Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Cosmos Holdings, Inc. ("Cosmos", "The Company", "we", or "us") was incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Prime Estates and Developments, Inc. on July 21, 2009 for the purpose of acquiring and operating commercial real estate and real estate related assets.

On September 27, 2013 (the "Closing"), Cosmos Holdings, Inc. a Nevada corporation ("Cosmos Holdings, Inc." or the "Registrant"), closed a reverse take-over transaction by which it acquired a private company whose principal activities are the trading of products, providing representation, and provision of consulting services to various sectors. Pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") between the Registrant and Amplerissimo Ltd, a company incorporated in Cyprus ("Amplerissimo"), the Registrant acquired 100% of Amplerissimo's issued and outstanding common stock.

On August 1, 2014, we, through our Cypriot subsidiary Amplerissimo, formed SkyPharm S.A. a Greek Corporation ("SkyPharm") whose principal activities and operations are the development, marketing and sales of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

The Company had $533,802 total revenues and expended approximately $976,261 for the year ended December 31, 2015, in connection with these operations.

Going Concern

The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a net loss of $6,687,912 for the year ended December 31, 2015, and has an accumulated deficit of $401,217 as of December 31, 2015. The Company has not yet established an adequate ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease development of operations.

In order to continue as a going concern, develop a reliable source of revenues, and achieve a profitable level of operations the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plans to continue as a going concern include raising additional capital through increased sales of product and by sale of common shares. However, management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated accounts include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Amplerissimo Ltd and SkyPharm S.A. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no cash equivalents.

The Company maintains bank accounts in the United States denominated in U.S. Dollars and in the Republic of Cyprus, in Greece and in Bulgaria all of them denominated in Euros. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the amounts in these accounts were $(190) and $7,808 (the Euro equivalent of which was €7,159). At December 31, 2014, the amounts in these accounts were $88,705 and $357,899 (the Euro equivalent of which was €294,446).

Account Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for doubtful accounts against gross accounts receivable reflects the best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value using the weighted average method. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and packaging materials, i.e. packaged pharmaceutical products and the wrappers and containers they are sold in. A periodic inventory system is maintained by 100% count. Inventory is replaced periodically to maintain the optimum stock on hand available for immediate shipment.

We write-down inventories to net realizable value based on forecasted demand and market conditions, which may differ from actual results.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the useful lives (except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated over the lesser of the lease term or the useful life) of the assets as follows:

		Estimated Useful Life
Furniture and fixtures		5–7 years
Office and computer equipment		3-5 years

Depreciation expense was $5,416 and $9,478 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Fair Value Measurement

The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or ASC 820, for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to existing generally accepted accounting principles that require the use of fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. The adoption of ASC 820 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position or operating results, but did expand certain disclosures.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

The Company did not have any Level 2 or Level 3 assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2015.

Cash is considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable as of December 31, 2015 and therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy.

In addition, FASB ASC 825-10-25 Fair Value Option, or ASC 825-10-25, was effective for January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10-25 expands opportunities to use fair value measurements in financial reporting and permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The Company did not elect the fair value options for any of its qualifying financial instruments.

Revenue Recognition

We consider revenue recognizable when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, goods or services have been delivered, and collectability is reasonably assured. These criteria are assumed to have been met if a customer orders an item, the goods or services have been shipped or delivered to the customer, and we have sufficient evidence of collectability, such a payment history with the customer. Revenue that is billed and received in advance such as recurring weekly or monthly services are initially deferred and recognized as revenue over the period the services are provided.

Our records at December 31, 2015 have been sufficient to satisfy all of the four requirements. Revenue has been recognized for all amounts billed prior to December 31, 2015, all of which were in respect of services rendered during December 2015 or prior to January 2016.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with ASC section 718, "Stock Compensation" and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107 (SAB 107) issued by the SEC in March 2005 regarding its interpretation of ASC 718. ASC 718 requires the fair value of all stock-based employee compensation awarded to employees to be recorded as an expense over the related requisite service period. The Company values any employee or non-employee stock based compensation at fair value using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model.

The Company accounts for non-employee share-based awards in accordance with the measurement and recognition criteria of ASC 505-50 "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees".

Foreign Currency Translations and Transactions

Assets and liabilities of all foreign operations are translated at year-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the year. Gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements are accumulated in a separate component of stockholders' equity until the entity is sold or substantially liquidated.

Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's local currency) are included in net earnings.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable.

The following tables show the number of the Company's clients which contributed 10% or more of revenue and accounts receivable, respectively:

		Year Ended December 31,				Year Ended December 31,
		2015				2014
Number of 10% clients			2				2
Percentage of total revenue			87.21	%			100	%

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, as required by the accounting standard for income taxes ASC 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, as well as net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company is liable for income taxes in the Republic of Cyprus and Greece. The corporate income tax rate in Cyprus is 12.5% and 26% in Greece and tax losses are carried forward for five years effective January 1, 2013 (prior to 2013, losses were carried forward indefinitely). Losses may also be subject to limitation under certain rules regarding change of ownership.

We regularly review deferred tax assets to assess their potential realization and establish a valuation allowance for portions of such assets to reduce the carrying value if we do not consider it to be more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Our review includes evaluating both positive (e.g., sources of taxable income) and negative (e.g., recent historical losses) evidence that could impact the realizability of our deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2015 the Company has maintained a valuation allowance against all net deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction in which it is subject to income tax.

We recognize the impact of an uncertain tax position in our financial statements if, in management's judgment, the position is not more-likely-then-not sustainable upon audit based on the position's technical merits. This involves the identification of potential uncertain tax positions, the evaluation of applicable tax laws and an assessment of whether a liability for an uncertain tax position is necessary. As of December 31, 2015 the Company has no uncertain tax positions recorded in any jurisdiction where it is subject to income tax.

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. The per share amounts include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2015 is the same due to the anti-dilutive nature of potential common stock equivalents.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of the revenue standard issued in 2014, ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In response to stakeholders' requests to defer the effective date of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 and in consideration of feedback received through extensive outreach with preparers, practitioners, and users of financial statements, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Respondents to the proposal overwhelmingly supported a deferral. Respondents noted that providing sufficient time for implementation of the guidance in ASU 2014-09 is critical to its success.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which requires that an entity classify deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Prior to the issuance of the standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities were required to be separated into current and noncurrent amounts on the basis of the classification of the related asset or liability. This ASU is effective for the Company on April 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-17 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.
