NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Maryzime, Inc. (the "Company" or "Marizyme") is a Nevada corporation originally incorporated on March 20, 2007, under the name SWAV Enterprises, Ltd. On September 6, 2010, the Company name was changed to GBS Enterprises Inc. and from 2010 to September 2018 the Company was in the software products and advisory services business for email and instant messaging applications. The Company divested that business between December 2016 and September 2018 and focused on the acquisition of life science technologies.

On March 21, 2018, the Company's name was changed to Marizyme, Inc., to reflect the new life sciences focus. Marizyme's common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets' QB tier under the symbol "MRZM".

NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN

The Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have an established source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company, since its inception, has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and has an accumulated deficit of $53,948,448at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021 - $47,823,563). Additionally, the Company has working capital of $2,031,884(December 31, 2021 - $1,268,097) and $3,172,967(December 31, 2021 - $4,072,339) of cash on hand, which may not be sufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing its business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention or necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to the laws and regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to continue to successfully develop its intangible assets, receive an approval from the U.S. Federal and Drug Administration (the "FDA") to extend the selling of the products into the U.S. market which will allow the Company to attain profitable operations.

During the next twelve months, the Company's foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continuous operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and the payment of expenses associated with its product development. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of private or public offerings. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to continue to develop and expand its products and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company's ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of public or private offerings.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries: My Health Logic Inc. ("My Health Logic" or "MHL"), Somahlution, Inc. ("Somahlution"), Somaceutica, Inc. ("Somaceutica"), (collectively - "Somah"), and Marizyme Sciences, Inc. ("Marizyme Sciences"). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 (the "2021 Form 10-K"). The balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2021 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to those consolidated financial statements.

Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

7

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are related to the allocation of the purchase price in a business combination to the underlying assets and liabilities, recoverability of long-term assets including intangible assets and goodwill, amortization expense, valuation of warrants, stock-based compensation, derivative liabilities, contingent liabilities and deferred tax valuations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses the fair value hierarchy to measure the value of its financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity's pricing based upon its own market assumptions. The basis for fair value measurements for each level within the hierarchy is described below:

● Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 - Quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other model-derived valuations whose inputs are directly or indirectly observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
● Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable and for which assumptions are used based on management estimates.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

The carrying amounts of certain accounts and other receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, notes payable, and amounts due to related parties approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of lease obligations is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of the cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

The contingent liabilities assumed on the acquisition of Somah in 2020 consist of present values of royalty payments, performance warrants and pediatric voucher warrants, future rare pediatric voucher sales, and liquidation preference. Management measured these contingencies in accordance with Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

i. The performance warrants and pediatric vouchers warrants liabilities were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model utilizing the following weighted average assumptions: risk free rate of 1.19%, expected volatility of 69.62%, expected dividend of $0, and expected life of 6.21years. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, changes in these assumptions resulted in a $806,000increase in fair value of these liabilities. At March 31, 2022 the fair market value of performance warrants and pediatric vouchers warrants liabilities was $5,158,000.
ii. The present value of royalty payments was measured using the scenario-based methodology. In assessing the value attributed to the royalty payments, the estimated future cash flows were discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the revenue from net sales of the product. The cash flows derived from the Company's fifteen-year strategic plan are based on managements' expectations of market growth, industry reports and trends, and past performances. These projections are inherently uncertain due to the evolving impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The discounted cash flow model included projections surrounding revenue, discount rates, and growth rates. The discount rates used to calculate the present value of royalty payments reflect specific risks of the Company and market conditions and the mid-range was estimated at 20.6%. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, changes in these assumptions resulted in a $1,065,000increase in fair value of these liabilities. At March 31, 2022 the fair market value of royalty payments was $5,053,000.
iii. Rare pediatric voucher sales liability was valued based on the scenario-based methodology where the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset - 20.6%. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, changes in these assumptions resulted in a $41,000decrease in fair value of this liability. At March 31, 2022 the fair market value of rare pediatric vouchers was $1,109,000.
iv. The present value of liquidation preference liability, included in the contingent consideration, was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing method and represents the fair value of the maximum payment amount according to the agreement. The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model: risk free rate of 0.21%, expected volatility of78.93%, expected dividend of $0, and expected life of 5years. No changes to the fair value of liquidation preference liability were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022 the fair market value of liquidation preference was $1,823,000.

The derivative liabilities consist of optional and automatic conversion features and the share redemption feature attached to the convertible notes, issued pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement (Note 7).

The Company has no financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. None of the Company's non-financial assets or liabilities are recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. No transfers between levels have occurred during the periods presented.

