, our competitive position could be weakened.

Effectively policing the unauthorized use of our services and technology is time-consuming and costly, and the steps taken by us may not prevent misappropriation of our technology or other proprietary assets. The efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective, and unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our services, use similar marks or domain names, or obtain and use information, marks, or technology that we regard as proprietary. We may have to litigate to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of others' proprietary rights, which are sometimes not clear or may change. Litigation can be time consuming and expensive, and the outcome can be difficult to predict.

***We rely on agreements with third parties to provide certain services, goods, technology, and intellectual property rights necessary to enable us to implement some of our applications.***

Our ability to implement and provide our applications and services to our clients depends, in part, on services, goods, technology, and intellectual property rights owned or controlled by third parties. These third parties may become unable to or refuse to continue to provide these services, goods, technology, or intellectual property rights on commercially reasonable terms consistent with our business practices, or otherwise discontinue a service important for us to continue to operate our applications. If we fail to replace these services, goods, technologies, or intellectual property rights in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms, our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. In addition, we exercise limited control over our third-party vendors, which increases our vulnerability to problems with technology and services those vendors provide. If the services, technology, or intellectual property of third parties were to fail to perform as expected, it could subject us to potential liability, adversely affect our renewal rates, and have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

***If any third-party owners of intellectual property we may license in the future do not properly maintain or enforce the patents underlying such licenses, our competitive position and business prospects will be harmed.***

We may enter into licenses for third-party intellectual property in the future. Our success will depend in part on the ability of our licensors to obtain, maintain and enforce patent protection for their intellectual property, in particular, those patents to which we have secured exclusive rights.

If applicable, our licensors may not successfully prosecute the patent applications to which we are licensed. Even if patents issue in respect of any such patent applications, our licensors may fail to maintain these patents, may determine not to pursue litigation against other companies that are infringing these patents, or may pursue such litigation less aggressively than we would. In addition, our licensors may terminate their agreements with us in the event we breach the applicable license agreement and fail to cure the breach within a specified period of time. Without protection for the intellectual property we license, other companies might be able to offer substantially identical products for sale, which could materially adversely affect our competitive business position, business prospects and financial condition.

Because our research and development of drug candidates often incorporates compounds and other information that is the intellectual property of third parties, we depend on continued access to such intellectual property to conduct and complete our preclinical and clinical research and commercialize the drug candidates that result from this research. We expect that future licenses would impose, numerous obligations on us. For example, under our existing and future license agreements, we may be required to pay (i) annual maintenance fees until a drug candidate is sold for the first time, (ii) running royalties on net sales of drug candidates, (iii) minimum annual royalties after a drug candidate is sold for the first time, and (iv) one-time payments upon the achievement of specified milestones. We may also be required to reimburse patent costs incurred by the licensor, or we may be obligated to pay additional royalties, at specified rates, based on net sales of our drug candidates that incorporate the licensed intellectual property rights. We may also be obligated under some of these agreements to pay a percentage of any future sublicensing revenues that we may receive. Future license agreements may also include payment obligations such as milestone payments or minimum expenditures for research and development. We expect that any future licenses will contain reporting, insurance and indemnification requirements. We are actively reviewing and preparing additional patent applications to expand our patent portfolio, but there can be no assurances that patents related to our existing patent applications or any applications we may file in the future will be issued or that any issued patents will provide meaningful protection for our drug candidates, which could materially adversely affect our competitive business position, business prospects and financial condition.

***Confidentiality agreements with employees and others may not adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information and may not adequately protect our intellectual property.***

We rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. In order to protect our proprietary technology and processes, we also rely in part on confidentiality and intellectual property assignment agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators and sponsored researchers and other advisors. These agreements may not effectively prevent disclosure of confidential information nor result in the effective assignment to us of intellectual property and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or other breaches of the agreements. In addition, others may independently discover our trade secrets and proprietary information, and in such case, we could not assert any trade secret rights against such party. Enforcing a claim that a party illegally obtained and is using our trade secrets is difficult, expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the U.S. may be less willing to protect trade secrets. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to seek to enforce and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

**Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities**

***The market price of our common stock may be highly volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.***

The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile. Our stock has a relatively small public float, and the concentrated ownership of our common stock among our executive officers and directors, and greater than 5% stockholders. As a result of our small public float, our common stock may be less liquid and have greater stock price volatility than the common stock of companies with broader public ownership.

