Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited – Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars)
| 1. | Organization and nature of operations |
Elevai Labs Inc. (“Elevai”)
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 9, 2020. Elevai and its
The Company is a skincare development company engaged in the design, manufacture, and marketing of skincare products in the skincare industry. The Company’s principal activities are developing and manufacturing skincare products.
On November 20, 2023 Elevai Labs
Inc. announced the pricing of its initial public offering. The initial public offering consisted of
| 2. | Going Concern |
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31,
2022, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $
The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company is aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans that alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern include raising additional debt or equity financing. In addition, in February 2023, the Company filed its preliminary initial registration (S-1 Form) with the SEC pursuant to its goal of completing an initial public offering (“IPO”). The Company plans to use funds raised in a successful IPO to accelerate new product development, inventory production, increasing its sales force and expanding into new markets.
The outbreak of the coronavirus, also known as “COVID-19”, has spread across the globe and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and government authorities have implemented emergency measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related mitigation measures may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the Company’s business activities. The extent to which the coronavirus may impact the Company’s business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the USA and Canada and other countries to contain and treat the disease. These events are highly uncertain and as such, the Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. While certain restrictions are presently in the process of being relaxed, it is unclear when the world will return to the previous normal, if ever. This may adversely impact the expected implementation of the Company’s plans moving forward.

| 3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are expressed in United States dollars. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Elevai, and its
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited condensed 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, the collectability of receivables, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative liabilities and stock options, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Elevai Research is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities, and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
The accounts of Elevai Research are translated to U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Related exchange gains and losses are included in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

New Accounting Standards
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, ASC Subtopic 326 “Credit Losses”: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. Since the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, the Board has provided resources to monitor and assist stakeholders with the implementation of Topic 326. Post-Implementation Review (PIR) activities have included forming a Credit Losses Transition Resource Group, conducting outreach with stakeholders of all types, developing educational materials and staff question-and-answer guidance, conducting educational workshops, and performing an archival review of financial reports. ASU No. 2022-02 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Company assesses the adoption impacts of recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, ASC Subtopic 820 “Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions”. The FASB is issuing this Update (1) to clarify the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security, (2) to amend a related illustrative example, and (3) to introduce new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820.
Stakeholders asserted that the language in the illustrative example resulted in diversity in practice on whether the effects of a contractual restriction that prohibits the sale of an equity security should be considered in measuring that equity security’s fair value. Some stakeholders apply a discount to the price of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction, whereas other stakeholders consider the application of a discount to be inappropriate under the principles of Topic 820.
For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance.
The Company does not expect the standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

We analyzed the common stock purchase warrants issued as partial settlement of the promissory notes payable on July 15, 2022 (Note 10), against the requirements of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and determined that the warrants should be classified as financial liabilities since the terms allows for a cashless net share settlement at the option of the holder.
ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that the warrants be accounted for as derivative liabilities with initial and subsequent measurement at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as other income (expense).

We determined our derivative liabilities to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and used the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model to calculate the fair value as of initial recognition and subsequent reporting period. The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, expected time to expiration or exercise, the risk-free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Changes to these inputs could produce a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Organization and Overview of Operations
Elevai Labs Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in June 2020. We are a topical skincare company specializing in aesthetic biotechnology. We have created, and continue to research, and commercialize innovative and science-driven topical skincare technologies for the medical aesthetic skincare market. We principally produce, commercialize, distribute, and sell a new generation of cosmetic topical products containing our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai ExosomesTM.
In June 2021, we entered into an agreement with Elevai Research Inc. (formerly Reactive Medical Inc.), a Canadian company under common control, whereby we purchased substantially all of the assets and liabilities Elevai Research Inc.
To bring our products to market, we developed a robust fully-commercialized process from source to skin (exosome secretion to product bottling) that holds and utilizes advanced patent pending knowledge alongside our cohesive production process. Our specialty product lines are topically applied to the skin to aid in the reduction of the appearance of a range of the most common skin conditions, including pre-mature aging, oxidative stress, photodamage, hyperpigmentation, elasticity, and soft tissue deficits, such as fine lines and wrinkles. We primarily sell our products through the physician dispensed channel.