Marizyme measures the following financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. As at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:

Fair Value Hierarchy
March 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Liabilities
Derivative liabilities $ - $ - $ 3,821,564
Contingent liabilities - - 13,143,000

Contingent liabilities - - 11,313,000
Total $ - $ - $ 13,798,346

The following table provides a rollforward of all liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs:

Derivative and Contingent Liabilities
Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 13,798,346
Change in fair value of contingent liabilities 1,830,000
Derivative liabilities issued pursuant to Unit Purchase Agreement 1,336,218
Balance at March 31, 2022 $ 16,964,564

The Company did not have any derivative or contingent liabilities in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Research and Development Expenses and Accruals

All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred and consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, and employee benefits, for those individuals involved in research and development efforts, external research and development costs incurred under agreements with contract research organizations and consultants to conduct and support the Company's ongoing clinical trials of Duragraft, and costs related to manufacturing Duragraft for clinical trials. The Company has entered into various research and development contracts with various organizations and other companies. Payments of these activities are based on the terms of the individual agreements which matches to the pattern of costs incurred. Payments made in advance are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as prepaid expenses. The Company records accruals for estimated costs incurred for ongoing research and development activities. When evaluating the adequacy of the accrued liabilities, the Company analyzes progress of the services, including the phase or completion of events, invoices received and contracted costs. Significant judgments and estimates may be required in determining the prepaid or accrued balances at the end of any reporting period. Actual results could differ from the Company's estimates.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for employees and directors is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations based on estimated amounts, including the grant date fair value and the expected service period. For stock options, we estimate the grant date fair value using a Black-Scholes valuation model, which requires the use of multiple subjective inputs including estimated future volatility, expected forfeitures and the expected term of the awards. We estimate the expected future volatility based on the stock's historical price volatility. The stock's future volatility may differ from the estimated volatility at the grant date. For restricted stock unit ("RSU") equity awards, we estimate the grant date fair value using our closing stock price on the date of grant. We recognize the effect of forfeitures in compensation expense when the forfeitures occur. The estimated forfeiture rates may differ from actual forfeiture rates which would affect the amount of expense recognized during the period. We recognize the value of the awards over the awards' requisite service or performance periods. The requisite service period is generally the time over which our share-based awards vest.

Comparative Information

To conform with the current period's financial statement presentation, the Company reclassified certain professional fees, salaries, and rent expenses related to research and development activities for the period ended March 31, 2021 into research and development expenses line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such reclassifications were not considered material and did not have any effect on the Company's net loss for the period ended March 31, 2021.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION

My Health Logic Inc.

On November 1, 2021, Marizyme entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Health Logic Interactive Inc. ("HLII") pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of My Health Logic, a wholly owned subsidiary of HLII, in exchange for common shares of Marizyme (the "Marizyme Shares").

Marizyme is dedicated to the acceleration, development and commercialization of medical technologies that promote patient health, therefore a strategic decision was made to acquire My Health Logic, which have provided Marizyme with access to MHL's lab-on-chip technology platform and its patient-centric, digital point-of-care diagnostic device, MATLOC 1; and allowed for further growth and development of Marizyme's portfolio of medical products.

On December 22, 2021, Marizyme received the necessary regulatory, court and stock exchange approval to complete the acquisition of MHL resulting in a total of 4,600,000Common Shares issued to HLII; 230,000of these shares are being held and administered by Marizyme to be released to HLII, less any amounts claimed by Marizyme or its affiliates for any losses arising out of certain breaches as set out in the acquisition agreement. This resulted in HLII holding approximately 11.35% of the total number of issued and outstanding Marizyme Shares (based on 40,528,188Marizyme Shares issued and outstanding immediately after closing).

In accordance with ASC 805-10 the substance of a transaction constitutes a business combination as the business of My Health Logic Inc. meets the definition of a business under the standard. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, and the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed have been recorded at their respective estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price was based on management's estimate of fair value of the common shares issued.

According to ASC 805 the acquirer has a year from the date of acquisition to recognize measurement period adjustments. While Marizyme does not expect the carrying amount and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired, provided below, to change, the estimates surrounding the useful life of intangible assets acquired may differ from the initial values determined. As at March 31, 2022, those estimates remain preliminary. The change in useful life of the intangible assets will not have a material impact on the net loss for the periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Additionally, the Company is in the process of finalizing the tax basis related to these intangible assets which is not final as of March 31, 2022.

Details of the carrying amount and the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired and purchase consideration paid were as follows:

Consideration given up
Common shares $ 7,774,000
Total consideration given up $ 7,774,000
Fair value of identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed
Net working deficit $ (613,156 )
Property, plant, and equipment 12,500
Intangible assets 6,600,000
Goodwill 1,774,656

NOTE 7- CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES AND WARRANTS

May 2021 Unit Purchase Agreement

On May 27, 2021, Marizyme entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement to sell up to 4,000,000units (the 'Units') at a price per Unit of $2.50. Each Unit is comprised of (i) a convertible promissory note convertible into common stock of the Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of common stock of the Company (the 'Class A Warrant'); and (iii) a second warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Class B Warrant").

In May 2021, the Company issued and sold 29,978Units at a price of $2.50per Unit for gross proceeds of $74,945, consisting of Notes of $74,945, Class A Warrants for the purchase of 29,978shares of common stock and Class B Warrants for the purchase of 29,978shares of common stock. The Company incurred related issuance costs of $6,745which will be amortized over the term of the Notes.

In July 2021, the Company issued and sold 440,000Units under the Unit Purchase Program for gross proceeds of $1,100,000. The Units included Notes for $1,100,000, Class A Warrants for 440,000shares of common stock and Class B Warrants for 440,000shares of common stock.