Our stock price could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of other factors, which include:

● sales of our common stock by our stockholders, executives, and directors;

● volatility and limitations in trading volumes of our shares of common stock;

● our ability to obtain financing to conduct and complete research and development activities;

● our ability to attract new customers;

● changes in the development status of the drugs we acquire;

● failures to meet external expectations or management guidance;

● changes in our capital structure or dividend policy or future issuances of securities;

● our cash position;

● announcements and events surrounding financing efforts, including debt and equity securities;

● reputational issues;

● announcements of acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, new products, capital commitments, or other events by us or our competitors;

● changes in general economic, political and market conditions in or any of the regions in which we conduct our business;

● changes in industry conditions or perceptions;

● changes in valuations of similar companies or groups of companies;

● analyst research reports, recommendation and changes in recommendations, price targets, and withdrawals of coverage;

● departures and additions of key personnel;

● disputes and litigations related to intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, and contractual obligations;

● changes in applicable laws, rules, regulations, or accounting practices and other dynamics; and

● other events or factors, many of which may be out of our control.

In addition, if the market for stocks in our industry or industries related to our industry, or the stock market in general, experiences a loss of investor confidence, the trading price of our common stock could decline for reasons unrelated to our business, financial condition and results of operations. If any of the foregoing occurs, it could cause our stock price to fall and may expose us to lawsuits that, even if unsuccessful, could be costly to defend and a distraction to management.

***We do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.***

To date we have not paid any dividends, and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain from an investment in our common stock for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience a gain from your investment in our common stock if the price of our common stock increases.

***Our certificate of incorporation grants our Board of Directors the power to designate and issue additional shares of common and/or preferred stock.***

Our authorized capital consists of 4,000,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our preferred stock may be designated into series pursuant to authority granted by our certificate of incorporation, and on approval from our Board. The Board, without any action by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares in such classes or series as the Board deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. The rights of holders of other classes or series of stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our common stock. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of our common stock.

***We are an "emerging growth company" under the federal securities laws and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.***

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are not applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

In addition, an "emerging growth company" may take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an "emerging growth company" can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We are choosing to take advantage of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1.235 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

Investors may be unable to compare our business with other companies in our industry if they believe that our financial accounting is not as transparent as other companies in our industry. If we are unable to raise additional capital as and when we need it, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

***If we fail to comply with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American LLC Exchange, it may result in a delisting of our common stock from the exchange.***

Our common stock is currently listed for trading on the NYSE American LLC Exchange ("NYSE American"), and the continued listing of our common stock on the NYSE American is subject to our compliance with a number of listing standards.

If our common stock were no longer listed on the NYSE American, investors might only be able to trade our shares on the OTC Bulletin Board® or in the Pink Sheets® (a quotation medium operated by Pink Sheets LLC). This would impair the liquidity of our common stock not only in the number of shares that could be bought and sold at a given price, which might be depressed by the relative illiquidity, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in media coverage.

***If we are delisted from the NYSE American, your ability to sell your shares of our common stock may be limited by the penny stock restrictions, which could further limit the marketability of your shares.***

If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American, it could come within the definition of a "penny stock" as defined in the Exchange Act and could be covered by Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act. That rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, Rule 15g-9, if it were to become applicable, would affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to sell our securities, and accordingly would affect the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the public market. These additional procedures could also limit our ability to raise additional capital in the future.

***If our common stock is not listed on a national securities exchange, compliance with applicable state securities laws may be required for certain offers, transfers and sales of the shares of our common stock.***

Because our common stock is listed on the NYSE American, we are not required to register or qualify in any state the offer, transfer or sale of the common stock. If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE American and is not eligible to be listed on another national securities exchange, sales of stock pursuant to the exercise of warrants and transfers of the shares of our common stock sold by us in private placements to U.S. holders may not be exempt from state securities laws. In such event, it will be the responsibility of us in the case of warrant exercises or the holder of privately placed shares to register or qualify the shares for any offer, transfer or sale in the United States or to determine that any such offer, transfer or sale is exempt under applicable state securities laws.

Impact BioMedical has several unique and proprietary technologies that are in continuing development.

Linebacker

Linebacker is a platform of small molecule electrophilically enhanced polyphenol compounds with potential application in oncology (solid tumors), inflammatory disorders, and neurology. Polyphenols are substances found in many nuts, vegetables, and berries. Linebacker compounds are modified Myricetin, which is a common plant-derived flavonoid. Myricetin exhibits a wide range of activities that include strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities (source: NIH).

Linebacker can potentially be developed as monotherapy or co-therapy to down-regulate PIM (proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus) kinase which plays a key role as an oncogene in various cancers (e.g. colon, lung, prostate, breast). Additional potential applications include inflammatory disorders and neurology.

Linebacker-1 and Linebacker-2 compounds have been licensed to ProPhase Laboratories (NASDAQ: PRPH) for development and commercialization worldwide, from which Impact Biomedical could receive future milestone and royalty payments.

Laetose

Laetose™ technology demonstrates compelling potential in reducing caloric intake and glycemic index in foods, while also inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a cytokine associated with inflammatory chronic diseases (data on file with IBO).