Cost of Revenue
Cost of Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $341,122 as compared to $273,480 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

| Total Cost of Revenue | $ | 341,122 | $ | 273,480 | ||||
The increase in cost of revenue is directly attributed to the increase in sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 2022. The following is a breakdown of the components of cost of revenue:
| Nine Months ended September 30, 2023 | Nine Months ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Cost of inventory | $ | 187,135 | $ | 225,908 | ||||

Gross Profit
The following is a breakdown of gross profit percentage by product category:
| Nine Months ended September 30, 2023 | Nine Months ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Enfinity | 62 | % | 67 | % | ||||
| Empower | 73 | % | 57 | % | ||||
| White label distributor | 61 | % | 49 | % | ||||
| Overall Gross Profit Percentage | 66 | % | 56 | % | ||||
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $672,882 as compared to $353,899 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $318,983. This represents an overall gross margin percentage of 66% during the nine month period ending September 30, 2023, compared to 56% in the nine month period ending September 30, 2022. The overall increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to the increase in the gross margin on the Empower product category, and that the Company sold a higher ratio of Enfinity and Empower products compared to while label distributor sales which, are sold at a lower margin.
24
The increase in the gross margin percentage on Empower from 57% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 73% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily related to the write down, during 2022, of Empower tubes that were the wrong size, as well as an increase sales from our internal sales force compared to distributor sales, which yield a higher gross margin. The decrease in the gross margin percentage on Enfinity from 67% during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to 62% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily related to higher sales commissions as the Company hired more sales reps to drive sales. The increase in the white label distributor gross margin from 49% to 61% is due to the Company achieving a higher sales price from the sale of 5ml units compared to 30ml or 50ml units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, all of the white label distributor sales were 5ml units, compared to the majority being 30ml and 50ml units during the 2022 comparative period.
Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)
R&D expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $303,769 compared to $167,888 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $135,881. R&D related to the Company’s Enfinity, Empower and white label distributor products. The increase in R&D is mainly driven by an increase in lab employees hired towards the end of July 2022. In addition, the Company was in its old lab location during Q1 2022 compared to the new lab location in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 period (the Company has been in its new lab since July 2022). The new lab location has a higher production and R&D capacity which brings an increase in rent and utilities. During both the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s lab staff worked on increasing the efficiency and refining the production process.
Marketing and Promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $316,436 compared to $134,762 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $ 181,674. The Company increased its marketing and promotion efforts to drive sales, which included giving out product samples with a cost of $96,184 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to only $29,437 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Office and Administrative Expenses
Office and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $1,628,931, compared to $639,714 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $989,217. The increase is mainly the result of salaries and wages of $1,000,313 and office rent of $89,600 incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $384,322 and $47,947 in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a combined increase of $657,644. The Company increased its headcount and moved into a larger office location to accommodate the commercialization of its products and growth in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, office and administrative expenses also include share-based compensation of $337,551, compared to $90,271 in nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $247,280. The increase in share-based compensation expense is due to the continued vesting of stock options granted during 2021 and 2022, with additional options issued during 2023. The remaining increase is consistent with the increase in operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $316,468, compared to $248,163 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $68,305.

Professional Fees
Professional fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $450,384, compared to $94,865 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $355,519. Professional fees comprise of legal, audit and accounting services. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily due to an increase in audit, legal and accounting services pursuant to the Company’s goal of filing its preliminary initial registration (S-1 Form) with the SEC and completing an initial public offering (“IPO”).
25
Travel and Entertainment
Travel and entertainment for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $250,000, compared to $148,495 for nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $101,505. Travel and entertainment expenses are related primarily to costs incurred during the attendance of industry trade shows and conferences.

Investor Relations
Investor relations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was $84,820, compared to $32,216 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in investor relations spending is consistent with the Company’s growth strategy.

| Total Cost of Revenue | $ | 188,509 | $ | 194,428 | ||||
The Company achieved an overall decrease in cost of revenue despite the overall increase in sales. This is driven by an increase in the overall gross margin from 55% to 66%, as further explained below. The following is a breakdown of the components of cost of revenue:

Gross Profit
The following is a breakdown of gross profit percentage by product category:
| Three Months ended September 30, 2023 | Three Months ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Enfinity | 63 | % | 69 | % | ||||
| Empower | 72 | % | 69 | % | ||||
| White label distributor | 61 | % | 45 | % | ||||
| Overall Gross Profit Percentage | 66 | % | 55 | % | ||||
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $366,145 as compared to $237,694 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $128,451. This represents an overall gross margin percentage of 66% during the three month period ending September 30, 2023, compared to 55% in the three month period ending September 30, 2022. The overall increase in gross margin percentage is primarily due to the increase in the gross margin on the Empower product category, and that the Company sold a higher ratio of Enfinity and Empower products compared to while label distributor sales which, are sold at a lower margin.
The decrease in the gross margin percentage on Enfinity from 69% during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 63% in the three months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily related to an increase in commission paid to sales representatives. The increase in the gross margin percentage on Empower from 69% during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 72% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily related to the Company achieving a reduction in the weighted average per unit cost of its Empower product. The increase in the white label distributor gross margin from 45% to 61% is due to the Company achieving a higher sales price from the sale of 5ml units compared to 30ml or 50ml units. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, all of the white label distributor sales were 5ml units, compared to only 30ml and 50ml units during the 2022 comparative period.
Research and Development Expenses (“R&D”)
R&D expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $86,374 compared to $89,325 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $2,951. R&D costs related to the Company’s Enfinity, Empower and white label distributor products. The decrease relates to less money spend on consulting firms to assist in R&D for the Company’s products in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Marketing and Promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $99,709 compared to $73,273 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $26,436. The Company increased its marketing and promotion efforts to drive sales, which included giving out product samples with a cost of $31,466 during the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to only $17,030 during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Office and Administrative Expenses
Office and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $664,922, compared to $312,297 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $352,625. The increase is mainly the result of salaries and wages of $392,163 and office rent of $35,462 incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $193,975 and $32,666 in the three months ended September 30, 2022, a combined increase of $200,984 The Company increased its headcount and moved into a larger office location to accommodate the commercialization of its products and growth in operations during the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, office and administrative expenses also include share-based compensation of $158,813, compared to $33,864 in three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $124,949. The increase in share-based compensation expense is due to the continued vesting of stock options granted during 2021 and 2022, with additional options issued during 2023. The remaining increase is consistent with the increase in operations in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
28
Consulting Fees
Consulting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2023, were $82,781, compared to $109,443 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $26,662. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred consulting fees in relation to recruitment, strategic introductions, business advisory, international relations, and strategy. In addition, the Company received services from a number of parties (including companies controlled by related parties and CFO) in a consulting capacity.
Professional Fees
Professional fees for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $143,654, compared to $49,706 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $93,948. Professional fees comprise of legal, audit and accounting services. The increase during the three months ended September 30, 2023, is primarily due to an increase in audit, legal and accounting services pursuant to the Company’s goal of filing its preliminary initial registration (S-1 Form) with the SEC and completing an initial public offering (“IPO”).
Travel and Entertainment
Travel and entertainment for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $65,830, compared to $55,892 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $9,938. Travel and entertainment expenses are related primarily to costs incurred during the attendance of industry trade shows and conferences. The increase in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to 2022 is due to the Company increasing its presence at trade shows and conferences to raise awareness of the Company, its products and to drive business development.
Investor Relations
Investor relations for the three months ended September 30, 2023, was $9,100, compared to $18,430 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease in investor relations spending is attributed to the conclusion of an annual contract with an investor relations firm during the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately the attainment of profitable operations.
As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company had a net working capital deficit of $366,971, and a positive working capital $963,050, respectively, and has an accumulated deficit of $5,865,974 and $2,722,373, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, the Company has a total equity deficit of $163,895. Furthermore, for nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,143,601 and $1,147,611, respectively and used $2,168,661 and $1,079,472 respectively of cash flows for operating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital, capital expenditure, research and development and inventory production. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash on hand, cash flows from operations, and the issuance of common and preferred stock. As of September 30, 2023, we had cash of $476,855, with $1,154,901 as of December 31, 2022.