November 2021 Amended Unit Purchase Agreement

On November 29, 2021, due to a lower common stock price, the Company, with the consent of all Unit holders, amended the May 2021 Unit Agreements. By rescinding their investment, the Unit holders agreed to amend the Unit Purchase Agreement, which resulted in the following significant changes to the offering:

(i) Decreased the offering price under the Unit Purchase Agreement from $2.50per Unit to $2.25per Unit for all future sales under the Unit Purchase Agreement. No proceeds from the initial investment were returned.
(ii) Decreased the conversion price from $2.50per share to $2.25per share for all current Unit holders and all future investors.
(iii) Cancelled all Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants and replaced them with Class C Warrants.

On December 2, 2021, the Company issued and sold to new investors 98,889additional units for gross proceeds of $222,500. These units consisted of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $222,500and Class C Warrants for the purchase of 197,778shares of common stock.

December 2021 Unit Purchase Agreement

On December 21, 2021, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the "December UPA") to sell up to 9,714,286Units at a price per unit of $1.75. Each Unit is comprised of (i) a convertible promissory note convertible into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion price of $1.75 and, (ii) a warrant to purchase two shares of Common Stock at an initial purchase price of $2.25 per share (the new Class C Warrant).Under this December UPA, the Company issued and sold 3,438,572Units at a per unit purchase price of $1.75, for gross proceeds of $6,000,000. Coinciding with this December UPA, the Company also entered into an Exchange Agreement with the existing Unit holders (the December 2021 Exchange Agreements, as further described below).

December 2021 Exchange Agreements

On December 21, 2021, in conjunction with a $6.0million investment, the Company and the existing Unit holders agreed to exchange the original securities ("Old Securities") held by the current investors/unit holders for New Securities, consisting of (i) a New Note in the principal amount equal to the original principal amount of the Original Note, plus all accrued interest through the day prior to December 21, 2021, and (ii) a New Warrant (new Class C Warrants) in exchange for the original Class C Warrants. The Exchange of the Original Securities for the New Securities included the following significant changes:

(i) Decreased the offering price under the Unit Purchase Agreement from $2.25per Unit to $1.75per Unit. Outstanding principal and accrued interest were used to purchase Units at the new per unit price.
(ii) Extended the maturity date of the notes to December 21, 2023for all existing notes.
(iii) Decreased the conversion price from $2.25per share to $1.75per share for the New Units.
(iv) Original Class C Warrants were exchanged for New Class C warrants with an exercise price of $2.25per share (unchanged) and a five-year life measured from the date of the Exchange Agreement. The decrease in the Unit price also resulted in additional number of New Class C Warrants being issued in exchange for the Original Class C Warrants due to the 200% warrant coverage provided for in the Unit Purchase Agreement.

The Company determined that the terms of the New Securities were substantially different from the Original Securities, and, as such the exchange of the Original Securities for the New Securities was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt on December 21, 2021, and the New Securities accounted for as a new debt issuance.

As a result of this substantial modification, the total of 621,087Units previously issued were replaced with an aggregate of 832,022pro-rata Units.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued additional 2,290,659units under the New Securities agreement for the gross proceeds of $4,008,653. Of the total 2,290,659Units issued: (i) 159,245Units were issued to settle notes payable assumed on acquisition of My Health Logic (Note 4), (ii) 22,857Units were issued to settle accounts payable, and 171,428Units were issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

13

The Company determined that the optional and automatic conversion feature and the share redemption feature attached to the convertible notes meet the definition of derivative liabilities and that the detachable warrants issued do not meet the definition of a liability and therefore will be accounted for as an equity instrument.

The fair value of the warrants issued in the three months ended March 31, 2022, of $2,401,237(December 31, 2021 - $4,299,649) and the fair value of derivative liabilities of $1,336,218issued (December 31, 2021 - $2,485,346) have been recorded as debt discount and are being amortized to interest and accretion expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Notes.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized interest and accretion expense of $291,997(March 31, 2021 - $Nil) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Convertible Notes Terms

The Convertible Notes mature in 24 months from the initial closing date and accrue 10% of simple interest per annum on the outstanding principal amount.The Convertible Notes principal and accrued interest can be converted at any time at the option of the holder at a conversion price of $1.75 per share (previously $2.25 per the September 2021 Amendment and originally $2.50 per the May Unit Purchase Agreement).

The Convertible Notes issued or reissued in exchanged for the cancellation of previously-issued Convertible Notes from May 2021 until March 24, 2022 provide that in the event the Company consummates a qualified financing of at least $10million of equity or equity equivalents, and provided that the Company is listed on a trading market that is a senior exchange such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange and the shares into which the Convertible Notes may be converted may be issued or resold under an effective registration statement, then all outstanding principal, together with all unpaid accrued interest, under the convertible notes, would automatically convert into shares of the equity financing at the lesser of (i) 75%of the cash price per share paid in the financing and the otherwise applicable conversion price. In addition, if at any time following the sixty (60) day anniversary of the final closing date or termination of this private placement, and if there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock into which the convertible notes may be converted, (A) the Company's common stock is listed on a senior national securities exchange, (B) the daily volume-weighted average price for the prior twenty (20) consecutive trading days is $6.00or more (adjusted for splits and similar distributions) and (C) the daily trading volume is at least $1,000,000during such twenty (20)-day period, then the Company would have the right to require the convertible notes to convert all or any portion of the principal and accrued interest then remaining under the note into shares of common stock at the above conversion price in effect on the mandatory conversion date.

In addition, the Convertible Notes provide that more favorable terms under subsequent equity issuances will become part of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes also include certain customary antidilution provisions and registration rights under a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors.