The patented formulation has potential to inhibit the inflammatory and metabolic response of sugar alone and has potential applications in therapeutic administration to reduce or limit inflammatory or metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes). Use of Laetose in a daily diet, compared to sugar, could result in 30% lower sugar consumption and lower caloric and glycemic index/load.

Laetose has a unique composition patent allowed in the United States and other countries worldwide.

IBO is actively seeking potential partners for further development and commercialization of Laetose as a consumer-packaged or biopharmaceutical offering worldwide.

Functional Fragrance Formulation ("3F")

3F is a suite of "functional fragrances" containing specialized botanical ingredients (e.g., terpenes) with potential application as an antimicrobial, or as an additive in insect repellents, detergents, lotions, shampoo, fabrics and other substances to increase effectiveness.

IBO has partnered with the Chemia Corporation (St. Louis, MO) to pursue development of the 3F technology. Chemia is a leading developer and manufacturer of fragrances and flavors.

In addition to Chemia, IBO is actively seeking potential partners for further development and commercialization of 3F worldwide, given the broad application of this technology.

Composition patents have been issued in the U.S. and are pending in other countries.

Equivir

Equivir/Equivir G technology is a novel blend of FDA Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) eligible polyphenols (e.g. Myricetin, Hesperetin, Piperine) which have demonstrated antiviral effects with additional potential application as health supplements or medication. Polyphenols are substances found in many nuts, vegetables, and berries. Myricetin is a member of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. Hesperitin is a flavanone and Piperine is an alkaloid, commonly found in black pepper.

Equivir/Equivir G is licensed to ProPhase Laboratories for development and commercialization worldwide. ProPhase Lab's initial focus is for use as an over-the-counter offering for upper respiratory wellness. Additional applications could be pursued in the future.

Method and composition patents are issued in the U.S. and other countries.

Emerging Technology

Impact BioMedical continually evaluates additional proprietary technologies that are in various phases of development. These include, and are not limited to biopharmaceuticals, indoor air quality products, preservatives, bioplastics, personalized medicine (e.g. genomics, diagnostics), nanotechnology, cannabis products and technology, pain management, and others.

These activities include discussions with potential companies/technologies which, subject to completion of diligence, and approval of the respective management boards, could potentially expand the offerings of Impact Biomedical Inc. There is no assurance that anyone, or all, of these will result in a material transaction and this is exemplary of consistent and ongoing search and discovery efforts within Impact Biomedical Inc.

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada as a for-profit company on October 16, 2018, and established a fiscal year end of December 31st. The Company issued 9,000 shares to Global BioMedical Pte. Ltd., which was wholly–owned by Alset International Limited (formally Singapore eDevelopment Limited), a multinational public company, listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGXST"). On March 31, 2020, the Company issued 125,064,621 shares of common stock to its sole shareholder Global BioMedical Pte. Ltd. On July 24, 2020, the Board approved the Stock Split, pursuant to which each share of the Company's common stock issued and outstanding was split into nine shares of the Company's common stock. The numbers of authorized common stock and issued and outstanding common stock in the reporting periods were retrospectively adjusted for the stock split.

On March 12, 2020 Alset International Limited ("Alset"), a related party, Global BioMedical Pte Ltd., a related party, DSS, Inc ("DSS"), a related party, and DSS BioHealth Security Inc. ("DSS BioHealth"), a related party, signed Term Sheets and subsequently on April 21, 2020, these four companies entered into Share Exchange Agreement ("Share Exchange"), based on which Global BioMedical Pte Ltd., agreed to sell all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company to DSS BioHealth in exchange for the combination of common and preferred shares of DSS. Under the terms of the Share Exchange, DSS issued 483,334 shares of the DSS Common Stock nominally valued at $6.48 per share, and 46,868 newly issued shares of the DSS Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock"), with a stated value of $46,868,000, or $1,000 per share, for a total consideration valued at $50 million. Due to several factors, including a discount for illiquidity, the value of the Series A Preferred Stock was discounted from $46,868,000 to $35,187,000, thus reducing the final consideration given to approximately $38,319,000. The Company's Chairman, Heng Fai Ambrose Chan, a related party, who is also the largest shareholder of Alset, at the time of the signing of the Share Exchange Agreement was the beneficial owner of approximately 18.3% of the outstanding shares of DSS and is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of DSS. On August 21, 2020, the transaction was concluded, and the Company became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DSS BioHealth. In connection with the acquisition, and the related accounting determination, DSS BioHealth has elected to apply push-down accounting and reflect in its financial statements of Impact BioMedical, the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Utilizing an income approach, the Company has completed its valuations of certain developed technology and pending patents assets acquired in the transaction as well the fair value of the non-controlling interests. More specifically, a Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method ("MPEEM") estimates the value of an intangible asset by quantifying the amount of residual (or excess) estimated cash flows generated by the asset and discounting those cash flows to the present. These have been valued at approximately $22,260,000 and $3,910,000, respectively, and are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet on December 31, 2020. Estimated useful life of these assets is twenty years, based on the remaining terms of the related patents, with annual amortization approximating $1,113,000. The Company has also completed its valuation of goodwill and deferred tax liabilities of Impact BioMedical, and has recorded goodwill of approximately $25,093,000, driven by other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, and a deferred tax liability of approximately $5,234,000. During the Company's annual review of goodwill, it was deemed necessary to impair it in full during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The decrease in net loss over year is attributable to the Company's impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2024 offset the change in fair value (gain) of the amended Note payable, related party. Further, The company recorded a tax benefit of $2,580,000 for the tax year ending December 31, 2025. (See Note 11)

