Overview
COVID-19
The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business,
operations and financial results will depend on numerous evolving factors that
we may not be able to accurately predict at the present time. In an effort to
contain COVID-19 or slow its spread, governments around the world have enacted
various measures, including orders to close all businesses not deemed
"essential," isolate residents to their homes or places of residence, and
practice social distancing when engaging in essential activities. We anticipate
that these actions and the global health crisis caused by COVID-19 will
negatively impact business activity across the globe. While we have not observed
any noticeable impact on our revenue related to these conditions in the past
fiscal year, or through the date of this filing, we cannot estimate the impact
COVID-19 will have in the future as business and consumer activity decelerates
across the globe.
We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions
that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state, local
or foreign authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our
employees, customers, partners and stockholders. It is not clear what the
potential effects any such alterations or modifications may have on our
business, including the effects on our customers, partners, or vendors, or on
our financial results.
Recent Developments
On October 17, 2019, we entered an Exclusive License Agreement with Quoin
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Quoin") pursuant to which we
granted to Quoin a license to certain patents for the development of products
for commercial sale. In exchange for the license, Quoin agreed to pay to us a
license fee of $1,000,000 (the "License Fee") and a single digit royalty
interest of all net sales on the licensed products subject to adjustment in
certain situations. The agreement also requires that Quoin make certain
milestone payments to us upon achieving regulatory approval milestones for
certain drug products.
The agreement was subject to termination, if among other things, 50% of the
license fee is not paid by December 31, 2019 and if the full License Fee is not
paid by March 31, 2020. No payments were made by Quoin and the agreement was
terminated. Both Parties subsequently determined that they continue to see the
value in a partnership and therefore on May 8, 2020 and again on July 31, 2020
the companies agreed to extend the Exclusive License Agreement under the same
terms to expire on September 30, 2020, and on January 27, 2021 the companies
agreed to revise the milestone payments due under the agreement and to extend
the agreement indefinitely.

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to change the terms of
the license Fee as shown below.
As partial consideration for the rights conveyed by Skinvisible under this
Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay to Skinvisible a one-time, non-refundable,
non-creditable license issue fee of one million USD dollars (USO $1,000,000)
(''License Fee''). To date, Licensee has paid three hundred ninety-two thousand
five hundred US dollars (USD $392,500) of this fee as part of the First Half
Payment of the License Fee. The balance due of the First Half Payment is one
hundred seven thousand five hundred US dollars (USD $107,500) which was received
on July 7. A further payment of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
($250,000) is due no later than ten (10) business days after receipt by Licensee
of additional funding from Altium Capital which coincides with the approval from
the SEC on Quoin's merger with a NASDAQ listed company, which closed in October.
The remaining balance of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) will
be paid on December 31, 2021.
Additionally, the milestones in the initial agreement were changed as shown
below:
(i) Successful completion of Phase 2 testing: $0
(ii) Successful completion of Phase 3 testing: $0
(iii) Regulatory approval in either 1· the US or EU, whichever happens first:
$5,000,000
Results of Operations for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 and
2020
Revenues
Our revenue, which we combine from product sales, royalties on patent licenses
and license fees (product development fees), was $111,421 for the three months
ended September 30, 2021, an increase from $6,816 for the same period ended
September 30, 2020. Our revenue was $410,571 for the nine months ended September
30, 2021, an increase from $142,838 for the same period ended September 30,
2020.
The revenue for both periods in 2021 was mainly from license fees with Quoin and
the revenue for both periods in 2020 was mainly from license fees with Ovation.
We hope to generate more revenues from our licenses with Quoin and Ovation for
the rest of the year.
Gross Profit
We had $3,300 in cost of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2021,
no cost of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2021, and no cost
of revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, so our gross
profit was $111,421 and $407,271 for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2021, respectively, as compared with gross profit of $6,816 and $142,838 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.
We had some product sales resulting in a reduced gross profit for 2021 as
compared with 2020. Our gross profit increased in 2021 due to more revenues from
our licenses with Quoin and Ovation expected for the rest of the year, which do
not have a cost of revenue component.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased to $119,274 for the three months ended September
30, 2021 from $125,438 for the same period ended September 30, 2020. Operating
expenses decreased to $366,731 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from
$404,214 for the same period ended September 30, 2020.
Our operating expenses for all periods consisted mainly of selling, general and
administrative expenses.

Table of Contents
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021 consisted mainly of accrued salaries and wages of $243,826,
audit and accounting of $43,102. In comparison, our selling general and
administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted
mainly of accrued salaries and wages of $263,827 and audit and accounting of
$55,089.
Other Expenses
We had other expenses of $195,499 for the three months ended September 30, 2021,
as compared with other expenses of $291,137 for the three months ended September
30, 2020. We had other expenses of $947,911 for the nine months ended September
30, 2021, as compared with other expenses of $891,260 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020.
Our other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021 consisted
mainly of interest expense and a loss on the changes in derivative liability,
offset by a gain on the settlement of debt. Our other expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2021 consisted mainly of interest expense and a loss
on the changes in derivative liability, offset by a gain on the settlement of
debt. Our other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted
mainly of a loss on the settlement of debt and interest expense.
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $203,352 for the three months ended September 30,
2021, as compared with a net loss of $409,759 for the three months ended
September 30, 2020. We recorded a net loss of $907,371 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, as compared with a net loss of $1,152,636 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2021, we had total current assets of $58,021 and total
assets in the amount of $215,771. Our total current liabilities as of September
30, 2021 were $3,108,168. We had a working capital deficit of $3,050,147 as of
September 30, 2021, compared with a working capital deficit of $2,668,871 as of
December 31, 2020.
Operating activities provided $220,791 in cash for the nine months ended
September 30, 2021, as compared with $15,588 provided for the nine months ended
September 30, 2020. Our positive operating cash flow for each period was largely
the result of the amortization of debt discount and changes in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities and accrued interest.
We used cash of $20,864 and $16,767 in investing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for the purchase of fixed and
intangible assets.
Cash flows used by financing activities during the nine months ended September
30, 2021 amounted to $186,600, as compared with cash provided of $11,700 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our negative financing cash flow for the
nine months ended September 30, 2021 resulted from the repayments of debt. Our
positive financing cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2020
consisted of proceeds from related party loans, offset by repayments on the
same.
The features of the debt instruments and payables concerning our financing
activities are detailed in the footnotes to our financial statements.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to
operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend
to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing
arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash
requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering
to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be
successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure
additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired.
There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us
on acceptable terms or at all.

Going concern - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred
cumulative net losses of $35,607,779 since our inception and require capital for
our contemplated operational and marketing activities to take place. Our ability
to raise additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is
unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of
our contemplated plan of operations, and our transition, ultimately, to the
attainment of profitable operations are necessary for us to continue operations.
The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of
these aforementioned uncertainties.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2021, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based upon the accompanying financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and are expressed in United States dollars. Preparing
financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These
estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting
policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates
and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements
is critical to an understanding of our financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments
and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"), as part of its overall
simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting
standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information
provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance
removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the
convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the
conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a
derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after
adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded
conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt
wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the "if-converted" method
when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share,
which is consistent with the Company's current accounting treatment under the
current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim
periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but
only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating
the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company's financial
statements.