The Convertible Notes in our March 24, 2022 and subsequent closings were also modified to provide that upon the occurrence of certain qualified financings of $10million or more as described above, such Convertible Notes would be voluntarily, not automatically, convertible at the lower of 75%of the price per equity security in such financing and the otherwise applicable conversion price. The conversion provision was also modified to remove the requirement that an effective registration statement allow for the issuance or resale of shares of common stock into which the convertible notes may be converted in order for the conversion price of the Convertible Notes to be subject to the reduction to 75% of the price per equity security in a qualified financing.

The Convertible Notes are secured by a first priority security interest in all assets of the Company. They also have certain registration requirements for the shares of common stock underlying the Convertible Notes upon the final closing under the unit purchase agreement between the Company and the investors in this private placement.

New Class C Warrants Terms

● Exercise price is the lower of (i) $2.25per share, or (ii) the Automatic Conversion Price (the lesser of (i) 75% of the cash price per share paid by the other purchasers of next round securities in a Qualified Financing and (ii) the Conversion Price ($2.25, subject to Customary Antidilution Adjustments).

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

On August 19, 2021, Dr. Neil Campbell, former President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, and Bruce Harmon, former Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, each filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial against the Company and Insperity Peo Services, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Insperity"), a joint employer of Dr. Campbell and Mr. Harmon with the Company under a Client Service Agreement, dated November 30, 2020 (collectively, the "Campbell/Harmon Complaints"). Both Campbell/Harmon Complaints allege that the Company and Insperity violated Section 448.105 of the Florida Private Whistleblower Act as a result of the constructive terminations of Dr. Campbell and Mr. Harmon after the occurrence of violations federal and state law, including federal securities law, at the Company that exposed Dr. Campbell and Mr. Harmon to civil and criminal forms of liability and that the Company was not addressing to their satisfaction. Both Campbell/Harmon Complaints demand approximately $30,000- $50,000in back pay and benefits, interest on back pay, front pay and/or lost earning capacity, compensatory damages, costs and attorney's fees, and such other relief as the court deems equitable. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. As of March 31, 2022, these cases were in arbitration. Subsequently to the quarter end, in April 2022, both cases were dismissed with prejudice and without any financial impact on the Company.

On January 28, 2022, we filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the "Florida Circuit Court"), case number 50-2022-CA-000859-XXX-MB, against Amy Chandler (the "Chandler Complaint"). The Chandler Complaint seeks damages for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, negligence, conversion, and civil theft. The Chandler Complaint alleged that, approximately two months before her resignation in September 2021, Ms. Chandler intentionally and recklessly took affirmative actions to cancel the CE certificate required by European Union regulations in order for Marizyme and its subsidiary, Somahlution, LLC, to ship and distribute certain products to/within the European Union, and disregarded her fiduciary duty to Marizyme and responsibilities as its former Executive Vice President for Regulatory Affairs and Quality Management Systems. As a result, the Chandler Complaint alleged that Ms. Chandler's actions caused significant disruption and damage to Marizyme's business, including, but not limited to, financial damages and damage to Marizyme's reputation and business relationships. The Chandler Complaint further alleged that prior to her last day, Ms. Chandler stole confidential, proprietary files governing Marizyme's quality management system, which were required for essential internal business operations, and that Marizyme incurred significant costs to recreate these files. The Chandler Complaint alleged damages in excess of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00), exclusive of interest, attorneys' fees, and costs.

On February 28, 2022, Ms. Chandler filed a Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim to Plaintiff's Complaint with the Florida Circuit Court (the "Chandler Countercomplaint"). The Chandler Countercomplaint denied the claims in the Chandler Complaint and most of the factual allegations regarding her alleged actions. The Chandler Countercomplaint also included a counterclaim of defamation per se against the Company based on certain statements regarding this litigation that were included in the Registration Statement. As to the claims in the Chandler Complaint, the Chandler Countercomplaint demanded an award of attorneys' fees and costs, court costs on all counts, and such further relief the court deems just and proper. As to the counterclaim of defamation, the Chandler Countercomplaint requested monetary damages, punitive damages, court costs, and any other relief the court deems just and proper. The Chandler Countercomplaint also demanded trial by jury on all triable issues.

On March 18, 2022, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Counterclaim with the Florida Circuit Court (the "Motion to Dismiss"). The Motion to Dismiss stated that the Chandler Countercomplaint for defamation per se should be dismissed with prejudice because the Company has not made any statements about Chandler outside the allegations in the Chandler Complaint. The Motion to Dismiss stated that the statements regarding this litigation that were included in the Registration Statement were as a matter of law not false because they all accurately reproduced the allegations in the Chandler Complaint and such statements were prefaced by the words "The Chandler Complaint alleged". The Motion to Dismiss further stated that allegations in the litigation are subject to Florida's litigation privilege and cannot serve as a basis for a defamation claim as a matter of law. As of [*], 2022, this case was pending.