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company has historically met its liquidity and capital requirements primarily through debt financing. The Company's management intends to take additional actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs.

**Cash Flow from Operating Activities**

Net cash used by operating activities was $1,890,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to cash used by operating activities of $2,854,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease driven by a reduction in prepaid and other current assets of approximately $391,000, as well as a reduction in cash outlay for accounts payable of approximately $906,000.

**Cash Flow from Investing Activities**

Net cash provided by investing activities was $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. This activity remains flat and is associated with interest collected on a Company's notes receivable.

**Cash Flow from Financing Activities**

Net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $109,000 and represents borrowings from DSS of $184,000, offset by payments of $293,000. Financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents $1,124,000 in borrowings from DSS and $3,726,000 in proceeds from the Company's IPO, net of issuances costs.

**Continuing Operations and Going Concern**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

To continue as a going concern, the Company is exploring several options to raise capital including but not limited to, capital raises via its listing on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol IBO as well as debt financing. The Company's management intends to take additional actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs.

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, an effect on our financial condition, financial statements, revenues or expenses.

**Inflation**

Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during 2025 or 2024.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes. The financial statements as of December 31, 2025, describe the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the financial statements. There have been no material changes to such critical accounting policies as of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments***

Fair value is defined 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, prepaids, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do reflect recent market conditions. The Company's investments are recorded at cost as the fair value of these investment in is not readily available. The fair value of notes payable approximates its carrying value as the stated interest rate reflects recent market conditions.

***Goodwill***

Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, and overall financial performance of the business. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. Cash flow projections are derived from one-year budgeted amounts plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are determined by management. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Projected cash flows, evaluated using a 26.3% discount rate and 3.0% terminal growth, indicated equity fair value far below the carrying amount, driven by limited historical revenues and sustained operating losses. Additional working-capital and related-party debt balance considerations further reduced equity value in the analysis. Taken together, these factors constituted triggering events and supported recording a goodwill impairment in the amount of $25,093,000 as of December 31, 2024 representing the full goodwill balance. Goodwill is $0 as of December 31, 2025.

***Intangible Assets***

The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of December 31<sup>st</sup>, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. No impairment was recognized as of December 31, 2025 or year ended December 31, 2024.

***Continuing Operations and Going Concern***

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

To continue as a going concern, the Company is exploring several options to raise capital including but not limited to, capital raises via its listing on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol IBO as well as debt financing. The Company's management intends to take additional actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs.

***Revenue***

The Company has adopted *ASC Topic 606*, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606").* The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborators for the development of its technologies. The terms of these agreements contain multiple performance obligations which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company's technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, and/or (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner. Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under the agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied at a specific point in time.

The Company recognizes its revenue on the sale of its Celios technology based on when the product is shipped to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for shipped product. Sales and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Impact Biomedical, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Impact Biomedical, Inc., and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Substantial Doubt Regarding the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern**

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. Management's plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

**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 financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/S/ GRASSI & CO., CPAs, P.C.

We have served as the Company's auditor since 2022.

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS**

*Nature of Operations*

Impact BioMedical, Inc., incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 16, 2018 (the "Company", "Impact BioMedical", "We", "IBO"), discovers, confirms, and patents unique science and technologies which can be developed into new offerings in human healthcare and wellness in collaboration with external partners through licensing, co-development, joint ventures, and other relationships. By leveraging technology and new science with strategic partnerships, we provide advances in biopharmaceuticals, over the counter direct to consumer wellness offerings, and drug discovery for the prevention, inhibition, and treatment of neurological, oncologic, and inflammatory diseases. In addition to our existing efforts, we continually search for, and evaluate, other potential new offerings to add to our portfolio.