Cash Used in Investing Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, we used $11,191 and $33,427, respectively, in investing activities primarily related to the purchase of equipment for our lab space to be used on the production of inventory and research and development, as well as the purchase of equipment for use at conferences and trade shows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the condensed interim 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, the collectability of receivables, valuation of inventory, fair value of derivative liabilities and stock options, useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about the carrying value of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined.
30
The Company’s policy for property and equipment requires judgement in determining whether the present value of future expected economic benefits exceeds capitalized costs. The policy requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions about future economic benefits related to its operations. Estimates and assumptions may change if new information becomes available. If information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of capitalized cost is unlikely, the capitalized cost is written off/impaired to the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations.
The assessment of whether the going concern assumption is appropriate requires management to take into account all available information about the future, which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company is aware that material uncertainties related to events or conditions may cast substantial doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since ASU 2014-09 was issued, several additional ASUs have been issued to clarify various elements of the guidance. These standards provide guidance on recognizing revenue, including a five-step model to determine when revenue recognition is appropriate.
The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product to a customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products. In instances where financial acceptance of the product is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met. Revenues are recognized under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its products and services to customers in return for expected consideration.
The Company generates revenue through the sale of skincare products. Revenue from the sale of skincare products are recognized at the point in time when the Company considered revenue realized or realizable and earned, which is typically when all of the five following criteria are met: (1) the contract with the customer is identifiable (i.e. when a sales transaction has been entered into between the Company and the customer), (2) the performance obligation in the contract is identifiable (i.e. the customer has ordered a known quantity of product to be delivered), (3) the transaction price is determinable (i.e. the customer has agreed to the Company’s price for the products ordered), (4) the Company is able to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) the performance obligations have been satisfied, which is typically upon delivery of the product to the customer.
Transaction prices for performance obligations are explicitly outlined in relevant agreements; therefore, the Company does not believe that significant judgements are required with respect to the determination of the transaction price, including any variable consideration identified.
The Company is responsible for providing the products to customers. As a result, the Company is considered the Principal when providing products to customers. As the Company collects payment at the time of the customer order, its contracts do not have a significant financing component. Customers are entitled to replacement or full refund of any damaged or defective product, after the return of the damaged or defective product to the Company. There were no significant returns or refunds during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiary, Elevai Research Inc. (“Elevai Research”) is the Canadian dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets, liabilities, and items recorded in income arising from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.
The accounts of Elevai Research are translated to U.S. dollars using the current rate method. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rate while revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Related exchange gains and losses are included in a separate component of stockholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
31
Inventory
Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s manufacturing process involves the production of our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai ExosomesTM. Finished goods consists of a new generation of cosmetic topical products containing our proprietary stem cell-derived Elevai ExosomesTM. Cost is determined using the weighted average cost formula. Net realizable value is determined on the basis of anticipated sales proceeds less the estimated selling expenses. Management compares the cost of inventories with the net realizable value and an allowance is made to write down inventories to net realizable value, if lower.
Stock-Based Compensation
Employees – The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to employees, including the grant of employee stock options, to be calculated based on its fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date), and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
Nonemployees – During June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”) to simplify the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees by aligning it with the accounting for share-based payments to employees. Under the requirements of ASU 2018-07, the Company accounts for share-based compensation to non-employees under the fair value method which requires all such compensation to be calculated based on the fair value at the measurement date (generally the grant date) and recognized in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the Company recorded $346,550 and $94,099, respectively, in share-based compensation expense, of which $337,551 and $8,999, and $90,271 and $3,828, respectively is included in office and administration and research and development, respectively.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and the related assumptions requires judgment. During nine months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, the fair value of each option grant was estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
The expected volatility represents the historical volatility of comparable publicly traded companies in similar industries, adjusted for variables such as stock price, market capitalization and life cycle. Due to limited historical data, the expected term for options granted is equal to the contractual life. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury instrument whose term is consistent with the expected life of stock options. The Company has not paid and does not anticipate paying cash dividends on its shares of common stock; therefore, the expected dividend yield is assumed to be zero.
Concentrations
Customers
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded 14% of its revenue from its largest customer. The Company’s largest customer relates to sales to a wholesaler during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded 55% of its revenue from a single customer. The Company’s largest customer relates to sales to a wholesaler during the period.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had $49 and $nil receivables due from this customer, respectfully, and $nil and $5,992, respectfully, in customer deposits were received from its largest customer.
The Company expects its dependence on major customers to decrease over time as it enters into additional distributor agreements and builds out its sales team.
32
Suppliers
During the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company had 3 key suppliers that represented approximately 66% and 72%, respectively of the cost incurred in the purchase and production of inventory. The table below represents a breakdown of each supplier as a percentage of the cost incurred (Suppliers are shown from largest to smallest and does not necessarily represent the same suppliers period over period):
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 | |||||||
| Supplier 1 | 26 | % | 46 | % | ||||
| Supplier 2 | 23 | % | 14 | % | ||||
| Supplier 3 | 17 | % | 12 | % | ||||
| Total | 66 | % | 72 | % | ||||
The Company continually evaluates the performance of its suppliers and the availability of alternatives to substitute or supplement its inventory production supply chain. The Company believes that a breakdown in supply from one of its key suppliers would be overcome in a short amount of time given the availability of alternatives.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources that is material to investors.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, eases certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We will qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act will be allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.
Related Party Transactions
Parties are related to the Company if the parties, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management, and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to the extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its separate interests. The Company discloses all related party transactions.”
Impact of Inflation
We do not believe the impact of inflation on our Company is material.
Inflation Risk
We are exposed to inflation risk. Inflationary factors, such as increases in labor costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposure is generally limited to those risks that arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative, non-operating transactions, nor do we utilize financial instruments or derivative instruments for trading purposes.