Contingencies

a. On July 13, 2019, the Company signed a consulting agreement, whereby the individual will receive:
● $30,000per month through July 13, 2022,
● Option to purchase 250,000shares of common stock at a strike price of $1.50, which vest monthly through July 13, 2021. The vesting of these options was accelerated by the Board on September 2, 2020.
● Royalties based on sales of Krillase assets, equal to 10% of net sales of the product. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, no revenues were derived from sales of Krillase product.
b. As part of the DuraGraft Acquisition, completed on July 31, 2020, the Company entered into the Agreement with Somah stockholders, whereby Marizyme is legally obligated to pay royalties on all net sales for Somahlution, Inc. The royalties associated with the Agreement are calculated as follows:

Royalties on U.S. sales equal to:

● 5% on the first $50,000,000 of net sales,
● 4% on net sales of $50,000,001 up to $200,000,000, and
● 2% on net sales over $200,000,000.

Royalties on sales outside of the U.S.:

● 6% on the first $50,000,000 of net sales,
● 4% on net sales of $50,000,001 up to $200,000,000, and
● 2% on net sales over $200,000,000.

The royalties are in perpetuity. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had not earned any revenues from Krillase and did not have any sales of the DuraGraft products in U.S., therefore no royalties have been accrued or paid in the period.

Upon receiving FDA approval for the Duragraft product, the Company will:

● Issue performance warrants with a strike price determined based on the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock for the 30 calendar days following the date of the public announcement of the FDA approval; and
● Upon liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets relating to DuraGraft, the Company will pay 15% of the net sale proceeds up to $20million.
16
c. The Company has entered into arrangements for office and laboratories spaces. As at March 31, 2022, minimum lease payments in relation to lease commitments are payable as described in Note 5.

Risks and Uncertainties

Starting in late 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, began to rapidly spread around the world and every state in the United States. At this time, there continues to be significant volatility and uncertainty relating to the full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and the various responses to it will impact our business, operations and financial results.

Most states and cities have at various times instituted quarantines, restrictions on travel, "stay at home" rules, social distancing measures and restrictions on the types of businesses that could continue to operate, as well as guidance in response to the pandemic and the need to contain it. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic may affect the operations of the FDA and other health authorities, including such authorities in Europe, which could result in delays of reviews and approvals. While there have been no specific notices of delay from federal or foreign government authorities, potential interruptions, delays, or changes to the operations of the FDA, or of any foreign authority with which we might interact, might impact the approval of any applications we plan and will need to file in the future.

In addition, we are dependent upon certain contract manufacturers and suppliers and their ability to reliably and efficiently fulfill our orders is critical to our business success. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted and may continue to impact certain of our manufacturers and suppliers. As a result, we have faced and may continue to face delays or difficulty sourcing certain products, which could negatively affect our business and financial results.

The spread of COVID-19 has also adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The pandemic has resulted, and may continue to result, in a significant disruption of global financial markets, which may reduce our ability to access capital in the future, which could negatively affect our liquidity.

If the COVID-19 pandemic does not continue to slow and the spread of COVID-19 is not contained, our business operations, including those of contract manufacturers, could be further delayed or interrupted. The duration of any business disruption cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs. It is not possible to reliably measure or quantify the impact COVID-19 has had on the financial results of the Company. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues for an extended period, it may materially adversely impact business operations and, consequently, future financial results.

NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

OVERVIEW

Marizyme is a multi-technology life science company dedicated to the acceleration, development and commercialization of medical technologies that promote patient health and present potential for rapid revenue growth.

Key elements of our strategy include:

● Advancing development of three medical technology platforms - DuraGraft, MATLOC and Krillase - each of which is clinically tested and backed by a portfolio of patented or patent-pending assets;
● Advancing DuraGraft, our endothelial damage inhibitor, or "EDI", and MATLOC 1, our "CKD" screening and diagnostic device, for the Food and Drug Administration De Novo classification process and 510(k) application, respectively. We filed a pre-submission letter for DuraGraft with the FDA in November 2021 and we expect to submit the De Novo request for DuraGraft to the FDA in 2022;
● Progressing the development of Krillase by planning an animal clinical study which will be conducted in 2022, and which we expect will facilitate our entry into the pet health market and generate revenue through the sale of Krillase-based canine dental hygiene products.

We have incurred losses for each period from inception. Our net loss was approximately $6.1 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses over the next several years. Accordingly, we will need additional financing to support our continuing operations. We will seek to fund our operations through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, collaborations and licensing arrangements. Adequate additional financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed would impact our ability to continue as a going concern, and would have a negative impact on our financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategy. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, and we may never do so.

KEY Q1 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

Financing

In 2021, the Company offered up to 4,000,000 units (the "Units Offering"), comprised of convertible notes and warrants, with the intent to raise up to $10,000,000 on a rolling basis. Certain terms and conditions of the Units Offering were amended and as a result, during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,260,594 units for net proceeds of $6,692,765.

During Q1 2022, the Company issued additional 2,290,659 units for gross proceeds of $4,008,653. The proceeds from the Units Offering were used to settle certain debt obligations and will be used to sustain the Company's growth and meet its capital obligations.

In 2021 the Company entered into an agreement with an investor for an investment of $6,000,000. Pursuant to the agreement, the investor agreed to up to two additional closings in which it would invest (i) $2,000,000 upon the Company's filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC (filed on February 14, 2022 and $2,000,000 were received as part of the proceeds from the Units Offering in Q1 2022), and (ii) an additional $2,000,000 upon the Company's responding in a satisfactory manner to the first round of SEC comments relating to the filed Form S-1 (no comments were received from SEC on the filed S-1 form). As of date of this 10-Q Form the second closing for $2,000,000 is in process of completion.