Our business model includes partnering and potentially direct sales for commercialization and distribution. Potential licensors and development partners include pharmaceutical, consumer packaged goods companies and others, who would commercialize IBO technologies in exchange for milestone, and royalty payments. Currently, our operations are conducted, and our assets are owned through our principal subsidiaries: (i) Global BioLife, Inc. ("Global BioLife"), which was incorporated on April 14, 2017, (ii) Impact BioLife Science, Inc. ("Impact BioLife"), which was incorporated on August 28, 2020, (iii) Global BioMedical, Inc. ("Global BioMedical"), which was incorporated on April 18, 2017, and (iv) Sweet Sense, Inc. ("Sweet Sense"), which was incorporated on April 30, 2018.

Impact has several unique and proprietary technologies that are in continuing development:

**<u>Linebacker</u>™**

Linebacker is a platform of small molecule electrophilically enhanced polyphenol compounds with potential application in oncology (solid tumors), inflammatory disorders, and neurology. Polyphenols are substances found in many nuts, vegetables, and berries. Linebacker compounds are modified Myricetin, which is a common plant-derived flavonoid. Myricetin exhibits a wide range of activities that include strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

Linebacker can potentially be developed as monotherapy or co-therapy to down-regulate PIM (proviral integration site for Moloney murine leukemia virus) kinase which plays a key role as an oncogene in various cancers (e.g. colon, lung, prostate, breast). Additional potential applications include inflammatory disorders and neurology.

Linebacker-1 and Linebacker-2 compounds have been licensed to ProPhase Laboratories (NASDAQ: PRPH) for development and commercialization worldwide, from which Impact Biomedical could receive future milestone and royalty payments.

**<u>Laetose</u>™**

Laetose™ technology demonstrates compelling potential in reducing caloric intake and glycemic index in foods, while also inhibiting tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), a cytokine associated with inflammatory chronic diseases (data on file with IBO).

The patented formulation has potential to inhibit the inflammatory and metabolic response of sugar alone and has potential applications in therapeutic administration to reduce or limit inflammatory or metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes). Use of Laetose in a daily diet, compared to sugar, could result in 30% lower sugar consumption and lower caloric and glycemic index/load.

**<u>Functional Fragrance Formulation ("3F")</u>**

3F is a suite of "functional fragrances" containing specialized botanical ingredients (e.g., terpenes) with potential application as an antimicrobial, or as an additive in insect repellents, detergents, lotions, shampoo, fabrics and other substances to increase effectiveness. Global BioLife is seeking to commercialize this product. Together with Chemia, we are attempting to license 3F. Any potential profits from the 3F project will be split between Global BioLife and Chemia pursuant to the terms of the 20- year Royalty Agreement.

**<u>Equivir™/Equivir G</u>**

Equivir/Equivir G technology is a novel blend of FDA Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) eligible polyphenols (e.g. Myricetin, Hesperetin, Piperine) which have demonstrated antiviral effects with additional potential application as health supplements or medication. Polyphenols are substances found in many nuts, vegetables, and berries. Myricetin is a member of the flavonoid class of polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. Hesperitin is a flavanone and Piperine is an alkaloid, commonly found in black pepper. Equivir/Equivir G is licensed to ProPhase Laboratories for development and commercialization worldwide

**Emerging Technology**

IBO continually evaluates additional technologies that are in various phases of development which can be advanced to patent filings and allowances. These include, and are not limited to biopharmaceuticals, indoor air quality products, preservatives, bioplastics, personalized medicine (e.g., genomics, diagnostics), nanotechnology, cannabis products and technology, pain management, and others. These activities include discussions with inventors, scientists, universities, research foundations, and other parties, which, subject to completion of diligence, and approval of the respective management, could potentially expand the offerings of IBO.

As of the date of this report, we have not generated significant revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including possible delays in our research, testing and marketing efforts or wider economic downturns.

**2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

***Principles of Consolidation*** – The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company and its majority owned and controlled subsidiaries. The Company consolidates entities in which it owns more than 50% of the voting common stock and controls operations. All intercompany transactions and balances among consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Non–controlling interest represents the minority equity investment in the Company's subsidiaries, plus the minority investors' share of the net operating results and other components of equity relating to the non–controlling interest.

The consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the entities as of the reporting period ending dates and for the reporting periods as follows:

As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the aggregate noncontrolling interest was equity of $2,946,000 and $2,978,000, respectively, which are separately disclosed on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

***Use of Estimates*** – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

***Reclassifications*** *-* Costs in the amount of $397,000 associated with research and development have been reclassed from Professional fees to Research and development expenses for year ended December 31, 2024 on the accompanying Consolidated statements of operations to conform with current period presentation. Accrued interest on notes payable, related party year ended December 31, 2024 in the amount of $1,065,000 was reclassed from Borrowings on notes payable, related party on the accompanying Statement of cash flows to conform with current period presentation. Also, $399,000 was reclassed from Accounts payable to Due to related party for year ended December 31, 2024 on the accompanying Consolidated balance sheet to conform with current period presentation.

