Matthew Wolfson, Founder and CEO of EMED, noted, "We are pleased with our positive operating results for the third quarter of 2021. Implementation of our new sales and marketing initiatives are starting to pay off, as indicated by the increases in both unit sales and revenue.

Cash Flows and Balance Sheet Highlights

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, lenders converted principal totaling $1,549,800 plus accrued interest into 43,316,791 shares of common stock. The remaining principal outstanding of $972,353 includes $772,353 for which a forbearance agreement was entered into on September 3, 2021 with a lender, and $150,000, which was separately converted by another lender into shares of common stock in October 2021.

On October 14, 2021, the Company entered into two financing contracts: one with Mast Hill Fund, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Mast Hill"), in the principal amount of $500,000; and another with Talos Victory Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Talos") in the principal amount of $250,000.

On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with a third party to invest up to $5,000,000 to purchase the Company's common stock. Concurrently, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, as an inducement to the investor to execute and deliver the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, whereby the Company agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933. The Company also entered into a non-exclusive placement agency agreement in connection with the offering and sale under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, subject to market conditions and negotiations between the Company, the placement agent and the prospective investor.

Matthew Wolfson, Founder and CEO of EMED, "Since I founded this Company, my goals were to provide a safe drug free solution for pain management, strengthen the Company's financial performance, implement supply chain efficiencies, produce premium products, and provide a culture that will generate an increase in sales and distribution around the globe. I am delighted with the outcome of settling our variably convertible notes. We anticipate this substantial reduction in convertible debt will allow us to better utilize our financial resources to expand our production capacity, strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our bottom line, as well as provide protection for market dilution to preserve shareholder value."

"We are making every effort to retire the remaining balance of fixed price convertible notes prior to conversion with money raised from an S-1 registration statement that we intend to file with the Securities & Exchange Commission. EMED is now moving forward with the anticipation of raising funds without the use of dilutive convertible debt financing. We are also happy that we were able to negotiate the settlement of warrants at a fixed price without reset provisions. This will serve us well as we seek to uplist to a more senior and reputable exchange next year."

Over the remaining part of Q4 leading to the end of fiscal 2021, the Company intends to be making numerous positive changes. This has already commenced with the increase in authorized shares to 250 million common shares on October 14, 2021. This increase should allow the Company to strengthen its financial metrics on a consolidated basis. The Company is also planning on appointing independent directors in the near future to help with oversight and management and growth of the Company.