Operational

In 2021 Marizyme underwent a corporate restructuring, whereby the key officers, directors, and management team changed in order to accelerate the Company's progress toward meeting its key objectives and deliver on its strategy and to be in a better position to address certain material weaknesses in its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In Q1 2022, the executive and management team continued this process while also focusing on meeting and delivering on the Company's objectives to commercialize its key products and advance in its search for more life science assets. However, as discussed in Part II-Other Information, Item 4. "Controls and Procedures", no further significant steps were taken to remediate the material deficiency in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

FINANCIAL OPERATIONS REVIEW

Component of Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue represents gross product sales less service fees and product returns. For our Distribution Partner channel, we recognize revenue for product sales at the time of delivery of the product to our Distribution Partner. As our products have an expiration date, if a product expires, we will replace the product at no charge. Currently, all of our revenue is generated from the sale of DuraGraft in European and Asian markets where the product has the required regulatory approvals.

Research and Development

All research and development costs are expensed in the period incurred and consist primarily of salaries, payroll taxes, and employee benefits, those individuals involved in research and development efforts, external research and development costs incurred under agreements with contract research organizations and consultants to conduct and support the Company's ongoing clinical trials of Duragraft, and costs related to manufacturing Duragraft for clinical trials. The Company has entered into various research and development contracts with various organizations and other companies.

Professional Fees

Professional fees include legal fees relating to intellectual property development, due diligence and corporate matters, and consulting fees for accounting, finance, and valuation services. We anticipate increased expenses related to audit, legal, regulatory, and tax-related services associated with our application to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and related ongoing stock exchange and SEC requirements.

Salaries and Stock-Based Compensation

Salaries consists of compensation and related personnel costs. Stock-based compensation represents the fair value of equity-settled share awards on stock options granted by the Company to its employees, officers, directors, and consultants. The fair value of awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which considers the following factors: exercise price, current market price of the underlying shares, expected life, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, dividend yield, and forfeiture rate.

Other General and Administrative Expenses

Other general and administrative expenses consist principally of marketing and selling expenses, facility costs, administrative and office expenses, director and officer insurance premiums, and investor relations costs associated with operating a public company.

Other Expenses

Other expenses consist of mark to market adjustments on contingent liabilities assumed on the acquisition of the Somahlution assets and interest and accretion expenses related to our convertible notes issued in an ongoing private placement since May 2021 pursuant to our Unit Purchase Agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Three Months Ended
March 31,
2022 2021 Change
Revenue $ - $ 73,952 $ (73,952 )
Operating expenses:
Professional fees 544,040 529,073 14,967
Salary expenses 915,640 884,041 31,599
Research and development 1,218,296 391,504 826,792
Stock-based compensation 716,432 367,718 348,714
Depreciation and amortization 210,361 416,595 (206,234 )
Other general and administrative expenses 390,572 295,572 95,000
Total operating expenses 3,995,341 2,884,503 1,110,838
Total operating loss $ (3,995,341 ) $ (2,810,551 ) $ (1,184,790 )
Other expenses:
Interest and accretion expenses (299,544 ) - (299,544 )
Change in fair value of contingent liabilities (1,830,000 ) - (1,830,000 )
Net loss $ (6,124,885 ) $ (2,810,551 ) $ (3,314,334 )

Revenue

We recognized no revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $0.07 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. No revenues were generated in Q1 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic's ongoing impact on the Company's supply chain and its lapsed ability to produce and market Duragraft inventory. In Q1 2022, the executive and management teams have been working on re-establishing the Company's business relationships with its trusted manufacturing and distribution partners and expect the production of Duragraft inventory and sales to resume in Q2 2022.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased by $0.01 million or 3% to $0.54 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 compared to $0.53 million for the same period ended March 31, 2021. The spend remained relatively flat period over period - professional fees in Q1 2022 can be attributed to legal support with preparation and filling of the Company's Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 14, 2022, and audit fees in connection with the audit of the 2021 Form 10-K.

Salary Expenses

Salary expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, were $0.92 million, a $0.03 million or 4% increase from the comparative period. The increase in salary cost is attributable to the restructuring and growth of the organization as the Company continued to restructure its executive and management teams and seek to expand into new markets and work towards commercialization of DuraGraft in the United States.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, were $1.22 million, a $0.83 million or 211% increase from the comparative period. The increase in research and development expenses can be mainly attributed to its expanded research and development program due the Company's acquisition of the MATLOC 1 assets in late 2021, and its focus on development and advancement of its other products - DuraGraft and Krillase - towards commercialization.

Other General and Administrative Expenses

Other general and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million or 32% to $0.39 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due to the Company's non-legal fees related to the filing of the Company's Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 14, 2022, preparation toward its anticipated public offering, and expenses associated with running a public company. Due to the planned continued buildout of administrative and commercial functions we expect general and administrative expenses to increase in future periods.

Other Expenses

During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $0.30 million of interest and accretion costs associated with convertible notes issued at discount as part of the Units Offering agreements. Additionally, the Company recognized $1.83 million of fair value loss from mark to market adjustments on the contingent liabilities assumed on the acquisition of Somah due to the change of the fair value of the contingent consideration.

20

LIQUIDUTY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

To date, we have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2022, we had available cash of $3,172,967 and an accumulated deficit of $53,948,448. We fund our operations through capital raises.