***Earnings (Loss) per Share*** *-* Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to the common stockholders by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Fully diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed like basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2024 include 60,496,041 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, 880,000 options priced at $3.00 per share expiring on October 31, 2031 and 75,000 warrants priced at $3.75 per share which expired on June 13, 2025. The of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares, were converted into common shares in October of 2025 and the 880,000 options priced at $3.00 per share were forfeited in November 2025 in exchange for stock grants which where distributed in January 2026.

There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Fair Value of Financial Instruments*** *–* Fair value is defined 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. The Fair Value Measurement Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

● Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

● Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

● Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet of cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of notes receivable approximates their carrying value as the stated or discounted rates of the notes do reflect recent market conditions. Notes payable, related party are recorded at fair value based on several factors (see Note 9).

***Notes receivable, unearned interest, and related recognition*** – The Company records all future payments of principal and interest on notes as notes receivable, which are then offset by the amount of any related unearned interest income. For financial statement purposes, the Company reports the net investment in the notes receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as current or long-term based on the maturity date of the underlying notes. Such net investment is comprised of the amount advanced on the loans, adjusting for net deferred loan fees or costs incurred at origination, amounts allocated to warrants received upon origination, and any payments received in advance, if applicable. The unearned interest is recognized over the term of the notes and the income portion of each note payment is calculated so as to generate a constant rate of return on the net balance outstanding. If applicable, any net deferred loan fees or costs, together with discounts recognized in connection with warrants acquired at origination, are accreted as an adjustment to yield over the term of the loan. (Note 4)

***Property, Plant and Equipment* –** Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or lease period of the assets whichever is shorter. Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized. Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Any gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place.

***Research and Development* -** Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs were $340,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and $278,000 for year ended December 31, 2024.

***Goodwill*** – Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. FASB ASC Topic 350 provides an entity with the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Some of the qualitative factors considered in applying this test include consideration of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors affecting the business, and overall financial performance of the business. If, after completing the assessment, it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company will proceed to a quantitative test. If qualitative factors are not deemed sufficient to conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit more likely than not exceeds its carrying value, then a one-step approach is applied in making an evaluation. The evaluation utilizes an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). The computations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, including, among other things, selection of comparable publicly traded companies, the discount rate applied to future earnings reflecting a weighted average cost of capital, and earnings growth assumptions. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in our impairment assessments are reasonable and based on available market information, but variations in any of the assumptions could result in materially different calculations of fair value and determinations of whether or not an impairment is indicated. A discounted cash flow analysis requires management to make various assumptions about future sales, operating margins, capital expenditures, working capital, and growth rates. Cash flow projections are derived from one-year budgeted amounts plus an estimate of later period cash flows, all of which are determined by management. Subsequent period cash flows are developed for each reporting unit using growth rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur. Impairment of goodwill is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the fair values of recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Projected cash flows, evaluated using a 26.3% discount rate and 3.0% terminal growth, indicated equity fair value far below the carrying amount, driven by limited historical revenues and sustained operating losses. Additional working-capital and related-party debt balance considerations further reduced equity value in the analysis.

Taken together, these factors constituted triggering events and supported recording a goodwill impairment in the amount of $25,093,000 as of December 31, 202 representing the full goodwill balance. Goodwill is $0 as of December 31, 2025.

***Intangible Assets*** - The estimated fair values of acquired intangibles are generally determined based upon future economic benefits such as earnings and cash flows. Acquired identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. Acquired intangible assets with an indefinite life are not amortized but are reviewed for impairment at least annually as of December 31<sup>st</sup>, or more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets are below their estimated fair values. Impairment is tested under ASC 350. No impairment was recognized as of year ended December 31, 2025 or the year ended December 31, 2024 (Note 7).

***Recoverability of Long-Lived Assets -*** We evaluate long-lived assets such as property, equipment and definite lived intangible assets, such as patents, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets recognized in our financial statements may not be recoverable. Factors that we consider include whether there has been a significant decrease in the market value of an asset, a significant change in the way an asset is being utilized, or a significant change, delay or departure in our strategy for that asset, or a significant change in the macroeconomic environment, such as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves significant judgment and estimation. These assessments reflect our assumptions, which, we believe, are consistent with the assumptions hypothetical marketplace participants use. Factors that we must estimate when performing recoverability and impairment tests include, among others, forecasted revenue, margin costs and the economic life of the asset. If impairment is indicated, we determine if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amounts of the asset or assets. If so, an impairment loss is measured and recognized.

