Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.	ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS, LIQUIDITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

SmartKem, Inc. (the “Company”) formerly known as Parasol Investments Corporation (“Parasol”), was formed on May 13, 2020, and is the successor of SmartKem Limited, which was formed under the Laws of England and Wales. The Company was founded as a “shell” company registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), with no specific business plan or purpose until it began operating the business of SmartKem Limited following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated February 21, 2021, with SmartKem Limited. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement all of the equity interests in SmartKem Limited, except certain deferred shares which had no economic or voting rights and which were purchased by Parasol for an aggregate purchase price of $1.40, were exchanged for shares of Parasol common stock and SmartKem Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parasol (the “Exchange”).

Business

The Company is seeking to reshape the world of electronics with its disruptive organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) that have the potential to drive the next generation of displays. SmartKem’s patented TRUFLEX® semiconductor and dielectric inks, or electronic polymers, are used to make a new type of transistor that could potentially revolutionize the display industry. SmartKem’s inks enable low temperature printing processes that are compatible with existing manufacturing infrastructure to deliver low-cost displays that outperform existing technologies. The company’s electronic polymer platform can be used in a number of display technologies including microLED, miniLED and AMOLED displays for next generation televisions, laptops, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets, smartwatches and smartphones. SmartKem develops its materials at its research and development facility in Manchester, UK, its semiconductor manufacturing processes at the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) at Sedgefield, UK and retains a field application office in Taiwan. The Company has an extensive IP portfolio including 125 granted patents across 19 patent families and 40 codified trade secrets.

Risk and Uncertainties

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the growth stage, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology and compliance with regulatory requirements.

The Company has access under a framework agreement to equipment which is used in the manufacturing of demonstrator products employing the Company’s inks. If the Company lost access to this fabrication facility, it would materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to manufacture prototypes and demonstrate products for potential customers. The loss of this access could significantly impede the Company’s ability to engage in product development and process improvement activities. Alternative providers of similar services exist but would take effort and time to bring into the Company’s operations.

Liquidity

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Company has incurred continuing losses including net losses of $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company’s cash as of September 30, 2023 was $11.2 million. The Company anticipates operating losses to continue for the foreseeable future due to, among other things, costs related to research funding, further development of our technology and products and expenses related to the commercialization of our products.

SMARTKEM, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

In June 2023 the Company raised $14.0 million through two closings of a private placement of Preferred Stock (as defined below) and Warrants (as defined below). Net proceeds after related expenses were $12.7 million, alleviating substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company used approximately $5.6 million of cash in its operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Management believes that the Company’s existing cash as of September 30, 2023 will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for the twelve months from the issuance of this financial statement and that the Company may require additional capital funding to continue its operations and research and development activity thereafter.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2023 and may also be found on the Company’s website (www.smartkem.com). In these notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements the terms “us,” “we” or “our” refer to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim reporting and with the SEC’s instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They include the accounts of all wholly owned subsidiaries and all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Amounts are presented in thousands, except number of shares and per share data.

The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make assumptions and estimates that impact the amounts reported. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022; however, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report have been condensed or omitted as permitted by GAAP. It is important to note that the Company’s results of operations and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows to be expected for a full fiscal year or any interim period.

Reverse Stock Split

All share numbers and per share amounts presented in these financial statements, including these footnotes reflect a one-for-thirty-five (1:35) reverse stock split effected on September 21, 2023.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Other than the policies listed below, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as set forth in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report.

Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relates to the valuation of common share, fair value of share options and fair value of warrant liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis

Table of Contents

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Due to the uncertainty of factors surrounding the estimates or judgments used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, actual results may materially vary from these estimates.

Warrant Liability

The Company assessed its warrants in accordance with the guidance contained in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, under which warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company will classify those warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value in respect of each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations.

Issuance Costs

The Company assessed the issuance cost in connection with the issuance of an equity offering. ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A, Expenses of Offering, states that specific incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of equity securities may properly be deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. Analogizing to that guidance, specific incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in equity should generally be recorded as a reduction in equity. However, issuance costs for equity contracts that are classified as a liability should be expensed immediately. The issuance costs are allocated to the equity and liability components of the underlying transaction on a basis of the allocated fair value of the gross proceeds in the overall transactions. The total issuance costs were $1.6 million, with $0.2 million charged directly to the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires measurement and recognition of expected losses for financial assets held. The new standard changes the impairment model for most financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a new forward-looking approach, based on expected losses. The estimate of expected credit losses will require organizations to incorporate considerations of historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The standards update is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, for U.S. Securities Exchange filers. However, the standard was not applicable until January 1, 2023, because the company has elected to apply the extended transition period available for emerging growth companies. Emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies, which is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it also simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023. This update permits the use of either the modified retrospective or fully retrospective method of transition. The Company has determined that the impact this ASU did not have material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