Private Placements

Unit Purchase Agreement

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company issued an additional 2,290,659 units under its Unit Purchase Agreement for gross proceeds of $4,008,653. Of the total 2,290,659 Units issued: (i) 159,245 Units were issued to settle notes payable assumed on acquisition of My Health Logic, (ii) 22,857 Units were issued to settle accounts payable, and 171,428 Units were issued in exchange for services rendered to the Company in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The remaining proceeds from this offering will be used to sustain the Company's growth and meet its capital obligations.

Public Offering

On February 14, 2021, Marizyme filed a registration on Form S-1 with the SEC with intention to raise up to an estimated $15,000,000, or $17,250,000 including the underwriter's over-allotment option. The proceeds from the offering will be used by the Company (i) to develop its DuraGraft, MATLOC, and Krillase platforms; (ii) to commercialize and produce its products, and (iii) for general working capital and other corporate purposes.

Funding Requirements and Other Liquidity Matters

Marizyme expects to continue to incur expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future. We anticipate that our expenses will increase as a result of the following operational and business development efforts:

● Increase our expertise and knowledge through hiring and retaining qualified operational, financial and management personnel, who will build efficient infrastructure to support development and commercialization of therapies and devices;
● Increase in research and development and legal expenses as we continue to develop our products, conduct clinical trials and pursue FDA approvals;
● Expand our product portfolio through the identification and acquisition of additional life science assets; and
● Seek to increase awareness about our products to boost sales and distributions internationally.

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues to support our cost structure, the Company will continue to have to raise funds beyond its current working capital balance in order to finance future development of products, potential acquisitions, and meet its debt obligations until such time as future profitable revenues are achieved.

We expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, government or other third-party funding, and collaborations arrangements or acquisitions. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders may be materially diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, would result in increased fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends, that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Securing additional financing could require a substantial amount of time and attention from our management and may divert a disproportionate amount of their attention away from day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our management's ability to oversee the development or acquisition of product.

If we raise additional funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or marketing, distribution, or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

21

The increase in net case used in operating activities primarily related to a $1.63 million increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and amounts due to related parties in support of the growth of our operating activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was due to $3.74 million of funds raised from the issuance of convertible promissory notes pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

Our management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements and accompanying notes. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For a description of our critical accounting policies, please see the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" contained in our 2021 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes to the critical accounting policies discussed therein during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2022, the Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, with the participation, and under the supervision, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective due to the material weakness described below.

Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it 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. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.A material weakness in disclosure controls and procedures includes a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the registrant's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the company's internal controls.

As previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of a material weakness in the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls related to inadequate internal technical staffing levels and lack of board or management oversight. In connection with our preparation of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we identified a material weakness in our disclosure controls and procedures due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the following:

● We did not maintain a sufficient complement of internal personnel with appropriate knowledge, experience and/or training commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. We relied on outside consulting technical experts and did not maintain adequate internal qualified personnel to properly supervise and review the information provided by the outside consulting technical experts to ensure certain significant complex transactions and technical matters were properly accounted for.
● In addition, we did not have proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting process. The areas where we had a lack of segregation of duties include cash receipts and disbursements, approval of purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment.
● We did not have adequate policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely, effective review of assumptions used in measuring the fair value of certain financial instruments. We did not have adequate policies and procedures in place to ensure the timely, effective review of compliance with contractual covenants in certain financial instruments, and
● We did not have an independent audit committee to oversee the financial reporting processes and reporting.

To remediate the material weaknesses described above, management will continue to add controls to further enhance and revise the design of the existing controls including:

● Establishing policies and procedures to ensure timely review, by qualified personnel, of assumptions used in measuring fair value of certain financial instruments.
● Reassessing the design and operation of internal controls over financial reporting and review procedures over the preparation of our financial statements.
● Hiring permanent accounting personnel and used consultants to provide support during our quarterly and annual preparation, review, and reporting of our financial statements.
● Maintaining adequate internal qualified personnel to properly supervise and review the information provided by the outside consulting technical experts to ensure certain significant complex transactions and technical matters were properly accounted for.

We believe these measures will remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures described above by the second quarter of 2022.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As discussed above, the management is working on remediating the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting identified above, but due to the corporate restructuring and multiple changes to our officers and management team, no significant steps have been taken to remediate the material deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings, which arise, in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Other than the legal proceedings described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

On August 19, 2021, Dr. Neil Campbell, former President, Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company, and Bruce Harmon, former Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company, each filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial against the Company and Insperity Peo Services, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Insperity"), a joint employer of Dr. Campbell and Mr. Harmon with the Company under a Client Service Agreement, dated November 30, 2020 (collectively, the "Campbell/Harmon Complaints"). Both Campbell/Harmon Complaints allege that the Company and Insperity violated Section 448.105 of the Florida Private Whistleblower Act as a result of the constructive terminations of Dr. Campbell and Mr. Harmon after the occurrence of violations federal and state law, including federal securities law, at the Company that exposed Dr. Campbell and Mr. Harmon to civil and criminal forms of liability and that the Company was not addressing to their satisfaction. Both Campbell/Harmon Complaints demand approximately $30,000 - $50,000 in back pay and benefits, interest on back pay, front pay and/or lost earning capacity, compensatory damages, costs and attorney's fees, and such other relief as the court deems equitable. We intend to vigorously defend against these claims. As of March 31, 2022, these cases were in arbitration. Subsequently to the quarter end, in April 2022, both cases were dismissed with prejudice and without any financial impact on the Company.