Our impairment loss calculations require that we apply judgment in identifying asset groups, estimating future cash flows, determining asset fair values, and estimating asset's useful lives. The Company reviews identifiable amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. Determination of recoverability is based on the lowest level of identifiable estimated undiscounted cash flows resulting from use of the asset and its eventual disposition. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. Based on the uncertainty of forecasts inherent with a new product, events such as the failure to generate forecasted revenue from new products could result in a non-cash impairment in future periods.

***Due to related party* -** The Company has amounts due to DSS, a related party, resulting from funding advances and shared expenses in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, amounts due to the related party totaled $621,000 and $399,000, respectively. The amounts are non-interest bearing. and are due upon demand.

***Revenue*** - The Company has adopted *ASC Topic 606*, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606").* The Company enters into licensing and development agreements with collaborators for the development of its technologies. The terms of these agreements contain multiple performance obligations which may include (i) licenses, or options to obtain licenses, to the Company's technology, (ii) rights to future technological improvements, and/or (iii) research activities to be performed on behalf of the collaborative partner. Payments to the Company under these agreements may include upfront fees, option fees, exercise fees, payments based upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalties on product sales. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under the agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it is entitled in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when or as the performance obligation is satisfied at a specific point in time.

The Company recognizes its revenue on the sale of its Celios technology based on when the product is shipped to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for shipped product. Sales and other taxes billed and collected from customers are excluded from revenue.

***Provision for Credit Losses*** - The Company adopted amended accounting guidance ASC Topic 326 which requires an allowance for credit losses to be deducted from the amortized cost basis of financial assets to present the net carrying value at the amount that is expected to be collected over the contractual term of the asset considering relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In estimating expected losses in the loan and lease portfolio, borrower-specific financial data and macro-economic assumptions are utilized to project losses over a reasonable and supportable forecast period. Assumptions and judgment are applied to measure amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, collateral values and other factors used to determine the borrowers' abilities to repay obligations. After the forecast period, the Company utilizes longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company has deemed that no reserve on credit losses were necessary.

***Acquisitions***  ***-*** Acquisition of assets are recorded at their relative fair value based on total accumulated costs of the acquisition. Direct acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. This includes all costs related to finding, analyzing and negotiating a transaction. The allocation of the purchase price is an area that requires judgment and significant estimates. Tangible and intangible assets include land, building and improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, acquired above market and below market leases, in-place lease value (if applicable). Acquisition-date fair values of assets and assumed liabilities are determined based on replacement costs, appraised values, and estimated fair values using methods like those used by independent appraisers and that use appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information.

On February 25, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets owned by DSS Pure Air, Inc. (DSS PureAir"), a related party, for $1,150,000 to be paid by 545,024 shares of the Company's common stock calculated on a 10-day VWAP. Assets acquired included accounts receivable, inventory and intellectual property of the Celios air purification system. Assets acquired included accounts receivable valued at approximately $4,000, prepaid assets of approximately $2,000, inventory valued at approximately $489,000, and intellectual property of the Celios air purification system of approximately $325,000, inclusive of a $330,000 premium paid for the assets acquired. This premium of $330,000 is accounted for in accordance with ASC 805-50, when assets are transferred between entities under common control, the premium should not be recorded as an asset or as part of the transaction price.

***Continuing Operations and Going Concern*** - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has incurred operating losses as well as negative cash flows from operating activities over the past two years. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the financial statements are issued. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the specific amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities, which might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

To continue as a going concern the Company is exploring several options to raise capital including but not limited to, capital raises via its listing on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol IBO as well as debt financing. Although there is no certainty that management plans will be able to satisfy the requirements to continue operating as a going concern, management intends to take additional actions necessary to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters include, among other things, monetization of its intellectual properties, and tightly controlling operating costs.

***Segment Reporting***  ***-*** In November 2023, the FASB issued ASC 2023-07, *Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*, which requires enhanced segment disclosures, including expanded information about significant segment expenses, other segment items, and the chief operating decision maker's use of reported segment information. The amendments also apply to public entities with a single reportable segment and do not change how the Company identifies its operating segments, aggregates operating segments, or determines its reportable segments. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 effective January 1, 2024. Adoption of the standard did not affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but did require expanded disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements related to its single reportable segment.

***Income Taxes -*** In December 2023, the FASB issued ASC 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires enhanced annual income tax disclosures, including additional disaggregation of rate reconciliation information and income taxes paid. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 effective January 1, 2025. Adoption of the standard did not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, but did require expanded income tax disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements

***Recent Accounting Standards* -** The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issues various Accounting Standards Updates relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by FASB which are not yet effective. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. As of December 31, 2025, none of these pronouncements is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 ("ASU 2024-03"), *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("DISE")*. ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. ASU 2024-03 does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. As revised by ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, the provisions of ASU 2024-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. With the exception of expanding disclosures to include more granular income statement expense categories, we do not expect the adoption of ASU 2024-03 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets*, which amends the guidance related to the measurement of credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of this guidance, has not yet adopted the standard, and does not currently expect adoption of ASU 2025-05 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

**11. INCOME TAXES**

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, *Income Taxes*, using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse or such carryforwards are expected to be utilized.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of tax benefits which are not expected to be realized.

