SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Staff determined that certain securities previously received by each of Univest Securities, LLC (“Univest”) and Bradley Richmond, a registered representative of Univest, in connection with the following transactions with the Company constituted underwriting compensation in connection with the Company’s anticipated public offering pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110, based on the FINRA Staff’s interpretation of such rule: (a) the Company’s Units Private Placement conducted between May 2021 and August 2022, (b) the My Health Logic acquisition, (c) a consulting agreement that the Company entered into with Mr. Richmond in September 2020, and (d) a stock option exercisable for 18,249 shares of common stock received by Mr. Richmond from one of the Company’s former executives in March 2022. Consequently, each of Univest and Mr. Richmond, pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with the Company (the “October 2022 Letter Agreement”), agreed to forego their applicable rights to an aggregate of 111,091 To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Marizyme, Inc.: Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Marizyme, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Going Concern The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has experienced cash used from operations in excess of its current cash position, and has an accumulated deficit, that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Business Combination Accounting - DuraGraft Critical Audit Matter Description As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2021, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation related to the 2020 acquisition of DuraGraft including the total purchase consideration of $23.6 million. The total purchase consideration includes the estimated fair value of contingent consideration totaling $9.6 million, which DuraGraft’s former security holders may receive, subject to the acquired business’s achievement of certain revenue targets and achievement of certain FDA milestones within its development stage in the future. We identified the evaluation of the acquisition date fair value measurement of the contingent consideration as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of complex auditor judgment in evaluating the key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration. In particular, the fair value measurement was sensitive to the significant assumptions underlying the estimated amount of future sales of the acquired products. Management utilized its expertise within the industry, including commercial dynamics, trends and utilization, as well as knowledge of clinical development and regulatory approval processes to determine certain of these assumptions. Valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were needed to assist in performing certain fair value calculations. At December 31, 2021, the Company increased its contingent consideration liabilities to $11.3 million utilizing a consistent valuation methodology with the initial fair value. The DuraGraft acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition date fair values for the identifiable intangible assets are $18.1 million. We identified the evaluation of the acquisition date fair value measurement of certain intangible assets, including customer relationships, market-related, patents, and in-process research and development as a critical audit matter. There was a high degree of complex auditor judgment in evaluating the key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of certain intangible assets. Specifically, key assumptions included the forecasted revenue growth rates. Valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were needed to assist in performing certain fair value calculations. How the Critical Matter was Addressed in the Audit To test the estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date and year end, our audit procedures included inspecting the terms of the executed agreement, assessing the Monte Carlo simulation model used and testing the key contractual inputs and significant assumptions discussed above. We evaluated the assumptions and judgments considering observable industry and economic trends and standards, external data sources and regulatory factors. Estimated amounts of future revenues were evaluated for reasonableness in relation to internal and external analyses, clinical development progress and timelines, probability of success benchmarks, and regulatory notices. Our procedures included evaluating the data sources used by management in determining its assumptions and, where necessary, included an evaluation of available information that either corroborated or contradicted management’s conclusions. We also assessed the professional competence, experience, and objectivity of the Company’s external valuation specialist. We involved a valuation specialist to assess the Company’s Monte Carlo simulation model and to perform corroborative fair value calculations. To test the fair value of the Company’s purchase price allocation and corresponding intangible assets, our audit procedures included evaluating the Company’s valuation model, the method and significant assumptions used and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates. We evaluated the forecasted revenues and corresponding gross margins assigned to these intangible assets and compared to relevant industry data as well as management’s assumptions utilized. We reconciled the discount rates to the projected internal rate of return for the acquisition and compared the royalty rates to industry data. We also assessed the professional competence, experience, and objectivity of the Company’s external valuation specialist. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of the valuation model and certain significant assumptions as well as the performance of a parallel calculation. Business Combination Accounting - My Health Logic Inc. Critical Audit Matter Description As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, On December 22, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of My Health Logic Inc. (“MHL”) for total consideration of 306,740 common shares, as disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The acquisition is accounted for as a business combination and the Company allocated $6,600,000 of the purchase price to the fair value of intangible assets including trade names, biotechnology and software. The Company is in the process of finalizing the estimated values of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed including finalizing certain intangible assets and the determination of certain tax basis balances; therefore, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to revision as of December 31, 2021. Auditing management’s preliminary allocation of purchase price for its acquisition of MHL involved especially subjective and complex judgements due to the significant estimation required in determining the fair value and allocation of intangible assets. The significant estimation was primarily due to the complexity of the valuation models used to measure that fair value as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. The significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets and subsequent amortization expense included forecasted revenues, discount rates, and economic lives. These significant assumptions are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. How the Critical Matter Was Addressed in the Audit The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. To test the fair value of the Company’s purchase price allocation and corresponding intangible assets, our audit procedures included evaluating the Company’s valuation model, the method and significant assumptions used and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions and estimates. We reconciled the discount rates to the projected internal rate of return for the acquisition and compared the royalty rates to industry data. We also assessed the professional competence, experience, and objectivity of the Company’s external valuation specialist. We involved our valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of the valuation model and certain significant assumptions as well as the performance of a parallel calculation.