On January 28, 2022, we filed a Complaint in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida (the "Florida Circuit Court"), case number 50-2022-CA-000859-XXX-MB, against Amy Chandler (the "Chandler Complaint"). The Chandler Complaint seeks damages for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, negligence, conversion, and civil theft. The Chandler Complaint alleged that, approximately two months before her resignation in September 2021, Ms. Chandler intentionally and recklessly took affirmative actions to cancel the CE certificate required by European Union regulations in order for Marizyme and its subsidiary, Somahlution, LLC, to ship and distribute certain products to/within the European Union, and disregarded her fiduciary duty to Marizyme and responsibilities as its former Executive Vice President for Regulatory Affairs and Quality Management Systems. As a result, the Chandler Complaint alleged that Ms. Chandler's actions caused significant disruption and damage to Marizyme's business, including, but not limited to, financial damages and damage to Marizyme's reputation and business relationships. The Chandler Complaint further alleged that prior to her last day, Ms. Chandler stole confidential, proprietary files governing Marizyme's quality management system, which were required for essential internal business operations, and that Marizyme incurred significant costs to recreate these files. The Chandler Complaint alleged damages in excess of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000.00), exclusive of interest, attorneys' fees, and costs.

On February 28, 2022, Ms. Chandler filed a Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim to Plaintiff's Complaint with the Florida Circuit Court (the "Chandler Countercomplaint"). The Chandler Countercomplaint denied the claims in the Chandler Complaint and most of the factual allegations regarding her alleged actions. The Chandler Countercomplaint also included a counterclaim of defamation per se against the Company based on certain statements regarding this litigation that were included in the Registration Statement. As to the claims in the Chandler Complaint, the Chandler Countercomplaint demanded an award of attorneys' fees and costs, court costs on all counts, and such further relief the court deems just and proper. As to the counterclaim of defamation, the Chandler Countercomplaint requested monetary damages, punitive damages, court costs, and any other relief the court deems just and proper. The Chandler Countercomplaint also demanded trial by jury on all triable issues.

On March 18, 2022, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss Counterclaim with the Florida Circuit Court (the "Motion to Dismiss"). The Motion to Dismiss stated that the Chandler Countercomplaint for defamation per se should be dismissed with prejudice because the Company has not made any statements about Chandler outside the allegations in the Chandler Complaint. The Motion to Dismiss stated that the statements regarding this litigation that were included in the Registration Statement were as a matter of law not false because they all accurately reproduced the allegations in the Chandler Complaint and such statements were prefaced by the words "The Chandler Complaint alleged". The Motion to Dismiss further stated that allegations in the litigation are subject to Florida's litigation privilege and cannot serve as a basis for a defamation claim as a matter of law. As of [*], 2022, this case was pending.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

On January 13, 2022, we conducted an additional closing of our unit private placement, in which we sold to a consultant 22,857 units at a price of $1.75 per unit in exchange for services, the units consisting of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40,000 and Class C warrants for the purchase of 45,714 shares of our common stock.

On January 24, 2022, we conducted an additional closing of our unit private placement, in which we sold to two investors a total of 159,245 units at a price of $1.75 per unit in exchange for the assumption, cancellation, and conversion of principal notes of our subsidiary My Health Logic, the units consisting of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $278,678 and Class C warrants for the purchase of 218,490 shares of our common stock.

On January 24, 2022, we conducted an additional closing of our unit private placement, in which we sold to the representative and its designee Bradley Richmond a total of 171,429 units at a price of $1.75 per unit in exchange for services, the units consisting of convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $300,000 and Class C warrants for the purchase of 342,857 shares of our common stock.

On March 24, 2022, we conducted an additional closing of the unit private placement in which we issued a number of investors a total of 1,937,129 units at a price of $1.75 per unit for a total cash payment of $3,389,975, of which we received $3,118,777 after placement agent fees. The units consist of Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $3,389,975 and Class C Warrants for the purchase of 3,874,257 shares of common stock. The Convertible Notes in this and subsequent closings were also modified to provide that upon the occurrence of certain qualified financings of $10 million or more as described above, such Convertible Notes would be voluntarily, not automatically, convertible at the lower of 75% of the price per equity security in such financing and the otherwise applicable conversion price. The conversion provision was also modified to remove the requirement that an effective registration statement allow for the issuance or resale of shares of common stock into which the convertible notes may be converted in order for the conversion price of the Convertible Notes to be subject to the reduction to 75% of the price per equity security in a qualified financing.

The Company engaged Univest Securities, LLC as the Company's placement agent for this private placement. The Company paid Univest a cash placement fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the units and will pay Univest 8.0% of the gross proceeds from the exercise of the Class C warrants. In addition, in exchange for a $100 payment by Univest, the Company has agreed to issue warrants to Univest to purchase an aggregate of 8.0% of the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes issued in the private placement, with an exercise price equal to $1.75. These warrants, which may be exercised on a cashless basis, will be exercisable starting on the final closing date of this offering and will be exercisable for a period of five years from that date.

All of the securities issued in the private placement were sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