The components of income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 are as follows:

---

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,702,000 and $13,020,000 respectively. The Company does not have other temporary differences associated with the amortization of intangible assets. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the total deferred tax assets carry-forward were $5,430,000 and $4,416,000, respectively. The deferred tax assets could be carried forward indefinitely. The full utilization of the deferred tax assets in the future is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income. Considering the development stage of the Company, management believed that it was probable that the Company would not use the entirety of its tax assets in the near future. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of approximately $2,374,000 has been established.

The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 the Company recognized no interest and penalties.

**ITEM 9 - CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE**

None

**ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of December 31, 2025. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the Company's CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there were resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly 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.

***Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the framework established in "Internal Control—Integrated Framework" promulgated by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, commonly referred to as the "COSO" criteria. Based on our assessment, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on those criteria.

In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting described above, the following weakness have been identified in the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025:

1. The
 Company did not maintain a sufficient complement of qualified accounting personnel and controls associated with segregation of duties
 over complex transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. There
 was no systematic method of documenting that timely and complete monthly reconciliation and closing procedures take place.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

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***

**Remediation of the Material Weaknesses**

Management believes it has taken significant steps during 2025 to strengthen our overall internal controls and eliminate the material weakness of those controls. During the 2026 fiscal year, the Company will document and test the remediations put in place. Such remediation includes the following:

● The
 Company has centralized its accounting functions across all divisions. The goal of this process is to support the segregation of
 duties and to allow the Chief Financial Officer to focus on ensuring reporting packages, reconciliations, and other financial reports
 are accurate and timely reported.

● A
 monthly operations and financial review is performed with key members of the management team, executive committee, and accounting
 team which has enhanced the timeliness, formality and rigor of our financial statement preparation, review and reporting process.

● Routine
 account reconciliations for all key balance sheet accounts have been initiated. These account reconciliations are reviewed timely
 by an independent person.

● The
 Company will engage an external, independent expert to review significant and/or complex accounting transactions, when appropriate,
 to ensure the proper accounting treatment is applied.

The Company is committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and believes that these remediation efforts will represent significant improvements in our controls. The Company has started to implement these steps, however, some of these steps will take time to be fully integrated and confirmed to be effective and sustainable. Additional controls may also be required over time.

**Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

While changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 as the Company continued to implement the remediation steps described above, we have not been able to fully document and test these controls to ensure their effectiveness over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2025, and thus cannot conclude that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

**Director Independence**

The Company has adopted the standards of NYSE American for determining the independence of its directors.

These independence standards specify the relationships deemed sufficiently material to create the presumption that a director is not independent. No director qualifies as independent unless the Company's Board affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In addition, Section 803A of the NYSE American Company Guide (and related commentary) sets forth the following non-exclusive list of persons who shall not be considered independent:

(a) a
 director who is, or during the past three years was, employed by the Company, other than prior employment as an interim executive
 officer (provided the interim employment did not last longer than one year);

(b) a
 director who accepted or has an immediate family member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during
 any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) compensation
 for Board or Board committee service,

(ii) compensation
 paid to an immediate family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of the Company,

(iii) compensation
 received for former service as an interim executive officer (provided the interim employment did not last longer than one year),
 or

(iv) benefits
 under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation;

(c) a
 director who is an immediate family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the
 Company as an executive officer;

(d) a
 director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of,
 any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments (other than those arising solely from investments
 in the Company's securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs) that exceed 5% of
 the organization's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, in any of the most recent three
 fiscal years;

(e) a
 director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during
 the most recent three fiscal years any of the issuer's executive officers serve on the compensation committee of such other
 entity; or

(f) a
 director who is, or has an immediate family member who is, a current partner of the Company's outside auditor, or was a partner
 or employee of the Company's outside auditor who worked on the Company's audit at any time during any of the past three
 years.

Directors serving on the Company's audit committee must also comply with the additional, more stringent requirements set forth in Section 803B of the NYSE American Company Guide and Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Consistent with these considerations, the Board affirmatively determined that Mr. Castel Hibbert, Mr. Christian Zimmerman, Mr. David Keene, Dr. Elise Brownell and Ms. Melissa Sims each meets the definition of "independent director" under the rules of NYSE American.

Directors serving on the Company's compensation committee must also comply with the additional, more stringent requirements as set forth in Section 805(c) of the NYSE American Company Guide.
